8.Chapter 8 Isn’t she trying to blackmail us on purpose?
Author: Nanfeng Shili Passing
Wang Qiaoping could only take An An back and then return to work.
This afternoon, Mrs. Feng had been absent-minded in her work, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
When I went back for dinner in the evening, I was in a daze even while eating.
After taking a sip of wild vegetable porridge, I looked up and saw Feng Dabao holding the baby. Zhang Fen was still eating there. She suddenly became furious: "What are you doing?"
How can you let your man carry the baby?
He has been tired for a whole day, don't you know?
You are his mother-in-law, and you don’t know how to feel sorry for him?"
Zhang Fen took a bite of the steamed bun on his hand and rolled his eyes at Ma Yulan.
"Mom, there's nothing I can do. I have to eat, and I have to feed Yaozong. If he doesn't eat enough, Yaozong won't be able to eat enough."
Ma Yulan:......
It was as if there was a ball of cotton stuffed in her heart, stuck in her heart.
In the past, granddaughter Tingting would hold Yaozong beside her during meals. After everyone had finished eating, she would go to the stove to eat the leftovers.
Now that Tingting is gone, it is really inconvenient to go anywhere.
Look at this house, does it look like a place for people to live? It’s like a pig’s nest.
The wife here is really lazy.
The rice is not cooked well either. Look at this steamed bun, what does it look like?
She didn't understand why it was so difficult for Zhang Fen to do something that a five-year-old baby could do well.
But she couldn't say anything, and whenever he said a few words to her, she would talk about Yaozong.
She is an old woman. She is very old. After working for a day, she has to drag her arms and legs to clean the house and wash the clothes of the whole family...
Sometimes she really misses the loser she used to be.
If it weren't for my eldest grandson...
Ma Yulan glanced at the big fat boy in Feng Dabao's hand and breathed another sigh of relief.
Forget it, she tolerates it.
Anyway, she has a grandson.
"I don't know what the Lu family is enjoying there. Are you sick? Such a rare girl?" She subconsciously said this when she saw her grandson.
Zhang Fen also frowned.
"Who knows?
That whole family is mentally disturbed. Look at the daughter-in-law who made trouble last time when she came to the hospital. She is a murderer and the girl is bleeding from the Feng family.
How can this girl be the same? When she gets married, her surname will not be Feng."
"Isn't that right?"
Zhang Fen said so many things, but this was the only one Ma Yulan agreed with the most.
"I don't know what the Lu family's daughter-in-law is doing. She fell down so hard in the hospital, acted so seriously, and even said she was born prematurely.
I don’t think that baby was born prematurely at all.”
"Mom, do you think she is blackmailing us on purpose?" Zhang Fen asked as she fed her son a mouthful of meat.
The family cooks two pieces of bacon every night, both for her and her son.
As for everyone else…
I haven't had a bite of meat in more than half a year.
"Yes!"
Ma Yulan slapped her thigh.
"What do you think she was after? That girl is not related to her, so why did she come to the hospital specifically? She almost dropped the baby.
I think she did it on purpose and wanted to blackmail us a lot of money.
Haha, you are still a teacher, why are you so twisted?"
The more Ma Yulan thought about it, the more she felt that this was the truth of the matter.
In the evening, after dinner, the family went to bed early in order to save kerosene.
Ma Yulan, however, was so sore that she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
The old man next to him fell asleep quickly, and soon his snoring sounded like thunder.
Ma Yulan opened her eyes and became more and more angry amidst the snoring.
Her granddaughter was gone, which made her miserable now, but the Lu family had a granddaughter, and the whole family was happy.
Why?
Why?
She is not willing to give in!
How can this daughter-in-law of the Lu family still be a teacher with all her crooked thoughts?
Ma Yulan didn't sleep all night and went to town early the next morning.
**
The next afternoon, when Father Lu was working in the fields, people from the town came and took Father Lu away, saying they wanted to investigate something.
After leaving, he didn't come back until dark.
The Lu family seemed to have a premonition that something was about to happen. The whole family waited anxiously and did not even eat dinner.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that the sound of Dad Lu's bicycle was heard outside the yard.
The whole family hurriedly gathered around him, concerned about his going to town.
In total, it was not until midnight that Wang Qiaoping brought Cree Yaqian's dinner to her room.
"Are you hungry? I was late because of something late today."
Wang Qiaoping put the rice on the small table and while talking, she poked her head to see her little granddaughter.
An An was already asleep, covering herself with a small blanket, raising her hands above her head, and sucking from time to time with her little mouth, as if she was sucking milk in her dream, not to mention how cute it was.
"Mom, what happened? What is Dad doing in town?"
Que Yaqian asked uneasily.
"Nothing.
Hey, your dad has to go to town every two days, what can happen?
Don't worry so much, just sit back and relax."
"Oh, by the way, this is for you."
While Wang Qiaoping was talking, she seemed to suddenly remember something and took out a few dried dates from her pocket.
"This is given to you by the fourth boy. He heard that red dates can replenish blood and can produce breast milk. He doesn't know where he got it from. It's a tribute to the child. You are confinement at home. You can use it to put it in your mouth when you have nothing to do.
Cree Yaqian looked at the dates, but became more and more worried.
"Mom!" she shouted.
"I'm in confinement, and I'm not blind. It's not like I can't see the way my family looks like today.
What is going on?
Why hide it from me?
I am also a member of the Lu family, and I have never regarded myself as an outsider, so why should I be left aside when something happens in the family?"
Wang Qiaoping paused after hearing what her daughter-in-law said.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly heard her sigh.
"well……"
"Actually, I couldn't hide this from you. I thought you shouldn't worry about it now, so I thought I'd tell you after you finish confinement. But since you've already asked me, then I
I’m not afraid I’ve told you everything.”
Wang Qiaoping was talking and sat beside Chu Yaqian's bed.
The more Xu Yaqian heard what she said, the more her heart became anxious.
"You work at the village primary school. Didn't your father introduce you to it before?
You know, there have always been documents from above, saying that rural education is to be developed, that new primary schools are to be rebuilt, and two teachers are to be assigned, and the villages also have quotas for regularization.
Your father-in-law has been running on this matter some time ago.
You had great hope of becoming a regular employee."
Crane Yaqian held the corner of the quilt with one hand, listened carefully to her mother-in-law's words, and nodded somewhat blankly.
"But now, the superiors have received reports from the masses, saying that your father-in-law used his power for personal gain and used his position as captain to make you a teacher.
And... he also said that you have bad conduct and are not... unworthy of being a teacher.
Today, your father-in-law is called to town for investigation.
As for the follow-up, we have to wait for further investigation. Tomorrow Murakami will hold a meeting to report on this matter. What will be the outcome? Will it affect your father-in-law's work?
