Chapter 331 I want to take the child to the provincial capital
The punishment came quickly. Laizi was fined fifty yuan and detained for three years for abusing Dezi. However, because it was a family matter and the child was his own, and given the family's living conditions and the fact that he was the only laborer, he was given a one-year reduction in sentence.
Xu's mother and father had no way to change the situation. They cried and begged for help from everyone, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to them. The village chief and the party secretary simply chased them out with a broom.
During this period, every time they went to the county town for meetings, they felt ashamed. They always felt that the two village cadres from other villages, especially Shenjiaji, were looking at them with squinting eyes, which was very embarrassing.
Dezi was discharged from the hospital half a month later, and his son was in the detention room. Now he only has one grandson by his side. Xu's father and mother quarreled for a few days, and after being taken away for a lecture, they finally suppressed their anger and began to take good care of Dezi.
Wang Lianhua, Xifeng, Xie Jing and several others often came to see Dezi with things. Xie Jing also asked Lu Jiasheng to make a small cabinet for Dezi, with a lock on it and the key hung around Dezi's neck.
With food, clothes and a few cents of pocket money, I could finally get by.
The sixth day of September was the wedding day of Yu Xueli and Qian Chengwang. Many people from the village went to join in the fun. Daya and Xiaoya dressed neatly and beautifully and distributed wedding candies and brown sugar water to the visitors.
Yu Xueli was wearing a red shirt, black pants, a small red flower on her head, and nude makeup carefully applied by Shen Meng.
Lu Zhenping happened to be in the room today. He was woken up by Shen Meng early in the morning and a black and white TV was brought to him, shocking all the villagers.
Wang Lianhua and the others were so jealous that they died.
"You are such a person. You gave me a TV without any hesitation. What can we do with our pillows, quilts, kettles, and mirrors?"
"My eldest sister-in-law is a person with ideas. Luckily, I asked my child's father to make two cabinets in advance, painted them red, and selected the best wood. So they are presentable."
The daughter-in-law looked at the valuable things her two sisters-in-law gave her and saw that the things given by her own two sisters-in-law seemed shabby.
"Isn't this all good? The things you brought are all in pairs. With so many things, why do you still complain that it's not enough? You're almost emptying your family's nest egg, right?"
"That's impossible. I've saved a lot of money from working over the past year. Plus, the factory gives out benefits and tickets from time to time, so I live a very enjoyable life."
The things they were holding were really eye-catching, and many people looked at Shen Meng and thought that she might have something wrong with her brain.
He is not a close relative, but he spends hundreds of dollars at a time and spends so much money on tickets. He must have money to burn.
Lu Xiangxiang didn't come this time. She had gained weight, and Shen Xiaobin didn't let her run around. Now the whole Shen family values her, and they tried their best to nourish her body during her pregnancy. Now she has gained a lot of weight.
When Aunt Juying went to see her, she sighed that she had really fallen into a blessed nest.
Yu Xueli looked at the things piled in the room, her eyes reddened and she was about to cry. In the past, no matter how much suffering she endured or how drunk she was, she had never shed tears. But since she had become truly friendly with these women, it seemed as if her tears could never stop flowing.
"Look at what you are doing. You have money but no place to spend it. Are you afraid that I will come back because of all these things? I can tell you that I will pester you for the rest of my life."
"Come on, we are not the kind of people who say those unorthodox words. We sisters have spent a lot of money on your wedding this time. If you dare to live a bad life, just wait and see how we will deal with you."
"What you said is that Old Qian doesn't care about anything. He wants to praise Shirley. There is no reason for him to do anything wrong." "Hahaha, you can get married without worry. We have Dezi to take care of him in the village. If you miss the child, come back to see him. It's not far away. You can come back whenever you want."
"Hey, I get it. I won't say more. Eat more at noon. I've left some dishes for you. Eat as much as you want. When I leave, we can have a drink together."
"Good good."
A few people were chatting and laughing over here, while the person in charge of the banquet over there called out to everyone, "Everyone from the south and north, relatives and fellow villagers, hurry up and find a seat. We'll have dinner after the wedding."
As soon as this sentence was shouted, people who had just gathered together to talk quickly found their seats and sat down to wait for their meals.
Yu Xueli finally got married properly, and the man was her lover. She spent a lot of money on the wedding banquet, bought good wine and food, and steamed buns made of two-grain flour. It was a lively occasion.
The village chief took charge and brought eight steamed buns and two large bowls of stew to Xu's house to bring Dezi out.
The wound on his head had not healed yet and was covered with gauze, but when he saw the smile on Yu Xueli's face that she had never seen before, he felt disappointed, but he was also really happy for her.
Everyone can live a good life if they can escape from this quagmire that is their home.
Yu Xueli looked at Dezi and her nose felt sore for a moment.
"Remember what mother told you. This house is for you. The bedding and clothes are all in the closet. If your grandparents treat you badly and want to beat you, you can come and live here. Your Aunt Lianhua and Aunt Xifeng will protect you. Maybe, maybe in a few years, you can go to the city to live with mother. Dezi, remember what mother said. You must study hard. You must study well. Don't let mother down. Don't follow the Xu family's style. Do you hear me?"
"Hey, I heard you, I remember you, mom. I will definitely study hard, not do bad things, and not bully others. Mom, please remember to come and see me, you must remember!"
"Hey!"
The words of the mother and son made everyone who listened to them feel sad. It must have been a great honor for such a naughty child to become so sensible.
After attending the wedding, Shen Meng returned home with the children. Lu Zhenping sat on a rocking chair at the door of the main room, his eyes lowered in deep thought, no one knew what he was thinking about.
"came back!"
"Well, what were you thinking about just now? I called you several times but you didn't hear me?"
Lu Zhenping clenched his fist and coughed twice, then looked at Shen Meng. Silence was better than words here. He seemed to have something to say. Shen Meng asked Mingyang to move a stool for her.
The couple sat facing each other. Shen Meng took the water handed over by her second son, took a sip and said, "Go ahead!"
"Xiao Meng, our company has allocated us a house, which is not too small compared to the yard we live in now. I think Mingyang and his family are getting older, and the education environment in the provincial capital is better. I want to take them to the provincial capital to go to school. What do you think?"
Shen Meng frowned slightly. The county had allocated her a house, which had already been transferred. However, she did not tell Lu Zhenping about this. She was still thinking about sending the children to school in the county. She had even visited the school and was quite satisfied with it, so she was just waiting for the school to start. Unexpectedly, when the school was about to start, the father of the children had other ideas.
