Chapter 259 Erqing has a fever
She was so busy talking to the children last night that she forgot to take out the cakes for them. When they went to school in the morning, she took them out and put a red velvet cake in a box for each of them.

"This box of small cakes is for your teacher Zheng. Mom brought it specially for her. If she asks where it came from, just say you don't know. Mingyang Mingliang, if you can't finish it, you can share it with your friends. Mingfang, you can share it with Daya. Don't waste it."

"Wow, it smells so good. I want to eat it now."

"It's sweet. I want to have a bite."

Mingkai saw that his brothers and sisters each had a lunch box, but he didn't have one. He was so anxious that he jumped on the spot, shouting that he wanted to have a bite too.

"Okay, okay, okay, you guys can do whatever you want. We still have some at home. Mingkai, don't grab it. Mom will keep it for you."

The three children, Mingyang, Mingliang and Mingfang, took small forks and scooped a big bite and stuffed it into their mouths. Mingfang, who was always taught to be elegant and clean by Shen Meng, also took a big bite at this time, and her little mouth was covered with cream.

"Do it secretly, don't let anyone see it."

As Shen Meng watched them leave, she couldn't help but remind them again that if Lu Zhenping was at home, she would never take this thing out. When she was about to close the door and go into the house, Daqing suddenly called her.

Shen Meng paused, thought about it, and turned her head.

Daqing and Erqing didn't dare to come over until Mingyang and his friends had left. Ever since the commotion at the hair flower factory, Mingyang and his friends had gone to school separately from them.

"Aunt, I, I want to tell you something."

Erqing didn't dare to speak. He followed his brother with his head down, rubbing his clothes unconsciously with his hands, looking very reserved.

"Daqing, I know what you want to say. Do you want your mother to continue working in the hairpin factory?"

After hearing this, Daqing raised his head suddenly, then lowered it again.

"My mother is beaten every day. If she can't get into the hairpin factory, she will be beaten to death by my father. Aunt Guo has visited my mother. The village chief and the party secretary have also looked for my father and said they would punish her, but my father just won't change. Every time he stops for two days, he continues beating her. Yaoyao, Yaoyao is dazed now. Yesterday, she was so scared that she peed when she saw my father. Woo woo woo, auntie, can you talk to the factory director and let my mother go in to work? No matter how much money you pay, can you let her go?"

Shen Meng felt very uncomfortable after hearing what the child said. Wang Lianhua had tried her best to help Mingyang and other children. No matter when, she wanted to lend a hand, but she also had to lend a hand.

"Daqing and Erqing, you are both good children. Auntie knows that these are all adults' affairs. You don't have to worry about them. Go to school quickly. If you don't go, you will be late."

Before Daqing could say anything, Erqing staggered two steps and knelt on the ground. Shen Meng frowned, thinking that this kid was trying to blackmail her morally. When she reached out to pick up Erqing, she suddenly realized something was wrong. She put her hand on Erqing's forehead and felt it was burning hot.

"Erqing, Erqing, you have a fever. Don't go to school. Go home and rest!"

When the little guy heard that he had to go home, he shrank back and said, "I, I don't dare."

Shen Meng choked up when she heard this. She helped Erqing up and held his hand.

"Daqing, you should go to school quickly. I will leave Erqing at our house for now. I will take good care of your brother."

Daqing felt reluctant to let Erqing go when he saw how pitiful he was. But he was also afraid that if he disobeyed Shen Meng, she would be unhappy. Then his mother would not be able to work in the flower factory and he would be beaten again.

"Okay, then, I'll be leaving now."

When Shen Meng brought Erqing back, Mingkai had a mouthful of cream and his little tongue was still licking the lunch box. When he turned around and saw his mother coming back, he smiled.

"Mom, hey, why is brother Erqing here? Isn't he going to class?" "Your brother Erqing is sick. He will stay at our house for a while. Go play by yourself. Wipe your mouth and hands. You can't eat anymore."

"Oh!"

Erqing grabbed his schoolbag, feeling extremely reserved. He passively followed Shen Meng. After arriving at the west room, he got on Mingyang's kang.

"Erqing, lie down in your brother Mingyang's room first. I'll get a thermometer and give you some water to drink."

"it is good."

Shen Meng covered him with the quilt, turned around and walked out, she waved to Mingkai.

"Xiao Kai, go find your Aunt Xifeng and tell her that Erqing is at our house. Ask her to find a way to get your Aunt Lianhua over."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

Mingkai walked away and ran straight to the gate of the yard.

Shen Meng came into the house holding a thermometer and a basin of hot water. Erqing saw that she was not taken care of at all. She snorted in her heart. This Wang Lianhua could not resist the man now, and she couldn't even take care of the child. She would give her one last chance. If she couldn't seize it, she would not care about her anymore.

Whether it was food or the work at the hair flower factory, she had already done what she was supposed to do, and nothing was owed to her.

"Erqing, let me take your temperature first. If it's high, we'll wipe it off, take some medicine, and have a good sleep!"

"it is good!"

Five minutes later, Shen Meng looked at the thermometer and found that the child's fever had reached 38.5 degrees. Shen Meng quickly cleaned him up, otherwise he would sweat under the quilt and feel very uncomfortable.

The little guy closed his eyes and looked uncomfortable. Shen Meng slowly undressed Erqing.

When Mingkai came over, he was followed by Xifeng and Wang Lianhua. Yaoyao was held in Xifeng's arms. Her own daughter was being looked after by her husband at home, and she followed over because she was really worried about the child.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Shen Meng's gloomy face. She was almost glaring at Wang Lianhua. Xifeng felt that if Shen Meng hadn't cared about the presence of the children, she might have come up and slapped her sister-in-law in the face.

"Erqing, Erqing, how are you?"

"Why are you crying? The child took the medicine and fell asleep. If you are worried now, what were you doing before?"

Shen Meng's voice was so harsh that Wang Lianhua couldn't help but shiver. Seeing this, Yaoyao suddenly leaned towards Xifeng's shoulder, her whole body shaking.

"Yaoyao, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. This is your aunt, your Aunt Meng. She often brings you delicious food. Look, look, don't be afraid."

"Don't be afraid, Yaoyao. Look at this. Aunt Meng left something for you. It's so sweet and delicious. Only Yaoyao has it. No one else has it!"

Shen Meng waved the small cake in front of Yaoyao's eyes, and the little girl was immediately attracted.

"Xiao Kai, take it and feed it to sister Yaoyao. Wife, you hold Yaoyao and sit down. Wang Lianhua, follow me to the main room. I have something to tell you."
