Chapter 157
Unfortunately, no one knows what Zhu Xiaoju is thinking. Of course, it’s not hard to guess.
However, Liang Qiurun didn't have the energy to guess at the moment. He was living a good life, and Zhu Xiaoju had caused such a fuss. Now, the balance that had been maintained with great difficulty was about to be broken.
Thinking of this, Liang Qiurun's usually gentle face became even more solemn.
Seeing his expression, Zhu Xiaoju knew that something bad was going to happen. She looked around and turned to run away, but was stopped by Liang Qiurun.
He stood there, his tall figure like an unclimbable mountain to Zhu Xiaoju.
Zhu Xiaoju said in panic, "Liang Qiurun, I'll leave on my own. You don't need to send anyone to arrest me."
"I really walk on my own."
She was afraid that if she stayed, not only would she be finished, but her husband would also lose his job.
Liang Qiurun pursed her lips and said in a cold voice, "It's too late to leave now."
When Zhu Xiaoju was at Liang's house, he wanted to send her away, and Liang Rui also tried to drive her away several times, but she refused to leave.
Now I have to walk on my own.
It's too late.
She was the one who started it all, so she deserves the consequences.
Zhu Xiaoju cried and said that she regretted coming. Unfortunately, Liang Qiurun's heart was as hard as a rock and he was not at all soft-hearted.
It was not until Director Wu from the Street Office arrived that Liang Qiurun took a step. He had long legs and was wearing suit pants, so every step he took seemed to be measured.
"Director Wu."
He went straight to the point, "This person is a migrant worker who fled from Harbin. Her name is Zhu Xiaoju."
As soon as these words fell, Zhu Xiaoju went crazy, "Liang Qiurun, you have no heart. Have you forgotten that my husband died to save you?"
"If you hand me over to them, aren't you afraid that my dead husband will crawl out of the ground in the middle of the night to look for you?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned Datou. As soon as she mentioned him, Liang Qiurun's expression instantly turned cold. "I'm not afraid. Are you afraid?"
He still gave the same answer.
But all of Zhu Xiaoju's attacks instantly paled. She just kept muttering, "You can't do this, you can't do this."
Liang Qiurun didn't look at her, but said to Director Wu, "Before anyone from the Harbin breeding farm arrives, I'll hand Zhu Xiaoju over to you."
Director Wu naturally knew Liang Qiurun's identity. He nodded immediately and said, "Director Liang, don't worry, we will definitely do our job well."
Liang Qiurun nodded and watched Director Wu and Zhu Xiaoju leave.
He and Uncle Lin returned home, and just as they were climbing the stairs, Uncle Lin suddenly said, "I wish I had been as decisive as you."
Liang Qiurun was still a little confused.
"I'm against Lin Yu." Uncle Lin sighed, "If I had been as decisive as you at the beginning, I wouldn't have had to deal with what happened later."
It was he who did not nip the bud in the cradle.
So this is what led to the current result.
Liang Qiurun was stunned for a moment, and he comforted Uncle Lin, "Lin Yu and Zhu Xiaoju are different, so we can't generalize."
Uncle Lin didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that it was the same.
However, his approach wasn't as decisive as Liang Qiurun's, which is why both sides suffered losses. Uncle Lin didn't want to talk about the past, and he couldn't bring it up again.
He followed Liang Qiurun into the house.
inside the house.
After Zhu Xiaoju left, the atmosphere at home became a little stagnant.
Liang Rui was in a bad mood, still stuck in his previous frenzy. His eyes were red, veins bulged on his forehead, and his fists were clenched.
It can be seen that Liang Rui's emotions are like a powder keg, ready to explode at any time.
But no one in this family could comfort him.
The atmosphere in the room became increasingly tense and depressing.
Jiang Meishu looked at him for a long time and thought about what she should do.
Liang Rui's emotions can easily lead to accidents. He is only seventeen or eighteen years old, which makes him easily impulsive and irritable.
She thought for a long time, and suddenly said without thinking, "Liang Rui, the water tank at home is empty. Go to the courtyard and fetch some water to fill it up."
Liang Rui subconsciously wanted to refuse, "Jiang Meilan, I'm in this state, and you still want me to work."
Jiang Meishu raised her eyelids. Her skin was white and delicate, and one could even see the purple capillaries above her eyelids. She was very fragile, but at this moment, she was surprisingly decisive.
"Are you going?"
Just three words, yet Liang Rui was defeated. He grumbled and complained, "I really don't understand. I've encountered such a big thing, and you know I'm sad, but not only don't you comfort me, you also ask me to go to work."
He picked up the shoulder pole and bucket, looked up, and said, "Jiang Meilan, what are you doing?"
Jiang Meishu stood on the steps. The cold wind made her face pale, but her nose was red from the cold. "What are you doing? I'm watching you work."
But she didn't leave. She just stood outside and watched Liang Rui work.
Liang Rui was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils, but Jiang Meishu refused to let him stop, so he could only obediently carry the shoulder pole and fetch water.
Once, twice, three times.
The water tank is full.
Jiang Meishu then instructed him, "The vegetable garden is also short of water. Please water it as well."
Now, not to mention Liang Rui, even Liang Feng next to him felt that Jiang Meishu was sitting too long. He helped to persuade her, "Aunt, let Liang Rui rest for a while. Look, he's so tired that he's gasping for breath."
Jiang Meishu shook her head, "Not enough."
Liang Feng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liang's mother, "Listen to your aunt."
Now, Liang Feng could only shut up. He looked at Liang Rui, who was carrying a bucket of water and watering the plants over and over again in the cold wind, and for the first time he felt sympathy for him.
Liang Rui took three attempts to water the entire field. Although he was panting, he still looked energetic.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and said, "Go fetch more water. Carry two more buckets of water and run around the courtyard. You will stop when I say so."
Liang Rui was fed up and threw away the carrying pole. "Jiang Meilan, I was bullied and hit, and my own mother came to my house. Not only did you not comfort me, you also wanted me to keep working, and do this kind of crazy work. Are you unhappy with me?"
Jiang Meishu's originally gentle expression instantly became serious after hearing this. When she was not smiling, she had an indescribable majesty.
"Liang Rui, do you regard me as your stepmother?"
This question is a bit sharp.
Liang Rui said subconsciously, "Of course I did."
"Then go and fetch water and run. I'll stop when I say so."
Liang Rui didn't understand, but looking at the serious Jiang Meishu, he still did it. At least in Liang Rui's impression, Jiang Meishu has always been weak and gentle, and she has never been like this.
Seeing her like this, Liang Rui became inexplicably frightened. Without Jiang Meishu's urging, he carried the water and ran in the yard.
One circle, two circles, three circles.
By the eighth lap, Liang Rui really couldn't run anymore. He was sweating and panting in the middle of winter. He threw the bucket and lay on the ground, feeling like his lungs were about to explode.
"Jiang Meilan, I can't run anymore."
"I'm tired."
Jiang Meishu hummed and called Liang Feng, "Come with me to help him into the house."
Liang Feng was a little stunned, but he followed Jiang Meishu's orders unconditionally. The two of them, one on each side, carried Liang Rui, who was almost too tired to walk, into the bedroom.
Helped him lie down on the bed.
She looked at Liang Rui, whose face was flushed, and suddenly said, "You sleep for a while, I'll accompany you."
Liang Rui was stunned for a moment, and he murmured, "Jiang Meilan."
He was really exhausted and just wanted to lie down and rest, not moving at all.
Jiang Meishu took off his smelly shoes and asked Liang Feng to take them outside. She then tucked the quilt in for him and said, "Go to sleep. I won't leave. I'll stay with you."
It was obviously a simple statement, but Liang Rui, who was trying to be strong, had his eyes red instantly, and the belated tears began to fall one by one.
He was embarrassed and didn't want Jiang Meishu to see him crying.
So Liang Rui pulled the quilt over himself and covered himself with it. After a while, he heard sobbing sounds from inside the quilt, like a wounded little animal.
Jiang Meishu felt sad when she heard this. She didn't stop him from crying. She just raised her hand and patted him gently on the back, "Cry, it will be better if you cry it out."
When Zhu Xiaoju came, the one who suffered the most was Liang Rui.
The mother he once longed for hadn't come to T for sixteen years after abandoning him. When she came again, it was only for money.
It sounded high-sounding, but in reality it was just to subsidize the children she gave birth to later.
Obviously, they were all children born after Zhu Xiaoju's ten months of pregnancy, but she treated them with completely different attitudes.
Jiang Meishu couldn't, and didn't dare to bring it in. She was a sensitive person. When she got married, her mother only gave her a pair of enamel basins as a dowry, which made her very angry.
Not to mention someone like Liang Rui.
She sighed softly and patted the quilt slowly, "Go to sleep, everything will be fine after you wake up."
His irritable mood will also calm down.
Perhaps her voice was too gentle, which made Liang Rui slowly calm down. In less than three minutes, he fell asleep, and he could hear long breathing sounds from under the quilt.
Jiang Meishu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, she was afraid when she saw Liang Rui like that before. She was afraid that this impulsive and rebellious teenager would do something to hurt himself or others.
He is still young, only eighteen years old in terms of age.
He has a long life ahead of him and shouldn't pay for this impulse.
Liang Rui fell asleep, but Jiang Meishu didn't leave. She just sat beside him and watched over him.
When Liang Qiurun came back, the first thing he asked was, "Where are Jiang Jiang and Liang Rui?"
Mother Liang looked up at Liang Rui's room and said, "Xiao Jiang took him in. He must have fallen asleep. I didn't hear any movement."
"Qiu Run." When Liang's mother mentioned this, she really admired Jiang Meishu. "You don't know how excited Liang Rui was after you left. Looking at his red eyes, he seemed to want to kill someone."
"I was terrified at the time, afraid he would do something he shouldn't do."
"Later, Xiao Jiang came up with a good idea. He asked him to fill the water tank in the yard first, and then asked him to carry water to irrigate the vegetable garden. I don't know where this kid got so much strength from, he didn't even collapse even after being exhausted. Xiao Jiang had no choice but to let him carry water and run around the yard again."
When this was mentioned, Liang's mother laughed, "Qiu Run, you didn't see that at the end Liang Rui was so tired that he couldn't even stand up."
"Xiao Jiang and Liang Feng helped him in, and he seemed to fall asleep soon after."
Liang's mother sighed in her heart, "Xiao Jiang is really wise. The situation was urgent at that time. I never thought she could come up with such a solution."
After hearing this, Liang Qiurun's heart softened and he said softly, "She has always been very smart."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to enter Liang Rui's room. Liang's mother suddenly remembered from behind him, "Oh, I forgot to ask you, is Zhu Xiaoju in there?"
Liang Qiurun hummed, "It's solved."
Mother Liang sighed, "That's good. My Liang family has raised this child for over ten years and we absolutely have no intention of returning him to someone else."
Her son has paid too much for Liang Rui. Such a grown man raised Liang Rui and even did not get married at first. It was only after he met Xiao Jiang that he changed his mind.
Liang's mother thought to herself that Xiao Jiang was truly the lucky star of their family.
If she hadn't been here, there would probably be another fierce battle today.
Liang Qiurun didn't know what his mother was thinking. He just wanted to see Jiang Meishu as soon as possible, especially after seeing the ugliness and filthiness of human nature.
He missed her more and more.
When Liang Qiurun came in, she was very quiet, even pushing the door was silent. Jiang Meishu was watching Liang Rui and was dozing off, but because she was worried, her sleep was not peaceful. When she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, she subconsciously woke up.
Even his eyes were alert.
When she saw that it was Liang Qiurun, she finally relaxed. Liang Qiurun saw this scene and felt very distressed. "I'm sorry."
"I've made you worry so much."
She should have avoided experiencing these things, but because she married him and had a complicated family, Jiang Meishu was exposed to them in advance.
Jiang Meishu shook her head. She placed her index finger beside Liang Qiurun, hushed softly, and pointed at the bed, saying silently, "He's sleeping."
I finally fell asleep.
Liang Qiurun hummed, and he held Jiang Meishu's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Jiang Meishu felt a little pain from his grip, and she was worried that Zhu Xiaoju hadn't dealt with the situation yet, so she quietly got up, pulled Liang Qiurun to the door, and asked him quietly, "Is it resolved over there?"
Liang Qiurun nodded, "It's solved."
No details were mentioned, and Jiang Meishu was too lazy to ask.
"That's fine." Knowing that the problem was solved, she tiptoed to re-enter the room, but after taking only two steps, she was stopped by Liang Qiurun.
"Why did you go in again?"
"Let's go eat."
It was New Year’s Eve, and because of all the commotion, no one was able to have the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Jiang Meishu shook her head and whispered, "I promised Liang Rui that I would stay with him. I won't go to eat."
"You guys eat."
Since she had promised the other party, she would do it.
Liang Qiurun, "Eat first, then come over after dinner?"
Jiang Meishu still refused, "No, he's not a child, and neither am I. I have to do what I promised him."
"Go eat, and bring me some when you're done."
Seeing Jiang Meishu like this, Liang Qiurun might understand why Liang Rui listened to her.
Because Jiang Meishu treats Liang Rui as an independent individual, she will take every word she says to him seriously.
Even Liang Qiurun himself couldn't do this.
He stared down at her for a moment, then whispered, "Thank you."
Thank you, Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and said, "What are you thanking me for? Liang Rui calls me little mom, so I have to take care of him."
What's more, the child handed over all his private money to her.
Even your own children may not be able to do this.
Liang Qiurun was somewhat moved. He watched Jiang Meishu enter the house silently, and left after a while. He went to the main room, where Comrade Wang had already prepared the meal, but not all the people were there yet, as it was a reunion dinner.
It was difficult to start, so they put the prepared food in a big pot and steamed it with water vapor.
After Liang Qiurun came over, he said to her, "You guys have the New Year's Eve dinner first."
"Pour out two separate bowls of food for Jiang Jiang and me, and I'll take them to her."
After saying this, Comrade Wang was still a little hesitant. She wanted to say that this was New Year's Eve dinner and also a reunion dinner, but Liang's mother didn't say anything, so she naturally didn't know how to speak.
Liang's mother was decisive. "Listen to Qiurun. Serve them two bowls and put the menu on a separate plate."
She followed him into the kitchen. "Xiao Jiang likes to eat cold braised beef. Bring the garlic sauce over. She also likes the braised steamed buns. The stir-fried radish and pork goes well with rice. Put it on top of her rice."
"It's not enough to just eat meat. She also likes some vegetables, such as spicy and sour cabbage and shredded potatoes. I put some in there too."
Such a scattered handful of food actually filled up an entire plate, and the food was piled up to the brim.
Liang Qiurun carried the plates, soup and bowls and went to Liang Rui's room together.
Jiang Meishu was a little surprised when she saw him, but after seeing that the plate was filled with her favorite dishes, she couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "These are all my favorites."
Liang Qiurun hummed, "My mom and I pretended together."
He pretended too!
The two of them just moved a stool over, put the dishes on it, and sat on the floor with their bowls in hand. This was really not elegant.
But at this moment, they both just smiled at each other, eating while watching over Liang Rui.
Jiang Meishu looked at Liang Rui in the bed and whispered, "This child needs to grow up well."
Little Liang Rui grew up to be big Liang Rui.
He will be well taken care of.
He will be loved well.
He will become good too.
Because Liang Rui is loved by them.
Liang Rui slept exceptionally well this time. He was so tired that he slept soundly and didn't even dream. He slept from around six in the afternoon of the previous day to around six in the morning of the next day.
Almost twelve hours.
When he woke up, he noticed something was wrong in the room and subconsciously looked towards the bed.
I saw Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun wrapped in quilts, leaning on chairs, and sleeping like that.
There were plates and bowls on the floor with leftovers in them.
It's not hard to imagine.
What were they doing last night?
They watched over him all night.
When he thought of this, Liang Rui's heart started to burn, so hot that his eyes started to ache. "Mom and Dad."
I called out "Mom and Dad" willingly.
Not stepmother, but mother.
Although the sound was very soft, it still woke Liang Qiurun up. He should have gotten up earlier. According to his usual rules, he would get up at five o'clock to practice military boxing, but because he was worried about Liang Rui, he unexpectedly broke his own rules.
He was a light sleeper to begin with, and was suddenly woken up by Liang Rui.
Liang Qiurun looked up and said, "Liang Rui, are you awake?"
Perhaps because he was afraid of waking Jiang Meishu, his voice was very soft, almost silent.
Liang Rui nodded and pointed at Jiang Meishu.
Liang Qiurun, "Come down, be gentle, don't wake her up."
Liang Rui tiptoed, but his movement still woke Jiang Meishu up. She opened her eyes suddenly, still a little confused, but soon realized that her hands and feet were numb.
Last night, she and Liang Qiurun stayed with Liang Rui all night.
After seeing Liang Rui getting up, Jiang Meishu stood up immediately. Because she was uncomfortable sleeping while sitting, her hands and feet were numb. She tilted, and Liang Qiurun quickly supported her.
Jiang Meishu stood firm, but her eyes were on Liang Rui. She said with surprise, "Liang Rui, are you awake? Are you okay?"
After sleeping for twelve hours, Liang Rui felt much better.
He nodded, his voice sour, "Mom and Dad, thank you."
It is rare for the rebellious Liang Rui to be so sentimental.
Jiang Meishu keenly noticed the change in the way he addressed her, from "little mother" to "mother".
She couldn't help but arch her eyebrows and said, "You're welcome, eldest son."
have to.
The original sentimental mood disappeared in an instant.
Liang Rui took a deep breath, looked up at Jiang Meishu, and said seriously, "Mom, from now on I will only be your mother."
Liang Rui's mother will only be Jiang Meishu in this life.
It can't be anyone else.
Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment. She raised her hand and patted Liang Rui on the shoulder. "Be good, eldest son. From now on, you will only be my son."
"Only son."
She held Liang Qiurun's hand, and they both held Liang Rui's hand.
The three of them put their hands together.
Jiang Meishu's voice was gentle, "A family of three."
After hearing this, Liang Rui's tears immediately came down. He didn't want them to see it, so he turned away.
Jiang Meishu stepped forward and hugged him, "Liang Rui, you have us."
"We will love you."
At this moment, this seventeen-year-old boy possessed the most precious thing in the world.
After hearing this, Liang Rui hugged Jiang Meishu and cried inconsolably.
When Liang Qiurun saw them like this, he just guarded them quietly.
At this moment, he was somewhat grateful for his luck.
He has such a wonderful wife and children.
However, the warmth between mother and son did not last long.
Liang Rui's constant calls of "Mom" both opened and closed made Jiang Meishu feel annoyed. She frowned and leaned closer, "Liang Rui, look at my young and pretty face, and you call me Mom? Can you even say that?"
She is only a few years older than Liang Rui.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that she is her sister.
When Liang Rui heard this, he was stunned. "Then if I don't call you mom, what should I call you?"
Jiang Meishu put her arm around his shoulders, acting like a good brother, and said, "Call me sister."
"Did you hear me? When there are outsiders around, call me sister!"
Liang Rui, "I call you sister, what do you call me?"
Jiang Meishu subconsciously said, "I asked you to call me brother?"
She rolled her eyes. "Should I ask you to call me brother? Would you dare to answer if I call you that?"
Liang Rui, "What about my dad?"
Jiang Meishu felt that the generations were messed up, so she asked tentatively, "Call me dad too?"
Liang Qiurun, "..."
