Chapter 110: Mom Works Every Night

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Mom Works Every Night

Lu Jiasheng wanted to say more, but Xie Jinghao quickly shoved him aside with her butt. She used to not understand, but now what could she not know? Her elder sister-in-law was constantly finding ways to get things from them!

"Elder sister-in-law, I’ll keep the stuff, thank you so much for the trouble and also big brother, who has put a lot of effort into building our yard recently. Jiasheng bought some Erguotou liquor, he should drink more later."

"It’s nothing, it should be like that. Your big brother is full of energy and has nowhere else to use it, he sleeps better at night after doing more work."

Shen Meng said this very seriously, uttering complete nonsense, totally unaware of the somewhat gloomy expression on Lu Zhenping’s face.

After Xie Jinghao and Shen Meng sat down, the two of them simultaneously looked at Liu Sanjin and the others, and there was no need to mention the rest.

When the Lu Family’s third son divided the family property, these close relatives, regardless of the amount, also gave them something. The young couple now managing their own household relied primarily on the help of neighbors: one household might add some food, another some tools, and together they barely scraped by.

This is just for close relatives, do we even need to speak for blood relatives?

Liu Sanjin forced a stiff smile while looking at Xie Jinghao, but his eyes betrayed an unprecedented bitterness.

"We’ve prepared; my wife arranged twenty kilograms of food coupons and ten yuan for Third’s family, plus two kilograms of brown sugar. We’re old and forgetful, we rushed over in a hurry. Later, Jiasheng and his mother should go back and fetch them. Since the family is divided now, you should lead good lives, and this young couple should come to us whenever they face indecisive situations. We, despite our age, can still work for a couple more years. Most importantly, you should bring Xiao Gang and Xiao Ya back for me to see often, I really can’t bear to part from these two kids."

Lu Zhenping glanced over at her; Liu Sanjin seemed to have picked up these tricks from Bai Shuyu, always making things sound perfect, always earning a good reputation for himself.

Her words indeed made everyone present continuously praise her.

"Look at Aunt Three, such a good mother-in-law, Jinghao, you’re really lucky."

"A good mother-in-law, good sisters-in-law, you won’t find such a harmonious family in ten miles. No wonder Aunt Three’s sons are all capable men."

"Zhenping, Jiasheng, Jiahe, you guys should really honor your Uncle Three and Aunt Three in the future. Jiaxuan isn’t here today, but if he were, I’d say the same. Although I’m just an uncle, I must speak this way. And Xiao Meng, Jiaojiao, and Xiang Lan, you all must honor your mother-in-law well. If you mistreat her, I won’t stand for it!"

....

Shen Meng quietly rolled her eyes, thinking who are you to not agree with us? If you decline, take her home and honor her yourself; why make such a commanding statement?

Zhou Jiaojiao indeed had some good items, and since Liu Sanjin had contributed money and sugar, upon reflecting, she could only decide to offer the two pillowcases from the kerosene cabinet that she had long been reluctant to use.

Wu Xianglan kept her head down throughout, truly having nothing decent to give. During the last property division, although Lu Jiahe said the money was for buying new clothes for her and the children, he took it instantly and has yet to tell her where he spent it.

The few yuan she had painstakingly saved were also given to Xie Jinghao. Even if she sold herself now, she wouldn’t have anything decent to give Xie Jinghao.

"I, I, I...."

"Didn’t Xiang Lan buy a red silk scarf last year? I think it’s just perfect, Jinghao just had a baby this year, and it’s especially important not to catch cold in the upcoming winter. Why not give that to Jinghao?"

Shen Meng said with a smiling face, not considering Wu Xianglan to be either a bad or good person. Originally, in the storyline, she clung to Zhou Jiaojiao and didn’t mistreat Mingyang’s kids too少 , yet she managed to live quite well in the future.

Zhou Jiaojiao, unlike in the book where she cheated the system, was preoccupied with her own troubles and naturally couldn’t help Wu Xianglan.

To make the protagonist suffer, we must first pluck out her claws!!!

Wu Xianglan turned pale at her words and looked at her sharply, that red scarf; she had only ever dared to wear it once, on the first day of the New Year, and since then, she had kept it safely stored in her kang cabinet, never daring to take it out again. This year, she was thinking of trading that scarf for something else, at least to get her children a pair of new cotton shoes to wear for the New Year.

She scanned the crowd, no one spoke up to help her, even her good friend Zhou Jiaojiao kept her head down. Wu Xianglan felt a chilling loneliness, thinking of how she was the first to run here for the feast, and now realizing she was a complete fool.

"Elder sister-in-law is right, as long as Jinghao doesn’t mind, it’s fine."

Even if she was unwilling, what could she do? The mother-in-law and sisters-in-law had all taken, if she didn’t, she’d truly lose all face.

"I don’t mind, I don’t mind, thank you second sister-in-law."

Xie Jinghao faced the unkind eyes of her mother-in-law and other sisters-in-law, feeling a bit scared inside, but still tried to calm herself down, with her elder sister-in-law by her side, what was there to fear?

Ever since being completely exploited by Lu Zhenping, Mingyang’s children had never had Shen Meng’s breakfast again, as she started waking up later each day.

This evening, after eating, Mingyang’s children didn’t rush back to their room to do homework but surrounded Shen Meng, asking her if she was going to work tonight, causing her face to flush red.

"Mom, just tell me if there’s any work, I’ll do it. Mom, I really, really want to eat your Shuijianbao."

"And spicy soup, and buns, mom, don’t let dad cook in the morning anymore. We drink sweet potato tea every day, and I can’t even poop properly, my stomach hurts."

"Big brother, I haven’t finished eating yet, please don’t talk about poop."

Lu Mingkai, holding his little bowl, looked discontentedly at Lu Mingliang, who grinned showing his teeth for a moment and then turned his gaze back to his mom.

Shen Meng’s teeth gritted audibly, and she glared at the man trying to stifle his laughter, and fiercely stomped on his foot under the table.

"Mom won’t be busy tonight, I’ll make you something delicious in the morning, I’ll soak the vermicelli and dried mushrooms right now, and make you something tasty in the morning."

"Really?"

"Mom, that’s great, hehehe!"

"Finally, we don’t have to eat what dad cooks, so good."

"I don’t want to eat what dad cooks either."

The muttering voices of the children finally darkened the face of the man who had just been trying to hold back his laughter. He woke up so early every day just so the kids could have something to eat, and yet these ungrateful little ones still complained about his cooking.

With the time taken to make breakfast, he’d rather stay in bed cuddling with his wife!!!

The next day, Shen Meng cooked a pot of mushroom, vegetable, and lamb buns, along with a pot of Shuijianbao, the iron pot having been taken from her space storage, always kept in the cupboard. Before, when Lu Zhenping asked about it, she had said that it was specially commissioned and cost quite a bit of money.

Having slept in for many days, waking up early suddenly, Shen Meng really wasn’t used to it, it was too cold today, the yard was foggy in the morning, and she thought of going to the county for a trip today, to take out the coal stove and coal from her storage, otherwise, cooking in winter was unbearable.
