As soon as Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu stepped out the door, they saw Lin Weidong and Xia Guoan leading two men into their home.

Xia Yichu recognized them; they were Yu Mengxi's father and her cousin, Yu Mengquan. When they approached, Xia Yichu called out to them.

"Big Uncle"

"Uncle, Dad."

Pei Shizhou also greeted them, but he and Xia Yichu ignored the Yu family.

"What are you two doing standing at the door?"

Lin Weidong said with a puzzled look that he and Xia Guoan ran two laps and then ran into Yu's father and Yu Mengquan at the entrance of the community.

Lin Weidong wanted to pretend he didn't see them and planned to walk around them. But Yu Mengquan called him back. Yu Mengquan was very polite to him and said that he came to the Lin family to resolve the conflict between the two families and to visit Yu Mengxi.

Lin Weidong didn't want to agree and wanted to refuse, but Yu Mengquan seemed to know what he was thinking.

He immediately added that he knew everything that had happened yesterday, but he couldn't just listen to his aunt and wanted to come and hear the Lin family explain the whole story.

Lin Weidong had no choice but to agree. The Lin family hadn't done anything wrong yesterday, and it was something that needed to be discussed. Most importantly, Lin Weidong felt that Yu Mengxi's uncle's family were all quite nice.

Yu Mengquan couldn't believe that his cousin would become disrespectful to her elders and incite her mother-in-law to beat her own mother.

That's why he came today. Yu Mengquan should have come much earlier when Yu Mengxi gave birth. It was his uncle who kept telling him not to go back to Kyoto, plus his own mother hadn't been feeling well lately.

That's why it took so long, and he's only now getting back to Kyoto to see Yu Mengxi. He got off the plane last night and when he got back to his uncle's house, he saw that his aunt and her family members all had injuries on their faces.

His aunt also grabbed his hand and scolded Yu Mengxi. Because he didn't know the cause and effect, Yu Mengquan didn't comment, only saying that he would come to the Lin family today to find out.

Sure enough, he came over right after breakfast this morning. His aunt and her family wanted to come along, but he refused.

He felt that bringing them along would likely escalate the conflict. In the end, Yu Mengquan decided to only bring his uncle.

"Uncle, Aunt has been waiting for you at home for a long time. She was worried that something had happened to you. Shizhou and I were just about to go find you."

"She's just a busybody. What could possibly happen to two grown men like me and Guoan?"

Lin Weidong said this, but he was secretly overjoyed. Xia Yichu didn't expose her uncle.

"Alright, hurry up and go inside! Is your sister-in-law up yet? Tell her to come down and that her cousin is here."

Lin Weidong deliberately made sure his cousin and his brother were together. If Yu Mengxue had come today, he wouldn't have brought her into the residential area.

"Okay, I'll go up and check. My sister-in-law was beaten yesterday, and my brother said she cried all night."

As Xia Yichu spoke, she kept her eyes fixed on Yu's father until he lowered his head. Only then did Xia Yichu feel satisfied and lead Shi Zhou home.

Yu Mengquan's face darkened as he watched this scene. It wasn't about Xia Yichu, but rather his uncle's guilty look.

Why didn't my uncle and aunt mention that Xiaoxi was beaten, and who beat him? It seems a lot has happened between Xiaoxi and his family, and they haven't been telling him the truth. Luckily, he insisted on coming to the Lin family. With these questions in mind, Yu Mengquan followed Lin Weidong and the others home.

"Oh, you didn't have enough of a fight yesterday, and you still dare to come knocking on our door today. Let me tell you, we're not afraid. The police have already said that your Yu family was in the wrong first."

Lin's mother's face turned ugly when she saw the Yu family. The Yu family was going on and on; they were trying to ruin Yu Mengxi.

"Aunt Lin, you've misunderstood. My uncle and I came today to see Xiaoxi. Also, regarding what happened yesterday, let's have a good talk between the two families."

Yu Mengquan came with sincerity, carrying a large amount of tonics. The Lin family didn't offer them seats, so he and his father stood awkwardly with the gifts.

"There's nothing to talk about. He Meiling even harassed my pregnant wife. And Mengxi, she's still in her postpartum period, and she caused a scene at the hospital, resulting in Mengxi having severe postpartum hemorrhage. Yesterday, she even came to our house to beat her up. Is this something a biological mother would do?"

Go back and tell He Meiling that from now on, Mengxi has nothing to do with your Yu family. If your Yu family doesn't care about her, our Lin family will.

Yu Mengquan hadn't expected Lin's mother to be so angry. He hadn't heard his uncle and the others mention Xiaoxi's massive hemorrhage. When he called his uncle, he kept saying that Xiaoxi was fine.

"Uncle, what happened? You said Xiaoxi was fine, how could she be bleeding so badly?"

Moreover, judging from what Lin's mother said, this matter is inextricably linked to his uncle and his wife.

"Mengquan, I'll explain this to you when we get back."

"He was too ashamed to say it himself, so he asked me to tell you. The day Mengxi gave birth..."

Lin's mother told Yu Mengquan everything the Yu family had done to Yu Mengxi, and the more Yu Mengquan listened, the deeper his brows furrowed.

Half an hour later, Lin's mother finished explaining, and Xia Guoan immediately poured her a glass of water. Lin Weidong glared at him; he wasn't being smart when he should have been.

"Sister-in-law, have some water."

"Okay."

It was only while Lin's mother was drinking water that Yu Mengquan recovered. He could understand to some extent why his aunt had done so many outrageous things, but why did his uncle let her run wild without stopping her? This was what Yu Mengquan couldn't understand the most.

"Uncle, why did you do this?"

"Mengquan, we have our reasons; we had no other choice but to do this."

"I'd like to know what's troubling you all, Uncle? You even want to take back Xiaoxi's house and dowry."

Thinking about how much Yu Mengxi had suffered, Yu Mengquan was extremely angry. Moreover, this suffering wasn't inflicted by anyone else, but by her own biological parents.

"this……"

Yu's father was speechless. It was all that unfilial son's fault that he was in such a dilemma.

Yu Mengxi and Xia Yichu listened at the stairwell for almost half an hour before Yu Mengxi finally couldn't help but come down.

"Brother, it's Yu Mengxue. He mortgaged the family house to the bank and used all the money from the mortgage to buy funds."

He also took my house and dowry money to buy funds, and as far as I know, he lost it all.

My mom came to our house yesterday, probably for the same reason. But when she saw Xiao Chu, she remembered how Xiao Chu had hit her at the hospital and couldn't swallow her anger, so she started hitting her.

Lin's mother didn't mention Yu Mengxue's matter; she wanted to wait for Yu Mengxi to tell her herself.

"You're all so foolish, Uncle and Aunt are both so foolish, and you're just going along with it. Why should Xiaoxi have to bear the consequences of Yu Mengxue's mistakes?"

Yu Xiquan felt that his uncle's personality had changed a lot after he was sick and had surgery. He couldn't even make decisions about family matters, letting Yu Mengxue and his wife and aunt do whatever they wanted.

"Mengquan, Mengxue has realized his mistake. He went astray because he lost money in business. Don't worry, he promised me that as long as he makes money, he will help Xiaoxi buy the house back and make up for her dowry."

Mr. Yu never expected that his son would take the money and then use it to buy funds, even though his son had promised them that two days ago.

He just needs to borrow money from Lin Xingyuan, pay back the bank, and get the house back. He promises to work hard and try to repay his daughter.

Unfortunately, his wife, that fool, got into a fight with her in-laws when she came to borrow money. The Yu family father and son were furious with her and wanted to call her over that very night to apologize to the Lin family, but she and the He family refused.

With Yu Mengquan returning home, the Yu family father and son couldn't pressure them. Yu Mengxue set his sights on Yu Mengquan because he had always been afraid of his cousin Yu Mengquan since childhood.

They urged Mr. Yu to ask for money, but he neither agreed nor refused.
