Meng Shu's wife actually knew it in her heart, because during the Chinese New Year, Xiao Min mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn't elaborate on it at the time.
Now my son runs here every three days. Although his place of work is also in the mountain city, it is still quite far away. A trip there takes at least an hour.
In addition, her son was busy at work and used to come here on Sundays, so Meng Shu's wife naturally knew it well.
Speaking of which, she doesn't have any bad feelings towards Xiao Min. Although the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not particularly good, unlike some mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law who are like little sisters, it is not bad in general.
She had no dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law. Meng Gu and Xiao Min fell in love and got married by themselves, so they had no requirements whether in terms of betrothal gifts or other aspects.
After she got married, she would come over to help from time to time. Although it wasn't much, at least she fulfilled her filial piety as a daughter-in-law.
These are actually enough.
Now that Xiao Min made such a request, it was understandable. After all, the person in Xiao Min's belly was also her grandson.
"Don't be anxious. Really, I know my disease, and you also know that it can't be cured. It's useless to keep the money at home. Let's give it to Xiao Min and the others to buy a house first, although it may be a little uncomfortable. It's too much, but with some of the money they saved, the down payment should be enough." Seeing Meng Shu's unhappy face, the daughter-in-law smiled softly.
Meng Shu said nothing, very silent.
It was better to wait until he made the meal and started eating when his daughter called him.
Their daughter is the happy fruit of their family. Although she is now in college, she calls home basically every day.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Shu was silent for a moment and said, "I will ask for the account again tomorrow. If I don't come back this time, I will make trouble with them."
The daughter-in-law smiled and said while drinking the soup: "It's not like you haven't made trouble before, can you do it this time?"
She no longer had any hope for these funds. Some of them were really delayed for too long.
But the only advantage is that most of their project funds are concentrated in one company.
It is precisely because of this that so much project money is owed. Many times, after a project is completed, some accounts will be settled and some will be withheld.
In the past, Meng Shu was not too anxious, because this way, he could take over the work from here.
However, business has not been going well recently, and many of his old workers are no longer able to work, and his methods are not as flexible as those of other contractors.
There is actually some other oil and water on many construction sites, but there is no such thing here, and he strictly prohibits such things.
If it weren't for his good reputation, he would have been doomed long ago.
Another point is that his wife's health is getting worse and worse, and she needs someone to take care of her. He doesn't feel comfortable leaving it to others, so he slowly hands over the work in his hands to others.
"If they don't give it this time, I won't be done with them." Meng Shufa said harshly.
For such a long time, he has been very honest. Basically, he will not do anything that is slightly illegal, but this does not mean that he is incapable of doing it.
When the daughter-in-law saw Meng Shu like this, she suddenly felt anxious. She knew her husband's past.
"Cough cough cough cough." He was anxious in his heart. The more he wanted to speak, the more he couldn't say anything and could only keep coughing.
Meng Shu quickly patted his wife's back.
It took a while to calm down a little. The wife took a sip of water and calmed down before saying, "You must not follow the same old path, or I will..."
Seeing that his daughter-in-law was a little anxious again, Meng Shu could only say quickly: "Don't worry, don't worry. I just said angry words. I just went to beg them, not to cause trouble. Don't worry, and don't be anxious."
His wife was still a little uneasy and kept telling him not to do it again. Things were different between the past and now. He was arrested and imprisoned for several years before, but now it is even more severe.
Meng Shu could only keep promising, and at the same time he was lamenting in his heart. He was wondering if these things were the so-called karma.
He had indeed lived a good life since betraying Zhang Ran, but he soon hit rock bottom.
After so many years of hard work, I finally lived a good and stable life, but my wife's health was getting worse and worse.
In fact, for a while, Meng Shu still thought about going to Zhang Ran, not to have a relationship again, but to atone for his sins.
But because of his wife's health and his daughter who was taking the college entrance examination, he couldn't make up his mind at all and didn't dare to go to Zhang Ran.
He didn't even have the nerve to go find Zhang Ran.
When he first heard the news about Zhang Ran's return, Meng Shu was excited and happy. At that time, he was like a child.
But soon he also thought of what he had done before, so he was simply happy for Zhang Ran.
In the past two years, he had also quietly followed Zhang Ran. When he knew that Zhang Ran was getting better and better, he was also happy for Zhang Ran.
At the same time, they also felt more and more sorry for Zhang Ran. If they could help Zhang Ran take care of the family business, many things could have been avoided.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing her husband lost in thought, the daughter-in-law asked worriedly.
Meng Shu quickly shook his head and put the matter aside, "It's okay, I didn't think about anything."
"Are you thinking about your past?" The daughter-in-law hit the nail on the head. After being together for so many years, she still doesn't understand her husband. Every time she looks like this, she is thinking about the past.
Meng Shu wriggled his lips twice, and finally nodded: "Yes, let's think about the glorious past."
"Ahem, are you still thinking about those things of yours? Didn't I tell you not to think about this?" As he said this, he started to cough.
Meng Shu said quickly: "It's not what you think. It was when I worked under the boss before."
"What's the difference?"
"Of course, at that time, we followed the boss, no matter what, at least no one dared to really provoke us. Of course, we never took the initiative to cause trouble. The boss was still very strict in this regard." See. Seeing the worried look in his wife's eyes, Meng Shu added.
"Don't think about what you have and what you don't have, just send the money to Xiao Min and the others tomorrow." said the daughter-in-law.
Meng Shu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by his wife, "If you should go and ask for the bill, go and ask for it, but their house can't wait any longer. The child will be born soon. We can't let the couple still live in a rented house." In the room."
"If they can come, the money will still be here. If they don't come, it won't delay them from buying a house."
Meng Shu finally nodded. He was actually embarrassed, but he also knew that his wife would probably not change her mind.
