Chapter 142 Remember This Favor
Shen Meng noticed Lu Zhenping's confusion, so she moved closer to him and said, "I bought it at the supply and marketing cooperative, and it cost me a lot of money. I'll consider it a favor to you. Look at the way my brother and sister-in-law look at you, they're so charming."

Lu Zhenping followed her gaze and looked back at his uncles. He almost got goose bumps all over his body. They were too creepy.

Several men were talking in the main room. Mingyang Mingliang and several other children were sitting close to Lu Zhenping. They were really frightened today.

Shen Meng was afraid that they were hungry, so she took out the dumplings she bought from the state-owned restaurant, heated them up on the coal stove, and quickly let them eat. There were many people, so Lu Qinlan helped to boil the pot. Shen Meng took a piece of smoked bacon and half-cut cabbage, stir-fried them for a few times, added water, and directly put a large pot of noodles. For the small pot over there, she took out ten prepared pie doughs from the cupboard and asked Su Xiaomei to grease them with oil and start to fry them.

The crispy and golden pie and the delicious noodles were ready in a short while. After the fish brought back from the county town was heated up, the family sat around the table and started eating.

"Brother, brother, take this bag with you when you go back. In it are officer boots for our parents, your big-toed cotton shoes, and headscarves for our sister-in-law and sister-in-law. Xiaobin, take this bag of clothes with you tonight. The food in this lunch box is for Xiangxiang and Director Guo. The rice porridge in this thermos bucket is for Daya's mother."

"Your family has become rich, and we have food and drink, and we have bought so many things. Little sister, your hands should not be so big. You have no idea how much money it takes to afford it. It's not easy for Zhenping to be a soldier. His little allowance is used to support his children. How can he buy so many things for us? If we don't want them, you can return them. If you really can't return them, take them to the county town and sell them."

Shen Shoutian ate noodles while slurping them, and did not forget to educate his sister. It was something many people envied that country people wore cotton shoes with thousand-layer soles, but his sister was so good that she bought so many big-toed cotton shoes for him. How much money would it cost? Even city people would have to grit their teeth and stamp their feet if they wanted to buy such a pair.

He didn't believe that his brother-in-law would think of buying it for them. He was very touched before, but when he thought about it, Lu Zhenping was not only thinking about his parents, but also thinking about them, his brothers. If he added the brothers on his side, this year's allowance might not be enough.

"Your elder brother is right, Xiao Meng. You can't spend money like this. It's better for you two to live a good life. Don't think about us for everything. We don't need shoes and headscarves. In winter, we can just wrap ourselves in a towel and stay at home every day. We don't need headscarves. Just listen to your elder brother. Take this thing to the county town to sell it!"

Shen Meng: “.”

How could that be possible? She had just pulled it out of the space with great difficulty, and it would get moldy if she didn't use it anymore. Especially with the crops growing in the fields, her granary was almost full.

"You can't resell them. These things are all from Zhenping's kindness. His comrade-in-arms bought them from the Friendship Store. One pair can be worn for many years. Keep them. Now it's dark, so you can sneak them home."

Lu Zhenping also hurriedly spoke up, "What Xiao Meng said is true. I have been away for many years. Xiao Meng has been raising four children alone. Dad, Mom, and Big Brother have all taken good care of her. These things are my way of thanking you. If you don't accept them, I've bought them for nothing. Besides, they are all your sizes. You can sell them anywhere else!"

Since he had already said so, it was difficult for Shen Shoutian and the others to refuse. After all, this was the intention of their brother-in-law. Although the intention was indeed great, it also proved that he truly treated them as family.

After the meal, Shen Shoutian and several others left on their bicycles. Shen Xiaobin did not leave. He tied his bag to the back seat of the bicycle, put several lunch boxes and thermos bottles in the pocket, and rode to the health center.

Mingfang and Mingliang both slept with Shen Meng at night. Looking at her daughters' delicate little faces and their bodies moving towards her from time to time, she felt so distressed.

"You have committed a great sin, my children." "It's okay. I will take them to exercise more later. No matter what time, people must be able to protect themselves. I didn't have the heart to do it before because I thought they were too young. Starting tomorrow, Mingfang will also have to exercise with me."

Shen Meng was touching Mingfang's little face, feeling very sad. After listening to Lu Zhenping's words, she felt even worse.

"That is a greater sin!"

Lu Zhenping: “.”

The next day, the matter of Laizi's family exploded in Lujia Village. Adults and children began to discuss it. Many elderly people scolded Director Guo for being confused, but the women who were often bullied by their parents-in-law and men admired Director Guo very much.

Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa went to the clinic again. After Yu Xueli applied again, they brought Director Guo to hold a meeting at the brigade headquarters. The matter was even reported to the commune. The director of the commune office also found Lu Jiaxuan to learn about Yu Xueli's situation and sent an officer to Laizi's home.

When they heard that the medical expenses would be more than 60 yuan, Laizi's family unanimously decided to divorce and would not let Yu Xueli take anything away. The two staff members were so angry at their attitude that they gritted their teeth. In fact, they had an idea when they entered the door and said the medical expenses were 60 instead of 16 yuan. If it were another family, they would sell everything they had to save the patient first, but this family was good and valued money more than human life.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Yu Xueli finally got the divorce certificate she had longed for.

Director Guo walked to her bed carrying a basket of oranges and sighed.

"Shirley, you will be alone from now on. The village has granted you a piece of housing land. These days, Xiaomeng, Xiangxiang and some women in the village have been helping you drag adobe bricks. Everyone is working together to help you. You must work hard in the future, earn work points, and take good care of Daya and Xiaoya. Everyone will help you."

"Hey, thank you, Director Guo. My child and I were able to leave the Xu family thanks to you. I kowtow to you."

She struggled to get up from the bed, and Guo Xiuqin quickly grabbed her.

"No, no, no, why are you kowtowing to me? As long as you live a good life in the future, it's better than anything else. Besides, you can get a divorce thanks to Xiaomeng and Zhenping. They asked Xiangxiang to stop me and let me go later. Those words and your medical expenses were also taught to me by Xiaomeng through Xiangxiang. You must remember this great favor!"

As Director Guo spoke, she took out the medical expenses that Lujia Village had raised for her. After paying for her expenses, she still had thirteen yuan left.

This was all collected little by little by the villagers, with you contributing one cent, I contributing two cents, he contributing five cents, and I contributing three cents. Yu Xueli's eyes turned red as she held the money, and soon she started to sob.
