Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2372: Chapter 2308: We’re Out of Money at Home

But if he doesn’t ask for medicine, he really just watches Meng Chaojun deteriorate day by day.

They dare not hold any grudge against Chiang Xiao, after all Chiang Xiao really went to great lengths to treat Meng Chaojun initially; it was they who caused the issues themselves.

Even Chen Baoshen was angry.

Moreover, Chiang Xiao has a lot going on too; didn’t her father have surgery recently? Brain surgery. They also felt that she might be exhausted, so they don’t want to add to her burden.

Now Chiang Xiao has proactively said she brought Potion Five, causing Old Meng to choke up uncontrollably.

”Really? Little, you really brought the potion over? But...”

Old Meng seemed to remember something, suddenly feeling embarrassed and saddened, turning his head awkwardly, unsure how to continue.

Chiang Xiao was a bit puzzled, ”Grandpa?”

”Little, our family doesn’t have that much... money now.”

The word ’money’ was difficult for him to say, and after he said it, his face flushed and his lips trembled, not daring to look at Chiang Xiao again.

What does it have to do with money?

Initially, Chiang Xiao didn’t understand why money was mentioned.

But in the next second, she realized.

The moment she realized, her face flushed hot, and her heart was filled with discomfort.

She suddenly felt she was a bit of a jerk.

During the time when she and Meng Chaojun had a falling out, sometimes when Meng Chaojun couldn’t withstand the pain, he came to ask her for Potion Five.

At that time, she charged an exorbitant price for a bottle.

A bottle of Potion Five costing thousands or tens of thousands, although it was worth it regarding the potion’s value, charging Meng Chaojun that much money was truly cold-hearted of her.

If Old Meng and Meng Chaojun were truly shameless and narrow-minded people, regardless of what had happened before, just for this reason alone, they should resent her.

But they didn’t.

At least, initially, they actively helped select the date for her marriage to Meng Xinian, and they even attended the wedding.

That night, Chiang Xiao reviewed the red envelopes she received, and Old Meng and Meng Chaojun each gave her two red envelopes, each containing five thousand yuan.

Meaning, they gave her a total of twenty thousand yuan.

At that time, she considered returning the money to them, but how did Tyrant Meng respond?

”One is witnessing his grandson marrying his oldest granddaughter-in-law, the other is witnessing his son marrying, probably the only daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law in this lifetime. If they don’t give the money to you, whom would they give it to? If you’re willing to accept it, they must be happy. Just keep it.”

Back then, she just thought Tyrant Meng said that to prevent her from sending the money back, making Old Master Meng think they were still drawing lines.

But now on reflection, wasn’t Tyrant Meng actually telling her that regardless of anything, they’re still his grandfather and his father?

Yet he never said a single negative word about her.

Actually, when she was collecting large sums of money for Meng Chaojun’s pain relief and possibly life-saving Potion Five, perhaps Meng Xinian didn’t feel good about it either.

Maybe he never wanted to seek fatherly love from Meng Chaojun again, but did she really have to widen the gap between them?

She thought she loved him all along.

Now Old Meng assumes she is bringing medicine to charge money.

That’s why he tells her they don’t have much money now at home.

Chiang Xiao looked at Old Meng’s graying hair and the wrinkles on his face, unable to help but take a deep breath.

”Grandpa, I didn’t say I wanted money.”
