Chapter 97
Lin Zhiyun's family celebrates the New Year and is happy, although they occasionally think of some unpleasant past, but the overall atmosphere is very happy. However, on the other hand, Lin Qinghe's family did not have such a relaxed and happy New Year.
Because Lin Xiuyue couldn't borrow money before, the Xu family couldn't have a good year this year. Although the previous years were not very good, but this year, the Xu family has lived a good life for most of the time, and the Tu family has gradually squandered it, looking at the existing things of the Xu family, it is not pleasing to the eye, and finally simply took his son and daughter-in-law to Lin Qinghe's house to celebrate the New Year. The reason is also high-sounding, saying that as long as Lin Qinghe will not ignore his daughter, when the girl has no money for the New Year, of course he will take the noble daughter.
Lin Qinghe loves his daughter and is well-known in the village, Lin Qinghe also likes this reputation very much, and he doesn't plan to give up for the time being. In fact, he did feel sorry for his daughter, and he drove his daughter out of the house with Tu's family, mainly because Tu was there.
If it weren't for Tu's presence, Lin Xiuyue would come to the door to ask for money, and Lin Qinghe would give more than a dozen taels of silver. But this is a few taels of silver, he will let his daughter hide it, just buy a little bit of what he needs to eat, and he must not hand over the money to Tu or Xu Bowen again. The mother and son usually seem to be thrifty and thrifty, but they all spend money lavistly, and they don't care about the hard work of those who make money. It can be said that Lin Qinghe is already very dissatisfied with Xu Jia, if it weren't for the fact that his daughter and divorce would be ridiculed for remarrying this year, Lin Qinghe would have wanted to take Lin Xiuyue back directly.
At that time, the Tu family was there, and Lin Qinghe had had enough of the Xu family's lion opening his mouth, and he knew that it was they who gave money again and again that would raise the appetite of the Xu family's mother and son. If they continue to give money in front of the Tu family, then the Tu family will definitely think that their Lin family is very rich, and then continue to reach out to them every day to ask for money. Lin Qinghe was terrified at the thought of this possibility, so he spoke to Lin Xiuyue much more heavily than usual.
Fortunately, Lin Xiuyue also understood the difficulties at home, and did not become separated from her mother's family because of this.
In fact, it was not entirely because she understood the difficulties of her mother's family, but because she smelled the fragrance of fat powder on Xu Bowen's clothes that did not belong to her. What's even more terrifying is that when Lin Xiuyue helped Xu Bowen sort out the luggage he brought back, she found a silk flower brought by a woman in Xu Bowen's box. The silk flowers are very exquisitely made, and the material is also good, much better than the one used to sell for money when Lin Zhiyun commented. And the picture of the silk flower is not common, but a blooming daffodil.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiuyue turned out a handkerchief in the box, and the handkerchief also had a strong fat powder fragrance, which was the taste of daffodils, and the handkerchief was also embroidered with daffodils, and the corner of the handkerchief was also embroidered with the word Lingbo.
Lin Xiuyue couldn't come back to her senses for a long time when she looked at those things, and she could guess from the silk flowers, handkerchiefs, and fat powder incense that the original owners of these things were either very fond of daffodils or named Ling Bo.
If you just like daffodils, it's fine, if it's called Ling Bo, it's not good, Lin Xiuyue thinks that Ling Bo is weird like the flower name of a woman in the Qinglou, if there is really such a girl named Ling Bo, doesn't it mean that Xu Bowen went to the female ticket girl?
If Xu Bowen just met a woman from a good family who likes daffodils in Jiangnan, although she was unhappy, she thought that Jiangnan was far away from this place and could not be contacted in the future, Xu Bowen Yiran was still her alone. And if it is just a woman from a good family, no matter how ridiculous Xu Bowen is, it is impossible to directly smash two hundred and fifty taels of silver on a woman from a good family.
But if it's a female ticket girl......
Lin Xiuyue had no way to accept that Xu Bowen took their Lin family's money to go to the female ticket Nuchang, and it was not easy for their Lin family to save so much money. When she got the two hundred and fifty taels of silver back from the Lin family, although she took it happily, it was the gift money that the Lu family gave to Lin Luoxing, and Lin Luoxing couldn't bring all the gift money to the Ru family, so he was already a little embarrassed. If people know that half of Lin Luoxing's gift money was taken by his brother-in-law to the female ticket for Nuchang, then there would be no place for the faces of their Lin family.
Lin Xiuyue was trembling with anger at the time, but she didn't dare to break her face with Xu Bowensi. Their Lin family is already learning Mandarin, and they have spent so much money on their bodies, wouldn't it be too much of a loss to leave without getting any reward back? So Lin Xiuyue closed the box not long after opening it, pretending that she had never touched those things, nor had she helped Xu Bowen clean up, and just wanted to find an opportunity to go back to Lin's house to ask what should be done about this matter. As a result, when Xu Bowen came back, he found that Lin Xiuyue didn't help him clean up his things, and he lost his temper. Lin Xiuyue didn't want to quarrel with him, so she could only look at Xu Bowen coldly. When Xu Bo heard her like this, he was even more angry, and he kept scolding her, scolding and scolding before he reacted, and there were still things in his box that Miss Lingbo gave him, so he finally stopped.
Lin Xiuyue saw his reaction at that time, how could she not know what he was thinking, so she was even more disheartened with Xu Bowen. She and her mother tried their best to use all means at the beginning, and in the end, did they dream of such a heartless thing?
Lin Xiuyue regretted it a little when she thought of what happened at the beginning, she knew that she would not change her relatives at the beginning, so it was better to withdraw the marriage with Shen Junchuan directly. Although the reputation of disliking the poor and loving the rich is a little ugly, but now their family's reputation is not as good as disliking the poor and loving the rich.
Look at Lin Zhiyun again, how nourishing life is now, although Shen Junchuan is not angry, he will not squeeze his daughter-in-law's mother's family! Lin Xiuyue still dislikes Shen Junchuan for being unproductive, but he doesn't want Lin Zhiyun to marry Shen Junchuan now. If she hadn't changed her relatives and let Lin Zhiyun marry Xu Bowen as promised, then Lin Zhiyun would be the only one who needs to suffer now. As far as Tu's temperament is concerned, exploiting people is much more powerful than Lin Qinghe and Wang's, if the person who married Lin Zhiyun was Lin Zhiyun, Lin Zhiyun would definitely be worse now than when he was in Lin Qinghe's house, then Lin Xiuyue would be much happier. It's a pity that life is not known early, and there are not so many ifs.
Although it is useless to regret it, Lin Xiuyue always can't help but think that if she had found someone else to marry, for example, a family like the Lu family that only has money and no power, then life should be much better than now, at least she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and she doesn't have to lick her face all day long to go out and borrow money from others.
However, instead of complaining about how good Lin Zhiyun is doing now and how bad he is now, it is more important to quickly solve the matter between Xu Bowen and that Lingbo girl. Lin Xiuyue was trying to find a reason, but the Tu family dragged him and Xu Bowen to Lin Qinghe's house, but Lin Xiuyue was very happy.
However, Lin Qinghe's family was not so happy.
For example, Lin Qinghe and the Wang family usually love Lin Xiuyue's daughter very much, but when they were eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, it was very disappointing to be suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door. However, compared to being interrupted from eating, it was even more disappointing to see my daughter's family preparing to come up to fight the autumn breeze as soon as I opened the door.
When he opened the door and saw Tu's face, Lin Qinghe looked at Lin Xiuyue's eyes with a little dissatisfaction. At that moment, Lin Qinghe only felt that this daughter had been in vain for so many years, and she didn't have any eyesight to say it, and she actually brought her mother-in-law and husband up to fight the autumn breeze during the New Year.
When Lin Xiuyue saw her father's eyes, she knew what her father was thinking, and hurriedly made a color with her father, signaling that she had something to say to them in a while. The eyes were frank and open, and there was no weakness at all, Lin Qinghe felt that his daughter did not come to borrow money from him this time, so his face was a little better.
"Why did you come here for the New Year? There's still a light snow outside, so it's not easy to get along the way, right? Seeing that Lin Qinghe agreed to his daughter's entry into the door, Wang quickly took off the coat he was wearing and put it on Lin Xiuyue, and said distressedly, "My good daughter, you're not frozen, are you?" ”
It turned out that the polite words in front were mainly for Lin Xiuyue, the annoying daughter-in-law, and after Tu realized this fact, he was even more dissatisfied with Lin Xiuyue, thinking that how could there be such a daughter-in-law like an ancestor. Everyone came all the way, she was much older than Lin Xiuyue, she didn't even call herself cold, why is Lin Xiuyue so delicate?
And just look at the coat that Wang put on Lin Xiuyue, that thick cotton coat is worth a lot of silver, right? really has the money to buy those bells and whistles useless things, but has no money to fund his son's education, this Lin family is really ungrateful, wolf-hearted, and far worse than Lin Qingshan back then.
"Don't get used to her too much, she's still young, not afraid of the cold." Tu Shi said dissatisfied, "I told Lin Xiuyue before, our family has no money for the New Year this year, and it just so happens that my in-laws are having a good time this year, so I asked him to take us to my in-laws' house for a meal, but this girl is not happy." Since he is not happy, then the mother-in-law doesn't have to bother to entertain him, just bring anything delicious to our mother and son to eat, don't worry about this girl. ”
Tu Shi was arrogant when he said this, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all. After all, she is a mother-in-law, and she has absolute privileges in front of her daughter-in-law. And the Tu family has always felt that the girl of the Lin family is not worthy of his son, if it weren't for the fact that their family had no money for a while, they would not marry the daughter of a rich man in the countryside, not to mention that with the Lin family's family background, even the rich man of the land is not counted.
This is what the Lin family requires their Xu family to do in the future, so no matter what requirements their Xu family has now, the Lin family should try their best to meet them.
