Chapter 21: Write a letter to Brother Zhenping
The scene was too frightening, and neither of them spoke, but quietly withdrew.
Lu Mingyang wiped the sweat off his face with his hand, sat on the ground and panted hard. Lu Mingliang was about to speak but subconsciously controlled his voice.
"Brother, did you see that? Our brother and sister are being held in the arms of a bad woman. It's so scary. Is she possessed by a demon? And what's wrong with our brother and sister? Why are they willing to be held by a bad woman?"
Lu Mingyang glanced at Lu Mingliang, and he knew that the bad woman would not do nothing. She really started to coax Mingfang and Mingkai. Isn't it because they are young and easy to deceive?
After a while, he would definitely take his younger brothers and sisters out, and then sell them without Mingliang and I knowing. Humph, he was right. However, he couldn't tell anyone about this. Mingliang couldn't hide the truth, so he had to be careful not to reveal his tracks later or the bad woman would find out.
"Mingliang, don't call her a bad woman. That's mother. You ate two bowls of egg noodles she made at noon. Ask Mingfang and Mingkai what happened in the evening. Anyway, you should be polite in front of mother, okay?"
"I know, I've always been polite. Every time I see her, I almost smile to death. Brother, just take care of yourself. Mingfang and Xiaokai are fine. Shall we go to collect firewood?"
Lu Mingyang thought for a while and said, "Go. What can this little firewood do? The firewood room must be filled up."
"Okay, oh, by the way, brother, if others ask, just tell us that our grandma didn't call us to eat, and mother was still seriously injured and lying on the kang, and you cooked some potatoes at noon."
Lu Mingyang frowned and asked, "Why?"
"Brother, you are stupid. You just want others to know. When these words get to Dad's ears, he will definitely look for Grandma. Even if Mom doesn't give us food in the future, Grandma will still have us to eat. Don't forget that some of our father's comrades often send things to us. Grandma and his brothers have received benefits from the uncles in the army, so they have to support us."
Lu Mingliang was a little anxious when he said this, and he almost jumped up and down. Why didn't his brother understand such a simple truth!
"Mingliang, we are all Lu family now. Don't talk about the past, so as to avoid any trouble." Lu Mingyang reminded him a little seriously.
Lu Mingliang pouted. What trouble could there be? He was used to hearing people say that they were "ungrateful" and "untouchable".
After Shen Meng realized that the two children had left, she gently let go of the two children who were already asleep, let them lie down, and covered their bellies with a thin blanket.
She thought about the surprised look of the two children just now, and couldn't help laughing. It was enough for them to see her goodness. After seeing her goodness, they would be less defensive against her and would be more accepting of her.
She slept with her daughter in her arms in the new house. The life of the old Lu family was not easy. Lu Jiaxuan and Zhou Jiaojiao, who had lived in their hometown for the first day, were very uncomfortable.
Zhou Jiaojiao said nothing. She even worked harder than before at work. She was eager to do the housework, which made Lu Jiaxuan feel guilty. The atmosphere between the two of them was very good after they went to bed last night. When they were about to take the next step, they heard coughing and peeing outside the yard. He knew it was his second brother who went out, so he found a wall.
All desires disappeared in an instant. The embarrassment spread between the two of them. Zhou Jiaojiao turned around and covered herself tightly with the quilt. Her sobs slowly hit Lu Jiaxuan's heart.
At this moment, he looked at the woman who was trying hard to break the corn cobs in the corn field, and felt so distressed. He was thinking about giving his mother a good talk in the evening.
"Brother Jiaxuan, what are you looking at? Sister-in-law has gone far away." Seeing Lu Jiaxuan staring at Zhou Jiaojiao's back, Sun Shanzi couldn't help but tease him.
"Go away, why don't you work hard again?" Now was the busy farming season, and as a warehouse manager, he was also called over to work together. In two days, when the corn was ready, he had to register when it entered the warehouse, so he was very busy.
"No, Brother Jiaxuan, I work very hard. This is what happened. I just came from the field over there and heard from a few old ladies that Shen Meng was not there for lunch in your old yard, but there were a few kids. I was afraid that you and your sister-in-law would be gossiped about, so I hurried over to tell you the news."
Lu Jiaxuan's face darkened slightly, and after a while he glared at Sun Shanzi and said, "What which woman? That's my sister-in-law and niece. "My children, don't say that to them in front of me next time."
Sun Shanzi pouted and said, "Brother Jiaxuan, don't bother me. I just don't like Shen Meng. Why did Auntie spend money and effort to take care of her and the children, and rent a brick and tile house and not let you and sister-in-law live in it? I was so angry when I heard it. This woman is so greedy. Brother Zhenping is the same. Why did he fall in love with such a thing when he married his wife? Too bad!"
"Sun Shanzi, the more you talk, the more outrageous it is. Okay, I know about it, you go and do your work!" Sun Shanzi
grew up with Lu Jiaxuan since childhood, and the two of them were so close that they wore the same trousers. Seeing that Lu Jiaxuan's face was not very good, he simply didn't say anything more. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and turned back.
"Brother Jiaxuan, let me tell you something. I heard that the commune is recruiting people. Isn't the leader there familiar with Brother Zhenping? Write a letter to Brother Zhenping and ask him to help you get things done. Then you will be a regular wage earner. I can't even imagine how comfortable you and your sister-in-law will live in the future."
Lu Jiaxuan's eyebrows moved when he heard his words. Without saying anything, he waved at him.
Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang were small, each carrying a large bundle of firewood. Their faces were covered with sweat. They rolled up their trouser legs and were barefoot. It was heartbreaking for their mothers to see them.
"I heard that the Lu family didn't invite Mingyang and the other kids to eat at noon, and Shen Meng is still lying on the kang. When Doctor Lu went to see her yesterday, she was almost dead. How pitiful."
"What's pitiful about it? She's just a vicious person. She wanted to push Jiaojiao into the river, but she got bumped by a cow. It's her own bad luck."
"Whether she's good or not is none of our business. It's just that these kids have a really hard time. What a sensible kid. I asked Mingliang what he had for lunch, and the kid timidly said it was potatoes cooked by Mingyang. Tell me, what a sin!"
"No way, Aunt Lu is a good person. She was angry at Shen Meng, and she couldn't have taken the kids with her!"
"Haha, who can tell!"
........
Lu Mingyang and Shen Meng listened to the discussion behind them and tacitly kept silent. When they were sending the firewood home again, they saw Shen Meng coming out of the kitchen.
"You're back. There's some warm mung bean soup in the kitchen. Go have some. Don't go pick up firewood yet. Go back to your room and have a rest!"
Although he didn't want to bother with the bad woman, when he heard that there was food, Lu Mingliang threw away the firewood in his hand and ran to the kitchen. There were two bowls of warm mung bean soup on the low table. He took a sip.
"Wow! So sweet!"
