Chapter 231: Like an Old Bachelor Whose Wife Has Run Away

Lu Zhenping began to doubt his life. He looked at Shen Meng with hazy eyes and accidentally made a "hiss" sound, which caused him to frown in pain.

"what happened?"

"It's okay." He just bit his tongue.

After Shen Meng finished speaking, she kept observing Lu Zhenping's expression. After all, her current identity was a rural woman who had only graduated from elementary school. Suddenly saying such a thing really ruined her image. However, she was already doing what she wanted to do and would definitely not stop. As her husband, she could not hide it from him.

There are some things that can be said between husband and wife, such as the pace and ambition of their desired progress. There are some things that can never be said in a lifetime, and that is the space that one has. She does not have the confidence to test human nature.

After the meal, Lu Zhenping finally told the four children that he would be away for a few days. When Lu Zhenping went to wash the lunch boxes, Shen Meng put the big bag he brought with him on the table.

"Mother has not been home for a while, so I bought some good things for you. I'll share them and hide them in your own cabinet. It will only take a day or two. If there are good things in the provincial capital, I'll bring them to you."

"Mom, I can't bear to leave you. I wish you could not go."

"I can't bear to leave my mother either. I rarely see her now because she's at work. Now she has to go out. My heart aches."

"Mom is going out to do something big, like a workshop, not like Fourth Aunt, the troublemaker who ruined the workshop in just two days. We have to keep our mouths shut when we go out, and we can't let others know."

"Oh, I see, little sister. Actually, it's not bad that we can go to school, but Dad is alone at home. He misses you so much that he's sad. Mom, you don't know that when you were not home, Dad lay on the recliner like an idiot, dazed, like an old bachelor whose wife ran away."

Shen Meng: “.”

What nonsense are you talking about? Is there anyone who would say that about his own father?
Ok? ? ?
No, these words were very pointed, and he was clearly secretly cursing himself. What on earth was this brat thinking about all day long?

When Lu Zhenping came in with his hands swinging, he heard Mingliang's very sarcastic words. He squinted his eyes and coughed dryly, which scared Mingliang so much that he quickly shrank his neck, but his hands were not idle either. He put his share of delicious food and toys into his arms.

Shen Meng took out a razor from her pocket and handed it to Lu Zhenping.

"Here, I bought this for you. It's very easy to use and won't hurt your handsome face. It also comes with two blades. It only costs two dollars. I think it's very good. You can try it tomorrow morning."

"Hey, I have something too."

Shen Meng sneered and gently pulled Lu Zhenping's sleeve. Her eyes were full of sparkling beauty. She didn't say a word, but that shy expression alone was enough to make Lu Zhenping's head buzz.

"Mingyang, Mingliang, Mingfang, the kitchen has boiled hot water for you. Hurry up and get some water to wash up. After playing for so long, finish your homework and go to bed. Mingkai will sleep with you tonight!"

Children: “.”

Dad, do you want to read what you are saying? It's only half past six. Why are you going to sleep? Don't people usually go to bed at eight o'clock? Lu Zhenping didn't care. He was feeling very uncomfortable and wanted to send the child away quickly so that he could hug his wife and go to sleep. He didn't want to waste any time.

The children looked at Shen Meng with pity, but she was also thirsty, so she had to bite the bullet and coax the children to the kitchen.

"Just wait, I will definitely let you go tonight. Hehehe!"

Shen Meng: “.”

What the hell are you talking about? It’s obvious that I’m going to teach you a lesson tonight!!!
The two of them stared at each other for a while, then looked away. Sparks were crackling, and they were really afraid that they would not be able to control themselves in the next second.

The fact that the workshop in Lujia Village was ruined by a few old women in the village made everyone very angry, especially those who had been working hard in the workshop. They had already received three payments of wages, all of which were paid on a per-time basis. The supply and marketing cooperative paid one payment to the commune, and Director Guo paid one payment to the women who worked in the village.

The first payment was not much, with each person getting only 70 or 80 cents. It was better on the second day, with three or four yuan. The last time, which was today, each person got seven or eight yuan. The wages for embroidery were higher. People like Su Xiaomei, Xie Jinghao, and Xifeng all got more than nine yuan.

The good times didn't last for two days, and the place where I worked went bankrupt. How could I bear this?

For a while, everyone in the village was cursing, and some people who didn't get the chance to work in the workshop cursed even more. Some people in the village still got to eat meat, but they didn't even have a sip of soup. They had hoped that the workshop would be more prosperous, and when they were looking for people, they would give gifts and get a job to supplement their family income. They didn't want to think too much.

The idea hadn't even been implemented when someone interfered with it and made it impossible to make money. It was said that the branch secretary almost didn't want to do it because of this matter, and it took the leaders of the commune a long time to appease him before he reluctantly agreed.

These rumors were more infuriating than the last, especially when people heard that Zhou Jiaojiao had fainted and would no longer be in charge of the workshop. Everyone lost face for her and Lu Jiaxuan.

At this time, Guo Xiuqin brought the village chief and party secretary of Shenjiaji to visit the workshop. Some people who did not work there gathered around curiously, and the brave ones even asked a few questions.

"Hey, we came here to see how the canteen was renovated. We are also going to build a workshop over there. We have to thank the folks in Lujia Village for all this. If you didn't dislike Shen Meng, our village wouldn't have such a good thing!"

A villager asked, "What's the matter? Why are you so happy?"

"Hahaha, what else can it be? Comrade Shen Meng has found a non-staple food factory to cooperate with so that the members of our Shenjiaji can live a better life. He wants to build a workshop in our village and will be affiliated with the non-staple food factory in the future. We have never done it before, so we are here to learn. Hahaha, if you want to eat any cakes or something in the future, just go to Shenjiaji to buy it. It will be cheaper for everyone. Well, if there is nothing else, we will take a look again!"

The people in Lujia Village turned ugly instantly when they heard this. Their workshop in Lujia Village had just gone bankrupt, and their workshop in Shenjiaji was already built. If this got out, would the people in Lujia Village be able to hold their heads up when they went out?

The older people went directly to the Lu family and found Lu Zhenping. Shen Meng was from their Lujia Village, so as the head of the family, he had to take good care of her!

"I can't take care of this. The mother of the child has gone to work and won't be available to see you tomorrow. She has to go to the provincial capital with the comrades from the county government. She heard that the provincial capital is interested in the products of our non-staple food factory, so she's going to help introduce them. Oh, by the way, she was originally going to introduce the hair ornaments. It was said that someone wanted to order tens of thousands of them. Now it's impossible. The workshop is closed. What's the point of doing it?"

Everyone: "."

What a sin! That plague-stricken old woman ruined such a profitable business by making trouble! ! !
