"Many." Lin Chaoxi replied without thinking, "Don't say a hundred taels, even if it's a penny, it's a lot." I earned this money, you want it, and there is no door. You guys are really embarrassed, you marry your own daughter, and we have to pay for the family. Don't forget, when the family split up a few days ago, you gave us, why didn't you remember that my father was your son, but now you are embarrassed to come to us and ask us for money. ”

Lin Chaoxi's words made Lin Jiande, who wanted to open his mouth to stop Lin Chaoxi, bow his head silently.

Although the matter of separating the family was proposed by Lin Chaoxi.

But when they first separated, they really didn't think that he was their son.

Even if he is as honest as Lin Jiande, he also has complaints about this pair of parents.

Of course, these resentments are not just triggered by such a thing, but have accumulated over the years, bit by bit, piece by piece.

For example, when she married Zhang, she asked Deng for three taels of silver to buy a dowry, but Deng didn't give a penny, saying that she wanted to save the money for the sixth child to study, and he could marry his wife slowly, not in a hurry, and finally Zhang's dowry money was borrowed by him and Tang Tiezhu and Yan Shuman, and then went out to work during the slack time, and accumulated ten years to pay off the money.

The most recent thing is that his eldest son Lin Chuanzhou entered the school, and Deng refused him on the grounds that there were already three children in the family going to school.

Pile by pile, piece by piece, slowly accumulated, changing with each passing day, these grievances naturally accumulated.

When Lin Chaoxi saw Lin Jiande bowing his head and being silent, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.

Sure enough, even if they are honest and obedient, such as Lin Jiande, they have a grudge against the old Lin Tou, and it is not small.

"Er, what do you mean by that? Could it be that we raised you so big, and this is how you repay us? When Deng saw Lin Jiande's expression, he was angry, "Okay! Good! Good! I kind of got it through today. Unexpectedly, I Deng Zhaodi raised a white-eyed wolf, and when I was developed, I would not recognize me as a mother. ”

"Mother, I ......"

"Don't call me mother, I don't have a son like you." Deng roared angrily and waved away.

After the Deng family left, Lao Lin Tou sat down, took a puff of dry tobacco, the wrinkled color was even more sad, and gently tapped the table with a dry tobacco stick, and sighed, "Jiande, don't blame your mother." It's not easy for your mother to bring up your brothers and sisters. She is just your little sister's daughter, so naturally she is a baby.

Now that she is going to marry your sister, she is naturally reluctant in her heart. Now you're ...... again."

When Old Lin Tou said this, he glanced at Lin Chaoxi, who was standing next to him with a sneer.

"Silly, don't look at me like that. How difficult it was for your grandma to pull your father at that time, you haven't seen it, you don't know. Today, you and your father broke your grandmother's heart. ”

Lao Lin Tou took a sip of dry tobacco again, "When she gave birth to your father, she almost died, even though she survived, she fell ill." So for your father, she loves and resents her, and she is usually a little harsh to your father, but your father has always been a piece of meat that fell from her stomach, how can she hate it. Now you have a chance, but you ......"

Old Lin Tou shook his head as he spoke, "Okay, let's not talk about that." In the evening, your family will come over for dinner, and it will be more lively. It can be regarded as an acquaintance with the old Zheng family. Even if you are separated, you are still from my old Lin family! ”

After speaking, Lao Lin got up, patted Lin Jiande on the shoulder, and walked towards the door.

Wait for the old forest head to leave.

Lin Jiande, who lowered his head, raised his head, but his face was mottled with tears, he looked at Lin Chaoxi, his eyes revealed pleading, "Xi'er, can you ......?"

"Can't!" Lin Zhaoxi knew what Lin Jiande wanted to say, but he shook his head resolutely, "Dad." Today, the two of them can sing red face and white face to grind you, and they can also use other tricks to grind you in other days, I know you have softened.

But if you think about it carefully, is my grandma really like what my grandpa said to you? Did she really feel sorry for you? Grandpa protected you again? Do they really treat you like their son?

What's more, today is just asking you to marry Lin Ximei's dowry, it's not that they can't afford to give Lin Ximei a dowry, Huang Matchmaker told me that the dowry they posted to Lin Ximei can be counted even if it is our daughter in a border town. You just have to think about it to know how rich the dowry they put on Lin Ximei, so if they ask you for money, I won't give it to them, this is one of them.

Second, if something serious happens to them, for example, they are sick and have no money for treatment, and you want money to treat them, I will definitely give you money without saying a word. Don't say it's a hundred taels, even if it's all the net worth, I'm willing to give it, and I'm willing to let you heal them and repay them for their nurturing kindness.

What I said, Dad, think about it, is this the truth? ”

After Lin Chaoxi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Lin Zhaoxi, who returned to the room, closed the door and sighed softly.

She's a cheap father, she's really soft-hearted and honest.

Who are Deng Zhaodi and Lao Lintou?

Those are all ruthless characters who suck blood without stopping.

As long as they are given a start, they will definitely change their way to hollow out their small family to subsidize everyone.

She would never allow this.

Her money didn't fall from the sky.

It was she who earned it back with her own wisdom and ability.

Of course, if something really happened to Lao Lin Tou, she would also take out money to solve their problems as she said to Lin Jiande, but the premise was that they were indeed exhausted.

However, what made her a little puzzled was that Deng's attitude towards other houses was better than that of her cheap father, and her attitude towards Lin Jiande was not like her attitude towards her son.

After cleaning up his mood, Lin Chaoxi walked towards the new house under construction.

Because of the sumptuous meal at noon, these workers worked extremely hard in the afternoon, not to mention, Lin Chaoxi also promised that every day of the next house construction, their family would provide lunch.

In this era when they can't eat enough, it is not easy to be full, and it is extremely difficult for them to eat a bowl of pure rice, and the lunch provided to them by Lin Chaoxi and his family is full of rice and enough meat and vegetables.

Even if they went to the rich man's house to do things, they didn't have such good hospitality.

So as soon as Lin Chaoxi walked to the construction site, these workers greeted Lin Chaoxi warmly, and while greeting him, they did not stop their work.

Lin Chaoxi stayed in the new house for an afternoon, and after clearing the suffocating breath in his heart, he returned home.

Because they went to Lao Lin Tou's house to eat at night, Zhang's didn't cook at night, and when Sanfang Hua's came to ask them to go to the front yard to eat, Lin Jiande and Zhang's pulled a large family and walked to the front yard.

When she arrived in the front yard, Deng saw their family coming, and when Lin Jiande greeted her, she thought of the afternoon's events, snorted with a very stinky face, and turned her face away.

Lin Jiande's face was embarrassed, and at this time, the old Lin Tou, who came out of the back room, saw this situation and walked up to greet him, "It's here!" Now that the table is full, I have wronged your family to sit there. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the small table in the lower hall.

Lin Chaoxi glanced at the two vacant positions on the main seat, smiled meaningfully, and took a step forward, at this moment, Lin Jiande held Lin Chaoxi's hand and shook his head at her, Lin Chaoxi sighed in his heart, didn't say more, broke free of Lin Jiande's hand, turned around and walked to the small table in the hall.

Lin Jiande breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Zhang towards the small table.

Zheng Cheng and his wife, who were sitting on the main side, glanced at each other, and a touch of surprise slipped through their eyes, but the two of them didn't say much.

Zheng Kaijie, who was sitting next to them, couldn't help frowning when he saw this, but as if he thought of something, he lowered his eyebrows.

Deng Shi saw that the atmosphere in the room seemed to be a little wrong, and hurriedly greeted the old Zheng Cheng and his wife, just at this time, Wang brought the dishes to the table, and she hurriedly greeted, "In-laws, come and eat." My family Ximei is still a little shy, wait for her to slow down, let's not wait for her first, wait while eating! ”

Lin Chaoxi didn't bother to pay attention to the thoughts that flowed between them.

Now the family is sitting at a small round table in the lower hall.

They were also seated with the children of the eldest uncle and the third uncle.

As for Lin Chaoning, Lin Chaoxi didn't see her. However, Lin Jianxin and his wife sat on it, thinking that she was accompanying Lin Ximei.

Just as Lin Chaoxi was pondering this, Lin Chaoning led Lin Ximei out of her room.

Lin Ximei's face was slightly powdered, covering the pockmarks on her disc-like face, her eyebrows were drawn with willow leaves, and her lips were light red.

However, at this time, her fists were clenched, and Lin Chaoning's little face was drenched in cold sweat, and her steps made an accent on the floor, which seemed to shake.

At this moment, Lin Ximei did not hide her anger, her eyes widened hard, staring at Zheng Kaijie who was sitting on the main seat.

Zheng Kaijie was glared at by Lin Ximei, and his body trembled.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chaoxi intuitively felt that something was going to happen tonight.

At this moment, the air was eerily quiet.

At this time, Hua Shi walked up with a pot of soup, "Mother, the oily noodles are ready." You see if you want to come up. ”

In Leitang Village, there is such a small custom, the groom comes to the door for the first time, and the daughter's family expresses that the groom is satisfied with the groom, and will cook a pot of oil to pour noodles to entertain the groom, expressing their love and approval for the groom.

Deng expressed satisfaction with Hua's behavior of coming up to break the stiff atmosphere at this time, and smiled at Hua for the first time.

Hua Shi was so laughed by Deng that his body trembled, and he almost splashed the soup in his hand at Deng.

Deng didn't see Hua's trembling, otherwise he might have scolded her again.

At this moment, the Deng family had already turned his head and urged Lin Ximei, who came to his side, "Ximei, don't go and pour oil on Kaijie's bowl of noodles." ”

When Deng was urging Lin Ximei, a person walked outside the main gate, "Dad, mother, I'm back." ”

Lin Chaoxi's fourth uncle came from the door, dusty, but his face showed a rare joy.

A few days ago, he saw that Lin Chaoxi's family was on the right track, so he went out with his friends to help with carpentry work in a rich man's house in the county seat.
