Chapter 143: Think about the children
Shen Meng entered the old courtyard carrying two pairs of big-toed cotton shoes and a pound of brown sugar. When she entered the courtyard, she felt a little dazed, as if she had not been here for a long time. As soon as she arrived, she saw Zhou Jiaojiao coming out with a basin of water, which almost splashed on her.

"Oh, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't see you, are you okay?"

Shen Meng met her eyes that seemed to be half-smiling but half-smiling. It was obvious that she was doing it on purpose and was pretending to be nice to her.

"It's okay. What's there to be afraid of with just a little water? Your eldest brother just bought me officer boots. They look nice, comfortable and warm. He bought them at the Friendship Store in Haicheng. Most people can't get them. Look, he also bought sturdy big-toed cotton shoes for my parents. As a son and daughter-in-law, the most important thing we should do is to respect our parents. Now that Jiaxuan has been promoted, you will soon have a stable job. I wonder if you have bought anything for your parents?"

Liu Sanjin, who came out of the house after hearing the noise, froze on her face. Her youngest son had been working for so long, but apart from a salary of five yuan in the first month, he had never given her a penny, let alone anything. She had not received a penny at all.

Zhou Jiaojiao listened to the footsteps, turned around and saw Liu Sanjin with a bad face. She hurriedly said, "Mom, don't listen to what my sister-in-law said. Jiaxuan said he would buy you a headscarf after he got his salary this month. Don't you like that maroon headscarf? He has already picked it out and is waiting to give it to you during the Chinese New Year!"

After hearing what she said, Liu Sanjin's expression softened a little. When he saw Shen Meng coming over with a lot of bags, the smile on his face became even bigger.

"Xiao Meng is here, why did you bring so many old things?"

"Mom, I'm not here to bring something to you and Xianglan. The children were hungry and sleepy yesterday, and Zhenping couldn't come because he had to send my brother and the others off. Look, these are the big-toed cotton shoes that Zhenping brought from Haicheng especially for you and dad. They're filled with rabbit fur, and the toes are made of top-grain cowhide. You and dad should try them on first. This is the purple headscarf I bought for you at the supply and marketing cooperative. I'm a kind-hearted person, and I bought it for you quickly because I thought it was getting cold, so you don't have to wait any longer. If you wait, your face will be chapped. I'll give this brown sugar to Xianglan. It's not easy for her to take care of the children alone. Don't let her quarrel with Jiahe again, which will give mom and dad a headache."

Liu Sanjin looked at Shen Meng in surprise. She thought that her eldest daughter-in-law must have been possessed by a ghost, otherwise how could she care so much about her, especially speaking so nicely. She glanced at the rising sun. Well, it was rising from the east.

"Mom, Zhenping and I remember you quarreling for the children. The children kept praising you last night. I'll give this to you. I'm going to go see Xianglan."

It was enough to disgust Zhou Jiaojiao. She was too lazy to deal with Liu Sanjin anymore and disgust herself no more.

Liu Sanjin was very happy to have taken so many things. Although he was reluctant to give up the half pound of brown sugar, he couldn't argue with Shen Meng now, otherwise, what would he do if the things in his hands were taken away again?

Wu Xianglan was knitting a sweater. She heard the voices outside, but pretended not to hear them. She had come to understand Shen Meng. This person was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. It would be much better to follow such a person than to follow Zhou Jiaojiao.

"Sister-in-law is here?"

"I came to deliver something to my parents, and I brought you some brown sugar as well. I also brought some coconut candy for Yongqiang and Yongli. These are from Haicheng, and we don't have them here. I brought more, so you can have a try."

Wu Xianglan's face lit up with joy, but she was a little at a loss when she saw Shen Meng's sincere eyes. She wiped her hands on her clothes before taking the things Shen Meng gave her. She put the brown sugar on the table, peeled two coconut candies, and gave one to Yongqiang and Yongli respectively. Then she turned around and looked at Shen Meng.

"I'm so sorry, sister-in-law. You came here, but why did you bring so many things?" "I'm their aunt, and it's only right that I give them some good things. Besides, these two children are also pitiful."

Hehe!!!

Shen Meng touched her chest. She felt sorry for herself for saying such disgusting words.

When Wu Xianglan heard her say this, she suddenly thought of her husband who often went out to find someone he had chosen, and her heart suddenly felt sour. She had been married to the Lu family for so long, and few people really cared about her. Only the eldest sister-in-law Shen Meng could be so generous as to give her a pound of brown sugar in one go.

She used to envy Shen Meng for often giving Xie Jing delicious food, but now that it was her turn, she realized that such sincere concern was much better than just saying nice things, and she felt very touched.

"Sister-in-law, what you said hits the nail on the head. That bastard Jiahe has never cared about the three of us. He has caused one trouble after another, and he is even thinking about going after that vixen Liu Suqin. I am so sad!"

Shen Meng: “.”

Why are you suffering? You have been making money every time you make a fuss about this matter. Now you are wearing a new cotton-padded jacket. I see that you are very happy!
"Sister-in-law knows, sister-in-law understands. In addition to sending you something today, I also want to advise you that instead of thinking about yourself, you should think more about the two children. They look old, but you don't want to send them to school. You don't expect them to be successful and have a good future like their uncle. Xianglan, everything is fake. Only money in your hands is real!"

Wu Xianglan stopped crying, and her eyes lit up when she looked at Shen Meng. She was not smart, but there was a smart person in front of her. She was also a mother, so how could she not hope for the best for her child!

"Sister-in-law, are you willing to help me? Are you willing to give me the quota for the textile factory?"

Shen Meng: “.”

What sweet dreams are you having? It’s only dawn!!!
"I'm not the only one in our family who has a quota. We have four children and the expenses are high. But Jiaojiao is different. Jiaojiao is pregnant. Will she have to go to work with a big belly next year? Besides, Jiahe is now a regular employee. One person earns money and two people eat. In addition, mother helps out from time to time. You are the only one in the family. It would be fine if Jiahe felt sorry for you three, but for him, you should think about it carefully. That's all I can say."

After Shen Meng left, Wu Xianglan sat alone for a long time, looking at Yongqiang and Yongli sitting beside the kang. She decided to be ruthless for once. Her sister-in-law was right. Jiaojiao was pregnant. Even if there was a quota for this worker, she could only work for a few more days. Wouldn't this add burden to the textile factory?
Another thing is that Zhou Jiaojiao has a close relationship with the wife of the director of the textile factory. Even if she lost this position, she would definitely have other job opportunities, but she herself could not. She is just a country woman. If she does not have this opportunity, she will never be able to provide a good life for her two children. The notice is anonymous.

Wu Xianglan's eyes were filled with desire, greed and determination to win!!!
