Chapter 77: Separation and living alone
When the ox cart arrived at the Lu family's house, there were quite a few people standing at the door. They were all aunts and grandmas who were good friends with Xie Jing. Even Lu Changhong's mother came over with a cane. Standing in the front were Liu Sanjin and Lu Changzhu, who looked anxiously at the ox cart that was getting closer and closer.
After Uncle Guai stopped the ox cart, the waiting people hurriedly surrounded it.
"My dear grandson, is this my dear grandson? He looks so good, so plump. Jinghao ate well when she was pregnant, so that the child could be raised well." She spoke vaguely, and between the lines, people could misunderstand that she was waiting for the pregnant Xie Jinghao.
Lu Changzhu looked at her with a smile and said, "You've worked hard."
Shen Meng: "......."
After hearing this, those who didn't know would have thought that she, an old woman who had passed the age of 50, had just given birth to a baby!
Grandma Chang reached out and touched Xie Jinghao's hand, which was warm.
"Oh, Juying, you are so thoughtful. The quilts you brought are all thick, so Jinghao won't be exposed to the wind."
"Of course, she just gave birth to a child, so she must be well protected. If she is exposed to the wind, she will get postpartum disease. The quilts you took are all from Xiaomeng's family. Old man, you have to take them away for Xiaomeng later. There is no other way. Who asked Jinghao to be so worried about her sister-in-law!"
The other people in the Lu family heard it, but they pretended not to hear it. They let her, an outsider, talk about their Lu family's affairs.
Lu Jiasheng looked at the people who congratulated his parents and said gently, "It's a girl. I have both a son and a daughter."
Liu Sanjin and Lu Changzhu were just accepting other people's congratulations, but their smiles froze on their faces when they heard his words. They looked at the children in the car and Xie Jinghao who was about to get off the oxcart. Their faces turned ugly for a moment, but because there were so many people here, they didn't say anything unpleasant.
Zhu Juying rolled her eyes, and together with Jin Ling, they wrapped Xie Jinghao in a quilt and sent him into the house.
Shen Meng took out the wedding candies that he bought early in the morning and asked Lu Jiasheng to distribute them. This behavior made Liu Sanjin grimace with anger.
Zhou Jiaojiao and Wu Xianglan were relieved to see the smile on Lu Jiasheng's face. It didn't matter whether it was a son or a daughter, as long as the baby was born safely, seeing how Lu Jiasheng looked now, he probably wouldn't pursue what happened that day.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Lu Jiasheng gave candies to everyone except them.
Seeing him like this, Lu Jiahe also hid far away. The third brother looked kind and gentle at ordinary times, but once he started to fight, he would be just like the eldest brother, beating anyone to death. He should have run away early! When
Lu Jiasheng handed candies to Grandma Chang, he glanced at Lu Jiahe who was running towards the gate and glared at him fiercely. He didn't have time to take care of him now. He would deal with him after he settled his wife and children.
Shen Meng took care of the things and hurried back home. Zhu Juying said that Xiaokai was sleeping at home. She also watched the child fall asleep and came out for a while.
After being away from home for so many days, she missed the children and had to cook a good meal for them at night. Thinking of this, she went to the kitchen first. When she saw the closet, she opened her mouth in surprise. The things in the house had hardly been moved for so many days. I guess Zhu Juying didn't dare to move the things in the house.
She closed the closet and went to the east room. What she saw was terrible. The little guy was covered with a thick quilt and was sweating.
The concept of two generations raising children was fully reflected at this moment. She quickly pulled away the thick quilt, found the thin quilt on the kang, covered him with it, and wiped him with Xiao Kai's own towel.
The little guy moved his mouth, turned over and continued to sleep, and his eyes squinted. It didn't matter if he squinted, but he almost cried with a pout.
"Mom, mom, Xiao Kai is dreaming."
Shen Meng's heart was about to melt, and she patted his little butt gently.
"No, mom is back, my baby."
Lu Mingkai couldn't sleep now, he climbed up with his little butt sticking out, looked at Shen Meng, stunned for a moment, and threw him into her arms.
"Mom, wuwuwuwu... Xiaokai misses you...ah~"
"The light rain has turned into heavy rain, look how aggrieved you are. Isn't mom back? Our Xiaokai is a big brother again, and he has a little sister too. Are you happy?"
Shen Meng hugged him and rocked him, then tilted her head to kiss his little face. She was also disappointed. This child was really too lovable. Tears fell from her eyes like they were free, and her heart was so soft just seeing him.
"I'm not happy. Don't leave, mom. I don't want my little sister anymore. I want mom."
"Silly child, that's your aunt's child. Are you going to sleep or not? If not, mom will take you to see your little sister. Mom will make you delicious food in the evening, okay?"
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. Xiao Kai is not going to sleep anymore. Stay with mom."
Shen Meng was so happy that she held his little face and kissed him several times. She filled him with hot water to wipe his face and rinse his mouth, and then took him out after drinking some warm water.
"Mom, Xiao Kai tells you, don't tell anyone else!"
"Okay, tell me!"
Xiao Kai leaned close to Shen Meng's ear and said, "Grandma Zhu's cooking is not delicious. My brother and sister almost cried when they were eating, and they said it was delicious. My brother and sister are lying."
Shen Meng: "..."
It shouldn't be that bad!!!
After playing with Xie Jinghao for a while, Zhu Juying told her that her family's private plot had been turned over, and two of the vegetables they usually planted at home were planted for her. The rest would be left for her to decide when she came back.
Shen Meng didn't expect that during the two days she was in the county, all the housework had been done by others. After thanking for a long time, she took Xiao Kai home. Before leaving, Lu Jiasheng told her that he wanted to split up the family. Shen Meng was a little surprised, but thinking about how Xie Jinghao almost lost her life this time, it would be good to split up and live on her own, after all, he had his own skills.
At night, after Xie Jing finished feeding, she coaxed Xiao Gang to sleep, and Lu Jiasheng gave her all the money he had on him and in his bag.
"After deducting the food and the expenses for your hospitalization, there are still 49 left. This is the money for two months of work. Don't worry, you will have all the money in our family from now on. After you have taken care of him for another two days, I will tell my family that we will separate and live on our own. It doesn't matter if we live in an adobe house or a shed, we will live on our own. Just look at my sister-in-law and you will know that it is more comfortable to live on your own."
"Can it work? Will my parents agree?"
Separate the family and live on your own. Although it is difficult, think about it, there is not so much trouble. She can live a good life with the two children, and Jiasheng has a skill. Their life will not be too bad. As long as they have a place to stay, they will definitely live a good life.
"I have to do it even if I have to. If I go out to work in the future, how can I feel at ease leaving you three with them? Dad and mom are confused now and have no idea at all. Just look at my eldest sister-in-law and you will know. She is taking care of four children and she lives a very good life."
Speaking of Shen Meng, Xie Jing also had a yearning in her heart!
