Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 199: Isnt This Just Fooling Around?



Chapter 199: Isnt This Just Fooling Around?

From the side, Teacher Yu observed her daughter. Of course, she would be happy if Mei Fang could become her son-in-law. After all, he was a child she had watched grow up from a young age. The two kids knew each other inside out, and he would absolutely never mistreat Xia Yuan, while also being able to bring her happiness.

Yuan Yuan definitely likes Ah Fang.

But does Ah Fang like Yuan Yuan?

Based on the current situation, it seems that he does.

But there’s also Youxi… I don’t know how they plan to face it when the time comes.

Oh well, I guess it’s better for parents to just go with the flow.

After returning home from lunch at Xia Yuan’s house, Mei Fang was immediately scolded by his mother, as she was making dumplings with Mei Ya in the kitchen.

“Are you a child of the Xia family or our Mei family? You’re never at home. What kind of behavior is that? Where have you seen someone like you, always wandering around?”

Mei Ya raised her head and retorted, “When Sister Yuan Yuan marries Brother, won’t he stop wandering around then?”

“Smart mouth! It’s not certain they’ll end up together.”

Xiang Xiaoxia tapped her daughter’s head and continued rolling the dumpling wrappers while complaining, “Really, there’s not a single reliable man in this family. Can’t even find someone to buy a bottle of vinegar.”

Mei Fang scratched his head and looked around, “Where’s Dad?”

“He’s at a drinking session again, socializing. Your dad is now the director and people from all over the place come to visit him.”

“That’s how Dad’s work is… I’ll go buy vinegar now.”

“No need, Brother. Xiaoya has already bought it!” Mei Ya said proudly. “I can go shopping by myself now, it’s great.”

“Yes, you’re so great, you made your big brother save every penny to buy you a model aircraft. He lives on a tight budget in Jiangcheng and has poor living conditions, but you don’t appreciate your big brother at all and are very inconsiderate. None of you Meis ever give people a break,” Xiang Xiaoxia scolded.

The model aircraft that Mei Fang had promised to buy for Mei Ya was delivered to their home in Baizhou City a while ago. Mei Fang already explained the whole story, and Xiang Xiaoxia scolded both Mei Ya and Mei Fang for an entire evening because of it. Now she started nagging about it again. As she was getting older, Xiang Xiaoxia had become more prone to nagging.

Feeling guilty, Mei Ya didn’t dare say much and just quietly helped her mother make dumplings.

Mei Fang also sat down and joined in making dumplings, spending a harmonious time with his family.

This afternoon was a rare moment without Xia Yuan or Lin Youxi accompanying him. Mei Fang first spent some quality time with his mother and then supervised his sister’s homework.

Using Lin Youxi’s name to keep Mei Ya on task was very effective. Now, even without her sister Youxi around, Mei Ya could focus on her homework.

A little later, Mei Fang’s uncle’s family came over, taking Mei Fang and Mei Ya to perform the year-end tradition. It was already evening when they returned from tomb-sweeping and paying respects to their ancestors in the countryside.

Just as the tired Mei Fang was about to lie down after a long day, his phone rang with Lin Youxi’s special ringtone.

Why does she have to call me right after getting home…

Youxi really pays attention to traditions.

But it’s sweet, though.

He opened his phone and answered the call. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he heard Lin Youxi arguing with someone on the other end of the line. She and the other person were locked in a heated argument.

Mei Fang only caught a few sentences of their conversation, but he immediately jumped up from the bed and hurriedly put on his clothes to rush outside.

“What’s the matter with you… in such a hurry?” Xiang Xiaoxia came out of the kitchen and asked. “It’s almost dinner time, are you going to Yuan Yuan’s house or Youxi’s house for dinner?”

“Mom, please ask Dad when he’ll be back.”

Mei Fang, wearing a padded jacket, said to his mother, “Youxi’s uncle is causing trouble at their house again. Uncle Lin is not at home right now, it’s just her and Aunt Liang. I need to go and help her deal with it.”

“Then hurry up and go!” Xiang Xiaoxia said, wiping her hands. She had heard plenty about Lin Youxi’s troublesome uncle.

“Let’s go! I’ll go with you. That Youxi’s uncle is really a big troublemaker, causing problems for their family even now.”

“It’s okay, it’s not convenient with too many people and too much interference. Stay here Mom, I’m afraid it will get even noisier if you go. I’ll go alone. Just wait for Dad to come back and ask him to quickly go to Youxi’s house.”

As Mei Fang pedaled his bicycle hurriedly towards Lin Youxi’s house, he kept the call connected.

On the other end of the call, Lin Youxi’s uncle, You Zhibing, was behaving aggressively, determined to force his way into the house and take “what belonged to him.”

Mei Fang’s house was not far from Lin Youxi’s house. When Mei Fang arrived hurriedly at Lin Youxi’s house, he found the courtyard in a mess.

Lin Youxi was sitting on the stone steps, helping her stepmother, Liang Meijuan, press down on a wound, with a nervous and helpless expression on her face. Liang Meixuan had a streak of bright red blood flowing down her forehead, but she was still trying to comfort Lin Youxi.

Mei Fang quickly got off his bicycle and ran to Lin Youxi’s side without waiting for her to stand up. At this moment, sounds of rummaging and overturning boxes could still be heard from inside the house.

“Is your uncle still inside? How did Aunt Liang get injured… Are you okay, Aunt Liang? Do you need me to take you to the hospital now?”

“I’m fine… as long as Youxi is fine.” Liang Meijuan shook her head. “It’s just that Youxi’s uncle… he’s really causing a lot of trouble.”

After Mei Fang arrived, Lin Youxi immediately appeared much calmer. She explained the whole story to him in detail.

“My uncle insisted on coming today to demand the property deed so he could use it as collateral for a loan. I told him to wait for my dad to come back before discussing it, but he said it had to be done today no matter what. In the end, he forced his way into our house to search for it. I tried to stop him from entering and was about to close the door, but he got physical with me… Aunt Meijuan was injured when my uncle pushed her down while trying to protect me.”

“Why does he need the property deed? It should have your dad’s name on it. How can he get a loan without the homeowner’s consent?”

“He said he has connections and having either the land deed or the property deed in his name would be enough for the loan.”

“…Isn’t this just fooling around?”

Mei Fang took out his phone, which was still recording the call, and saved the recording before handing it to Lin Youxi.

“Keep this for now, and give me your phone.”

Lin Youxi shook her head. “You want to record evidence of my uncle trespassing, right? I’ll go with you.”

Mei Fang didn’t expect Lin Youxi to see through his thoughts so quickly. It seemed she had done a lot of research in advance.

“Of course, I support using legal means to deal with your uncle, but this could end up with him going to jail. You need to be sure about this.”

“I believe that my dad would be furious if he saw this. Even if he’s too timid to stand up against my uncle and intends to let him off the hook, I won’t let it slide this time.”

“I’m not my dad, and I’m not my mom… I won’t tolerate anyone causing trouble in our house.”

“Alright, as long as you’re determined, I’ll support you.”

With their minds made up, Lin Youxi and Mei Fang decided to call the police for help. At this moment, Xia Yuan also hurriedly arrived on her bicycle.

“Phew… I heard from Aunt Xiang on the phone and came right over… What’s going on now… Aunt Liang, your forehead——”

Xia Yuan quickly took out a tissue from her pocket and helped Liang Meijuan wipe the blood from her wound.

“It’s okay… I’m fine——”

“Yuan Yuan, you came just in time.” Mei Fang said and reminded Xia Yuan. “Could you please take Aunt Liang to the hospital or back to your house to treat the wound?”

“What about you two?” As Xia Yuan was speaking, the sound of things being smashed inside the house rang out again, startling her. “Is that… Youxi’s uncle?”

Xia Yuan naturally wanted to go with Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, but seeing her Aunt Liang still bleeding, she bit her lip and said, “Be careful, don’t get hurt yourselves. I’ll take Aunt Liang to the hospital first.”

Mei Fang nodded, “Yes, take her first. There shouldn’t be any major disputes here; we’ll wait for the police or my dad to handle this.”

We just need to take some photos…

This was a chance to deal with Lin Youxi’s uncle once and for all.

Both Lin Youxi and Mei Fang didn’t want to let this opportunity slip away.
