Meng Sheng listened to his mother's words and saw the man walking towards the courtyard gate while cursing, as if he was going to cause trouble for Feng Yi's family.
Suddenly my head became as big as a bucket.
The clouds in his eyes changed, and he was weighing things quickly in his mind.
The decision was made quickly.
Chen Hongxing's clothes were grabbed, and she slowed down her pace to leave the house. She turned around angrily and wanted to continue beating her son who had been bewitched by a vixen and still showed no remorse.
The calloused palm was raised high, but it couldn't hit the face that suddenly looked so weathered.
She blinked again and again, and felt that her extremely familiar son seemed to become much stranger in an instant.
Although he is in his twenties and full of youth, he is filled with gloom and decadence that is inconsistent with his age.
Seeing that his mother was stunned and no longer angry, Meng Sheng pulled a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth. He originally wanted to bury his past and present life deep in his heart, but now he had to tell it in order to make the future smoother.
Otherwise, his parents will always treat him as a child who needs constant discipline, always worry that he will be easily deceived, and prevent him from doing many things.
He said solemnly: "Mom, it's not what you think.
Come inside and I'll tell you slowly, okay?"
Chen Hongxing felt a little panicked as she looked at her son who seemed like a different person.
I subconsciously stepped into the house and found a stool to sit down.
Meng Sheng followed her into the house, squatted beside his mother, took her hand and gently rubbed it on his face, his eyes looking at the ground, and said in a deep but fast voice: "Mom, I was the one who saved Feng Yi's family when they had an accident a few days ago.
It was the evening when I went to my brother-in-law’s house.
Feng Yijia fainted on the roadside at the bottom of the cliff. I drank some wine at my brother-in-law's house. The aftereffect of the white wine was strong, and I gradually became a little dizzy.
Later, he didn't see clearly and kicked someone, then fell to the side and fell asleep.
When I woke up in my previous life, Feng Yijia was dead and I was imprisoned as a murderer.
He was imprisoned for twenty-six years before being released.
After I was released, I was unwilling to give up and searched for the real culprit. When I finally learned the truth, I was run over by Meng Yun’s car and died.
At this point, he felt his mother's body suddenly stiffen. He looked up at her face and saw no disgust or fear, only heartache. He continued, "When she regained consciousness, she was lying next to Feng Yi's family at the bottom of the cliff. This time she was still alive, and the Meng Yun brothers hadn't had time to kill anyone yet.
I carried the person back to the village.
Then they conspired together to send Meng Yun's family and Meng Jiefang to prison."
After listening to this long string of stories, Chen Hongxing felt a pang of pain in her heart.
He stared at his son with red eyes for a long time without saying anything.
What came to mind was that during this period of time, his honest son, who used to only work in the fields, suddenly became bold enough to start a business and sent money home several times in a short period of time.
It turned out that the child did not suddenly become wise, but that he had a new life...
After a long time, she wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeve and slapped her son on the head.
He angrily said, "You little bastard, you just want to work for the girl next to you. I won't care about you anymore if you finish the work for her.
Stop making up stories to appease your mother!"
Because Meng Sheng talked about his past life, the depression that spread all over his body was wiped away by a powerful slap.
His nose hit his mother's kneecap hard, and tears and nosebleed immediately flowed out.
He groaned in pain from his mouth.
Chen Hongxing realized later that she had used too much force. She lifted her son's head and took a look. His nose was red and blood was gushing out from under his nose. Although he looked miserable, it was not considered an injury in the eyes of a farmer who worked on the farm all year round.
She stood up, found a wet towel, threw it on Meng Sheng's face to wipe the blood from his nose, and then pretended to be calm and said, "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. I have to go make breakfast. Don't let your father and the others come back from working for a long time and have to wait for dinner with an empty stomach!"
After saying this, she didn't dare to look at her son carefully anymore, and walked into the kitchen with unsteady steps to get busy.
I kept thinking over and over what I had just heard in my mind. I was filled with fear, shock and anger, and my heart was in a mess.
Meng Sheng covered his nose and smiled bitterly in the main room. After a while, when the pain in the tip of his nose subsided and the nosebleed stopped, he sighed and returned to his room.
He dug out a small bundle from under the bed, then went to the chicken coop at the back and took out four newly laid eggs and took them to the kitchen.
He handed the bag to his mother who was making a fire and seemed a little distracted, and then he quickly cracked eggs with a bowl.
Chen Hongxing, who has always been frugal, was in no mood to pay attention to her son's wasteful behavior, and opened the bundle with stiff hands.
A pile of colorful banknotes and two golden objects lay in his hands, dazzling the eyes and making people feel uneasy.
Even if she was ignorant, she knew that no legitimate business could bring in so much income all at once.
Chen Hongxing tied the bundle again in a hurry and opened and closed her mouth several times before making a sound.
“Where does this money come from?
Son, let me tell you, no matter what, we can’t do anything illegal, okay?
We can't stay here under the fence anymore!"
Meng Sheng was speechless.
He exhaled and explained: "This money was hidden by a corrupt official I knew in prison in my previous life, and I took it secretly.
Don't worry, no one will know. Even if the person finds out that something is missing, he won't dare to tell anyone."
Meng Sheng, who knew too well the charm of money, did not tell the truth. His mother was not just his mother.
If you stay in the darkest part of human nature for a long time, you will subconsciously speculate about people's hearts with the greatest malice.
Even blood relatives are the same.
Chen Hongxing looked at the bundle in her hand, then at her son who was frying eggs with oil in a large spoon, and her heart was in turmoil.
He kept muttering subconsciously: "Less, less!
This spoonful of yours is enough to cook for several days."
Meng Shengdang ignored this and poured more cooking oil into the pot.
It has to be said that one of the reasons why he chose to talk about his past and future was that he ate too poorly every day.
If my mother knew that her future life was guaranteed, would she not have to be so frugal with her food?
The oily scrambled eggs came out of the pan, and a bowl of oily green beans was served cold.
The oil in the oil tank had already drained a little bit, and Chen Hongxing, who was in a state of turmoil, could no longer bear to watch.
He stuffed the bag in his hand back into Meng Sheng's hands and snatched the spatula from his son's hand.
He murmured in disdain: "No matter how rich you are, you can't live like you.
You brought back a lot of money a few days ago. Our family is so poor, so I accepted it against my conscience.
But later on, there was nothing going on at home, so I didn't need you to continue to support me.
You can keep these for yourself.
Don’t do such things in the future. Let’s live a peaceful and smooth life.
Don't mention life and death to others anymore.
Your father values his brothers, and all of you brothers will have your own families.
The more people know, the more trouble there will be.
That's the end of this matter, you hear?"
Meng Sheng nodded while holding the package. He felt a little ashamed for lying to his mother, and a layer of tears of emotion appeared in his eyes.
This is his mother, who often scolds him and beats him, but always thinks of him.
