The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 156 "Failed to Realize the Seriousness of the Problem"

The Yuan family occupied both of the Meng family's houses.

Yuan Qin, the mistress of the house, was forced to move to the cramped living room, where she slept on a tattered mattress brought by the Yuan family.

At this moment, the unconscious Yuan Qin was left on a tattered mattress, and no one paid any attention to her.

The Yuan family was overjoyed to learn that Meng Jingmo and Meng Guangbai had left with someone and gone missing.

"That's great!" Old Mrs. Yuan said with a smile. "Those two bastards are smart enough to know what's good for them, otherwise..."

Dealing with them will take some effort!
It's good that they've disappeared, hahaha.

In three to five years, everyone will forget about the Meng family. The Yuan family will get a house for free, and with the money in Yuan Qin's hands, they can live a good life for several years!
Yuan's sister-in-law felt sorry.

It wasn't that she felt sorry for the two Meng children; she just wanted those two bastards to be her family's free babysitters.

Pity.

but.

Yuan's sister-in-law's eyes flashed, and she said, "Mom, my sister-in-law is unconscious. How is she going to work tomorrow? If she doesn't go to work, she'll lose a day's wages."

Old Mrs. Yuan felt that she was getting on in years and should enjoy her retirement, and had no intention of helping her good-for-nothing daughter take over her job.

She glanced at her daughter-in-law and said bluntly, "Speak your mind, don't beat around the bush."

Yuan's sister-in-law gave an awkward smile, but she was thick-skinned and said directly, "Well, I was thinking that since my sister-in-law's condition isn't good for her to go to work, I'll go and cover for her."

Old Mrs. Yuan gave a cryptic smile.

That's incredibly greedy.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it; the play says... if a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth.

People are selfish.

Of course, I'll take care of myself first.

"What about your work?" she asked.

Sister-in-law Yuan was cunning and had already planned it out.

“My sister-in-law isn’t unemployed, so let her cover for me for a few days.”

Once Yuan Qin's job is in her hands, she wants it back... Heh.

Sly smile.jpg
She could sell her original job to her family and get seven or eight hundred yuan for it.

Either way, she's the one who profits.

Old Mrs. Yuan saw through her daughter-in-law's little scheme but said nothing.

"can."

Before her daughter-in-law could even smile, she added, "If it really works out, you have to give me 450. If not, then forget it!"

Yuan's sister-in-law turned green.

The lion opened its mouth wide.

This just happened to cross her bottom line.

A cunning and greedy old woman.

"Okay." She reluctantly agreed, intending to raise the price she quoted to her family by 50 yuan.

The total price was 850, the old lady got 450, and she got 400.

The job is rare, and my sister-in-law from my maternal family wouldn't refuse.

Still making money!

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled.

The next day.

When Yuan Qin woke up, it was long past her work hours. She hurriedly got up and headed to the factory.

Hearing the noise, Old Lady Yuan opened the door and came out.

"What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry? There are steamed buns we left for you on the table. Eat them first. You didn't eat anything last night. Don't you know you're hungry? What if you faint again?"

Yuan Qin looked flustered, and the more flustered she became, the harder it was for her to put on her shoes. "I'm going to work."

“It’s too late,” said Old Mrs. Yuan. “Don’t worry, your sister-in-law went in your place. It’s okay if you don’t go for a day. You’re more likely to get into trouble at work in this state. You should rest at home for a few days. As for Jingmo and Guangbai… we still need to keep looking.”

To avoid upsetting Yuan Qin, she didn't call him "dog cub" today.

Upon hearing that her younger brother and sister-in-law were taking over her work, Yuan Qin didn't think much of it and wasn't in a hurry. She sat back on the sofa, her eyes red and swollen, looking listless.

Thinking of her missing son, she couldn't stop the tears from welling up in her eyes.

She covered her face and cried, "Mom, we've searched everywhere we can, where am I supposed to find Jingmo and Guangbai? Were they taken away by human traffickers?"

"How could my perfectly healthy child just disappear? What kind of mother am I? How can I face Jiusi in the future?"

The image of her husband doting on their son flashed through her mind, and Yuan Qin felt guilty, her face burning with embarrassment.

Old Mrs. Yuan gave a slightly sarcastic remark.

Ah.

Her daughter is so stupid, she's not like her at all.

However, it's better to be a little naive; shrewd people are harder to fool.

"Don't talk nonsense! Jingmo and Guangbai are smart kids, and they're lucky. It's impossible for them to run into human traffickers," Old Mrs. Yuan said, offering a hypocritical consolation.

In fact, that's what she thought too. Those two brats were indeed smart and lucky. If they weren't lucky, they wouldn't have been born as Meng Jiusi's sons.

The former son-in-law was unlucky, but it cannot be denied that he was a capable man. His excellence goes without saying, and he was a good person. He was very filial to his mother-in-law and good to his wife.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky.

He was an orphan with no parents. He finally had a home of his own, but he was implicated by Old Master Meng and everyone wanted to kill him. He didn't even know if he would come back alive.

These thoughts flashed through Old Lady Yuan's mind.

Not even a ripple appeared.

An expired son-in-law is not worth the effort.

Yuan Qin didn't know what Old Lady Yuan was thinking, but when she heard that her mother hadn't called her two sons "bastards," she was happy for them.

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

The steamed buns they said were kept were actually coarse grain cornbread.

Yuan Qin often ate this when she was a child. After she married Meng Jiusi, her husband was capable, earned a lot of money, and the family had good food.

Meng Jiusi was a doting husband and father. He would often bring them braised pork, pork rib soup, or other special dishes. He would even take them to state-run restaurants every few days to try new things, such as lamb and beef.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

She was not used to eating coarse grain cornbread anymore.

But he didn't say anything and obediently ate it bite by bite.

"Mom, have you eaten?"

Old Mrs. Yuan would never say that they ate meat buns.

“I don’t work, so what am I going to eat? I’ll just wait for lunch,” she said. “Money is hard to earn. I’ll have to buy Jinbao a job in the future, and we need money to get him married. If I don’t save now, what will happen to Jinbao when he grows up?”

Yuan Qin suddenly couldn't eat anymore.

"Mom, we have three workers in our family, we can definitely afford to support Jinbao. Don't be too frugal, your health is important."

That's what Old Mrs. Yuan thought; at her age, health is the most important thing.

A relieved smile appeared on the old woman's face. "Mom knows, Mom will listen to you. Your daughter is the most filial."

Yuan Qin felt relieved.

After finishing one cornbread, she couldn't eat another, so she went out to find her two sons.

Jingmo and Guangbai might be sulking with her, or perhaps they've gone back to where they used to be.

If she finds them, she must tell them that her maternal grandparents have accepted them, and that they should stop being temperamental and get along well with Jinbao.

Suffering a little injustice is nothing.

These days, just being alive is good enough.

Meng Jingmo & Meng Guangbai: Bah! We can skip meals, but we absolutely cannot suffer injustice!
The door to the Meng family's house was closed.

A sarcastic expression appeared on Old Lady Yuan's mean face.

Several days have passed; it's no wonder they can't find it.

Outside.

Everyone else in the family building pretended not to see Yuan Qin.

We will continue to ignore it to the end.

Even when Yuan Qin took the initiative to greet her, no one was willing to pay attention to her. Some older women thought she was unlucky, sneered, and slammed the door shut.

Yuan Qin's face burned.

Since marrying into the family, she has gotten along well with everyone, and was friendly with everyone upstairs and downstairs. How come now... everyone dislikes her?

Yuan Qin's delicate face showed a look of grievance and confusion.

She didn't linger and hurried towards the old factory building.

The result, of course, was that they couldn't find it.

Yuan Qin didn't give up. She searched everywhere for several days in a row, even reported it to the police, and asked Comrade Maozi every day if there was any news about the child.

The result was always a shake of the head.

At that moment, she became fully awake.

She really did lose her child. After a good cry, Yuan Qin remembered to go to work.

But it was too late.

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

"...What do you mean?" Yuan Qin's face trembled, her voice filled with despair.

Yuan's sister-in-law acted as if she was doing this for your own good, saying, "Anyway, your older sister isn't in the mood to work, and the factory is very dissatisfied with you, so I just took on the role."

Yuan Qin opened her mouth, then broke down and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't go to work! I just asked you to temporarily cover for me. How did my job become yours?"

She knew all too well the importance of her work.

This is her livelihood.

"No, I need to go to the factory office!"

Yuan's sister-in-law remained unfazed, laughing smugly, "It's no use you going to the factory manager. You gave me this job, and I've already completed all the onboarding procedures. It's no use you going to talk to anyone else!"

“When did I give it to you…” Yuan Qin was speaking when she remembered something her sister-in-law had made her sign a few days ago. Her expression stiffened and her face turned pale. “Wasn’t that a police report form?”

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

She hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

I have gained a new understanding of my sister-in-law's stupidity.

At the same time, I think my mother-in-law is really amazing. She raised such a good daughter to be so brainless and stupid. She's really... so useful.

Yuan Qin felt as if she had been struck a heavy blow.

She suddenly grabbed Old Mrs. Yuan's hand and cried out, "Mom, that's my job! You can't...you can't do this! I can't live without a job!"

Old Mrs. Yuan brushed her hand away, her face full of disgust.

"Don't pull me."

“Your sister-in-law is right. If you’re not interested in working, you might as well give up your job.” Meeting Yuan Qin’s hurt eyes, she said impatiently, “I’m getting old and need someone to cook and do laundry. If you don’t have a job, you don’t have a job. Your family won’t starve. Your brother and his family don’t mind that you’re eating for free. Others want this kind of comfortable life, but they don’t have this kind of luck.”

What I was thinking was:
She's in good health, eats everything with gusto, and can run and jump all the time, so she doesn't need anyone to take care of her.

We can't push people too hard. Let's wait a while, then find a matchmaker to marry Yuan Qin off.

Once Yuan Qin gets married and a few years pass, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs will forget that this was originally a matter concerning the Meng family's house. At that time, what does it matter whether there is a property deed or not?

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

When news of these events involving the Yuan family reached Yun Jian's ears, the lazy young man scoffed and commented with two words: "Fools!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head with an iron hand.

"Who is it?" he asked impatiently, turning around.

He was facing his father's stern face.

"He's swearing all the time." The middle-aged man, who was in his fifties but had a robust build, frowned as he saw his youngest son sitting improperly.

Knowing that saying anything is useless, I simply pretended not to see it.

He sat down, picked up the newspaper next to him, and started reading.

Yun Jian pursed his lips, got up, and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" the imposing man on the sofa asked in a deep voice.

Yun Jian looked helpless. "Going out to send a telegram to Cheng Huai, do you want to come along?"

"Cheng Huai?" The middle-aged man was also a soldier, and in a high position. He had a deep impression of Gu Cheng Huai. On the one hand, he was his youngest son's comrade-in-arms in the past, and on the other hand, he was a soldier with a firm will and outstanding courage.

"I didn't expect you two were still in contact."

Looking at his youngest son, his expression was one of utter disdain.

"?"

After Yun Jian realized it, a series of question marks appeared on his forehead.

"What's wrong with me? Cheng Huai and I are on good terms!" he said discontentedly. "Old man, what's with that disgusted look on your face? Speak up, answer me, or I'll tell Comrade Jiang you're bullying me!"

Cloud Dad's expression was absurd.

His brows were so furrowed they could trap a fly.

"how old are you?"

"What do you care how old I am? If you look down on me, I'll go tell Mom." Yun Jian is the youngest in the Yun family and is the most favored by Madam Jiang, even more so than Old Yun.

Old Yun has a headache.

He shouldn't have come out.

"What do you want?"

Yun Jian held out his hand to his father with his palm facing up, "I want money, one hundred yuan."

Comrade Lao Yun was speechless. "Where's your salary?"

"The money's all gone," Yun Jian said matter-of-factly.

Old Yun glared, but before he could say anything, his spendthrift youngest son said, "I bought gifts for Cheng Huai's four sons, and I only have a few coins left in my pocket."

Hear the words.

Comrade Lao Yun's attention has shifted.

"Four sons?" A flicker of emotion crossed the usually stern face of Commander Yun. "By their own?"

“Otherwise what?” Yun Jian said.

He knows Cheng Huai well; he's not a kind-hearted person who would adopt a child.

This is not to say that he lacks compassion. He is a soldier who protects his country and has great love in his heart. However, he is rational and clear-headed enough to know that adopting a child is not a trivial matter and would increase the burden on his wife. He would rather provide financial support.

Back in the military, some people already had three or four children. In order to perform well and gain a good reputation, they would bring their children back home, and their lives became a complete mess.

At the time, Cheng Huai didn't say anything, but Yun Jian could tell that... he strongly disagreed with it.

He thought so too.

Raising someone else's child, whether to be too lenient or too strict, is always a problem.

It's a troublesome matter.

Old Yun lost interest in reading the newspaper and looked at Yun Jian, saying, "You're over twenty now, aren't you?"

Yun Jian hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem. "Yeah, so what?"

“She’s younger than you… and she already has four kids. What about you?” Mr. Yun glared, as if possessed by a multitude of aunts and uncles, unleashing his marriage-urging mode. “Where’s your partner? What are you waiting for…”

Yun Jian covered his ears, abandoned the money, and ran away.

Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard chants sutras.

Goodbye!
He ran out of his house, borrowed a few dollars from his childhood friend, went to the post office, and sent a telegram to Gu Chenghuai, telling him about the Yuan family's situation.

This trip cost several dollars.

The girl at the post office had never seen anyone like this before, sending telegrams as if they were writing letters.

He looked at Yun Jian with a strange expression.

Where did this spendthrift come from!
Harvest Brigade.

The twins, who had been to the provincial capital, became the most handsome boys in the whole village.

Under the banyan tree.

A group of adults and children surrounded Yu Bao and Heng Bao, asking them about things in the provincial capital.

"Yu Bao, Heng Bao, what are you holding? It looks so cute! Can I touch its tail?" Yuan Bao looked at the little golden monkey with excitement on his face.

Yu Bao is a generous child. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Be gentle."

Little Yuanbao's face flushed with joy as he exclaimed, "I know!"

He reached out his little hand, as if touching something priceless, and carefully touched it. Then, his voice rang out in surprise, "It's so soft!"

Other children also wanted to touch it, clinging to the twins, "Yu Bao, Heng Bao, I want to touch it too, I'll be gentle."

Finally, everyone got to touch it.

The movements were very gentle.

Seeing the little golden monkey nestled obediently on Yu Bao's shoulder, the children's eyes welled up with envy.

"Yu Bao, does this little monkey have a name?" Cat Egg asked.

Yu Bao said, "Yes, it's called Xiao Jin."

"Little Jin, Little Jin..." the children called out excitedly.

Tie Niu stared at Xiao Jin with shining eyes and asked, "Yu Bao, Heng Bao, did your parents buy this monkey? Are there still baby monkeys for sale in the provincial capital?"

If it's not too expensive, he wants his parents to buy him one too.

Tie Niu's parents: "..."

Yu Bao told his friends the whole story of how he got Xiao Jin.

"You didn't spend any money?!"

This excited the children even more.

"The provincial capital is really nice."

At that moment, all the little ones longed for the provincial capital.

As the twins further solidified their position as the king of the kids, Lin Zhao and Gu Chenghuai arrived at the newly built courtyard.

Before we went to the provincial capital, the house had already been plastered white.

Lin Zhao walked around each room, and finding that the smell was almost gone, she smiled and asked with her beautiful dark eyes, "It seems like there's no smell anymore, can we move back now?"
