Chapter 260: I didn’t mean it
When Wang Lianhua followed Shen Meng into the main hall, she was very nervous. After the hair flower factory was established, she had also looked for Guo Xiuqin. Before, Lu Yonggang went to the workshop to beat people up when he was drunk. Although it was a bit ugly, it was not the couple who caused Shen Meng to be fired. She still wanted to make money as a hair flower maker. Even if it was a temporary job, she could make more than ten yuan a month. If they could split up the family, the money she earned alone could support the family well, and then Lu Yonggang would not beat her anymore.
But Guo Xiuqin didn't let her go. She knew exactly what kind of life she was living, and how Lu Yonggang treated her and her children. She was willing to help before, so why didn't she want to now? Those who had offended and scolded Shen Meng before could go back to work in the factory, so why couldn't she?
For this, Lu Yonggang beat her up again. She had almost spent all the money she had earned as a hairdresser before, and she was really angry!
It was only when Daqing suddenly mentioned Mingyang that she remembered that the hairpin factory was so prosperous and could create foreign exchange because of Shen Meng. Yes, Shen Meng was kind to Mingyang's children and took special care of her family. As long as Shen Meng said so, no one could stop her from entering the hairpin factory, not even Guo Xiuqin.
She looked at Shen Meng's back, nervous but also with a little expectation.
Wang Lianhua's throat moved slightly, wanting to suppress her voice and show weakness to Shen Meng, but she didn't expect Shen Meng to turn around and slap her hard in the face.
"Pah!"
"Ah~!"
Wang Lianhua covered her face and looked at Shen Meng in disbelief. The faint smile on the corner of her mouth was still there. She froze in place. Xifeng, who was holding Yaoyao in the west room, trembled a little and put Yaoyao on the stool in a panic.
"Yaoyao, be good, sit here for a while. Auntie will go to the main hall to get you some hot water. I'll be back in a while. Mingkai, please keep an eye on your sister!"
"Auntie, I'm scared, um!"
"Sister is not scared, brother is not a cannibal. You can eat cake here, and go to sleep on the kang when you are tired. Look, your brother Erqing is here. Auntie, go, remember to come back soon, otherwise I will be scared too."
Xifeng: ".......Hey!"
She tried to walk steadily towards the main hall. With smart parents, this child is not bad, as smart as a monkey.
Wang Lianhua covered her face and looked at Shen Meng with red eyes.
"You, what are you doing? Even if Erqing has a fever, it's not my fault. Why did you hit me?"
"Why did I hit you? Don't you know what's going on, Wang Lianhua? I always thought you were weak and incompetent. I asked Jinghao, Shirley and Xiangxiang to help you, but I didn't expect that everyone had misjudged you. How are you weak? Now look, no one is as cruel as you. Those purple pinch marks on Erqing's body, don't you say you don't know who caused them?"
Wang Lianhua hesitated for a moment and didn't speak for a long time. Xifeng heard what she said when she walked into the main room.
"What, what did you say, Sister Meng?"
"Humph, don't worry about what I said. Ask her what good thing she did. Lu Yonggang can beat people, but would a grown man like him pinch a child? Those scars are either on the waist, buttocks, or chest. Who else could do all this except Wang Lianhua?" Shen
Meng knew that some women would suffer mental problems due to domestic violence. They would transfer their misfortune to their children. This was Erqing. She didn't know if Yaoyao and Daqing would have the same problem. Thinking about how Daqing came to plead for Wang Lianhua in the morning, she felt depressed and wished she could hit Wang Lianhua a few more times.
"Sister-in-law, is what my sister-in-law Meng said true? Did you really treat Erqing like this?"
Wang Lianhua stiffened her neck and wanted to retort, but when she saw the expressions of Xifeng and Shen Meng, the breath in her heart suddenly dissipated, and she collapsed to the ground with exhaustion.
"I, I didn't mean it. I was just scared after being beaten. Daqing, Erqing and Yaoyao kept crying in front of me. I felt so miserable all these years. If it weren't for the children, I would have run away long ago. I cared so much about them, but they couldn't help me at all and cried in front of me every day. I still had to wash their clothes, cook for them and put them to sleep. Woohoo, I really didn't mean it. They are my children. I beat them and I regret it very much. Really, I regret it very much. I feel miserable. I really feel miserable. I don't know when this kind of life will end. Woohoo, sometimes I really want to hit my head against a wall and die. Woohoo..."
"What are you thinking? What are you thinking? That's your child, your child. How can you be so cruel to the child? You resisted when you were beaten. Go beat whoever beat you. Why don't you resist? Put a knife across Lu Yonggang's neck and scare him a few more times. If that doesn't work, break his legs and see if he dares to bully you again. No wonder Sister Meng would help Daya Niang but not you. People like you don't even help when they extend a hand. I know about this today. If you dare to bully children again in the future, just wait. I, I, I will go to the police to sue you. I will let the whole village know how cruel you are. Humph!"
Shen Meng: "........"
Although the words were a bit harsh, it was still a solution!!!
"Sister-in-law Meng, don't worry. I will check the three children every morning and evening to see if they have any injuries. If I find out again, I will make a big fuss. I am not a good mother."
"Well, I feel relieved with you around. The hair flower factory has been established, and you don't have to go to Shenjiaji anymore. After Xiangxiang gets married, she will help me look after it. You can learn to read more from Daqing and Erqing when you have time. I also want you to help me manage the hair flower factory. You can't do it if you don't know how to read."
Xifeng is a very smart, kind and righteous person. Shen Meng herself feels it's a pity if such a person is not reused.
"Hey, I'm fine. As long as you think I'm useful, sister-in-law, I will study hard."
Xifeng smiled at Shen Meng, and she didn't even look at Wang Lianhua who was lying on the ground, and turned around and walked out of the hall.
Wang Lianhua cried, her heart was very complicated, she had resentment towards Shen Meng but she dared not hate him, because he could crush her to death with just one finger, if she offended Shen Meng, she would not have any good chance to make money in the future.
"Shirley was beaten by the lepers a lot in those years, and the people in the village were disgusted when they saw her, as if they wanted to dirty their eyes if they looked at her one more time, but even though she suffered so much, she never touched Da Ya and Xiao Ya with one finger, and every time the two children were bullied, she would desperately protect them. I lamented that her situation was so bad, but she still thought about her children, such a motherly love, why shouldn't I help, Wang Lianhua, do you think you can compare with her?"
