Chapter 15 Worth it

Chapter 15 Worth it
Shen Meng clenched her hands slightly, placed them under her nose and head, and looked at the two people with a choked voice.

"Thank you so much, Sister Guihua, Aunt Chen. I was young and ignorant before. When Zhenping was not at home, I had no idea what to do. It was just like living at my parents' home. I listened to my parents-in-law in everything. I raised the children the same way as others did. If I saw something wrong, I would just beat them with a stick. I didn't understand what was going on. Sigh, this time I really figured it out. Everyone has their own destiny. In the future, I will study hard, live a good life, and take good care of my body. This will be considered as doing justice to Zhenping. Sister-in-law, Aunt Chen, I will have to trouble you in the future."

"It's nothing. I'm already so old. If you don't understand something, just ask me. I'm a girl from a young age. I understand you. It's getting late. We'll go back now. I'll come back to see you tomorrow. Take good care of yourself, Ha Xiaomeng."

"I won't stay any longer. There are many things going on at home. Xiao Meng, listen to Aunt Jin Ling. Take good care of yourself and your spirit. Then raise your child to be a good person. Your life will be good in the future."

Seeing that they all stood up and were about to leave, Shen Meng struggled to get off the kang to see them off, but Tian Guixiang and Chen Jinling quickly stopped her.

"What are you doing? I just told you to take good care of yourself. We are all from the same village, so you don't need to see me off. Be well, Sister Wang, we will be back soon. You guys are busy."

"Okay, Aunt Chen, Sister Guixiang, I won't see you off. It's not easy for your mother to get the things. There's no need for so many good things. Take them home for yourself and your children."

Shen Meng waved her hand, and Wang Guizhi quickly took the brown sugar eggs and dried vegetables they brought.

"Her aunt can't do this. We are very happy that you can come to see Xiao Meng. How can we ask for your things? Take them back quickly."

"Hey, Sister Wang, what are you doing? We gave this to Xiao Meng to eat. She is seriously injured and it is time for her to recuperate. Don't worry about it. Just accept it."

"That's right, Auntie. These are not worth Shen Meng's money. We have more at home. You can save them for Xiao Meng. Don't be so polite. Auntie, if you continue to do this, I will be angry and I won't come next time."

"No, I can't. After talking to you for a while today, I know you are straightforward people. I'm counting on you to take care of my little Meng and my grandchildren. I'll have to trouble you on weekdays. I can't collect anything anymore. Take it quickly, take it quickly."

Several people pushed and shoved each other out of the door, and kept pushing and shoving until they reached the front door. The noise was getting louder and louder, and the children who were eating in the kitchen were so scared that they stretched their heads to look outside.

Shen Fugui picked up a piece of food for Lu Mingkai with chopsticks and said, "Don't look at it. They are just pretending to be polite. It's just to save face. Your grandmother will take those things back soon. Don't worry."

He actually didn't want to tell the children directly, but the little ones were looking at him eagerly, as if he was afraid that they would really take the things away.

Sure enough, after a while Wang Guizhi came back with those things. Lu Mingyang took a look and found that they were intact, with nothing missing.

Wang Guizhi carried the things into the room again, opened Shen Meng's kang cabinet, and put the things in. Looking at the mess in the room, she felt uncomfortable.

"The fourth son of the Lu family and his wife didn't even bother to clean up after they moved out. Look at the mess in this house. The mats in the west room have been taken away, and there's not even any firewood in the kitchen. If your father hadn't lost his face and went out to borrow some, we wouldn't even have anything to eat at night. Hey, my daughter, tell me how your life has become like this. You were so smart before you got married, but you were really fooled by your mother-in-law. You have no brains anymore."

Shen Meng lowered her eyes and said nothing. Listening to Wang Guizhi chattering, she felt inexplicably close to her. When the director's mother visited her when she was a child, she also chattered like this, and she felt the same way close to her.

"Look at me, I'm busy talking. Are you hungry, Xiao Meng? I'll go get you something to eat. Eat and then take your medicine. Sleep well at night. I'll be watching over you."

"Hey!" Shen Meng waited until she went out before shaking her neck and looking around at everything in the room. Zhou Jiaojiao and Lu Jiaxuan had packed up their things very neatly. The room was filled with furniture that her parents' family had given her when she got married, which was difficult to take away. The newspapers on the walls had all been lifted up by the couple.

It’s better to uncover it now, so she doesn’t have to uncover it again.

There were many things that needed to be bought at home. She would wait a few days. She could go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune with a bullock cart. Then she could decorate the house however she wanted. After Wang Guizhi took the things, Shen Meng ate a little. Her head still hurt. After eating, she lay down and prepared to sleep. After a while, Wang Guizhi brought a basin of hot water. After she wet the towel, she gently wiped Shen Meng's face and hands, and then changed a rag to wipe her feet.

Shen Meng had already woken up when she was wiping her face. She was deeply shocked, but she didn't open her eyes to talk to her. Now she needed to rest well and take good care of her body so that she could better repay the original owner's parents.

Wang Guizhi watched over Shen Meng as she slept at night and woke up many times. Shen Meng knew all of this and only took a nap in the morning.

When Shen Meng woke up, Wang Guizhi and Shen Fugui had already swept the yard, washed the clothes, and tidied the house inside and out. Several children also went to the foot of the mountain with them and picked up some dry firewood to dry in the yard.

She was still busy with this when she went out. Wang Guizhi was very happy to see her come out.

"How are you, Xiao Meng? Are you feeling better? Doctor Lu said yesterday that as long as you don't have a fever, there won't be a big problem. Are you hungry, my dear? I have stewed some eggs for you. I'll serve them to you."

"Thank you, Mom. Thank you and Dad for your hard work."

"You are our daughter. It is not my duty to take care of you. Go wash your face."

"it is good!"

Shen Meng looked at Wang Guizhi with a smile, and when she turned around, her eyes met those of the four children. Then she saw the four children all turned their faces away.

Shen Meng: “…”

Don’t be too obvious about your dislike!!!

After breakfast, Wang Guizhi and Shen Fugui had to go back home. There were a lot of things to do at home. If they hadn't been worried about their daughter, they would have gone back last night.

When they are at their daughter's house, they have to eat her food. If they eat one more bite, the daughter and the children will eat one less bite.

"Mom, wait a minute. Take this money and the meat coupons. Zhenping sends money and food coupons home every month. I don't need so much. The food the production team gives me is good, but it will be conspicuous if I take it out. When I get better, I will go home to see you and my father."

He is willing to risk his life for his child. This love alone is enough to make Shen Meng treat him this way.

"Silly child, your parents don't want this. As long as you live a good life in the future, it's better than anything else. Your father asked me to tell you to take good care of the children in the future. All the children are good. You don't have to treat them like before." As Wang Guizhi said this, she pushed the bills back, tightened the pilled and white towel on her head, and was about to go out.

"Mother, you take it. You and my father are so good to me. I will feel uncomfortable if I don't take it. I know how our family lives. I will be obedient and live a good life in the future. But don't push away the good things. Keep them for yourself. Take this money home and spend it. Even if my daughter is married, she is still your daughter. It is my duty to respect you. Take it. If you don't take it, I will not come home in the future."

She stuffed the money into Wang Guizhi's arms, turned her head away pretending to be angry, but she was still watching Wang Guizhi's movements out of the corner of her eye.
