Chapter 92 The bright red pants

The next morning, when Shen Meng's attending physician was examining her, he happened to meet Cheng Yufen who was making rounds. He casually mentioned that the last time the Cheng family came to the hospital to cause trouble, they had all seen Shen Meng and vaguely remembered what she looked like. After all, Dr. Cheng's family was difficult and not easy to deal with, so everyone sympathized with Dr. Cheng but was also very scared.

When Cheng Yufen heard that Shen Meng was hospitalized, she was surprised for a moment. They were all acquaintances, so it would be inappropriate not to come and see her. So she followed them to see her. When she entered the ward, she saw that she did not look very well.

"Comrade Shen, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Meng saw that it was her and hurried to get up. Lu Zhenping pressed her shoulder and said, "I need to check it. Don't move." He looked at Cheng Yufen and continued, "Something happened at home. She got a head injury."

The attending doctor flipped her eyelids, pressed her wound, asked some questions, then nodded and wrote a prescription to the accompanying nurse.

"Hang two more bottles of water in the morning, and you'll be discharged in the afternoon. There are still some medicines you need to take. I've written you a list. Just take them according to the dosage and you'll be fine for five days. If you still feel any discomfort in your head, come back for a checkup."

"Okay, thank you doctor."

After the doctor came out, the young nurse came over with medicine and injections. After hanging up the IV for Shen Meng, she told Lu Zhenping to remember to call for help when removing the needle, and not to do it by himself, otherwise the head nurse would scold them if she found out.

Lu Zhenping nodded quickly. Although he knew some first aid, he couldn't cause trouble for the nurse.

When Cheng Yufen saw how intimate this man was with Shen Meng, she felt relieved. Just now when she was talking to Shen Meng's attending doctor, she already knew that she was admitted to the hospital because her father-in-law beat her with a broom because of the police from the brick factory. Fortunately, her husband came back in time to send her to the hospital. If he had come back later, who knows what would have happened!

Shen Meng had helped her before, and this time it was more or less due to their family reasons. She also wanted to help Shen Meng. Such a good person, so her husband should not be bad either.

"This must be Comrade Lu, Comrade Shen's lover, right? Hehe, it's good that you're back. Comrade Shen is really a rare good person, kind to the children and the sisters-in-law. Comrade Lu must treat her well!"

Lu Zhenping was surprised for a moment. He didn't expect that Shen Meng knew people in the hospital and that they recognized her so much.

"Thank you, she's a very nice person."

"By the way, Comrade Shen, I heard that your family is going to build a house. Do you have enough bricks and tiles? If you need more, I'll tell my wife."

According to Cheng Yufen's previous behavior, it would have been impossible for her to say these words. However, she was so happy during this period. Not only did her daughter and son often come home, but her daughter-in-law also brought her grandson to see her. Her husband Kong Wenxiang was very kind when he spoke to her now. This was when their family was living a good life in the past.

She was immersed in such happiness, and her husband kept praising her for being a principled person. Sometimes principles don't need to be broken, but just used in a different way.

For example, last time her husband gave Shen Meng a note from the Brick and Tile Factory, she felt it was inappropriate, but Kong Wenxiang said that there were several batches of people who got it through connections, and those people were not in a hurry to get it, and it was okay to stay for a few months or half a year at night. She hadn't lived such a happy life for a long time, and she really didn't want to refute him.

She asked about it yesterday, and Kong Wenxiang said that nothing was wrong. A leader even called him to say that he didn't need the bricks and tiles for the time being. Only then did she feel relieved.

Shen Meng knew in her heart that Kong Wenxiang was Cheng Yufen's husband, but she couldn't pretend that she knew it. She looked at Cheng Yufen with confusion.

"Doctor Cheng, how do you know about my family building a house? Do I know your husband?"

Thinking about Kong Wenxiang's cautious look last time, she couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Shen Meng was right. "Hey, my husband is Kong Wenxiang, the director of the brick and tile factory. Last time my sister-in-law came to make trouble, you helped me and scolded me to wake me up. My family is living in harmony now. When you went to the brick and tile factory to ask about bricks and tiles, he recognized you and helped to approve a note for you. I thought you knew it, but you don't even know he is my husband now!"

"Oh, I thought so. When I went to ask, the young man at the door said there was no stock. Not long after, he came to my house to find me and gave me a note. I have already sent it to my mother's house. They will go to get bricks in two days. Thank you so much, Doctor Cheng. I didn't even know this. I have received such a big favor from you. I really don't know how to thank you."

Cheng Yufen shook her head, said a few more words to Shen Meng, glanced at Lu Zhenping before leaving. What she said was so obvious. If Comrade Lu was smart, he should know that the money from the brick and tile factory was given to Shen Meng by their own family, and it was not borrowed from the Lu family.

"Dr. Cheng just now is obviously here to support you. When did you get to know the doctors at the county hospital?"

"A young child, a cruel mother, a husband who is a soldier, and a broken home. If I don't get to know more people, I know how hard life will be. Forget it, it's useless to say it anyway. Go buy me breakfast. I'm starving."

Lu Zhenping: “.”

What you said was even more beautiful than what you sang. In the past, when I received the letter every month asking for the allowance, I was really pressing!

Shen Meng looked at Lu Zhenping's back with melancholy. From now on, there was a shrewd adult in the family. If she wanted to take things from the space, she had to be careful. How was she going to live? The thought made her feel uncomfortable.

After being discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, Lu Zhenping took her to a state-owned restaurant. It was a cloudy day, so he ordered a bowl of beef noodles for Shen Meng. After dinner, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative and the bookstore together and bought a lot of things.

Shen Meng felt that he was trying to make up for it.

When Uncle Guai was sending someone to the county town in the afternoon, he happened to pick up two people returning home. Looking at the two people sitting quietly on the ox cart, he wanted to say something but stopped himself several times.

When Lu Zhenping looked at him for the fifth time, he stared at him.

"Uncle, just say whatever you want to say."

They were almost at the entrance of the village, and they had to know that they couldn't escape the beating from Mingyang and the other kids.

"Well, Zhenping, Xiaomeng, listen to me, it's not a big deal. They are just kids playing around. It's not their fault. Just go back and talk to the kids. Don't kill them."

???

These words made Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng's eyelids twitch. They looked at each other and then looked at Uncle Guai.

The latter swallowed his saliva and said, "Well, Mingyang and Mingliang, those two brats, ran away last night when your Aunt Juying wasn't paying attention. I don't know how they did it, but they climbed over the wall into the old courtyard, twisted Jiaxuan's wife's hair, and smashed a hole in the kitchen pot. Your father's red pants were hung on the tree branch at the door. It was bright and eye-catching. The whole village was in an uproar this morning."

Shen Meng: “.”

Lu Zhenping: “.”
