Chapter 12 This kid is a bit cunning

After Shen Meng and others went out, she lay down directly on the kang. She talked for a while and felt dizzy. Wang Guizhi was also very tired, but she couldn't rest yet since her daughter was lying down. Looking at the silent children, she pulled Lu Mingkai to her side.

"Xiao Meng, the children are probably still hungry. There are some egg cakes in your kang cabinet. Why don't you give them some to fill their stomachs? When you move back, I'll cook something for you. I'll ask your father to go home and get some food."

Shen Meng closed her eyes and said weakly, "Okay, mother, take it. There is still some brown sugar in the kang cabinet. It is just right for making some water. You all can drink some. I am not doing well and have made you and my father tired. You don't have to go back tonight. Find someone to take a message home and go back tomorrow. After the food is distributed, there will be rice at home."

Wang Guizhi felt sad when she heard what her daughter said. She took the key of the kang cabinet and unlocked it. She gave Mingliang, Mingfang and Mingkai each an egg cake, and made a large teacup of brown sugar water and put it on the table for the children to drink.

The child, who was always beaten and scolded, was suddenly treated like this and didn't know what to do for a moment. Mingkai was young, and the egg cake in his hand was really delicious. He glanced at his mother furtively several times with his big eyes, but still didn't dare to eat it.

Mingliang and Mingfang didn't eat either. One of them rolled his eyes and wanted to ask for another one for his eldest brother, while the other one really didn't dare to. It was not like their mother had given them one before, but she would regret it after they ate it and beat them when they were caught. Thinking of this, their buttocks began to hurt.

The little girl panicked and put the cloth in her hand on the kang, and stuffed the egg cake in her hand into Wang Guizhi's hand.

"Grandma, I'm not hungry. You eat. I..."

"Eat, Mingfang. Grandma is here. Your mother doesn't dare to hit you. Just now, your mother said that she will never hit you again. She knows she was wrong. Grandma said in front of your mother today that if she dares to hit you again, I will no longer recognize her as my daughter."

Lu Mingfang was still scared after hearing this. Lu Mingliang, who was standing next to her, grabbed the egg cake from Wang Guizhi's hand and stuffed it into Mingfang's hand.

"Sister, you eat and listen to grandma and mom. Mom is still sick, we have to eat well and take care of her!" After Lu Mingliang said this, he smiled ingratiatingly at Wang Guizhi and Shen Meng.

Although he is very young, he is very cunning. Shen Meng sighed as she watched him. Even though he acted like he cared about her a lot, the kid was so young that he couldn't hide the fear and indifference in his eyes.

Wang Guizhi reached out and hugged Lu Mingkai, coaxing him affectionately, and fed him the warm brown sugar water bit by bit.

"Mingkai, be good. Drink some sugar water and eat the cake. Grandma will make delicious food for you and your brothers and sisters in the evening."

Shen Meng also smiled and said, "Yes, your grandma will make delicious food for you in the evening. Didn't your fourth aunt say that she would give you brown sugar and eggs? Mother, make a pot of brown sugar and eggs in the evening, and each person in our family will have a bowl."

"Oh! Okay, let's make some nourishment for them." Originally, Wang Guizhi didn't want to be so wasteful, but looking at the thin child and her seriously injured daughter, she wanted to make all the good things to nourish their bodies.

She held little Mingkai in her arms, and when she touched him, she felt a handful of nauseating bones. Alas, the child had suffered so much.

Lu Mingfang and Lu Mingliang chewed the sweet egg cake and drank some brown sugar water from time to time. They felt like they were dreaming. No, they wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous even in their dreams. They were eating the egg cake from their mother's kang cabinet. They were trying to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. They were too ambitious.

Lu Mingfang ate with trepidation, fearing that Shen Meng would come after her when she recovered. After eating one, she dared not eat any more. Lu Mingliang didn't care. He felt that Shen Meng was half dead, so he might as well eat the egg cake in his hand quickly. It would be best if he could have another after eating one, otherwise he would have no chance in the future.

He is not afraid of the bad woman beating him afterwards, he is grown up now, he will run away if she beats him, and she herself said that she will not live long, he is not afraid at all!!!
When he took the third one, Shen Meng said that egg cakes these days are very dry and eating too much will make your stomach uncomfortable.

"Okay, Mingliang, there are still a few left. Leave some for your eldest brother. Drink the sugar water in the teacup. Your grandma will make you something delicious tonight. Don't worry. Take Mingfang to see it and pack your things. We will move back to our own home later."

Lu Mingliang's hand holding the egg cake paused slightly, and then he took away all the egg cakes.

"Okay, mom, I'll keep the egg cake. I'll give it to my eldest brother when he comes back. Hey, mom, you take a rest. Mingfang and I are packing up."

"You are such a sensible kid. Don't worry. If there is anything heavy that you can't lift, tell grandma and she will get it for you!"

Lu Mingliang chuckled, hid the egg cake, then turned to look at Wang Guizhi and said, "Okay, grandma."

Shen Meng didn't care about his thoughts, she was just afraid that she would not bring it out. This boy was a bit cunning, and Shen Meng silently labeled him in her heart.

Liu Sanjin watched Lu Bangde and Zhang Hongfa weighing the grain, her eyes turned red with heartache, her hands holding the door frame were shaking. Zhou Jiaojiao and Lu Jiaxuan, who came over with their beddings, also looked unhappy. However, there were many people outside who were peeking in to watch the fun, and although they were reluctant, they still smiled.

Although everyone didn't know what was going on, they just saw Shen Meng's mother running out of the Lu family with messy hair and blood on her face. She said that Shen Meng was about to die. The old lady of the Lu family was biased and didn't want to call a doctor because she wanted to give the brick house in the main house to her youngest son. Thinking about it, it was indeed the fourth son of the Lu family who had been living in the main house for half a year. Combined with the fact that Shen Meng's father had gone to find doctor Lu Changhong before, everyone felt very sad.

I really didn't expect that Mrs. Liu, who always says that she treats her daughter-in-law as her own daughter, is so thoughtful. It turns out that a family cannot do without a man. Seeing that Zhenping is serving in the army outside, she bullies his mother.

Some young wives who were secretly bullied by their mothers-in-law burst into tears immediately. They felt the same way and put themselves in Shen Meng's shoes. They imagined Shen Meng's life in the Lu family to be extremely difficult. They almost forgot about the time when Shen Meng often beat and scolded the children with a stick.

It is common to beat and scold children in the countryside. Naughty children will not learn their lesson unless they are beaten. Beating is a sign of love and scolding is a sign of care. How can a mother not think about the well-being of her children?

Shen Meng didn't know that her reputation had improved a little. She looked at the bags of grain in front of her, the twelve yuan, brown sugar and eggs on the kang table, and felt very happy.
