Chapter 19 Meng Linlang's Suspicion and Confession
The aroma of rabbit meat slowly roasted over a low flame is very tempting, especially since Meng Fuqing is used to eating outdoors and has pretty good cooking skills.
While Meng Ranran was engrossed in eating meat, she was thinking how wonderful it would be to be able to eat meat every day in the future. If that wasn't possible, she would be happy to eat it once a year, even if it made her stomach hurt like she did last night.
Meng Ali, who is always chattering away, had his mouth stuffed full of meat and couldn't speak. Even so, he still kept giving his older sister a thumbs up.
While the family was enjoying their meal, Meng Linlang's family was also eating.
Meng Linlang's family used to eat three meals a day, but later, due to drought, they switched to eating two meals a day.
When Meng Cheng'an was young, he never disobeyed his parents, except for one time when he insisted on marrying the woman he loved—Yuan Qianniang.
As it turned out, his judgment was correct. Yuan Qianniang was very hardworking and capable. She raised many chickens and ducks in the large courtyard, but it did not look dirty. The inside and outside were kept very neat and tidy, and it looked very comfortable.
Meng Linlang ate her meal listlessly, in a bad mood. Even her favorite steamed egg custard didn't taste good to her.
Why do her dreams become inaccurate whenever she encounters her uncle's family?
Ever since she learned that her dreams would come true, she would intervene in matters that were detrimental to her family, and she always succeeded. However, she never got involved in her uncle's family's affairs, because she was worried that if she did, she would not be able to obtain the Spirit Spring Space.
The truth is that even though she did nothing, the changes over there still exceeded her expectations.
This morning she thought that Shan Qiyu and Sun Dacheng's affair would be completely exposed, but she was greatly disappointed.
Where exactly did things go wrong? Meng Linlang wondered to herself.
"What's wrong, Linlang? The porridge will get cold if you don't eat it soon," Yuan Qianniang asked.
The porridge in Meng Linlang's bowl was almost mashed into a paste.
"You were clamoring to go see the excitement first thing in the morning, why are you not happy about it now?" Meng Chengan laughed.
"No." Meng Linlang realized what was happening and quickly drank her porridge. After taking a big gulp, she couldn't help but sit up straight and ask, "Father, Mother, do you think Aunt and Uncle Dacheng are really together?"
The eldest brother, Meng Qian, chuckled and said, "Little sister, why are you so concerned about that family's affairs? Is it really true that our two families have separated? What does it have to do with us?"
“Your older brother is right, let’s eat quickly,” Yuan Qian’s mother said.
Meng Linlang once again had the idea of telling her family about what happened in her dream. This feeling of being the only one who knew the truth but not being able to tell outsiders was both good and bad.
There is a saying that "heavenly secrets should not be revealed".
What else could a dream about future events be but a divine revelation? She worried that speaking out rashly might bring trouble to her family, so she always cautiously reminded them or tried to change bad things on her own.
But it's not good to keep quiet about it forever; it's better to talk about the war sooner rather than later and make preparations accordingly.
Or, how about giving it a try?
Thinking this, Meng Linlang spoke up, drawing out her words in a coquettish tone: "Mother~ It's not that I'm talking about Auntie behind her back, it's just... I had a dream last night, I dreamt that Auntie and Uncle Dacheng were caught red-handed when they were having an affair, so this morning when I heard what happened at Auntie's house, I made a fuss about going to see it. I thought what I dreamt was real."
Yuan Qianniang hadn't expected this. She poked Meng Linlang's forehead and said with a wry smile, "What are you thinking about all day long? How can you take your dreams seriously?"
Thinking about what happened this morning, Meng Cheng'an also felt a little uncomfortable. "Your mother is right. You can't say these things to outsiders. It's not easy for your aunt to raise three children."
He had grievances against his elder brother, but not against his sister-in-law, who had helped him a lot before he got married.
Meng Linlang touched her forehead, speechless for a long time. Her dream couldn't be wrong!
My parents are still too soft-hearted.
With a determined look, Meng Linlang sat up straight and said seriously, "Father, Mother, the dreams I had were all real."
She took Yuan Qianniang's hand and said, "Mother, do you remember when Second Grandma sprained her ankle while digging for wild vegetables a couple of days ago? I went with her and helped her so that she only sprained her ankle. It was because I dreamed that Second Grandma broke her leg and had to lie in bed for a long time."
Think about it, I've never dug for wild vegetables since autumn began. If it weren't for that dream, I wouldn't have followed Second Grandmother.
Except for the three-year-old little brother, Hu Tou, who couldn't understand, everyone else put down their chopsticks, their faces filled with surprise and uncertainty. The family looked at each other, and for a moment no one dared to speak.
Seeing this, Meng Linlang couldn't help but feel secretly pleased with herself. Heaven knows how hard it was for her to keep quiet about it from her family.
After a long silence, Meng Cheng'an finally asked, "Have you dreamed about it many times?"
"Yes, Mom and Dad should remember. More than a month ago, I couldn't wake up every day, and Mom even scolded me. I felt so uncomfortable," Meng Linlang said, pouting aggrievedly.
Now Meng Cheng'an and Yuan Qianniang were starting to believe it. During that time, their daughter was unsteady on her feet, and Yuan Qianniang even slept with her for a few days. She saw her daughter sleeping like a little pig every night, and the next day she still looked like she hadn't woken up.
Before the couple could speak, their sons, who had already realized what was happening, reacted even more strongly, leaning forward and asking, "Little sister, did you dream about what your older brother will do in the future?"
"Little sister, is your second brother dashing and handsome in your dreams?"
……
Meng Linlang waved her hand dismissively, and said jokingly, "You're all quite successful, alright? I haven't even dreamt about you yet!"
She wasn't making this up; in her dream, her brothers took different paths, but without exception, they all had noble statuses.
She only mentioned things that had already happened, and she wanted to see if it would cause any trouble before discussing the future.
Upon hearing this, the brothers all looked hurt, and the room was filled with laughter and chatter.
After laughing and joking around, the couple inappropriately thought about Shan Qiyu and Sun Dacheng's affair. Could it really be true?
The two men were in mixed feelings. Between their sister-in-law and their daughter, they naturally trusted their daughter.
Meng Cheng'an thought about it more deeply. Before the two families separated, his brother didn't have the habit of hitting people. After the separation, he met some shady characters and started to drink heavily, and his temper became increasingly bad.
Could it be that his brother discovered his sister-in-law's affair with another man, which is why he hit her? Was he just drinking to drown his sorrows?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it wasn't impossible.
Deeply influenced by his family, Meng Cheng'an was dissatisfied with his parents' favoritism, but he still respected reading and scholars. He always believed that literate people couldn't be all that bad, especially since he was his own brother.
Suppressing her suspicions and disgust for the unfaithful woman, Meng Cheng'an resolved to cut off all contact with her sister-in-law's family from now on.
With a serious face, he told his family not to tell anyone. After receiving the children's assurances, the couple even called Meng Linlang into the house to talk alone. When they came out again, the couple had undisguised smiles on their faces.
They said that when their daughter was born, the sky was filled with rosy clouds, so she must be a blessed person. They never expected that she would be so blessed by God!
