As soon as he walked out of the house, Ma Duocai said to Lin Chengzhi: "Third brother, you can help me persuade Xiaoxiao!" ”

Hearing that Lin Chengyu was admitted to the Jinshi examination, his father and mother asked their husband and wife to come to say hello, but Chen Xiaoxiao was unwilling to live or die.

Ma Duocai actually knew that Chen Xiaoxiao had hatred in his heart and didn't want to recognize the people of the Lin family. But the Lin family saw that it was about to develop, and they had to admit it if they didn't want to.

In fact, the Ma family went to the Chen family to hire after receiving the news of Lin Chengyu's promotion that day. They felt that Chen Xiaoxiao was the daughter of the Lin family, although they didn't recognize it, they broke the bones and connected the tendons, and this bloodline could not be broken. Unexpectedly, Lin Chengyu was admitted to the Jinshi in two years, which was really unexpected.

Lin Chengzhi nodded: "Xiaoxiao, you go out with me to talk!" ”

There was no room for him here, so he had to go outside and talk.

The brother and sister walked to a no-man's corner, and Lin Chengzhi said, "Xiaoxiao, just smile when you come back." You look like this, my mother will be unhappy when she sees it. ”

How could Chen Xiaoxiao laugh, she said hatefully: "Third brother, she has not had a trace of remorse until now. ”

Since he knew that the Lin family lived in a big mansion and good land, Chen Xiaoxiao had hatred in his heart. If she is too poor to raise a child and give her away, she has no complaints. But she can obviously afford to raise her, just because she believes that the fairy woman said that she will overcome her three brothers and give her away, she can't forgive.

Lin Chengzhi said: "Don't think about the past, it's useless to think too much, just live a good life in the future." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao burst into tears, and said while crying: "Third brother, I don't understand, why did I end up with such a cold-blooded and ruthless mother? ”

Ma Duocai is not only lame, but also very short, and has pockmarks on his face, which woman is willing to marry such a man. Not to mention that Chen Xiaoxiao looks like a flower, I don't know how many people have come to ask for relatives since he grew up, and there are many young people who are handsome and handsome from good families. But the bride price demanded by the Chen family and his wife was too high, and everyone was scared away.

Knowing that the couple surnamed Chen were going to promise him to Ma Duocai, Chen Xiaoxiao ran back to the Lin family in despair and asked Mrs. Lin for help, but unfortunately Mrs. Lin didn't want to care.

Lin Chengzhi persuaded: "What's the use of thinking about this again? Xiaoxiao, people have to look forward. You come back to see them more often, and if you don't like them, come to me. Go home more often, and the Ma family won't dare to give you a look at it anymore. ”

Chen Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears and said, "Third brother, thank you." ”

Of the three brothers, only Lin Chengzhi will care about whether she is doing well, and the other two have always treated her as if she did not exist.

Chen Xiaoxiao and Ma Duocai had dinner at Lin's house, and it was already dark.

Mrs. Lin looked at Chen Xiaoxiao's face similar to Lin Chengyu, and she was also a little soft-hearted: "It's dark, don't go back tonight, let's leave tomorrow morning!"

Ma Duocai couldn't wait for it, so he should go down in one bite. As for Chen Xiaoxiao, she hung her head and didn't say anything.

After dinner, Webster knocked on the side and wanted Chen Xiaoxiao to help with the work. It's a pity that Chen Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention to her.

When the husband and wife entered the house, Ma Duocai said: "The second sister-in-law just asked you to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, why didn't you agree?" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao doesn't look down on Ma Duocai, even if he gives birth to a son, he doesn't look down on him, so he doesn't have a good face for him: "I'm not the maid of the Lin family, what do you want to do to help her, why don't you help if you are so active." ”

This is the Lin family, and Ma Duocai didn't dare to scold her, so he could only endure it.

Lin Chengzhi washed up and lay on the bed, and said to Zhang, who was doing needlework: "Qiao Niang, I will go to the county seat tomorrow to find a house, and when the house is rented, I will take you and the child to the county seat."

Zhang was taken aback: "In charge, why do you want to move to the county seat?" ”

Lin Chengzhi said: "The patriarch persuaded me to move back to the old house today, but I didn't agree. Then the patriarch told me tactfully that the house could no longer be lent to us. ”

He knew that his father must have said these words to the patriarch, and the purpose was to force him to go back. It's a pity that he would rather go to the county seat to earn a living than go back to the Lin family to be a cow and a horse.

Zhang put down the needlework and said with a sad face: "The head of the family, it costs money to drink saliva in this county." How much does it cost to eat and wear such a large family? ”

Lin Chengzhi said: "Look at how much Qingshu is like a butterfly?" Now Qingshu is literate and hyphenated, but our family is like a butterfly and doesn't know anything. ”

"How can Rudie be compared to Qingshu!"

These words deeply stimulated Lin Chengzhi, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "I know that Rudie can't be compared with Qingshu, but I don't want Rudie to be blind." We have to make good money and send Rudie to study at a girls' school in the future. ”

He can't compare to the eldest brother and the second brother, and he can't let the children fall behind them anymore.

Zhang said: "You go to the county to make money, and I will take care of the children at home." ”

Now that they have good land, they are not afraid even if the patriarch says that he will take back the house. It's a big deal to buy two thatched huts to live in, and it's not too late to build a house when you have enough money in a few days.

Lin Chengzhi didn't know if he was satisfied with the news he had inquired about. At this time, it was not easy to tell Zhang Shikai about the early shop: "If you don't take the child to the county seat, I can't even drink hot water there alone." ”

Zhang also wants the whole family to be together: "But if such a large family goes to the county seat, the cost is too great, how can they afford it!" ”

Lin Chengzhi said with a smile: "When I was penniless when I was kicked out of my house that day, I supported you. Are you still afraid that I won't be able to feed you? ”

Although Zhang was still very worried, he had to say when he saw that Lin Chengzhi had made a decision: "Okay then!" ”

It's good to return the house to save people gossiping.

When Qingshu came back from practicing, he heard the next person say that Lin Chengzhi was here.

Since the last time she heard what Qing Shu said, Mrs. Gu didn't stop her from going to see Lin Chengzhi anymore, but just said, "I'll come back for dinner after speaking." ”

Qingshu answered and went out.

Lin Chengzhi didn't beat around the bush, and when he saw Qingshu, he said to her: "I asked your grandmother yesterday, but unfortunately your grandmother doesn't know either." ”

Qingshu was a little disappointed.

Lin Chengzhi said again: "Qingshu, your grandmother guessed that it should be several uncles of the Xu family. Your grandfather is very stubborn, he never listens to what the family says, but he has always listened to the words of several uncles of the Xu family. Especially the third cousin, who has the closest relationship with your grandfather. Nine times out of ten, he said this. Not to mention the ancestors of the Xu family back then, many people in the Xu family have been admitted to the Jinshi Championship in recent years. They say that the Bodhisattva of Lingquan Temple is effective, and your grandfather will definitely believe it. ”

Qingshu also guessed like this, and asked Lin Chengzhi to inquire just to confirm this guess.

Lin Chengzhi asked cautiously, "Qingshu, what are you doing inquiring about this?" ”

"Nothing. When did the third aunt come to the county seat? When you rent a house, I will ask Aunt Xiang to teach the third aunt to make steamed buns. ”

Lin Chengzhi was overjoyed: "I'll go to see the house later, and when the house is settled, I'll pick up your third aunt and them." ”

Qingshu nodded and said, "When the third aunt moves over with Rudie, I'll go to see them." ”

Lin Chengzhi was very happy, and then his mind was hot and he told Qingshu about Chen Xiaoxiao: "Qingshu, your aunt came back yesterday. ”

"Which aunt?"

Lin Chengzhi: "It's your aunt, my sister and your father." ”

Qing Shu deliberately asked with a puzzled expression, "Aunt dear?" Why have I never heard of a grandmother having a daughter? ”

In fact, she knows Chen Xiaoxiao. However, Chen Xiaoxiao hated Mrs. Lin and returned to Lin's house very rarely. Even if she came back, she had no contact with Qingshu, so for Qingshu, Chen Xiaoxiao was no different from a stranger.

Lin Chengzhi said: "Your aunt has been held to someone else's house since she was a child, so you haven't seen it. ”

Qingshu's eyes widened, and he deliberately asked with an incredulous expression, "Why do you want to give it to someone else's house?" Can't the Lin family afford it? ”

Lin Chengzhi couldn't say that Mrs. Lin was superstitious, so she sent people away, so she had to say vaguely: "Well, the family had a hard time making a living at that time, so I took her away." ”

"Third uncle, you really make me a three-year-old child. My father and you are both studying, how can he have no money to support my aunt, it must be my grandmother who thinks my aunt is a girl and thinks she is a burden so she sent her away. ”

After a pause, Qingshu said loudly: "Third uncle, my grandmother has always hated me, did she want to give me away when she asked me to go back?" ”

Lin Chengzhi felt that his head was going to be too big: "No, how could your grandmother give you away?" ”

Qingshu said: "She gave away her own daughter, why didn't she send me and An An away?" Third uncle, I didn't dare to go back until my father came back. ”

Lin Chengzhi really felt that his brain was in water just now, otherwise why would he talk to Qingshu about this.

Qing Shu returned to the main courtyard and saw that what Lin Chengzhi said was relayed to Mrs. Gu.

Hearing those words, Old Lady Gu immediately changed her face: "Qingshu, you don't want to go out during this time." ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "Grandma, I promised the third uncle that I would go to see Rudie when she moved to the county." Grandma, you have to be true to your word. ”

After a pause, Qingshu said again: "Grandma, I know you are afraid that I am in danger. Don't worry, when I go out, I will let Sister Shen'er and Mother Liu follow me closely. ”

Liu's mother is a female dart master found by Fu Ran, who protects Qingshu's safety closely.

Old Madam Gu felt that it was not enough: "When you go out in the future, I will let Jiang Escort follow you." ”

Jiang Fangfei is not only good at martial arts and cautious, he is also a member of the Qi family. With him, outsiders will have some scruples.

Qingshu nodded and talked about Gu Xian: "Grandma, now it seems that the mastermind behind the scenes should be the Xu family." ”

Mrs. Gu nodded and said, "Well, I just don't know if it's the second child of the Xu family or the third child of the Xu family?" ”

The second eldest of the Xu family teaches in the county school, the third eldest of the Xu family is in charge of the family's business, and the eldest of the Xu family is now an official in the capital.

Qingshu said: "Grandma, I don't think it's possible for one person to do such a big thing. ”

Old Lady Gu had already guessed this, and a devouring light flashed in her eyes. Ten years ago, the Xu family used the next means to annex the Gu family's property, and now the old trick is repeated, and she is really bullied by Tang Sanniang.

Qingshu asked, "Grandma, what are you going to do?" ”

Old Lady Gu smiled: "It's not what I plan to do, but it depends on what Tang Haiwei does?" Qingshu, you don't have to take action yourself to get rid of the enemy. ”

Qingshu now knows why Old Lady Gu wanted to find Tang Hai that day, the original purpose was here.
