Chapter 35: Human brains beat dog brains
It was the same with Xifeng. She hadn't talked to Shen Meng much during this period. When her son went out to play, he actually gave her a bag of dumplings. Gao Gao repeated Mingliang's words. The couple were very happy. They knew in their hearts that Shen Meng had really changed for the better and would live a down-to-earth life in the future.
"Boss, Zhenping's wife lives with four children alone. Third Auntie is not as good as everyone says. When you are not busy, you are busy delivering firewood and fetching water. It can be regarded as helping Zhenping, right?"
Lu Yongjun nodded repeatedly, took the dumplings from Gao Gao, picked up one and fed it to Xifeng.
"Hey, I know. You eat first. Wake up the girl and let her eat two too. Mingyang's mother gave so much. You can tell at a glance that it's for all of us. Hurry up."
"Okay."
A meeting was held in the threshing ground. The tense autumn harvest was over. After the grain in the warehouse was handed over to the public levy, the remaining grain should be distributed. This time, not much will be distributed, and the bulk will be distributed at the end of the year.
Shen Meng planned to go out from today. She carried a dustpan on her shoulder, held Mingkai in one hand, and held a shovel for mowing in the other. Mingfang also followed them in clean clothes.
Before they had walked far, Wu Xianglan, who was leaning against the wall cracking pumpkin seeds, greeted her.
"Sister-in-law is well now, what are you doing?"
In the original novel, Wu Xianglan is Zhou Jiaojiao's lackey. Shen Meng didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but she thought that she was simple-minded and gossipy, and was easy to instigate. Maybe she could be useful in the future.
"Yes, I've felt much better these days. I thought I couldn't keep her every day, so I went to cut some grass to dry it and save it for kindling later."
Wu Xianglan looked at Shen Meng, as well as Lu Mingkai and Lu Mingfang. She hadn't seen them for a long time. Not only did Shen Meng look better, but the children were also dressed better and had better food. She remembered what her fourth brother's wife said, that the sister-in-law was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, deliberately wanting to take away the brick and tile house, and occupy the things sent back by the eldest brother in the future.
"Sister-in-law, you see I've been very busy these days and have no time to visit you. Please don't mind it, sister-in-law!"
"That can't be possible. You have to go to work every day and take care of the children after work
. They are all family, there's nothing to be surprised about. Xianglan, why didn't you go to work today?" Wu Xianglan smiled and said to Shen Meng, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, Second Aunt's family had a fight early this morning, and it was a severe fight. Second Aunt caught Sister Lianhua and beat her up. The two children, Daqing and Erqing, were so scared that they hugged their sister and cried. Brother Yonggang didn't even protect her, and he even helped his mother carry the broom. Hey, I've never seen a man behave like this."
Shen Meng frowned. Why didn't she believe it at all? If the fight was really severe, the news would have spread throughout the village long ago.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you hear? Let me tell you, the second aunt scolded and beat her behind closed doors. I happened to hear it when I went out to pick vegetables early in the morning. I leaned over the wall and saw, wow, she was beaten beyond recognition. The eldest and his wife even exaggerated and scolded Sister Lianhua. We have a good relationship as sisters-in-law. Not only do we have no grudges in the past, but the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also good. Sister-in-law, has any brother sent back the tickets this time? The colder it gets, the weaker I feel. Hehehe, sister-in-law, can you lend me two sugar tickets?"
"Your elder brother has saved a little money, nothing else. We have no sugar in our house. Look at these two children, their faces are yellow, they are in need of sugar. Tell your sister-in-law why Sister Lianhua was beaten?"
Wu Xianglan was a little unhappy. Why is this woman so mean now? Not only does she not want to lend the bill, but she also wants to hear gossip. This is a hard-core rooster that will not be plucked.
"Humph, it's Wang Lianhua's little daughter. She was eating a dumpling made of two ounces of flour early in the morning. Her aunt Zhao Jingui saw it. Didn't she say that their second room hid food? They beat her up."
Shen Meng opened her mouth, and Mingfang's little hand behind her grabbed her clothes vigorously. She let go of Mingkai and patted her lightly.
"Xianglan, you are busy, I won't go to cut grass, Mingkai, Mingfang, let's go quickly."
"Hey, sister-in-law, where are you going? You haven't explained the sugar issue clearly yet?" Wu Xianglan called Shen Meng several times but she didn't see him turn around. She was so angry that she spat on the ground and said, "You run faster than a rabbit. You don't look sick at all. You are obviously fine, but you are pretending to be a bitch."
Shen Meng dragged the two children to Chen Zhaodi's house. She gave the dumplings to Wang Lianhua to thank her for taking care of the children. But if she hurt them because of her action, it would be her fault.
Wang Lianhua lay on the kang and groaned, while Chen Zhaodi stood at her door, jumping and cursing.
"You lowlife, you stinky bastard, you are the reincarnation of a starving ghost, you son of a bitch, you dare to hide my food and money, I have only eaten meat dumplings made of two-grain flour a few times in my life, and you dare to secretly wrap them and eat them, and you, a loser, have good things but don't think about your brothers and sisters, but only think about filling your own mouth, is this something you can eat? You will be a spilled water in the future, eat one more bite of my Lu family's food "You are taking advantage of others, we feed you with good food and drink, but you are imitating your bitch mother at such a young age. If you dare to steal again, I will beat you to death."
Yaoyao was trembling with fear, hiding in the arms of her two brothers and not daring to say a word. Daqing and Erqing gritted their teeth and dared not say that they took it from Shen Meng. Their mother was beaten to death, but their father went to work as if nothing had happened.
"Wuwu, wuwu, grandma, stop scolding us, we know we were wrong, those dumplings were given by someone else, they were definitely not the food and money hidden by my mother, where did my mother have the money, grandma, stop scolding us."
"Hmph, Daqing, you can't be confused, you are a boy, the grandson of the Lu family, you can't be like your mother and sister, they are outsiders after all."
"They are outsiders, but who are you, is your surname Lu? Your surname is not Lu, your surname is Zhao, Zhao Jingui, aren't you an outsider yourself?" Shen Meng listened at the door for a while and became more and more angry. He kicked open Chen Zhaodi's door.
With a clang, the half-opened wooden door that had been in disrepair for a long time was kicked and hung crookedly, almost falling to the ground.
"Oh, my dear parents, I was scared to death. What are you doing here, Shen Meng? This is my family's business. What does it have to do with you? You haven't even cleaned up your shit yet, and you come to our house to make trouble."
Chen Zhaodi has always looked down on Shen Meng, thinking that Liu Sanjin, the eldest daughter-in-law, is cunning, especially since they are all grandsons of the Lu family. All of Liu Sanjin's sons are outstanding. Not to mention that Lu Zhenping is doing well in the army, even Lu Jiaxuan is a warehouse manager in the production team.
I don't know how many people outside think they can't compare to Liu Sanjin.
"Second Aunt, I'm not here to make trouble. I'm here to fight for justice. My husband is a soldier and I'm a military family member. When I see something unfair, I have to intervene. Mingfang, go and call the village head and the women's director over and tell them that someone is abusing women. Your Aunt Lianhua is going to die."
"Okay, I'll go right away." The little girl agreed and ran faster than a rabbit. She disappeared in a flash.
Chen Zhaodi shouted but no one responded. She could only stare at Shen Meng fiercely.
"You are asking for death, what are you doing in my house?"
