Chapter 325 Dezi Jumped into the River
After Shen Meng finished speaking, everyone in the Yu family was dumbfounded. How arrogant they were just now, how timid they were now. The eldest sister-in-law of the Yu family was shaking all over as she looked at Shen Meng.
"Xue, Shirley, is she, is she telling the truth?"
"It's true. I can live such a good life now thanks to Xiao Meng. She wants us women to live well no matter what the circumstances are. She has been working hard. Now that she sees that I am getting engaged, she comes to help me cook. She also has Jinghao, Lianhua, Xifeng, my uncle Gui and aunt Juying. They are my family now. If you still want to hold on to your job to earn money, leave quickly. If you come to make trouble again, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get a job in the future."
The people of the Yu family looked at Shen Meng again, and were frightened to see her half-smile. Especially Yu's father, he almost fainted from fright. He thought about what he had just said to Shen Meng, and felt very scared.
When Shen Meng looked at him, Yu Guang ran away without caring about his parents and wife at all.
He ran away and his wife followed closely behind him. After the courtyard door slammed shut, Yu's father and mother staggered back. Yu's mother was still unwilling to give up, so she asked people about it. Only then did she find out that what they had just said was true.
The old couple was so frightened that they rolled over and crawled on the ground, and never dared to come to the door to provoke again. Who could have thought that the man wearing an apron just now was the official they wanted to help them get through the back door?
Yu Xueli's face was a little red when she returned to the main room. Aunt Qian reached out and patted her shoulder.
"Okay, kid, it's okay. Let's eat. Today is your and Chengwang's big day, we should all be happy. Look, your workshop director at the Touhua Factory picks and cuts vegetables for you, your team leader cooks for you, the director's assistant kills chickens for you, and the secretary-general of the Ning County Revolutionary Committee cooks for you. Who among all the people at this table can be as honored as you?"
Aunt Qian's words made everyone at the table burst into laughter.
When Mingyang and his children came over, Shen Meng drove them directly to the small table to eat. Except for the two groups of bedbugs that came today, today was pretty smooth.
While it was still early, Aunt Qian and Qian Chengwang hurried away, as they had some things to do in the hospital and they had to make rounds in the evening. Uncle Guai was watched by Aunt Juying today, so he didn't dare drink a sip of wine. However, after eating such a large table of dishes, he felt so delicious that he felt very happy even if he didn't drink.
Only Yu Xueli and her sisters were in the room. Looking at the things piled on the kang, everyone was happy for her.
Director Guo also came at this time. When he came, his face looked a little ugly and gloomy.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, several people stood up.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Shen Meng came forward and asked.
"Shirley, I'm going to tell you something. You have to stay calm."
This was not a good start. Everyone's heart was in their throat after hearing it. Yu Xueli pulled the corner of her mouth, and tried to calm herself as much as possible, looking at her with some trembling.
"You, you go ahead!"
"Hey, it's Dezi. The kid was caught and beaten up by his father this afternoon. He was quite cruel. I don't know what happened, but he got so upset that he jumped into the river."
"what?"
Director Guo saw her staggering and about to faint, so he quickly pulled her and said, "Don't worry, he's been saved, but he's weak and has many wounds. I've had him sent to the county hospital. Changhong checked him out first. The child's leg was broken. Changhong said that even if it heals, he'll probably still limp when he walks in the future."
Yu Xueli fainted without even a breath. Today was a day of great joy and great sorrow, how could she bear it.
Several women hurriedly helped the person onto the kang. The two children, Daya and Xiaoya, looked at their mother's condition and heard that Dezi was lame, and began to cry loudly. Daya was better, as she was older and did not dare to let herself be too sad, and wanted to take care of her mother more.
"How could this be?"
"Dezi used to be a bad person, lazy, greedy and unreasonable, but now he has become much more sensible."
"That's right. He has learned well and knows that a child with a mother is a treasure. He can help with housework now. When the child was young, his grandparents always said that girls were worthless and scolded his mother. Over time, he also learned bad things. Now he knows that his mother is a good person and he also knows to stand by her."
"Shirley doesn't care about her son Dezi. She also said that it would be best if he could do well in school. If not, she would keep the house for him. If he can work hard and support himself in the future, she is willing to give him a dowry to help him get married. She hopes that he will live a good life."
"What a damn bastard! How could such a bastard appear in our Lujia Village?"
Several women have been leaders for several months. They usually study more in the factory and try to be decent and polite when speaking and doing things, and try not to swear.
I'm really angry today.
"Put it down now. I have already told the village chief that the lepers will be sent to the brick kiln. Several of our communes have already agreed to send all the lazy people in the villages to the brick kiln and make them work hard. If they don't work, they won't have food to eat. We will give them a good lesson."
"That's how it should be."
Shen Meng nodded. She specially created a job for the brick kiln and had a special supervisor so that these people could correct their laziness. If they couldn't change this, then they would be left to fend for themselves in the future.
In fact, this is just a small addition to her political achievements. She cannot just pull those capable and motivated people forward. She also has to give a hand to those who are lazy, slacking off, and want to take more. She has to make a gesture, but if they still can't keep up, then it has nothing to do with her.
When Yu Xueli woke up, the people around her were still there, and she still had to make the decision about Dezi's affairs.
She took a sip of water, looked around and said, "The child is on my side today, so I will take care of him. What I said before has not changed. He is a boy, and the Xu family will never let me take him away, and I will not take him away. I am really sorry to trouble you today. You should all go back and have a rest. I will take Daya and Xiaoya to the county hospital to see him later."
"Okay, if you need help just tell me, don't be polite with us."
"Yeah, why don't you put Da Ya and Xiao Ya in front of me first, and I'll help you take care of them. It's too tiring for you to run around here and there."
"It's okay. I'll pack some clothes and leave Da Ya and Xiao Ya with Aunt Qian. She will take care of them."
When everyone saw her say this, they stopped trying to persuade her. After all, they were not outsiders and would have asked directly if they needed help.
Shen Meng walked to the gate of the hospital with the child, turned around and looked at her and said, "Remember to ask the nurse to issue a medical record certificate, and then go to the public security bureau to report the case. It may be useful in the future."
