Chapter 162: Dumb, timid, and henpecked
"Brother, Mingyang and Mingliang, you are back. Come back to the room and thank me. I have served you some food. Sister-in-law has already eaten, so you should eat something quickly. There are still a few pairs of shoes to be cleaned. I will go and take care of them first and then talk to sister-in-law. Oh, she is asleep now. Be careful when you go back to the room and don't wake her up!"
Everyone: "."
This is not just a case of someone being crazy or having a broken brain, this is someone being crazy or having a lost soul!!!
Mingliang was raised by his mother to be a very picky person, so he didn't want to eat the food in the nursing home. Besides, there was some good food left over from lunch at home, so he had to save his stomach for dinner!
"Aunt, we've already had dinner at Uncle and Aunt's place, so let's save the food at home for dinner in the evening. Go ahead and get busy. Dad, my brother and I also need some sleep!"
Lu Lanhua's face froze, and she looked at Lu Zhenping hesitantly. Why was she waiting here after hanging the clothes? Wasn't it just to let Lu Zhenping see how much work she had done? It was very cold, and Shen Meng not only found her a pile of dirty clothes, but also a basin of stinky shoes. She was almost freezing to death washing them. As her eldest brother, he should at least feel sorry for her.
Unexpectedly, the adults didn't say anything, but Lu Mingliang answered here. This was against the rules, but no matter what, she still looked at Lu Zhenping with some hope, hoping that he was not as Shen Meng said, dull, timid, afraid of his wife, and would quarrel with his parents for Shen Meng in order to prevent the family from breaking up.
When Lu Zhenping heard Lu Lanhua say that Shen Meng was sleeping, his eyelids twitched suddenly. He saw that she didn't speak for a long time. When he looked up, he saw her staring at him intently. His eyes moved, and he remembered what his wife told him.
"Um, Lan, Lanhua, you go ahead and do your work. Wash up and go home early. Don't make your sister-in-law angry. I'll go see your sister-in-law. If she doesn't see me when she wakes up, she'll be furious."
After Lu Zhenping finished speaking, he ran into the house.
Lu Lanhua: “.”
Useless thing, it's a waste of your height!!!
Mingyang and Mingliang tried hard to act innocent and skipped towards their house. Suddenly, Lu Lanhua was the only one left in the yard. Her hands, which had been soaked in cold water, felt slightly hot and itchy. After drying them, her frozen fingertips had lost their intuition. Looking at the basin of shoes beside the water tank, she gritted her teeth and walked over. Not for anything else, but for the job of the ticket seller, it was no big deal for her to endure the nausea for a while.
Over at the old courtyard, Zhou Jiaojiao was crying with her hands covering her mouth. Her original intention was to let her two aunts take a liking to Shen Meng's job quota, so that she could also experience the pain of being caught in a dilemma and being forced into a situation. However, she didn't expect that she could be so cruel, making things difficult for a pregnant woman, and even revealing the fact that she had a job. She was really heartless.
"How can this be possible? My job at the textile factory was personally offered to me by the wife of the factory director. It is impossible to give it away or sell it. If they knew about it, would they let it go? Jiaxuan has only been a regular employee for a short time. Dad, Mom, Sister Miaomiao, aren't you afraid that the factory will find out and embarrass Jiaxuan?"
"If you don't want to give it, then don't give it. Why are you trying to trick me? If you can't give your job, then how can I give up my sister-in-law's job? Zhou Jiaojiao, are you trying to instigate me and my elder sister to go after my sister-in-law?"
Zhou Jiaojiao turned her head with tears on her face and looked at Lu Miaomiao, which made Lu Miaomiao feel guilty. She covered her face with her hands and cried fiercely. "I, I really can't explain it clearly. The job of my sister-in-law was given by the county government, and it was also for my brother's face. But my sister-in-law is a military wife, and my parents and we are all military families. As long as it can reduce the burden on my brother's family, this job doesn't matter who does it. I'm so kind but I'm treated like a donkey's liver and lungs. Why is life so difficult, wuwuwu."
Lu Miaomiao blushed so much. She was not as smart as Lu Lanhua and was fooled by just a few words. After all, Shen Meng had already agreed to sell the quota. In her heart, she was very sure that what Zhou Jiaojiao said was right.
Only Wu Xianglan, who had already been enlightened, could not help but roll her eyes. They were military dependents, not even family members. Shen Meng was a military dependent, for sure.
But Shen Meng now made her a little angry. If she refused, she would just refuse. How could she let her two sisters-in-law covet the job quota of the fourth brother's wife in the textile factory? Wasn't it agreed before that it was hers? She could only report after the New Year. So she stole it from Zhou Jiaojiao and took it out quietly.
"Don't say those things. If you just tell them that you're giving me the job, they won't agree. Look at yourself. Your stomach is beating like a ball. How can you go to work? It's hard to work. You might as well go to work for me. Then I can give you your salary for the time you gave birth to the baby. You don't have to work and you can get several months' salary for free. What a wonderful thing!"
"Miao Miao, stop talking nonsense. Who are you trying to fool? You've seen Jiao Jiao's bad temper for a long time, so you just want to bully her, right? This job is hers, and she can still make money after giving birth to a child. What you said is very good. Give her a few months' salary, and you will have a stable job for life. It's a beautiful thought. Parents, please say something. This Jiao Jiao's job cannot be given to Miao Miao. You can feel sorry for your daughter, but you have to think about your own family, right?"
If you want to give it to someone, give it to me, your obedient, sensible and non-delinquent second daughter-in-law Wu Xianglan!!!
Lu Miaomiao did not dare to confront Wu Xianglan. After all, Lu Jiahe had already done something wrong to Wu Xianglan. If she said something that made Wu Xianglan angry, she would go back to her parents' home in anger, leaving Yongqiang and Yongli behind, causing unrest in her parents' home. If it got out that it was her fault, it would be bad for her reputation as she was a city dweller now.
Liu Sanjin's face looked very ugly. In the past, she felt very proud when her two daughters came home. There was no old lady in the village who did not envy her. It was no exaggeration to say that she was the leader among the old ladies in Lujia Village. But now, she was disciplined by Shen Meng and was bullied by the old men and ladies every time she went back to the village.
Now that her two daughters have returned home, she originally wanted them to help her regain some face. However, when she went to the village to show off that she had two excellent daughters, the eldest daughter went to the old lady's house to wash clothes and sweep the floor, and the youngest daughter stayed at home and was thinking about her daughter-in-law's job. Neither of them was useful anymore.
"Stop making a fuss. It's getting late. Go do what you need to do. Don't cry, Fourth Brother's wife. You're carrying Fourth Brother's first baby. If it's a boy, you'll be a crybaby. There's no way you can have so much cat urine every day. Let's go."
Lu Miaomiao's eyes turned red, and she looked at Lu Changzhu and shouted aggrievedly, "Dad, say something!"
Lu Changzhu originally had no plan to let his two daughters go home, for fear that his relationship with Lu Zhenping would deteriorate further. Now given the situation, he doesn't want to care at all. His children have already started their own families, and there is no point in him worrying about them. Everyone has his own destiny.
"What are you talking about? It was your mother who asked you to come back. I don't have time to take care of you. Just do what you need to do. I'm going to go out for a walk."
Seeing that he didn't want to get involved, Liu Sanjin secretly hated him in his heart, "Old man, you only care about that one son, as if the one you gave birth to is not as good as his bastard son!!!"
