Age of Rebirth: The Stepmother of the Sick Beauty Only Wants Salted Fish

Chapter 1344: Don’t Be Hypocritical, Understand?

Hearing this, Mingrui opened the car door, leaned over and nodded to Meng Xingping and said "I understand", then said goodbye to Meng Xingping and the rest of the Meng family, sat upright in the driver's seat, and closed the car door again.

Wang Guilan stood at the door of the main room. Seeing Luo Yanqing start the car, she couldn't hold back anymore and hurried to the door of the courtyard. Her eyes were moist and full of reluctance, watching Luo Yanqing and Mingrui drive away.

It wasn't until the car was no longer visible that Wang Guilan, her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren turned around and walked into the courtyard gate.

There was nothing to do during the Chinese New Year. Knowing that my mother would probably be depressed at this time, the Meng Xingping brothers did not go back to their respective rooms. They followed Wang Guilan as if to discuss it, intending to talk to and comfort my mother.

At this moment, my mother and I were sitting on the kang, and Meng Xingping said: "Mother, Brother Luo can come to our house to see you during the Chinese New Year this year. I think he will definitely come again every year as long as he has time."

"What the third child is saying is, mother, Brother Luo should have forgiven you. You don't have to feel guilty about the past."

This is the voice of the boss Meng Xingwang.

"I talked with Mingrui's nephew. He was indeed the top scorer in the college entrance examination two years ago. I also learned from him that Minghan and Mingwei will take the college entrance examination in July this year."

Meng Xingmin said, he looked at Meng Xingwang: "Brother, my daughter will also take the college entrance examination this year. You have to pay more attention to her study. We don't say how well she will do in the exam. At least she can pass the exam like me, my uncle." Junior college, this can also set a good example for the younger brothers and sisters below.”

After a pause, Meng Xingmin added: "Mingrui Minghan and Mingwei are both very good at studies. Looking back, their brother and sister did well in the exam. I think brother Luo and sister-in-law will definitely hold a celebration banquet for these two children. We should pay more attention to it." , When the results of the college entrance examination come out, I will call Brother Luo’s home to ask, so as not to miss the congratulations again. "

"Brother Luo, did you leave your home phone number for us?"

The fourth man, Meng Xingguo, asked the sixth man, Meng Xingmin.

"I asked Mingrui for it."

Meng Xingmin responded.

"Brother Luo, you have spent a lot of money this time."

Wang Guilan said something abruptly.

Meng Xinglai, the fifth child, said: "Mom, we all see it. Not to mention that the gifts brought by Brother Luo and the others are worth at least one or two hundred yuan. Just add the red envelopes that my sister-in-law gave to Nannan and the younger generation. It’s about two hundred yuan.”

"The red envelopes given by my sister-in-law to the children contained two large unity packets."

Meng Xingwang said, scratching his head in embarrassment: "Nanny's mother gave Brother Luo's children two yuan each. Mom, we and I have embarrassed you."

Wang Guilan waved her hand: "As long as you are willing, your brother Luo probably won't care about this."

The second child, Meng Xingsheng, said angrily: "Miao Miao's mother also gave her two yuan per child."

Meng Xingping: "Every child in our room is given five yuan."

Meng Xingguo: "I am the same as Third Brother."

Meng Xing came to see his mother and then the brothers one by one. He said, "Ye Sang didn't discuss it with me. She made the decision and made six red envelopes, each with ten yuan stuffed in them."

The eldest Meng Xingwang and the second eldest Meng Xingsheng didn't feel much when they heard this. After all, one of them worked in a factory in the town and the other farmed at home. Their economic income was incomparable to that of the fifth eldest, Meng Xinglai, a college student.

The third oldest Meng Xingping, the fourth oldest Meng Xingguo, and the sixth oldest Meng Xingmin all stared at Meng Xinglai: "The fifth brother and sister (fifth sister-in-law) are quite good at things!"

Meng Xinglai: "..."

I don't know whether the brothers were mocking his wife or simply complimenting her. For a moment, Meng Xinglai didn't know how to answer the question.

"Fifth brother, we are praising fifth sister-in-law. Fifth sister-in-law is so generous and gives face to our parents!"

Meng Xingmin smiled and extended his thumb towards Meng Xinglai.

"Your fifth sister-in-law said that although our family is not divided, Brother Luo's family came to bring heavy gifts, and Sister-in-law Jiang Li gave each of our children twenty yuan in red envelopes. We can't afford much in this room. It’s still possible to give each of Brother Luo’s children ten yuan in red envelopes.”

Meng Xinglai and his wife had a son and a daughter, a twin brother and a daughter. Although they were young, Jiang Li did not ignore them when he gave them red envelopes, and he did not favor one over the other.

"My wife's red envelopes are all in denominations of five yuan."

Meng Xingmin rubbed his nose and said, "I feel very embarrassed after knowing this, but if Brother Luo brings the children over next year, I will put more in the red envelope."

"If you ask me, the most embarrassing among the brothers are me and the fourth child!"

Meng Xingping's mouth was full of bitterness: "If it hadn't been for Brother Luo's help back then, I, the Fourth, would not be where I am today. But now, the one from my family and the Fourth's family..."

"Okay, just from what Mingrui and his brothers and sisters are wearing, we can see that Brother Luo's family is not short of money. As long as you treat each other sincerely, they won't care how much you put in the red envelope. ”

Wang Guilan took out a red envelope from her trouser pocket: "This is what your sister-in-law Jiang Li gave me."

She opened the red envelope and took out the money. The next moment, the Meng Xingping brothers all opened their eyes wide.

"Five hundred dollars!"

Meng Xingmin was amazed.

Meng Xinglai said: "The monthly salary of an ordinary worker in a state-owned factory is sixty or seventy yuan. Mom, the red envelope Sister-in-law Jiang Li gave you is equivalent to six or seven months' salary of an ordinary worker without food or water!"

"I don't want it. Your sister-in-law Jiang Li forced it on me and asked me to keep it as pocket money."

Wang Guilan felt very complicated in her heart. The New Year's money she gave to Mingrui and the others was ten yuan each, which she thought was very reasonable. Unexpectedly, Jiang Li, her real eldest daughter-in-law, gave each of her grandchildren in the Meng family A red envelope of twenty yuan, and an elder gave her five hundred yuan... At this moment, Wang Guilan's eyes couldn't help but feel sour.

She knew that Jiang Li could give her a big red envelope of 500 yuan, and her son Yan Qing must know it.

It can be seen from this that the child has her as his mother in his heart, but because he knows it, she feels more and more that what she did back then is not human, and she feels more and more indebted to Luo Yanqing!

In the silence of the night, Meng Xingping put one hand behind his head and asked his wife: "You gave red envelopes to Brother Luo's children. Don't you know that Sister-in-law Jiang Li stuffed twenty yuan into the red envelopes for our children?"

"Know."

Hearing what his wife said, Meng Xingping turned over and lay on his side facing her: "Then what do you think?"

"What can I think? Do you think I don't have enough bag?"

Meng Xingping's wife's surname was Liu and her given name was Xuan. She said: "The red dollars are a lot of money. Besides, we only have three children in our family. Your brother Luo brought six children here. Besides, except for the red envelopes I gave him, , my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law, they also give me a lot. If you count this, our family has given us a lot."

"Can the account be settled like this?"

Meng Xingping frowned: "To take a step back, let's just go with what you say. Think about how many children we have in our family."

"14, what's wrong?"

They have four children in the big room and two in the second room. They have three children in the third room, two in the fourth room, two in the fifth room and one in the sixth room.

"Twenty, how much does fourteen cost for a child? Two hundred and eighty. Including the gifts brought by Brother Luo and Sister-in-law Jiang Li, the total is at least five hundred yuan. In addition, Sister-in-law Jiang Li also stuffed something for my mother. There are hundreds of yuan in red envelopes. In comparison, how much money can the six of us brothers give to their children together? "

Meng Xingping said in a low tone: "The eldest brother works in the town, and his monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan. The second brother works at home and farm. The fourth, fifth, sixth and I are all outside. We should take the lead and be more generous. What's the result?

You gave Brother Luo's children five yuan as a new year's gift. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable. Especially when I heard Lao Wu say that his wife’s red envelopes for Mingrui and the others were all worth ten yuan, I felt so embarrassed at that moment. "

"How much did the fourth and sixth brothers give?"

Liu Xuan asked.

Meng Xingping: "It's the same as what you gave me."

Liu Xuan: "Then it's over. If you give me more, I'll give you less. As long as your heart is there, I think it's okay."

Meng Xingping: "Brother Luo and his wife are not ordinary people, and all the children in the family are very smart. The eldest Mingrui was the top scorer in the national college entrance examination two years ago and was admitted to Beijing Foreign Studies University. He will be a diplomat in Japan. This year, the second and third eldest children will take the exam. College entrance examination, in short, let me tell you, unless you don’t deal with Brother Luo and his family in the future, and you can’t ask for help, then you can do whatever you want, otherwise, change your behavior. "

"You say I'm stingy? But am I stingy? You should say it's because your brother Luo and his wife are living a good life and have broad hands."

Liu Xuan was a little unconvinced: "I know you think that the other person has helped you, but he and you are somewhat related by blood anyway. Isn't it normal to help your brother? Besides, five yuan is a lot of money. Take it out Flowers can buy you a lot of things!”

Although she said this, in fact Liu Xuan also felt that compared with Meng Xingsheng's daughter-in-law Ye Sang, she was indeed stingy and made Meng Xingping lose face among her brothers.

Living next door to Meng Xingping and his family was still his half-brother Meng Qingdong's family.

Luo Yanqing and Jiang Li brought their children to Mawang Village to visit Wang Guilan. Meng Qingdong's family naturally knew about this. After all, they lived next door. There were two cars parked at the door of Wang Guilan's house, and Wang Guilan's side There was a lot of commotion in the courtyard. Even if they didn't deliberately listen and watch, Meng Qingdong's family knew that a distinguished guest was coming next door, and the distinguished guest was the son Wang Guilan gave birth to before entering the Meng family.

"Our family is somewhat related to the son your stepmother gave birth to before she entered the Meng family. He is here to wish your stepmother New Year's greetings. Why doesn't he come to our door to have a look? And your stepmother, this is Zhenhe We have drawn a clear line and don’t even come over to call us during lunch.”

Meng Qingdong's mother-in-law was lying on the kang muttering, especially when she thought of the gifts Luo Yanqing and Jiang Li took out from the trunk of the car, she felt like cat's claws in her heart, wishing she could go to the next door to carry all those things to her home.

"Didn't you instigate me to draw a clear line with my neighbor in the early years? This tree has a living bark and a person has a living face. I have already said that we should sever ties with him, and there are village cadres as witnesses. Now you are jealous of the next door? What's more, the brothers next door are all The sequence was re-filmed, from the eldest to the sixth, and I was not included in it.”

There was a little resentment in Meng Qingdong's voice.

"Are you blaming me? But can you blame me? When I married you, you had a bad relationship with your stepmother, and you didn't even talk to the son you had with your stepmother. I didn't say that. Wrong?"

Meng Qingdong's mother-in-law was very dissatisfied: "If you really want to complain, blame your father. He was very clear in his calculations during his lifetime. He was afraid that your stepmother would treat you and your sister-in-law badly. He only planned for you, so he offended your stepmother and made others treat you badly." I saw you and my sister-in-law, but your father closed his eyes and kicked his legs, walking very neatly!"

"My dad..."

Meng Qingdong didn't know how to continue.

His father remarried in his early years so that there would be a woman at home to take care of him and his sister Honghong. He also knew that his father was afraid that his brother and sister would be wronged by their stepmother, so he was only concerned about them before he died, and he didn't care much about the children born by his stepmother.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have married him and married his sister Honghong off, and then left his stepmother and several young half-brothers behind.

Meng Qingdong knew very well that his father died early due to overwork, but he also knew that his father did some things wrong, such as always preventing his stepmother from visiting the child born before, being wary of his stepmother in everything, and not being close to the children born by his stepmother, which led to the stepmother and her son not being close to him and his sister, which led to some things later.

For example, the stepmother's family was pulled up by the son she gave birth to before, and the family's life improved more than ten years ago. Now, except for Meng Xingwang and Meng Xingsheng, the six sons born by his stepmother have all made progress.

However, they didn't even look at his half brother.

Today, their half brother came to visit. Look at how lively it was. The whole village must be jealous!

"What's wrong with your father? Isn't it because of your father that your relationship with your stepmother's family is worse than that of neighbors?"

Meng Qingdong's wife was full of resentment, and none of her words were good: "He went to report to the King of Hell and left the mess to you. Now it has caused our family to not even get the light from your stepmother. That old thing is really harmful! Otherwise, if one or two of our sons can get the support of the third and fourth sons next door, our family will definitely live a better life!"

"What's the use of you saying this now?"

Meng Qingdong sighed: "Go to sleep, after all, Dad really has nothing to say to me when he was alive. Don't complain anymore, making my dad unable to close his eyes in the underworld."

"I don't care about him!"

Meng Qingdong's wife turned over, her back to Meng Qingdong: "The old thing has harmed our family. If he didn't die early, you can see how I treat him!"

North City

At the same time, Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing just lay down on the bed, Jiang Li said: "Rui Rui left our family there, you have no objection, right?"

"They asked Luo Mingrui for it, right?"

Although it was a question, Luo Yanqing already had the answer in his heart.

"Yeah."

Jiang Li said: "After all, they are relatives. If there is something, it is more convenient to call and inform them."

Luo Yanqing: "I have no objection."

"Rui Rui's grandmother has aged a lot."

"Everyone will get old."

"Mr. Luo, can you speak tactfully and with a little human touch?"

"Don't people get old?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"If you want to say who is the smartest in our family, it must be you."

"Don't think that you can make me not care about you just because you please me."

"What to care about?"

Luo Yanqing's dark phoenix eyes were full of innocence, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but Jiang Li didn't see it.

"Just pretend to be confused!"

Glancing at the man, Jiang Li said, "Your vacation will be over in three or four days. Where do you want to go next?"

Hearing this, Luo Yanqing embraced Jiang Li in his arms, and he gently rubbed her forehead with his chin: "I'm not going anywhere. I just want to be with you all the time."

"Okay, let's stay at home. I'll cook whatever you want to eat. We'll talk, read books, and walk in the yard every day."

After a slight pause, Jiang Li said, "Tomorrow at noon, after my parents leave, we'll go back to the big courtyard to live."

The big house is lively when there are many people living here, but Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen proposed to live back in their courtyard when Jiang Li's family came back from Mawang Village this afternoon, saying that this place is too big, and even if they live together, it's still not very convenient to move around.

There are many courtyards. When Jiang Li arranged accommodation for Captain Jiang and others on the day before New Year's Eve, he directly arranged several courtyards for them. There was a little distance between each courtyard. Everyone was comfortable living there, but they were not used to it. Cai Xiufen proposed to move back, and Captain Jiang and Brother Jiang had no objection.

Therefore, except for Jiang Li's family, the bodyguards who took care of Jiang Li's mother and others in the courtyard of Shuimu University, the housekeeper and the gardener who hired and tended the flowers and plants, there was no one else living in the mansion.

As for Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya, they returned to the Jiang family's old house in the afternoon of the first day of the new year.

"Okay."

Luo Yanqing responded, and then said: "It's better for the children to live in the mansion during the summer vacation."

Jiang Li said "um".

...

After lunch on the third day of the new year, Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing took their children back to their home in the courtyard.

"Happy New Year, Aunt Xue!"

At the gate, Minghan had just come out of the yard and was about to play ball with his friends in the compound. When he saw the hostess of the Xue family next door coming over, he couldn't help but wish her a happy new year.

"Happy New Year to you too."

Fang Ju smiled and asked, "I wonder if your mother is at home?"

"Yes."

Minghan responded.

Fang Ju: "Is your mother busy or idle?"

"I'm idle, Aunt, go in, I'm going to play ball with my friends."

Minghan was about to leave when she said that. Fang Ju waved her hand and said, "You go play, Aunt, I'll go in right away."

After Minghan left, Fang Ju opened the gate and entered the yard.

"Mom, Aunt Xue is here!"

Mingwei and Guoguo were sitting in the living room watching TV. When they saw Fang Ju coming in from outside the door, they greeted Fang Ju, and then Guoguo shouted a few words in the direction of the study.

After a while, Jiang Li walked out of Luo Yanqing's study.

"Happy New Year, sister-in-law!"

Sitting on the sofa opposite Fang Ju, Jiang Liming had a smile in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, happy new year to everyone. May everything go well and all the best."

Fang Ju smiled and saw that Ming Wei had brought Guo Guo back to the room. There was no one else in the living room except her and Jiang Li, so she talked about what had happened in the Wen family in the past few years.

After hearing what Fang Ju said, Jiang Li was slightly surprised: "Sister-in-law, you mean that Comrade Wen is very likely to get back together with the person in front of him?"

"I think it's almost the same. Otherwise, how could Wen Yue's mother come back to our compound from outside with Teacher Wen on New Year's Eve? And I heard that the person Wen Yue's mother married five years ago No, besides, Wen Yue’s mother was transferred back to Beicheng from the south in the first half of last year and now works in the Chinese Library.”

Fang Ju said this and sighed softly: "Actually, I couldn't understand why Teacher Wen divorced Wen Yue's mother. Wen Yue's mother is said to be a good woman with a gentle temper. She usually talks less, but She took good care of her family and Teacher Wen, but Teacher Wen didn't know what she was thinking. Not long after Wen Yue's mother gave birth to Wen Yu, she filed for divorce. It took a while, but in the end they divorced.

Now that the two of them can get together again, I think they are still destined to be husband and wife after all, don’t you think? "

Jiang Li nodded: "It is indeed fate."

Unexpectedly, Fang Ju said again: "But after Teacher Wen married Suman, I guess Teacher Wen chose to divorce Wen Yue's mother because she wanted a son."

“It’s up to the man to be a boy or a girl, not us women.”

Jiang Li said in a light tone: "Besides, this is a new society. The country advocates equality between men and women. There are no sons in this family. As long as the daughters are raised well, they will not be worse than the boys. Besides, in ancient times, there was a saying that 'women are not allowed to give way to men'. If Comrade Wen really chose to divorce Wen Yue's mother because she failed to give birth to a boy, I can only say that his vision is narrow. "

"Although what you say makes sense, the old ideas are deeply ingrained. In this family, if you have a wife, who doesn't want to have a boy?"

Fang Ju smiled: "I don't mean to say that having a girl is bad, but everyone thinks it is better to have a boy, thinking that this can support the family."

"Yes, the traditional concept is indeed what my sister-in-law said."

Jiang Li looked indifferent: "By the way, has Comrade Wen released any news that he wants to get back together with Wen Yue's mother?"

"I haven't heard of it."

Fang Ju shook her head.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Minghan came back from outside and said as soon as he entered the living room: "Mom, Aunt Xue, Uncle Wen and Sister Wen Yue's mother just came back with their marriage certificate."

When Fang Ju and Jiang Li heard this, they looked at each other. Jiang Li asked, "How did you know?"

"Uncle Wen and Sister Wen Yue's mother, Aunt Song, are handing out wedding candies to everyone outside the courtyard!"

Minghan said, showing the wedding candy in his hand: "Aunt Song gave this to me, Aunt Xue, you and my mother are also happy!"

"Okay, mom and your Aunt Xue are both happy with your Uncle Wen's family."

Jiang Li took the wedding candies from Minghan's hand and gave two to Fang Ju.

Minghan: "I'm going back to my room."

"Didn't you say you were going to play ball with your friends before you went out? Why are you back so soon?"

Jiang Li asked with a soft smile.

"not at home."

Minghan felt a little unhappy: "They are not three-year-old children, but they actually like to follow adults to visit relatives."

Jiang Li laughed out loud: "What does age have to do with visiting relatives? Have you forgotten that you followed me and your dad to visit relatives yesterday? We are going to visit your great-grandfather and grandpa tomorrow. Don't you plan to go?" "

"That's different."

Minghan muttered.

"Why is it different?"

Jiang Li smiled and shook his head: "You can't have double standards in life, do you understand?"

"clear."

Minghan puffed up his cheeks and said, "Mom, can I go back to my room now?"

Jiang Li nodded: "Yes."

Fang Ju smiled: "Your Minghan looks like a child!"

"He has a bit of a child's heart."

Jiang Li said, the doting in his eyes undisguised.

Then catch the bugs. . .
