Chapter Thirty-Seven: Little Expert
There is still such a ruthless mother in the world, and the Lin family is sad about what happened to her uncle's family, and the listeners are in tears.
This makes the little peach who has never seen his mother and doesn't know what it feels like to have a mother, "mother" is the most terrifying person in the world, looked at Daddy Lin, and secretly thought in his heart that he must not let his father find another stepmother, his mother is so ruthless, let alone a stepmother.
Lin Mei hugged Xi'er, who was crying bitterly, and cried.
The atmosphere was too depressing, and a manly man in Shanzi couldn't help but run out after hearing it.
After a while, Father Lin spoke: "Your father entrusted you to me, and I will try my best to protect you, but after all, it is a foreign surname, no matter how bad your mother is, it is your own mother, in case she comes to the door one day and wants to take you away, I really can't keep it." ”
Lin Mei frowned when she heard this, and asked, "Is there no way around it, isn't she all given a break by her uncle." ”
"That being said, if you really want to start a lawsuit, I really don't have a rule. Unless ......" Father Lin paused and looked at Xi'er.
Xi'er just heard that her mother was coming to her, she was so frightened that she stopped crying, stared at Father Lin and listened to him, and saw that her uncle had a way, so she said directly: "Uncle, if you have any way to say it directly, I just promise, as long as you don't let me go with that black man." ”
"Don't worry, there is still a way, as long as you go to the yamen to make a record, and move you from the Wu family to my Lin family, but you will have to change your surname to Lin in the future, and you can't be surnamed Wu anymore." Father Lin was glad that Xi'er was a girl at this time, and changing her surname had little impact on her, if it was a male baby, she would have to inherit the incense of the Wu family, it would be really difficult to do, in case one day, the poisonous woman really came to the door and asked Xi'er to support her for the elderly, Xi'er really couldn't refuse, and now she took the opportunity to change her surname, and she could ignore it in the future, and no one could find a mistake.
"Okay, I'll listen to my uncle, I'll call you dad in the future, and your surname is Lin, as long as you don't sell me, let me do anything." Xi'er didn't even frown, and agreed to the matter.
It can be seen that her sister's sale had a great impact on her, and there was a shadow in her heart.
Father Lin was not ambiguous, and the next day he took Xi'er to the yamen with the household registration of the two families to go through the formalities.
Since then, there has been an extra girl on the Lin family's household registration, named Lin Xi'er.
"Sister, don't you think this will work." Xi'er showed Lin Mei the shoes she had just put in.
Since there is one more person in the family, Lin Mei is also a lot easier, Xi'er is diligent, and she has no mother since she was a child, and she has done a lot of work at home, she looks thin, but she has a lot of strength, and she is also diligent, and there is nothing to say about manual work, which is much better than Lin Mei, at least people can simply embroider a flower and embroider a fish.
The family's clothes, shoes and socks are all sorted out by Xi'er, and they also take peaches to learn embroidery.
Finally, there is no need to do needlework, Lin Mei is very happy, this needlework is too time-consuming, there is a lot of work during the day, chopping wood, carrying water, and grinding beans to make tofu, tired is not good, and at night I have to rush to buy the family's clothes, but Lin Mei is tired enough.
Now there is a little expert, not only to help make clothes, but also to help carry water and grind beans when empty, which is much less labor-saving than using peaches.
The tofu business is good, the beans are also grinded, the beans piled up at home are like a hill, the beans were milled in the Tian family before, the amount was small, and the bean dregs were not much, so I didn't ask for it, and left it to the Tian family to feed the pigs.
Now that there are more bean dregs at home and enough manpower, Lin Mei wants to raise two pigs, and there is meat to eat at home during the Chinese New Year, and there is no need to spend money to buy it.
I discussed with Father Lin, when Wu was alive, the family still raised pigs, and after Wu left, Lin Mei was too young, and she had to take Shanzi and peaches, and the pigsty was always empty.
Now that Lin Mei mentioned it, Father Lin also pondered that this idea was good, especially now that his children didn't let him go to the mountains to hunt, maybe he would rely on the family's tofu business and the three acres of paddy fields in the future, if the family could raise more pigs, it would be good, and at the end of the year, he could exchange some silver.
As if he had found a way to make money, Father Lin asked Lin Mei to go to the town and buy five pigs back that day.
Lin Mei couldn't cry or laugh when she heard this, and persuaded Daddy Lin to raise two less, but Daddy Lin's posture was too few for five, and Lin Mei didn't stop it anymore, and went to the town to buy five newly weaned piglets back.
Daddy Lin watched the five little black pigs in the pigsty grow up day by day, and his heart was full of joy, protecting him like a baby. Sometimes I have to get up in the middle of the night to check it again before I can rest assured, for fear that a fierce beast will come to the house and harm the piglets.
The days went by like this, and before I knew it, the house of the Gu family was also repaired, and a good day was set, and today was a housewarming banquet, Lin Mei prepared the tofu early and sent it to Boss Jia, and when she came back, she took the family to congratulate.
As soon as I arrived at Gu's house, I heard a quarrel.
"A group of black-hearted people, bullying honest people, while I was not at home, divided the family, and deceived twenty-five taels of silver, you pay back my family's silver." After Zhang Hehua finished speaking, he pulled Fang Laosan to search his body.
How can this be done, a sister-in-law, touched the little uncle in front of the guests, Gu Shi was also angry, and directly pulled Zhang Hehua's hair from behind, and dragged her to the ground. Riding under him, he scolded: "Stinky and shameless, what to touch, want to be a man, go and touch your man, in front of the old lady, you dare to touch, you dare to touch it again, you don't have a face, I still want to be faced, eat tofu and eat it to the uncle." I've never seen such a shameless sister-in-law like you. ”
The crowd laughed. I have all the people in the village, what kind of meat jokes have I never heard, but it is still strange for such a scene, and I don't try to persuade them, and they stand by and watch the jokes.
Zhang Lotus was confined to the ancestral hall, and she was about to stay up for a month.
Suddenly, one night I heard a cry, the voice was like a man and a woman, high or low, Zhang and Liu woke up suddenly, Zhang Lotus was bold, opened the door to check, a white shadow "whew" floated in front of her eyes, frightened her screamed, sat on the ground, crawled back to the house and closed the door, trembling into the quilt, and read in her mouth: "Bodhisattva protection, Amitabha, Bodhisattva protection, Amitabha Buddha ,......"
The tense atmosphere scared Liu Fang's enough.
After half an hour, the sound stopped, and the two lifted the quilt and breathed a sigh of relief. But after a while, a black shadow shook in front of the window, and the cry was louder than before, and the wind rustled. was so frightened that the two hugged each other and almost peed their pants in fright.
The next day, I heard Old Man Xiao open the door and say that the January period had arrived, and let everyone go home.
The two of them were so happy that they almost kowtowed to thank them.
When Zhang Hehua just returned home, she learned that the separation of the two rooms had been completed, and she immediately made a fuss, and was dragged into the house by Fang Lao Er, not only beaten, but also severely reprimanded by Fang Lao Er, "If you make trouble again, go back to your mother, don't be embarrassed in Fang's house, you listen to me, it's okay if this family is divided, seeing that Tie Zhu is about to marry a daughter-in-law, when the time comes, you clean up the house of the third family and make a new house for his little two." Now she is honest, and she has lost her previous arrogance and arrogance.
