Chapter 30: Her little mouth is as sweet as if it had been rubbed with a knife
Earlier, everyone saw with their own eyes that the fourth son of the Lu family and his wife brought meals to Shen Meng and several children. How come they stopped after just one day, leaving a patient and four hungry children out to find food?
Liu Sanjin stamped his feet in anger and pointed at Shen Meng with a trembling hand.
"You are talking nonsense, you old family, you are simply a bad seed. Doctor Lu said that you can't get off the kang for a year or so, and now you can run to the county town. You go to such a far place just like that? When you moved back home, you were also given food, and the birthing team also gave you fine grains and eggs. How could you be so hungry that you let Mingyang and Mingliang go out to catch fish? You are full of lies. Don't you think you have a conscience when you say these things?"
When Shen Meng moved, Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa not only carried their own things to the house, but also asked their family members to come to visit with things. Many people knew about this. Moreover, everyone knew Liu Sanjin's character over the years, and it was impossible for him to do such a thing to torture his daughter-in-law.
"Mom, everyone in this village knows about Dr. Lu's medical skills. Of course, there is no doubt about it. At that time, my health was not very good, and I was afraid that you would not be able to accept it for a while, so I asked him to tell you in advance that it was serious, so that you would be prepared. Otherwise, when the village chief and others came, I would not be able to tell them about the funeral. Zhenping is not at home. If the children lose their mother, I should at least make plans for them in advance. I received a letter from Zhenping yesterday, and I don’t know if it is his last time. I felt very healthy after returning home. I went to the county town. I had a headache when I came back. I lay down on the kang as soon as I got home. There was still some food at home, but I couldn't bear to eat it. If I leave, the children in Mingyang won't learn to take care of themselves. Even if I die, I will have to crawl out of the grave and cry. "
Liu Sanjin: "........"
Lick your bear face, the children are so big, when will they rely on you!!!
"Hey, mother, did you come here just to scold me? I thought, cough cough cough... I thought you came here to see the children and me. Didn't I ask Jinghao to bring you the pension money sent by Zhenping? And the vermicelli and mushrooms from southern Yunnan, Mingyang also brought them to you when he went out!"
"Nonsense, I didn't see Mingyang at all when I came here, Shen Meng. Those were the things my son sent. There was originally a copy for us two old people. And you didn't even show me the letter written by Zhenping. What are you thinking? Just because you delivered dinner a little late, you dared to let the children go fishing in the river so late at night. Are you a mother like this?"
Shen Meng was staggering and about to fall. She almost leaned against the door frame to listen to Liu Sanjin's lecture. The people who had been watching on the side were terrified, fearing that Liu Sanjin would force Shen Meng to death with a harsh word.
"Auntie, calm down. We are a family and can't talk it out nicely!"
"Yes, auntie. You are usually the kindest person. It's scary when you get angry. Zhenping is your son and he must miss you very much. Xiaomeng, go get the letter and let your mother see it."
"Xiaomeng, go quickly and don't make your mother-in-law angry. She misses her son. Can you do it? If not, let Mingfang get it. Hey, uncle, go and see if there are Mingyang and Mingliang by the river. Auntie is right. It's getting dark soon. It's a bit dangerous."
...
Shen Meng looked at Liu Sanjin's stiff face and sneered in his heart. You were asked to establish your character, but now you can't even throw a tantrum. You're so mad, you old woman!
"Mingyang and Mingliang went with Yongjun, and took a bath on the way. It's okay, mother, wait for me, I'll get the letter now."
Shen Meng turned around and staggered towards the yard. Now the people who had just been persuading them were no longer encouraged. The person's body was in such a state, and they were still forcing them to go back to get the letter. Any sensible person should let them go back and rest now.
It's good now. It's stuck at this time, and they really can't leave even if they want to.
After a while, Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang, like mud monkeys, were happily walking home with a small grass carp in their hands. From a distance, they saw a group of people standing at the door of their house.
"Grandma, why are you here? What happened?"
Liu Sanjin was given a cold stare. Seeing that Lu Mingyang was very affectionate, he went up and hugged him in his arms, squeezing Lu Mingliang next to him and making him step back two steps.
"My dear grandson, my dear grandson, you are so brave. Why didn't you go to grandma when you were hungry? You just listened to your mother and dared to go to the river in the middle of the night. What if you got something?"
She said, looking up and down at Lu Mingyang.
"Grandma, I'm fine. Mingliang and I followed Uncle Yongjun. Uncle Yongjun even gave us two fish!" When Lu Mingyang said this, his voice was full of joy. Since he got the things bought by Shen Meng today, he has been in a good mood.
His mother has been fine for several days, and he just wants her to stay fine forever, and never go back to her original state.
Lu Yongjun smiled foolishly, "While taking a shower, I caught so many big fish. Haha, your two grandsons are really filial, and they care about their mother. They want to catch a fish for her to eat to replenish her body. Well, it's getting late, I'm going home now." The
neighbors who had been embarrassed and didn't leave just now saw Lu Yongjun carrying a bucket and leaving, not caring why there were so many people here, and didn't ask what happened. He just explained and left. While blaming him, they were really envious in their hearts. Such an unkind guy sometimes lives without worries.
"Mingyang, your mother said that your father sent vermicelli and mushrooms, and you and Mingliang gave grandma a bag. Is that true?"
"No, grandma..."
Liu Sanjin's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I knew that she was not kind enough to think of giving me the things sent by my son. If she was really willing to do so, she should have taken out the letter written by Zhenping and the receipt for the repayment, and took them all out for me to see. I have treated her as my own daughter for so many years, but she is so good, guarding against me everywhere, as if I would covet her things. I really..."
"No, grandma. Those things were not sent by my father. They were special products from southern Yunnan sent by uncles in the army. Many times in the past, they were sent by uncles in the army. Dad doesn't send much allowance normally, so didn't mom give you pension money first every time? There are also food coupons, cloth coupons, and kerosene coupons. Grandma, you always say that life is hard at home, and ask mom to think about the family. She also treats you as her own mother, and she thinks of you when she has good things!"
Lu Mingliang was panicking and tried his best to calm himself. He didn't know anything else, but his family should keep as much of the things that his father and uncles mailed back as possible, because they all belonged to their eldest wife.
Shen Meng held the letter in his hand and listened to Lu Mingliang's words and called him a good guy. He was indeed a person who could resell imported goods in the future. He had a bright mind since he was young, and his little mouth was as sweet as a knife.
