Chapter 135 Where does the money come from
Some of them have followed the army, some have visited relatives, and some have participated in several such comrade-in-arms gatherings, where they were often ridiculed, or talked about when discussing how they spoke, did things, ate, and even drank water.
Some women want their men to be capable and support them, but some even despise them when they get home. This really makes them feel depressed. They have worked hard for so many years and don’t know why. However, Shen Meng spoke out what was in their hearts.
These are what they wanted to say before but didn’t know how to say them.
"Girl, what you said is really good. I wanted to say it before, but I just didn't know how to say it."
"Me too, me too. I used to come here and attend gatherings with my husband. What did they say about me? Oh, they said I smacked my lips when I ate, drank water and couldn't even drink a bottle of wine. They also said I burped and farted. Tell me, who doesn't burp and fart? She must be a god."
"Hahahaha, ouch, stop saying these rude words, or you'll get scolded again later."
"Hehehe, I'm just expressing my opinion. Captain Lu has a good eye. I really like you from the beginning, Xiao Meng."
Everyone started talking at once. The group of highly educated people next to Qin Hao's wife blushed a little, because they did think so before. Shen Meng's words slapped them in the face in the hearts of several people.
After serving in the army for several years, he forgot about his wife's hard work at home. If she hadn't taken such good care of them at home, how could they feel at ease serving in the army outside!
Several military wives looked at their men, saw the guilt and heartache in their eyes, and felt even happier for Shen Meng.
Shen Pingping's face turned pale. She didn't expect a country woman to be so good at talking and could speak so coherently. "Hiss~, what are you doing, brother? You're going to pinch my legs until they turn blue."
"Shen Pingping, I warn you, don't say anything more. If you want to stay, just eat this meal honestly. If you don't want to stay, just leave quickly and don't embarrass me anymore."
Shen Yi smiled, leaned close to Shen Pingping's ear and whispered.
Shen Pingping also realized that Shen Meng was not someone who was easy to mess with. In addition, Lu Zhenping was obviously angry, so she decided not to say anything more. After all, there were so many people here, and even if Lu Zhenping wanted to help her, some things would not be convenient to say.
She had no choice but to shut her mouth in grievance.
Lu Zhenping was so disgusted by the angry and resentful look that he almost couldn't eat. He turned his head to look at Shen Meng several times before he felt better.
Lu Mingkai ate a few dumplings, then clumsily picked up one with chopsticks and fed it to Shen Meng, and was praised as a good boy again.
Shen Meng took a bite and found it delicious. She thought about buying a few more and bringing them home for Mingyang and the other children to try.
The trouble maker kept silent, and the whole dinner went much better. After the meal, everyone took their own food coupons and money and pooled together to pay the bill.
Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping were the last to leave. When most of the others had left, she turned back and asked the waiter for three servings of cabbage and pork dumplings.
"These dumplings are delicious. Buy some and let Mingyang and the others have a taste."
"Okay, by the way, Qin Hao just told me that the officer boots I bought have arrived. He will deliver them to the supply and marketing cooperative for me later. Let's go home together later. Mingkai looks sleepy."
"it is good."
Qin Hao waited for him at the alley outside the supply and marketing cooperative for a while, and handed him a sack, a bag and a circle of banknotes. "Here, these are for you to help bring to Li Jun and Daniu."
"Ok!"
Qin Hao had met Shen Meng before, but he was not familiar with her. He did not expect this person to be so eloquent. He nudged Lu Zhenping with his elbow.
"Hey, I didn't expect your wife to be so talkative. Didn't you say before that she had never been to school? Why do I think she knows more than those who have been to school? You didn't see how ugly the faces of those military wives who always speak in a pretentious manner were when she said that!"
"Why didn't I see it? It's not like I wasn't there."
Qin Hao rolled his eyes at him.
"Tsk, what the hell did you see? Your eyes are almost glued to your wife. So many old comrades are talking to you, but you seem to be deaf and can't hear anything. But your wife is right. It's not easy to be a military wife. I feel sorry for my wife when I look at her. I have to go to my mother-in-law's house later. My wife loves the noodles she makes the most. I have to trouble her."
"Go away, go away, I'm annoyed just by seeing you!"
Lu Zhenping couldn't stand others showing off his wife in front of him. After all, he hadn't even started showing off yet!
Shen Meng bought three pairs of rain boots and three raincoats at the supply and marketing cooperative, as well as two bags of milk powder, four bottles of malted milk, and four boxes of peach cakes. The things that are most in demand in this weather are apples and oranges. Even for such things, I'm afraid that Li's sister-in-law and Daniu's wife would be reluctant to buy them.
The two people she named when she was at the state-owned restaurant were them. She remembered them when Lu Zhenping came to her house.
"Mom, these are available at home. These are available at home."
"Mom knows. These are bought for other brothers and sisters. It's not a waste of money. Don't worry!"
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, while she bent down to pack her things, she took out a piece of dark blue corduroy fabric from the space. It was just enough for two families, half for each, to make clothes.
"Why did you buy so many things?"
"Here, everything in this sack is for my two sisters-in-law. Take it!"
Shen Meng looked at Lu Zhenping who was somewhat surprised, and said speechlessly: "When you were at home, you often talked about how Li Jun and Daniu's families had a hard time, especially Daniu's family, who had three children to support. After he was discharged from the army, his parents directly separated their family. I know that during the years when Mingyang and his family were sent money, Li Jun and Daniu also sent money. I remember it too. Everything here is double. You can give as much as you want. I also spent thirty yuan to buy a piece of cloth, a full fifty meters. You can divide it between the two families. Li Jun's family has more people, so you can give two more meters. Send the things over when it's dark, and tell them to hide them so as not to arouse the jealousy of others."
When Lu Zhenping looked at Shen Meng, his eyes were shining. He was talking about the difficult life of Li Jun and Daniu's families, because most of their comrades had jobs arranged by their families or by the army. Only Daniu was injured and discharged, and Li Jun was still waiting for arrangements.
But he didn't expect Shen Meng to be so thoughtful and prepare so many things, including buying food, clothing and daily necessities.
"Hey, wife, I'm sorry to have cost you money."
Shen Meng chuckled, stretched out her hand to twist his ear, leaned close to him and said: "It's not expensive, but I really want to know, when you went home, you clearly said that you gave me all your money, so what did you use to buy such old-fashioned officer boots and a big fleece scarf?"
Lu Zhenping: “.Ugh!”
