Chapter 119 You won’t even get a bite of leftovers
This little episode of Li Sanni did not affect Xiao Baoer's mood at all, who was taken care of by Shen Zhensheng every day. She walked home holding hands with Shen Zhensheng, humming a little tune. Her three older sons running in front of her were full of energy, and she looked very happy.
After coaxing the three children to sleep, he still went into the space to take a bath and get a massage as usual. Ever since he knew Xiao Baoer was pregnant, Shen Zhensheng massaged her legs and feet every day, hoping to reduce the swelling of Xiao Baoer's legs and make Xiao Baoer feel better in mood and health.
"Honey, the house is finished today. Tomorrow morning, we will go door to door to give people their wages for these days, so that they won't worry about it. Then give each family 4 eggs. Everyone has worked very hard, and it would be bad to give them brown sugar, which is too expensive.
I'm going to my mother's house this afternoon to give my father and brother their wages. Also, we need too much furniture, and my father needs to buy the raw materials, which will cost a lot of money. If I give him the money for the furniture first, he will definitely not want it. I'm thinking of giving him a part of the deposit first."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. We'll be together tomorrow. Now, don't think about it anymore. Let's go to sleep." Shen Zhensheng lay down and patted her back gently to coax her to sleep.
The next morning after breakfast, the two went to the old house first, gave Shen's father and Shen's second brother their wages, and also gave each family a pound of brown sugar and 10 eggs.
Shen's mother and Liu Ying were also paid extra for helping with cooking, but it was different from the people who built the house. It was agreed that the cooks would be paid 10 cents each, so the wages were different, but each person was also given an extra pound of brown sugar and eggs.
When the wages were paid to Shen's father and mother and the second wife, the eldest and fourth sons of Shen were at home. When they heard the noise, they came out of the house and even drove the children out, wondering if Shen's mother would give them something for the sake of the children.
However, Shen's mother had no such intention at all. If she didn't accept the wages and things, the couple in the third room would be unwilling, so Shen's mother put them away in the house and asked Liu Ying to go back to the room and lock them in the cabinet.
Li Sanni saw that Shen's mother had no intention of sharing the food with them, so she shamelessly opened her mouth and asked for more. "Mom, I'm pregnant, and there are no eggs at home. Please give me these eggs to eat. In the future, your grandson will be filial to you when I'm pregnant."
Shen's mother sneered, "Stop talking nonsense. I can't even trust my son, and I expect my grandson to be filial to me. I've already told you that you won't get a penny of my food for free."
"Mom, my man is your own son. If you don't care about your son, do you not care about your granddaughter? Look at how skinny these four children are."
Shen's mother cursed Li Sanni viciously, "After the family is divided, it is your business to raise the children. Don't bring up the children. I, an old woman, can't raise the children for you. But I'm telling you this: if my granddaughter starves to death and you two are still alive, you two should not live anymore. Go wherever you should die."
Seeing that Li Sanni was pregnant and was scolded, and the child didn't get anything good, Shen Lao Da didn't dare to ask for anything. He went back to his room and asked Daya's four siblings to watch in the yard. If Shen Lao Si's family got any benefits, they should remember to get a share.
Shen's mother and father ignored the two families and went straight back to their rooms. Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng were about to go to other houses to pay their wages and were about to leave. They didn't expect that Shen Laosi would be so shameless that he directly stopped Shen Zhensheng.
"Third brother."
Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer stopped and turned around to listen to what Shen Laosi had to say.
"Third brother, my wife is pregnant. I've asked an experienced person to check it out, and it's definitely a son this time," Shen Laosi said to Shen Zhensheng as if he was presenting a treasure.
"Let's get to the point. My wife and I are very busy and don't have time to listen to your nonsense," Shen Zhensheng interrupted Shen Laosi directly and shot a cold look at the couple in the fourth room.
Shen Laosi looked at Xiao Baoer and said shamelessly, "My wife is pregnant, and there is nothing nutritious for her to eat at home. Do you have eggs, milk powder, meat, etc. at home? Can you lend me some so that my wife can supplement her nutrition?"
Shen Zhensheng sneered, "Okay, then when will you return it? There should be a deadline for returning borrowed items, right? One or two days, or five or seven days?"
Shen Laosi's face turned from red to white and then to ashen. "Third brother, we are brothers. You can't do this to me. This is your eldest nephew. Your eldest nephew will be filial to you in the future."
Li Sanni touched her belly and said, "Yes, Third Brother, I will definitely teach my son to be filial to his Third Uncle in the future."
"I have three sons, I don't need your sons to be filial to me, and it's still unclear whether you are my sons or not. You asked me to borrow something and then you just didn't want to return it. I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such a shameless person.
Even your parents don't care about your life or death, do you think I care about you and this so-called nephew? Are you mentally ill or are all the idiots in your four rooms?
Don't think about my family. Even if you give birth to a golden nugget, it has nothing to do with me. Why shouldn't I give that good thing to my wife and son to eat, and feed your broken mouth? If you two must beg for a living, don't beg at my door. You won't even get a mouthful of leftovers."
Shen Zhensheng left with Xiao Baoer after he finished speaking. Xiao Baoer turned around and said, "Oh, I forgot to mention that you two probably won't be able to get leftovers in the village. Why don't you go to other villages and see if there are any kind people who can give you eggs, meat or even milk powder? I've never heard of begging for food and being picky."
The two of them paid the workers in the village and gave them eggs. Many families in the village treated their wages as if it were Chinese New Year. Before going to work, who could have imagined that they would live so well and eat so well during this period?
After Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer had rendered Shen Laosi and his wife speechless, Shen Laoer and his wife wanted to take the child back to their room, and Shen Laosi set his sights on Shen Laoer again.
"Second brother, third brother listens to his wife in everything. You can't just ignore me. Look how hungry our family is. Please help me."
Before Shen Lao Er could speak, Liu Ying opened her mouth and said, "Lao Si, when the family was divided, the money and food our parents gave us were the same.
You four families have a hard time with so many people. Your second brother and I have many children, and Damei still has to go to school. We don’t have any extra money to help you, so don’t think of us.”
Liu Ying pulled Shen Laoer and the child back to the room and ignored Shen Laosi and his wife. This couple was really hopeless. They begged for food from this and that, but they didn't know how to work to earn food. Who could they blame if they starved to death?
