Chapter 144: Life is at stake!
Lin Mengyao clenched her palms tightly with her fingertips, fearing that she would not be able to control her emotions and could stab Shen Chengyuan to death with a pair of scissors.
"I...I haven't seen my mother for a long time. I miss her a little."
She lowered her eyes, looking very homesick.
Shen Chengyuan was easy to talk to. "This is a simple matter. Aren't you worried about the rainstorm? Why don't you just bring your mother over to live with you for a while? She can take good care of you for us."
Although Qiu Lian agreed to Lin Mengyao giving birth to the child recently, she often showed a cold face to her on weekdays. Not only her, but even her son Shen Nanfeng had a cold face all day long.
Shen Chengyuan was also worried that if this continued, Lin Mengyao would become suspicious and the baby would not be able to sit steadily.
He would feel more at ease if he could bring his mother-in-law over.
Lin Mengyao looked expectantly, "Is it really possible?"
Originally, Lin Mengyao didn't care about the life or death of Zhang Xiumei and the other three.
But now that she has encountered this kind of thing, if she doesn't have someone she can rely on, she really doesn't know what to do.
She had no way of deciding whether the baby in her belly should go or stay.
If she lost this child, Shen Chengyuan would definitely be furious, and he might not even care about her life or death. So would she still win back Shen Nanfeng's heart?
But if she really gave birth...
That's too disgusting! ! !
She couldn't accept that her child was born to an old man!
···
Shen Chengyuan was very efficient and sent someone to deliver the message the next day.
Zhang Xiumei did not expect to receive a letter from her daughter at this critical juncture.
The night before, Lin Xiaojun came back crying, saying that Lin Ziqiu refused to forgive him. He wanted to stay in the Zhong family but was kicked out.
Zhang Xiumei couldn't bear to see her son suffer such an injustice in vain, so she wanted to take him to the military compound to ask for an explanation.
But Lin Dahai stopped him, "How dare you cause trouble? Just because you pissed her off, our family has fallen to the point where we can't even buy food! If you want to die, go die by yourself! Don't drag my son into this!"
Lin Dahai originally thought that Lin Ziqiu would take into consideration that Lin Xiaojun was young and ignorant and would not argue with him, or at least would keep her brother for the sake of face.
But I never thought she could be so ruthless.
It seems that even if I go by myself, I will still run into obstacles.
Now that Zhong Heyang is also at home, if I rashly go to ask for an explanation, I might end up making things worse and getting myself into trouble.
Zhang Xiumei hugged her son tightly, her face full of anger, "She is the good daughter born to you and that bitch! I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen someone as heartless as her! She should have died with that bitch!"
"Shut up!"
Lin Dahai growled impatiently, "Why don't you speak louder? Everyone around us can hear you! You have no shame, but I still want more!"
Zhang Xiumei was so angry that her eyes turned red. She was living such a miserable life now, and it was all Lin Ziqiu's fault!
I thought they had been bullying and abusing her since she was little, and she would never make any waves in her life. But after she married a man, she really turned from a sparrow into a phoenix!
She really hated it!
Just then, someone came outside, claiming to be from Ankang Village, and asked Lin Mengyao to deliver a message.
Zhang Xiumei immediately perked up and quickly opened the door. When she learned that her daughter wanted to take her to the countryside, she felt like she had found a life-saving straw.
As soon as the outsiders left, she couldn't help but show off in front of Lin Dahai.
"Look! You still have to rely on my own daughter at the critical moment! Just protect your ungrateful daughter! I won't stay here with you and wait to starve to death!"
Lin Dahai's face was gloomy. "I won't go to that crappy place!"
His hometown is also in the countryside. He finally managed to make a living in the city. Later, he met Li Xiuyan, and then he settled down in the city.
If he is asked to go back to the countryside, he will definitely not go.
He would rather say something nice to Lin Ziqiu than live his life according to Lin Mengyao's mood.
Zhang Xiumei curled her lips, "Tsk, you're just being stubborn. My daughter is marrying a captain, who is an official at least! What's more, she's pregnant now, so she won't have to worry about her future!"
"Lin Ziqiu can only catch the eye of Zhong Heyang now. He just wants to see something new. She doesn't have a child, so she will be kicked out of the house sooner or later!"
But she always remembered what Lin Mengyao said to her.
Zhong Heyang has not married for many years, so he must have some serious illness. Even if Lin Ziqiu marries him, she will not have children.
In this day and age, if a woman doesn’t have children, how can she gain a foothold in her husband’s family?
Forget about a son, at least we should have a daughter!
Moreover, Lin Ziqiu was forced to marry Zhong Heyang because Zhong Zhiyang ran away from the marriage. When Zhong Heyang is old, won’t Zhong Zhiyang still have the final say in the Zhong family?
Could Zhong Zhiyang really be willing to be truly nice to Lin Ziqiu, the person who almost became his wife?
joke!
Lin Dahai snorted coldly, "Don't say such harsh words! Since you are going to find Lin Mengyao, then ask her if she stole the money when the house was robbed!"
Zhang Xiumei's face changed slightly, "Who do you think she is? Why don't you suspect that it was Lin Ziqiu who did it?"
"You idiot!" Lin Dahai cursed angrily, "If it was Lin Ziqiu who did it, how could she not admit it? And wasn't Lin Mengyao the only one at home when the thief got robbed? We were sending Xiaojun to the hospital, and she just happened to steal the money! Otherwise, why would she go to the countryside in advance? Isn't it because she is guilty as a thief?"
Zhang Xiumei was speechless after hearing what he said. Finally, she had to be tough and said, "My daughter doesn't care about your little money at all! She will be very rich in the future! You keep throwing this dirty water on her! When the time comes, we will live a good life, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Lin Dahai sneered, "You are just a poor and remote place, but you still want to be rich! You should leave quickly! You don't have to be an eyesore if you stay here!"
Zhang Xiumei glared at him fiercely, took Lin Xiaojun's hand, and walked into the house, planning to pack her luggage and leave immediately.
Lin Xiaojun tugged at his mother's sleeve, "Mom, are we really going to live in the countryside?"
His face was full of reluctance, "Can I not go?"
Zhang Xiumei sighed and said earnestly, "Xiaojun, we can't even get food if we stay here, why don't we go and live with your sister? Don't listen to your father, he doesn't know anything!"
"The countryside isn't as good as the city, but at least you won't starve. Besides, your sister is married to the captain's son. Everyone in the village has to listen to her. Just think how impressive she is!"
After hearing what she said, Lin Xiaojun was finally moved. "How long are we going to stay there? Will we come back?"
Zhang Xiumei was stunned for a moment, and then she thought for a moment before she said, "Your sister is pregnant. I have to wait until she gives birth before I can leave with peace of mind."
I guess by that time the rainstorm will be over and it will be just right for her to go back to the city.
As for Lin Dahai, Zhang Xiumei was too lazy to care about him. It would be better if he died so as not to make her angry.
But if this happens, she might lose her job at the machinery factory. But in this situation, who would still want to make money?
Life matters!
