As she spoke, Meng Han felt increasingly uncomfortable.
She took a deep breath, "Actually, when Eldest Uncle and Cousin first came back, I didn't like them either, I even resisted them a lot. Because we already had an uncle leeching off our family, I didn't want another one."
"My mother kept saying in our ears that they were here to divide the inheritance and to kick us out. But later, Eldest Uncle left, and Cousin said he was going to take the imperial examinations. I felt kind of empty inside. They never intended to rely on my father, unlike Uncle. I began to wish Eldest Uncle would stay; maybe then, someone could restrain my mother, and Uncle wouldn't always come around pretending to be poor."
But Eldest Uncle still left. As soon as Eldest Aunt was laid to rest, they couldn't wait to leave the Meng family.
