Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 547: Chapter 547: You Think I Want To?

Meng Xingsheng stood in the middle of Wang Guilan’s room, his eyes bloodshot, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, as he struggled to control his emotions,

refraining from losing his temper at his mother, who was sitting cross-legged on the kang. But seeing that his mother was completely ignoring him, he finally lost control and shouted in a raised voice:

”You could find a wife for my elder brother, so why can’t you come up with the money for me? Don’t you know how old I am this year, or do you simply not care about me as your son?”

”Second brother, you’re pressuring our mother!”

Third brother Meng Xingping walked into the room from outside, looking unwell. Approaching Meng Xingsheng, he said in a loud voice, ”If our family had money, wouldn’t Mother want to arrange marriages for us brothers? Mother has been sick recently; she’s not even fully recovered. Is it right for you to yell at her like this?”

Meng Xingsheng glared at Meng Xingping: ”You think I want to yell?”

Looking on the verge of tears, Meng Xingsheng cried out, ”I’m already in my early twenties, but with the state of our home, when can I ever take a wife?

Now, I’ve finally met someone suitable. Her family only asks for two hundred yuan as a dowry, nothing else. Yet Mother won’t give the money to help me bring her home. Does she think only my big brother is her son, and I, the second child, am not born to her?”

Pausing for a moment, Meng Xingsheng continued, ”You dare say you’re not eager to get married? Nineteen, you’re nineteen. That’s not young anymore. In our brigade, guys our age have already brought wives home or are engaged, just waiting for the big day to welcome their brides. Some even have kids already...”

Meng Xingping frowned and interrupted Meng Xingsheng: ”Others are others, we are us. Every family has its own circumstances. Even if I really want to get married, what can I do?

You now feel that since big brother got married, Mother doesn’t treat you like her own son. But aren’t you clear about our family’s current situation? Besides, if Mother had any money, wouldn’t she use it to arrange our marriages?”

”The family doesn’t have it, Mother doesn’t have it, but the Luo Family’s eldest brother does!”

Meng Xingsheng stated as if it were obvious: ”Mother is also Luo Family’s eldest brother’s real mother. As long as she asks him nicely, I don’t believe Luo Family’s eldest brother would be so heartless as to refuse to give the money.”

Meng Xingping hadn’t expected that after the previous incident, his second brother Meng Xingsheng would still not forget to reach out to their stepbrother for money. With an ugly expression, he said:

”You know the attitude of the Luo Family’s eldest brother towards our mother. If he was willing to give our mother a lot of money, he would have done so right away. But does the Luo Family’s eldest brother even have it?

He doesn’t. He only gave us traveling expenses, and even that was begrudgingly on account of our mother’s face. Now you want Mother to go knocking on the Luo Family’s eldest brother’s door again, so the people in that big compound can gossip about her?”

”Our mother bore him for months...”

Before Meng Xingsheng could finish speaking, he heard their mother’s voice erupt, ”Shut up!” Wang Guilan’s face was stern as she stared at her second son: ”Among the six of you brothers, your big brother is the eldest. If you marry a wife before him, it won’t look proper anywhere we go.”

He was such a reserved kid growing up that you couldn’t get a peep out of him, but now that he’s of age to think about marriage, not only has he become articulate, he’s also become craftier. Who knows what little hussy has been putting ideas in his head,

Wang Guilan thought, her expression growing even darker as she said, ”How did I marry your father,
