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

Chapter 206 "Deserves a Little Red Flower"

Later——

After Gu Xing'er married into the Zhang family, she lived in a cramped and cramped house, without a job or money. Her in-laws disliked her, her sisters-in-law despised her, and her husband ignored her. Only then did she realize her regret.

But it was too late for regrets!
Later, Zhang Xuejun accidentally learned that Gu Xing'er had severed ties with her family and had a strained relationship with her third brother's family, who was an officer. He thought she was a fool, that all the affection he had for her from when they were in school was gone, and that she was a complete idiot.

At first, they disliked Gu Xing'er for being a freeloader, then they complained that she couldn't do anything, didn't know how to please her in-laws, and didn't get along with the neighbors... They found fault with her in every way.

Gu Xing'er was not someone to be trifled with. She cursed rudely and even tried to hit the man, but little did she know that Zhang Xuejun was not one of the Gu family members and would not tolerate her. He slapped her back on the spot.

Zhang Xuejun vented all the gloom in his heart on her, punching and kicking her mercilessly.

After calming down.

Looking at Gu Xing'er's bruised and swollen face, he felt not only no pity, but also a sense of relief and satisfaction.

From then on, Gu Xing'er's good days came to an end, and she was always covered in injuries.

She considered divorce, but Zhang Xuejun refused, fearing his wife would gossip, so he locked Gu Xing'er up.

If you don't work, you won't get food, and you'll be beaten.

Gu Xing'er looked down on her relatives in the countryside and didn't even return to her parents' home after marrying into the Zhang family. The Gu family, not wanting to be snubbed, didn't visit her.

By the time they learned of Gu Xing'er's whereabouts, she had already lost her mind and was hiding from people.

This happened later.

……

The day after Chief Ning returned to the Ning family, he met Meng Jiusi at the foot of the mountain.

He was followed by bodyguards and county leaders, a total of four people.

These people have a strong presence; they look like leaders.

Their arrival disturbed the peaceful lives of those receiving education at the foot of the mountain.

The adults were able to remain calm, but the little girl named Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she trembled and tears streamed down her face. She didn't dare to make a sound and clung tightly to her mother.

"Mom, I'm afraid..."

Seeing this, Chief Ning waved his hand and said to the little girl's mother, Tian Ruo, "This has nothing to do with you. Take the child back inside."

Tian Ruo relaxed, thanked them, glanced at Meng Jiusi and the others, picked up Xiaoxiao and went back into the house.

These people have been in Fengshou Brigade for several months and have gradually adapted to life here. Some of them have received letters from close relatives and learned about the situation outside, realizing that their situation is relatively good.

The group was easygoing and worked diligently, doing whatever the team leader asked them to do, and were very cooperative.

This made things easier for the production team. They no longer saw them as a nuisance, but rather as a few extra laborers in the village. What they used to find annoying now seemed... alright.

Only the Meng family grandfather and grandson, Meng Jingmo and Meng Guangbai remained in the courtyard.

Meng Jingmo held her father's hand tightly, looking at the people in front of her with eyes like a startled wolf cub, alert and fierce.

Upon seeing this, Meng Jiusi ruffled his eldest son's hair, took half a step forward, and stood in front of his two sons.

Ning Mingde sensed something and said, "Don't be nervous, we're here because of the medicine Comrade Meng sent out."

Old Master Meng guessed it.

Jiu Si had told him about this.

A shrewd glint flashed in his wise old eyes as he stroked his newly grown beard, remaining quite calm. "It seems the medicine is working well."

Ning Mingde nodded.

"That's good, let's find out more..."

Meng Jiusi was a doctor, and a kind-hearted one at that. He had no selfish motives and had already handed over the prescription.

He couldn't think of anyone else who came here except to learn about Tie Gu Ji's situation.

then.

Meng Jiusi asked directly, "You've come to see the Iron-Bone Herb?"

His words carried a certain certainty.

"Yes." Ning Mingde had nothing to hide.

"You can't see it during the day, you can only see it at night." Meng Jiusi's face showed a faint apology as he explained the characteristics of the Iron-Boneed Herb with a clear and serious attitude.

After that, he talked about its origin.

He did not take credit for Lin Zhao's work, but stated directly that the medicinal herb seeds came from Lin Zhao.

He didn't mention his relationship with Lin Zhao, only saying that when Lin Zhao learned he was a doctor, she asked him to help cultivate medicinal herbs, while secretly praising her sister for being kind, righteous, and compassionate, deserving of an award.

The Meng family, grandfather and grandson, were highly skilled doctors. Many people in the village secretly sought their medical help because it was inexpensive and effective. Their plaster for treating joint pain was especially effective; you could apply it wherever it hurt and it was very popular.

It's fine for him to mention Lin Zhao directly; the law doesn't punish the masses.

Commander Ning has gained a preliminary understanding of the situation.

"Comrade Lin is a good comrade, I will report it to my superiors."

Meng Jiusi smiled.

Yes, his sister deserves a little red flower.

A slight sound came from outside the gate. Ning Mingde looked over and met a pair of bright and clear phoenix eyes. It was Mao Dan'er. Beside him were the Gu family's twins, the village chief's grandson, and that little guy named Yuanbao.

Everyone came to see what was going on.

The man's sharp eyes softened instantly, and his entire face became gentle.

Cat Egg looked away uncomfortably, its ears burning.

"Yu Bao, Heng Bao... let's go." He said to the twins, avoiding the adults' gaze.

Hengbao is incredibly bold and has a natural air of arrogance. He's not afraid of being seen by adults and even greets them with a bright smile.

He said, "It's okay. The uncles didn't chase us away, which means we can listen. Let's keep our voices down."

After he finished speaking, he stuck his head out again, eavesdropping like a thief trying to cover his ears.

Cat Egg: "..."

"Aren't you embarrassed?"

"No." Hengbao had a look on his face that said, "How could you think that way?" My mom said that as long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Cat Egg was speechless once again.

He also felt that Aunt Lin's teachings must be correct, and that his embarrassment must be his own fault; he was overthinking things!

After figuring things out for myself, I no longer felt awkward and looked over with a calm expression.

Then they saw that the adults were no longer paying attention to them and were concentrating on their business.

Ning Mingde withdrew his gaze and looked at Meng Jiusui. "And you? You've made such a great contribution, what are your requests?"

Meng Jiusi was slightly taken aback.

Is it possible to return to a normal life?
Knowing that this was deliberately making things difficult for him, he didn't mention it.

After thinking for a moment, she said sincerely, "I want to relieve my grandfather from the heavy farm work, is that okay? My grandfather is old, I can do it for him."

Meng Jingmo stepped forward, "I can do it too!"

Little White didn't say anything, but simply raised her little hand to indicate that she could do it too.

Grandpa Meng's heart, which had been hurt by his children and grandchildren, softened instantly, as if his parents had stuffed malt candy into his mouth when he was a child, making him feel sweet and content.

Just as he was about to say something, Ning Mingde responded, "Okay."

What is there that cannot be granted when a comrade who has made great contributions only makes this small request?

He even wanted to get the two Mengs to the military hospital. With such good medical skills, it would be a waste for them to raise pigs and do farm work!
Whether the matter can be settled is still uncertain, so Chief Ning did not mention it for the time being, lest people get excited for nothing.

……

At that moment, the county commune secretary received a document. He stood up abruptly and led his men to the Fengshou Brigade.

He was just worried about not finding an opportunity to get closer to those people, and now... the opportunity has come knocking on his door!

They hopped on their bicycles, followed by their clerks, and the group hurriedly left the office.

The commune secretary was a high-ranking official, in charge of more than a dozen production brigades, and wielded considerable power.

When the brigade leader learned that the secretary was coming, he was terrified and rushed over as if he had wheels of fire on his feet.

"secretary!"

The commune secretary cut to the chase, "Are Commander Ning and the others still here?"

"Yes, yes, yes, at the foot of the mountain. They're questioning the Meng family members," the captain answered honestly.

“Go and take a look,” the commune secretary said.

The captain led the way.

After the commune leaders arrived, the Harvest Brigade became even more lively, with the members speculating about the reason for their visit. "Wow, our brigade is really bustling today! People from the Armed Forces Department and the government building came, and now the commune secretary—that's the commune secretary, the big shot in charge of our brigade! I wonder what he's here for..."

"They went up the mountain!"

"They came for those people at the foot of the mountain. Could it be that those people did something to undermine unity?!"

"Go and see?"

"I don't dare, the brigade leader will get angry. You go if you want, I want to go home and eat sweet potatoes."

"Eat, eat, eat! Eat until you're stuffed! So many leaders, if you don't look at them today, when will you?"

As they talked, they started arguing.

Lin Zhao rode his bike back and overheard a bit of what was going on. He learned that a lot of people had gone to the foot of the mountain, and they were all commune leaders. Without thinking twice, he rode his bike towards the foot of the mountain and saw Bangbang when he got close.

"Bangbang, help me push my bicycle back."

After shouting, they rushed towards their destination.

Bangbang knew that his third aunt was eager to see the excitement, so he gave the firewood he had collected to his good friend and pushed his bicycle back to his third uncle's house.

With Big Yellow around and the village full of people, no one dared to climb the wall to steal anything, so the gate was simply locked.

The boy carrying firewood opened the door.

Bangbang pushed the cart into the yard. Dahuang stood up, saw that it was an acquaintance, and then squatted back down.

Amber is very lively, barking at people.

Bangbang played with Amber for two minutes, then found a rag on the windowsill outside the kitchen, soaked it in water, and used it to wipe the bicycle.

The boy who had finished putting away the firewood came over and squatted down to look at the bicycle.

"Can I touch it?" he asked Bangbang, looking forward to it.

"Go ahead and touch it," Bangbang said generously. "My third aunt said it won't hurt."

The boy gently touched it, quite satisfied.

"Your third aunt is so kind."

Bangbang was quite pleased with himself. He carefully wiped the dust off the bicycle, even polishing the wheels until they shone.

For Bangbang, wiping bicycles is a very enjoyable thing. When Lin Zhao was still living in the old house, he would bring a basin of water to her as soon as she got off work.

The boy watched Bangbang's movements with great envy.

……

Lin Zhao arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw a string of dark backs of heads outside the dilapidated courtyard.

The twins were inside.

No wonder the door was locked from the outside; it turns out everything was here.

Qianbao and Yaobao are at the old house.

"Yu Bao, Heng Bao," she called out.

Two identical little faces turned around at the same time, revealing joy.

“Mom!” Hengbao called out loudly.

Lin Zhao responded and walked through the gate into the courtyard.

The twins exchanged a glance and quietly followed. Cat Egg and the others saw that the two of them had gone inside, so they also entered the courtyard.

This made the already small courtyard look even more cramped.

No one spoke in the courtyard.

Grandpa Meng stood there, holding a piece of paper in his hand, his body trembling.

"Grandpa," Meng Jiusi said, supporting her grandfather with a worried look in her eyes, "Are you alright?"

Grandpa Meng stared at the document in his hand. The paper was light and flimsy, with only a few lines of text, yet it made him feel completely relaxed.

He had a feeling it wasn't real.

Hearing his grandson's words, he slowly came back to his senses.

He looked up at Meng Jiusi, his eyes filled with hope.

He almost held his breath as he asked, "Jiusi, what does this document mean...?"

Is he really not getting old and his eyesight is failing?!

Grandpa Meng felt his eyes were sore.

Meng Jiusi looked at her grandfather, nodded solemnly, and her eyes glistened with tears. "Grandpa, you didn't see wrong, our family... is alright!"

He spoke with conviction and force.

Meng Jiusi had always known that this day would come for the Meng family sooner or later.
His grandfather was a great philanthropist who never did anything wrong in his life. On the contrary, he saved lives, helped the weak, and was an exceptionally good person.

Why should good people end up like this?

See? The good fortune accumulated by the Meng family generation after generation has finally come into play!

Upon hearing his fourth brother's words, Lin Zhao's face lit up with joy. He stepped forward and glanced at the paper in Old Master Meng's hand. The paper had a red seal, and the red characters represented an incredibly large organization.

It's true!!
She smiled brightly.

"Congratulations, fourth brother."

"Congratulations to Grandpa Meng as well."

Meng Jiusi glanced at the people in the courtyard, and her expression changed slightly.

He was afraid that things might change and implicate his sister.

He shook his head at Lin Zhao, his eyes showing disapproval.

Lin Zhao smiled and looked at Ning Mingde, "Comrade Ning, the documents have all been issued, my fourth brother can leave here now, right?"

She glanced at the living conditions and said helplessly, “This place is too cramped. Grandpa Meng is old and my two nephews are young. They are all crammed into one room, and it’s hard for them to even turn around.”

Ning Mingde asked in surprise and doubt, "Fourth Brother?"

“That’s right. Comrade Meng Jiusi is my fourth brother, my dear fourth brother, and he’s my third brother’s twin. Oh, by the way, my third brother is an active-duty soldier.” Lin Zhao didn’t hide anything.

I've been looking forward to this day for so long.

She wasn't afraid of any changes. In the end, Meng Jiusi was just raised by the Meng family and was essentially a member of the Lin family, with impeccable lineage.

A look of understanding flashed across Ning Mingde's eyes.

No wonder...

No wonder he felt the Meng family was in good spirits; someone was secretly helping and taking care of them.

“You can leave,” Ning Mingde replied to Lin Zhao’s question.

Then he looked at Meng Jiusi and asked, "What are your plans next?"

He still remembered his purpose in coming: to abduct the Meng family to the military hospital.

Meng Jiusi felt bewildered.

After what happened before, he didn't really want to return to the capital, but...

He looked at Old Master Meng, somewhat hesitant.

So he shook his head.

Lin Zhao asked Ning Mingde, "Does my fourth brother still have a job?"

Ning Mingde: "They should be gone. We'll have to make other arrangements."

There's a place for every radish; good jobs can't be left vacant.

Lin Zhao boasted, "My fourth brother has excellent medical skills and is very conscientious and responsible. He is a blessing to patients no matter which hospital they go to."

Meng Jiusi smiled as he was praised.

Then Lin Zhao said, "The organization must pay more attention to my fourth brother's work. Why not give important positions to talented people instead of those who flatter and fawn?"

Ning Mingde: "..."

My mother had told me before that she was a straightforward person who never suffered a loss, and it seems that this is indeed the case.

He looked at Meng Jiusi, "Do you want to go to a military hospital?"

Knowing that Meng Jiusi cared about Old Master Meng, he added, "If Comrade Meng is willing, our military region will welcome him as well."

"You can think about it and get back to me in a few days. I also live in the village, as the twins know. You can come to me anytime if you have any problems."

After finishing their business, they didn't linger and called everyone present to leave.
