Chapter 157 How Can She Be So Lucky?
After dinner, before the family returned home, they saw Wu Xianglan wandering around the door. When she saw Shen Meng, she hurried over.
"Brother, sister-in-law, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a while and I can't find you. Why aren't you at home for lunch in the middle of the day?"
"Oh, the village chief and the party secretary insisted on inviting our family to dinner today. Your eldest brother and I tried to refuse several times but couldn't, so we had to go."
Wu Xianglan: “.”
It sounds a bit like showing off!!!
"Let's not talk about this for now. Big brother and big sister-in-law, you don't know that Jiahe went to the county town today. Mother said that it's New Year's Day, and she wants big sister-in-law and little sister-in-law to come back. I mean, mother must have other things to do. Big sister-in-law and little sister-in-law basically don't go home unless they have nothing to do. Once they come back, who knows what kind of trouble they will cause. I think they will definitely frame big sister-in-law at that time. You should be aware of this!"
Wu Xianglan kept her eyes on Shen Meng when she said this. She heard that on the day of grain distribution, Mingfang took a piece of meat to Daya's house. It didn't make sense for her to be so nice to others and why she, a good sister-in-law, would treat her differently.
Shen Meng raised her eyebrows. No matter whether the family was split up, Lu Zhenping came back, or she and Zhou Jiaojiao got stable jobs, the two sisters-in-law never came back. This would never have happened in the past.
Lu Zhenping would remit their allowance every month. Although they didn't come back often, they would come back every month. The reason for this was, of course, the little money in Shen Meng's hands.
Regardless of whether they come back or not, the fact that Wu Xianglan came to tip off the enemy means that this chess piece is now in his hands!
Shen Meng pushed Lu Mingkai towards Lu Zhenping and took Wu Xianglan's hand with a smile.
"So, I knew that Xianglan, who is kind-hearted and beautiful, was thinking of me. Here, this is the candy that the director of the textile factory sent me last time. It's White Rabbit Milk Candy, bought in Shanghai. Our supply and marketing cooperatives don't sell this kind of candy. It's in an iron box. Take it and give it to Yongqiang and Yongli to sweeten their mouths. There's something in the future, and sister-in-law is counting on you!"
Wu Xianglan's face turned red due to being coaxed. She raised her chin proudly and reached out to take all the candies from Shen Meng's hand.
"Hey, sister-in-law, we are sisters, so why are we so polite? If you have anything to say, just tell me. Is there anything I can't tell you? Don't do this next time, or I'll be angry."
Shen Meng: “.”
You're welcome to take them all, and you almost took my ring away. I never thought you have such a shameless temperament!!!
After returning home, the three children, Mingyang, Mingliang and Mingfang, were all worried. Next to them was the heartless Lu Mingkai, who was grinning with his teeth bared.
"Brother, what should I do? The eldest and the youngest aunts are coming. They love to say bad things to me. I don't like them, and I don't like them either. Every time they come to me, they try to coax something out of me. It's the worst."
"Since we have separated, it is useless for them to come."
Mingliang muttered, "But Dad is here. They are his sisters. If they really cry and beg to borrow things, Dad will not give them to them."
"No."
In the room, Lu Zhenping held Shen Meng's hand and said this in a cold voice.
"Really?" Lu Zhenping nodded. He didn't have much affection for his two sisters. He didn't get along with them much when he was at home. Besides, the family was divided now and his two sisters were married. Even if they wanted things or money, they would not ask him but his parents.
"Normally, they should come to visit relatives during the New Year, but you see, they haven't come back since Laba Festival. Maybe something has happened."
"I just don't dare to come."
Shen Meng thought about it for a moment and understood what it meant. The original owner had been fooled by the Lu family before, and they could benefit from it, but whether it was a separation or a quarrel with the Lu family, they didn't want to get involved. Not long after, Lu Zhenping came back. They were worried that Lu Zhenping would be angry if he knew about the benefits they had received from the original owner, so they simply didn't come back.
Lu Miaomiao and Lu Lanhua arrived at the old Lu's house reluctantly. They had agreed on some things long ago, that they would just come over before the New Year, but they didn't expect Lu Jiahe to come and call them.
"Mom and Dad, this is the New Year gift that our old Joe and I brought to you. I haven't been home for a while. Are you all right?"
"Look at what elder sister said. Elder brother is back. Father and mother have been looking forward to it day and night. They are happy and naturally in good health. Father and mother, these are the things we brought. I bought this egg cake specially for the supply and marketing cooperative. It was in short supply during the New Year and I almost didn't get it."
Liu Sanjin saw that her two daughters not only came over, but also brought large and small bags to see her and were concerned about her. Thinking about the grievances she had suffered these days, her eyes reddened and tears fell.
"Miaomiao, Lanhua, my girls, I miss you so much these days. The family has split up, and your eldest brother is so influenced by others that I don't recognize him anymore. He doesn't listen to me at all. In the past, he always listened to you. Now you have to have a good talk with him. I am his mother, and mother and son are the closest. He can't be divorced from mother, right?"
Zhou Jiaojiao gently stroked her belly and wiped Liu Sanjin's tears with a handkerchief.
"Don't be sad, mom. If Sister Miaomiao and Sister Lanhua had said something in the past, my brother and sister-in-law would have listened to them. They thought their sisters were doing it for their own good. But now my sister-in-law is going to work as a ticket seller at the bus company. With such a popular job, who else would she care about? Sigh~."
"What? What did you say? Shen Meng has to go to work at the bus company. When did this happen?"
Zhou Jiaojiao sighed and explained everything in detail, and also vaguely mentioned the important person Lu Zhenping knew.
Lu Miaomiao and Lu Lanhua opened their mouths in surprise.
"How can she be so lucky? A ticket seller, even people with connections in the city can't get such a good job. How can she be so lucky?"
"Mom and Dad, my eldest sister and I will think about this carefully. We will go to Fifth Brother's house to ask at noon. We are brothers and sisters, the closest people. Even if there is a good thing, it will be for our family. My eldest sister-in-law is just a country woman. I'm afraid she doesn't even know what one plus one equals. How can she go to work? It would be bad if she embarrasses my eldest brother."
Wu Xianglan was also sitting nearby. After hearing what Zhou Jiaojiao said to Lu Miaomiao and Lu Lanhua, she immediately became suspicious. It was obvious that the fourth son's wife wanted Lu Miaomiao and Lu Lanhua to come and snatch the eldest sister-in-law's job.
She is smart now and is no longer the Wu Xianglan of the past. She can tell whether the fourth son's wife is saying good or bad things.
