Chapter 21: Grievances
Lin Yu is very aggrieved! She's also kept in the dark, okay?! The Erkui family is not authentic, and the Sun family didn't even check or ask, so they gave themselves a slap! They are brothers and sisters, not enemies!
Maybe she's wrong! She was wrong to be too self-righteous! She thought that as an eldest sister who had not been at home for many years, she should reconcile in time when the relationship between her brother and brother's family was not good! She thought that her brother's family was asking for help, and she should go and help immediately! She thought that if she helped her brother's family make money, her sister-in-law would value her more! She thought that people should get along with each other and just endure it! But she was wrong! Her self-righteousness was exchanged for her brother's crossing of the river and demolishing the bridge and the loud slap of her sister-in-law!
The more Lin Yu thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he hugged his knees and cried in the alley.
"Woo-woo-woo-" What's the point of staying at home like this!
I don't know how long she cried, but suddenly, Lin Yu felt that someone had walked up to her, and out of precaution, she immediately sat on the ground and raised her head again.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that it was a young man who had just bought pastries, Lin Yu shook his head.
"Why is your face so red? Someone hit you? The young man's voice was a little excited, and he took a step forward.
"No, I'm fine." Lin Yu didn't look over, he didn't want the two boys to see his wolf appearance.
"You better get up, it's too cold on the ground." The young man saw Lin Yu turn his head, so he had to persuade her to get up and say more.
Lin Yu didn't squeak, he just got up neatly, fluttered his skirt, and then quickly adjusted his mood, and said as calmly as possible: "Why did this young master go and return?" ”
"I just wanted to go back and tell you that in the future, I will go to Linjiagou every two days to buy forty snacks. I just didn't expect to see you here before I entered the market. ”
"Oh!" Lin Yu straightened the hair on his face, "Yes!" Just don't know if you have any special requirements for pastries? ”
"Four or five, the girl is free to do whatever she wants. It would be great if there was something new. ”
"Oh, no problem." Lin Yu's voice was cold, and even the habitual smile was very reluctant.
"Then I'll give you the money first. In case I can't go because of something, I won't teach the girl to work hard in vain. ”
Lin Yugang wanted to say that there was no need for this, but when he thought of the Sun family, he still said: "Since this young master has a heart, then I will be cheaper, and I will only charge fifty wen each time." ”
"Tianxing, give money!" The boy said with a smile.
It turned out that the boy's name was Skystar.
Taking the money, Lin Yu asked, "I don't know what this young master is called?" It is also more convenient to be proportionate in the future. ”
"My name is Jing Hao!"
Bidding farewell to Jing Hao, Lin Yu sorted out his face and mood again, and walked to the market and his stall.
It was almost noon, and the stalls were closed in various places.
"Sister, where have you been? If you don't come back, I'm going to look for you!" Lin Xue's voice was very gentle, as if it could soothe sorrow. If the Erkui family could be like Lin Xue and generously ask her how to make money, how could she be slapped by the Sun family today!
Lin Yu clenched his fists, bit his lower lip, hesitated, and said to Daquan: "Big brother, I just went out to see who is selling pastries, I, I saw it, Erkui." ”
"Huh?" Lin Xue exclaimed.
"Is that him? How could he-? Daquan was also very surprised.
"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Erkui's daughter-in-law came to me and said that the children in the family wanted to eat pastries, and asked me to teach her. I thought, since the child likes it, let's teach her. It's just that I didn't-"
Daquan frowned, and even breathed faster. But after a while, it calmed down again. I didn't say anything more, just continued to clean up the stall.
I thought that there would be a lot of pastries left today, but Jing Hao took some of them, and the Ding family took some more, and there were only thirty or forty left, and Lin Yu wrapped them all in Lin Xue.
Daquan returned the table, and gave Lin Xue 200 yuan, and sent her to the little donkey cart back to Wangjiagou.
"Your sister-in-law doesn't know how long it will take to come back, let's go to the market and wait for her later."
Daquan was silent for a long time at the entrance of the bazaar, and said: "Your sister-in-law and younger siblings don't deal with each other. ”
Lin Yu didn't expect Daquan to talk to her about this stubble, but she was also very curious about it, so she stopped her movements and looked at Daquan.
"When you went to Beijing, my father and mother helped me marry your sister-in-law with the money given by the yamen. It's not easy, her family asked for five hangs, which was all the money given by the yamen. As a result, in order to marry her two younger brothers, your sister-in-law's family insisted on bringing back half a dozen money to your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law also cried and made trouble, you say, isn't this just selling your daughter? made your sister-in-law so angry that she broke off her relationship with her mother's family after she got married. She didn't dare to tell my father and mother, for fear of being angry, so she only told me. But what can I do? If you marry all of them, can you still return them for the four and a half copper coins? If you don't complain, you can't get by! ”
"Later, when Erkui reached the age of saying goodbye, the family had no money, so my mother asked us to borrow three hangs, so that Erkui had a worth. All the money earned by the family was handed over to my father, and when I sent (after the funeral and buried) my father, the money was all spent, and the whole family looked at the pockets of both of us, and looked at me to take the money out. But where do we get the money? Later, my mother knew that there was a big man in Wangjiagou who sold baskets, and when he was old, he couldn't talk about his daughter-in-law, so she came up with the trick of changing relatives. ”
"After all, the whole family thought that I had money and didn't go out, and they all thought that I was the boss who didn't talk like it, and the little sister was angry, but they didn't say anything else, how to arrange it! So it's no wonder that both families spoil her. And the younger siblings are different, I heard that when they were in their parents' house, they had to die or live, and they were all forced into the donkey cart by the family. But after she came, she was quiet and had a good personality. Erkui cherishes this hard-won daughter-in-law very much, and is obedient to her daughter-in-law. The mother understands her and treats her well. ”
"At that time, your sister-in-law was pregnant with her second child, and my mother followed me and Erkui to farm, and Erkui's daughter-in-law was a bride and couldn't go to work in the field for the first month, so she stayed at home with your sister-in-law. But before noon, someone came to sue us, saying that your sister-in-law's child had fallen. Your sister-in-law said that Erkui's daughter-in-law deliberately kicked a wooden stick at her feet, and Erkui's daughter-in-law said that your sister-in-law didn't watch the road herself, and she didn't do such a thing. After all, it was a family, knocked out the tooth and swallowed it in the stomach, and the matter passed like this, but then our relationship became worse and worse. You didn't come back when you reached the age of leaving the palace, and your mother said, maybe you just died, plus the family was always noisy, and my mother fell ill. Before my mother could do it, she divided the family. The house belongs to me, and all the money belongs to Erkui. The fertile fields under the mountain were given to Erkui, and the land on the mountains was all stones. ”
"When sending the mother, the two families are divided. But all the money was given to Erkui, and we had nothing. So we not only took out the little money we had, but also asked others to borrow a lot. Daquan sighed and said, "It's been a few years, and when you come back, I also want to be a family and get along well, but it's too much for them to do this this time!" What a life this is! How can you still pit your own family! ”
After speaking, Daquan slammed his fist on the table.
