Chapter 35: The Battle of the Granary

Shen Lingxiu quietly glanced at the small room in the backyard several times, and it was not until she returned to her room after eating that she asked Lin Ziwen.

"Is that your mother in the back yard?" One sentence made Lin Ziwen's face pale, and he nodded.

It turned out that Shen Lingxiu guessed correctly, but why not be with the family, but in that small courtyard, this question was in her heart.

"My mother, who is a little mentally disturbed, went to the backyard by herself and didn't want to come out again." Lin Ziwen lowered his head and opened his mouth lonely.

This is an eternal pain in his heart, since he can remember, his mother is not as kind as the mother of an ordinary child, but ignores him, and even deliberately alienated, he didn't understand when he was a child, and he still didn't understand when he grew up.

Later, my mother moved to a hut in the backyard and never came out again. Although he has a mother who is still alive, compared to Lin Shengyuan, his eldest brother who lost his mother, he does not feel much better.

Shen Lingxiu saw Lin Ziwen's sad expression, and had an answer in her heart, so she didn't continue to speak, after all, such a thing as revealing people's scars is not very moral.

Seeing that Shen Lingxiu didn't continue to ask, Lin Ziwen breathed a sigh of relief, the topic of his mother was a pain in his heart, and every time he mentioned it, it was like a knife in his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He knew that since Shen Lingxiu married into this family and became a member of the family, he should know everything about this family.

The next day, Shen Lingxiu came back from the stall as usual and talked to Chi Huifang.

"Sister-in-law, I'll just deliver food in the future, so I don't have to trouble you and your eldest brother." Chi Huifang happily agreed, she didn't want to serve that crazy woman!

Shen Lingxiu returned to the kitchen to cook a table of meals, and then prepared a clean table of chopsticks separately, ready to send it to Lin Ziwen's mother.

Lin Ziwen also saw Shen Lingxiu take the food and walk towards the backyard, afraid that something would go wrong, he also followed.

Shen Lingxiu carefully took the food and walked to the backyard, she had never been to the backyard before, but she remembered that once the chickens in the yard came to the backyard, she wanted to come over and catch it, but was pulled by Bao.

"Third aunt, don't go to that backyard, grandpa said there are monsters."

Looking at it now, I'm afraid it's the reason why Father Lin is trying to scare Ah Bao and not let him come to the backyard.

What kind of woman is it, called a monster by Father Lin? Whether it's crazy or stupid, it's a living person. Feeling uncomfortable, she pushed open the door and walked in.

A burst of wooden fish sounded, Shen Lingxiu was stunned, very rhythmic, with the green lantern ancient Buddha as his companion, how could he be a madman?

Shen Lingxiu didn't believe it and knocked on the door.

"Hello, I'm here to bring you food......" was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"I don't eat, I don't eat, take it away! Poisonous! This was followed by a heart-rending cry, and even swaying his body and rushing over.

Shen Lingxiu was startled, and quickly pushed open the door and rushed out. Touching her chest in shock, she caught a glimpse of the woman's face, although according to Lin Ziwen's age, the woman was also in her forties, although her long hair was messy, she still looked young, and she must have been extremely beautiful when she was young.

Lin Ziwen hurriedly walked over, lowered his head and took Shen Lingxiu's hand to comfort her, worried that she was afraid.

"It's okay, don't be afraid of Lingxiu."

Shen Lingxiu nodded, signaled the food in his hand, Lin Ziwen took it and spoke.

"I'll send it later."

He was worried that such a thing would happen again, although the people in the room were very cold to him, but they would never yell or even move, maybe she knew that Lin Ziwen was her son.

The woman glanced up at him and paused the wooden fish in her hand.

Muyu's voice stopped abruptly, she looked up, what kind of eyes were they, amazing, Lin Ziwen inherited his mother's appearance, especially these eyes, facing each other, the silence in the air, no one spoke first.

After a while, Lin Ziwen came closer, put the food on the table next to her, and spoke.

"Eat, Mother." Then, without too many words, he turned and pushed the door open, pausing the moment it closed.

"The one just now is your daughter-in-law, and she made the meal." Lin Ziwen's voice came, and then the sound of the door closing followed.

"Let's go, Lingxiu." Lin Ziwen took Shen Lingxiu's hand and walked out of the backyard.

There was still some time before it got dark, Shen Lingxiu went to the kitchen to clean up her things, and suddenly found that there were not many noodles, so she discussed with Ah Bao to grind some noodles, so as not to be stretched thin.

"Bao, where is our granary?" Shen Lingxiu asked, and Po stretched out his little finger to a room.

"Let's go, Bao, let's go and move the grain with my aunt, let's go grind the noodles!" Shen Lingxiu led him to speak, and the two of them walked towards the granary.

Chi Huifang, who was passing by, happened to hear that they were talking about the granary and the granary, and thought that something was wrong, and Shen Lingxiu, a woman, actually started the idea of the granary.

She ran over in small steps, and just as Shen Lingxiu and Ah Bao were about to move, they were stopped by Chi Huifang.

"Stop! What are you doing! She grabbed Shen Lingxiu and didn't let her move.

"Bao, you little rabbit cub actually helped outsiders steal our food."

Chi Huifang blamed Ah Bao while glaring at Shen Lingxiu fiercely.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" Shen Lingxiu stopped what she was doing and looked at Chi Huifang with her shoulders crossed.

"What am I doing? If I'm a little bit late, I'm afraid you'll steal all the food at home. ”

Chi Huifang opened her mouth and said, and even counted it.

"How many times have you stolen it, tell me honestly, is the food used in the noodle stall the food at home?" Chi Huifang was aggressive.

"It's not." Shen Lingxiu opened her mouth, she and A Baolai moved grain this time purely because there was not much food at home, Father Lin was old, and his body had just recovered, so he couldn't let Father Lin grind noodles.

She didn't want to explain to Chi Huifang, justice was in the hearts of the people.

Seeing that Shen Lingxiu was cold, Chi Huifang couldn't help but affirm her own opinion, and decided that Shen Lingxiu was here to steal grain, and she also bought Ah Bao.

"You sinister woman!" All the unhappiness these days has been replaced by the resentment in Chi Huifang's heart, she rolled up her sleeves, ready to start beating Shen Lingxiu. But Shen Lingxiu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, years of martial arts practice has made her have this sensitivity, Chi Huifang made her feel hostile, but she raised her leg and kicked Chi Huifang who rushed over to the ground.

Chi Huifang saw that she was at a disadvantage and was being bullied, so she struggled to get up, and grabbed Shen Lingxiu's hair fiercely.

The two women tore apart, and Shen Lingxiu didn't take advantage of Chi Huifang's defense at all, but her hair was too long, and she was pulled by Chi Huifang fiercely.

Ah Bao was startled when he saw that the two of them were fighting, and ran out to call someone quickly.

It happened that Lin Ziwen was in the yard, thinking about his mother.

"Third uncle, third uncle, it's not good, it's not good, you go and take a look." Po ran over panting.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ziwen asked.

"The third aunt and the eldest lady are fighting in the granary!" As soon as Bao's words fell, Lin Ziwen ran over.

Sure enough, Chi Huifang and Shen Lingxiu were torn together, and he walked over and pulled the two apart.

"Sister-in-law, Lingxiu, what are you doing here!" A family values harmony, which is Lin Ziwen's consistent philosophy.

"Ziwen, you came just in time, you took care of your daughter-in-law, and you actually came to the granary to steal grain, if I hadn't seen it, the food at home would have been stolen." Chi Huifang wiped her hair and spoke.

Lin Ziwen glanced at Shen Lingxiu and motioned for her to explain, but Shen Lingxiu didn't speak, so she didn't bother to explain.

"No, the third aunt called me to come to the granary when she saw that the rice and noodles in our kitchen were gone." Ah Bao saw that Shen Lingxiu was wronged, and complained for her.

"What do children know!" Chi Huifang opened her mouth to reprimand.

"Okay, sister-in-law, don't quarrel, you're all a family, there's no need to make trouble about this."

He came to be a peacemaker, but it was obvious that Chi Huifang was not so easy to stop.

"I don't know how many noodles she stole yet!"

Shen Lingxiu remembered the noodles she took from home clearly, thinking that she would return them when she earned the money.

"Okay, sister-in-law, we don't take food, don't worry." Lin Ziwen really had no way to speak.

"If you say you don't take it, you won't take it, how can I believe it?" Chi Huifang looked unforgiving.

"So, you lock up the granary." Lin Ziwen spoke.

"Okay, that's what you said, and when I got back to ask my father......

"I'll talk to my father." Lin Ziwen spoke, Chi Huifang was finally satisfied, and went back proudly.

Shen Lingxiu was very dissatisfied with this kind of treatment, blindly retreated, and never wanted a solution to the problem, not to mention that the current Lin Ziwen, as his nominal husband, had to speak for himself.

She was very disappointed, ignored Lin Ziwen, and went back to the room.

Lin Ziwen looked at Shen Lingxiu's back and knew that she should be angry, so he chased after her.

One night, Shen Lingxiu ignored Lin Ziwen, and Lin Ziwen was very lonely.

Early the next morning, Shen Lingxiu got up and went out of the stall, refused Lin Ziwen's help, and went to the stall in the town with a basket on her shoulder.

She counted the noodles and found that there were not many noodles on the noodle stall, at most it could only be tomorrow morning.

Shen Lingxiu sighed lowly, this is about to reach the point of exhaustion, because of buying medicine for Father Lin, she didn't save much money, and she didn't have money to buy noodles at all.

What can I do about this, she frowned.

Lin Ziwen found out about this problem, and he came up and gave Shen Lingxiu, who had a melancholy face, an idea.

"Lingxiu, it's better to go to the rice store and get some rice grain on credit to deal with the emergency."

Shen Lingxiu felt that this idea made sense, she asked Lin Ziwen to help watch the stall, and then went to the rice shop by herself.

"Little brother, I'll find your boss." Shen Lingxiu spoke.
