Chapter 22 Comrades

The soldier in charge of guarding kept his eyes wandering back and forth between various instruments and Lu Shaotang. He scanned the status of the instruments one by one. Hmm, normal... normal... Then he met a pair of sharp black eyes!

Guard: "!!!"

He quickly and silently woke up Chen Yanming who was resting next to him, and motioned him to look at the person on the bed.

Although Lu Shaotang could not move his body, his eyes had recovered their freedom. He turned his eyes and met Chen Yanming's.

Chen Yanming's face was full of excitement and excitement. He suppressed his voice and teased: "Hey, you are a tough kid."

Lu Shaotang showed a mutual look.

Chen Yanming wanted to call the attending physician to come over and check him, but was stopped by Lu Shaotang's gaze.

Chen Yanming: "Old Lu, are you sure... you are okay?"

When he was found, he was covered in blood, and his consciousness was still unconscious. It's only been a few days and he's... out of danger?

Lu Shaotang's eyes were firm, without any sign of weakness, as if the pain in his body could not reach his brain.

Chen Yanming tentatively pressed the wound on his abdomen, where there was a knife wound.

Lu Shaotang's brows knitted together and he glared at him. Animal!

Chen Yanming put his fist to his lips, coughed softly, and whispered, "Old Lu, let me tell you about the current situation, and let's discuss the follow-up."

The guard next to him whispered, "Instructor, Captain Lu is still injured."

Chen Yanming: "It's okay, he's as strong as an animal, as long as he wakes up, there will be no problem, he is a person who can complete the mission after eating poisonous mushrooms."

Lu Shaotang: "...Get lost."

Finally, between Chen Yanming's whispering and Lu Shaotang's single word jumping, The two agreed to a plan to lure out the enemy spies lurking in the hospital with Lu Shaotang as bait.

However, Lin Shu and Zhao Meifeng were scheming against each other at home.

Lin Shu had an account in her mind, and she had to return every bit of what Zhao Meifeng had taken from the original owner.

Although Lin Shu was a little different from the past and was no longer so timid and cowardly, Zhao Meifeng only thought that she wanted to become stronger and fight for the family business because she was stimulated by the loss of her man, and she did not expect that Lin Shu would change her mind and scheme against her.

She was also secretly proud of controlling Lin Shu and making Lin Shu obey her orders.

She went home happily and brought back the cotton wool, fabrics and linings for making new cotton-padded jackets and cotton-padded shoes, and also a large piece of tunic to sew soles and insoles. She stuffed them all

at Lin Shu.

"I'm telling you, from the third wife's family, no matter how your family was before, you will have no man in the future, and your parents-in-law will need a son to take care of them when they get old. They will definitely favor the first and second wives, so you have to make plans for you and your children." Zhao Meifeng acted like a real sister.

Lin Shu lowered her head slightly, said nothing, and let her act on her own.

When the other party is not on guard against you, you don't need to say anything, she will confess herself.

As expected, Zhao Meifeng continued, "Your two sisters-in-law, the eldest one is pretending to be honest but actually cunning, and the second one is pretending to be kind but actually vicious. They are definitely thinking about sharing your husband's pension. After they divide the pension, who will be willing to support you and the children? You wait and see, they will definitely arrange for the division of the family."

Lin Shu lowered her head even more, and her shoulders shook at the right time.

Zhao Meifeng: "Don't look at this yard as big, I'm afraid it can't accommodate you. But don't worry, the eldest sister-in-law will definitely not stand by and watch you die. Before you remarry, the eldest sister-in-law will protect you. As long as the eldest sister-in-law is here, you have your house. No matter what, we also have a big yard, right?"

She stared at Lin Shu's neat hair, waiting for Lin Shu to ask her hesitantly where to find a suitable second-married man, so that she can take the opportunity to brag about how many people she knows.

Anyway, Zhao Meifeng and his wife planned to live a beautiful life. They wanted to make money from Lu Shaotang's funeral, share Lu Shaotang's pension, get a dowry for Lin Shu's remarriage, and the man Lin Shu remarried had to help them find a job.

Lin Shu curled her lips and sighed, "Sister-in-law, you said I don't have a penny, my clothes are all tattered, where can I go..."

Zhao Meifeng listened to her and advised, "Don't be anxious, ask your mother-in-law for the pension whenever you have something to do, and cry if she doesn't give it to you. She wants to leave it to the two sons, why? That's your man's fate! It should be you and the children!"

Lin Shu thought to herself: The original owner didn't have a mind, and after being provoked by Zhao Meifeng, how could she not do it?

The original owner was sulking with her mother-in-law because she listened to Zhao Meifeng's talk too much, and she believed that her mother-in-law wanted to give the pension to other children instead of herself, and she was too embarrassed to ask for

it. Lin Shu whispered: "Since my sister-in-law is so powerful, why don't you tell my mother-in-law?"

Who wouldn't add fuel to the fire?

You dare to ask Fang Dihua for money, why don't you go?

Zhao Meifeng admitted it, she said: "Don't worry, take care of the third child's funeral first. Let me tell you, your eldest brother and I are really worried about you. Your eldest brother will preside over the funeral, and your eldest nephew and I will help cook and entertain the guests, and we can share some of the money collected in the future. If your parents-in-law do it themselves, you won't get a penny in the future."

Lin Shu: Just wait, I will give you a chance to be beaten up.

She immediately held her forehead and groaned, "Sister-in-law, I feel dizzy all day long. Do you think there is something wrong with me?"

Zhao Meifeng was anxious: "Your mother-in-law took you to the hospital, but she just took herself to see a doctor and didn't let you see a doctor?"

Lin Shu squeezed out a tear, "I... I have no money. Sister-in-law, I know you are a good person, you are really kind, please give me five yuan."

Lu Shaocai did not have to work in the fields, he had full work points a day, and the brigade gave him a subsidy of three to five yuan a month.

The couple also wrote letters to the capital every day to cry about their poverty, and from time to time they would send ten or twenty yuan to them.

These two are rich!

They are rich but they still scheme against Lu Shaotang!

Zhao Meifeng thought that she would get more money from Lu Shaotang and Lin Shu soon. She was so generous that she took out a dollar and stuffed it into Lin Shu's pocket, "Good sister, go to the hospital quickly, don't get sick."

Lin Shu looked at her pocket and refused to take it. You are torturing my ears with this bunch of money. One dollar is not enough.

Zhao Meifeng gritted her teeth and added another dollar, "Sister-in-law is not rich either, you can pay it back slowly."

Lin Shu thought that two dollars was enough for a supporting role, so she acted with her, "Sister-in-law, you are a good person, I can't take your money, I don't have money to pay it back."

You want me to pay it back? No way!

Zhao Meifeng's heart was throbbing, but she smiled and said, "Ah, what nonsense are we talking about? I have always treated you as my own sister. When you find a good man, just don't forget your sister-in-law."

Lin Shu smiled, how could I forget? I still remember that you bullied the original owner.

She touched the fabrics sent by Zhao Meifeng. She had a cotton jacket and cotton shoes for winter. Not bad.

Her eyes turned red, but she continued to cry. Her tears were particularly pitiful.

Zhao Meifeng was anxious, "Oh, what happened?"

Lin Shu sobbed and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, you are the only one who is nice to me among so many people. You don’t know, I, I went to the county today, and I didn’t even have a decent piece of clothing, people laughed at me... Woo, I won’t go out in the future..."

Zhao Meifeng: "..."

How can I not go out, how can I find a powerful old man!

"Your mother-in-law has so much money, let her go to the black market to buy you a few feet."

Lin Shu looked embarrassed: "Oh... or... forget it."

- I'm so anxious!

Zhao Meifeng was indeed anxious, "Sister, don't do that. You are young and pretty. Really, even if I look around the capital, I can't find anyone as pretty as you. It's not easy to find a rich and powerful official who can control you!"

Lin Shu silently pulled the frayed edges on her clothes, but it couldn't be fixed.

Zhao Meifeng hardened her heart, gritted her teeth, and bleed again, "Then... let's do this, I will lend you eight feet of cloth first, you make a coat..."

Lin Shu didn't say anything, just stretched her legs to show her the dungarees.

Zhao Meifeng: Damn it! I'm going all out! She gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, I will lend you fifteen feet, you make one, and when we get married, you can pay me back double."

She wanted to arrange a marriage for Lin Shu right away.

She never thought about signing a document or having witnesses. She just asked for whatever the boss wanted.

She thought that Lin Shu had no other help. Now her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law were squeezing her out. She could only rely on herself. When she found a rich man, she could have as many as she wanted. Why did she care about this?

When she was a nanny in the capital, there was a vixen who looked similar to Lin Shu. She had white skin, big watery eyes, and a soft figure. She fascinated a young leader. He spoiled her so much that he wanted to pick the stars and the moon to please her. She wore foreign skirts, put on foreign perfume and lipstick, and brought home rolls of fabrics.

Tsk tsk, three or four hundred imported foreign watches!

Damn it, a spendthrift and a bitch, why can't she get such a good thing?

Those young cadres are blind, they can't see that she is a good daughter-in-law who knows how to live!

Lin Shu immediately raised her head and looked at her with tears in her eyes. Her tone was sweet and soft, with deep gratitude, "Sister-in-law, you are such a good person. You are the best person I have ever met in my life. You are the best to me."

Her voice was sweet to begin with, the kind that even when she was angry and scolding people, she

sounded like she was being coquettish, making people feel that she was seducing them. Zhao Meifeng, a woman, was seduced by her and her heart was pounding. How could a man resist her? Really, what kind of man did she want to marry? Zhao Meifeng felt that as long as she could control Lin Shu, her second half of life would be stable. No one in the county revolutionary committee was worthy of her, and she had to go to the city to find one!

She was calculating Lin Shu's future, but Lin Shu was calculating her present.

Lin Shu looked like she was totally dependent on Zhao Meifeng, "Sister-in-law, then you quickly bring the cloth, I'll start making it right away."

New clothes are of course more comfortable the sooner you wear them.

Zhao Meifeng looked at Lin Shu, her eyes were watery, with a hint of red at the corners of her eyes, her cheeks were even more rosy, and her lips were bitten to be shiny and pink.

She couldn't help but think of the Jin Ping Mei that she had secretly read that year. Pan Jinlian was only like her, right?

It wouldn't be bad to find her a rich and powerful Ximen Qing, anyway, she would get the benefits!

She was excited by the benefits she imagined in her mind, as if as long as Lin Shu put on the new clothes, she would be able to catch a rich husband immediately, and her family would be prosperous.

She did have several yards of good cloth at home!

Light blue cotton with small white flowers, cotton with small pink flowers, light blue Dacron, and indigo twill.

She thought Lin Shu looked best in pink, which went well with her skin, but since the man had just died, Fang Dihua probably wouldn't let her wear pink, so... she couldn't bear to give up the Dacron, which was expensive and hard to buy now, so she gave her the light blue cotton and made pants with the indigo.

Zhao Meifeng came back with the cloth, feeling reluctant but full of expectation, "Hey, I'll give it to you, but you must repay me well. I have never been so kind to anyone in my life."

Lin Shu smiled sweetly, dazzling Zhao Meifeng's eyes, "Sister-in-law, I know you are a good person, and no one has been so kind to me in my life."

This fine cotton cloth is really good, making a shirt to wear, oh, so delicious~

Zhao Meifeng's heart was bleeding, "You must take good care of yourself, sleep more, and eat more."

Lin Shu smiled at her very sincerely, yes, you have to eat well to have a good complexion, and then ask your good sister-in-law for eggs and meat.

The sunk cost is too high, so much cloth has been invested, how can you be short of a few eggs?

Lin Shu was sure that she would give it.

Lin Shu was happy, so she lowered her head and fiddled with the fabric, letting Zhao Meifeng brainwash her about how to find a good man and how to repay her.

Lin Shu was right about everything, you are right.

In order to brainwash Lin Shu, Zhao Meifeng stayed for a long time and refused to leave.

Lin Shu was not polite either, and asked her to help her weed and catch insects in the vegetable garden. Whenever she was lazy, Lin Shu reminded her, which made her tired.

Zhao Meifeng: "Okay, you do it yourself. I have to order fat chickens and ducks from every house. When the leaders of the memorial service come, I have to set up wine and treat them, right?"

Lin Shu sneered in her heart. The host hasn't agreed to you yet, and you are arranging it yourself.

This couple really doesn't understand what people say. My father-in-law said no, but they are still making trouble

. You deserve to lose money.

Zhao Meifeng felt that it was a done deal.

She hurriedly found Lu Shaocai and discussed the matter with him.

Lu Shaocai: "Did uncle and aunt give the money?"

Zhao Meifeng: "The third brother's family agreed. I will order the things first, and then ask them for the money."

They are used to taking advantage of the second uncle. They think that if they can take over the job, what's wrong with a memorial service?

The couple is of the same character, only thinking about what they believe in, without considering the facts and other people's feelings.

They never understood how sad the old couple were after losing their son, how much they didn't want to hold a memorial service, let alone a banquet, and they didn't even consider that Lu Shaotang didn't owe anything to Lu Dabo after losing his second wife.

They thought that of course the second uncle had always been obedient to them, and this time at most he would complain a little, wipe his tears, and the second uncle would still admit it.

Lu Shaocai: "Then I'll go order paper to make wreaths or something, it has to be urgent."

Zhao Meifeng: "Order more! If you can't make it, buy all the inventory."

How can you make money if you don't order more?

Lu Shaocai rode his bike to the commune from a small road. The commune had a paper- paper
