Chapter 56: Daughters can also provide shelter for them
"Xiao Meng, take it back quickly. How could you bring so much money like this? If others find out, they will definitely arrest you." Shen Yutian had never seen so much money before. He didn't feel very happy, but just felt very scared.
The younger sister came to Shenjiaji alone with four children and passed through two villages. He didn't dare to imagine how dangerous it would be if he was targeted by that street urchin.
"Oh my God, put it away quickly. It's hurting my eyes. You are so brave. How dare you go out with so much money!" Wang Guizhi covered her eyes and turned her head away.
Shen Shoutian looked at the money on the table with bloodshot eyes. For a man who had been poor for so many years, suddenly seeing so much money, one can imagine how excited, thrilled and at a loss he was.
Being excited is an instinct, but controlling yourself from being greedy is a skill.
Shen Meng secretly observed the reactions of the three people. Severe stimulation can best reflect a person's true inner heart.
She was willing to help the Shen family, firstly because she borrowed the original owner's body, and secondly because the Shen family's parents were so kind to her when she woke up.
But she would never allow the people of the Shen family to treat her as a piece of flesh and blood and cling to her like a leech.
This was not what she wanted to see, but fortunately, the Shen family did not let her down.
"Xiao Meng, I'm really happy that you're thinking about us, but Zhenping's allowance is also earned through hard work. We're not that greedy. Take the money back. Your second brother and I will find a way to repair the house. No matter how difficult it is, we can't let a married girl like you pay for it."
"Big brother..."
"Xiao Meng, stop talking. Take the money back. I'll take you home tomorrow. You can sleep with me at night. Stay warm with me. I miss you every day."
Shen Shoutian was about to stand up as he spoke. He couldn't bear it any longer. The situation at home and the glaring money on the table were pulling back and forth in his mind. He felt very uncomfortable.
"Brother, don't leave yet. I won't take this money back. How about this? Consider this 150 yuan as a loan from you, second brother, and Xiaobin. The 50 yuan will be used to honor my parents, and the rest will be used to buy cloth, shoes, and socks for my two sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces. Our house is really uninhabitable. It will be blown down by the next heavy rain. Do you want to watch your parents, wife, and children suffer? Besides, our family won't always be like this. Can't you just pay me back when you make money in the future?"
"Do not……"
"it is good!"
"Second brother?" Shen Shoutian didn't expect that before he could even say no, his second brother agreed directly. Not to mention borrowing money, even if he was given the money, he didn't know how to spend it.
"Brother, what my sister said is right. We are still young. One hundred and fifty yuan can be repaid in a lifetime. If you don't lend it to me, you and sister-in-law will continue to live in this shabby house, and Xiaomei and I will live in a new house. Well, there is something she won't let me tell you. Xiaomei is pregnant again, and I definitely can't let her suffer anymore."
"What? Xiaomei is pregnant. Oh, you idiot, why didn't you tell me? She's been working these past few days. It's been a few months. Has she been tired? No wonder you didn't let her hold Hongxing these past two days!"
Wang Guizhi glared at her second son several times, wishing she could slap him in the face, causing Shen Yutian's dark face to turn red.
Su Xiaomei and Lv Qinlan, who came to the door to talk, did not dare to go in. They did not expect that they were not just chatting about family matters in the main room, and they talked about such a sensitive topic. They said it was better not to borrow money. With the famine on their shoulders, they could not do anything well. They could live a tight life or a rich life. Anyway, one day at a time was another day, and there was no difference.
But when she looks at her own children and then at her sister-in-law's children, the mother feels very uncomfortable. That mother doesn't want her children to eat well, drink well, dress cleanly, and stay warm.
It's really because I'm not destined to be that way. No matter how hard I work, nothing works and my family is just so poor!
Shen Meng smiled leisurely.
"That's perfect. Second brother will find someone to tear down the house and rebuild it tomorrow. Build two more rooms and make it bigger. This money is enough. But it will take some time to install the black tiles. I'll go and ask about it later."
"Okay, okay!" Shen Yutian chuckled a few times and watched Shen Meng stuff all the money into Wang Guizhi's hands.
"Just tell mom how much you need the money for. There's no rush to pay me back. Living a good life is better than anything else."
Wang Guizhi's eyes were filled with tears as she held a stack of money in her hand. She felt mixed emotions. She never expected that the daughter whom she had cherished since childhood could now provide them with shelter.
When Shen Fugui woke up and learned about this, he was very angry. Shen Meng knew that he felt sorry for his daughter, but the old man's soft spot was also obvious. Shen Meng shed two tears and said that he didn't consider her as a family member. The old man immediately blushed and stopped talking.
Shen Meng and Lu Qinlan cooked the meal in the evening, mainly Shen Meng. She didn't find out until the evening that she had fried a plate of stir-fried beans and meat for lunch, and it was all for the children. They didn't want to put much meat in it, so they asked her to take it away when she came back.
Shen Meng was speechless. She chopped up the remaining pork belly, used sweet potato flour to make fried chicken, sprinkled it with cabbage, eggs, and coriander, and boiled a pot of fried chicken soup.
She fried another eggplant and served a plate of stir-fried pork with peppers. When frying, she used a spatula to scoop out the lard, which scared Lü Qinlan, who was cooking in the pot.
The fragrant smell wafting from the Shen family's yard was so tempting that people couldn't sleep. Many people leaned against the wall and drank cold water just to smell the aroma.
Shen Meng lit the kerosene lamp, and the whole family sat at the dinner table. For a while, no one picked up their chopsticks. This was the most sumptuous meal the Shen family had ever had. Even during Chinese New Year, they had never eaten anything so good, especially the basket of fried cakes, which were so greasy that the greedy children swallowed their saliva hard.
"Why aren't you eating? Pick up your chopsticks!"
"Xiao Meng, you can't live like this. No matter how much money you have, you can't help spending it!" Wang Guizhi couldn't help but lecture her again.
"I am so happy to be home today. Mom, you can eat at ease. We have all grown up. It is time to honor you and dad. Big brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, little brother, you all can eat. Pick up your chopsticks. Wash up and go to bed early at night, otherwise our mother will be distressed about the kerosene money."
"Okay, you little bitch, eat it all and try your sister's cooking."
After Wang Guizhi spoke, everyone started to use their chopsticks. Shen Yutian couldn't wait any longer and picked up two pieces of stir-fried pork with chopsticks. It was spicy, fresh and fragrant, with oil bursting in the mouth. It was extremely delicious.
He ate with relish and also picked up a few pieces for Su Xiaomei. Each person had a big bowl of chicken soup with pepper added and served with fried cakes. The people who ate it were sweating.
