Chapter 177 I Won't Give Up
Shen Meng was frightened by Zhou Jiaojiao's questioning. Nonsense, what shit and urine? That was clearly the scent of durian. The fake notice had been in her arms for such a long time, how could it be shit and urine? Zhou Jiaojiao looked weak and gentle, how could she say such dirty words.
Shen Meng was still thinking to herself, and everyone over there was already in an uproar. What? The thief was caught last, so he must be the most unlikely person, the most suspicious person.
Wu Xianglan was also shocked all over. She recalled that she might have dropped the notice because she was not paying attention when she went to the toilet, so her mother-in-law got it. What a sin! Such a good thing was covered with feces and urine, who among the county leaders would read it!
Isn’t this a waste of time?
"I, I, this is not mine, how come it's on me? I don't know what it is."
Liu Sanjin was very panicked. How could this thing be on her body? She went to the toilet this morning and had not been there since. How could it be on her body?
Lu Jiaxuan also ran over quickly. He hesitated for a moment and finally took the thing in Zhou Jiaojiao's hand. From the words and the stamp on it, one could tell at a glance that this was the notice that Jiaojiao would take out and read every day. At this moment, the contaminated handwriting on it was not clear, and there was some filth on it. It was impossible to take it to the factory for others to identify it, and no one would be willing to look at it. Moreover, it was so dirty that it could not be cleaned.
"Mom, I'm so disappointed in you. How could you use such an important thing to go to the toilet? You've ruined Jiaojiao's life."
These words were too heavy for Liu Sanjin to bear and he took three steps back.
"Oh, damn God, please make it snow soon. I am an old woman and feel really wronged. How did this thing get to me? I have no idea. I really didn't take it. What did I do with it? Jiaxuan, my son, I really didn't take it. Maybe your wife dropped it into the toilet, otherwise how could there be feces and urine on it? I feel really wronged. I feel more wronged than Dou E. Woo woo woo. What are you looking at? I really didn't take it. What use would I have for it?"
He glared at his mother angrily. No matter what she said, Lu Jiaxuan and Zhou Jiaojiao were unwilling to believe it. The two of them took the notice that was so dirty that it was unrecognizable and supported each other back to the room.
Lu Changzhu looked at Liu Sanjin with disgust. What could she not use to wipe her butt? She had to use her daughter-in-law's notice to wipe her butt. It was such a precious butt, but she had to use this iron rice bowl to wipe it. Okay, she wiped it, but she put it in her sleeve. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She didn't want to go to bed at night.
Liu Sanjin sat down on the ground and slapped her thighs hard. She was really wronged. How could she seek justice? How did that thing get on her body?
No matter how she cried and shouted, the people of the Liu family were unwilling to give up. She was wrongly accused for no reason, so she had to get something back. Lu Lanhua and Lu Miaomiao also looked very unhappy. They had spent hundreds of dollars together and got nothing. Moreover, they always felt that the notice that Lu Jiaxuan and Zhou Jiaojiao brought back to the house was actually theirs. Lu Miaomiao looked at Lu Lanhua fiercely and scratched her with a "woop".
Shen Meng watched with joy. She didn't care about the commotion. It had nothing to do with her anyway. In her previous life, some of the people in Lu Zhenping's family died, some were arrested, and some went crazy. These people had made great efforts. She would never give up. It didn't matter. Life was long anyway. She would slowly kill them.
After sending the man and the child home, Shen Meng went to Yu Xueli's home alone. It was really difficult for her to live as a woman with a child. She used to work with Zhou Jiaojiao to get work points. This year, the grain and labor bonus tickets she received were enough for her to eat if she gritted her teeth, but it was impossible for her to have enough to eat.
When going to the county town to purchase New Year's goods, Cheng Yufen said that their hospital kitchen was recruiting for a handyman. The work was hard and the salary was low. People from the county town wanted to work in the hospital through connections, and naturally they wanted an easy and cheap job. Few people were willing to do such heavy labor and undignified work.
Cheng Yufen just said this casually when she was talking to her, but Shen Meng remembered it in her heart and asked her to say hello. She gave Cheng Yufen a woolen triangular scarf with needlework and asked her to help keep it. People in the county town despise it, but no one in the country will despise it, and they will think it is a good job.
Yu Xueli was doing needlework. She bought two pieces of cloth and used the cotton coupons she had earned to buy three pounds of cotton. She made two pairs of cotton shoes for Daya and Xiaoya. This was the last one. She only needed two more stitches to finish it. Hearing a knock on the door, she stood up hurriedly, thought for a moment, and took a wooden stick from behind the door.
"Who?"
"Mother Daya, it's me. I'm here to talk to you about something good!" When Yu Xueli heard it was Shen Meng, she was so happy that she put down the things in her hands and hurried to open the door.
"Oh, it's so cold, why are you here instead of staying at home? Is the road slippery? Are you cold? Come in and drink some hot water."
"It's not cold. I'm very happy today. I was so happy. I went to the county town on the 27th. I happened to hear some news. I wanted to tell you, but it rained and snowed twice in a row. Zhenping wouldn't let me go out. Today the weather is good, so I hurried over."
Yu Xueli welcomed Shen Meng in, asked her to sit down, poured her a cup of hot water, and brought out a plate of peanuts from the cupboard.
"I cooked it myself. Try it and see if it's delicious. Big girl and little girl, come out and take a look. Your aunt is here."
"Auntie is here. Are you cold? Let me warm your hands."
"Little girl, let me give you some peanuts. Auntie, you can eat some peanuts. The peanuts fried by my mother are very delicious."
Shen Meng was very fond of these two sensible little kids. She didn't talk to Yu Xueli. She just hugged the two children and played with them for a while. After playing with the children for a while, she started talking about business.
"I went to the county town earlier and met Dr. Cheng from the county hospital. She was promoted to director this year and has a lot of influence in the hospital. When chatting with me, she said that their hospital kitchen was short of a handyman. Usually, not only does she have to move vegetables and fruits, cut and wash vegetables, but she also has to help burn the boiler. There are a lot of chores. Few people in the county town are willing to do it. They think it is not decent and very tiring. People in the city are unwilling to do it, but we are willing to do it. I don't think you can do it, Shirley. You are a woman. If you compete with those grown men in the countryside to earn work points, how can you support your two children? Listen to me, go ahead. It is a bit tiring, but with Dr. Cheng to help take care of you, no one will embarrass you."
Yu Xueli's eyes widened. What was Shen Meng talking about? Did she secretly find a job for her? In the hospital?
"How can I dislike you? I am so happy!"
"That's fine. I'm going to work in the county town after the Chinese New Year. We can go together then. Oh, by the way, although the work at the hospital is hard, the salary and benefits are quite good. It's 18.5 yuan a month. If we in the countryside want to get some valuable bills, the hospital will give some every month. If you don't mind, I'll ask someone to tell Doctor Cheng later!"
"No objection, no objection. How could I have any objection? Xiao Meng, I am so grateful to you. You are the benefactor of the three of us. Daya and Xiaoya bow to your aunt. If I can go to the county town to work and earn money to support you, I will never let you suffer. Daya, after the New Year, you will go to school with Mingfang. I will sell everything I have to support your education."
"Thank you, Auntie. Thank you, Auntie."
"Thank you, Auntie."
The two little girls were a little at a loss, but bowed to her obediently. Shen Meng touched the two children's hair and took out two cents of New Year's money from her pocket and gave each of them.
"Okay, Daya, you should study hard and be filial to your mother in the future. Your mother doesn't want anything from you."
When Shen Meng left Yu Xueli's house, she was thinking about who else she could use. She had to choose people who were loyal to her, relied on her, and admired her from the limited crowd. These people would be her helpers in the future.
