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

Chapter 207 "Remarriage"

After Ning Mingde and the others left, the crowded courtyard suddenly became spacious.

Grandpa Qiao walked out of the house.

He looked at Old Master Meng and asked knowingly, "Are you leaving?"

The two old men were about the same age, and they had developed a bond over the years. Suddenly, one of them was leaving, and the other was quite reluctant to see him go.

Especially Mr. Qiao.

He's going to be alone.

but.

A bright and open mind cannot harbor any gloom; it is as calm as a still pool without the slightest ripple.

I'm just happy for my old friend.

Old Master Qiao sat down, took a sip of the cooling tea that Meng Jiusi had dried, and asked with a sigh, "Are you planning to return to the capital?"

Grandpa Meng shook his head. "No. That's a place of sadness. I don't want to go back anytime soon. I'll stay with Jiu Si and take care of myself in my old age."

After saying that, he looked at Meng Jiusi and smiled, "As long as Jiusi doesn't mind me."

Meng Jiusi had no reason to mind; he was very happy.

Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure; with Grandpa around, his medical skills improved rapidly.

Knowing that Grandpa was joking, Meng Jiusi packed her things and said with a smile, "How could I dislike Grandpa? I wish I could extract all the secrets from Grandpa's belly."

Grandpa Meng laughed heartily, his laughter was very cheerful.

"Okay, Grandpa will teach you."

Seeing Jingmo looking at him expectantly, he added, "Teach Jingmo as well."

Jingmo was satisfied and ran back to the house to pack up his and his brother's things.

Hengbao caught up without any hesitation, "Momo, I'll help you pack. We'll be living together from now on. Do you want to sleep in the same bed as me? I'd love to share half with you."

Xiao Bai looked nervous, glancing at her brother as if afraid he would abandon her.

After Yu Bao noticed this, he patted his little brother Xiao Bai's head and smiled as brightly as the morning sun. "You can sleep with me. If you don't want to sleep with me, I'll sleep in one bed with your brother Heng Bao, and you can sleep in one bed with your brother, okay?"

Xiao Bai's nervousness was soothed, and a smile appeared on her face, looking very cute. "Okay~~"

Yu Bao thought Little Bai was really well-behaved, so she took out a piece of fruit candy from her pocket and gave it to him, saying, "Here's some candy for you."

"Thank you, brother." Xiaobai said politely, took the candy, and held it in her palm.

Yu Bao smiled and helped Jing Mo pack his things with Heng Bao.

The Meng family only brought a few sets of clothes when they arrived, but thanks to the help of the Lin and Gu families these past few days, they have brought much more.

Lin Zhao stood at the door. "Fourth Brother, just pack your personal belongings. We don't need anything at home. We can add other things when you get back to work."

"Okay." Many of these things were secretly brought over by her younger sister, so Meng Jiusi asked for her opinion, "Zhaozhao, I'm thinking of keeping some of these things, is that alright?"

They are leaving, and the road ahead is smooth. Those who stay behind still have to make a living, and these things are very important to them.

“Sure, why not?” Lin Zhao said.

Her brother is still being too formal!

"Fourth Brother, let's go back to the Lin family tomorrow. Momo and Xiaobai are so old, yet they still don't recognize the place."

Meng Jiusi paused slightly, but didn't say no. He wasn't ungrateful; he could feel how much the Lin family cared about him. His parents felt guilty towards him, but they loved him even more.

"it is good."

Lin Zhao smiled, her eyes crinkling.

My parents probably don't know yet that my fourth brother has been exonerated. They would be very happy if they did.

Your parents might let you stay at their home.

Meng Jiusi didn't object. "Yes, I also want to spend more time with my family."

He's an adult and knows that family relationships need to be nurtured.

"It's good that Fourth Brother doesn't object." Lin Zhao was very happy.

She loves her parents very much and doesn't want to disappoint them.

"My parents are very good. My father is quiet and gentle, knowledgeable, and very popular with children. My mother... well, she's energetic, always on the go, and very efficient. She's straightforward in her words and actions. You've met my older brother; he's not home often after he got a job, leaving in the morning and not returning until sunset. My sister-in-law has a very good temper and doesn't hold grudges. You also have two nephews, Da Dan and Er Dan, both clever and talkative. And three nieces named Xuanxuan, Zhengzheng, and Xibao..."

Lin Zhao introduced her family members to her fourth brother.

Meng Jiusi listened attentively.

Jingmo and Xiaobai also quietly pricked up their ears.

Listening to her aunt's words, she looked very well-behaved.

Lin Zhao gently rubbed Xiao Bai's face.

The accommodations and food here are not good; the children's faces are rather thin, but their skin is tender and soft.

Xiao Bai has a good personality. She smiled sweetly at her aunt and even offered her head in a very cooperative manner.

So cute!

"I'll bring Xiaobai back with me then."

Lin Zhao smiled and put his arm around Xiaobai. "What does Xiaobai want to eat? I'll have your grandpa cook it for you. And let me tell you a secret, your grandpa is the best cook in our family."

Looking at Xiaobai's cute face, she added, "But you probably won't even need to mention it. Your grandpa will bring out his signature dishes, and I'll get to enjoy Xiaobai's cooking then."

"Hmm!" Xiaobai replied seriously.

She tilted her little head up and looked at her aunt.

"Take my brother with me," the little boy pleaded timidly, his bright eyes filled with fear.

"Of course," Lin Zhao said with affection in her eyes. "Your brother is also your grandparents' grandson, and they both love him."

Xiao Bai flashed her white teeth, clearly looking forward to returning to the Lin family.

Jingmo is the same.

The rebellious little boy's whole demeanor relaxed; he didn't smile much, but you could still feel his good mood.

Yu Bao was helping to pack things up, occasionally asking Jing Mo if he needed anything. If he wanted something, he would put it in a nylon bag, and if he didn't, he would neatly place it aside.

Lin Zhao glanced at it, then looked away and asked, "Fourth Brother, don't you want to go back to the capital?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Jiusi stopped what he was doing and nodded a few seconds later.

"I feel...very confused."

The overall environment is chaotic.

He escaped this time thanks to his sister and brother-in-law. What will happen next?

he does not know.

"Fourth Brother, getting into the military hospital is a good thing. You were assigned there after graduation, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to get transferred to the military hospital." Lin Zhao and Meng Jiusi spoke frankly. "Moreover, the military region has strict discipline, so there will be far fewer of those messy things outside."

“Your medical skills are superb, and the military region needs someone like you. You are also a researcher for that drug, so I think you would have a better future working at the military hospital.”

Meng Jiusi knew everything his sister said.

He was a little worried.

"May I? The Meng family..."

The political vetting process for entering the military hospital is very strict. The Meng family had just recovered from that ordeal, and he was afraid that something might be discovered about them again.

“Why not?” Lin Zhao saw his fourth brother’s concerns, his casual expression full of seriousness. “That Commander Ning is a high-ranking leader in the military region. The fact that he extended an invitation means that he can handle the things that you are worried about. What are you afraid of? You have just made a great contribution. It’s okay to make some excessive requests. Besides, you haven’t made any requests.”

"Fourth Brother, you're overthinking things. You worry about everything, worrying about this and that... Father always taught us that people should first be true to their own needs and satisfy their own joys before thinking about anything else."

Fourth Brother is dependent on others and lacks confidence, which is why he has so many concerns.

Lin Zhao felt quite bittersweet.

Meng Jiusi smiled good-naturedly.

“I’ll go see Commander Ning tomorrow and tell him… I’m willing to work at the military hospital and ask him to help me transfer my personnel file.”

The Meng family's reputation was restored, and his working relationship was also reinstated.

If you want to change jobs, you need to submit an application, and the military region also needs to make the corresponding preparations.

Lin Zhao clapped her hands. "Okay," she smiled.

“I made some inquiries, and it turns out that Commander Ning and your brother-in-law are in the same military region. Fourth Brother, you go there first. Once you've established yourself, I'll have someone to help me when I go to join the army.”

The younger sister, with her beautiful features, lowered her eyes, her long, curled eyelashes fluttering a few times.

Playing the victim verbally:

"I've heard that all sorts of people live in the military family housing complex. Some are gossipy and love to spread rumors. They'll find ways to bully people from poor families. I have four children, and my husband isn't home often, so I'm not exactly an easy target for bullying..."

Meng Jiusi frowned, and a serious expression appeared on his usually gentle and patient face.

Is that so?

No wonder Zhaozhao didn't go with the army.

As the older brother's heart sank lower and lower.

We still need to find a way to get into the military hospital. What if my sister is being bullied?
Just thinking about it made Meng Jiusi feel like he was going to stop breathing.

He has encountered a lot of malice since he was a child. There are many good people in this world, but there are also quite a few bad people.

Meng Jiusi looked at Zhao Zhao, whose thin and small face and arms were like matchsticks. She looked easy to bully. How could anyone feel at ease with her like that?

"I will go to the military hospital," he said solemnly.

“You gave me quite a few prescriptions, if I hand them all over… the stakes are high enough, right? It’s just… I’m relying on you again.” Meng Jiusi looked embarrassed.

The Meng family also has many valuable medicinal prescriptions, which he cannot afford to covet.

“We’re siblings, it’s only natural that we rely on each other.” Lin Zhao didn’t mind. “When I’m raising four kids, I’ll need your help too, so there’s no need to feel embarrassed.”

She was happy that those prescriptions could benefit humanity.

Meng Jiusi's gaze softened.

As he spoke, he finished tidying up the room and picked up the nylon bag to leave.

Items that are inconvenient to take with you, such as beds and cabinets, should be left in the room for other people to use.

Yu Bao looked up at Lin Zhao and asked, "Mom, does going with the army mean we're going to find Dad?"

"Yes."

Yu Bao looked on expectantly, "When are we going to find Daddy?"

"Missing your father?" Lin Zhao asked, leading the twins to wash their hands.

"I've thought about it." Yu Bao's ears burned, and she spoke quite frankly.

"Mom, I miss Dad too," Hengbao interjected. "Will Dad come back for my and my brother's birthday?"

"I'm afraid not." Lin Zhao shook her head regretfully. "I haven't received any letters for a while. Your father must have gone on a mission."

Yu Bao lowered her head, feeling uncomfortable.

Their father was never there for their birthdays.

"Are you angry?" Seeing that the twins were both silent, Lin Zhao gently stroked their soft hair.

“No.” Yu Bao responded to her mother’s every word. “Heng Bao and I wanted Dad to celebrate our birthdays, but we know that Dad has to protect our country. We’re not angry with Dad, it’s just… just a little down inside.”

He rubbed his chest, which felt a little uncomfortable, and explained to his mother.

Hengbao nodded. "That's right."

He poked the wall with his hand, his freshly washed fingers getting covered in dirt.

"Dad has never celebrated my brother's or my birthday," the child said sullenly.

"I'm here," Lin Zhao said reassuringly. "Here's what we'll do: when it's your birthday, I'll throw you a big celebration. I'll bake you a cake and invite Yuanbao and the others over to celebrate with us. You can also go to the county to call your dad. You can't see him... just hear his voice and have him wish you a happy birthday. Does that make you happier?"

Twins are babies with strong emotional needs.

Seeing that their mother cared about them, they became happy again.

Yu Bao smiled and nodded, "Yes. What's a cake?"

"Cake... something you only find in big cities, it's sweet and soft, even better than sponge cake." Lin Zhao spoke eloquently, though she herself had never actually eaten it.

In the original book, Su Yuxian went to learn how to do it in order to please Lu Baozhen, and even shared it with other family members. Those people praised her to her face for being generous, but behind her back they cursed her as a fool and a spendthrift wife...

Lin Zhao knows how to do it, but she's never done it before, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

She is very skilled at cooking.

Yu Bao was very excited, her voice rising, "We'll do it together with Mommy then."

Hengbao asked, "Mommy, shall we make red eggs?"

"Do."

The two brothers were even happier to receive confirmation.

Hengbao asked again, "You'll do it?"

His grandmother used to cook for them, and some people in the village would laugh at them... saying that their mother didn't like them.

He must regain his dignity this year.

Lin Zhao, unaware of Heng Bao's ulterior motives, replied earnestly, "Yes, I'll do it."

The two little boys burst out laughing.

When Jingmo saw this scene, he thought of Yuan Qin.

His mother used to treat the twins the same way his aunt treated them, speaking softly and buying them clothes and candy. When it was his and Xiaobai's birthday, his father would bring back meat and steamed cakes, and his mother would also give them small gifts...

The little boy lowered his eyes, concealing the fleeting vulnerability in them.

Adults change so quickly.

Then, remembering the days she and her younger brother had spent after their father was taken away, her heart, which had just begun to stir, turned cold again.

Hmph, it's okay if he doesn't have a mother, he has a father, that's enough!

……

capital.

A residential building for family members.

A group of people had no appetite for the time being, and they chatted in small groups about the Meng family.

"Hey, did you all see the bulletin board? The Meng family... that Dr. Meng who's our neighbor... he's been exonerated!"

"I heard it! I heard it! It's been on the radio all day; even people with hearing problems can hear it!"

"They say Dr. Meng is going to go back to work. He'll be back soon, right?" the woman said excitedly. "I wonder if the Yuan family is scared to death by Dr. Meng's return! And Yuan Qin, she remarried. She must be kicking herself."

Some people worked overtime to keep up with production and lived in the factory. They hadn't even been home and were unaware of Yuan Qin's remarriage.

Hearing the latest gossip, his weary body suddenly perked up. "Yuan Qin remarried? When did that happen?! I've never heard of it."

"...What happened before," the man said hurriedly. "She was unemployed, and the Yuan family couldn't stand her eating for free, so they...married her off and collected a dowry."

"Yuan Qin is willing?"

A disdainful sneer rang out.

"Why wouldn't she want to? Yuan Qin's brain... is seriously ill. The Yuan family doesn't treat her like a human being, but she can't see it at all. She even believes them when they say that shit is sweet."

After Dr. Meng was taken away, so many things happened to her family. Such a nice house... taken over by the Yuan family, Jingmo and Guangbai ran away from home, and even their jobs were taken away...

Everyone could see that her family was a den of thieves, and they were specifically targeting her. No matter what they did, she wouldn't listen, and even thought everyone was just jealous of her success. She was so stupid she should just die!

Those present nodded in agreement.

That's stupid.

I've never seen anything so stupid.

The Yuan family is really something else; they're really good at brainwashing.

"Do the Yuan family know that Dr. Meng is coming back?" A busybody asked, his eyes gleaming.

"...They probably don't know yet, since they're not in the same factory."

The group exchanged glances, then silently went upstairs, heading towards the Meng family... now the Yuan family.
