Chapter 40 How much is her love worth?

Lu Caoniu was a little confused.

Shen Ru said, "Mom, it takes time to cultivate feelings. The child has just been recognized, so it's better to go back to her home."

Lu Caoniu: "Grandma, I'm going home with my parents first, and I'll come see you in a few days, okay?"

Chen Baomei didn't force it.

"Okay, you have grandma's phone number. When you miss her, just call her."

Chen Baomei gave money to Shen Ru to buy a mobile phone for the child, and taught the child how to use it while in the hospital.

"good."

Wu Wenwan felt a little unhappy when she saw Lu Caoniu and Chen Baomei were reluctant to leave.

"Okay, stop standing at the gate and get in the car."

She didn't want to come at first, but Shen Qin said it would be better for both of them as parents to be present since it was the child's first time home.

Watching their car leave, Chen Baomei sighed deeply.

"Mom, everyone has been found, what are you still worried about?"

"Look at the attitudes of Shen Qin and Wu Wenwan. Do you think they will be nice to Niuniu?"

In order for her to be able to follow her safely in the future, Chen Baomei could not stop her from going home.

Forget it, she is destined to suffer from her parents' favoritism.

Chen Baomei was still unable to do heavy work, so Lu Qionghua went back to the village with her.

Before, Chen Baomei was injured and hired a temporary worker to help at the pig farm. This time, Chen Baomei was able to move freely, so Lu Qionghua volunteered to let Chen Baomei quit her temporary job and go to work at the pig farm.

Chen Baomei felt tired for a moment. She really didn't know whether to say that her daughter-in-law was stupid or that she was dumb.

Shen Ming's auto repair shop can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and they also have two houses under their names. Wouldn't it be nice to divorce Shen Ming, take the property, find a job, or learn a skill to start over?

Why can't he let go? He is even more feudal and stubborn than this old woman.

Lu Qionghua also noticed that Chen Baomei was a little disappointed in her.

"Mom, if I divorce Shen Ming, I'll have no home. And you've been so good to me. If I divorce Shen Ming, I'll feel really sorry for you."

Lu Qionghua felt that even if her husband was not good to her, it was enough as long as her mother-in-law treated her well.

After all, there are many people around her who are worse off than her.

A good man is hard to find, and a good mother-in-law is even harder to find.

When Lu Qionghua thought about divorcing her son, she felt particularly sorry for Chen Baomei.

Chen Baomei: “!”

"I'm nice to you because you respect me. What does it have to do with Shen Ming? People are mutual. If you're not nice to me, how can I be nice to you?"

"You don't have to worry about me. To put it bluntly, I wish you two would get divorced and you could find a man better than Shen Ming. I treat you as my daughter, and you feel sorry for me. I also want you to live a good life in the future."

Lu Qionghua was so moved that her eyes were blurred with tears.

"Mom, I'll think about it carefully. Let me help you for a while. I'll make plans when you're better."

"I feel relieved that you have a plan in mind."

Chen Baomei can't do heavy work, but she can cook and clean the house.

She cooked meals every day and sent them to Lu Qionghua, and cleaned the house in the evening and waited for her daughter-in-law to come back.

After staying back for two days, Chen Baomei was worried about Lu Caoniu, so she called her.

Lu Caoniu said on the phone that she was fine and asked Chen Baomei not to worry.

But Chen Baomei could still hear the depression in her mood.

After asking her in detail, she found out that Chen Jiao had snatched her new phone away.

She is currently using Chen Jiao's old phone.

At that time, Chen Baomei transferred two thousand yuan to Shen Ru to help her buy a mobile phone.

Shen Ru added more than 2,000 yuan and bought her a new fruit phone that every little girl would like.

Unexpectedly, she was noticed by Shen Jiao when she returned. When she started to act coquettishly with Wu Wenwan, Wu Wenwan ordered Lu Caoniu to give the new phone to Shen Jiao.

Lu Caoniu was very nervous. She was especially afraid that Chen Baomei would scold her for being useless.

"Grandma, I'm sorry."

Chen Baomei could understand her mentality.

When she first arrived in an unfamiliar environment and was forced by her mother to hand over her belongings, it was difficult for her to refuse.

But if she can't stand up on her own, she will only be bullied more and more by them.

"Niuniu, that's something grandma and your aunt gave you. Logically, once something is given to you, you have the right to dispose of it, but grandma doesn't think you really want to give the phone to Chen Jiao. You're just afraid that your mother will be disappointed in you, so you don't dare to refuse her, right?"

"Grandma, I don't want to give it to her. Mom said she won't like me if I don't give it to her. She said I'm too stingy and should give in to my sister."

Lu Caoniu was sobbing softly on the phone.

Chen Baomei said: "Don't cry, if you don't want to give it, you should be firm. How much is your mother's love worth? Protecting your own things is the serious matter. You must learn to protect your own interests, just like when you were beaten and ran to the village chief for help. She said you were stingy, then you were stingy, that's just her idea. She said that to you on purpose to force you to give the phone to Chen Jiao.

What kind of sister is that? Your sister is Xiao Jiuer. Chen Jiao is the daughter of a criminal. How can she be your sister? Be tough and don't be afraid. Grandma is backing you up."

Lu Caoniu bit her lip and said, "Okay, I'll get my phone back when they come back."

Chen Baomei raised her eyebrows. "Today is the weekend. Where did they go?"

"Dad is working overtime at the company, so Mom took my brother, sister, and Shen Jiao to the amusement park."

"So what do you do at home?"

Lu Caoniu said happily, "Mom knows I can cook. She likes to eat the steamed chicken with mushrooms that I made, so she asked me to cook for them at home."

Perhaps because she felt that she could contribute to the family, Lu Caoniu spoke with a very proud tone.

However, Chen Baomei cursed Wu Wenwan and Shen Qin in her heart.

Going to the amusement park without taking their own daughter with them and letting their ten-year-old daughter cook for them at home is simply too much!

Chen Baomei suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "Our Niuniu is really capable!"

After praising Lu Caoniu, she changed the subject and asked, "Niuniu, do you do a lot of work at home?"

"Not much. I usually just cook, clean the house, and do some housework. It's not tiring at all!"

"Then what are Chen Jiao and Wu Hui doing?"

Lu Caoniu shook her head. "Mom said they can't do it, and they can't do it as well as I can."

"Niuniu, grandma is telling you, if Chen Jiao and Wu Hui don't do these things, then you shouldn't do them either. You're all the same age, it's just a matter of whether you're willing to learn, not whether you do it well or not. I can't just hand these things over to you just because you know how to do them."

"Why should they be able to go to the amusement park while you have to cook and work at home? This is so unfair to you."

"When I was in Lougaotang Village, I also often did a lot of work. Grandma, I don't feel it's hard. I am living a much better life now than before."

Chen Baomei tried to correct her thoughts. "You can't ignore your true feelings just because your life is better than before. When grandma asked you if they wanted to go to the amusement park, did you want to go?"

Lu Caoniu didn't know how to lie. She said honestly, "I thought so."

Growing up, she had only seen amusement parks on TV and had never been there.

"That's it. You have to learn to ask yourself, they are all your parents' children, so why can Wu Hui and Shen Jiao do this, but you can't? Shen Jiao is not your parents' biological child. What you have to do is to do what Wu Hui and Shen Jiao can do. Whether it's eating, wearing, spending money, or having fun, you have to be exactly like them!"

Lu Caoniu asked hesitantly, "What if Mom gets angry?"

"So what if she's angry?"

Chen Baomei asked her back.

Lu Caoniu whispered to Chen Baomei: "Will she hit me?"

"Won't."

This child must have been scared by the beating and has a shadow in his heart.

However, Wu Wenwan prided herself on being from a noble family and an intellectual, and she would never hit a child.

Of course, she doesn't beat children, but she has other ways to torture people, such as verbal suppression and cold violence.

After finishing the call with Lu Caoniu, Chen Baomei called Shen Qin to question him.

"Mom, what's going on?"

Chen Baomei: "I just called Niuniu, and she said that Chen Jiao took the phone we bought for her. Is that true?"

Shen Qin couldn't help but frown: "Did she complain to you?"
