Chapter 39: A ghost fell down
When Shen Meng brought Xiao Kai into the house, Xifeng was feeding Wang Lianhua porridge. The dim kerosene lamp shone on the faces of the two people, and the eyebrows and eyes were not very real.
"Sister-in-law Meng is here, come in quickly." Xifeng put down the bowl in her hand, called Shen Meng into the house, and then ran out to pour a bowl of warm water.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down. There is no hot water kettle in my second sister-in-law's room. This is poured in my room. You drink some, the temperature is just right!" "
No hurry, no hurry, I just came to see Sister-in-law Lianhua. It's my fault. I didn't think it through and let Sister-in-law Lianhua suffer."
Wang Lianhua leaned against the kang cabinet, wearing a headscarf on her head, and her face was covered with colorful patches, which looked a bit creepy.
"Sister, what are you talking about? You are kind-hearted. You gave such good things to Daqing and Erqing, and brought some to me and Xifeng. I heard from the children that they still eat white flour and meat dumplings. Sister, you are really willing to give them away. If they were left in someone else's house, they would not be so generous." Wang Lianhua said hesitantly, her body was throbbing with pain, and she spoke weakly.
Xifeng nodded at the side. She also ate a lot of dumplings yesterday. They tasted amazing. She had never eaten such delicious dumplings in her life. They looked like they were made of two-grain flour, but she could tell that there was more white flour and less corn flour.
"I heard that your mother-in-law and your eldest sister-in-law compensated you three yuan. You must hide the money well, or they will find it and take it away."
"Hey, sister, don't worry, I hid it carefully. My mother-in-law is a hard-nosed person. It's a pity for you to pluck your feathers this time. Otherwise, I would have been beaten for nothing."
When Wang Lianhua said this, her nose twitched slightly, and she cried heavily.
Shen Meng shook her head and took out the things in the basket.
"Here is half a pound of brown sugar and a pound of cake. I originally wanted to take eggs, but I was afraid that your second aunt would use the eggs to make trouble. This is what I asked someone to buy before. You hide it and eat it."
"That won't do, sister. I've already eaten your dumplings. If I want you to give me so many things again, we can't meet again. Such precious things are hard to buy. You can't waste them on me."
Shen Meng stuffed the things into Wang Lianhua's hands and held her hand tightly.
"Don't make excuses. I used to be unruly, but you have taken good care of the children, and I am grateful. After all, we are cousins and sisters-in-law. We should visit each other more often in the future!"
Wang Lianhua was about to refuse Shen Meng, but Xifeng smiled and said, "Just take it, sister-in-law. This is Sister-in-law Meng's intention. She is right. We are sisters and sisters-in-law. We should visit each other more often in the future." Since
both of them said so, Wang Lianhua didn't know what to say. She took out three egg cakes in front of the two of them, gave half to each of the children, and Xifeng locked the rest in the kang cabinet.
"That's right, but I still have something to say. If Sister Lianhua and Xifeng think what I said is wrong, can they just pretend that I never said it?"
"You just said that we are sisters, why are you being polite again? Xiao Meng, just speak frankly, we are listening!" We
didn't have much contact with her before, but since Shen Meng kowtowed to him, he has become much kinder and more humane, and he doesn't embarrass others when he speaks. He is also knowledgeable and polite in everything. If you make friends with such a person, you will definitely gain a lifelong friendship.
"Then I'll be frank, Sister-in-law Lianhua, Second Aunt is not an easy person to get along with. You two daughters-in-law know this in your hearts, but Zhao Jingui can get along well with her. Besides the fact that they are from the same place, Zhao Jingui can stand on his own. Xifeng is better than you, Sister-in-law, Daqing and Erqing are both good kids. They are boys, and the Lu family will not make things difficult for them. But Yaoyao is a girl, and she was scared today. Sister-in-law, this is not... It's about a dumpling. They know in their hearts that you didn't hide any food or money. They just bully you because you are easy to bully. If you still have this temper, it will affect Yaoyao's life. "
Shen Meng's words made Xifeng and Wang Lianhua stunned. They both looked at Yaoyao who was watching Xiaokai, Daqing and Erqing playing. It seemed that Yaoyao had been depressed since the morning noise. There was no expression on her face. She didn't eat much at lunch.
Wang Lianhua regretted it very much. Many people came to see her this afternoon. Xifeng was busy greeting people and taking care of her. Neither of them noticed Yaoyao's situation.
"Thanks to your reminder, I didn't notice it. Hey, it's so late now, why hasn't the child's father come back yet? If he came back, could he..."
"What else can he do? Help you take care of the child? Second sister-in-law, you were beaten like this today, aren't you awake yet? No wonder people always say that those in power are confused while bystanders can see clearly. Sister-in-law Meng is right. Why did you get so confused? It's because your man is unreliable. Second brother runs around everywhere every day, and I don't know what's going on all day long. I tell you, if you dare to give the things that Sister-in-law Meng gave you to second brother, I will not care about you."
Wang Lianhua was a little embarrassed. She held on and didn't say a word. Shen Meng saw that it was almost time. The children needed to take a bath when she got home. Xie Jinghao was still making clothes for the children, so she couldn't stay any longer.
"Okay, I'll go back. Oh, by the way, this is the safflower oil that Zhenping sent from southern Yunnan. Xifeng, go back and rub it on Sister Lianhua to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
"Hey, thank you, Sister Meng. I won't see you off. When my second sister-in-law is better and can get out of bed, we will go to play with you together!"
"Okay, you go back!"
After Shen Meng had sex again, Xifeng went back to the room with the safflower oil. Wang Lianhua was lying on the bed with a distant look in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xifeng sighed, put the safflower oil on the kang table, and said faintly, "I never thought that Sister Lianhua is so sober now. In the past, she was either busy trying to please Third Aunt or those Hu sisters. They are said to be military dependents, but in fact they are not even members of the Lu family. The old mother who was married back to take care of the children is different now. She gets along well with the children. Mingyang and his family will treat her as their own mother in the future. She was stunned. She will definitely live a better life in the future. Second sister-in-law, you see, Sister Meng is living a good life. You should also think more about yourself and the children. "
Wang Lianhua didn't say anything. She felt mixed emotions in her heart and didn't know what to do for a while.
Shen Meng took Lu Mingkai home. It was already dark. The boy was a little scared and stayed close to his mother.
Suddenly, he saw a black shadow fell to the ground. He froze suddenly and tugged at Shen Meng's clothes with a trembling voice.
"Mom, a ghost fell down, did you see it?"
Shen Meng was startled by what the kid said, and almost dragged the child to hide in the space. She was actually a little scared, especially on this country road, there were no street lights, the moonlight was not very bright, the yellow leaves on the trees on both sides of the road rustled, and the occasional chirping of insects and birds made her feel a little nervous. After Lu Mingkai reminded her, she also saw the "ghost" in the kid's mouth.
