Chapter 1133: Chapter 876: Mei Langchi’s Retribution

But Lin Wan still got home late, and by the time she arrived, both kids were already at home doing their homework. Dingding was picked up by their daughter.

"Mom, Dad just called." As soon as Xingxing saw her, she quickly said.

"Did your dad say anything?" Lin Wan saw Dingding playing with toys in the living room, being quite well-behaved.

"Dad didn’t say much, just mentioned he would call again later."

Lin Wan smiled and patted her daughter’s head, saying, "I got it, what do you want for dinner? I’ll cook for you."

"Mom, Mom, I want to eat meat." Dingding got excited upon hearing about food.

"I knew you’re a little glutton. Mommy bought some meat for you, and I’ll cook stir-fried meat today. Also, I got some pure milk for you."

"Yay, I want to drink it, I want to drink it."

"Alright, go play for now." Lin Wan settled her son and noticed her daughter was still doing homework, so she quickly washed some fruit for her. "How much time before your evening self-study?"

"Mom, I’ll have to leave in twenty minutes."

"Alright, I’ll make dinner for you first." Lin Wan said as she hurried to the kitchen, quickly cooking shrimp stir-fried with egg and some vegetables. She also made a noodle soup and cooled it in cold water.

Lin Wan originally planned to cook stir-fried meat for Dingding, but by the time she finished cooking, both kids had already eaten enough.

After dinner, Lin Wan took Dingding along to drop Xingxing off at school, and stayed downstairs to let a few kids play for a while before going up.

That’s when she received a call from Han Yi.

"You’re back, is it tiring at the factory?"

"Not tiring, things are quite fine here, don’t worry. By the way... Did you visit Old Mrs. Mei? How is she?"

"She’s barely eating, very weak, and was in a coma for more than an hour this afternoon. Second Aunt and the others thought it was the end, even bought the burial clothes."

"...Oh, then it might just be a day or two left."

Lin Wan didn’t tell Han Yi about the family matters, afraid he’d worry over there.

"If anything happens these days, I might return a few days late."

"Okay, take care of yourself, we’ll be waiting for you to come back."

"Yes, by the way, I’ve seen Lijuan and You Pei recently, You Pei got Lijuan to the Capital City, she’s working at a pretty good law firm now."

"Oh, what do they mean, have both families agreed to this, are Mom and Uncle Hu satisfied?"

"They probably are, otherwise they wouldn’t let Lijuan go work there."

"You Pei moves pretty fast, what’s his intention, is he really serious about marrying Lijuan?"

"Yes." Han Yi felt the two were progressing too quickly, and worried their feelings might not last forever.

While Han Yi was worrying, he didn’t realize that he and Lin Wan were the same.

"I’ll call S City tomorrow to see what Mom thinks. If both families agree, it’s a joyful thing. As their brother and sister-in-law, we should prepare something, don’t you think?"

"I’m fine with whatever you decide."

"Alright."

Lin Wan chatted with Han Yi for a while, and after hanging up, started to bathe Dingding. Then she lay on the bed, reviewing what he learned today, waiting for her daughter to come home from school.

When Xingxing returned, Dingding was already asleep.

Seeing her daughter have morning and evening self-study every day made Lin Wan feel heartache, but it was something every child had to go through. All they needed to do as parents was to provide a good environment and make sure the nutrition was adequate.

After settling her daughter, it was almost nine o’clock. She set an alarm for Little Star and then went to sleep.

The next day, she didn’t rush to her mom’s place, as she already knew the situation. Her dad and uncle would come up with a good plan. Originally, Saozi wanted to hire a lawyer to sue Wang Rui for extortion, but her dad stopped it.

He said to wait and just have someone keep an eye on it.

Judging by her dad’s demeanor, there must have been a plan.

They were just worried Wang Rui would start spending the money recklessly, and if they came to her again, not having the money would be troublesome.

However, her brother said that the person he had following Wang Rui reported that he had deposited the money in a bank and hadn’t touched it. This put their minds at ease.

Brother has been the scapegoat this time, but it has deepened the feelings between his wife and him.

After this incident passed, Grandpa said that one of the two children should step back, meaning not to develop in that circle, so it would make those people less envious.

Second Uncle’s suggestion was for Brother Anliang to step down, after all, they had established such a big orange base, which required management.

However, Dad didn’t agree; he said to have Brother step back. There are so many enterprises in the family, and with Mom getting older, it wouldn’t work to rely solely on Sister-in-law in the future; the family needs someone to take over.

Grandpa also knew both brothers were considering each other’s interests, and finally called the two grandsons together to ask their opinion.

Brother was firm in his attitude at Grandpa’s place, saying he would step down himself.

"Big brother and sister-in-law have good development at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences; the goals are smaller there. With me around, it’s too obvious, so I’ll step down. I’ve had this thought for a while, actually. My mom and Qingqing are managing such a large undertaking; every man needs to support it from the outside, which isn’t working. Resigning is just right for me. Grandpa, big brother, let’s settle it this way."

"Ah Hui, this matter..." Lin Anliang felt that his younger brother was giving way to him, honestly, over the years, he got along well with this cousin, but the matter where the elder was supposed to give way to the younger, now it was Ah Hui giving way to him, he felt uncomfortable.

"Big brother, I’ve discussed this with my wife. You don’t need to worry. Actually, in our family, my salary is the lowest, and if things continue like this, I really won’t have a position at home in the future. I need to venture out and earn some status for myself."

Ah Hui’s humorous words lightened the originally heavy atmosphere quite a bit.

Mr. Lin Senior was particularly pleased upon seeing his two grandsons like this, and since they decided this way, they went with their plan and let Ah Hui step down.

This matter was handled quickly; it was settled today, and the next day Brother submitted his resignation report, which was approved by the third day.

The Wang Family thought Lin Yinghui resigned out of fear of being exposed, secretly celebrating for a while, but the day after celebrating, someone suddenly arrived from above, found out their son was guilty of embezzlement and bribery, and he was directly arrested.

Such a thing meant he was going to prison. Lin Wan knew that behind this, Grandpa and Uncle certainly did something. There would definitely be bigger moves later. This could be considered a small warning to the Wang Family.

Brother was idle at home, acting as Sister-in-law’s driver every day. Now, as the hot spring project needed development, the couple started handling these matters, needing to find a reliable construction team. Something that could undoubtedly fall to Ying Han.

Han Yi didn’t return on time because Old Mrs. Mei didn’t pull through, and Han Yi gave him a call the night before she passed away.

When she passed away, except for Mei Langchi, others were present.

Old Mrs. Mei usually favored Mei Langchi the most; unexpectedly, in her last moments, the grandson she loved most was not by her side. Furthermore, he didn’t make it back even on the day of her burial, only arriving on the way to it.

Of course, it counted as sending Old Mrs. Mei on her final journey.

Mei Langchi now ran off to a foreign city, not returning home all year, and at home Mei Shuping and Xie Lingzhi couldn’t persuade him to stay.

Now the home was becoming increasingly cold and quiet; with the passing of Old Mrs. Mei, it’s just the couple left, and with the son not around, Xie Lingzhi always felt it was too quiet.

Thinking back, when Hua Hua was still around, it was lively.

"Xiao Yi, don’t do anything outrageous like him. Such matters aren’t feasible." The day after the funeral ended, Mei Lang Jun saw Han Yi sitting in a car waiting at the inevitable route Mei Langchi would take.

With a glance, Mei Lang Jun understood what was going on; Han Yi was looking to repay tit for tat.

"Hmph, am I that foolish to do it myself?" Han Yi sat in the car with arms crossed, watching as Mei Lang Jun frowned and entered the vehicle.

"Then what are you doing?"

"Nothing much, just trying to give him a sense of crisis."

"Eh, you scared me. I thought you hadn’t let go of the last incident and wanted to hit him again." Mei Lang Jun sighed in relief, casting him a sidelong look.

"I haven’t let it go, and I’ve remembered it; it needs repaying eventually, doesn’t it? See, do I need to hit him?" Han Yi raised his chin, pointing towards the direction of Mei Langchi’s approaching car. A large truck was seen swerving side to side; it wasn’t clear if the driver was drunk or sleepy.

Mei Lang Jun, upon seeing it, widened his eyes, and was about to get out of the car to shout but it was already too late; the truck directly rear-ended Mei Langchi’s car.

As a result, Mei Langchi with his car tumbled over, looking just like when they had the accident last time. Of course, last time Han Yi was luckier, only getting trapped in the seat.

This time, Mei Langchi had a metal rod directly pierce his calf. When he was sent to the hospital, it was already an hour later, and the surgery lasted over four hours. The final outcome the doctor provided was not ideal, which scared Xie Lingzhi badly, causing several rounds of high blood pressure.

If she had known her son would end up like this, she wouldn’t have let him return for anything.

Xie Lingzhi regretted deeply, but it was already too late; what needed to happen, had happened.

The doctor said that Mei Langchi’s calf would likely be disabled from now on. This brought Mei Shuping to melancholy overnight. What happened to their family, why were they so unlucky; misfortune continued to descend upon their family.

Mei Shuping sometimes indeed believed his wife, who said it was the result of the wrongdoing Mr. Lin Senior did early on now coming back to haunt their family. Since they were the eldest, the bad things only happened to them.

However, such unreliable thoughts were just fleeting ideas for Mei Shuping. His son had experienced such a thing, they were helpless. Becoming like this, it would be hard to find a wife in the future.

No matter how good their family background was, it was of no use. Nowadays, girls are very realistic.
