Chapter 399: Emotions stand on interests*
That night, Mei Zi’s house in Andong Village.
Zeng Dashu came back with a bowl of goat milk from outside. He entered the house and went to see his wife and children first.
Mei Zi on the bed looked up at him and waved to him.
Zeng Dashu understood immediately, pointed at the child beside the bed and asked angrily: "Asleep?"
He returned to the kitchen and put the goat's milk in a pot to warm.
Back in the room again, the child was already awake. He didn't cry when he woke up. He just lay in Meizi's arms and looked around with his eyes wide open.
Zeng Dashu was so surprised by this appearance that he quickly washed his hands by the door, changed his clothes, sat by the bed and hugged the child.
“Looking at her like this, she must not be hungry yet. Let’s feed her later.” Zeng Dashu said.
Mei Zi nodded, "Sister Wanjin came here just now and gave me a lot of eggs. I didn't want to accept them, but I can't fire her."
Zeng Dashu said: "I will go to Sister Wanjin's house in two days. If there is anything she needs help with, I will help."
The two of them stared at the child again. After a while, Zeng Dashu tried to speak: "I heard from people in Pingbei Village that the third and second sons raised silkworms and sold them for a lot of money."
Mei Zi did not speak.
Zeng Dashu said again: "I didn't expect the second child to get better and know how to help the family, but the third child has a way."
Mei Zi still didn't say anything.
"I'm thinking about going to Pingbei Village in two days." Zeng Dashu said in one breath, "It's been more than a month since our child was born, so we should ask mother and the others to come and see it. It turns out that mother is partial to the second child and the couple. I couldn’t carry it clearly again, but it’s different now. I know how to make money.”
< br>Seeing Mei Zi's silence, Zeng Dashu continued: "After all, they are my biological brothers and biological mothers. Since they have gotten better, I don't think there is any need to stay away from them forever."
Mei Zi said: "I I have said this a long time ago."
Zeng Dashu showed his face. He was so happy that he thought Meizi agreed with him, but he didn't expect Meizi to continue: "When I first came to Beishan County, I told you that you don't need to follow me. You have your mother and your brothers. There is really no need to do anything for me." Recognize them.”
Zeng Dashu realized the situation. Something was wrong. He looked panicked and opened his mouth to explain something, but Meizi didn't give him a chance to speak. He continued, "When I said these things to you, I want you to think clearly. It was you who had to follow me to Beishan County. Come on, I admit that it will save me a lot of effort if you come here.
But you can’t ask me to live in harmony with them and become a family just because I save effort.
I can't do it. It doesn't mean that your mother and your brother have become better now, and the things they did to bully me in the past don't count. "
Zeng Dashu nodded, "I know, I know..."
"You know you want to test me, what do you think? "Mei Zi asked.
Zeng Dashu couldn't answer.
Meizi said: "I don't like to force anyone to stay with me. Since you regret being separated from your family, I can't help but give you a chance to regret it. We have half of this house, and the children will follow me from now on."
< br>"It's not Meizi, why did you say such hurtful words." Zeng Dashu looked aggrieved. "You said it first." The expression on Mei Zi's face remained unchanged from beginning to end, "I don't want to get along with them, and I don't want you to bother me with this kind of thing from now on. I'm even more worried about you secretly taking my daughter with you. Go over there and separate now instead of doing this ”
“ Meizi." Zeng Dashu went to pull her, "I will never say such things again."
"What you say and what you think have nothing to do with me from now on. It will be easy for us to separate. , build a wall in the middle of the yard, you can build it, or you can pay and I’ll find someone to build it.”
Seeing Mei Zi's determination, Zeng Dashu lowered his head and said, "The two of us have been living without arguing for so long. Why do you do this just because a sentence doesn't suit you?"
"I'm not following you now either. You are making noise just because you don’t want to give in in front of your mother and your brothers. I don’t want to embarrass you, I’m thinking about you, but you turn around and say something bad about me. Well, I can’t control what you say, but no one wants to bully me!” Mei Zi scolded Zeng Dashu: “Get out! ”
Zeng Dashu was afraid that she would hurt her body with anger, so he walked out of the room slowly.
Closing the door, he sat on the ground and thought for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more tears he shed. Thinking of what Mei Zi said just now and the life Mei Zi had lived in the past, he looked back at the door and sighed. In the end, he still blamed himself. I shouldn't have said what I just said. How could a good life suddenly become like this?
He sat leaning against the door until the sun set. He quickly went to the kitchen to prepare dinner and entered the room with the meal and hot goat milk.
Although Meizi wanted to separate from him, she had no objection to the food he sent and ate it as usual.
Zeng Dashu held the child in his arms and fed him goat milk. Seeing that Meizi had almost eaten, he sincerely apologized to Meizi, "I shouldn't have said those words, let alone to test you. You know I'm a weak-minded person. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been wronged before.”
As he spoke, tears fell down, “I have been sitting outside thinking about it for so long, how could I have survived without you and my child. what day .
Mom and my second son, you don’t want to associate with them, and you don’t want your children to be involved with them. I’ve made a note of it. If you don’t say anything like this again, I’ll help if I can. I will never let you and your children be wronged again, and I will never mess with the family's money behind your back."
Mei Zi thought as she held the bowl, Zeng Dashu is actually very good at talking and understanding. The meaning behind other people's words is rare.
She also thought that until the child could walk and jump, she might not be able to cope with it on her own. Now that Zeng Dashu had said these words, she was still willing to continue living her life. She also said that no one should be bullied. She, if those people try to jump on her head again, don't blame her for killing them all together.
Mei Zi also said this, Zeng Dashu did not dare to have any ideas.
Rushing words can hurt people, but as long as you are calm, you will never put your emotions before your interests.
The days went on like this day by day. The news about those silkworm farmers earning several taels of silver spread throughout Beishan County. Now almost every family wanted to raise silkworms.
Outside the small gate of the county government office, many people queue up every day to see Qi Renli.
Meng Changqing saw that he was too busy, so he assigned a group of people to lend it to him.
Compared to Qi Renli, Meng Changqing had a lot more free time. He went to the office on time for several days in a row. After returning to the office, he still had time to study snacks with Bafang Mancang and the others.
On this night, the family sat together to eat. In addition to the normal meals, there were also fried meat cakes and twists made by Meng Changqing and others on the table.
During the meal, Meng Changqing kept enthusiastically serving dishes to her mother and mother, and insisted on letting them taste the crispy meatloaf.
Both Wenshi and Liang Jiujiu were very considerate. After eating, they said, "It's very fragrant and fresh. The meat filling inside doesn't have any fishy smell. How did you make it?"
Before Meng Changqing could speak, Bafang said: "The young master has made a rule that pig farmers are not allowed to feed pigs with excrement. When making it, they add enough wine and onion and ginger water, so of course there is no fishy smell."
