Chapter 25: Writing a Letter to Divorce My Wife
"Thank you for the trip, Jiaojiao. Um, the clothes that the children took off last night are in the basin over there. You can wash them there. Thank you for your hard work!"

Zhou Jiaojiao smiled slightly and placed breakfast on the table in the main room. Without saying anything, she asked Lu Jiaxuan to pick up the sand basin beside the water tank and leave quickly, fearing that she would be asked to do any more work.

After they left, Shen Meng was stunned. She walked to the table and opened the breakfast that Zhou Jiaojiao had brought her. Sure enough, there were only a few black bean cakes and a bowl of thin soup that was big enough to reflect her reflection.

She knew that Liu Sanjin, the stingy old woman, would not always give them good food. She would definitely not eat this, and the children would not let them eat it either.

While the children were still asleep, Shen Meng hurried to the kitchen. After cleaning the pot, she took a bucket of millet porridge from the space and poured half of it into the pot. She put five eggs on the steamer and two dishes of cabbage and vermicelli in the pot. After covering the pot with the lid, she lit the stove.

After Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang woke up, they ran to the east room. They felt relieved when they saw their younger brother and sister were still sleeping.

"Brother, why did you come here so early in the morning to see Mingfang and Xiaokai? Hey, where is mom? She's not well yet. Why are you running around?"

Lu Mingyang: “…”

You idiot, don’t you look after your younger brothers and sisters? What if they are sold? My God, you only know me, you stupid thing!
"Rice, brother, there is rice on the table in the main hall. It must have been sent by Fourth Aunt. Hehe, there must be chicken...ah, why are there only black flour buns and watery soup?"

"It's good to have something to eat. Don't move. Wait for mom to come back. Go wash your face first. I'll stay here and look after Mingfang and Mingliang."

In the past, people with stuttering would definitely be very happy, but after eating good food all day yesterday, he thought he would have stuttering again today.

Lu Mingliang walked out listlessly, and suddenly he stopped. There was a noise in the kitchen!!!
He walked over quietly and sniffed hard with his little nose. Wow, there is something delicious.

Shen Meng lit a fire and burned two pieces of firewood. The millet porridge was already hot, so after being heated in the pot for a while, it immediately began to steam. When she thought it was almost ready, she stood up.

Just as I was about to go out, I met a pair of sparkling eyes.

"Mom, have you cooked?" He looked expectant, and couldn't wait to know the answer.

Shen Meng did not disappoint him.

"Yes, your fourth aunt came to deliver food this morning. Mother knew at a glance that you would not like it. Fortunately, we still have some millet at home, so I cooked some porridge and made two dishes of Chinese cabbage sent by your aunt Tian. Hurry up and wash your face. We will start eating now."

Lu Jialiang jumped in circles with joy, "Mom, I'll go right away. Hehe, Mom, you're so nice. I saw the meal that Fourth Aunt sent over. You guessed it right. I don't like eating black flour steamed buns anymore!"

He took two steps back and forth barefoot and ran back to the main room decisively.

"Brother, wash your face quickly. Mom is not running around. She has made delicious food. Let's eat and go to work quickly. Don't worry about Mingfang and Xiaokai. They will wake up soon."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Lu Mingyang didn't move. He turned around and saw Shen Meng smiling at him. His heart skipped a beat and he said, "Mom!"

Shen Meng waved at the two of them, then went into the east room. Mingfang and Mingliang had already sat up. Lu Mingliang's voice just now was too loud, and they were both woken up immediately.

"Wake up, get up and eat. Mingfang, your third aunt is coming over to make clothes for you today. You and Xiaokai should stay at home and don't go anywhere. OK?"

Lu Mingfang got up from Shen Meng's kang for the first time, feeling very shy.

Shen Meng looked at the skinny child and just wanted to quickly raise the child better and healthier. "Come here, mom will braid your hair!"

Lu Mingfang was stunned for a moment, and then her hair was gathered up by Shen Meng's big hands. She used to just tie her hair up casually.

Mingkai wore a shirt with bare legs. He watched his mother braid his sister's hair and did not dare to say anything.

Shen Meng put the breakfast Zhou Jiaojiao brought aside. She and the children ate the breakfast she cooked. She cut the two dishes into six pieces. She ate one piece herself and let the children eat the rest.

Thick millet porridge, fresh and fragrant mangosteen, and boiled eggs, this breakfast satisfied the children. Lu Mingliang ate two and a half mangosteens by himself, and his belly was full.

"Mom, how much food is left at home? Will we starve later?" Although he enjoyed the meal, he couldn't be so wasteful. Although the black flour steamed buns were not delicious, many families ate them and they could fill their stomachs. No family could afford to eat like this.

"Just eat your own food. Don't worry about the meals at home."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Is Lu Zhenping's family at home? There is a letter for you!"

"Someone's here, wait a minute, coming right up!"

It was already past eight o'clock in the morning. The sun was out and it was so hot that people were sweating. Shen Meng directly picked up the thin soup that Zhou Jiaojiao brought and sprinkled a pinch of brown sugar into it.

"Hello, comrade. You must have come all the way here. I'm drinking some soup at home. Here's some extra soup. Please drink some to quench your thirst!"

The postman had come many times, but this was the first time he saw Shen Meng's smiling face. Looking at the brown sugar on the thin soup, his heart moved slightly.

"How can this be so embarrassing, comrade? Here is your letter and the remittance slip. Please sign here."

Shen Meng sent the soup out, took the stuff from the postman, and signed as she spoke: "This soup is not worth it. You will have to ride your bike later. It will be hard work in such a hot sun. Just sign here, okay?"

The postman wiped the sweat from his forehead, drank the thin soup in a few gulps, took the things from Shen Meng's hand, and just put them down when he heard the sound of a door not far away. He saw that it was the old lady of the family. He quickly packed up his things, got on his bicycle and ran away without any hesitation.

Liu Sanjin, who had just opened the door and smiled, looked at the postman's back with hatred. Didn't she just stop him and ask him a few questions? Was it worth it to avoid her like this?
Liu Sanjin stomped his feet and took a few quick steps towards Shen Meng.

"Mother Mingyang, bring the letter that the eldest brother wrote to you to Jiaxuan. He will read it to you later. Give him the remittance slip and ask him to withdraw the money for you. Is there a receipt for receiving the package in this letter? Let's..."

Shen Meng rolled her eyes and covered her head, saying, "What, Mom, what are you saying? I can't hear you. I have a severe headache. I'm going home to lie down."

"You..."

"Snapped!"

Liu Sanjin took a few steps back when the door slammed. She was almost slapped in the face by that little bitch Shen Meng. The black-hearted woman wanted to embezzle the money given to her by her son. Humph, write a letter. This time, I must write to the boss and ask him to come back quickly to divorce his wife!
