Chapter 161: Brain Gone Limp
Everyone wants an easy job that pays well, and both became enthusiastic about Shen Meng at once.
"Brother, elder sister-in-law, you and the kids must be starving, right? How about I go back and dish up some food, and we can all eat together?"
"Ming Kai and Ming Liang want candy, right? I’ll go back and get some, and be right back, right back."
The two of them said they were leaving, but they hesitated to take steps, afraid that the other would stay and sprinkle some crocodile tears to soften Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng’s hearts.
"It’s fine, it’s fine. Delivering it later works too. Ming Liang, Ming Kai, go play over there. What are you crowding around here for? Always thinking about eating and not understanding anything. What are you standing around for, Mingyang? Take the basket and take your brother to pick up some firewood. And you, Ni, what are you staring at? Lead Ming Kai away. Don’t act all affectionate when you see your aunts, pretending to be pitiful. Go stay inside the house."
Shen Meng finished scolding the children and then looked impatiently at Lu Zhenping, the tool man. The latter sighed and led Mingyang out without daring to let out a peep.
This familiar sight let Lu Miaomiao and Lu Lanhua know that in the brother’s family, it was the elder sister-in-law who called the shots.
Shen Meng fiercely glared at everyone in the house—men and children alike—but thought to herself that her own family was well-fed, and eating more might just make them sick. It would be better to go out and get some fresh air early on.
"Sorry to have made you watch that, Miaomiao, Lanhua. Come, come, sit down. Let’s have a chat. I was feeling hungry just now, but when it comes to work, I really feel energized."
Lu Lanhua blinked her eyes and held Shen Meng’s hand, saying, "Elder sister-in-law, I’m so happy for you that you have a job. You’ll be holding an iron rice bowl from now on. Miaomiao and I live in town, and there are a few things that I must remind you about. Don’t be annoyed, elder sister-in-law, I mean well. The city is nothing like the countryside. People there have quite the temper, and they can get angry and quarrel at the slightest disagreement. You must be careful when you go to work."
