Chapter 22 It's too early to talk

Lu Mingyang put down the firewood and did not run to the kitchen immediately. Instead, he was shocked when he saw Shen Meng's staggering steps.

Sugar-coated bullet, this is a sugar-coated bullet!!!

The bad woman had so many tricks up her sleeves. In just one day, her two brothers and one sister were about to be conquered. But they forgot about the past just because of a little favor. They were so stupid. Lu Mingyang shook hands with her. At night, no matter what good things the bad woman made, he would never eat a bite of them, absolutely.

"Brother, what are you doing? There's a big bowl of sweet green bean soup. Come and have some. It's too hot. Let's not go collect firewood for a while!"

Lu Mingyang walked to the kitchen, picked up the green bean soup on the table and took two sips.
"No, I've collected the firewood and said what I needed to say. I'll go back to lie down on the kang. Hey, did something scratch your foot when you were walking just now? Wash it with clean water now."

"Okay!" Lu Mingliang agreed, looking around and saw the sand basin on the stove. He lifted the lid and saw that there was indeed a lot of mung bean soup inside. He was delighted and picked up the spoon beside him and scooped a mouthful.

"Brother, do you still want to drink? There's more here."

"No more, one bowl is enough. If you want to drink more, drink some more. I'm just being sneaky!"

"Whee!"

One of the brothers secretly drank another half bowl of wine, while the other one stuck his head out of the kitchen to keep watch. After a long while, he came out of the kitchen, spread out the firewood, washed his hands and feet, and then went back to the west room to lie down.

Lu Mingfang and Lu Mingliang on the kang were almost asleep. Lu Mingkai raised his hands and rubbed his eyes before he could see clearly where he was. He was happy. He had been hugged by Shen Meng for the whole afternoon, so he became bolder. While Shen Meng was still asleep, he whispered "Mom".

Lu Mingfang looked at Shen Meng and subconsciously wanted to grab her brother and run away, but when she thought about how her mother hugged her to sleep in the afternoon and asked her second aunt to make cotton-padded clothes and cotton shoes for her, and how such good fabrics and cotton were made for her, she still found it unbelievable.

Shen Meng didn't sleep in the afternoon. She had been sleeping for the past two days. She was so lazy that she watched a movie in her space while the two kids were sleeping, and then came out with a pot of mung bean soup.

She pretended to have just woken up and looked at the two children with a frown.

"Hey, when did you wake up? Why didn't you call for mom?"

"Mom is sleeping, don't shout." Lu Mingkai shrank back and did not come out of Shen Meng's arms. He felt comfortable in his mother's arms and did not want to leave her at all, so he bravely replied.

Shen Meng looked at the soft Mingkai and felt happy, so she gave him a kiss.

"Good boy, Mingfang, while you were sleeping, I made you some mung bean soup with rock sugar. Take Mingkai with you to have some. Keep your voice down, Mingyang and Mingliang are resting in the west room!"

Lu Mingfang was stunned for a moment, then got off the kang, agreed, and carried the equally confused Lu Mingkai out. When she reached the door, she turned around and glanced at Shen Meng.

"Mom, lie down for a while. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay, go ahead, girl."

After listening to Shen Meng's words, Lu Mingfang smiled shyly, then hugged Lu Mingkai and left.

When the brother and sister drank the mung bean soup, they kept praising its deliciousness. Lu Mingkai laughed as he drank it. "Sister, mom just kissed me, did you see it? She kissed my forehead, hehe!"

"I saw it, Mingkai is a well-behaved boy. Mom definitely likes you." Lu Mingfang said this with a bit of melancholy. After all, Mingkai was her mother's child. Mom said she was good to her, but she didn't kiss her just now.

Lu Mingfang bit her lip, wondering if she was too cold. After all, her mother had said she wanted to change, and she was so good to them. She fed them fine-grain white noodles and sweet mung bean soup even when she was sick. She did nothing and always wanted to run away. Would her mother be sad and change back to her original state?

When Lu Mingfang thought about it, she was flustered for a moment, but seeing her younger brother's happy face, she made up her mind that next time, she would say something nice to her mother. Adults like children with sweet words. So, be a little sweeter.

Liu Sanjin was unhappy and asked for leave to go home after working halfway in the afternoon. This almost made Lu Debang angry. It was the busy farming season and everyone, young and old, went to the fields except those who could not go to work. She was in good spirits and came back after working halfway, which made several village cadres in charge of production unhappy.

Xie Jinghao brought a bowl of cold water to the head of her kang and gently called "Mom". Liu Sanjin snorted coldly.

Xie Jinghao didn't care. After all, in this family, apart from her husband and children, her eldest brother's family was the only one she cared about.

"Mom, didn't you say that the sun made you dizzy? Drink some cold water and you'll feel better. Drink it and then go to sleep!"

"Humph, stop being so filial and stop irritating me. I can still live a few more years!"

Xie Jinghao didn't reply and put the cold water on the kang table next to her. She knew that she was going to bring up the old matter again and deliberately tease her, so she just listened.

"Our third brother is also unlucky. If he hadn't married a jinx like you, he wouldn't have missed the chance to go to school. Now he has to work as a temporary worker in the mine, working himself to death to support you and your mother." Liu Sanjin sat up, pointed at Xie Jinghao and started scolding.

Xie Jinghao didn't say anything. She was an orphan raised by a kind-hearted grandmother. After her grandmother died, her close relatives occupied the old house and wanted to drive her out. She had no relatives and no one to worry about. When she tried to commit suicide by jumping into the river, it was Lu Jiasheng who saved her. Originally, that year, Liu Sanjin had chosen a girl for Lu Jiasheng. If he could marry her into the family, he would not only have a good in-law, but also be recommended to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. After graduation, he would be guaranteed a job and a lifelong iron rice bowl. But at this time, Xie Jinghao's relatives took the opportunity to make a big fuss about Lu Jiasheng ruining Xie Jinghao's reputation, forcing the Lu family to marry her.

At that time, she didn't want to be the bad guy. Others saved her with kindness, but she ruined their future. It was Lu Jiasheng who found her and wanted to marry her. He also vowed to treat her well. Lu Zhenping paid for the house renovation and gave the bride price, so that Xie Jinghao could have a family again.

The couple had a good relationship after marriage, but Liu Sanjin always looked down on his third daughter-in-law who had no mother's family.

Liu Sanjin looked at her in silence, frowning. Thinking about what he had heard in the afternoon, he said in a deep voice, "Cook dinner tonight. Make some corn noodle soup, boil two eggs for the old man's house, and stir-fry some vegetables. Add some lard when stir-frying. Will you carry it? Let Jiaojiao and Jiaxuan carry it to the old man's house together, and deliver it when you get off work."

Xie Jinghao's eyes moved. Maybe he heard some unpleasant words outside and wanted to make something good to send over to save face for his family!
Shen Meng was lying on the kang aimlessly. Lu Mingkai cautiously leaned over and saw his mother looking at him, then he chuckled.

"Mom, what are we having for dinner?" He had just finished drinking the mung bean soup and was looking forward to dinner. Coincidentally at this moment Lu Mingyang came out from the west room. He snorted in his heart. No matter what, he was not going to eat anyway.

"If you don't cook tonight, your grandma and the others will bring food over."

Lu Mingyang: “.”

So annoying, it’s too early to say that!!!
