Chapter 186: The Xu Family (1)
When Lin Chengzhi returned home, he only saw Chunfen and Rudie, but did not see Zhang and his two sons.
"Rudie, where is your mother?"
Rudie was hopscotch, she leaned over and picked up the stones on the ground and said, "My mother took her two younger brothers to the old house, and said that she would come back later." ”
Lin Chengzhi wanted to bring Rudie over, but the child was reluctant to go. Lin Chengzhi asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”
Rudie muttered and said, "I don't want to go to the old house, I can't come back if I go." ”
Now she not only eats egg custard every day, but also eats sesame paste and meat every other day, and then her father will bring her pastries every time she comes back from the county seat. Not to mention how beautiful it is these days, unlike before, not only did there be no delicious food, but I was always beaten.
Lin Chengzhi's heart sank and asked, "Did your mother tell you?" ”
As soon as the news of Lin Chengyu's entrance examination came back, Mrs. Lin wanted him to move back in. It didn't make sense, so he began to call his mother-in-law and uncle to persuade Zhang, Zhang's ears were soft, and after hearing too much, he began to waver again.
Rudie shook her head and said, "No, it was the eldest sister who said it, and the eldest sister said that we are going to move back again?" ”
Lin Chengzhi's face was as black as charcoal.
Rudie hugged Lin Chengzhi's leg and said, "Dad, let's not move back, okay?" Dad, my eldest sister will pinch me again when I go back. Dad, it hurts. ”
Chunfen said on the side: "Master, today the eldest girl pinched the girl's arm again, and the arm was purple. ”
When I lifted her butterfly-like garment, I saw several patches of blue and purple on her arms.
Lin Chengzhi was so angry that he scolded Chunfen: "What are you doing to eat, why are you bullying Rudie by her?" ”
Chunfen hung her head and didn't dare to say anything.
Rudie said: "Dad, don't scold Sister Chunfen. She stopped the eldest sister, but the eldest sister called the second aunt to come. The second aunt beat Sister Chunfen up, and she beat it badly. ”
Wei likes to beat and scold people, and Chunfen was often beaten and scolded by her when she was in the Lin family. Chunfen is honest, no matter how painful it is, she doesn't dare to complain, just endure it silently. Fortunately, since she came out with Lin Chengzhi Zhang, her life has been much better. Although Lin Chengzhi is short-tempered, he will not beat people, and at most he will scold two sentences.
Rudie looked at Lin Chengzhi's dark face and was a little scared, and said cautiously: "Dad, let's not go back, okay?" ”
Lin Chengzhi said: "Don't worry, they have already separated and will not go back." ”
Not only Ru Die, but even Chunfen was secretly relieved, she had to live a hard life again if she had to move back.
I went to the old house with Rudie in my arms, and as soon as I entered the yard, I heard a burst of laughter in the house.
Since the county commander came to congratulate him in person, the people who came to the door have not stopped in the past few days. Some of these people came to congratulate and some wanted to take refuge, but it was so lively anyway.
Rudie saw Zhang who was busy in the kitchen at a glance, and shouted: "Mother......"
Lin Chengzhi walked to the door of the kitchen, looked at Zhang with an unkind face and asked, "You are here, where are Le Wei and Le Shu?" ”
Lin Chengzhi hoped that his two sons could become scholars in the future, so the younger son was named Leshu.
Mrs. Lin was very happy to have a grandson, but she was reluctant to take care of Zhang's confinement. Lin Chengzhi didn't ask her, and went directly to invite his mother-in-law to help.
Because Dr. He said before that Zhang's body was suffering from severe losses and needed to be taken care of, Lin Chengzhi let her sit for a month and a half of confinement. A few days ago, Zhang's confinement was born.
Zhang said with a smile: "In the house, my mother is taking care of my mother and Qi's mother!" ”
Lin Chengzhi said unhappily: "Mother and Mother Qi are old, how can they take care of the two children." ”
Zhang was stunned.
Lin Chengzhi said angrily: "Who are you competing with here?" Why don't you hurry into the house and take the child. ”
If it was a year ago, the Zhang family might have hesitated, but since moving out, Lin Chengzhi has been in charge of everything at home. Hearing what he said, Zhang began to untie his apron.
Webster was reluctant and said, "How can I cook the food of so many people alone." ”
In the past, Gu Xian would come back if there was something at home, and with Chen's mother helping them to work, it was very easy for Wei. But now she does everything alone, and she sleeps in bed every day when she is tired and has a sore back, so that the relationship between husband and wife is now a lot colder.
Lin Chengzhi didn't shake his face this time, after all, the Lin family is coming and going now: "It's just a meal for six people, how can you not do it?" ”
After saying that, he carried Rudie into the house, and Zhang quickly followed when he saw this.
When Mrs. Lin saw Lin Chengzhi alone, her face was not good-looking: "Isn't that evil obstacle still not coming back?" ”
In fact, this time Lin Chengzhi went to the county seat to quit his job, and Mrs. Lin instructed him to bring Qingshu and An An back. However, Lin Chengzhi took these words as the wind in his ears, and he didn't feel at ease at all.
Lin Chengzhi invited the people in the house to go back, and asked the Zhang family to take the children out, and then said to Mrs. Lin: "Mother, the whereabouts of the sister-in-law are unknown, and Qingshu's grandmother is seriously ill, and she is having a bad time these days. When I saw her, her eyes were bloodshot and she was so thin. ”
Old Mrs. Lin said coldly: "Isn't the Gu family a lot of maids? Let the maid take care of it, what do you want her to do with a girl staying there? ”
Lin Chengzhi couldn't be clearer about Mrs. Lin's temperament: "Mother, sister-in-law's whereabouts are unknown now, and we will now forcibly bring Qingshu and An An back, and outsiders will gossip if they know it." ”
"Afraid of what? Qingshu is the child of my Lin family, and it is only natural for her to return to the Lin family. ”
Lin Chengyu was admitted to the Jinshi, and the popularity of everyone made Mrs. Lin float, and now she no longer takes Mrs. Gu in her eyes.
Lin Chengzhi knew what the old lady cared about the most, and said, "Mother, when the old lady Gu recovers from her illness, we will pick up Qingshu and come back with An An, and no one can say anything." But if we pick it up now, others will say that we are cold-blooded and ruthless. Mother, the Lin family is going to change their doors now, but they can't leave this handle behind! ”
Old Lady Lin snorted and said, "Then let her stay in the Gu family for a few more days." ”
Wait for this stinky girl to come back and see how to treat her.
Lin Chengzhi remembered Qingshu's words, and talked to Mrs. Gu about Lingquan Temple: "Mother, speaking of the Bodhisattva of Lingquan Temple, it is really good, I am going to worship in two days." ”
After going to Lingquan Temple to incense, not only the eldest son was admitted to the Jinshi, but the second son was also admitted to Xiucai, and Mrs. Lin now respects Lingquan Temple very much.
"What are you asking for?"
Lin Chengzhi smiled and said, "Mother, I can't stay at home every day." Mother, I'm going to open my own shop, and when I make money, I'll send Le Wei to study. ”
Mrs. Lin immediately objected: "How can this work, the merchant of Shinong Industry and Commerce is the most despised." ”
Lin Chengzhi said with a smile: "Mother, I am just going to do a small business to make some small money." In this way, Le Wei will not have to be nervous about studying with Leshu in the future. Mother, I also want Le Wei to be like the eldest brother to take the fame and become an official and an ancestor! ”
After speaking, he also recalled the incident of studying when he was a child: "Back then, because our three brothers were all studying, the family couldn't eat meat a few times a year. ”
It was really bitter at that time!
