Chapter 301 My Mother Became a High-ranking Official

In Lu Changzhu's opinion, as a father-in-law, as long as he makes a request, Shen Meng, as his daughter-in-law, must help him complete it no matter what, just like the last time when the fourth brother's child held a full-month banquet.

Although the money was a bit high, the whole banquet was very well organized. The chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice, flour, grain and oil cost about three or four hundred yuan in total.

Although it was painful to spend money, it was particularly proud. Although the family savings were a bit empty, the youngest son and his wife, one worked in the commune and the other in a textile factory. The second son's family, one farmed and the other worked in a textile factory. The eldest son and his wife, one was a soldier and the other was a factory director. The third son's family also lived well.

With such a small family, if they do things a little worse, others will laugh at them.

Not to mention the surrounding area, even in the entire Ning County, looking around, no family is as prosperous as theirs.

As the head of the family, that day was the most proud moment for him in all those years.

That's why he took advantage of a drink and asked the eldest son's wife in front of so many people to help promote the fourth son's family. In his opinion, the hair flower factory had to purchase fabrics from the textile factory, which would increase the textile factory's profits. Shen Meng was the second in command of the hair flower factory, just a position, so it just required some talking.

Who would have thought that almost two months had passed and there was still no news. How could he not be angry?

"Why don't you think about this when you say this? Zhou Jiaojiao has only been working for more than a month and she is about to be transferred to another position. Even a fool can tell that she got something through the back door. It would be fine if no one reported it, but as long as someone is serious, then everyone will be punished. Are you dissatisfied with my current life being too happy or something, or do you think I'm not busy enough and want the people above to investigate me?"

Lu Changzhu's face turned red after being scolded by Shen Meng.

"How is this possible? Who dares?"

"Why not? Everyone has a stable job. An anonymous report won't hurt you. If nothing is found, you won't be afraid. It will just cause you trouble. But if something is found, everyone will blame you. No one will benefit. The more glorious you are now, the more embarrassed you will be in the future. Dad, now that you are in my position, you must be more careful in what you say and do. Otherwise, if a mad dog with red eyes finds fault with you, it will be a trouble that you can't get rid of. I am very careful with what I say now, but you are so eager to give people a handle. I don't know if you are hoping that something will happen to me."

Lu Changzhu was so scared. He had been flattered for half a year and was almost lost. If he was not pulled down, Shen Meng was worried that he had been floating in the sky for too long and his soul would be taken away by someone.

"If you are bored, go and work. It can also help us young people gain reputation. People will praise you later. Look at the Lu family. All their sons and daughters-in-law are capable. Of course, Lu Jiahe is excluded. The head of the Lu family still works. He is so hardworking and diligent. It is really admirable. You take the lead in the work. The more you do, the better. Just wait and see. Everyone in our village will learn from you."

Shen Meng fooled Lu Changzhu for a while, and seeing that his eyes were a little hazy, she knew that he had taken her words to heart, and was probably imagining those scenes in his mind.

After a long while, Lu Changzhu nodded.

"You're right. As for the eldest son's wife, let's put the matter aside for now. Go home and cook. I'll think about it carefully."

Shen Meng glanced at him, turned around and walked towards home.

Mingyang, Mingliang, Mingfang and Mingkai were walking home. When they reached the door, Mingliang suddenly stopped them.

"Brother, brother, our mother has made something delicious, come and smell it."

"It smells so good, it's hotpot. Mom loves us so much. Last time I heard that hotpot is not easy to make, but she remembered it after we mentioned it once. Mom is so kind."

"I want to eat, go home quickly, my mother must have made me a small cake and delicious fruit tea, wow~"

Mingfang also swallowed her saliva. The hotpot was so delicious that she couldn't help it.

"Hurry up and go."

After the children came in, they locked the front door tightly, for fear that someone would knock on the door.

Shen Meng had just taken out a big bowl of beef from the space when the door of her house was pushed open, and she was almost exposed.

"I'm back. Look at the hot pot that mom made for you. The vegetables and meat are all ready. You can add the seasoning yourself. If you want spicy food, have spicy. If you want light food, have light food." "Mom, do you have my fruit tea? I want to drink sour and sweet fruit tea."

“And little cakes.”

"Small Crispy Pork and Red Sugar Rice Cake."

"Mom, I still want to eat spicy chicken feet."

Shen Meng hung their schoolbags on the wall and raised her chin to signal them.

"Look, everything is ready over there. The drinks you want to drink are poured into your teacups. Mingyang, turn up the fire on the coal stove. Once the pot boils, we can eat. I put some old tofu in the bottom of the pot. It's very mushy. You can eat some to fill your stomach first."

"Okay, mom, you're so busy every day, you don't have to prepare so much food for us at night, it's too much trouble."

Shen Meng rubbed Mingyang's hair. This child was the most sensible. After Lu Zhenping left, she had to go to work, leaving home early and coming back late every day. He took care of her younger brothers and sisters, which made her worry less.

"It's not a big deal. I ate some when I was in the county town. You guys eat first and I'll boil some vegetables for you."

Mingliang swallowed a piece of tofu with great difficulty and looked at Shen Meng with a sad look.

"Mom, is there something good? How come we have eaten it in the county town?"

"Well, there is something. Mom may go to the county government to work as an official. Your grandmother Qi asked to take you to her house for dinner. How about we go together as a family tomorrow?"

"Really, Mom? An official. How high of an official?"

"Very big, but there are some things I still need to talk to your Grandpa Li about. Once everything is confirmed, we will go to the county town. Mom is thinking that after you graduate from elementary school, our family will move to the county town, okay?"

"Well, wherever mom goes, we'll go. As long as we're with mom, anywhere is fine."

After hearing what his brother said, Mingliang quickly expressed his determination.

"Yes, yes, home is where mom is. Wherever mom goes, we will be there."

Mingfang and Mingkai also came up to Shen Meng and said sweet words to her, which made her coax her very much.

When Yu Xueli arrived home, Wang Lianhua had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her in the main room with a few children. However, the atmosphere was a bit depressing, and Daya and Xiaoya were both a little timid.

When the two children saw her, they stood up and rushed towards her.

"Mom, you're back."

"Mom, I miss you so much. Woo, wow, I miss you so much."

Yu Xueli saw that the two children had some strange emotions, so she quickly comforted them, then looked up at Wang Lianhua.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Wang Lianhua opened her mouth and said after a while: "Your parents came here today and almost took Xiaoya away. Fortunately, I came back in time. Xiaoya was very scared the whole afternoon and was looking forward to your quick return!"
