Chapter 2 Situation
After everyone in the house left, Lin Meili searched for the memories of the original owner, who was 16 years old this year, and Fu Zhan, who was one year older than him in the same village, grew up as a childhood sweetheart, and ordered a baby kiss since childhood. Fu Zhan joined the army three years ago, and since then, except for a few letters from home reporting safety at the beginning, he has never received it since. Just a few days ago, several retired wounded veterans came to Fu's house and brought back a few pieces of Fu Zhan's belongings when he was in the army, 58 taels of silver and a letter from home that had not yet had time to be sent.
It turned out that a year ago, he was attacked by the enemy at night, and more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and Fu Zhan was also seriously injured in that night attack, and then he disappeared. The original owner, who had been waiting for Fu Zhan to return to his hometown, became seriously ill after learning the bad news, and this became Lin Meili today.
Now this dynasty is called the Xinguo Dynasty, which is somewhat similar to the Song Dynasty in history, with internal and external troubles, in today's words, Lin Meili came to the overhead era after her death, and she couldn't find a breakthrough in the face of everything strange around her. Before I could figure out how to deal with the current situation, I heard footsteps from outside the door, and saw a pair of men and women walking in one after another, the woman was the mother of the original owner, she was holding a small bowl in her hand, and the man walking in front of her looked forty years old, but his face was unusually handsome, but there was a little alienation in his elegance, and there was a slight sense of oppression in his eyes. Seeing the man walk in, the woman cried and said: "Xianggong, the beauty has finally woken up, but now it is rumored that she is not good, Kefu, how to find a good in-law in the future." It turned out that this was the father of the original owner, Lin Meili sat up slowly, wanted to get up and learn the rules on TV to salute the elders, but unexpectedly the man said: "If you are not feeling well, don't get up, let your mother feed you some food, eat well and sleep well." After speaking, without waiting for others to react, he turned around and left. It's really waving his sleeves without leaving a single cloud.
Lin Meili, who had been hungry for a long time, unceremoniously snatched the woman's bowl, drank the bowl of thin millet porridge in a big gulp, and saw the bottom after a while. When she looked at the woman after drinking, hinting that she wanted to have another bowl, the woman replied embarrassedly: "Your body has not healed, and your stomach has been empty for so many days, don't eat too much at once, take your time." Hearing this, Lin Meili was speechless, she didn't look forward to the days of big fish and meat, but now she can't even drink millet porridge, it seems that the conditions of this family are quite bad. Hey, forget it. Wait until you're well enough to ask more.
"Mother, I want to freshen up, I feel like I'm much better." Smelling the sweat on his body, he felt a little uncomfortable and spoke.
After hearing this, the woman hurriedly said, "Wait, my mother will go and boil water for you to wash ......." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sharp voice, "Second daughter-in-law, you don't know how to do the work at home these days, and you are surrounding your money-losing daughter all day long, do you want to do the opposite?" When the woman heard this, she hurried to the door in a panic, and saw a short figure come in from outside the door without hurrying. The woman spoke: "Mother-in-law, don't say that, Meimei has been in poor health for the past few days, so I can't take care of other things, she has woken up today." ”
Lin Meili looked at the old woman with a voice, this was probably the legendary evil grandmother. It seems that the eldest aunt went to move the rescuers after leaving. I saw that the old woman with a wrinkled face heard this explanation, and said coldly: "I haven't married at such an old age, and I haven't eaten the rice of our Lin family for so many years, and I don't understand how to be grateful to Dade, it will only ruin the reputation of my Lin family, and now the entire Lihua Village is laughing at our Lin family for having a woman who has a husband." ”
Lin Meili took a deep breath and sighed in her heart: What kind of family are these, they haven't cared about her body since she woke up, and they have been scolding her Kefu. The heart said that the old lady has never married in two lifetimes, what kind of husband is it? The evil grandmother was still scolding and saying something unbearable, and the mother stood next to her with a red face and trembling without saying a word, as if this was not the first time it had happened, and she listened to it as if it were taken for granted.
Lin Meili couldn't get used to hearing these words, so without saying a word, she picked up the porridge bowl in her hand and threw it towards the source of the sound, first hearing a dull sound, followed by a crisp sound after the porridge bowl fell to the ground. It feels like the world is suddenly quiet, and it's good.
The old woman was stunned and looked at the few water stains splashed on her sleeve that was smashed by the porridge bowl, and after reacting, she raised her cane and rushed towards Lin Meili viciously. shouted in his mouth: "Kill a thousand knives, I will kill you, a white-eyed wolf, you are unkind and unfilial, and I will kill you ...... if you commit the following crimes." The voice was full of anger, and I didn't feel that it was a woman who usually needed to rely on crutches to walk, and this crutch was probably the weapon she usually used to rely on and sell the old and beat people. Thinking of this, Lin Meili didn't give in at all, and the appearance of getting up to meet the enemy scared the mother standing aside half to death, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the old lady's action. I saw my mother crying and kneeling and dragging the old lady's feet, slowing down the process of the old lady's revenge.
When everyone was in chaos, an old man walked in, and said in a deep voice: "Nonsense, stop it." "The old man's voice seemed to be full of magic, and he successfully stopped this family farce." Go out and do whatever you want. Big girl, I have a few words to say to you."
After everyone left, looking at the mess on the ground, the old man sighed lightly and looked at Lin Meimei's thin face due to illness and said: "I set this family business for you back then, firstly, for the sake of knowing the roots of the two families, you and Brother Zhan have grown up together since childhood, and secondly, because Brother Zhan'er has been a child since he was a child, and he can be literate and martial, and you will definitely not suffer in the future if you follow him." But I didn't expect it to become like this now, in fact, Brother Zhan came to talk to me the night before he joined the army, saying that if he encounters misfortune and doesn't want to delay you, you can marry yourself when you turn 15. Grandfather and I were selfish at the time, always thinking that when he made military merits and returned to his hometown, you would get married. But if you don't think about it, how can things in the world be as you wish. Now it's a fact, don't think about it, take care of your body, and make plans for later."
Listening to these words, Lin Meili felt inexplicably sad, although she had never gotten along with this cheap fiancé and had no feelings, but listening to the words of this old man, she could also feel that this should be a good young man who was motivated, but unfortunately there was no fate. But how could Lin Meimei, who is from modern times, accept this kind of arranged marriage. But this grandfather is good, at least much better than her own father.
Lin Meili cleared her throat and said, "Grandfather, I've tired you these days, I won't turn the horns again in the future, I'll be fine." Listening to these words, the old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Have a good rest, your grandmother is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, don't take what she said to heart, she is also worried that because of your affairs, it will affect the two younger sisters of your third uncle's family." After saying that, he turned around and left, this style is really similar to her cheap father, and it doesn't leave a cloud.
Exhaling a breath and lying on this hard little bed, Lin Meili looked at the ceiling and said helplessly: "Mother, I haven't washed my face for a long time, forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
