C26 It Can't be Your Own Flesh and Blood Can It?

Madame Rong was just about to refuse when she heard Mei Laoer speak again.

"Also, Huzi of the Third Branch is already old enough to go to school. Our mother said not to let Mei Family dig in the earth for several lifetimes, so she wanted me to find a way to send Huzi to school. I've thought about it, once you two earn money, just hand it over to me, and I'll help Huzi cultivate a top scholar for us old Mei Family. "

Saying that, Mei Laoer smoked a mouthful of water with a serious face, as if he was the one who needed the money. With a troubled face, he made Mei Jing laugh out of anger!

Who was the real biological one? What did Huzi from the Third Branch have to do with the Second Branch? Especially since Madame Rong had left Mei Laoer, she no longer had any relationship with him. Was Mei Laoer really that stupid to say such shameless words?

"Father, you only know how to smoke and gamble all your life. Do you want to nurture a top scholar for agriculture or a top scholar for gambling?" Mei Jing mocked. Her words were like pieces of knives stabbing Mei Laoer's face, stinging and painful.

"Money loser, what are you saying!?" Do you know that if our Mei Family gives out a top scholar, it would be beneficial to you! Huzi is your younger brother. With a top scholar younger brother, it will be easier for you to get married in the future! " Mei Laoer said with a serious expression, as if there was a reason for his and Madame Guan's greed.

In their hearts, so what if Madame Rong had broken off, she would still contribute to Mei Family!

Staring at Mei Laoer's furious look, Mei Jing didn't say anything and just pulled Madame Rong around Mei Laoer's room. Luckily, she had a big lock that would lock the door once she entered the room.

Mei Laoer saw Mei Jing ignored him like a fart. He was so angry that he raised the pipe and threw it at Mei Jing, but he forgot that there was water in the pipe. When he lifted it up, the water poured onto him, freezing him.

Therefore, Mei Laoer used psychological tactics. Anyways, Mei Jing was a silly girl before, so it should be easy to fool her now. He said, "You are my daughter, how can father harm you? If your cousin is able to pass the exam, our family's days will be much easier. The reason why Father shouldered the burden of Huzi's school was so that you could have a shield in the future. "Little girl, after your mother gave birth to you, she was like a chicken that couldn't bear to lay an egg, so I had no choice but to place my hope on your younger cousin!"

It wasn't that he spoke like that, but that Mei Jing hated him even more.

Was it Madame Rong's fault that she couldn't conceive a second child? Maybe Mei Laoer is sick!

Immediately, Mei Jing frowned and retorted, "Dad, even if Huzi's name got on the test, it will still be a matter of a few years later. Do I have to wait until he becomes an old grandaunt in his twenties before he marries? You and Grandma want a scholar to come out, and I'm very supportive of that. However, the matter of my dowry is also very pressing, why don't you give me some silver to buy it first, Father? "

Humph! She wouldn't give it to him! Why did he need to post the hard-earned money to Madame Guan and Third Branch? And there was Huzi. Although she didn't understand him, but after seeing him twice last time, she knew that he was a naughty and hard to educate. That rude brat wanted her to pay for the school? Pui! Dream on!

If you ask for money, you might as well ask Mei Jing for a set of dowry. "Mei Laoer's expression changed as he scolded," How dare you ask me for money for a dowry? At that time, Lin Laizi wanted to marry you, and he even allowed you to marry without dowry. Too late! If you want to be a jinx and not let our Mei Family shine in the eyes of our ancestors, then speak frankly.

"Let me tell you, I've already investigated this clearly. Earlier on, you sold a recipe and got a lot of silver. Then, you sold the jam at the Sanqing temple for a lot of money! Dad doesn't need too much, just five taels of silver. That should be enough, right? "Don't forget that I'm your father!" Mei Laoer said.

He thought about it carefully. Mei Jing, this little bitch, did not die, so she must have had a great fortune.

Every month after that, he would come by to ask for money. With his accumulation of money, he might even be able to build a new house.

Hehe, raising a daughter is the right choice!

Mei Laoer thought.

Mei Jing could not stop the sneer on her face.

Five taels of silver?

After careful calculation, she found that the recipe for the Jufu Tavern and Egg-Fried Rice had earned five hundred gold coins.

She had only earned two taels of silver from selling the jam at the Sanqing Temple Gathering. Adding to the one tael Soong Goudan had given her when he bought the rabbit, all she had left was three taels and two hundred taels of silver for the materials used to make the jam.

This Mei Laoer really knows how to ask for 5 taels of silver straight away. Did he really think that she could make jam without needing any materials? Of all the wild fruits and sugar required for the jam, which one didn't need money? Especially since sugar was still a precious commodity during this time of year, its price was rising rapidly like a flood!

"Father? "Heh, what a great father …" Mei Jing's voice was extremely light, as light as a feather.

Mei Laoer also realized that his words were harsh. In order to prevent Mei Jing from going back on his words, he quickly calmed the anger on his face and said, "Of course it's my biological father. Otherwise, would I consider so much with you? It's not like you don't know what's going on at home... Without rice to cook, and with Huzi going to school, which one of them didn't have to spend money? As a daughter, since your mother has the ability to make money, what can you do about helping your cousin? In the end, we're all family. "

Mei Jing thought for a while and said, "Dad, I have good reason to doubt if Third Uncle's family's Huzi is your flesh and blood. Why do you treat other family's children better than yours?"

"Jing!" Madame Rong panicked. You can eat whatever you want to say and not say whatever you want!

If these words were said without any evidence, he would inevitably get slapped.

But who knew that when Mei Laoer heard this sentence, he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he hastily tilted his head as if to hide his embarrassment. This almost made Mei Jing burst out laughing. This Mei Laoer and Third Aunt … Could it be …

Seeing Mei Laoer's shy and nervous look, Madame Rong's heart fell to the bottom of the valley. For so many years, Mei Laoer had been a filial person who was close to the Third Branch, and he adored Huzi of the Third Branch even more. She had not thought too much about it before, but after what Mei Jing said today, the grievance caused by betrayal flooded Madame Rong's heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

"You little slut, what are you blabbering about? If you continue blabbering like this, I'll pull your mouth apart! Just give me a word, will you take five taels of silver or not! If you do not take it, don't blame me for not remembering our fatherly love! "
