Some people wear their masks for a long time and never want to take them off again.

Mother Lu sighed secretly and looked at the sky that had already darkened.

At this time, Mrs. Lin, who was behind Lu's mother, asked faintly, "How is Xiaoxue's matter?" ”

Mother Lu turned to see that Aunt Lin was about to get up from the soft couch, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

There was a bit of helplessness in her expression, "Aunt Lin, you rest, the old slave asked the small kitchen to prepare a meal for you, can you taste it?" ”

Aunt Lin waved her hand, and the candle flame shone on her haggard face, making her even more exhausted, "Say, there is still some bad news now, I can't hear it." ”

"At the beginning, I was sorry for her." Mrs. Lin added another sentence, and then rubbed her eyebrows, "She's a good boy, but ...... If he had died in the Zhang family, he would not have been like this. It's better to be dead than alive. ”

Mother Lu got up and poured a cup of hot tea for Aunt Lin, and then said slowly, "I don't think this will happen." The son of the Lei family seems to know about the illness of the fourth young lady, and this matter is ...... There was nothing that could be done at the time of the lady. ”

Aunt Lin was dumbfounded, yes, who would want to marry a madman.

In just half a month, almost all the white hair on Aunt Lin's head has sprung up like mushrooms after the rain. Mrs. Lin, who looked a little young in the past, looked at herself in the bronze mirror and had to admit that she was old. She is old, and she can't do many things anymore, and she may not be able to step out of this small courtyard for the rest of her life, or even ...... I can no longer see my father and my children.

Her son. Hate poisoned her.

Mrs. Lin took the teacup from Mother Lu's hand, and said with a miserable smile: "It's okay if it doesn't work, let her continue to follow Jiu'er." Her younger brother spoils her and won't let her be lonely. ”

Mother Lu turned to look at the sky outside the window, and then turned back to ask, "Aunt Lin, let's eat something first, you haven't used anything for a day." ”

Mrs. Lin drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp, and then waved her hand: "I'm not hungry." ”

She didn't have much of an appetite, so she didn't need these meals.

Xia Ruan didn't treat her badly in terms of food and clothing, and if there were any good things outside, they would also be brought to her. Initially. Aunt Lin thought that Xia Ruan was just making a show. But then she also understood that Xia Ruan had never thought of treating her badly in terms of food and clothing.

It's just that Xia Ruan, like Xiao Jiu, won't let her step out of this courtyard.

Xia Ruan is a smart woman. Know days like this. For her, life is worse than death. What if you get more. What is the point of being alive if those who want to see can't see it?

But she couldn't die. If she really died, then the entire Lin family might really be wiped out.

She has to live for the people of the Lin family to live.

Mrs. Lin shook her head helplessly, she was really tired, and she didn't want to tell anyone about anything.

"Miss, I beg you, eat something." Mother Lu became anxious all of a sudden, she knelt beside Aunt Lin, and hurriedly shouted out her former name, "Even if you think about yourself, you have to think about the master, if you are ...... If something happens to you, what can you do? ”

After Mrs. Lin heard this, her eyes turned red.

She turned her head away, tears welling up in her eyes, "I'm tired, Xiao Lu, I'm really tired...... Since I was a child, I have listened to my father's words, and I even gave up because of the Lin family. But what did I get? What do you say I've got, my son and daughter hate me, and they don't want to come to see me anymore. I'm really tired......"

Aunt Lin's tears slowly slipped from the corners of her eyes, and then she shook her head helplessly.

How did she live in this life, so that she would be such a failure.

Her father hated her, and her children hated her.

Mother Lu also cried out, with some confusion in her eyes, "If you don't help the master, then the master...... I heard from the people in the house that the old man was imprisoned in Zhuangzi Li on the outskirts of Beijing. And Miss Table...... Miss Cousin is a dishonest person, and she is now ...... She lives in the capital now, but she doesn't dare to come to see you. ”

When Mrs. Lin heard these words, she didn't react much.

When her father wanted to kidnap Xia Ruan, Aunt Lin was actually shocked.

She didn't like Xia Ruan, because Xia Ruan was too smart. Now, she can't control her son, and if her daughter-in-law can't control it, then she is indeed a failure.

She also often makes things difficult for Xia Ruan, but ...... She didn't want to hurt Xia Ruan's life.

Xiao Jiu likes Xia Ruan too much, if he hurts Xia Ruan, it will completely break down the relationship between their mother and son.

Perhaps, it can never be repaired again.

But her father told her: "Huixian, my father is old, and before my father died, I just wanted to do something for the sake of the descendants of the Lin family." Jiu'er has grown up and doesn't listen to us anymore, and now Xia Ruan is by Jiu'er's side, which is a disaster. If Xia Ruan is gone, Jiu'er can return to our side, so that he can help the Lin family do things. ”

"Your mother died early, and it was your father who brought you up." When Master Lin said these words at that time, he almost cried, "Daddy is afraid, as soon as Daddy dies, this house will no longer belong to the Lin family." People in the martial arts, no matter how famous they are, they don't have any money...... Jiu'er refuses to help me, refuses. ”

Mrs. Lin remembered her father's eyes that day, just as old as she is now.

My father is the head of the Lin family, and I have to think about many things for the sake of the Lin family.

She is a member of the Lin family, so naturally she has to help the Lin family.

Therefore, even though she knew that this matter might destroy the mother-son relationship between her and Xiao Jiu, she still did it without hesitation.

She wants to be a good daughter in the eyes of her father and a savior in the eyes of the Lin family.

It's a pity that she still thinks too much of herself.

The people of the Lin family have never said good things about her, only her father will often laugh and make her happy, so she will make mistakes again and again.

Sometimes, Mrs. Lin envies those selfish people, if she can be like those people, will her life be different?

Especially on that day, after she and Xia Ruan said some words. Mrs. Lin had already begun to wonder if it was worth it for her.

Mrs. Lin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then turned to Mother Lu and said, "I am not a good mother, but I want to be a good daughter." But now, I can't even be a good daughter. In the past, I was going to take out some of the silver tickets that Xiao Runqing left for me, and you can send the rest to your father. I really can't do it, I'm here now. Can't get out. That son of mine was so smart. He knew what I wanted to do. Now I'm just giving these silver tickets, and he shouldn't stop me. ”

With that, Aunt Lin stood up from the soft couch and didn't look at the crying Mother Lu again.

She took out a small bag from the cupboard. When opened, there was a thick stack of silver tickets.

She never imagined that she would one day use these silver tickets. It was the last thing of value around her.

Over the years, she has subsidized a lot of silver for the Lin family. But the Lin family's side is like a big hole, and it can't be filled. Aunt Lin is powerless now, and she can't get out of this courtyard at all. I can't interfere in the affairs of the inner house, so how can I give the Lin family more silver.

"There are three thousand taels here, I will keep five hundred taels, and you can send two thousand five hundred taels to your father." Aunt Lin took out the silver ticket and smiled a little miserably, "What Xiao Runqing left me is now gone." Alas, I owe him in this life, and if God opens his eyes in the next life, don't let him meet me again. ”

Mother Lu knelt on the spot again, still with a stunned look.

She never thought that Aunt Lin would mention Xiao Runqing.

After all...... The person that Aunt Lin doesn't want to think of in this life is the former head of Nan Xiao's family and Xiao Jiu's biological father - Xiao Runqing.

At this time, Mrs. Lin would mention this name repeatedly, which made Mother Lu not know what to do.

Mrs. Lin looked at Mother Lu in a daze, then walked to her with a smile and put the silver ticket in her hand, "The person my father looks down on the most in his life is Xiao Runqing, but the silver used in this life is all given by Xiao Runqing." At the beginning, if I had treated him well, he would not have left so early. Jiu'er actually hated me early on...... He's smart...... Just like his father. ”

Aunt Lin stood firm, her eyes full of exhaustion, "I am after all, there is no way." ”

Mother Lu cried even more, she grabbed Aunt Lin's clothes, and then begged, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" How did you become like this. ”

"Am I like that? I've always been like this. The smile on Aunt Lin's face disappeared cleanly, and then she closed her eyes, "What are you going to let me do?" What are you going to do? I can't kill Xia Ruan, I can't kill her. I can't control Jiu'er, I can't do it...... I don't have that ability, what do you want me to do now? All my life was ruined because of the Lin family and because I was a member of the Lin family. Back then, I gave up being with Cheng Lin and used the means to get to Nanxiao, what am I for? Do you think Xiao Runqing doesn't know what I'm thinking? If Xiao Runqing really doesn't know, do you think Xiao Runqing will give such a big dowry? Dirty...... It's so dirty......"

Mrs. Lin sobbed a few times, and then sat on the ground weakly, "Look, I want to bathe, I want to wash up...... However, it can't be washed clean. ”

Mother Lu looked at Aunt Lin's appearance, frightened.

She had never seen such an Aunt Lin, as if life was worse than death.

The room was quiet, save only the sound of candle flames.

"Go ahead, go to the kitchenette and have someone bring the meal, I'll eat." Mrs. Lin's voice was flat, but there was a blank look in her eyes.

Can't die...... Her qiē is up to her.

Mother Lu quickly stood up and wiped away her tears, "Okay, the old slave will bring it to you immediately." ”

Just turned around, Aunt Lin didn't see the terrible look on Mother Lu's face. (To be continued......)
