Lu Mu was stunned for a moment. He originally thought this was a farce in the Meng family's main room, but it turned out that there was another reason.
Meng Li's words made Boss Meng and Shen stop. They looked at Dawang, who turned away with a guilty conscience. The answer was self-evident.
Boss Meng kicked Meng Dawang on the butt, then picked him up like a chicken. Regardless of Meng Dawang's howling, he quickly walked into the yard, and Shen quickly followed.
Lu Mu pushed his wheelchair home.
He was busy in the kitchen just now, and the sound of cooking covered up the movement outside. When Shen finally shouted, he went out to see what was going on.
"Meng Dawang wants to push you over the edge."
"Well, luckily I reacted in time, otherwise I wouldn't just be treating my legs now."
Lu Mu remembered that Meng Dawang was in terrible pain and it was not pretending, but he couldn't see what was wrong with Meng Dawang's hands.
He underestimated Meng Li, thinking she was just an ordinary village girl who had been in bed for many years and needed to be taken care of.
At this moment, Meng Yao was almost done with the dishes. Among the things given by the villagers were tofu and green vegetables, and the last dish was green vegetable and tofu soup.
The family added soy sauce, rock sugar, and made a braised carp dish. The carp weighed three kilograms and was killed by Lu Mu.
Soon Meng Wu and Meng Ning came back. Meng Wu didn't know the situation, but he still listened to Aunt Zhao and came back without buying anything. He brought back fifty copper coins.
Generally, you only get 30 coins for working for others, but you get 50 coins for boxing in a boxing gym, and sometimes there are extra rewards.
Meng Wu was stunned when he looked at the food on the table. Stir-fried pork slices with green beans, scrambled eggs with loofah, braised carp, vegetable and tofu soup, and every bowl was full of white rice, with more than half left in the pot.
My little sister cooks every day and her cooking skills are very good. The fragrant aroma of coriander and coriander in the rice makes it mouth-watering.
Meng Wu thought it was because his eyes were dazzled, but when he confirmed it, he was really stunned.
"Where did these come from?"
Meng Ning was also a little strange, but he had already seen other things. What he was curious about was where the fish came from.
Lu Mu said: "The fish were caught from the river, and the others were found in the room."
Meng Ning seemed to have realized something, and smiled brightly on his face: "Brother, our family has been blessed since our eldest brother-in-law has joined the family. This morning when you were not here, there was a bunch of delicious food in the house for no reason. Others have never seen it before." If you can’t catch fish in the river, we can catch them.”
There is no other explanation other than this. Meng Wu's eyes lit up. From now on, life is full of hope.
"This family is blessed because my wife woke up." Lu Mu didn't want to take the credit because these things seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Everyone looked at Meng Li again.
Yes, why didn't they think of this? After all, as soon as Meng Li woke up, there were new changes in the family.
As for the surprise, it might really be just an accident. Although Lu Mu had someone give him something in the Lu family before, he hadn't done so in many years.
Everyone's mood towards Meng Li was even more different.
Meng Li felt a little embarrassed when everyone saw it, and waved her hands: "God is helping us. God has given it to us, so let's just accept it with peace of mind. Hey, let's eat, eat, eat, we're hungry."
She had a high opinion of Lu Mu, and he was able to distinguish that these things seemed to have nothing to do with his rumored blessings, which showed that this person was very smart and could eliminate those narcissistic complexes.
Everyone ate happily and felt full as never before.
After cleaning up the kitchen, everyone counted the money they earned today.
Meng Wu earned fifty cents, Meng Ning earned fifteen cents for doing handiwork for half a day, and Lu Mu got up early and earned ten cents from plowing the fields, for a total of seventy-five cents.
"In this way, our family can earn two taels of silver a month, which will be 24 taels in the first year." Meng Ning calculated.
Meng Li looked at her elder brother's hand. There were old lacerations on the back and fingers, and they were covered with calluses.
I also saw that the clavicle on one side of my neck was sunken in the middle, and it must have been broken.
"Brother, how much does it cost to build a spacious yard?" Meng Li asked, suppressing the sadness in her heart.
"Sister, you are thinking of building a house now. To build a house like your uncle's house, you have to earn one hundred taels, which will take four to five years." Meng Wu, a burly man, smiled fondly: " You are getting better now. It is only a matter of time before our family builds a house, and four or five years is not a long time."
In this way, if it were not for her treatment, the family would have built a house long ago.
Moreover, this kind of money-making speed is too slow. It takes four to five years to build a house. What about the marriage of the eldest brother and the second brother? They are both old, and it is not easy for a girl to marry into such a home.
It would take at most half a year for their family to build a house with better materials and more space, Meng Li decided in her heart.
"There are still nine fish in the bucket. Tomorrow, take two to the Lu family and return home. My eldest brother will go to town and take three to sell. Our family will eat one every night, which is enough for four days." Meng Li said.
Lu Mu raised his eyes and looked over. He thought that Meng Li didn't take returning home seriously, but he didn't expect that she still remembered.
"Okay, I see we have so many extra things at home. Tomorrow we will cut two pounds of meat and bring three pounds of rice." Meng Wu said generously.
Although it is a happy occasion, we have also become a formal in-laws, so we should have the proper etiquette.
Lu Mu's usually cold face showed a trace of emotion.
Meng Li made her attitude clear last night, and Lu Mu slept directly on the floor tonight. When she was sure that he was asleep, Meng Li quietly applied acupuncture to her legs.
Compared to last night, a few more acupuncture points were sensitive. She applied medicine and went to sleep.
Lu Mu slowly opened his eyes, then closed them again.
When they got up early in the morning, Meng Wu and Meng Ning were making arrangements for their return home, and finally filled their backpacks with half of their belongings.
"Lu Mu, you will come back tomorrow and take good care of my eldest sister." Meng Wu said to Lu Mu.
"Yeah." Lu Mu responded.
"My dear grandson, your hands are so swollen that it's scary. Who the hell did they harm you?" Shen's howl came from the east yard.
"What's wrong with auntie?" Meng Ning muttered.
"Go to Meng Li to settle the score. It must be her fault. She has become lawless as soon as she woke up." Mrs. Shen cursed again.
Hearing the footsteps and voices getting closer and closer, someone was coming from the east courtyard.
Meng Li silently stuffed a pill into her mouth.
