"You feel bad even though your mother didn't say anything."
The old lady took the opportunity to complain again, "Why didn't you, as a father, do anything about the little girl not going to school today?"
"Not in school?" Zhang Shicheng glanced inside and asked nervously, "Is Nanfeng not in school because she's sick?"
"Why are you so anxious? She's fine." The old lady pulled her son to sit down and said, "Now I have something urgent to ask you. Have you really decided to go out with your wife's family?"
Speaking of "going out", the old lady's heart began to beat. She wanted to go abroad to see the world, but she was afraid.
I am curious about the outside world, feel it is novel, and admire it at the same time.
If she goes out, she will have something to brag about when she comes back.
No one laughed at her for being a country woman anymore, and no one dared to say that she had never seen the world and was not as good as the woman the old man would marry later.
At this point, Zhang Shicheng thought his mother was going to make a fuss, and he had to persuade her again.
In the room, Meng Niang applied medicine to her daughter with great concern. Her eyes were red and she lowered her head and blew on the wound a few times.
"It's all my fault that I didn't see grandma, otherwise my sister wouldn't have been beaten." Duobao also blew a few times guiltily.
Meng Niang touched her son's head and thought to herself: That old woman is so elusive, how can you blame you for not seeing her.
If anyone should be blamed, it should be her. If only she hadn't walked away just now, things would have been fine.
Lin Nanfeng didn't say anything, but his eyes were looking at his younger brother.
In the previous life, Zhang Shicheng did come back, but it was only his family of five who came back.
Lin Nanfeng asked Zhang Shicheng, and he only said that Duobao could not withstand the weather at sea and died of illness on the way abroad.
She was alone at that time, and her mother died with her eyes open for Duobao, so she was willing to give up everything.
So she kidnapped Meng Yu and learned the truth about Duobao's death from her.
Duobao was suffocated to death.
Meng Yu said: Before they boarded the ship, they were afraid Duobao would make trouble, so they knocked him out and put him together with the suitcase. They were afraid that someone would check, so they piled things on top of the suitcase.
After getting on the boat, the luggage and people were separated and not in the same warehouse. Meng Yu thought that the captain would let Duobao out as soon as they got on the boat.
But the old lady got seasick. She felt uncomfortable on the boat and fell asleep after taking medicine.
At that time, Zhang Shicheng was still feeling guilty for not being able to bring Mengniang and her daughter on board, so when everyone met the next day, they found out that Duobao was still in the box.
Later, when we went downstairs to look for him, Duobao had already become stiff, curled up in a narrow box.
The box was covered with scratches from his fingernails, and his fingernails were broken and bloody. Those were the scratches he made when he was deprived of oxygen inside.
When Lin Nanfeng thought of that scene, his breathing stopped in pain. Duobao was only four years old in his previous life. He was so young.
Before leaving, he shouted, "Mom, save me! Sister, save me!", but he didn't get a single response. How desperate he must have been at that time!
Zhang Shicheng deserved to die, the old lady deserved to die, Meng Yu deserved to die even more, they all deserved to die, so later Lin Nanfeng sent them all down to accompany Duobao.
"Sister?" Duobao looked up at her with wet eyes.
Meng Niang also squatted down and asked her concernedly, "Is it painful? Your brother is calling you, why are you silent?"
She gave birth to the daughter and raised her. These days, Nanfeng has been silent and lowered her head. She will ignore you if you don't call her.
Such a gloomy daughter seems very different from the child who used to smile at everyone she saw.
Meng Niang touched her face worriedly and forced a smile to comfort her, "Grandma doesn't dislike you, she just thinks your brother is younger and wants you to give way to him."
Lin Nanfeng is an adult. Even if she is ten years old, she has been to school for a few years and is no longer easy to deceive.
She knew exactly what the old lady was thinking, after all, the cane had hit her hand.
Her hand didn't hurt, she just felt sorry for her mother, and it wasn't easy for her to feel sorry for her.
Meng Niang knew very well that if she didn't please the old lady, she would have no place in this family.
I can't even protect her.
For example, today when the old lady hit her hand, Zhang Shicheng was speaking up for her. As long as her mother didn't say anything, she would let Zhang Shicheng argue with his mother and seek justice for her.
But Mengniang didn't do that. Instead, she spoke up and said that it was her daughter who was greedy, because she knew that as long as the old lady felt at ease, they would have a good life after Zhang Shicheng left.
If Meng Niang stood on Zhang Shicheng's side for the sake of justice, she would be finished once Zhang Shicheng left.
When the old lady is unhappy, she will find some fun for herself.
The backyard was lonely, and Mengniang and Lin Nanfeng were her entertainment.
Of course the old lady didn't dare to bully Meng Yu openly, so she had no choice but to rely on the Zhang family.
In the evening, Zhang Shicheng and his mother had dinner with them.
The old lady asked someone to cook a bowl of unknown soup for Meng Niang, and told her with a smile to drink it, saying that she would give the Zhang family a grandson next year.
Zhang Shicheng also acquiesced to his mother's action. Meng Yu was already in her forties and her body was damaged after giving birth to twins last time. The doctor said that she would never be able to give birth again.
Now if we want to have another son, it all depends on Meng Niang alone.
Meng Niang obediently took the soup and drank it all, not caring at all that Zhang Shicheng and his mother used her as a tool to continue the family line.
China has now adopted a monogamous system. Zhang Shicheng and his mother were unwilling to let their mother leave. Instead, they used her as a threat to imprison her in this house, treating her as a reproductive tool. They really deserve to die.
Zhang Shicheng wanted to stay here at night, but before going to bed, Meng Yu said she had something to discuss with him, and then pushed the person back.
Meng Niang didn't care about these things. She neither took the initiative nor refused. She carried her son to sleep in her daughter's room.
Mother and daughter are connected by heart. As a mother, she sees that her daughter has been worried lately and is anxious. She is worried about her daughter being alone, so she comes to comfort her.
"Mom, have you ever thought about leaving the Zhang family and leaving Qiang City?"
Meng Niang paused for a moment when she heard her daughter ask this, and then immediately said in confusion:
"Why do you ask that? I have never thought about leaving the Zhang family."
Suddenly, Mengniang thought that her daughter went to school and must have learned some new knowledge in school.
Of course, she also knew that her current status brought shame to her daughter, so she whispered:
"Your father is much better than the people outside. Don't listen to other people's nonsense. Look, aren't we all fine?
If you have clothes to wear and food to eat, and you study hard, your brother will also be well in the future."
What Mengniang wanted to say was that when her son grows up, she and her daughter will have someone to rely on.
In the darkness where Meng Niang couldn't see, when she said your 'father', Lin Nanfeng laughed sarcastically.
It’s true that Zhang Shicheng treated her well, but couldn’t he just abandon her?
She was just an object of Zhang Shicheng. He would tease her when he liked her and throw her away when he didn't like her anymore. She was just an insignificant person.
"Don't let your imagination run wild," Meng Niang comforted her. "Go to bed early. Don't you have to go to school tomorrow?"
It was impossible for her to go to school, and her mother had no choice but to leave the Zhang family even if she didn't want to.
