Chapter 37: Brother and Sister Love
Lin Xiaofu was rarely stiff, not to mention how shocked the Lin clan people present, Zhu Fen reacted the most violently.
"Lin Xiaofu, what are you talking about?" Regardless of being afraid, Zhu Fen stared at her eyes and shouted angrily: "Why should my own daughter be raised by others? ”
She thought to herself that the eldest daughter could not be found, and according to the fierceness of the little hoof, she was afraid that she would not be given a chance to sell her for gift money, and she said that the remaining two daughters could not let them escape from the palm of her hand.
Lin Xiaofu hung his head silently, and did not speak, but in disguise he showed that he would not change his mind.
"It's so nice, except for the past two years, when have you, the mother, raised a daughter?" Zhou Fengqin couldn't look at this niece and daughter-in-law, "I've never seen you such a ruthless mother, treating your daughter as an enemy, no wonder you don't have a son until now, it can be seen that you have done too many evils!" ”
This can be regarded as stabbing Zhu Fen's heart, her face twitched, and her expression became hideous, "What did you say, old woman?" ”
The surrounding Lin clan people frowned, Lin Nianqiang raised his eyebrows and said: "See, this is really my little brother's good daughter-in-law, who else do you have in your eyes with this attitude towards the elders?" ”
"Ah Fen!" Lin Xiaofu's tone was blaming.
"What do you tell me to do?" Zhu Fen quit, and Sapo pointed at Zhou Fengqin and said, "She cursed me for not being able to give birth to a son, what happened to the old woman when I scolded her?" You actually helped him, don't you want a son? ”
Lin Xiaofu's mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't say a word, he just felt powerless.
"Isn't that true? Still use my mother's curse? Lin Xiaole's voice interjected, Li Fangmei looked over, and saw that her son and several nephews were coming over, and asked, "Why are you back?" Found the bird? ”
"Nope." Lin Xiaoan's expression was a little gloomy. "I asked at the station, and the kid didn't take the train at all."
"Maybe I haven't gone far, maybe I'm also in a hurry, and I'll come back by myself in a few days." Li Fangmei was uneasy, but she couldn't help but say on the good side.
Others knew she was comforting. He sighed and didn't say anything.
Over there, Zhu Fen was so angry by Lin Xiaole's words that her face turned the color of pig liver, and she wanted to sprinkle, but she wilted when she saw the Lin clan people in her eyes.
"Auntie, you go into the house and take the little fish away." At this time, Lin Xiaofu ignored Zhu Fen's obstruction and spoke.
Li Fangmei took a deep look at this nephew. said to his son: "Xiaoxi, go and take the little fish out." ”
Zhu Fen hurriedly wanted to block the door, Lin Xiaoxi would ignore her, pushed him away, entered the house and found the child and took the child out.
Lin Xiaomei took the kitten into her arms, and her heart finally fell back to its original place. After thinking about my sister's explanation, I couldn't help but tighten my hands.
My sister said, don't trust your father and mother, take care of Xiaoyu.
The matter was almost over, Lin Xiaoxi suddenly remembered the 1,900 yuan, turned back to Lin Xiaofu and said, "Brother Xiaofu, I have something to look for you, you can call Brother Xiaokang, Brother Xiaolu and Brother Xiaoshou to come to my house." ”
There was a pause. glanced at Zhu Fen and said, "A few sisters-in-law won't use it." ”
Lin Xiaofu was worried that his daughter-in-law was going to be mad, so he was able to avoid this incident, so he nodded and ran to his eldest brother's house without saying hello to Zhu Fen.
"You say give us the money?" Before the four brothers came, they were ready to be taught a lesson by the eldest aunt and the second uncle. How do you know that you are actually going to give them money?
Lin Xiaoxi's expression was cold, "You know the 7,900 yuan returned by the government, originally this money should have been mine's according to the rules of the clan." Just thinking about love, I plan to keep 3,000 for ourselves, 3,000 for the second uncle's family, and the remaining 1,900 yuan for the little sister. ”
There was a pause. He said with some sarcasm: "Anyway, you also have 3,000 yuan for selling your little sister, so you don't lose money." ”
The four Lin Xiaokang brothers all lowered their heads. Being so sarcastic by the cousin who grew up, they feel embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned they are.
"But. This time I went to my little sister and she didn't ask for the money. ”
Hearing him mention Lin Xiaoliang, Lin Xiaokang couldn't help but prick up his ears.
The corners of Lin Xiaoxi's mouth hooked up with a touch of mockery, "She said she didn't want to make you feel that you didn't owe her after taking this money." ”
Hearing such words, Lin Xiaokang felt uncomfortable. It was only then that they really realized that they had really lost this sister.
In the past, they had similar pain when they watched their younger sister send things to the eldest uncle's mother's house and the second uncle's family in large bags, but they never came to see their brothers, but only now did they have to recognize the reality.
"You can take the money back, we don't want it." Lin Xiaolu said.
He felt very uncomfortable in his heart, if he knew that there would be such a day, he might not have agreed to sell his sister at the beginning, and his son went to school early, even if he dropped out of school for a year or two, the problem would not be too big.
But now...... There is no regret medicine to take in this world.
Lin Xiaokang and Lin Xiaoshou also nodded and said, "We can't ask for this money." ”
Lin Xiaofu lowered his head and did not speak, but he also acquiesced in the brothers' decision.
Seeing them like this, Lin Xiaoxi didn't feel relieved at all. It stands to reason that although Lin Xiaoliang suffered a little, he was also in danger, and he was not really irreparably hurt, but as Lin Xiaoxi, who grew up with Lin Xiaoliang since he was a child, he always felt that his little sister seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances, so big that he couldn't forgive these cousins no matter what they did.
It felt inexplicable, but he wasn't going to go against it.
"Take it, if you don't take it, I'm worried that you are retreating and advancing, and you want to get more benefits from your little sister." Lin Xiaoxi's words were not vicious, but he didn't feel sorry at all.
He has always known how soft the little sister's heart is, she can be a pampered old girl, but she is always too tired because she is considerate of others, how much she has worried about her four uncompetitive brothers, and how painful it is after being betrayed!
In addition, the uncle was passing away at that time, and he encountered such a thing when he was lingering on the sickbed, he didn't know how many times he was glad that his little sister survived.
Just glad once, he hated the four people in front of him once, it was their own sister, could it be for the sake of money, could they ignore the life and death of their own sister?
Lin Xiaokang and the three of them were a little angry when they heard this, but Lin Xiaolu took a deep look at Lin Xiaoxi and said, "Okay, we will take this money." ”
In the past, because they were Xiaomei's own brothers, Xiaoxi didn't like them very much.
At that time, he only thought that it was a child's emotion, but now he understands the deep meaning of his dislike for them.
He thought that as an elder brother, compared to the younger sister's affection and dedication to them, they actually never reciprocated her equal feelings.
Many brides will encounter such a problem, and the husband will always look towards the sister-in-law between her and the sister-in-law.
And they, because the little sister was born late, and the daughter-in-law was still young when she entered the door, they never had the unreasonable idea that "compared to the daughter-in-law of half an outsider, it is naturally more important to be a sister", but many people take it for granted.
Later, when they had children, they were even worse off their little sister, they had their own little family, and their father's love for their little sister, they unconsciously put their little sister outside their own small home.
In this regard, Xiaomei has never complained and dissatisfied, and has always been as considerate as possible to their brothers, but Xiaoxi, the little brother closest to her, found out, so she felt injustice for her.
Lin Xiaolu was a little lost and guilty, and a little relieved, fortunately, there is still Xiaoxi, the little brother who loves the most little sister. Their unconscionable brothers will probably slowly become unimportant.
The damage they gave her will slowly disappear.
If they take this money, Xiaomei can draw a line with them without burden.
Using his eyes to stop the brothers who wanted to speak, Lin Xiaolu smiled and said, "Xiaoxi, congratulations, you finally snatched the little sister from us." ”
He said something different, and the other three people realized what they thought of, and no one knew anything except themselves, but they no longer objected to Lin Xiaolu taking the money.
Looking at the four people who left, Lin Xiaoxi was silent for a long time before saying, "I can't let you have a second chance to hurt my little sister." ”
The little sister is too soft-hearted, so he helps her cut off this brother-sister relationship.
"Why do you bother?" Tang Hanfang came out of the house, looking a little puzzled.
In fact, according to her thoughts, the little sister is fine, Lin Xiaokang and the four have always felt guilty, and the two parties will always reconcile after a long time, so why should her husband be this bad person.
"You don't understand." Lin Xiaoxi said: "Little sister, this person can't rub sand in her eyes when it comes to feelings, even if she forgives Brother Xiaokang because of her soft heart, she won't be able to go back to the past anyway." For a person as clean and tall as her, maintaining such a tainted brother-sister relationship is tantamount to torture. ”
In this world, the understanding of Lin Xiaoliang, except for Lin Guoqiang, will belong to Lin Xiaoxi.
Even after a lifetime, this will not change.
Because, the things in Lin Xiao's essence have always been stubbornly existing.
Lin Xiaomei was taken to the health station by Tang Hanfang to treat the wound, Lin Xiaoyu also followed, and the two families gathered at Lin Xiaoxi's house.
"There's no news of the birds, what can I do?" Lin Xiaoping asked with some anxiety.
They had been looking for two days, and yesterday they had heard that Little Bird had spent money to ride in an old man's ox cart, but they found the old man, and the old man said that Little Bird would get off when he arrived in the county, and he didn't mention where he was going.
"Don't look for it." Lin Xiaoxi sighed: "That kid obviously doesn't want us to get her back." ”
"How's that going to work?" Lin Xiaoping glared at him, "How old is she, what if something happens?" ”
"Probably not." In the face of everyone's doubts, Lin Xiaoxi said: "My little sister once said that although the little bird looks the most similar to Zhu Fen, her personality is the most like her uncle. She should have taken this into account as well. I suspect that the reason why she has not left until now is probably because she has been preparing for the past two years. ”
At the beginning, Xiaomei also clenched her fists and swore that she would find a way to make up the tuition fees before Xiaoniao was 12 years old and send her to the fifth grade, because she couldn't continue to take Xiaoniao to class when she entered college, and Xiaoniao had learned so much with her, and she had to have a diploma before she had a future.
