Chapter 52: Zhang's Beating

Seeing that the rice was gradually turning yellow, Lin Dashi was making trouble in the house again, and the old man Lin was also tired when he was harvesting corn not long ago, and now he is also happy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The labor force that can go to the field at home is full, and there is only one Lin Dayou. If it was in the past, even if everyone in the family didn't go out, the food in the field would not rot in the ground, wouldn't there still be Lin Dashan? Lin Dashan alone, who doesn't eat or sleep during the day, can take back the food in the field in about the same time as others.

Wang had no choice, she didn't want to work in the field by herself, and several people in the Chen family kept pretending to be sick in bed, shouting that it hurt here and there, but there was no shortage of people pulling it into their mouths. Moreover, the Chen family is good, and how long will it take for the family's food to be harvested back. They are a big family, and they can't even compare to Lin Dashan.

There was no way, she came to Lin Dashan's courtyard again. 、

Since the corn incident, she has hated her eldest son, although she thinks that Sang Yu is instigating it, but she still hates that her eldest son listens too much to his daughter-in-law, and he doesn't even want his own mother. Seeing Lao Tzu Niang working in the field and having a sore back, he didn't say that he came to help.

Wang once said cruel things in her heart, saying that she didn't believe that without you, the crops in the field would not be harvested. However, now no one in the family wants to collect it, and she herself is lazy. There is no way to think about the eldest son that he has never liked.

If it was before, she would have been full of confidence, but now, she didn't dare to say it. I was a little apprehensive in my heart, but I couldn't see it on my face.

"Mountain, mountain."

She shouted twice outside the courtyard, and when she saw that no one answered, she wanted to push open the courtyard door and enter by herself. Lin Dashan's courtyard gate is said to be a door, but it is just a fence made of wood. With a slight push, the door opened.

Sang Yu was chatting in the house, and when she heard someone shouting outside, it seemed to be Wang's voice, her brows furrowed in disgust, and she ignored it. Hearing the squeak of the wooden fence being pushed open, Sang Yu's brows furrowed even deeper, and he threw the unfinished yarn in his hand in the basket before standing up.

When the curtain was lifted, he saw the Wang family looking around in the courtyard, Sang Yu hated the Wang family, and the tone of his speech was naturally not good.

"What are you going to do?"

The Wang family originally came to find Lin Dashan, and she thought in her heart that if Sang Yu was not there, it would be fine. Although she said that the last time she came to find her eldest son to help the family harvest corn, she thought that the eldest son was still her son, but since Sang Yu was at home, he was not easy to agree. If Sang Yu wasn't there, she still had a way to get her eldest son to agree.

However, seeing Sang Yu standing softly at the door, his tone was not good. The anger in Wang's heart suddenly came up.

He yelled at Sang Yu, "What am I going to do and what do you do, this is the ancestral house of my Lin family, is it possible that I can't come yet?" Thinking of the business again, he didn't want to talk to Sang Yu more, and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, I don't want to tell you more, I'm here to find my son, where is he, take me over quickly." I'm looking for him. ”

Sang Yu was a little surprised that the Wang family didn't scold herself this time, but only said that she was here to find Lin Dashan, she herself hated trouble, and she didn't want to look at the Wang family more, so she pointed to the back of the house, "He's in the back, you want to go, you go by yourself." ”

The Wang family didn't say anything, and when they heard that Lin Dashan was in the backyard, the Wang family immediately went over. Sang Yu gave her a strange look, and then went back to the house by herself.

Lin Dashan was chopping wood in the backyard, thinking that it was best to make a door first, the way it was at home, and soon he would go to help He and his family harvest grain, Sang Yu was alone at home, and he still had to rest assured that there was a door.

Thinking about harvesting grain, Lin Dashan sighed, and he didn't know how the family arranged this year. In previous years, he took back the millet alone, and sometimes Lin Dayou would come to help, and the two brothers were talking, and the time passed easily. It's just that this year, if he goes to the house to help harvest it, I'm afraid that Sang Yu will be unhappy again, but if he doesn't go, then what should he do with so much millet at home.

As soon as Wang arrived in the backyard, he saw his eldest son chopping wood with an axe against the fiery sun. Large drops of sweat ran down his cheeks, and his arms were already soaked with sweat.

Wang suddenly felt a little distressed in his heart, his son was tired from working outside, but the woman was enjoying it in the house, not even a little sun, and she didn't come out to bring water to her son and wipe his sweat.

It's a bit strange to say that Wang feels this way. She has never liked Lin Dashan, how can she feel distressed in her heart. It's just possessive. In her opinion, although she didn't like Lin Dashan since she was a child, Lin Dashan always called her mother for more than 20 years, and obeyed her words, in her heart, Lin Dashan may not be her son, but it must be her private belongings. Now, her private belongings are actually obedient to other women, and if she doesn't listen to her anymore, she will naturally feel uncomfortable. This is also human nature.

Naturally, she will be jealous of Sang Yu in her heart, and she will be jealous of how well she has trained her son.

"Dashan, why are you still working outside in such a big sun, you are really, if you are tired, isn't it distressing? Your daughter-in-law is really, she doesn't even bring water, she pours it herself, and enjoys it at home. After that, he stepped forward to wipe Lin Dashan's sweat with his sleeves.

Lin Dashan had never enjoyed such treatment from the Wang family, and in his memory, the Wang family either spoke coldly to him or scolded him for no reason. But he had never done such an intimate act for him.

His body reflexively hid to the side, thinking that the Wang family was coming to beat and scold him again. Wang's hand stopped in the air, his face became embarrassed, and there was a trace of anger. She felt that her eldest son was too ignorant, and she wiped his sweat herself, but he was still hiding. Others blame her for being eccentric, she likes her younger son, she doesn't like her eldest son, her old son is so smart and clever, where can this eldest son compare.

Wang was only stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, withdrew his hand stupidly, and said to Lin Dashan, "Dashan, why don't you go home to see your mother recently, although you are separated from the family, but that is also the son of your father." Your father hasn't been in good health lately, and he's been talking about you a lot. ”

She knew that Lin Dashan was the most filial person, and she also had a plan to come today, just to say something homely, to impress her eldest son, and let him return to her hands.

Lin Dashan was soft-hearted, and when he heard what Wang said, he immediately asked in a panic, "Mother, what's wrong with Dad?" Have you seen the doctor, do you want me to invite Dr. Li to show my father? ”

Looking at Lin Dashan's expression, Wang was very satisfied, she was here to test Lin Dashan, to see how deep her eldest son's feelings were for the family. Now that he has a satisfactory answer, Wang is relieved, and it seems that the next step will be much easier.

It's just that although she is satisfied, she still has a worried look on her face.

Hurriedly grabbed Lin Dashan and said, "It's okay, your father is tired, he is an old man, and everyone else is at home with his grandson, which is very relaxed." But you also know the situation at home, your second brother is a scholar, and he has no strength at all, and your fourth brother can't work, alas, he can only hold on to the crops in the field. It's just that although the corn has been recovered, others are also tired. Alas. ”

Wang's face was sad, and he didn't look at Lin Dashan's eyes, it seemed that he was really embarrassed. She didn't say a word about letting Lin Dashan go to help the family harvest the grain, but forced Lin Dashan to think in that direction.

"Then mother, what about the millet at home?"

Lin Dashan looked at Wang and asked tentatively.

Wang smiled triumphantly in her heart, but her face was still sad, she didn't look at Lin Dashan, she seemed to be talking to herself.

"Alas, what else can I do, it's really not possible, so I'll go to the ground and retrieve the old bones myself. There are still a few younger brothers and a few younger brothers-in-law and daughters-in-law at home, no matter how bad it is, let your second brother give up his self-esteem as a scholar and follow me to the ground. Alas, it's just that a person with a good face like your second brother, after receiving the grain, he is afraid that he will feel that he has lost face in the village. I'm afraid of him, so I'm going to collapse, you also know that your second brother is arrogant, and he doesn't have the strength to do two, but there is no labor at home, and I really have no choice. Let's just wait for the grain to be harvested. ”

Wang said with a frowning face, his eyes secretly glanced at Lin Dashan, only to see that Lin Dashan also frowned, and the folds between his eyebrows could kill a fly.

Wang knew that his eldest son's heart was loose, and now that her goal had been achieved, she only needed to add more fire, and maybe it would be done.

Raising his head, his eyes looked at Lin Dashan sincerely and extremely distressed, "Dashan, if it was before, why should my mother worry about these things, with you at home, my mother can rest assured." You are such a filial good child, never let your mother worry about it, your mother thought that you were sensible, so she hurt your younger brothers and sisters more, but she didn't expect it, alas, forget it. Now that you have also separated from the family, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the family, just keep your daughter-in-law and children alive. Mother, now that you are old, I only hope that your daughter-in-law is a virtuous and caring person, and she can take care of you. ”

After speaking, he wiped away the tears that didn't exist at all with his hand, squinted one eye slightly, and secretly observed Lin Dashan's expression.

Sure enough, a guilty look gradually appeared on Lin Dashan's face, mixed with a trace of pain in it. Wang's heart is proud, hum, fight with the old lady, you are still tender.

However, after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Lin Dashan say anything, Wang was anxious, and wanted to teach Lin Dashan a lesson like before, but he was afraid that everything he had just done would be in vain.

As everyone knows, Lin Dashan is also in a lot of entanglements. He was originally thinking about things at home, and his mind was not firm, although he said some cruel words to the Wang family last time, but it was also because the Wang family had treated him badly for so many years, and he had been wronged in his heart for many years, and it was easy to find a breakthrough, and it all broke out. After that time, he was also very apprehensive in his heart, although he didn't seem to care about it on the surface, but he really kept thinking about it in his heart. But if he were to be the same as before, he wouldn't be able to do it. I don't know why, but I thought in my heart that if I wanted to do that, he actually resisted, and he resisted from the bottom of his heart.

But Lin Dashan is still kind, and his feelings over there are real and deep. Hearing what the Wang family said, Lin Dashan had already relented, and he couldn't wait to agree immediately. Especially when he heard that Old Man Lin was tired of harvesting corn, he kept blaming himself, hating why he didn't go to the house to help harvest in the first place, and his father was overworked. Hearing that the Wang family said that he wanted Lin Dafa to harvest the grain, Lin Dashan was even more complicated and speechless. Since childhood, their family has been instilled with the idea that Lin Dafa is a scholar and does not touch the soil, and they feel that scholars are superior to ordinary people. Besides, Lin Dafa was carrying the burden of honoring the ancestors of the Lin family, how could he waste his energy on other things.

Of course, Lin Dashan thought so in his heart. He is not a modern person, he does not have those enlightened thoughts, all he thinks about is the safety of his family, the glory of his ancestors, and so on. For the sake of the family, he can sacrifice infinitely.

But Lin Dashan also remembered Sang Yu's words, and Sang Yu said that there was anything that must be discussed with her.

Lin Dashan knew Sang Yu's temper, he originally loved this daughter-in-law very much, and he was somewhat estranged from the Wang family, so he didn't agree, but just opened his mouth, but what he said made the Wang family angry half to death.

"Mother, I don't have much food at home, I have promised to help He family harvest grain, and his family has also promised to give me fifty catties of grain. I don't think the family needs my help, the younger brothers have grown up, and they should be able to afford the work at home, and my mother should let the younger brothers exercise. ”

The meaning of this means that they will not help. Wang was so angry that he almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood. On such a hot day, she talked so much for so long, her mouth was dry, this eldest son was worthy of being a wooden head, and he couldn't even hear her obvious hints, so he immediately wanted to give Lin Dashan a mouthful.

Her hanging hand was trembling slightly, angry.

But in the end, Wang still held back, she is not blind, she has lived for most of her life, and the rice you eat when she eats is not for nothing. Finally, Lin Dashan's attitude was a little loose, she didn't want to make the relationship between the two families back to the previous one.

He pulled out a smile with difficulty, and said in a dry tone, "Well, you're right, it's time to do this." ”

The matter did not succeed, and Wang naturally did not have the mood to continue, and after saying two more words, Wang left first under the pretext that he wanted to go home to cook.

Lin Dashan stood there for a long time before he began to work again.

When Wang returned home, she happened to see Zhang's two children playing at the kitchen door, she had just been angry with Lin Dashan, and she happened to have no place to vent, and she saw Lin Chunfeng playing with house wine and getting some mud at the kitchen door, and she immediately had a seizure.

Her hands were heavy and she was angry, and a slap passed, and Lin Chunfeng's face suddenly had a few finger prints. Lin Chunfeng was having a good time with his sister Lin Chunyu, but he didn't expect his grandmother to slap himself without asking, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately cried.

Lin Chunyu saw her sister crying, and saw the terrible look on her grandmother's face, so she also cried.

Zhang was preparing the noon meal in the kitchen, when she heard the two daughters who had just been fine crying sadly, mixed with Wang's scolding, she had a bad premonition in her heart, and she didn't even have time to wipe her hands clean, so she hurriedly ran out.

I saw my two daughters standing against the wall, crying with tears on their faces, and the eldest daughter's face was clearly visible with five finger prints, and the bright red color was particularly clear on the daughter's white and tender little face.

Hurry up and put the child in your arms and look at it lively. When the two children saw Zhang coming, they cried even more sadly, and they were simply broken.

The Wang family was still scolding, and when he saw the Zhang family come out, he regarded the two girls as if they were a baby, and he couldn't help but have no trace of weakness on his face, but became even more angry. Pointing at Zhang's family, he scolded, "Damn little hooves, a slut who can't give birth to a son, making the door of the old lady's house so dirty, I mean, why has it been so bad luck recently, it turned out that you guys did it." The old lady worked hard to manage this family, and raised you so well, saying that it was raising children to prevent old age, and the old lady was so old, she still had to run for your group of people, and she couldn't get a good one. What did the old lady do when she gave birth to so many sons, they were all debt collectors. ”

That Zhang was scolded by the Wang family and her face was red, she didn't know how she provoked the Wang family, and she thought in her heart that it was the Wang family who was making trouble, she was angry somewhere, and came back to vent her anger on herself. Thinking of being a cow and a horse in this family for so many years, the Wang family has never had a good face for himself, and he has never said a good word to his two children, let alone buy things.

The grievances and hatred in his heart gathered together, and he didn't speak, holding a child in one hand, and looked at Wang coldly, Wang was angry with her, thinking that even Zhang, who had always been weak and obedient, dared to blow his nose and glare at her, and stretched out his hand to slap Zhang's face, and Zhang didn't hide, and slapped Wang's hard.

The slap made even the corners of his mouth bleed.

But Wang was taken aback, she thought that Zhang would naturally hide when she saw the slap coming. After all, who likes to be slapped? But Zhang didn't even blink his eyes, as if he was waiting for her to fight.

Although the Wang family has bullied the Zhang family for a long time, he has never beaten her, the only time, that is, that time, Lin Dashan took Sang Yu to the Wang family to borrow needlework, which caused the Wang family to be angry, and when she went to persuade her, she was slapped by the Wang family.

Wang's heart jumped a few times, and in order to hide the weakness in her heart, she scolded again, and the words were all Zhang's wrong.

Zhang didn't even wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth, glanced at Wang, and took the two children back to the room.

As soon as I closed the door, I didn't go to cook.

Wang scolded outside for a long time, but he didn't ask Zhang to cook again. Even for lunch, Zhang didn't come out to eat. Wang only thought that she was still angry, and he didn't pay much attention. In his heart, he was even calculating how much rice and grain the Zhang family and his two granddaughters could save for the family if they didn't eat.

Lin Dayou came back from outside when it was time to eat, and he thought that his daughter-in-law was still busy in the kitchen, after all, it was his daughter-in-law who cooked every time, and sometimes the family ate almost the same, and his daughter-in-law came out of the kitchen. He was naturally distressed, but on one side was his wife and on the other hand, he was caught in the middle, and he didn't know what to do. I just thought that one day it would be good to break up. However, he didn't want to split up, his second brother was a prosperous family, and he had no future, so he thought that in the future, when his two nephews were promising, he would be able to be an uncle, and use the light of his nephew to find a good family for his daughter, and let his daughter-in-law enjoy the blessings and live the life of an old lady.

However, he had finished lunch, and his daughter-in-law had not come out yet. So I went to the kitchen to look for it. But there was no one in the kitchen, only Li was scolding and washing the dishes.

When he exited, he happened to run into the Wang family, and Lin Dayou asked casually, "Mother, do you know where the second sister went?" ”

The second sister is Zhang's ranking in her mother's family, and it is also her name. Her father and mother already had a son, so she naturally didn't care about this later daughter, she originally thought that she was a son again, but she didn't know that it was a daughter, and the old man of the Zhang family didn't even bother to take a name, so he called the second sister directly.

Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been enemies. Wang's heart was naturally dissatisfied, she beat Zhang's family, and she was a little weak at the beginning, but since ancient times, it is natural for mother-in-law to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson, and whose daughter-in-law in the village has not been beaten by her mother-in-law's mouth. She also blamed Zhang's squeamishness in her heart, she didn't know how to respect the elderly, and she actually gave herself anger.

As soon as he heard Lin Dayou ask, Wang didn't have a good face at all.

"Hmph, I just taught her a lesson today, she went to the room in anger, and she didn't come out to cook, her good daughter of Zhang's tutor, I'm going to ask that old man Zhang, his Zhang family's daughter is like this? Hmph, if you don't come out, you won't come out for the rest of your life. ”

Lin Dayou listened, but he was worried in his heart, Wang's mouth was still scolding, Lin Dayou only said one sentence, "Mother, I'll take a look at her." So he ran away, so angry that Wang scolded his son for having a daughter-in-law and forgetting his mother.

Lin Dayou pushed open the door and saw Zhang sitting on the edge of the bed, his head lowered, and his two daughters in his arms. When I heard the voice, I subconsciously raised my head to look. But Lin Dayou was taken by a big jump.

Zhang's face is not white, the countryman is busy in the field all the year round, and does not take heavy maintenance, although Zhang is only in his twenties, but his face has spots, because she can't eat enough all year round, and does a lot of work, her face is sharp and thin. At this moment, half of her face was swollen, the corners of her mouth were still bruised, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying when she looked at her.

As soon as the eldest daughter saw that it was her father, the grievances she had suffered before naturally came to her heart, and she broke away from Zhang's arms and ran towards Lin Dayou crying, Lin Dayou hurriedly caught her daughter, and when she saw her daughter's face, she was shocked. (To be continued.) )
