Chapter 266: Let's arrange a baby marriage
Seeing Shen Meng get off the ox cart, Liu Sanjin threw away his crutches, pushed through the crowd, and trotted over. When he got to Shen Meng, he grabbed her hand.
"My dear daughter-in-law, you are really amazing. You have brought shame to our Lu family. Are you tired on the way back? Are you thirsty? Do you want some water? Hurry up and go home. I bought some meat today and will make you something delicious tonight. Hehe, let's go home, go home."
Shen Meng: "........"
Your expression changes so quickly. Before, you looked at me with a different face.
"Mom, my sister-in-law has been in a long meeting at work. She has no strength left. Need your help to walk."
"No, no, no, I'm not that weak. I'm fine. I won't eat. I have things to do at home. It's so late. Everyone should go about their business!"
Even though Shen Meng was shameless, he was embarrassed to face so many eager faces. It felt like they were seeing each other for the first time. Everything was so new to him.
Yu Shirley helped Shen Meng carry her bag. She was also speechless. The news of Shen Meng's creation of a foreign language had already spread in the village. How come it took so long for him to treat people like monkeys? Was his reaction arc so long?
Wu Xianglan stood beside Shen Meng, with her head held high, looking extremely proud, especially when she saw Lu Jiahe in the crowd, she glanced at him and snorted coldly, and the latter shrank his neck and dared not say a word.
The people present were all the talkative aunties in the village, and Liu Sanjin was almost pushed out before he could say anything.
"Xiao Meng, we only heard that you had done meritorious service, great meritorious service, but we didn't expect that it would be in the newspaper!"
"Yes, look at how beautiful the photo in the newspaper is. Shanghai also mentioned our Xiangyang Commune and Lujia Village. Our village is famous."
"Ever since Xiao Meng got married, I knew she was no ordinary person. See, I was right, I always had a good eye and never did anything empty."
"Zhenping is so lucky, but it's a pity that Xiao Meng is the only girl in her family. If she had a younger sister or something, the door would be trampled by the matchmaker!"
"Xiao Meng is not only a good daughter-in-law, but also a good mother. I think Mingyang and Mingliang have taught their children well. My granddaughter is pretty and smart. How about we arrange a baby marriage? Mingyang or Mingliang is fine. We are not picky."
"Why are you not picky? Your granddaughter looks like a black egg, and you still want to marry Mingyang and Mingliang? Go ahead and dream. But my grandson is good. He is in the same class with Mingfang. He always talks about Mingfang's good and bad. You can tell at a glance that his heart is with Mingfang. They can get married in ten years. What do you think, Xiao Meng? When are you going to ask someone to calculate the date?"
..........
Shen Meng's eyes widened. She thought someone would plead with her for a job as a worker in a hair flower factory, and she also thought someone would ask her to do something for them. But she never thought someone would set their sights on a few tiny children. What kind of child marriage is this? It's feudal dregs. Her children are so young, how can they be engaged?
"Aunties, don't talk nonsense. Mingyang's children are still so young, you can't say so. Wouldn't this corrupt the children? Well, Xianglan, here are newspapers. You can read each other's articles. I just want to go home. I'm very tired after a day's work. Shirley, you must support me and go home quickly. I need to lie down quickly to feel better."
"Okay, okay, I'll support you, let's go home quickly. Mingkai stands at the door waiting for you to get off work every day. He will be worried if you are late."
Shen Meng and Yu Shirley supported each other and were about to move forward. Liu Sanjin grabbed Shen Meng's clothes.
"Xiao Meng, did you remember what I told you? Come to my house for dinner tonight. I've bought some special ingredients and made delicious food for you. You have to come tonight. You've lost weight, so I'll have to nourish you well!"
"Mom, I won't go home for dinner. If you miss me, just send me a bowl of rice. I'm really tired and have to go home and rest."
Liu Sanjin looked at Shen Meng's refusal and cursed her in her heart. She was scared now that this matter had become famous, but there were so many people here that she couldn't say much. She just nodded and said a few words of concern.
The others watched Shen Meng and Yu Xueli walking forward and wanted to follow them, but Wu Xianglan stretched out her arm to block them. She had just been pinched by Yu Xueli, so she was considered smart for once.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't chase after my sister-in-law. You've seen that kind of person before. She'll be scared if you surround her like you're watching a show. You can ask me if you have anything to say. I have a good relationship with my sister-in-law. I don't know anything about her. She loves me the most, can't you see? It's me who goes to the county to work with her, and she always thinks of me when something good happens. I bought a lot of newspapers here. If you want to read them, I can give them to you. But they are borrowed, so you have to return them!"
Shen Meng and Yu Shirley trotted all the way to the door of Xie Jinghao's house. The two of them looked back with lingering fear, and they were relieved to see that no one was chasing them.
"Oh my God, older people are different. Not only do they talk a lot, they also dare to touch people. Look at your hands, they are almost bald from being touched."
After hearing her words, Shen Meng rubbed his hands on his clothes somewhat unnaturally.
"Hurry up and take Xiaoya back, close the doors and windows at night, and then go to your sister-in-law's house next door and let her know, send some things, and ask them to help keep an eye on things, so that Laizi won't do anything else."
Yu Shirley sighed. Ever since she took Da Ya and Xiao Ya to the county town, Laizi had brought Dezi to her that day. The love between husband and wife was naturally invincible. He kicked Dezi twice, making her howl hard at the door, hoping that she would soften her heart and come out to see the children. He was sure that Yu Shirley couldn't bear to see the children suffer. The two girls could take care of them so well, so her son must be more distressed.
But he didn't expect that she closed the gate tightly, took the two girls to eat and drink in the house, and didn't come out to see them at all.
Yu Shirley had given up on Dezi, but after all, he was her own flesh and blood. How could she not feel anything when she heard the child crying heartbreakingly outside?
Daya was the first one to be soft-hearted. She was very sad when she heard her brother crying, but she was sensible and didn't say anything sweet in front of Yu Shirley. Even with tears in her eyes, she would eat a few more mouthfuls of rice. This was a habit she developed when she was at Laizi's house. She would only do this when she was nervous.
Dezi had gritted his teeth and didn't cry before, but when he saw that his mother and sisters really didn't come out, and he was increasingly bullied in the village, he became even more sad after he understood things. Even when Laizi pulled him from behind, he didn't want to go. Anyone can bully a child without a mother. He complained about his parents and grandparents.
