Chapter 50: Everyone is staring at her money bag
Uncle Guai drove the ox cart and sent the person to the door directly. He ate two big meat buns from Shen Meng today, and now he had endless energy. Not only did he help to carry the children down one by one, but he also sent the things bought on the cart to the main hall.
"Zhenping's wife, I'll go back then. Haha, if you go to the county town again next time, call me again!"
Shen Meng hurriedly grabbed a handful of candy from the bag and stuffed it into Uncle Guai's hand.
"Uncle Guai, take it home to play with the child. I won't have to trouble you next time. Jing will give birth in a few months. If I go to the county town then, I will still have to trouble you." "
Oh, where can I take so much? Just give me two." With so many candies, he felt a little embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned he was.
"Just take it. You've been tired all day. You should go back and have a rest early!"
Uncle Guai happily stuffed the candy into his pocket, said hello to the children and Xie Jinghao, and then hurried away on the ox cart. After Shen Meng packed up the things, she asked Lu Mingyang to take his younger brothers and sisters to wash their hands, and then ran out to play with them.
"Jinghao, I'll take you home. Don't let them say anything unpleasant, you won't be able to handle it."
"It's okay, sister-in-law. I thought about it for a long time last night and felt that what you said was very right. I have to stand up, even if not for myself, but for Xiaogang and the baby in my belly. You've been tired all day, so take a rest!"
Shen Meng glanced at her, then packed up the things and medicine for her, packed them in a package, and put them on her shoulder.
"Xiao Gang, go home with your mother. Come to our house for dinner tomorrow. Auntie will stew pig's trotters for you."
"Wow~ OK, thank you, auntie, you are so nice."
Xiao Gang has been with his brothers and sisters for a long time. Like Xiao Kai, he has learned to flatter people from Lu Mingliang. His mouth is as sweet as honey and he can say it easily.
"Your mouth is so sweet. I will ask your brother Mingyang to bring you delicious food tonight."
Xie Jinghao smiled and took Xiao Gang home with the child.
The atmosphere in the Lu family was not good and very awkward. When Xie Jinghao entered the yard, everyone in the family looked at her.
In fact, she was also a little puzzled. It was only the afternoon. Why didn't the Zhou family go to work again? They were not afraid that they would not get much food and meat at the end of the year.
Wu Xianglan felt guilty and embarrassed when she looked at her. Normally, she acted like a sister-in-law, and the relationship between the two of them was not bad. But yesterday, she made her pregnant. She was just greedy, and she didn't really mean to hurt Xie Jinghao.
After a moment of hesitation, she still smiled stiffly and said, "Jinghao, you went to the hospital. What did the doctor say? Why did you bring back such a big bag of medicine? Is it serious?"
She is also a mother. If Xie Jinghao's child really got into trouble because of her, she would have nightmares every day!
Xie Jinghao blinked for a moment, pursed her lips, and looked at her a little sadly.
"The doctor said the baby is injured. We'll probably have to go to the hospital for a caesarean section when it's born. I'm still in pain, so I'll go back to the room first."
Wu Xianglan looked at Xie Jinghao's back with a pale face. Lu Jiahe snorted coldly at this time.
"Wu Xianglan, I tell you, if something happens to your sister-in-law's child and Jiasheng makes a fuss, I won't stand by you."
Wu Xianglan didn't dare to talk back. She turned her head and glanced at Zhou Jiaojiao as if asking for help, but the latter didn't even look at her, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Lu Jiahe cursed at Wu Xianglan. He had already taught her a lesson last night. This woman always embarrassed him. If a woman doesn't listen, just beat her up, but no matter what, he can't hurt the relationship between him and his brother.
He was very anxious. He had not worked all day and had lost all his work points for the day. At the end of the year, his share of food would definitely be much less, so he was a little anxious.
"Mom, if my eldest brother wants to divide this family, then let him do it. I've already given her the food and money last time. Just go to her house and tell her. We all have separate stoves to eat anyway. It's no different from dividing the family. But the private plot cannot be given to Shen Meng. That woman is a lazy bum. Can she grow good crops?"
Liu Sanjin's heart was bleeding. If the family was divided, her family would have a lot less income. Not only would the gifts from the village cadres and county leaders during festivals be sent to the eldest wife, but she would also have trouble keeping the money from the things sent by the army. She would have to rely on Zhenping's three yuan a month for her pension in the future. Life would be very tight. How could she feel at ease?
"Mom, Jiaxuan's matter is urgent. The salary of a commune clerk is seven yuan a month. This is a lucrative job. Many people with connections are eyeing it. If he fails this time, he doesn't know how long he will have to wait. Mom, the eldest brother and his wife are still your son and daughter-in-law. If there is any problem at home, they can't give up their responsibilities."
Lu Jiaxuan and Liu Sanjin talked about the powerful relationship in the house early in the morning. He was also very nervous. If his mother was unwilling to separate the family, his dream of being a clerk would be shattered.
"Mom, there is a long time to live. We brothers can also be filial to you."
Lu Jiahe looked at the fourth brother and his wife who kept urging his mother to separate the family. After thinking for a while, he also agreed.
"Mom, it's not easy for the fourth son to have such a good opportunity. You should divide the family. I still say the same thing. The private plot cannot be divided. If you want to divide it, you have to give something to our second and third rooms. You can't let the first room and the fourth son get all the benefits!"
Lu Jiahe has never cared about these things. Today, I don't know what happened. The whole person seems very anxious.
Liu Sanjin had already thought about dividing the family, but he didn't expect that at this moment, his second son, who always knew how to work, would ask for benefits from him.
"Second brother, what did you say?"
"Mom, don't look at me like that. I'm just a laborer at home. I don't have the skills like the third brother, the knowledge like the fourth brother, and I'm not as good as the eldest brother. I just want to go to work and get regular work points, and it's okay as long as I can eat. But mom, if you live with the eldest brother or the fourth brother in the future, then we in the second house will starve to death, right? You can give me a little bit of your money and let Xianglan make a pair of new shoes for the children, okay?"
Wu Xianglan's eyes lit up, and her resentment towards Lu Jiahe disappeared without a trace at this moment. Although this man was not considerate, he was also calculating and thought about his wife and children.
After Lu Jiahe brought it up, the hall fell silent. The Lu family's money had always been in Liu Sanjin's hands. Now that they were going to divide up the old family, everyone in the family was eyeing her money bag. How could she not be angry?
