Chapter 2427: Chapter 18: Meng Qi’s Wife

The Meng family escort agency started expanding five years ago. After they received the imperial inscribed plaque that year, the number of escorts in the Meng family shot up in a straight line.

Uncle Meng and Meng Pei discussed taking advantage of this opportunity to grow the escort agency bigger, and the Meng family escort agency in Chenggu County soon became the number one in the county town.

But the very next year, news came back that Meng Yunzheng had passed the exam as the top scorer and achieved first place in all six sections, and even more people came to the Meng family escort agency. Although after Meng Yunzheng resigned from office and returned home, some people still left, it was precisely because of this that the escorts who stayed were all the more precious, and were the elite.

That year, after Uncle Meng attended Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu’s wedding, he returned to Changjin Prefecture with Meng Pei and quickly opened a branch in the prefecture.

Originally, Uncle Meng had wanted Meng Pei to manage it, but Meng Pei refused.

His son would be settling down in Dongan Province in the future, so naturally he wouldn’t stay over here.

Thus the heavy responsibility of establishing the branch fell onto Meng Qi’s shoulders.

Meng Qi was young and lacked experience, and he simply couldn’t keep those old hand escorts in line.

This was the Meng family’s escort agency, and a large part of it was also Meng Pei’s hard work. So he didn’t rush back, and stayed in the prefecture to help Meng Qi gradually gain a firm foothold.

He stayed for over half a year and only returned to Dongan Province at the end of the year. Back when Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu came back from the southwest, Meng Pei had only returned half a month earlier than them.

Therefore, now Meng Qi and his younger sister Meng Han are both in the prefecture. Uncle Meng and Ms. Tao are still in Chenggu County; originally, Ms. Tao had been in the prefecture helping Meng Qi look after the child.

It’s just that Ms. Tao really couldn’t get along with Meng Qi’s wife. Meng Qi’s wife, Ms. He, is someone who very much likes going out on escort runs together with Meng Qi. Meng Qi actually shares the same ideals with her, and it’s a wonderful experience for husband and wife to travel together.

And that experience came to a halt when she got pregnant and gave birth. freⅇ

But it was only during that period that she didn’t go out; once the child was six months old, she started going out with Meng Qi again, leaving the child to Ms. Tao and the wet nurse.

As Meng Qi’s mother, even though Ms. Tao had already changed her old temperament, she was still a traditional woman. She could accept Ms. He going everywhere with her husband before having children; harmony between husband and wife was naturally a good thing.

But she couldn’t accept that after becoming the child’s mother, Ms. He could leave a six?month?old baby at home and still run around outside.

What was she going out to do? They didn’t need her for the escort runs; she was just tagging along for fun. Not taking care of the child, not doing any proper work, and even becoming a burden to her son when he was on escort duty.

Meng Qi was caught in the middle, his head pounding. Though he didn’t completely agree with his mother, he also felt his wife’s way of doing things was inappropriate.

The child belonged to the two of them; either he took care of the child or his wife did. There was no reason to dump everything on Ms. Tao. He had to go on escort runs to earn money to support the family, so the child could only be entrusted to Ms. He.

As for Ms. He, she naturally had her own reasoning. Before the wedding she had already said that in the future she wanted to roam across the land, to see the wide world outside, and she hoped Meng Qi wouldn’t restrain her. Meng Qi had agreed; now that he couldn’t live up to that, what kind of man was he?

The Meng family had once reached a very stiff deadlock over this, and Meng Han wrote to Shu Yu to pour out her troubles.

Shu Yu really wasn’t in a position to get involved in these matters; in the end, it was Meng Pei, simply unable to bear watching any longer, who said to Uncle Meng, "Then have them both make concessions. Meng Qi’s wife will stay home to look after the child for another two years. Once the child is older and Meng Qi has more energy, let the three of them go out together as a family."
