Chapter 154: Didn't Realize the Severity of the Problem

~16 min read 3,118 words

The two rooms of the Meng family were all occupied by the Yuan family.

Yuan Qin, the hostess, was forced to move to the narrow living room, sleeping on the broken mattress brought by the Yuan family on the floor; this was where she slept.

At this moment, the unconscious Yuan Qin was thrown on the broken mattress, and no one cared.

Learning that Meng Jingmo and Meng Guangbai had left with someone and disappeared, the Yuan family was overjoyed.

"Good thing." Yuan Wang Wang Pozi was full of smiles, "It's good that those two dog cubs are sensible, otherwise..."

Dealing with them would take effort!

Disappearing is good, hahaha.

In three or five years, everyone will forget about the Meng family's affairs, the Yuan family will get a house for nothing, plus the money in Yuan Qin's hands, they can live a good life for several years!

Yuan Sister-in-law felt regretful.

It wasn't that she felt sorry for the Meng family's two children, she wanted the two dog cubs to be free nannies for the family.

What a pity.

However.

Yuan Sister-in-law's eyes flashed, and she said: "Mom, Gu Gu Dasao is unconscious, how can she go to work tomorrow, she'll have a day's wages deducted if she doesn't go."

Yuan Wang Wang Pozi felt she was old and should enjoy happiness, so she didn't want to help her unpromising daughter take the shift.

She squinted at her daughter-in-law and said impolitely: "Speak if you have something to say, don't go around in circles."

Yuan Sister-in-law revealed an awkward smile, but her skin was thick, and she said directly: "That, I was thinking, Gu Gu Dasao's situation isn't good for work, I'll take her shift."

Yuan Wang Wang Pozi smiled inexplicably.

Truly greedy enough.

She didn't feel there was anything wrong with this, didn't the plays say... if a person isn't for themselves, heaven will destroy them.

People are all selfish.

Of course, take care of yourself first.

"What about your job?" she asked.

Yuan Sister-in-law had a stomach full of schemes and had already thought it out.

"My Gu Gu Dasao doesn't have a job, let her take my shift for a few days first."

As long as Gu Gu Dasao's job was in her hands, she wanted to take it back... hehe.

Cunning smile. jpg

And her original job, she could sell it to her mother's family; she could get seven or eight hundred yuan.

No matter what, she earned it.

Yuan Wang Wang Pozi saw her daughter-in-law's little thoughts and didn't say anything.

"Can."

Before her daughter-in-law could laugh, she added: "If it really happens, you have to give me 450, if not, forget it!"

Yuan Sister-in-law's face turned green.

Lion opening its mouth.

This was also exactly stepping on her bottom line.

Cunning and money-grubbing old woman.

"Good." She endured the heartache and agreed, planning to raise the price to her mother's family by another 50 yuan.

Total price 850, the old woman took 450, she took 400.

Jobs are hard to come by, Gu Gu Dasao from her mother's family wouldn't be unwilling.

Still earned it!

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, both revealing smiles.

The next day.

Yuan Qin woke up, it was already past work time, she hurriedly got up and was about to go to the factory.

Yuan Wang Wang Pozi heard the movement and opened the bedroom door to come out.

"What are you doing, what are you rushing for? There are steamed buns we left for you on the table, eat first, you didn't eat last night, don't you know you're hungry, what if you faint again."

Yuan Qin was full of panic, the more panicked she was, the more she couldn't put on her shoes: "I'm going to work."

"It's already late." Yuan Wang Wang Pozi said: "Don't rush, your sister-in-law took your shift, it's fine not to go for a day, you look like this, it's easy to have an accident at work, it's better to rest at home for a few days, Jingmo and Guangbai... still have to keep looking."

Fearing to stimulate Yuan Qin, she didn't call them dog cubs today.

Hearing that her sister-in-law took her shift, Yuan Qin didn't think much, and wasn't in a hurry anymore, sat back on the sofa, her eyes red and swollen, her spirit listless.

Thinking of her sons whose whereabouts were unknown, the tears in her eyes couldn't stop.

She covered her face and cried: "Mom, all places that should be searched were searched, where should I go to find Jingmo and Guangbai, were they taken away by human traffickers?"

"How could good children disappear, how am I a mother, what face do I have to see Jiusi in the future."

Flashes of her husband doting on his sons crossed her mind, Yuan Qin felt very guilty, her face burning.

Yuan Wang Wang Pozi sneered in her heart.

Heh.

This daughter of hers is truly stupid, simply not like the one she gave birth to.

But stupid is good, smart ones are hard to fool.

"Don't talk nonsense! Jingmo and Guangbai are smart children, and their fate is good, they couldn't have run into human traffickers." Yuan Wang Wang Pozi comforted hypocritically.

In fact, she thought the same; those two dog cubs were indeed smart, and their fate was good, if their fate wasn't good, they wouldn't have been reincarnated as Meng Jiusi's sons.

The expired ex-son-in-law was unlucky, but it couldn't be denied that he was a capable man, excellent needless to say, and a good person, very filial to her mother-in-law, and good to his wife.

It's a pity his fate was bad.

He was an orphan without parents, finally had a home of his own, and was implicated by Old Man Meng again, everyone shouted to beat him, whether he could live and come back was unknown.

These thoughts flashed through Yuan Wang Wang Pozi's heart.

Not even a splash was made.

The expired ex-son-in-law wasn't worth spending effort on.

Yuan Qin didn't know Yuan Wang Wang Pozi's thoughts, hearing her mother didn't call her two sons dog cubs, she was happy for her sons in her heart.

She wiped her hands and face simply and started eating breakfast.

The steamed buns mentioned as leftovers were actually coarse-grain cornmeal buns.

Yuan Qin often ate this when she was young, but after marrying Meng Jiusi, the man was capable, earned a lot of money, and the family's food was good.

Meng Jiusi was also someone who doted on his wife and children, bringing braised pork, rib soup, etc., from time to time, and even more, taking them to the state-run restaurant to taste fresh food every few days, they had even eaten lamb and beef.

It's hard to go from luxury to frugality.

Eating this coarse grain steamed corn bread again, she wasn't used to it at all.

But she didn't say anything, eating it obediently bite by bite.

"Mom, have you eaten?"

Yuan Wang Wang Pozi wouldn't say they were eating meat buns.

"I don't work, what to eat, wait for the noon meal." She said: "Money is hard to earn, have to buy a job for Jin Bao in the future, and it takes money to marry a wife, if you don't save now, what will happen when Jin Bao grows up."

Yuan Qin couldn't eat anymore.

"Mom, our family has three workers, no matter what, we can afford Jin Bao, don't be too frugal, your body is important."

Yuan Wang Wang Pozi thought exactly this, living to her age, isn't the body important.

Her old face revealed a gratified smile: "Mom knows, Mom listens to you, still the daughter is filial."

Yuan Qin was relieved.

After gnawing on one steamed corn bread, she couldn't eat the other, so she went out to find her two sons.

Jingmo and Guangbai might be throwing a tantrum with her, perhaps they returned to the place they stayed before.

If she found them, she must tell them that the Grandmother family accepted them, let them stop throwing tantrums, and get along well with Jin Bao.

Suffering a little grievance counts for nothing.

In this era, just living is good.

Meng Jingmo & Meng Guangbai: Pfft! Food can be not eaten, grievances absolutely cannot be suffered!

The Meng family's door was closed.

Yuan Wang Wang Pozi's mean face revealed sarcasm.

A few days had passed, it would be strange if they could be found.

Outside.

Others in the family building saw Yuan Qin and treated her as if they didn't see her.

Carried out ignoring to the end.

Even if Yuan Qin took the initiative to greet them, no one was willing to pay attention to her, some aunties thought she was unlucky, sneered, and slammed the door shut.

Yuan Qin's face was burning.

Since she married over, she got along well with everyone, upstairs and downstairs were harmonious, how come now... everyone disliked her.

Yuan Qin's clear face appeared aggrieved and puzzled.

She didn't stay long, running hurriedly toward the old factory building.

The result was naturally not finding them.

Yuan Qin didn't give up, searched everywhere for several consecutive days, even went to report to the police, went to ask the hat comrades every day... if there was any news about the children.

The results were all shaking heads.

At this time, she was completely awake.

She truly, lost her children.

After crying fiercely, Yuan Qin thought of work.

However, it was too late.

Her job had long become Yuan Sister-in-law's.

"... What does that mean?" Yuan Qin's face trembled, her voice desperate.

Yuan Sister-in-law had a look of "I'm doing this for your own good": "Anyway, Gu Gu Dasao has no heart for work, the factory is very dissatisfied with you, I simply took it over."

Yuan Qin opened her mouth, collapsing: "I didn't say I wouldn't work, I just let you take the shift temporarily, how could my job become yours?"

She knew too well the importance of a job.

This was her rice bowl.

"No, I'm going to find the factory office!"

Yuan Sister-in-law wasn't panicked at all, laughing triumphantly: "You finding the factory manager is useless, you gave the job to me, my entry procedures are all done, it's useless for you to find anyone!"

"When did I give it to you..." Yuan Qin was saying, thinking of what her sister-in-law asked her to sign a few days ago, her expression stiffened, her face pale: "Wasn't that a police report form?"

Yuan Sister-in-law revealed a victor's smile.

She didn't expect it to be so smooth either.

She had a new understanding of her Gu Gu Dasao's stupidity.

At the same time, she felt her mother-in-law was truly amazing, raising a good daughter into such a brain-damaged and stupid appearance, truly... too easy to use.

Yuan Qin's heart seemed to suffer a heavy blow.

She grabbed Yuan Wang Wang Pozi's hand fiercely, shrilly: "Mom, that's my job, you can't... do this, I can't be without a job."

Yuan Wang Wang Pozi brushed her hand away, her face full of disgust.

"Don't pull me."

"Your sister-in-law is right, you have no heart for work, it's better to give the job out." Facing Yuan Qin's injured eyes, she said impatiently: "I'm old, I need someone to cook and wash clothes by my side, no job is no job, the family won't starve you to death, your brother and the others don't dislike you eating for free, others want this comfortable life, but don't have this fortune."

What she thought was:

She had a good body, ate everything deliciously, and could run and jump, she didn't need anyone to take care of her.

Can't force people too hard, wait a while, wait a while to find a matchmaker to marry Yuan Qin out.

Once Yuan Qin is married out, after a few years, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs will forget that this was originally the Meng family's house, by then, whether there is a property deed... what does it matter.

Yuan Qin was persuaded again and didn't make a scene.

These affairs of the Yuan family reached Xiang Yunjian's ears, and the lazy young man sneered, evaluating with two words: "Idiot!"

Just as the words fell, the back of his head was slapped by an iron palm.

"Who is it." He turned back impatiently.

Faced his old father's majestic face.

"Full of foul language." The middle-aged man who was over fifty but had a strong build said, seeing his youngest son sitting without a sitting posture, his brows locked.

Knowing that no matter how much he said it would be useless, he simply pretended not to see it.

He sat down, picked up the newspaper on the side, and flipped through it.

Xiang Yunjian curled his lips and got up to go out.

"What are you going for?" The majestic man on the sofa asked deeply.

Xiang Yunjian showed helplessness: "Going out to send a telegram to Chenghuai, do you want to go together?"

"Chenghuai?" The middle-aged man was also a soldier and held a high position, having a deep impression of Gu Chenghuai. On one hand, he was his youngest son's former dormitory comrade, on the other hand, he was a firm-willed, courageous, and excellent soldier.

"Didn't expect you to still be in contact."

Looking at his youngest son, his expression was as disgusted as it could be.

"?"

After Xiang Yunjian saw it, a string of question marks appeared on his forehead.

"What's wrong with me? I have a good relationship with Chenghuai!" He said dissatisfiedly, "Old man, what's with the disgusted expression on your face, speak, answer me, otherwise I'll tell Comrade Jiang you're bullying me!"

Father Yun's expression was absurd.

His brows were wrinkled enough to pinch a fly to death.

"How old are you?"

"Don't care how old I am, you despise me, I'm going to find Mom to complain." Xiang Yunjian was the youngest in the Yun family and was most favored by Comrade Jiang, even Old Yun couldn't compare.

Old Yun had a headache.

He shouldn't have come out.

"What do you want?"

Xiang Yunjian's palms were upward, reaching out to his father: "I want money, one hundred yuan."

Old Yun was speechless to death: "What about your salary?"

"Spent it." Xiang Yunjian said righteously.

Old Yun stared, before he could speak, he heard his prodigal youngest son say: "I bought gifts for Chenghuai's four cubs, only a few coins left in my pocket."

Hearing this.

Old Yun's attention shifted.

"Four cubs?" The Yun Division Commander, who never smiled, had waves appear on his face: "Biological?"

"Otherwise." Xiang Yunjian said.

He knew Chenghuai very well, he wasn't someone with a soft heart, he wouldn't adopt children.

This isn't to say he didn

Back in the military, there were families who already had three or four children, but to show off and gain a good reputation, they would take in other children, only to have their lives descend into a chaotic mess.

At the time, Gu Chenghuai didn't say anything, but Xiang Yunjian could tell... he highly disapproved of this.

He felt the same way.

Raising someone else's child, whether you are lenient or strict, is a problem.

It is a troublesome affair.

Old Comrade Xiang no longer had the heart to read the newspaper; he looked at Xiang Yunjian, "You're over twenty now, aren't you?"

Xiang Yunjian hadn't yet realized the severity of the problem, "Yeah, so what?"

"Someone younger than you... already has four children, and you?" Father Xiang glared, as if possessed by his aunts and uncles, starting his matchmaking mode, "Where is your partner? Why don't you hurry up..."

Xiang Yunjian covered his ears, not even wanting his money anymore, and took off running.

Not listening, not listening, like a turtle chanting sutras.

Goodbye to you!

He ran out of the house, borrowed a few yuan from a childhood friend, went to the post office, and sent a telegram to Gu Chenghuai, explaining the entire situation with the Yuan family.

This trip cost several yuan.

The girl at the post office had never seen anyone like this, sending a telegram as if writing a letter.

She looked at Xiang Yunjian with a strange expression.

Where did this spendthrift come from!

Harvest Brigade.

The twins, having been to the provincial capital, became the most stylish cubs in the whole village again.

Under the banyan tree.

A group of big friends and little friends surrounded Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao, pestering them about things in the provincial capital.

"Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, what are you holding? It looks so fun, can I touch its tail?" Yuan Bao looked at the little golden monkey, his small face excited.

Xiang Yubao was a generous little friend; he hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "You have to be gentle, okay?"

Little Yuan Bao's face turned red with happiness, and he said loudly, "I know!"

He reached out his small hand as if touching some priceless treasure, touched it cautiously, and his voice rang out in surprise, "It's so soft!"

Other children also wanted to touch it, pestering the twins, "Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, I want to touch it too, I'll be gentle."

In the end, everyone got a turn to touch it.

Their movements were all very light.

Seeing the little golden monkey staying obediently on Xiang Yubao's shoulder, the children's eyes turned red with envy.

"Xiang Yubao, does this little monkey have a name?" Mao Dan'er asked.

Xiang Yubao said, "Yes, it's called Xiao Jin."

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin..." the children began to chatter excitedly.

Ye Tie Niu stared at Xiao Jin with glowing eyes and asked, "Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, did your mom and dad buy this monkey? Do they sell little monkeys in the provincial capital?"

If it wasn't expensive, he wanted to ask his mom and dad to buy him one too.

Ye Tie Niu's parents: "..."

Xiang Yubao told his little friends the whole process of how he got Xiao Jin.

"It didn't cost any money?!!"

This made the children even more excited.

"The provincial capital is really great."

At this moment, all the little ones felt a longing for the place called the provincial capital.

While the twins were further cementing their status as the kings of the children, Lin Zhao and Gu Chenghuai arrived at the newly completed courtyard.

Before going to the provincial capital, the house had already been whitewashed.

Lin Zhao walked around every room, smelled that there was no longer any odor, and curled her beautiful black eyes, "It seems there's no smell anymore, can we move back?"
