Seeing their still resentful expressions, Meng Yajun sneered, "If you want your future days to be worse, just go ahead and make a fuss.
To be honest, I’m really disappointed in you now. I always thought you were ordinary farmers, loving to take small advantages, with a few minor faults, but not major criminals. But now, seeing what you’ve done since my aunt died...you..."
Meng Yajun didn’t continue.
He knew he had no right to blame them, as he hadn’t treated Meng Chuyue well in the past either.
Although he hadn’t deliberately made things difficult for her, he had treated her like a servant in the house just like everyone else, always ordering her around without a hint of kindness.
At that time, he did so partly out of a desire for ease and going along with the majority, and also because he believed what the other family members said, thinking that Meng Wanhua also detested Meng Chuyue...
Although he hadn’t done anything particularly reprehensible to Meng Chuyue, his family had hurt her deeply, and Meng Yajun knew that trying to get Meng Chuyue’s help through backdoor means was purely a fantasy.
He went back to his bedroom and lay on the bed thinking silently: "I’ll make an appointment for the third tutoring session tomorrow. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll schedule the fourth, fifth, and sixth sessions..."
In any case, he was determined to get into university and then move out, to escape this loathsome home.
Because of what Meng Yajun said, Meng Jinhua and Fu Hongfang didn’t trouble Meng Chuyue. Instead, they each called Meng Lixing and Meng Yinhua for advice.
Both were stunned upon hearing the matter.
They had no ideas, but both said they would rush to Meng Jinhua’s home immediately to discuss things together.
By then, Erhu had already returned from the Lin family.
He told Meng Chuyue, "Lin Fangwei is doing quite well now. According to her whole family, she’s just like any normal person."
"That’s strange," said Meng Chuyue, puzzled. After a moment, she added, "Go check on Meng Lingmei and Wang Zhipeng."
During this period, Erhu regularly visited Meng Lingmei, then reported back to Meng Chuyue about her and Wang Zhipeng.
According to Erhu, under Wang Zhipeng’s deliberate seduction, Meng Lingmei had fallen head over heels in love with him.
Then, because of Meng Lingmei’s cooking skills and docility, Wang Zhipeng seemed to have developed feelings for her too, and he had even bought a ring and proposed recently.
Meng Lingmei agreed, and they were just waiting for the National Day holiday to get married.
Heh, it’s like the beginning of a sad love story.
Having eaten his fill in the space, Erhu immediately went to check on Meng Lingmei and Wang Zhipeng’s place and noticed nothing unusual.
Had the money been found or stolen?
Meng Chuyue speculated wildly for a while but couldn’t come up with a satisfactory answer, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
To be honest, this has nothing to do with her, right?
Regarding the investigation into Meng Jingfen... it was bad.
Although she really wasn’t a human trafficker, the police found no other evidence to suggest she was, but the eighty thousand yuan of unexplained origin was real.
The police carried out their duties with extreme diligence and caution.
They not only thoroughly investigated Meng Wanhua’s financial situation but also checked Meng Jinhua, Meng Lixing, Meng Qinghua, and Meng Yinhua’s.
Fortunately, they didn’t check Meng Chuyue’s finances, otherwise, it would have caused a major ruckus.
Meng Chuyue’s financial situation had nothing to do with this case; no need to investigate.
The investigation showed.
Meng Jingfen had over seventy thousand yuan of unexplained origin.
In the interrogation room that day, after the police showed the investigation results to Meng Jingfen, they asked her, "Now, you just need to explain the origin of this seventy thousand yuan. If the source is clear, your suspicion of human trafficking can be preliminarily cleared, and you can be released on bail.
If you can’t explain it, we will have to continue the detention for further examination."
Meng Jingfen was on the verge of tears.
