Chapter 812 - 812 812 Thorough Understanding (22)
Chapter 812: Chapter 812 Thorough Understanding (2/2) Chapter 812: Chapter 812 Thorough Understanding (2/2) Mei Mengchen, now in second grade, was almost 1.3 meters tall, but he was never the tallest student in his class, as there was a girl who was already 1.4 meters. Growth spurts in children are unpredictable, and you never know when they might shoot up in height.
If Mei Mengchen’s height were always before your eyes, it might not seem so startling, but if you hadn’t seen him in a while, his growth could truly take you by surprise.
But was Mei Mengchen’s height really the focus? These two families hadn’t come here just to fuss over their children’s heights, especially not Mei Yongfu. Mei Yongfu had thought that after having a son, the past issues with Mei Yinan would naturally be forgotten, but he was mistaken. Ever since the misunderstanding at the last wedding, they hadn’t been in contact at all, and even when he sent out invitations for his son’s full-month celebration, none of these relatives showed up.
Mei Yongfu, already doting on his son and having never gotten over his anger, was even more infuriated by this event. However, over time, this frustration slowly turned into blame. Mei Yongfu blamed his older sister for not caring for him anymore (which really meant not giving him money, not indulging him, or protecting him in some matters)—but he never thought about his own age, that he wasn’t at an age where he needed to be pampered. Why should he always be so indulged? It was simply spoiling, and a few more outbursts would correct this bad habit.
However, they didn’t have that much time at this advanced age. As time passed, such blame gradually diminished. It wasn’t that Mei Yongfu had “grown up” and stopped blaming his sister, but after having a son and without anyone to “subsidize” him, his family’s situation deteriorated, with their lives becoming more and more strained. Even with both parents working, they couldn’t match the standard of living he had when he was the sole earner.
