Chapter 48 Contradictions of the concubine

The other children have already dispersed, leaving only two brothers and sisters in front of him. Although Lu Mengji was distressed by the tassel tree seedlings that had been torn off, he planned to dig a few more seedlings back, but looking at Xiaozhao's painful expression, he had to temporarily throw aside the matter of digging seedlings and carry Xiao Zhao down the mountain.

Although Gangzi has a strong nature, he can't help but follow Lu Mengzhi's soft words all the way, and a few words make everything at home clear.

Only after asking did Lu Mengzhi know that the brother and sister also live in Shita Village, but live at the foot of the mountain, which is still some distance from the Lin family. Lu Mengzhi rarely goes out and naturally has a limited understanding of the people in the village.

Gangzi's parents are honest farmers and work in the field all day long, so the work of taking care of his sister falls directly on Gangzi's head. Usually, the boy was used to ambition. Several friends gathered together and slipped to the mountain behind their parents' back. Looking at a large white cloud-like flowers on the mountain from afar, they climbed up for a moment of curiosity. Unexpectedly, they met Lu Mengzhi.

"Gangzi, why didn't you go to school?" Lu Mengzhi thought of the children in the village who were as old as Gangzi. At this moment, they should be studying in the private school in the village. One couldn't help asking, but when Gangzi, who was originally happy, heard it, immediately darkened.

"My parents said that my family was poor and had no money for me to study, and if I went to study, no one would take care of my sister," Gangzi bowed his head, pinched the corners of his clothes, and couldn't help pouted agging.

"So that's it. Does Gangzi want to read?" Lu Mengji looked at Gangzi's expression with a smile, and his heart was touched. Suddenly, an idea rushed into his mind.

"I think, but," Gangzi hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, the tuition fee of private school is so expensive, and my parents are so tired, I can't let them worry about this anymore."

"If I say that I can help you enter a private school, will you want to go to school?" Gangzi's sensible look made Lu Mengji sad for a while, but she really couldn't guarantee whether her ideas could really help the child.

"You? How can it be!"

"If your sister wants to ask your parents for help and give them money every day so that they can afford you to go to school, okay?" Lu Mengji scratched Gangzi's little nose and winked at him mischievously.

"In this case, I have to ask my father and sister, is what you said true?" Gangzi pulled Lu Mengji in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. My sister's family also lives in the village, and I will definitely not lie to you. Well, look, there are many beautiful flowers on this mountain, aren't they? What my sister wants is these flowers," Lu Mengjian pointed casually and turned to the eye-catching silver flowers on the top of the mountain. "My sister wants to ask Gangzi's parents to help pick those April snow flowers."

"Ha, it turns out that it's just some flowers, and these Gangzi can do it," Gangzi jumped up with a smile, full of uncontrollable excitement. What's the difficulty if he can go to school with just picking some flowers?

"But Gangzi is still a child, and the work can only be done by adults. What about you, you are only responsible for being happy every day and going to school to read good books, okay?"

Such a good thing is naturally for Gangzi. Now he can't wait to step into his home at the foot of the mountain and announce such great good news to his parents.

Finally, he reached the foot of the mountain. Xiao Zhao had already lay on Lu Mengjian's shoulder and fell asleep. Lu Mengjian had to follow Gangzi's house. But when he saw the hut that was simpler than the house he lived in now, he couldn't help feeling sad. Unexpectedly, this family was so poor. Only two children are so sensible. However, despite this, the house was still cleaned up. It can be seen that although the owner's family is poor, it is not a sloppy person. In this way, Lu Mengjie wants to entrust them to help pick it, but it is more reassuring.

After talking to Gangzi about the work, Lu Mengjian hurriedly returned home with the tassel sapling. Because he directly carried the sapling in his hand all the way, the root of the tree was exposed to the air, and it was inevitable to scratch. However, fortunately, the main root is still sound, and there is still a way to survive in the soil, but the grafting can only be postponed.

It's just that the "April Snow" flowering period is limited. It would be best to pick the flowers before the end of the flowering period.

According to the meaning of Brother Liu, a blacksmith, because of what happened that day, making the distiller has long been the top priority of the iron shop. It is presumably that in two days, the distiller that has been carefully designed by himself will definitely be able to be molded.

Although Aunt Li picked a basket of azaleas, the azaleas were only bright in color, but the fragrance was almost nothing. Lu Mengjian thought about it and put them aside and prepared to use them for other purposes.

In this way, the "April Snow" can be used to test the role of the distiller.

However, until noon the next day, Gangzi's father did not show up, which made Lu Mengji worried.

In April, the snow seedlings were planted in the courtyard, and it seemed a little wilt the next day. It must be too different from the mountain environment, and it was inevitable that some water and soil were unconvinced. Lu Mengji was anxious, but he was still helpless, so he had to water enough water and let everything take its course.

However, when Lin Daimo saw the blooming "April Snow", she changed her face in an instant and scolded Lu Mengji. It was just because she heard the villagers mention that there were beasts on the mountain, and she was strictly forbidden to go to the mountain alone. The tone of hatred completely subverted the indifferent image he usually tried to maintain.

Lu Mengqi was reprimanded for nothing and was full of grievance. It can be seen that Lin Daimo was still in a hurry to get angry, but it was inevitable that there was another lawsuit. Although Lin Daimo's words are more choking than onions, Lu Mengjian has a faint sweetness in his heart. At least, there are still people in the world who care about her safety.

For several consecutive days, Aunt Li didn't come back until dark. Li Dazhuang's married second sister went home once. The Li's mother was simply happier than the Spring Festival. She not only served deliciously every day, but also afraid that her daughter would be lonely. She called her daughter-in-law to talk to her second sister every day.

But there are three daughters-in-law of the Li family. The third family lives in the city and rarely goes home on weekdays. I heard that the second sister came home, but after seeing it, she returned to the city. Although the old man also lived in this village, the eldest daughter-in-law's family was rich, and she packed several boxes for the dowry alone. Naturally, the Li family did not dare to neglect.

The Li Dazhuang family was sandwiched in the middle. There was an old lady of the Li family who didn't like it, and there was a contempt for her. Every time she returned to the Li family, she was like entering the Yanluo Hall. She always had to be careful, but from time she would still touch the dragon scales. If it hadn't been for the second sister's return, Li Dazhuang tried his best to persuade him not to pay his mother's face, and Aunt Li was definitely unwilling to go.

Besides, she was busy in the Li family all day, but her son couldn't eat a full meal. Thinking of this, Aunt Li was reluctant.

On this day, Lu Mengjian was looking forward to Gangzi's parents to appear, but she saw Aunt Li coming in with red eyes, holding Zhong'er, who was constantly wiping her eyes.

"Aunt Li, what's wrong with you two?" Lu Mengjian saw that the situation was not good. He quickly invited them into the room and sat down, and stilled a pot of tea. Zhong'er still snuggled up to his mother and choked from time to time.

"Zhong'er, come and eat fast cakes," Lu Mengji took out the dessert he bought from the city, took out a piece and put it in Zhong'er's mouth, and pulled Zhong'er into his arms. When the child saw the dessert, he threw those grievances away, chewed the pastry in his mouth, and gradually stopped crying.

"Aunuch, take a sip of water to calm down," it was hard to deal with the child, but the adults over there could not relieve their anger with a few snacks. Lu Mengjian rarely encountered this situation, and he was not a psychologist. At present, he didn't know what to do, so he had to sit quietly and look at Aunt Li's face.

"Oh, Meng Jian, why do you think my life is so bitter?" Aunt Li slowed down for a long time before she said a sentence. When Lu Mengji heard this, he probably knew that it was related to the Li family, so he patted Zhonger and stuffed the honey in the plate into Zhonger's hand. "Zhong'er is obedient. Go outside to see if there are any ants by the wall first. Can you talk to your sister and your mother?"

Zhong'er happily took the honey food, agreed, and ran out happily.

"Aunuch, it's not easy to say these words in front of the child. I just ate them for Zhong'er, and let's try them. This is the food I brought back from the city yesterday. It tastes sweet," Lu Mengjian said and stuffed the honey into Aunt Li's hand.

"The light is also full of anger. How can I be in the mood to eat these? If it goes on like this, my stomach will explode directly one day." Aunt Li just hindered Zhong'er's presence and tried her tears, which finally flowed out.

"Originally, we all felt happy when my sister-in-law came back. We haven't seen each other for several years. It's right to be closer this time. However, my mother-in-law is really... She is the elder of the family. I can't say anything about treating our two mothers like this, but I really don't like it. She usually shouts like that, but Seeing the sister-in-law, she saw a cat like a mouse. Sister-in-law just has a few stinky money at home," Aunt Li became more and more angry, and her hands trembled with anger.

"It's not that you don't know their character. Why are you angry with such people? It's too unworthless," Lu Mengji continued to fill the tea and whispered a gentle persuasion.

"I understand what you said, but they are too bullying. Although my Zhong'er is sometimes a little naughty, at least she is a child with general etiquette. But today, the woman has to ask Zhong'er to bring water to my sister-in-law. It's boiling water. We adults have to measure it, let alone a child. As a result, Zhong'er couldn't hold it and accidentally broke the bowl. She didn't ask. Zhonger was not burned. She turned around and cursed. If my sister-in-law hadn't stopped her, she would have slapped her already.

Lu Mengjian has never been interested in these parents' short competition. It can be seen that Aunt Li is still a little unbearable. Thinking of the TV series about the disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law she has seen before, now she has a deeper understanding of it.

"Aunuch Li, in my opinion, since everyone has torn their faces, I'm afraid it's inevitable that we will be a little uncomfortable to meet again in the future. It's better to cut off the relationship," Lu Mengjian said bluntly, and Aunt Li shook her head repeatedly after listening to this.

"Meng Jian, you haven't experienced it and won't understand."
