Chapter 55: Lin Tang's Statement
Lin Fu and his entourage came to see Guo Chengling this time, and seeing that the Liu family was unwilling to entertain them, Lin Tang was not embarrassed on his face, and asked with a smile: "Brother and sister, just go and get busy, don't worry." The family doesn't have to be so polite, let's go and see how Chengling is injured. ”
Liu has no good impression of this eldest brother, and he has rarely seen each other, but when this happened, his impression of him was even more impressive.
Seeing the three of them talking, they went to the house, but she couldn't hold back.
"Big brother is really joking, how can it be considered a family when the family is separated? Last time, my father also said that he didn't recognize our second room, and from now on, we will be two families, each with its own life. I'm afraid that the eldest brother has just come back, and it is not clear, so the younger brother and sister will give you a breath first, so that you don't make any jokes again. ”
"Chengling's injury is a little serious, he is sleeping at this time, there is no need to see it, this child is a little recognized."
The implication is that people are not familiar with you, so why don't you see the injury?
The three of them stopped in embarrassment, and their faces were a little unpleasant.
Liu didn't care what they thought,
"Dad and eldest brother and sister-in-law are waiting here, and the head of the house will come back later. As for the house, don't mess in, this is not the Lin family, Lin Zhen and I are just staying temporarily, we don't know what the taboos are, in case something that shouldn't be moved, if Chengling knows, he should be unhappy. ”
Lin Fu's face was gloomy when he was told by his daughter-in-law, but he also knew the reason for Liu's attitude in his heart, and he was mentally prepared when he came, and he didn't feel much angry.
Hearing this, he only responded embarrassedly: "You are busy, you are busy, we will sit here, not going anywhere, waiting for the second child to come back." ”
Liu glanced at the three of them and entered the house with the embroidered basket.
When she entered the house, she sat by the window, staring at a few people through the gap in the window, especially the Li family, afraid that they would be dishonest.
Lin Tang and Li were angry, and Liu's words were very polite, so they almost said that you are not welcome here.
But Liu walked neatly, and they couldn't say anything, so they could only sit down in the courtyard with their breath.
Li couldn't stay idle, sat down and rolled his eyes, and looked at Guo Chengling's house.
It doesn't look special, it's not much different from the Lin family, and it's not even as good as the Lin family.
This house is old, except for the room where the young couple lives and has been cleaned up, the other rooms look a little dilapidated.
Li retracted his gaze and remembered that the village said that Guo Chengling had beaten a big wild boar on the head. She had just looked around, and she had found the shadow of a wild boar.
The bloodstains left by sending the wild boar into the cellar yesterday had been cleaned up by Liu in the afternoon, and it was no longer noticeable at this time.
Although Li remembered the purpose of this time, she felt uncomfortable if she didn't say anything, so she muttered about the wild boar with her husband.
If he wanted to put it aside, Lin Tang would definitely be interested, but now his mind was full of errands, and he didn't care too much about this, seeing that the Li family was holding on to this matter inside and outside the words, he impatiently admonished: "Don't make trouble for me!" What are you doing today, you remember clearly, look at my eyes later, if it is bad for Lao Tzu's good deeds, you can weigh it yourself. ”
Li Shi stugged and defended himself: "I didn't say anything, I'm just a little curious, if you don't like it, I won't say it." ”
Lin Fu closed his eyes and recuperated, completely unaware of the movement of the two, he was still a little nervous about the first meeting after the father and son separated from each other.
When Lin Xiaowan came in, it was the Li family who saw that the Liu family was going to cook, and they either wanted to help her, or they were unwilling to reject her.
Lin Xiaowan raised her feet and came in, and the first thing she saw was the Li family who was pulling and pulling with the Liu family. She subconsciously shouted: "Let go of my mother!" ”
Lin Tang and Lin Fu were about to persuade the Li family to let go, but they were frightened by Lin Xiaowan's loud shout.
Li Shi was also stunned for a moment, and Liu Shi took advantage of her not to react, snatched the basin and held it in his arms, and said in a bad tone: "Don't dare to work sister-in-law, I'm busy myself." Lin Zhen is back, don't you have something to say, go ahead. ”
The Li family was extremely embarrassed, and Lin Xiaowan's shout was the same as what happened to her.
"Huh. It's okay, my sister-in-law is just afraid that you will be tired, so I want to come and share some burden for you. Look at Xiaowan, this child, what a fuss, this blue sky and white day, how can I brother and sister you can't do it. ”
Liu didn't answer, looked at her coldly, and went into the kitchen.
Lin Zhen followed his daughter in, and when he saw this scene, he was also a little flustered, standing at the door with a backpack on his back and not knowing what to say.
Lin Xiaowan was the first to react and sneered, "When I came in, I saw that the eldest aunt was dragging my mother and didn't let go, I have learned from the past, how can I not misunderstand." ”
Without waiting for the Li family to fight back, she immediately pointed the finger at Lin Tang: "Yo, it's enough to live." Uncle is reflecting on his repentance, and he plans to compensate for his greed for my father's sweat and money over the years? ”
At the mention of this, the audience fell silent, and Lin Zhen's expression became cold.
He walked into the courtyard and said hello to Lin Fu, "Dad." ”
didn't look at Lin Tang and his wife, walked to the corner with a cold face and put down the back basket.
Lin Fu followed his youngest son and answered, but he didn't know how to speak.
Lin Tang simply hated this sharp-toothed niece to death, and when they met twice, they made him deflated twice.
made Li suffer a dumb loss first, and when he turned his head, he directly gave him an ugly look, blocking all the opening remarks in his stomach.
"What is Xiao Wan talking about, it was really a misunderstanding that day, I didn't know it, and I was cheated by Shopkeeper Lin."
Lin Tang adjusted his mentality and took out the prepared rhetoric.
He knew that this niece was afraid that it would be difficult to fool, so he turned to only attack Lin Zhen, "Second brother, you know the eldest brother and me best." Am I the one who can do such a thing of losing all my conscience? Our brothers have grown up together since childhood, going up the mountain to hunt pigweed together, fishing and catching shrimp in the river together, working in the field to harvest wheat together, you should know best what kind of person I am, second brother. ”
Sure enough, Lin Zhen's expression was a little moved, his mouth squirmed, and he was silent again, but his complexion eased a lot.
Lin Zhen didn't let go of his reaction, seeing that there seemed to be a drama, he continued to take the sensational route.
"Second brother, we were born and raised by a father, and when we were young, the children in the village fought, and we all worked together to the outside world. How nice we were back then. When we grow up, although we brothers can no longer go around together like before, our brotherly feelings are still the same. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought about you and my younger siblings when I was working. ”
"Think about it, no matter how greedy the eldest brother is, he can't do such a thing as blackening your and your younger siblings' money with a clear conscience! It's all Lin shopkeepers, I didn't know that my brother and sister's handkerchiefs were so valuable, and every time he set the price, how could I be such a big master? It's all the shopkeeper Lin who deceived and deceived his superiors and subordinates, did this kind of thing, and used me as a shield. I didn't know he was so black-hearted, and I was kept in the dark. Something happened, and the shopkeeper Lin pushed everything on my head, and gave me up immediately, I understood that I was the scapegoat he was looking for. ”
He pretended to wipe away his tears, and his voice was a little choked.
"I know that you don't believe what the eldest brother says now, and it is also the eldest brother who believes the wrong person, causing you and your younger siblings to lose such a large amount of silver. Big brother knows the bitterness in your heart, and big brother doesn't force you. Alas, my father and I came here this time just to see how Chengling was injured. The separation of the family was a moment of confusion for my father and mother, I was not at home at the time, and I was unable to help persuade our father and mother. ”
He looked at Lin Zhen and smiled with relief, but his expression was a little hurt.
"Originally, my eldest brother was worried that you and your younger siblings would not have a good time, and they would not be able to eat well at home or sleep well these days. When I came here today and saw that you and your younger siblings were doing well, my eldest brother was relieved. Big brother is just worried about you, nothing else. ”
Lin Tang clearly knew what kind of character his younger brother was, and he also knew where his weakness was, and he knew even more how to say it to make him soft-hearted.
Lin Tang first played a wave of emotional cards for Lin Zhen, taking Lin Zhen to recall his previous brotherly feelings, and then portraying himself as a substitute ghost who was pushed out by the shopkeeper Lin without knowing it, and finally pretended to care about a wave, and also retreated into advance, which was pitiful.
Lin Xiaowan had to applaud him for this routine, this acting is amazing, big brother dei, the Oscar statuette should be given to you, this wave of whitewashing is okay.
Lin Zhen had already believed eight points at this time, and his expression was not as cold as at the beginning, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
After Lin Tang finished speaking, he turned around, lowered his head and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, then turned his head and forced out a smile.
"Since the second brother doesn't welcome the eldest brother, then the eldest brother will go back first, if there is anything in the future, even if you come to me, whether you still recognize me as the eldest brother or not, we are all a family. I can't write two Lin characters with one stroke, we are brothers of the same clan and clan, and the eldest brother will never harm you. ”
After speaking, he didn't look at Lin Zhen's reaction, greeted Li, and turned around and walked out, "Dad, Qiao'er, let's go." ”
Li and Lin Fu looked at each other, Lin Fu didn't want to leave, he still had something to say to his youngest son, but Lin Tang didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and he was going to tell him to leave as soon as the horn was over.
He also saw that now was not a good time to speak, even if he was a little reluctant to leave, he still got up, took two steps, and couldn't help but turn around, glanced at Lin Zhen fixedly, and spoke in a trembling voice.
"Second child, I was old and confused that day, I have wronged you and your daughter-in-law over the years, my father can't stand you, and I don't have the face to let you forgive your mother. Dad didn't mean anything else this time, he just wanted to see you, you go, Dad's heart is always empty. As the old saying goes, it smells far away and smells like it smells, and I don't think it's anything in front of me in the past. After you left in the past two days, Dad realized what he had done. ”
Unlike Lin Tang, Lin Fu's repentance is much more true than his.
Lin Zhen was already soft-hearted, and when he heard Lin Fu's words again, he couldn't bear it.
The seven-foot man, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he choked up and shouted: "Dad!" Eldest brother! ”
