Fengyuan Village, the east end of the east end and the foot of the mountain are all living in the Lin clan, in a soil cultivation house, the male owner is drinking wine in a sullen voice, and the female owner is mending clothes.

"In charge, I heard that the eldest aunt and the second uncle went to Yuanjiazhuang." After a long time, Chen Hong spoke.

Lin Xiaokang made a move, and some of the wine in the bowl spilled, and he responded vaguely, his expression becoming more and more bitter.

"Don't look like I'm half-dead." Chen Hong was a little angry: "How long has it been here, didn't you also acquiesce at the beginning?" Do I just want to marry my little sister like this? If the family's house is not repaired, and things are no longer purchased, how will Chaochao marry a daughter-in-law in the future? ”

Saying that, there were tears in her eyes, this time was simply not a human life, and she felt pain in her heart when she dreamed.

When she got married, her grandmother had just passed away, her mother-in-law was not in good health, and her father-in-law had to go to the team to settle accounts, and her little sister was brought by her most of the time.

That will she go to the production team to work, the little sister was tied to her back with a coarse cloth, the child's skin is tender, and the child will always be strangled with red marks after a long time, but the child is very well-behaved, and he does not make trouble, and he sobs like a kitten when it hurts. She was distressed, and when it was time to rest, she quickly put her down, and the child was as happy as if she was something, and when she was ridiculed by other daughters-in-law because her left hand was not working, the little sister would always make some noise, so that she could avoid those embarrassments, and she was very clever.

Later, when she got older, a little person would help her feed the chickens and pigs, and she would go to the ground to plant seedlings, and when the child went out to play, she would always remember to bring her water when she saw the sun. Other children are very skinny, and after a day of play, it is like rolling in the mud, as long as she is clean, and she can always pull some wild vegetables and pick some mushrooms back, not to mention the pain.

Later, younger siblings married in one after another, and only then did they start to take turns taking care of the younger sister until she went to school.

After having a son, she gradually put her mind on her son, and when her son showed his talent for reading, she even had a grudge against her little sister.

She always thought that if there was no little sister who could read better, Chaochao would definitely be able to get a different look from the old man, and she would be able to have more subsidies for them, so that she would no longer have to live as bitterly as she is now.

So later, when the daughter-in-law of the second family came to her to talk about it, she agreed without much hesitation, it was 3,000 yuan, that is, the four of them divided it equally, and each family could get about 700, and the two of them might not be able to accumulate so much money in their lifetime.

It's just that after the deed was completed, her heart began to be unstable. Those memories that I thought had faded began to appear in my dreams, and the love I thought I had for my little sister gradually reappeared, making her live in guilt and torment every day.

Hearing the news from Yuanjiazhuang that the little sister was sent to the county hospital by Shen Chi with blood, she almost didn't catch her breath.

Even if she got 700 yuan, she didn't feel happy, and the interest in planning to build a new house was gone.

"That's it, you can say a few words." Lin Xiaokang drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp with some frustration, staggered into the back room and collapsed.

Chen Hong sighed, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and thought that this is it, everything has been done, and no matter how much you say, it will seem fake.

Now she can only take care of her son, and when she goes to the underworld, she will kowtow to her parents-in-law to make amends.

Neither of them noticed how ugly the face of the little boy behind the hidden door was.

As soon as the morning dawned, Luo Yufang called everyone in the family up.

"It's reassuring to do the hukou as soon as possible, old man, you pay attention to protecting Wanwan, don't be picked up." Because they wanted to entertain Lin Xiaoliang's mother's family, and they had to be present to move their household registration, the family planned to buy vegetables at home and clean up, and Shen Zhangming and Lin Xiaoliang went to the town.

- Shen Chi's hukou went with the troops, so in fact, only Lin Xiaoqing's hukou was in the Shen family's old house.

It is not difficult to move out of the hukou, the parties are present, only Shen Mincheng came to the old house, Wang Zhaodi is said to have been cleaned up by Zhou Fengqin and is still lying on the bed humming, and the Lin family is still the original team.

In less than half an hour, the matter was over, Lin Xiaoliang took the hot baked household registration book, Shen Mincheng greeted his father vaguely, ignored the others and turned away.

Shen Zhangming sighed secretly, this son, I'm afraid that he will not be good for the rest of his life.

After returning to the county seat, Luo Yufang and Shen Xiu had already packed up all the vegetables they bought and were waiting at the door.

The two sides greeted politely for a while and entered the house, facing so many unfamiliar people, Shen Xiu was a little shy, but in the end, he still endured his nervousness and took out the tea leaves that had been prepared a long time ago to make tea for everyone, and Shen Zhangming also took cigarettes and handed them out to a few men.

Different from yesterday's confrontation in the old mansion, the Lin family at this meeting behaved very kindly.

Lin Xiaoliang sat with him for a while, and was about to go to the kitchen to help, but was pulled out by Lin Xiaoxi.

"Little brother?" Lin Xiaoliang looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Lin Xiaoxi reached into his pocket and wanted to touch the cigarette, but thinking that the little sister would be pregnant and gave up, he touched his nose, "You...... How are you doing? ”

Lin Xiaoliang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "I'm fine." ”

Her smile was shallow, with a calmness that she hadn't seen before.

Lin Xiaoxi looked sad, he lowered his head to hide the tears in his eyes, and pretended to be happy: "That's good." ”

His sister grew up, but he thought about what kind of pain this growth had come about.

If she was full of resentment towards him, he might feel better.

Shen Chi ...... Is it good for you? ”

"Good." Lin Xiaoliang still smiled.

Lin Xiaoxi touched her head like when she was a child, and said in a choked voice: "This time it's useless for the little brother, and ...... in the future Little sister, believe me, I won't let you be slaughtered anymore. Among all the people, I am afraid that he is the only one who understands the unwillingness in Lin Xiaoliang's heart.

Believe, how not to believe? The little brother had already proved to her in his previous life, a rural man who graduated from junior high school, simply left half of the carpenter's craft he had learned to go to the sea to do business, starting from selling tea, and finally made a fortune and became the richest man in the city.

[Little sister, little brother is rich now, I have saved a trust fund for you, even if I close my eyes first in the future, you don't have to be afraid that no one will support you. 】

Thinking of what the little brother who was no longer so young said to her, Lin Xiaoyan's eyes were sour.

She found that her previous life was not as "pitiful" as she thought.

- Presumably, subconsciously, she felt pitiful. No matter how open-minded he is on his face, he is not truly relieved in his heart.

She thought she was enjoying her life to the fullest, but it turned out that there were so many beautiful scenery that she had overlooked.

"Little brother, don't worry about me." Lin Xiaoliang smiled lightly: "I will live well, very well." ”

Her tone was very serious, as if she was saying an oath, and Lin Xiaoxi couldn't help but smile.

He has always felt that his little sister is good, but it is too simple, there is no literati and loftiness, but his heart is too soft, and he thinks about others everywhere, which is not good. But now it's different, and now the little sister has learned to love, not to love others, but to love herself.

In order to entertain her in-laws, Luo Yufang is not undedicated, although the dishes on the table are not stacked on plate like in later generations, there are nearly ten, and most of them are meat dishes.

Whether it is the dishes for reception or the gifts, it shows the importance of both sides, so it is natural for the guests and hosts to enjoy themselves.

Knowing that the Lin family definitely wanted to talk to their granddaughter-in-law alone, so not long after eating, Luo Yufang took Shen Zhangming for a walk, while Shen Xiu went to school and left the space for them.

Li Fangmei stroked Lin Xiaoliang's hair again and again, and nodded happily, "It's okay if the child is fine." ”

Although I knew that the child was saved, I didn't have any doubts in my heart, after all, the people on Yuanjiazhuang's side said that my niece was bleeding profusely, and the child was fine for the time being, who knows if it can be okay all the time?

"Don't say anything frustrating." Lin Nianqiang was a little impatient, he pulled Lin Xiao obediently and said, "Tell me quickly, did that kid surnamed Shen bully you?" ”

"Nope." Lin Xiaoliang couldn't cry or laugh a little, his second uncle has really been the same for decades.

Lin Nianqiang was a little unconvinced, and saw that there was no reluctance on his niece's face, so he reluctantly gave up the topic.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Li Fangmei suddenly thought and said, "We came to the door yesterday, but it was actually Shen Chi who asked us." ”

Lin Xiaoliang was stunned when he heard this, "What do you mean?" ”

Lin Nianqiang pursed his lips, and Zhou Fengqin said happily: "Before, we went to Yuanjiazhuang to pounce, Wang Zhaodi's mother-in-law had a stinky mouth, my sister-in-law and I were squeezed by her and I don't know what it was, and my sister-in-law went back and fell ill." When my sister-in-law got better, we were about to call your brother Xiaoping and them together, and my niece and son-in-law came to the door with two bottles of wine. He gave us the bills, told us about how you almost had a miscarriage when he came back, and asked us to help him divide you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come until now. ”

"But about the money, he said let's see your opinion, if you want to come back, you have to come back, if you don't want to come back, don't come back."

Lin Xiaoliang was a little stunned at first, but then he understood why Shen Chi did this. Although the money is his, it is natural for him to take it back, but if he is present, the villagers will not think much about it at that time, and after a long time or some introduction, others may take this matter out and talk about it, thinking that he is not merciful, and punish him with filial piety.

It's different for the daughter-in-law's family to pierce this layer of window paper.

She smiled slightly bitterly, it turned out that Shen Chi had such a calculation so early. But also, he can use money to induce her brother and sister-in-law to sell her, what is this matter. It's that she's too naïve.

Seeing her like this, Li Fangmei thought that she was reluctant to give up the money, and she was suddenly a little embarrassed. She suddenly had some introspection, although it was for Wanwan's good, but the money was Shen Chi's, it can also be said to be Wanwan's, she helped her make a decision without saying hello, and generously gave it to others, isn't it...... Something bad?

Especially Wanwan is already married, so she can be regarded as an adult.

The old lady has been tough all her life, especially against the juniors, and this is the first time she feels justified.
