Chapter 11: The Truth
When Jiao Niang went out of the Lin family, she saw her brother Xin Ping waiting for her not far away. Jiao Niang's heart seemed to flow through a warm current, and she walked quickly towards her brother.
"Have you suffered any grievances?" Xin Ping nervously pulled his sister over and looked at it carefully.
"Nope! They didn't dare. Jiao Niang smiled, Xin Ping's bad things have enough, Jiao Niang didn't want to say anything to worry him.
Xin Ping was relieved and joked to his sister: "Is that pot of chrysanthemums good-looking?" ”
Jiao Niang blinked: "It's not as good as our sweet potatoes." After saying that, the brother and sister laughed together.
The courtyard of the Lin family was not large, and the laughter clearly drifted into Zhao Sanye's ears. Zhao Sanye coughed a few times and said to Lumei: "Go and ask someone to pick up Mama Yin immediately, I have something to ask her." ”
When Jiao Niang returned home, she first received a loud kiss from her younger brother Xin An, and then the eager care of the Lin family's mother and daughter. It seems that Jiao Niang went to some kind of Longtan tiger's den.
Taking advantage of Xin Ping's absence, Jiao Niang told Widow Lin about Aunt Lin and Zhao Sanye's weird attitude.
After all, Widow Lin has experienced a lot of things, so she figured out the trick at once: "Lin Caifeng must have blown the wind in her ears and asked her man to help her take revenge." But what means should she have used to let Mama Yin help her hide her mother's affairs. ”
Jiao Niang thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "She didn't talk to me about her mother's affairs, she was afraid that I would break the matter of forced marriage." Now it's self-defeating. ”
Widow Lin said disdainfully: "It was her father, her mother, and Li Zheng who really hurt her." She arrives well, and the persimmon picks up the soft pinch. ”
"It's not good for her to do her what she does." Jiao Niang said in a deep voice.
"It's none of our business anyway. Let's watch! Widow Lin pursed her lips, feeling that Lin Caifeng and her mother were not good at stubble.
It was already dark, and Mama Yin was sitting in the carriage of the Zhao Mansion, constantly stirring the handkerchief in her hand. The little girl hurried to Zhao's mansion and asked Mama Yin to go and reply, Mama Yin knew that it was going to be bad.
She was really scratching her heart at this moment, regretting that she shouldn't have been moved by Lin Caifeng, accepting her golden hairpin and hiding Lin Caifeng's mother's affairs.
She originally thought that in the deep mansion compound, as long as the people she brought to Panyun Village kept their mouths shut, no one would know about this matter. Who knows what kind of wind this country girl smoked, ran back to the village and stabbed Louzi.
learned from the pain, and was determined not to let Lin Caifeng affect her status in the Zhao Mansion. As soon as Mama Yin arrived at Lin's house, she cried and fell at the feet of Zhao Sanye, crying that she was soft-hearted for a while, and she couldn't stand Aunt Lin's crying and pleading, and helped Aunt Lin hide some things.
After Zhao Sanye listened, he coughed violently a few times in anger. The bluffing Bailan Lumei poured water and called Lang Zhong, but Lin Caifeng, who had always been thoughtful, did not move this time, she was already trembling with fright.
Zhao Sanye relieved himself, his fingers trembled and pointed at Lin Caifeng: "What an Aunt Lin who reverses right and wrong." How dare you coax me like that, and ask me to find a famous doctor to heal your mother, but you dare to let the wrongdoer suffer your humiliation. Your mother ruined the reputation of my Zhao family, and you lost the face of my Zhao family. ”
Lin Caifeng couldn't say a word of rebuttal anymore, but just collapsed to the ground. She knew that the only thing she could rely on in the Zhao family was her husband, but now she had lost her husband's heart because of her stupidity.
The day after the end of the "Flower Appreciation Banquet", the people of Zhao Mansion left Panyun Village in a hurry. It is said that Aunt Lin's eyes were red and swollen from crying when she left. The villagers praised Aunt Lin for her reluctant mother, but she was a loving and righteous child.
The ups and downs outside have not affected the Xin family, and they are in a hurry: as late autumn approaches, sweet potatoes are a durable and cheap food, and every household will stock up on some as winter food. There are not many sweet potatoes grown in Panyun Village, and most of them are grown to eat by themselves. Sweet potatoes naturally can't be harvested.
Xin Ping decided to go to the town tomorrow to finish his errands and go to the surrounding villages to see if anyone was buying sweet potatoes. If not, buy more expensive sweet potatoes directly from town.
Jiao Niang is very worried about whether her sour jujube cake "Tongfu Building" will be accepted. She told Xin Ping if she accepted it. Today, I'm going to talk to Uncle Ding about collecting a basket of southern sour dates in three days - I won't be able to buy southern sour dates in the future.
Xin Ping responded one by one. also intimately asked the mother and daughter of the Lin family what to bring. Widow Lin shook her head, but Lin Ruyi blushed and said that she asked Brother Xin to help bring some thread and needles for insoles.
Early the next morning, Xin Ping embarked on the journey to Luoxi County in the expectation of everyone.
When he arrived at the "Tongfu Building", Xin Ping first went to the back kitchen to deliver vermicelli. Lao Bai, who ran the hall, was excited when he saw Xin Ping: "My mother! You're here. Qi Xiaogongzi is going to annoy the shopkeeper to death. After speaking, he dragged Xin Ping to the shopkeeper Tong.
I saw that Qi Xiaogongzi kept surrounding the shopkeeper Tong and asked, "Is that girl here?" Are you here? ”
The shopkeeper Tong looked unbearable, and when he turned around and saw Xin Ping, he smiled: "Miss Xin's brother is here." You ask him! ”
Without waiting for Qi Xiaogongzi to rush over, Xin Ping handed the sour jujube cake wrapped by Jiao Niang and half a basket of vermicelli to Qi Xiaogongzi.
Qi Xiaogongzi impatiently took out the sour jujube cake, raised one and sniffed it, and put it in his mouth. The shopkeeper Tong and the guests of the restaurant all looked at Qi Xiaogongzi curiously, waiting for him to make an evaluation.
"Not bad, not bad. It's sweet and sour, it's delicious. "Qi Xiaogongzi ate a piece and didn't enjoy it, so he ate another piece.
"Do you still have anything to sell, young man?" "How much is this sour jujube cake, young man?"
Diners have asked how to sell Xinping sour jujube cake. Seeing this, Xin Ping picked up the other half of the sour jujube cake and asked the shopkeeper Tong: "Does the shopkeeper Tong want to talk to me?" Shopkeeper Tong smiled and asked Xin Ping to speak......
As the sun set, Xin Ping finally stepped into the house. Before the mother and daughter of the Lin family left, Xin Ping first took the things she brought to Lin Ruyi. This and the widow Lin moved things into the firewood house.
After the Lin family's mother and daughter left, Jiao Niang asked Xin Ping how the situation was. Xin Ping smiled proudly: "Thanks to Xiao Gongzi Xin, the sour jujube cake Tongfulou not only accepted. And offered a price of twenty cents. ”
"A copy?" Jiao Niang didn't know how much a sour jujube cake her brother was referring to?
Xin Ping gestured: "Fifteen servings." Jiao Niang calculated it and found that sour jujube cake would also be a good entry in a month.
"What about sweet potatoes?" Jiao Niang asked again. Sweet potato vermicelli is the main thing.
"Thanks to my sister for meeting Uncle Ding that day. Led by Uncle Ding, sweet potatoes will be ordered from Daishan Village in the future. They grow a lot of sweet potatoes over there. Xin Ping solved the problem of the source of sweet potatoes and was very happy. Even the conversation was a lot more than usual.
Jiao Niang also became happy: "Brother, wait until spring." There's so much more I can do. Our Xin family's life will get better and better! ”
Xin Ping nodded vigorously: "It will definitely get better and better." No one will dare to bully us in the future! ”
