Chapter 28 No matter how you think about it, you are the one who suffers
Xie Jing took several deep breaths before she walked up to Shen Meng with a stiff smile. Her belly was big now, so she couldn't help Shen Meng carry the sack. The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and then turned their eyes to the two thin children at the door of the main room.

Then Shen Meng gave up, went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, and untied the rope that tied the sack.

The first thing that was taken out was a big iron pot. The original owner had bought an iron pot when she married Lu Zhenping. However, not long after the marriage, she was coaxed away by her mother-in-law Liu Sanjin. Now she is still using the old iron pot that the Lu family has used for decades. There are several holes on the edge. Every time Shen Meng cooks, she is afraid of poking a hole in the pot.

Then there were candies, cakes, lean pork ribs, towels, toothbrushes, cups, washbasins, clothes, shoes, socks, flyers, and quilt covers.
Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang ran back and forth between the sack and the main hall. The two little guys felt that the sack their mother brought was like a bottomless pit, and countless things could be taken out of it.

After all the things in the sack were taken out, the floor of the main room was almost filled up.

Shen Meng looked at the three stunned people and touched his nose awkwardly.

“A bit much!”

"Uh, that, sister-in-law, did you move the supply and marketing cooperative here?"

"I finally made it to the county town, so I bought some of the things that were missing at home. The supply and marketing cooperative in the county town is really big. Fortunately, it sells ready-made clothes for adults and children. Otherwise, it would be too late to make them by hand. I see that the weather will be cold next month, and Mingyang and his friends won't even have a decent thick piece of clothing. How will they go to school then? The school is far from our village, and their shoes are all worn out. Will they go to school barefoot? Besides, the clothes I bought are larger, so they can be worn for several years!"

As Shen Meng spoke, she separated the children's clothes into two sets of clothes for each child, shoes and socks, as well as notebooks and pencils. She also had three army green shoulder bags, which she bought at the small commodity market at a very cheap price.

Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang looked at the pile of their things on the ground and widened their eyes in shock, especially Lu Mingyang. He always thought that the bad woman was pretending to raise them well and then sell them. But which good person would spend so much money to buy things before selling their children? He felt that he was not worth so much money.

Lu Mingliang hugged the new clothes in front of him and looked at Shen Meng with surprise.

"Mom, are these really all for me? These Liberation shoes look so cool to wear. Da Zhuang from my aunt's family has a pair and he always shows them off."

"Well, they are all for you. After the autumn harvest, you two brothers will go to school together. Mingfang is timid, so don't let anyone bully her when she gets to school."

Lu Mingliang got his beloved thing, and when he heard him being asked to protect his sister, he immediately straightened his chest.

"Mom, I am a man and I must protect my sister well."

Lu Mingyang looked at Shen Meng who was talking to his brother, his expression was gentle and his voice was
After the children's things were divided, Shen Meng asked them to put their things away and wash and wear them later. After everything was packed up, Shen Meng took out the things she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative. In addition to a piece of polyester cloth, Shen Meng also added a piece of floral cotton silk cloth and a piece of army green polyester cloth. There were things for both adults and children.

"Jinghao, I used to be ignorant and often quarreled with you, but you were kind and didn't argue with me. You were also kind to Mingyang and the other kids. I really appreciate you. This is some fabric I bought for Xiaogang and the baby in your belly. It has rubber soles, and the extra fabric can be used to make shoes for Xiaogang. As for the brown sugar and candies, keep them."

A package was delivered to her and Xie Jinghao almost couldn't hug it.

"Oh, no, no, sister-in-law, I can't take it. Jiasheng and I have been taken care of by big brother, how can I ask for so many things from you? I'm nice to Mingyang and the others because they are sensible, not for the things, sister-in-law, please take them back." "I didn't ask you to take them today. The year you got married, I didn't add any boxes or anything for you. This is considered as making up for it. But you don't want it. Where's Xiaogang and the baby in your belly? Look at this piece of cotton silk fabric, it's so soft. These two soles are just the size of Xiaogang. I have no place to use them if I keep them. You know Jinghao, I'm not a good person. Look at the two sisters-in-law and the mother-in-law. I wouldn't respond even if they asked me for them. I didn't ask you to take these things back now. You can make the clothes and shoes at my house and take them away when they are done. If you take them home now, you will definitely lose a single fart."

Xie Jinghao looked at Shen Meng's sincere look and felt grateful in her heart. Even if she took care of Mingyang's children, the food and drink she received were not worth Shen Meng's money. Shen Meng, her sister-in-law, gave her too much.

But think about the little scraps of cloth saved in the kang cabinet at home. It's not enough to make clothes for the children, let alone shoes. But if I really ask my sister-in-law for so many things, it would be a bit shameless.

Shen Meng looked at Xie Jing's conflicted expression and sighed.

"Jinghao, things are dead, but people are alive. Your eldest brother is serving in the army, and I am raising four children by myself. I am not very good at sewing, and I am not good at physical work such as fetching water and chopping wood. I will inevitably trouble you and Jiasheng in the future. If you don't take my things, why should I always trouble you! Such a simple truth can be understood by me, a domineering person in my daily life, how can you still be confused?"

Xie Jinghao knew that Shen Meng was trying to enlighten her, so she gritted her teeth, put her face aside, and took the thing Shen Meng gave her in her hand.

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll thank you on behalf of Xiaogang and the baby in my belly. If you need me to do anything in the future, just let me know."

"Hey!"

The two sisters-in-law agreed and opened the packages in the yard. What the soldiers sent were local specialties from southern Yunnan, including cloth woven by the villagers, small pieces of ham, flower cakes, and southern Yunnan's Baiyao. The most common items were mushrooms and rice noodles.

"All the things you sent are good things. Jinghao, let's eat at home tonight!"

"No, no, sister-in-law, I have to leave soon. Mom and the others have to eat after work, so I have to go back and cook."

Shen Meng looked at her round belly, opened her mouth but said nothing. Nowadays, there is no idea of ​​not letting pregnant women work, even if there is, it is very rare.

"Okay, go ahead. Eat less and take Xiaogang out for a walk in the evening. I'll save some dinner for you."

"Sister-in-law, really not"

"Don't try to persuade me. Don't I know what the Lu family eats? Look how thin you are. You will suffer when you give birth to a child."

Xie Jinghao didn't say anything after hearing what she said. Her sister-in-law really meant well to her and was kind-hearted. She had been the one who had looked at her badly in the past. When she left, Xie Jinghao gave her three dollars, which was the pension money that the eldest wife would give her next month.

Shen Meng felt unhappy about what she had given him. She had given him pension money, but they didn't even eat together. This wasn't even considered a separation of the family. The private plots were also cultivated by the Lu family. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that she had suffered a great loss.
