Chapter 92: Bright red pants
The next morning, when Shen Meng's attending doctor was examining her, he happened to meet Cheng Yufen who was doing rounds. He casually said that the last time the Cheng family went to the hospital to make trouble, they had all seen Shen Meng and vaguely remembered her appearance. After all, Dr. Cheng's family was difficult to deal with and not easy to mess with. Everyone sympathized with Dr. Cheng, but was also extremely afraid of him.
When Cheng Yufen heard that Shen Meng was hospitalized, she was surprised for a moment. They were all acquaintances, so it would be inappropriate not to come and see her. So she came to see her. When she entered the ward, she saw that she was not looking very good.
"Comrade Shen, what happened to you?"
Shen Meng saw that it was her and hurried to get up. Lu Zhenping pressed her shoulder and said, "We need to check, don't move." After he said that, he looked at Cheng Yufen and continued, "Something happened at home and you got a head injury."
The attending doctor flipped her eyelids, pressed her wound, asked some questions, then nodded, and wrote a prescription to the accompanying nurse.
"Hang two more bottles of water in the morning, and you can be discharged in the afternoon. There are still some medicines to take. I have written a list for you. Take them according to the dosage and you will be fine for five days. If you still feel uncomfortable in your head, come back for a check-up."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
After the doctor left, the young nurse came with the medicine and injection. After hanging the water for Shen Meng, she told Lu Zhenping to remember to call for help when removing the needle, and not to remove it by herself, otherwise the head nurse would scold them if she knew.
Lu Zhenping nodded quickly. Although he knew some first aid, he couldn't cause trouble for the nurses.
Cheng Yufen heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this man being so intimate with Shen Meng. When she was talking to Shen Meng's attending doctor, she already knew that she was admitted to the hospital because her father-in-law beat her with a broom because of the police from the brick factory. Fortunately, her husband came back in time to send her to the hospital. If he had come back later, she didn't know what would have happened!
Shen Meng had helped her before, and this time it was more or less due to their family reasons. She also wanted to help Shen Meng. Such a good person, I think her husband should not be bad either.
"This must be Comrade Shen's lover, Comrade Lu, right? Haha, glad you're back. Comrade Shen is truly a rare good person, kind to children and sisters-in-law. Comrade Lu must be nice to her!"
Lu Zhenping was surprised for a moment. He didn't expect that Shen Meng could know people in the hospital and that they could recognize her so much.
"Thank you, she's a very nice person."
"By the way, Comrade Shen, I heard that your family is going to build a house. Do you have enough bricks and tiles? If you need more, I'll tell my husband."
According to Cheng Yufen's previous behavior, it would be impossible for her to say these words, but she was really too happy during this period. Not only did her daughter-in-law often come home, but her daughter-in-law would also bring her grandson to see her. Her husband Kong Wenxiang was very kind when he talked to her now. This was when their family lived a good life in the past.
She was immersed in such happiness, and her husband kept praising her for being a very principled person. Sometimes principles don't need to be broken, but just changed in a different way.
For example, last time her husband gave Shen Meng a note from the brick factory, she felt it was inappropriate, but Kong Wenxiang said that several batches were obtained through connections, and those people were not in a hurry to get them. It was okay to get them for a few months or half a year at night. She hadn't lived such a happy life for a long time, and she really didn't want to refute him.
She asked yesterday, and Kong Wenxiang said that there was nothing wrong. A leader who wanted a batch of bricks and tiles even called him and said that they were not needed for the time being. Only then did she feel relieved.
Shen Meng knew in her heart that Kong Wenxiang was Cheng Yufen's husband, but she couldn't pretend that she knew it. She looked at Cheng Yufen with a puzzled look.
"Doctor Cheng, how do you know about building a house in my house? Do I know your husband?"
Thinking about Kong Wenxiang's cautious look last time, she couldn't help laughing. It seems that Shen Meng was not wrong about this person.
"Hey, my husband is Kong Wenxiang, the director of the brick factory. Last time my sister-in-law came to make trouble, you helped me and scolded me awake. Now my family is very harmonious. When you went to the brick factory to ask about bricks and tiles, he recognized you and helped you approve a note. I thought you knew it, but I didn't expect that you don't even know he is my husband now!"
"Oh, that's what I thought. When I went to ask, the young man at the door said there was no stock. Not long after, he came to my house to find me and gave me a note. I have already sent it to my parents' home, and they will go to get the bricks in two days. Thank you so much, Doctor Cheng. I didn't even know about this. I'm indebted to you for such a big favor. I really don't know how to thank you."
Cheng Yufen shook her head, spoke a few more words to Shen Meng, glanced at Lu Zhenping before leaving. What she said was so obvious. If Comrade Lu was smart, he should know that the note from the brick factory was given to Shen Meng by their own family, and it was not borrowed from the Lu family.
"It's obvious that Doctor Cheng is here to support you. When did you get to know the doctors in the county hospital?"
"A young child, a cruel mother, a husband who is a soldier and a broken family. If I didn't get to know more people, I know how hard life would be. Forget it. It's useless to say it anyway. Go buy me breakfast. I'm so hungry."
Lu Zhenping: "..."
What he said was even better than singing. In the past, when he received a letter urging for the allowance every month, he was very urgent!
Shen Meng looked at Lu Zhenping's back and felt very melancholy. There was a shrewd adult in the family from now on. If he wanted to take something from the space, he had to be careful. How was he going to live? He felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
After being discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, Lu Zhenping took her to a state-owned hotel. It was a cloudy day, so he ordered a bowl of beef noodles for Shen Meng. After dinner, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative and the bookstore together and bought a lot of things.
Shen Meng felt that he was compensating her.
When Uncle Guai sent someone to the county town in the afternoon, he happened to pick up two people and went home. Looking at the two people sitting quietly on the ox cart, he wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. When
Lu Zhenping looked at him for the fifth time, he stared at him,
"Uncle, just say whatever you want to say."
They were about to reach the village entrance, and they had to know that the Mingyang kids were not going to escape the beating.
"Well, Zhenping, Xiaomeng, listen to me, it's not a big deal. They are just kids playing around. It's not their fault. Just go back and have a good talk with the kids. Don't kill them."
???
These words made Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng's eyelids twitch. They looked at each other and then looked at Uncle Guai.
The latter swallowed his saliva and said, "Well, Mingyang and Mingliang, those two brats, ran away last night when your Aunt Juying wasn't paying attention. I don't know how they did it, but they climbed over the wall into the old courtyard, twisted Jiaxuan's wife's hair, and smashed a hole in the kitchen pot. Your father's red pants were hung on the tree branch at the door. They were bright and eye-catching. The whole village was in an uproar this morning."
Shen Meng: “........”
Lu Zhenping: “.......”
