Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1111: Chapter 1112: The Way to Repay Kindness

Meng Chaojun fell silent for a moment, then said, ”I will remember her kindness and will try to make it up to her in the future, but Dad, what Uncle said isn’t entirely unreasonable. I just don’t want Xinian to take on such big troubles in the future.”

Old Meng’s face darkened.

”The circumstances of Little’s birth are a problem, and I’m concerned about what Bohyuan said too. But there may well be ways to solve it. Plus, your son is much smarter than you, and it’s his business. As long as he can shoulder it, that’s fine!”

”I owe Xinian too much, and of course, I hope he can have a bright future and a harmonious family. Chiang Xiao is very good, but her background just isn’t up to par. Dad, I will make it up to her in other ways. Whether she wants money, fame, or even power, I will help her get it. But I still hope that Xinian can marry a girl who can support him and come from a family similar to his.”

”You...” Old Meng glared at him, ”Does Little need you to give her those things?”

”Why wouldn’t she? Dad, she’s quite good and very capable, but the world isn’t such that she can get by on her own abilities, as you well know,” Meng Chaojun said expressionlessly. ”If I can get better, in the future the Meng Family can be her support, and we’ll all protect her for life! But still, I hold the same opinion. Xinian has had a hard enough time already, and I hope he can live better in the future instead of being dragged down.”

Old Meng was at a loss for words.

Meng Chaojun continued: ”You can even acknowledge her as your honorary granddaughter, and we can find her an excellent match from all aspects to ensure she has a worry-free life.”

”Pah!”

Old Meng spat at him, ”Have you lost your mind? To pass up such a good daughter-in-law and let someone else benefit?”

He didn’t even want to talk to him anymore, to prevent getting so angry he might pass away.

Were it not for the fact that this was his own son, he truly wanted to go tell Chiang Xiao to stop bothering with him, to stop making medicine for him, and just let him fend for himself!

What a donkey!

Chiang Xiao had made the medicine and left the Meng Family house for school before Aunt Guo arrived to make breakfast.

Now seeing that Meng Chaojun had regained some confidence and spirit in fighting his illness, she felt somewhat relieved. She had told Old Meng that she wouldn’t be back for lunch.

She needed to use the lunch break to go see an art exhibition.

However, as soon as class ended, she was called into the office by her homeroom teacher.

This was a teacher from Elite Middle School, and naturally, Chiang Xiao was not familiar with her.

”Teacher Lin, you wanted to see me?”

Teacher Lin scrutinized Chiang Xiao.

In fact, she was not very fond of Chiang Xiao, the girl who had come from G Province’s county high school, mainly because everyone else had never requested leave, and Chiang Xiao had already done so several times.

She had only been at the school for a month, and just over a week into it, she needed to take leave several times?

”Chiang Xiao, how do you feel after coming to our school? Do you find it especially difficult to get used to?” Teacher Lin asked.

Chiang Xiao said, ”Not at all, everything is quite good.”

”Then why do you keep asking for leave?” Teacher Lin’s expression was very serious. ”Furthermore, I heard that although the school arranged a dormitory for you, you often stay off-campus, is that right?”

Chiang Xiao was taken aback.

She thought this had been arranged with Teacher Zhou who brought them to the school.

”Teacher Lin, it’s because there are things to deal with at home, so...”

Before she could finish, Teacher Lin interrupted her, ”Home? Is that your home? Do you know that the very ’home’ you mentioned called the school yesterday, explaining your connection to their family? Isn’t it just because your grandfather once did their elder a favor? So you are taking advantage of this and insisting on living in their home?”
