Chapter 36: Chapter 36: I’m Not Here to Cause Trouble

Shen Meng watched her fierce appearance, unafraid at heart, but also too lazy to argue with her. She rubbed her forehead with one hand, and massaged her chest with the other,

"Second Aunt, you might not think of scolding or hitting me, I’m still not well yet. If by accident my condition worsens or something happens to me in your house, when Zhenping comes back, it won’t be easy for you to explain. I didn’t come here to meddle today; I heard Sister-in-law Lianhua got beaten over a dumpling, is that true?"

Chen Zhaodi was so angry that she gritted her teeth, clapping her thighs fiercely, then started berating Shen Meng.

"You say no scolding and just expect no scolding? Who do you think you are? If you want to die, go die elsewhere. Why are you putting on an act in my house? Talking about Zhenping needing to explain, I’ve beaten him, and he’s not even dared to fart. Take your brat and get out of here, this has nothing to do with you."

Lu Mingkai was frightened, trembling all over. Previously, when they didn’t have food, Aunt Lianhua and Aunt Xifeng would leave something for them to eat. Second Grandmother and the elder aunt would throw plates and bowls, speaking very harshly. He was still scared looking at them now, but the person Second Grandmother was scolding now was his mother, and he couldn’t back down.

"Don’t scold my mom. If you keep scolding her, I’ll fight you to the death."

Shen Meng watched the scared little guy, his voice cracking, yet bravely standing in front of her. A warm current flowed through her heart; their time together had been meaningful.

"You little ingrate, you’ve eaten plenty of our food. Now when your mother causes trouble in my house, you defend her, tsk, you heartless little runt, just like your mother. If you dare come begging at my house again, I’ll break your legs."

"Wah~ sob sob sob... Second Grandmother, this old hag, is so scary... sob sob..."

Lu Mingkai had no combat ability, after bravely speaking up, he was scolded in return and turned to hug Shen Meng’s thigh, crying loudly. Before Shen Meng could pick him up, two other figures darted out behind them, one Lu Mingliang, the other Lu Mingfang.

"Mom, are you alright? Ming Liang is here to protect you."

"Ming Fang is here too."

The two little ones held hands, circling around her protectively like chicks around a mother hen.

"How did you two get here?"

"Mom, don’t be afraid, Ming Fang went to find the village chief and bumped into me and my brother. My brother is fast, he’s the eldest son of our branch after all, he’ll surely bring the village chief and the director here. My sister and I will protect you here."

Shen Meng: "..."

Though very touched, it was also a bit over the top; she herself wasn’t exactly a pushover either!!!

"I’ll say it again, I didn’t come here looking for trouble; I just want to ask if Sister-in-law Lianhua was beaten over a dumpling. What’s the matter, cat got your tongue? Can’t you speak?"

Daqing and Erqing opened their mouths but didn’t dare to speak. Xifeng, who was inside taking care of Wang Lianhua, rushed out,

"Yes, it’s just because of a dumpling. Sister-in-law Meng, your family has its own pile of troubles too. Out of kindness, you didn’t say anything, and neither did I nor Second Aunt; we are not the type to gossip. The kids also understand, they keep their mouths shut and grit their teeth, all because they don’t want to cause you any trouble."

Shen Meng nodded, casting a disdainful glance at Lu Yonggang, who seemed unbothered by the affair, her eyes full of contempt.

"Last night I made a bowl of dumplings for the kids. Daqing, Erqing, and Gao Gao are good children who know to be kind to their cousins. Whenever they come to my house to play, I give each of them one. I guess Daqing couldn’t bring himself to eat and saved it for Sister-in-law Lianhua instead, telling her that he had already eaten. As a mother, naturally, she would want to save the good stuff for her child. Yaoyao is still young, she took the dumpling and ate it. Who would’ve thought Sister-in-law Jin Gui, an adult, hasn’t seen a good thing before? It was just a dumpling that the child ate, how could she incite such a fight at home, and even end up with someone getting beaten up like this."

"Ah, sister-in-law, you can’t say it like that. Early this morning, who knew where Yaoyao got the dumpling from? I was just thinking of what’s best for the family. If Lianhua really hid food and money, wouldn’t that cause disharmony in the family? Besides, not considering offering the good things first to one’s mother, Yaoyao really is heartless."

While saying this, Zhao Jingui scornfully glared at Yaoyao. The child was already timid; having witnessed her mother being beaten and scolded by the grandmother and the elder aunt, and her father making snide remarks, she was so scared that she couldn’t even cry.

"Elder sister-in-law, don’t go too far. How old is Yaoyao? When you have good stuff, you’re also sneaking it to your sons and daughters. Even if you are angry with Lian Er, you can’t beat a person like she’s dying. Right now, whatever you and mother say, Second Aunt has been wronged."

Chen Zhaodi frowned and scolded as she looked at Xifeng.

"You’re as good as dead, knowing only to break up fights when others are being beaten. Why didn’t you say that the dumplings were given by Shen Meng? You just watched your Second Aunt get beaten. You also have a black heart. And you, why the heck did you wrap dumplings? If you didn’t give them to Daqing, such a thing wouldn’t have happened. The second daughter-in-law was also harmed by you, you have to pay compensation."

"You must pay compensation!" The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a glance, their scheming almost spilling out of their eyes.

Over there, Lu Yonggang, who had been silent all the while, suddenly stood up and spat viciously at Shen Meng. If not for Shen Meng dodging quickly, that loogie would have almost landed on her pants.

"You damn troublemaker, you’ve made your own family impossible to live with, and now you’re here to disrupt ours. My wife is injured like this; if you don’t pay up, I won’t let you leave today. Even if we take it to the commune, we still have the upper hand. You’ll have to pay for the medical expenses and nutritional supplements, give me ten yuan, hurry up and fork out the money."

Shen Meng looked at his shameless manner, unimaginably producing three lovely children like Daqing, Erqing, and Yaoyao. The Lu Family is a big clan, having produced an esteemed man like Lu Zhenping, publicly recognized as an excellent man, and another male lead. However, Shen Meng never imagined that this clan also harbored such lowlifes.

It seems impossible for their ancestral graves to be smoking with good fortune forever!!!

"How ridiculous, Lu Yonggang, you’re asking me for money? Where were you earlier, sitting there like you’re nailed to your seat? I almost thought you were a turtle in a thousand-year hibernation. Is Wang Lianhua my daughter-in-law? Are Daqing, Erqing, and Yaoyao my children? You watched your own wife get beaten and scolded, saw your children being bullied, and you didn’t even dare to fart a word, but now you have the audacity to ask me for money? Go to those who did the beating. Your mother and elder sister-in-law were quite enthusiastic just now, perfect, go get the money from them, and properly nourish your wife."

"You piece of shit, I...."

"Stop! What do you think you’re doing?" Guo Xiuxin shouted sternly, frightening Lu Yonggang into retracting his hand.

Guo Xiuxin strode up to Shen Meng, looked her up and down, and nodded towards her, then turned to Chen Zhaodi and others and said, "I’m here, let’s see who dares to beat anyone!"
