Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 726: Chapter 726: Annoyance, Regret

Zhang Qiufang was undoubtedly very satisfied with the life she and Meng Qingdong were leading now.

However, there are no what-ifs in the world. Today Luo Yanqing drove Kang Li to Ma Wang Brigade, and it was indeed Wang Guilan who had given birth to Luo Yanqing. They were mother and son, so if Zhang Qiufang were replaced by anyone else, it’s likely that they too would feel resentment and incredibly stifled.

Not dividing the family meant that their household would also have good relatives, not dividing meant that their children and the children next door in Meng Xingwang’s family, seen as liabilities, would have an able uncle.

In the future, would they not stand out?

But everything was too late now!

How could she not resent her deceased father-in-law?

How could she not resent the men in her family and her sister-in-law for being too ruthless?

”With the relationship with the neighbors like this now, you harbor resentment, jealous of the neighbors, this lifetime could only be like this!” Did Meng Qingdong regret it?

He certainly did regret it.

But how could he have known that Stepmother Wang Guilan and the son she had with her previous husband would turn out to be successful?

Moreover, since Wang Guilan followed his father, he had never seen her interacting with the son she had left behind in her previous husband’s home.

Who knew that twenty-one or twenty-two years later, the son Wang Guilan had before she entered the Meng family would suddenly show up in their village.

And he arrived driving a car.

And the man looked capable, at first glance.

Meng Qingdong was even thinking that if Stepmother Wang Guilan had brought her son along when she entered the Meng family door, maybe he would have become closer than real brothers with the man he saw today.

If that were the case, wouldn’t he benefit from the other party’s success?

Looking back on the past, Meng Qingdong realized... Stepmother Wang Guilan indeed hadn’t mistreated him and his sister, at least not like other stepmothers in the village, who would often beat and scold their stepchildren, give leftover food to stepchildren, or even outright starve them.

She just didn’t show a nice face to them when their father wasn’t looking.

Yet, because of this, he and his sister didn’t like the stepmother, resisted the stepmother, and never had a full conversation with the stepmother or called her ”Mother” before their father died!

Not to mention, before their father closed his eyes forever, they summoned the respected elders of the village to their home and directly divided his household from the rest, a decision he was overjoyed about at that moment.

After all, he already had a wife and children, his own little family. If he continued to live with Stepmother Wang Guilan and the few half-brothers she had borne, they would undoubtedly hold him back.

Six, six underage brothers, the first few not much younger in age, meaning, if he lived under the same roof with the stepmother’s family, he would inevitably have to take on the responsibility of the eldest son, helping his younger brothers get married.

Just thinking about this would make one feel tired.

And why should he tire himself for others?

So, completely severing ties with the stepmother’s family couldn’t be better!

Of course, this was before today.

As for now, Meng Qingdong didn’t want to admit it, but he had to admit that he was annoyed and at the same time very regretful—he shouldn’t have severed relationships with the neighbor’s family so completely!

Wang Guilan and her children had no idea that the family next door was both annoyed and regretful, and had severed ties with their household so cleanly; naturally, they also didn’t know how much the family next door envied and resented them.

”Third brother, I can’t sleep.”

Meng Xingguo, perhaps too excited, found it hard to fall asleep even with his eyes closed. He moved closer to Meng Xingping and asked, ”Have you fallen asleep?”
