Chapter 39 A ghost fell down
When Shen Meng brought Xiao Kai into the house, Xifeng was feeding porridge to Wang Lianhua. The dim kerosene lamp shone on the faces of the two people, making their features not very clear.

"Sister Meng is here, come in quickly." Xifeng put down the bowl in her hand, called Shen Meng into the house, then ran out to pour a bowl of warm water.

"Sister-in-law, please sit down. My second sister-in-law doesn't have a kettle in her room. I poured this in my room. Have a drink. The temperature is just right!"

"No, no, I just came to see Sister Lianhua. It's my fault, I didn't think carefully enough and made Sister Lianhua suffer."

Wang Lianhua was leaning against the kang cabinet, wearing a headscarf on her head and her face was covered with colorful patches, looking a bit creepy.

"Sister, what are you talking about? You are kind-hearted. You gave such good food to Daqing and Erqing, and brought some for me and Xifeng. I heard from the children that they still eat dumplings with white flour and meat filling. Sister, you are so generous. If it were someone else's family, they would never be so generous." Wang Lianhua said hesitantly, her body twitching with pain, and she spoke weakly.

Xifeng nodded her head. She had eaten a lot of dumplings yesterday. They tasted amazing. She had never eaten such delicious dumplings in her life. They looked like they were made of two-grain flour, but she could tell that there was more white flour and less corn flour.

"I heard that your mother-in-law and your eldest sister-in-law compensated you three dollars. You must hide this money well, and don't let it come back and take it away from you."

"Hey, sister, don't worry, I hid it well. My mother-in-law is a stingy person. It's all thanks to you that she plucked my feathers this time. Otherwise, I would have received this beating in vain."

When Wang Lianhua said this, her nose twitched slightly and she cried loudly.

Shen Meng shook her head and took out the things in the basket.

"This is half a pound of brown sugar and a pound of egg cake. I originally wanted to use eggs, but I was afraid that your second aunt would use the eggs to make trouble, so I asked someone to buy this. You can hide it and eat it."

"That won't do, sister. I've already eaten your dumplings. If you keep asking for so many things, we won't meet again. Such precious things are hard to buy. Don't waste them on me."

Shen Meng stuffed the thing into Wang Lianhua's hand and held her hand tightly.

"Don't shirk. I used to be a bit unreliable, but you took care of the children. I am grateful. We are cousins, so we should visit each other more often in the future!"

Wang Lianhua was about to refuse Shen Meng, but Xifeng smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, just take it. This is Sister Meng's gift. She is right. We are sisters and we should visit each other often in the future."

Since both of them said so, Wang Lianhua didn't know what to say. She took out three egg cakes in front of the two of them, gave half to each of the children, and asked Xifeng to lock the rest in the kang cabinet.

"That's right, but I still have something to say. If Sister Lianhua and Xifeng think that what I said is wrong, just pretend that I never said it, okay?"

"You just said we are sisters, why are you being so polite again? Xiao Meng, just speak frankly, we are listening!" They had never had much contact before, but since Shen Meng kowtowed to her, she has become much kinder and more humane. She no longer embarrasses others when she speaks, and she is knowledgeable and polite in everything. If you make friends with such a person, you will definitely gain a lifelong friendship.

"Then I'll be frank, sister-in-law Lianhua, the second aunt is not an easy person to get along with. You two daughters-in-law know this in your hearts, but Zhao Jingui can get along well with her. Besides the fact that they are from the same place, Zhao Jingui can stand on his own. Xifeng is better than you. Sister-in-law, Daqing and Erqing are both good children. They are boys, and the Lu family will not embarrass them. But Yaoyao is a girl, and she was scared today. Sister-in-law, this is not a small matter. They know in their hearts that you didn't hide any food or money. They just think you are easy to bully. If you still have this temper, it will affect Yaoyao's life."

Shen Meng's words made Xifeng and Wang Lianhua stunned. They both looked at Yaoyao who was huddled aside watching Xiaokai, Daqing and Erqing play. It seemed that Yaoyao had been depressed since the fun in the morning. There was no expression on her face and she didn't eat much at lunch.

Wang Lianhua felt very regretful. Many people came to see her this afternoon, and Xifeng was busy greeting them and taking care of her, so neither of them noticed Yaoyao's situation.

"Thanks to your reminder, I didn't notice it. Hey, it's so late now, why hasn't the child's father come back yet? If he comes back, he can..."

"What else can I do? Can I help you take care of the children? Second sister-in-law, you were beaten like this today, are you still not awake? No wonder people always say that those who are involved are confused while those who are not involved are clear-headed. What Sister-in-law Meng said is right. Why did you get so confused? It's because your man is unreliable. Second brother runs around every day. I don't know what's going on all day long. I'm telling you, if you dare to give Second brother the food given by Sister-in-law Meng, I won't care about you."

Wang Lianhua was a little embarrassed and tried to stay calm without saying anything. Shen Meng saw that it was almost time, and the children needed to take a bath when she got home. Xie Jinghao was still making clothes for the children, so she couldn't stay any longer.

"Okay then. I'll go back. Oh, by the way, this is the safflower oil that Zhenping sent from southern Yunnan. Xifeng, you can rub it on Sister Lianhua. It will help to invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis."

"Hey, thank you, Sister Meng. I won't see you off. When my second sister-in-law gets better and can get out of bed, we'll go play with you together!"

"Okay, go back!"

After Shen Meng had sex again, Xifeng returned to the room holding the safflower oil. Wang Lianhua was lying on the bed with a distant look in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xifeng sighed, put the safflower oil on the table, and said quietly: "I really didn't expect that my sister-in-law is so clear-headed now. In the past, she was either busy trying to please Third Aunt or those Hu sisters. She said she was a military dependent, but in fact she was the old nanny the Lu family brought back to take care of the children. Now it's different. She gets along well with the children. Mingyang and the others will treat her as their own mother in the future. She is stunned. She will definitely live a better life in the future. Second sister-in-law, you see, Sister-in-law Meng is living a good life. You should also think more about yourself and the children."

Wang Lianhua didn't say anything. She felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Shen Meng took Lu Mingkai home. It was already getting dark. The little guy was a little scared and clung tightly to his mother.

Suddenly he saw a black shadow fall to the ground. He froze suddenly and pulled Shen Meng's clothes with a trembling voice.

"Mom, a ghost fell down. Did you see it?"

Shen Meng was startled by what the little guy said, and almost dragged the child to hide in the space. She was actually a little scared, especially on this country road. There were no street lights, and the moonlight was not very bright. The yellow leaves on the trees on both sides of the road rustled, and the occasional chirping of insects and birds made her feel a little nervous. After Lu Mingkai reminded her, she also saw the "ghost" that the little guy said.
