Chapter 119: Did we go to the wrong house?
Before Li Chuan's secretary even reached the door, he was pushed by a child and stumbled.
"What are you doing? Where are you from? Why are you coming to my house?"
"Why are you here?"
Mingfang said nothing, standing beside his two brothers in fear.
"Don't be afraid, kids. We are here to find Comrade Shen Meng. She bravely saved our Secretary Li's daughter yesterday. We are here to thank her, not to cause trouble."
The secretary patiently explained to the three children. Hearing that it was a misunderstanding, Mingyang quickly coughed twice and then opened the door. His mother did mention the matter of saving people last night.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know who you were. Come in, I'll go call my parents."
Mingyang said and ran to the yard. Mingliang behind him called them into the yard.
"Then come in, my parents might be working."
"Working!"
Mingfang said and glanced at Mingliang. Their mother slept until noon every day. I don't know if she is still lying on the kang now. There are so many people at the door. They can't let others say that their mother is a shrew. They have to save their image appropriately.
Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng listened to the commotion outside. As soon as they left the main room, they almost bumped into Mingyang who ran in.
"Mom and Dad, there are two cars at the door. They said they are here to see Mom and thank her."
"Lu Zhenping, is that you?"
Li Chuan's eyes widened instantly when he looked at the man in front of him. When he was on a business trip to the army to visit his son, he happened to meet his deputy regiment commander, who was none other than Lu Zhenping in front of him. Only then did he realize that Lu Zhenping took good care of his son Li Heping, and because they were from the same county, he immediately developed a liking for Lu Zhenping.
"Uncle Li, why are you here?"
"I'm here to look for Shen Meng. Comrade Shen, who are you? Oh, look at me. No wonder Dr. Cheng said Shen Meng was a military dependent. It turns out she is your wife. What a coincidence."
Shen Meng also came out at this time. She just took a nap in the house. She was so lazy under the sun that she couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong?"
Li Chuan looked at Shen Meng, then looked at Lu Zhenping, and laughed out loud.
"Zhenping, you are really great. Not only are you an excellent soldier, but you also married an excellent wife. You may not know that your wife heroically saved a pregnant woman yesterday and gave her a ginseng. The pregnant woman is my daughter, Heping's sister."
Lu Zhenping knew that Shen Meng had saved a person, but he didn't know that it was such a coincidence that the person saved was Secretary Li's daughter.
"That's such a coincidence. Uncle Li, come in and sit down. Comrades in the back, come in quickly."
He greeted people. Shen Meng looked at Li Chuan's temperament and conversation, and knew in his heart that this person's identity was probably not simple, so he turned around and poured water.
Lin Rong walked into the yard and began to look around. After entering the house, she saw that the family lived in a spacious brick and tile house, and all the furniture was very good. She curled her lips.
The secretary put all the things he brought on the table, and Li Chuan took out a red envelope from one of the bags.
"Comrade Shen, this is the ginseng money you gave to Qianqian to save her life. I have seen it. If it is placed in a consignment store, it will be sold for more than three hundred and twenty yuan. She ate the things, so as a father, I naturally have to help her give the money."
Hu Biao's face changed, and he quickly took the money that Li Chuan handed over. He had prepared it when he was at home. This money can be paid by himself or his parents, but the only thing cannot be paid by the Li family, otherwise how can he face Li Qianqian and his son Baoguo in the future.
"Dad, how can I ask you to pay for this? Since Qianqian ate the ginseng, then I, as her husband, must pay for it. Comrade Shen, I'm Hu Biao, Li Qianqian's husband. I really appreciate your generosity yesterday and for giving her such a good ginseng. This is the money for the ginseng, and these are all gifts from Qianqian and me. I hope you can accept them, you really should." He
was sweating as he spoke. When he married Li Qianqian, his father-in-law and eldest brother strongly disagreed. Now his father-in-law's attitude towards him has changed. If his eldest brother in the army gets to know about this, he's afraid he'll lose his leg.
The red envelope Hu Biao gave was thicker than Li Chuan's, which made Lin Rong's eyelids twitch. Even though she already knew the price of the ginseng, she still felt distressed when she really had to spend money. She looked at Shen Meng, who was dressed simply, and doubts arose in her heart. This woman must have made up her mind early on. Which family could afford to buy more than 300 ginsengs!
What's more, Jiaojiao had said that Qianqian had said early on that she was from a textile factory family. She herself had worked her way up from a farmer, so she naturally knew the habits of country people. Some women looked harmless, but in fact they were very cunning.
"Comrade Shen, look at our Hu family's sincerity, it's a lot of money. You probably can't earn this much money by working in the countryside for three to five years. Oh, by the way, don't rush to accept these things. Not all of them are for you. After all, Jiaojiao is also a benefactor of our Hu family. We should thank her together."
Lin Rong's words made the atmosphere, which was a little lively just now, stiff in an instant. Li Chuan frowned and looked at Hu Jinbu, and then at Hu Biao.
He didn't agree to this marriage at first because he was very concerned about Lin Rong, a narrow-minded and stubborn relative.
This look frightened Hu Jinbu half to death, he hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Haha, Biao Biao's mother's words were a bit rough, Comrade Shen, please don't mind, we have prepared another set of things for Comrade Zhou, these are for you, please be kind enough to keep them."
It was the first time for him, a textile factory director, to speak to someone like this. Of course, if Li Chuan was not there, he would have said something else.
Shen Meng originally did not intend to take these things and money, but since the old woman dared to ridicule her, she would have refused them for nothing.
"Thank you very much. Since you asked, I naturally have to appreciate it."
Lin Rong's face turned black and she was about to curse. Li Chuan coughed and pointed at Lu Zhenping and said, "Compared to my in-laws, you may not know Hu Biao. This is Deputy Commander Lu, the leader of my Heping family and a leading figure in southern Yunnan. Although the things we send look valuable, can they be as great as the merits he has won? Can they be as important as the lives of my Qianqian and Baoguo?"
His words made Lin Rong open her mouth. The words in her heart were stuck in her throat and she dared not say them anymore. She thought he was just a poor soldier before, but she didn't expect that he held such a high position in the army and was the top superior of her son's brother-in-law.
Hu Biao's calves twitched and he wailed in his heart. He was afraid that he could not save his legs. What was wrong with his mother? Didn't she agree not to speak today? How dare she be so arrogant in front of his father-in-law? He couldn't understand, he really didn't understand.
Hu Jinbu's eyelids jumped, and he looked at Lu Zhenping. He felt that this man had a strong aura when he entered the door. He was not a simple person. It turned out to be true!
Zhou Jiaojiao and Lu Jiaxuan were sitting at home with their heads raised. They wanted to go out and take a look, but they were too reserved to open the door. They were very suspicious. Why didn't anyone knock on the door for such a long time? Did they find the wrong person?
