Chapter 33 The Lin family that has changed the sky
The matter was settled, and the next day Lin Zhen asked someone to find a few men who worked neatly to get the foundation and blue bricks and tiles.
The green brick is said to be a brick, but it is actually similar to a stone, and a heavy piece is not good, but the tile is no different from that of later generations.
Lin Xiaowan asked Father Lin about the embroidery yesterday, and Lin Zhen said that he didn't know either.
Lin Zhen's eldest brother is also Lin Xiaowan's uncle-Lin Tang, who worked as a partner in Fengxianglou in the county, and now he is also a small shopkeeper.
Lin Zhen sent the embroidery work done by the Liu family every month, and Lin Tang paid him according to the quantity.
So there are many tricks, and what tricks they have, he doesn't know very well.
Lin Xiaowan is quite curious about this eldest uncle, after passing through for so long, she has seen the Lin family up and down, but this legendary eldest uncle has never seen it once.
Even on the day she got married, Lin Tang didn't come back. Usually the Li family is home alone.
Lin Zhen still respects this big brother very much, and when he talks about Lin Tang, his tone is full of envy and respect. He told his daughter that he had been able to save this bit of silver for so many years because of the fact that her eldest uncle had a way in Fengxiang Tower, so he bought Liu's embroidery work at a high price.
Lin Xiaowan was noncommittal, thinking about the urine nature of the Lin family, she was skeptical of the "kind" uncle in her father's mouth, and she had to see it in person to know.
The Liu family wanted to build a house on the edge of the village, and the news that they were still building a brick house soon spread throughout the village.
Every day, a group of idle people go to stand around the Guo family's land and talk.
"Lin Zhen and his family have made a fortune, I'm afraid it's a lot of separation."
"Isn't it, or else you can build a house? Or a brick house! ”
"Oh, there are few brick houses in our village!"
"If you want me to say, it's still the Zhou family who treats the couple too harshly, otherwise she can still live in this brick house after it is built."
"Oops, you deserve it!"
Most people are still very friendly, after all, everyone has known about the separation of the Lin family for so many days, it is not the fault of Lin Zhen and his family, after so many years of neighborhood, the people in the village still know about them.
But there are also good things, envy and jealousy say sour things.
"Hey, the second son of the Lin family is now rich and doesn't care about the old lady, your old lady is still lying in bed and can't move. It's really unfilial! ”
"That's it, I'm still separated from my father, and there are few families in our village. It's like our family has four generations in the same house, which is really evil. ”
"Hey Lin Zhen's family, your family will divide a lot of money this time, tell us about it."
Liu Shi looked at the group of people and scolded back unceremoniously.
"My mother-in-law, she can't move in bed, you know? Are you going to serve her so nosy? We're all busy, it's better to go back and teach your second dog well, don't beat and scold you all day long, don't be filial! ”
"Aren't there four generations in your family? There are many sons and grandchildren, just like the chickens and ducks raised by other people, and they have to queue up for half an hour in the thatched house. The chickens and dogs at home are jumping every day, which makes other people's families uneasy, but also, when you are older, you like your children to be under the knees, isn't it, a handful of old bones are not tossed for a day. ”
"How much money does our family share to do your? Why don't you go to Lin's house and ask my mother-in-law? If you have this time, you can go to the field and shoot two handfuls of pig grass, and even if you don't eat it, you can feed the chickens! ”
Lin Xiaowan listened to it on the side, and she found that since the quarrel with the Zhou family, her mother can now say that she is fighting with women, and her mouth is fierce day by day.
People say that beating people doesn't slap their faces, scolding people doesn't expose their shortcomings, and her mother pokes where the pain is.
Watching the lively daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law being ridiculed, their faces were a little unbearable.
"Xiaowan, mother, we didn't mean that, we just said it casually."
The Liu family didn't play those tricks with them, and they blocked people in a few words.
"How do I know what you mean, you Balabala give me a horn, I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, I have to figure out which fart you put today? If it's okay, go home early and rest, I'm still busy if you're not busy. ”
Liu is really busy, she doesn't have time to deal with these people all day long.
The men who were invited to work went to collect materials to lay the foundation, and she and Lin Xiaowan helped to get started, and they had to take care of a meal at noon, and the embroidery work they were busy with in the past few days was done at night.
At the end of the day, several people were tired and had back pain, especially Lin Zhen, who went back to sleep with his head upside down. When he was working, Father Lin was more energetic than the hired people, and he kept his head silent, Lin Xiaowan knew that his father was still unhappy, this was to numb himself.
Liu felt sorry for his man, so he pulled him to drink a few sips of water and rest after a while.
Guo Chengling has been running into the mountains every day for the past few days, and when Lin Xiaowan woke up early in the morning, he had already left, and he didn't come back until it was dark, and every time he came back, he could bring back a few prey.
In the whole family, she is the most idle one, the injury on her back is not good, Liu stopped her from working more, she was on the side to help deliver things or something, very idle.
When Lin Xiaowan's family was in full swing, the Zhou family could be said to be gloomy. Old man Lin and his wife had a big fight that day, and the two had a lot of weather.
Lin Xiaodie went back to her house that day, just kidding, Zhou is now lying on the bed waiting for someone to serve, and Old Man Lin is an uncle who doesn't bring support when the broom falls, didn't he stay and wait to work?
The Liu family was divided at once, which made the Li family miserable. In the hall, Zhou and his father-in-law were lying on the bed waiting to eat ready-made, and she did all the work in the house alone.
In the past, Liu was at home, cutting grass, feeding chickens and pigs, watering and carrying water to the vegetable field, cooking, washing clothes, and cleaning.
Just carrying water and cooking is enough for her to be busy, Li hasn't worked for a long time, and in just two days, a hand of water has been grinding out on her hands, and her ten fingers are even her heart, and she doesn't dare to touch it.
Zhou and Old Man Lin were still not satisfied, picking and choosing, especially Zhou, who was difficult to serve, scolded her for the discord of food, scolded her for starving the pigs and chickens in the yard, and scolded her even for sweeping the floor without sprinkling water.
The Li family has been scolded in the past few days as much as the previous year, and his heart is miserable. scolded the Zhou family half to death, blaming this old pious woman for beating away the second room and family, so that she still had to suffer this crime.
She also heard about Lin Zhen building a house, she was jealous and hateful, jealous that the second room was out of the sea of misery and now living a good life, hating them for not knowing how to honor their parents, and they had to separate the family and took away so much money from the family.
When I remembered what my father-in-law said that day, Li's flesh hurt! Seventy taels of silver, she didn't know that the old pious woman had so much money in her hands! Zhou's usual hiding is really tight, and there is no leakage at all, usually seeing her so picky, Li thought that she only had a dozen taels of silver in her hand at most. I didn't expect it to be a hundred and ten taels! It's better to buy her more delicious food and drink, it's cheap for the Liu family!
Because of the seventy taels of silver, Zhou's was still angry, and that day she heard the old man Lin say about the silver after reading her waist, and she fainted on the spot.
woke up and scolded the Liu family, scolding the Liu family for taking advantage of the fire to rob, and scolding the old man Lin for being a "useless wreck", Liu said that he would really give it if he wanted it.
Old man Lin was also angry, if it weren't for this stinky woman's trouble, their family would be fine, they wouldn't have lost such an adult, and they wouldn't have had such a big blood.
Lin Fu didn't dare to go out these days, he used to go out for a walk after eating, these days he was cowering at home, cigarettes were smoking, no need to think about him, he knew what the people in the village would say about him when he went out.
However, Zhou's ears were still scolding and scolding, and new hatred and old hatred came to his heart together, and Old Man Lin rushed into the house and gave Zhou a slap.
"You're yelling at your mother's legs? It's not all made by you, a ruined. The stinky woman with shallow eyelids, if you weren't greedy for Xiaowan's idea, would they be able to break up with Lao Tzu? You still have the face to call Lao Tzu! Call Lao Tzu to kill you loser again! ”
Old man Lin gasped, his head was full of green muscles, and his eyes showed a fierce light. Zhou was stunned, she was lying on the bed now that she was not in a good position, she didn't dare to argue with men anymore, she covered her face and cried silently, hating and angry in her heart.
Li Shi picked up the blisters in her hand while listening to the movement of the hall with her ears, she was used to such things these days.
Old man Lin slapped Zhou to relieve his anger, and went back to his house to smoke, Zhou cried and called Li in the hall without stopping.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, where are you dead? Get out of here! ”
Li Shi thought about it with his toes and knew that it was not good for his mother-in-law to call herself past at this time, and she was not stupid, so she didn't go.
Just when he was not at home, he couldn't hear Zhou's call.
She slammed the door when she came back just now, and no matter how capable she is now, she has to take care of her old waist and can't stand it.
Zhou jumped to his feet angrily, and shouted for a long time and no one came.
She tore open the broken gong and scolded
"Li, you are a deflated calf, you bully the old lady like this while the old lady can't get out of bed now, you see how the old lady is going to clean up your little slut! The stinky woman who killed a thousand knives, when my son comes back, I won't let him beat you to death as an unfilial little prostitute! ”
As soon as Old Man Lin cleared up for a while, he heard Zhou shouting there again, opened the curtain and scolded Zhou:
"Call your grandma's legs!"
Zhou was so frightened that she shrank to the head of the bed, and the beatings she had received in the past few days made her scared when she saw her man.
Old man Lin felt a lot more comfortable when he saw her like this, and said fiercely with a dark face:
"Don't let Lao Tzu hear you shouting again, otherwise the big-eared melon seeds will kill you!"
Zhou nodded again and again, his eyes full of fear, obviously afraid of this irritable husband.
Li wrapped his injured finger in his room, so he didn't care how noisy it was in the hall, and thought to himself.
Anyway, I'll go back to my parents' house tomorrow, and the old pious woman loves to serve whoever she wants!
