Chapter 12: This kid is a bit cunning
After Shen Meng and the others left, she lay down on the kang. She was dizzy after talking for a while. Wang Guizhi was also very tired, but she couldn't rest even though she was lying down. Looking at the silent children, she pulled Lu Mingkai to her side.
"Little Meng, the children may still be hungry. There are still some egg cakes in your kang cabinet. Why don't you give them to the children to fill their stomachs? When you move back, I will heat the pot and make some food for you. I will ask your father to go home and get some food."
Shen Meng closed her eyes and said weakly, "Okay, mother, you take it. There is still some brown sugar in the kang cabinet. It's just right to make some water. You all drink some. I am not in good health. Let You and my father are tired, so you don't have to go back tonight. Ask someone to take a message home and go back tomorrow. After the food is distributed, there will be rice to cook at home. "
Wang Guizhi felt sad when she heard her daughter's words. She took the key of the kang cabinet and unlocked it. She gave Mingliang, Mingfang and Mingkai an egg cake each, and made a large teacup of brown sugar water and put it on the table for the children to drink.
The children who were always beaten and scolded were suddenly treated like this. They didn't know what to do for a while. Mingkai was young, and the egg cake in his hand was really delicious. He glanced at his mother several times with his big eyes, but still didn't dare to eat it.
Mingliang and Mingfang didn't eat either. One of them rolled her eyes, wanting to ask for another one for her elder brother, while the other really didn't dare to. It's not like her mother had given them one before, but she regretted it after eating it and beat her when she caught her. Thinking of this, her butt hurt.
The little girl panicked and put the cloth she had been holding on the kang, and stuffed the cake in her hand into Wang Guizhi's hand.
"Grandma, I'm not hungry. You eat. I...I..."
"Eat, Mingfang. Grandma is here. Your mother doesn't dare to hit you. Just now, your mother said that she will never hit you again. She knows she was wrong. Grandma said in front of your mother today that if she dares to hit you again, I will not recognize her as my daughter."
Lu Mingfang was still afraid after hearing this. Lu Mingliang, who was standing next to her, took the cake from Wang Guizhi's hand and stuffed it into Mingfang's hand.
"Sister, you eat. Listen to grandma and mother. Mother is still sick. We have to eat enough to take care of her!" Lu Mingliang smiled at Wang Guizhi and Shen Meng in a flattering way.
At such a young age, he was very cunning. Shen Meng sighed. Even though he seemed to care about her, the fear and indifference in his eyes could not be concealed.
Wang Guizhi reached out and hugged Lu Mingkai, coaxing him warmly, and fed him warm brown sugar water bit by bit.
"Mingkai, be good. Drink some sugar water and eat the cake. Grandma will make delicious food for you and your brothers and sisters in the evening."
Shen Meng also pulled the corners of her mouth to smile and said, "Yes, your grandma will make delicious food for you in the evening. Didn't your fourth aunt say to give you brown sugar and eggs? Mom, make a pot of brown sugar eggs in the evening, and everyone in our family will have a bowl." "
Okay! Let's nourish them all." Originally, Wang Guizhi didn't want to waste so much, but looking at the thin child and the seriously injured daughter, she wanted to make all the good things to nourish their bodies.
She held the little Mingkai in her arms, and when she touched it, she felt a handful of bones. Oh, the child is so miserable.
Lu Mingfang and Lu Mingliang chewed the sweet egg cakes and drank some brown sugar water from time to time. They felt like they were dreaming. No, they wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous even in their dreams. They were eating the egg cakes from their mother's kang cabinet.
They were stealing food from a tiger's mouth. They were too ambitious.
Lu Mingfang ate with anxiety. She was afraid that Shen Meng would come to settle accounts with her after she recovered. After eating one, she didn't dare to eat anymore. Lu Mingliang didn't care. He felt that Shen Meng was dying now. He might as well eat the egg cake in his hand quickly. It would be best if he could eat another one after eating one, otherwise he would have no chance in the future.
He was not afraid of the bad woman beating him afterwards. He was grown up now, and he would run away if she beat him. Besides, she herself said that she would not live long, so he was not afraid at all!!!
When he took the third one, Shen Meng spoke up. The egg cakes these days were very dry, and eating too much would make your stomach uncomfortable.
"Okay, Mingliang, there are still a few left. Leave some for your eldest brother. Drink the sugar water in the teacup. Your grandma will make delicious food for you in the evening. Don't worry, take Mingfang to see and pack your things. We will move back to our own home later."
Lu Mingliang paused for a moment while holding the egg cake, and then took away all the egg cakes.
"Okay, mom, I'll keep the cake. I'll give it to my eldest brother when he comes back. Hehe, mom, you take a rest. Mingfang and I will pack up."
"You're really sensible, good boy. Don't worry. If you have anything heavy that you can't carry, just tell grandma and she will get it for you!"
Lu Mingliang giggled, hid the cake, then turned to look at Wang Guizhi and said, "Okay, grandma."
Shen Meng didn't care about his tricks. She was just afraid that she would not give it out. This kid was a bit cunning. Shen Meng silently labeled him in her heart.
Liu Sanjin watched Lu Bangde and Zhang Hongfa weighing the grains, her eyes red with heartache, her hands shaking as she held onto the door frame. Zhou Jiaojiao and Lu Jiaxuan, who came over with their beddings, also looked unhappy, but there were many people outside peeking in to see the excitement, so they smiled even though they were reluctant.
Although everyone didn't know what was going on, they just saw Shen Meng's mother running out of the Lu family with messy hair and blood on her face, saying that Shen Meng was going to die soon, and that the old woman of the Lu family was biased and didn't want to hire a doctor because she wanted to give the brick and tile house of the main house to her youngest son. Thinking about it, it was indeed the fourth child of the Lu family who had been living in the main house for half a year, combined with the fact that Shen Meng's father had gone to find the doctor Lu Changhong before, everyone was filled with sighs.
I really didn't expect that Mrs. Liu, who usually said that she treated her daughter-in-law as her own daughter, was so thoughtful. It's true that there is no such thing as a family without a man. Seeing that Zhenping was serving in the army outside, she bullied his mother.
Some young wives who were secretly bullied by their mothers-in-law burst into tears immediately. They felt the same way and put themselves in Shen Meng's shoes. They imagined Shen Meng's life in the Lu family to be miserable. They almost forgot that Shen Meng often beat and scolded the children with a stick.
In fact, it is common to beat and scold children in the countryside. If you don't beat a naughty child, he won't learn his lesson. Beating is love and scolding is love. How can a mother not think about her children?
Shen Meng didn't know that her reputation had improved a little. She looked at the bags of food in front of her, the twelve yuan on the kang table, brown sugar and eggs, and felt very happy.
