Shen Meng was a corporate drone at a large factory. While on her way to deliver a contract to a business partner, she was in a car accident.
Just as she was lying paralyzed in bed, feeling mi...
Chapter 302: Mom, I'm so hungry
Yu Shirley felt nervous when she heard Wang Lianhua's words. She looked at the two girls with red eyes crying and her hands were shaking with anger.
"Shirley, you have to think of a way to deal with this first. I see that your parents are not easy to get along with. Aren't you and Dr. Qian discussing the wedding date? What if there is a quarrel?"
"Let them quarrel. I'm a divorced woman. What does that have to do with my parents' family? When I married Xu Laizi, they said that I was a disgrace and that I would have nothing to do with the Yu family after marriage. Why are you doing this now? Everyone has sharp eyes. How can they not know who?"
Wang Lianhua sighed. That's what she said, but that's not the case!
A word of filial piety from others can make a person feel suffocated. No matter what happened in the past, a sentence of letting the past be the past can erase all the sufferings a person has endured.
"Or, let's go find Xiao Meng later. She is very shrewd and must have an idea."
"No, Shen Meng received a transfer order today. Now she is a government employee. In the future, she can't do things according to her temper like she does now. This is my own business. I can handle it myself. I can't ask her for help in everything. It will tire her to death."
"Really? She is a government employee now, which means she is an official. Hey, that's great, great, God bless you, hehe, good people will be rewarded."
"Are you so happy?"
"Humph, of course not. Today when I went out to tidy up my private plot, I saw Aunt Hua. Haha, you don't know what a horrible look she is now. When she passed by my fenced garden, she cursed at me. She also cursed Shen Meng. Bah, the life she lives now is all her own fault. She used to please Zhou Jiaojiao so much, but now, no one cares about her! Humph, I'm so happy, really happy. I'm really happy today."
Yu Shirley laughed as she listened to her words. Wang Lianhua went to the kitchen and brought out the prepared meals. The dishes that Yu Shirley brought from the state-owned hotel were still hot. She opened the lunch box and put it on the table.
"I've eaten in the county. These dishes are for you. Eat them while they're hot."
"Wow, they smell so good. There's meat, thank you, auntie."
"Thank you, auntie."
Daqing and Erqing thanked Yu Shirley before starting to eat with chopsticks.
"You're welcome. Eat more. These are all delicious dishes. They're specially brought for you. After eating, wash up, do your homework, and go to bed. Don't stay up late, okay? Daqing, you've been reading until late these days. Don't hurt your eyes."
"Oh, I know, auntie. I'm paying attention!"
The two women each took care of their children. Now they felt comfortable. It was much better than living with a stinky man. They didn't have to serve anyone, and the children were sensible. There weren't so many things going on.
After finishing the meal, Yu Shirley lay on the kang and looked at Xiaoya who was sleeping soundly, with tears in the corners of her eyes and her eyes slightly narrowed.
The next morning, Daya came with Chubao on her back and Daqing and Erqing came to go to school with Mingyang and others. Shen Meng took a few small white cakes and stuffed them into their small schoolbags.
"Take a leave for Mingyang and the others today. Auntie is going to take them to the county town. They will go to school tomorrow!"
"Okay, then we'll go first, auntie. We'll be late soon."
"Be good, go!"
Shen Meng stood at the door and watched the little kids walk towards the school. When he turned around, he listened to their mutterings.
"What if your grandma and grandpa come over to grab Xiao Ya today?"
"It's okay. Xiao Ya is staying at home today and not going anywhere. No matter who wants to grab her, it's useless. My mother said you don't have to be afraid."
"Yeah, I also told my mother to lock the door and not go anywhere today. Just watch Xiao Ya at home. If they come over, let the people in our village beat them up."
"Knock out their teeth."
........
The children walked quickly and before they wanted to hear anything else, they had already walked far away.
"Mingkai, Mingkai, come here."
"Mom?"
"Son, you look so fat now, go out for a walk quickly, and go see Xiaoya and ask her if she was scared yesterday?"
"Oh!"
Lu Mingkai, holding a piece of maltose, walked towards Yu Shirley leisurely. On the way, he met Dezi, who looked at him with disdain, snorted and left.
Dezi lowered his head awkwardly, but did not leave. He stood at the intersection waiting for people. After
a while, Yu Shirley came out of the house with a bag on her shoulder, with a smile on her face. Just now, Mingkai praised her for her beauty. The boy was very sweet-mouthed. After a few words, she felt that she had a few more wrinkles from smiling.
"Mom."
Hearing someone calling her, the smile on her face faded a lot. She didn't want to respond at first, but this child was waiting for her here every day, getting thinner day by day. After all, he was her son, so she was not really unmoved.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Mom, I, I'm so hungry, can you give me something to eat?"
After Dezi finished speaking, tears were dripping down his face, and his little body was shaking. He didn't even dare to look up at his own mother.
"Why don't you go find your grandparents if you're hungry? Where's your dad?"
"My grandpa said there wasn't much food left at home, so she asked me to wait for you at the intersection every day. She said you were my mother, and you saw how pitiful I was, so you wouldn't be so cruel. Dad doesn't come home every day, and I haven't seen him for a long time. Mom, I, I don't want to cause you any trouble, but I'm so hungry."
Yu Shirley sighed, asked him to wait, and turned around and walked towards home.
After waiting for so many days, she always watched me walk by. Overall, I still understand a little bit.
Wang Lianhua saw her coming back, and just wanted to ask her if she had forgotten anything, she saw her take out two cakes from the cupboard, spread some sauce on them, and quickly closed her mouth.
She had eaten very much in the morning, it was impossible that she was getting food for herself. When she sent the children to Xie Jinghao's house before, she saw Dezi waiting at the intersection. Now seeing her like this, she finally understood.
However, there were two eggs cooked in the morning in the closet. She walked over and took them and handed them to Yu Shirley.
"Give this to Dezi too. I see that he is very thin. He has suffered a lot in the past six months."
"No, just eat this. It's better to give the good things to my eldest and youngest."
Wang Lianhua opened her mouth but still didn't say any words of comfort.
Dezi saw Yu Shirley coming over with food, his eyes lit up, he took it and took two big bites, then smiled at Yu Shirley.
"Thank you, mother."
Yu Shirley waited until he had almost finished eating before saying, "Don't wait here in the future, go to school with your sister in a couple of days. I've said before that I will take care of your living expenses. Go home and ask your grandparents, if they are willing, you can go, and come back and tell me, that's all."
"Oh, I know, mother, I will be obedient in the future, mother, I was wrong, please don't abandon me."
