He started by killing his abusive father, and from then on, he embarked on the road to wealth.

Why did they break up in Chapter 81?

By the dim light of the fire, Meng Fuqing opened her eyes a crack and saw a small figure sneaking towards where her family kept their pots and pans.

To avoid falling asleep, the night watchmen all went to the corner outside the fence to warm themselves by the fire under their blankets, and no one noticed the little thief.

Meng Fuqing threw off the covers and sat up, slowly walking towards the thief's retreating figure.

She walked without making a sound, so the thief, who was frantically rummaging through something, didn't notice her at all.

Meng Fuqing never expected that after saying the brat would be taught a lesson sooner or later during the day, the brat would actually show up right under her nose that night.

She always treated adults and children equally, and kicked them straight away.

Cui Guangzong was thrown into the air, crashed into the wall, and fell to the ground.

"Waaaaaahh ...

The child's shrill cry suddenly rang out in the empty cave, like a demonic sound piercing the ears, startling everyone awake. They thought that refugees had attacked, and got up to grab their weapons.

The watchman hurriedly lit a torch to illuminate the cave, and only then could everyone see who was crying.

Startled awake, Fan Yumei instinctively reached for her son beside her, only to find nothing. The child's cries were all too familiar, so she looked up.

When I saw it, I almost went crazy.

"Guangzong! My precious baby!"

Fan Yumei and her husband rushed to their son's side, anxious to know where he was injured. Cui's father also hurried over.

Dan Qiyu didn't realize what was happening for a moment, and asked Meng Fuqing, "Qingqing, what's wrong?"

"We caught a petty thief who was trying to steal our things."

Mr. Cui glared at Meng Fuqing, his eyes so dark they seemed to want to tear him apart. "My grandson never steals. Aren't you ashamed to slander a child?!"

Shan Qiyu only needed to glance at it to realize that his things were not placed correctly.

She immediately stood up and said, "Your grandson came to my house in the middle of the night, and someone even touched my pot. What else could he be but a thief?"

"Perhaps they bumped into each other while I was out relieving myself. Did your daughter try to kill my grandson by using such force?"

"How strange. It's one thing to go out by yourself, but to end up here at my house—" Meng Fuqing was too lazy to say anything more, and turned to ask the village chief who was walking over, "Grandpa Village Chief, what do you think about kicking this family out?"

"no!"

Before Meng Bochang could speak, Cui Miao'er jumped out, "That's my family's home. If you kick them out, how will they survive?"

"Then you can get out of here too," Meng Fuqing said coldly.

"you--"

Cui Miao'er was about to say something more when Ji Dalang held her down tightly, like a pig being slaughtered during the New Year. "Shut up!"

Yao Shanyun slapped her across the face, saying, "Say one more word and I'll have Dalang divorce you! That will satisfy your desire to serve your family!"

She's been really annoyed by her daughter-in-law lately.

Back in the village, Cui Miao'er was afraid of her mother-in-law, so she only dared to keep her little thoughts to herself. Even if she spoke them out, her mother-in-law would scold her and then let it go.

Now, perhaps because she has her maternal family backing her up, she seems to have endless gossip with her sister-in-law and is even taking things out of the house.

At first, she didn't notice, but by the time she did, only a small portion of the sack of black flour remained. She was so angry that she was furious and, for the first time, considered not having this daughter-in-law.

Cui Miao'er was so frightened by her mother-in-law's words that she dared not utter another sound.

The Cui family was shocked by Meng Fuqing's words. Cui's father looked at Meng Bochang in disbelief: "Village Chief Meng, are you just going to let a little girl like her cause trouble here?"

"Nonsense?"

Xie Jin's hoarse voice, tinged with weariness and annoyance, rang out, "If she were to cause trouble, your whole family would have been killed by the Hu people, burned to death by wildfires, or bitten to death by wild wolves long ago. If Village Chief Meng can't handle it, it wouldn't be difficult for me to take four more people away besides Doctor Zheng."

Xie Jin felt that Meng Fuqing was unlucky, and he didn't know why someone always seemed to be causing her trouble.

Fortunately, compared to before, her current situation allows her to do whatever she wants openly and honestly.

But he had had enough of the farce and now just wanted to add fuel to the fire.

“We, the Niu family, were brought by Miss Meng. She is also the eldest brother of my second brother. We must follow Miss Meng!” Niu Da also shouted.

Niu Er, with his honest and straightforward manner, chimed in, "Boss, my family, my brothers, and I are sticking with you for life!"

Tiger was getting anxious. He couldn't understand why they were suddenly breaking up.

However, that didn't stop him from taking sides. "Village Chief, we're all surnamed Meng. We can't let the things those Cui people did drag us down with them!"

His words immediately drew agreement from the unsuspecting villagers of Mengjia Village.

Needless to say, for the other families with different surnames, breaking up would be a dead end in the current situation.

At this point, the Cui family finally opened their eyes and saw the situation clearly.

This is not the village where they used to live. The Cui family is now all alone, and their only daughter, whom they could rely on, has become someone else's wife.

If Meng Fuqing were here, he could turn black into white and no one would question it.

A belated sense of fear swept over them at that moment, as if the boundless darkness outside the cave entrance behind them could swallow their entire family whole at any moment.

At that moment, Mr. Cui slowly bent his knees and knelt down, saying, "Eldest son, eldest son's wife, apologize to Miss Meng!"

While Fan Yumei was still in shock, her husband Cui Dazhu pulled her to kneel down. She also heard Cui Dazhu call his two daughters over, "Quickly, kowtow to Miss Meng and beg her to forgive us!"

Cui Dazhu knew that his two daughters looked pitiful and wanted to use them to gain sympathy.

The two little girls were dressed in thin clothes and shivered in the cold in the middle of the night. Because they were so thin, their eyes were particularly large on their small faces.

They shrank back, their faces pleading as they bent their knees, but instead of kneeling on the cold ground, they were helped up.

Meng Fuqing walked up to the couple and kicked Cui Dazhu to the ground. Before he could struggle to get up, she stepped on the man's face.

"Why do you have your two daughters kowtow to me? Why don't you, the father, kowtow in place of your son? I might be happier that way."

Cui Dazhu knew perfectly well that he had to rely on this group of people, so he wisely lowered his voice and said, "I'll kowtow, I'll kowtow!"

Meng Fuqing released her foot, and amidst the sound of kowtowing echoing from inside the cave, she said, "From now on, don't let me see you bullying your two daughters again. As long as they are doing well, you can stay. If they are not doing well, I can let them stay, but you can get out. Do you understand?"

The couple could only nod and say "yes" repeatedly.

Overcome with drowsiness, Meng Fuqing turned to go back to sleep. As she passed by Cui's father, she didn't forget to bow her head and ask, "Old man, did you understand?"

Mr. Cui, who had valued his reputation his entire life, lost it all tonight. His face was ashen, and he murmured, "I understand."

Meng Fuqing went back to sleep with peace of mind.

Meng Bochang, who hadn't uttered a single word from beginning to end: ...

He casually asked how the child was, and after learning that the injury wasn't serious, he sent the Cui family to bed and went back to his own home with a heavy heart.

Seeing his worried expression, Madam Meng couldn't help but whisper in support of Meng Fuqing: "The Cui family is truly despicable. Look at what their two girls have become..."

She mumbled something for a while, but didn't get a reply from her husband. She looked over curiously and saw him sigh.

"What's the Cui family compared to me? I'm just worried about what will happen if Qing'er and Young Master Xie cause a huge mess."

After saying that, he threw off the covers and went to sleep.
