Chapter 78: I Want to Call You
to Death Xie Jinghao finally gave birth to a child safely, and she was fine. She was finally relieved. After Mingyang and the other three children went to school, she took Xiaokai to her mother's house on her bicycle.
Shen Fugui's health has improved. These days, as soon as Shen Yutian gets off work, he starts running around to find people to help build a house. He has dragged hundreds of adobes, and is waiting for two days to clean up the things at home and lay the foundation for the old house!
When Shen Meng brought Xiaokai home, Shen Xiaobin was grunting and trying to smooth things over, and Xiaolong and Xiaohu were also helping with their sister.
"Xiaobin, what are you busy with?"
"Sister, why are you back? I'm dragging adobe bricks here. Aren't we going to build a house? Everyone in the family has gone to work. I'm at home taking care of the kids, so I want to do more work." He was a little embarrassed when he said this. His mother told him that his sister gave the family so much money just so that he could find a good family when he got married. His
two brothers and sister-in-law said that this might have emptied the family's savings. How could he not be moved!
"Stop it now, call your parents and brother back, I have good news for you."
"Xiaolong, go call your grandpa and grandma."
Xiaolong's dark red face was slightly excited, his eyes were shining as he looked at the brand new bicycle, he listened to his uncle's instructions, nodded several times, and ran barefoot to the field.
"Sister, go into the house and drink some water, hehehe, Xiaokai, do you miss your uncle?"
"I miss my uncle, uncle will take me to catch birds." Xiaokai went up and held Shen Xiaobin tightly, the last time they came, they went to the river to catch loaches, caught birds, and went up the mountain to pick wild fruits, it was so much fun.
Brother and sister go to school every day now, Xiaogang is still young, no one takes him to play.
"Okay, uncle will take them out to play later."
Shen Meng smiled helplessly at him and said, "Let's go now. I'll take Xiaokai back after we've settled the matter. Mingyang and the others have to go home for lunch after school!"
"What, you're not staying home for lunch?" Shen Xiaobin was a little disappointed. He was still thinking about going to the commune to buy some meat for his sister and nephew!
"I won't stay. I originally told you the same thing, but at least I'm here, and I want to see my parents too. Now you can either take Xiaokai and Xiaohu and the others out to play, and I'll just wait at home."
Lu Mingkai was obviously frustrated. He always played with Xiaogang and Yaoyao at home, and hoped every day that his brothers and sisters would hurry after school to accompany him. Unfortunately, they had to do their homework after school, and by the time they finished their homework, it was almost dark, and they had to go to bed after dinner. He felt that he was the most pitiful kid in the world.
"Okay, sister, you sit for a while. I'll take them out for a run and come back."
Not long after Shen Xiaobin left, Shen Fugui and Wang Lianhua came back with their two sons. They didn't even bother to wash their hands before they hurried into the main hall. Xiaolong kept urging them along the way, saying that his aunt had something important to tell them.
The old couple were very worried because they had taken so much money from the young lady last time. They were afraid that her in-laws would make trouble and that life would be difficult at home. Seeing Xiaolong urging them so urgently, the old couple felt uneasy.
"Mom and Dad are back?"
"Xiao Meng, do you have something to say? Xiaolong didn't tell us what happened on the way. What's wrong? What happened?"
Shen Meng shook his head, took out the things in his pocket, and handed the note to Shen Shoutian.
"Yes, there is something, a very good thing. I went to the brick factory a few days ago, and I was lucky enough to meet the factory manager. He said that there was a batch of bricks that had not been sold yet. If we want them, we can go over and get them. This is a note. I've calculated that the money at home is enough to get a batch first, and I'll think of the rest when I go back."
"What, bricks, you're so lucky. If you don't have connections at the brick factory, it's really hard to get them. Usually, if you want to get bricks, you have to wait in line. Oh, a big tiled house with red bricks, my God!" Shen Yutian also came over to look at the list.
Wang Lianhua felt bad. Her house still needed the married daughter to run around and work hard. Judging from the situation, she was afraid that the daughter would have to help borrow money. How could that work?
"Red bricks and black tiles are not easy to get. Since Xiaomeng helped get the note, we will do everything ourselves, whether it is wood or artificial cement. If we rely on your sister for this house, her family will be broken up. Xiaomeng, listen to your mother. Don't worry about our house in the future. We still have some money at home. If it doesn't work, we can just go hungry. We can always pay it back."
"Yes, your mother is right. Xiao Meng, you gave more than 300 yuan to the family, including food, cloth, and notes from the brick factory. It's too much. If you give more, your parents won't be able to take it. So let it be. Your parents can figure out the rest."
After the excitement, Shen Shoutian and Shen Yutian felt clearer in their hearts. Their parents were right. They were men and could not keep sucking blood from their married sister. That would be too much.
"Yes, Xiao Meng, don't worry, we will find a solution ourselves."
Seeing that they insisted, Shen Meng didn't say anything more. Besides, she didn't have much cash on hand. She was also planning to go back to the county town to sell some food or other things to exchange for some money. After all, she would be at ease if she had money in her hands.
Lujia Village.
Zhu Juying sat on the ground and cried loudly, wailing about her family's misfortune and marrying a daughter-in-law who was not clean. Opposite her, a yellow-haired man with messy hair stood with his hands on his waist, his eyes vicious.
Zhu Juying had kept the eight-jin cotton coupons well, but when she went to check just now, she couldn't find them. Her daughter was going to get married in three months, and she wanted her old man to bring back some cloth when he went to the county town so that she could make a new cotton-padded jacket for the wedding. If she added a five-jin thick quilt and the four-jin cotton she had saved, the wedding would be lively and decent.
But the things she had hidden well were gone. She thought about it and searched everywhere, and finally remembered that a figure flashed by the window when she hid the things that day. There was no need to think about who in their family was always eavesdropping.
So she searched Huang Maochun's room and found the eight-jin cotton coupons under her kang.
"How can you be so cruel? Those are Xiangxiang's cotton coupons. She is getting married soon and you still take her things. How can you be such a sister-in-law?"
"Well, what you say is yours is yours. What's in my room is mine. It was prepared for me by my parents. I have never seen an old mother as shameless as you. You went to your daughter-in-law's room to rummage around and took away all the good things. You are a black-hearted old woman."
Lu Xingchang just watched his mother and daughter-in-law swearing at each other. He stood there trembling, opening and closing his mouth again and again, but in the end he didn't say a word.
The farce ended only after Lu Xiangxiang and others came back. The cotton coupons were not returned. Lu Xingchang squatted at the door of his parents' room, covering his head and not saying a word. His wife Huang Maochun took the child out for a walk. Before leaving, she said: Cook quickly. If you can't have hot meals at home, go back to your parents' home.
"Brother, why are you so cowardly? Even if you don't side with mom, you can't watch your sister-in-law and mom quarreling like this. Can't you persuade them and say a few words?" "
I, what can I do? Your sister-in-law has that kind of temper. It's useless for me to say anything. Alas!"
Lu Xiangxiang: "......."
Alas, you, alas, I want to kill you!!!
