I Became a Vicious Supporting Role in the '70s-Chapter 239: Am I beautiful?

Shen Meng looked at the two with expressions as if they had eaten shit, sighed and then said, "Jiaxuan is after all Zhenping’s brother, and I personally supported the workshop. If it really ends, I’d also feel sad. It’s not that I can’t continue managing it, but things aren’t that simple. If I directly take over, it definitely won’t work. Therefore, the way they pushed me out initially, is the same way they have to bring me back in. The fourth brother and sister-in-law wouldn’t disagree, right?"

When Lu Zhenping heard this, his eyes flickered. Shen Meng wanted to take back control of the workshop; did that mean everything was going very smoothly in the Provincial City?

He glanced at Shen Meng, who slightly nodded in return, and Lu Zhenping cracked a smile. His wife was really awesome, fantastic!

Lu Jiaxuan’s face darkened. When Shen Meng was ousted, the whole village knew about it. Zhou Jiaojiao hadn’t managed the workshop for two days before it went downhill. Bringing Shen Meng back would mean a slap in Zhou Jiaojiao’s face, wouldn’t it?

Zhou Jiaojiao’s eyes brimmed with tears, her head hanging low in a pitiful manner.

Lu Jiaxuan immediately got angry. His wife had already suffered a lot during this period, and as Zhou Jiaojiao’s husband, he couldn’t let her suffer anymore.

"Elder sister-in-law, we are all family, don’t overdo it. It’s not easy for the sisters and elder ladies in the village. As long as the workshop does well, they can continue to earn their wages and will be grateful to you in the future. You have the ability and the salary to guide the workshop in the right direction, why not show generosity and let this matter slide?"

"Hey, that’s not possible. First of all, my job and salary are the results of my husband’s and my own personal charm, and the workshop, I set it up because I saw the women in the village struggling. I’ve worked hard to make sure people remember my kindness for many years. What are you thinking? Plus, I’m the most small-minded person, have you ever seen me as a magnanimous person? Still the same old saying, if you want me to manage, it has to be done the way I was pushed out. I’m not a naive do-gooder."

Shen Meng rolled her eyes after speaking, pulled Lu Zhenping, and twisted back to head home. It had been several days since they had been apart, she missed her man very much, eager to quickly pull him home to quench her longing. As a grown woman working hard outside, her beautiful man at home was her motivation!!!

Watching their departing figures, Lu Jiaxuan clenched his teeth so hard they made a clicking noise, and not just him, Liu Sanjin was infuriated too. When Wu Xianglan returned from outside with a silk scarf and a pack of candy chocolates, it made Liu Sanjin’s heart even more upset.

"Where have you been to death? Do you not see what time it is now? Analyze and go cook, every day not at home, even when you’re home you don’t cook; what are you trying to do, play dead? Do you even want to continue living? The second son goes out after work every day, and you don’t keep your man in check. How could I have such an irresponsible daughter-in-law who only knows how to blindly shop?"

"Hey, what are you talking about, mother? Yong Qiang and Yong Li had eaten at the third son’s house, and I nibbled a bit too and am not hungry at all. Whoever is hungry should cook. Speaking of Jiahe, you know well where he runs off to; he’s crawling into old ladies’ beds, but I just can’t be bothered with him. These things are what my elder sister-in-law brought me from the Provincial City. She thinks of me and the kids wherever she goes. The color also indeed suits me really well. Mother, I won’t bother you anymore, heading back to my room now!"

Liu Sanjin staggered in anger, almost falling to the ground. Shen Meng had gone to the Provincial City and had brought stuff for the second son’s wife, surely she might have brought something for the third couple too.

However, when she called for the eldest son just now, her hands were empty, she hadn’t thought of bringing anything for them—an unfilial act!

Indeed, Shen Meng had brought things for Xie Jinghao and Lu Jiasheng: fashionable fabrics, candy, specialties from the Provincial City, and pastries, a pair of shoes for each of the two children.

Also, a set of clothes and a pair of Double Star shoes for Xiao Long, who was so delighted he could jump three feet high, hugging the gifts with immense treasure. These things, which rural folk wouldn’t usually buy for their children since they could barely afford food!

After dinner, Shen Meng made an excuse to deliver something to Shirley, leaving the man and the children behind. She took the hidden money and threw it into the space on her way back. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Shen Meng returned home and went straight to her room. Lu Zhenping quietly went to the kitchen, and after a while, called the children to take a bath. Finally, when he prepared a tub of water for her to help Ming Fang bathe, his highly aggressive gaze almost made Shen Meng unable to resist, and her heart trembled thrice.

Lu Zhenping, having bathed his clean daughter, carried her to her little room.

"The bed-stove is warm, do your homework if you want, sleep if you don’t. Don’t eat too many sweets at night."

"I know, dad. You’ve mentioned it before. My elder and second brothers are definitely not asleep yet, maybe secretly reading comic books under the covers!"

Lu Zhenping’s face looked a bit unnatural, he coughed twice before saying, "Your mom in Provincial City these days might not be eating or sleeping well, you all calm down a bit, let her have a good rest at night."

Upon hearing this, Ming Fang immediately nodded, indicating she would definitely be good, would not disturb her mother in her room, and would also make sure her elder and second brothers took care of Ming Kai, not allowing any mischief. Otherwise, she would report to Teacher Zheng the next day, having her brothers copy her homework.

Lu Zhenping was extremely pleased, feeling that his daughter was incredibly considerate.

After helping close the room door and passing his sons’ room, he also pulled their door, finally returned to his own room at ease.

By then, Shen Meng had already freshened up, sprayed a bit of perfume on her neck and wrists, and wore a flirtatious floral sundress.

When Lu Zhenping pushed open the door, his breath hitched for a moment. On their earthen bed, his wife was propping her cheek with one hand, her hair draped over her shoulders, her fair legs sticking out of the blanket, and a strap on her shoulder seemed to slip any moment. One of her hands casually rested on her slim waist, accentuating its delicate grip.

His hand unconsciously rubbed together lightly as if he could feel the smooth skin beneath Shen Meng’s thin fabric.

"Am I beautiful?"

"Beautiful!"

Shen Meng slightly smiled, waved her finger at Lu Zhenping, beckoning him onto the bed. Lu Zhenping snorted. If he let Shen Meng off easily today, he thought he might as well take her surname.

The two hadn’t seen each other for some days and their vigor was off the charts. Being a tough opponent, Shen Meng soon found herself at a disadvantage. At the end, she whimpered and groaned as Lu Zhenping took as he pleased, flipping her over repeatedly, which resulted in her not getting up the next day. Lu Zhenping had to ask Shirley to request another day off for her.

Observing the satisfied look on the man’s face, how could Shirley not understand that her good sister was probably in deep trouble now, maybe not even a shred of her was left!!!
