Chapter 42: Put the knife at ease
Shen Meng held Lu Mingyang's trembling body. How strong could a nine-year-old child be?
Wu Xianglan, who was lying on the ground and rolling in pain, looked at the mother and son hugging each other with a fierce look. She pulled Yongqiang and Yongli over and asked them to stand behind her.
"Shen Meng, look at how your son bit my arm. This matter is not over. After all, they are bastards from outside. They eat the Lu family's food and live in the Lu family. In the end, they dare to bully the legitimate Lu family. I must tell my parents-in-law to drive these bastards out. You must also learn a lesson. We haven't divided the family yet. You are just thinking about outsiders. Wait for you!" She yelled at Shen Meng like a madman.
The two children, Lu Mingliang and Lu Mingfang, looked at Shen Meng in fear, fearing that she would abandon them if her grandparents took charge.
Shen Meng turned her head, glared at her and yelled, "Get out of
here quickly, or I'll make you pay." She let go of Lu Mingyang and led him to Xie Jinghao. At this time, Xie Jinghao was the most important. She was still pregnant with her child, who was only seven months old. This was the time when she needed to be most careful.
"Jinghe, Jinghe, are you okay? Hold me and have a good rest on the kang first. I have medicine in my room. I was afraid that your pregnancy was unstable, so I went to the county town to get you some medicine to keep you healthy. Let's go quickly. Mingyang will pour a cup of warm water for your aunt."
The little boy was still crying, but he knew that this was not the time to cry and feel sad. He listened to his mother's instructions and hurried to pour water. Xiaogang was so scared that he cried when he saw his mother's uncomfortable look.
The screams and noises in Shen Meng's yard woke up the neighbors on both sides to come out and watch. Some even stepped on their own walls and stretched their necks to watch, but the moon tonight was really not good and it was not clear at all.
After Shen Meng entered the room, she rummaged through the kang cabinet to find the pregnancy-preserving medicine, and found a piece of ginseng for her to hold in her mouth for a while.
"Sister-in-law, I'm a little scared. Will there be any problem with the baby?"
"Don't talk nonsense. It will be fine after taking the medicine. You lie down first and relax. I'll take care of everything. Don't be nervous. If you are nervous, the baby in your belly will feel uncomfortable, and Xiaogang will be scared too. I'll go out and take a look. If you are worried, let's go to the county hospital tomorrow morning and let the doctor take a look."
Xie Jing stroked her belly, trying to keep her mind calm. She took a few deep breaths, and her tense belly felt better.
She reached out and took Xiaogang and Xiaokai. The two children huddled together in fear, looking at her bulging belly quietly.
"Mingfang, Mingfang, Mingyang, you all take good care of your third aunt. I'm going to go out and take a look. Call me if anything happens!"
"Mom, I'll go with you." Lu Mingyang was about to go out, but Shen Meng grabbed his hand.
"Mom will go by herself. Don't worry. Your second aunt is no match for me."
Shen Meng said and walked out, then closed the door of the east room tightly.
The commotion here was really big. The village chief Lu Debang was called over. When he shone the flashlight, everyone saw the blood on Wu Xianglan's arm.
"Village chief, you have to make the decision for me. I came to my aunt's house to play, but Mingyang chased me away. I said a few words to him, and he came up to bite me. He is just an untamed wolf cub. I should say he should be sent away. He eats and drinks our food, and in the end he bit me. Everyone, tell me what we are doing this for. Ouch, it hurts so much. And Mingliang and Mingfang, those two cubs, came up and beat Yongqiang and Yongli. Look at what happened to the two kids, and my sister-in-law doesn't care."
Lu Debang hissed as he saw this. This kid was too cruel. How much hatred and resentment must he have to bite his aunt like this.
"What did you say to him that made him bite you like this?"
"That's right, you must have said something to him. Mingyang is a very sensible child and greets everyone he sees. If you hadn't said such harsh words, he definitely wouldn't have done that."
"You can't say that. I heard that those children didn't have a good life when they were at home. They have lived here for many years. It's not right for adults to be angry with them. Maybe they are bad at heart. I didn't notice it before, but now that they are older, their tempers are revealed."
"Yes, I heard that these three children are from three different families. Their fathers died a long time ago, and their mothers either ran away or died. Tell me, isn't it unlucky? I'm afraid they have a hard life and are born to bring bad luck to their parents. You see Zhenping hasn't been back for many years, and I don't know how he is doing?"
.......
Wu Xianglan stiffened her neck as she listened to people's discussions,
"Who said it wasn't? It's weird. My sister-in-law used to look down on these kids. She was filial to her parents-in-law and had a good relationship with them. But since she was bullied by the bull, she has become a different person. I'm afraid it's these little ones..."
"Shut up, Wu Xianglan. If you say anything about my kids again, I'll fight you today." Shen Meng stood at the gate of his own yard with a kitchen knife in his hand.
The people outside who were just talking about it were so scared that they dared not say anything. Wu Xianglan was even more frightened. Yongqiang and Yongli cried and hid behind her.
People from the Lu family also came over at this time. Liu Sanjin walked with her feet panting. She even buttoned two buttons of her clothes incorrectly.
"What a sin, what are you doing, eldest brother's wife? You dare to hold a knife in front of the village chief. You are causing trouble. Where are the militia? They will arrest you soon."
"Sister-in-law, put down the knife quickly. We are all family. Why are you fighting?" Zhou Jiaojiao's eyes were bright and the muscles on her face were twitching slightly. She stretched out her hands, not knowing whether she wanted Shen Meng to take action or not.
Lu Debang's face was also very ugly. As the head of the village, he was not given any dignity by Shen Meng. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not do anything. He was still thinking about what Zhang Hongfa said to him before.
"Arrest me? The militia should arrest not me, but Wu Xianglan. She took advantage of my absence and brought her two children to my house to eat my food, beat and scolded my children, and scared Jinghao into having a miscarriage. Now she is still lying on my kang. But Wu Xianglan, instead of calling a doctor for Jinghao after leaving the hospital, or asking her mother to come and see her, she started making plans at the door. Is there anything a sister-in-law can do?
" "What? Jinghao had a miscarriage? Oh my baby grandson, this is Jiasheng's second child, and he is still working outside. Nothing can go wrong. You, why didn't you say it earlier?"
Liu Sanjin said as he hurriedly ran towards Shen Meng's house, pointing at Shen Meng as he spoke, as if she was the culprit of all this.
Shen Meng looked at her like she was crazy. This old lady must have a lot of water in her head.
