Chapter 36: Separation?
"What's the matter, I'm the boss." Shen Lingxiu looked at it for a moment, and then opened his mouth with a smile.
"Hello boss, I'm from that street stall, and I can't turn around recently, and I hope to be able to get some rice grain on credit." She got straight to the point and said it directly.
"Heh, our store never gives credit to women, call you men to come." The owner of the rice shop looked like he was underbeaten.
Shen Lingxiu couldn't help but roll her eyes, how could she still discriminate against women!
She was just about to say something when the guy blasted her out.
"Let's go, let's go, don't delay our business."
Helplessly, she could only come back in disgrace.
"What's wrong? Not going well? Lin Ziwen saw that Shen Lingxiu was empty-handed, and knew that things were not going well.
"Well, why do you rice shops still discriminate against women!" When she thought about it, she was angry.
Lin Ziwen heard Shen Lingxiu tell him what happened, he decided to go to the rice shop in person, he had never done this kind of thing, and he was willing to do it for Shen Lingxiu for the first time.
"I'll go, you wait for me." Lin Ziwen stuffed the apron into Shen Lingxiu's hand and went out.
He came to the rice shop, and walked around the door for a while before entering.
"Boss, I'll get some rice on credit." He stammered, and the boss saw that he was a poor scholar, and rolled his eyes when he went in.
"Let's go! As poor and sour as you are, you still pay rice and grain on credit, can you pay it back? As he spoke, he waved the strip of cloth in his hand and drove Lin Ziwen.
Lin Ziwen did not give up, he must bring the rice grain back.
"Boss, listen to me......"
"Ouch, if you don't leave, I'm going to do it!" The man opened his mouth and called the guy to come over, and several people beat Lin Ziwen.
Lin Ziwen hung up again, his face was swollen a lot, he didn't have the face to go back to Shen Lingxiu's noodle stall, and went home with his head bowed.
Until the stall was closed, Shen Lingxiu didn't see Lin Ziwen, it was very strange, so she went home by herself, it turned out that Lin Ziwen had already returned.
She was a little angry, and went to question Lin Ziwen why she didn't say a word to him, Lin Ziwen kept covering her face, she ripped Lin Ziwen's arm off, and then a face with a blue nose and swollen face appeared in sight, Shen Lingxiu was taken aback.
"What's going on?"
"It's the owner of the rice shop......" Lin Ziwen told Shen Lingxiu about the matter.
"If you don't borrow, you won't borrow, why should they beat people!" Shen Lingxiu's temper came up at that time, and he said that he was about to go to the owner of the rice shop to settle the account, but was stopped by Lin Ziwen.
Shen Lingxiu is a woman, she will definitely suffer if she goes, how can she beat a group of strong men.
Seeing Lin Ziwen pulling her hard regardless of the injury on her face, afraid that she would go out, she sighed.
The stupid Lin Ziwen is really good to her, which makes her a little unbearable.
She went to get ointment to wipe Lin Ziwen's wounds, and the injuries at both ends in three days were really accidental, Lin Ziwen thought to himself, and obediently raised his face to facilitate Shen Lingxiu's medicine.
Father Lin heard about what happened during the day from Ah Bao's mouth, and was about to come to talk to Shen Lingxiu, but he saw Lin Ziwen hanging the lottery.
Knowing what happened, Father Lin spoke.
"Just say no to me, I'll give you the rice in the granary." With that, he turned and walked out the door.
"Thank you, Dad, don't worry, there is borrowing and repaying, it is not difficult to borrow again, and when I turn around, I will definitely return it." Shen Lingxiu spoke.
"You don't have to pay it back, it's all your own." Father Lin spoke, and Shen Lingxiu was moved by these words.
"No, Dad, I know you're fine, it's just that the eldest brother will have a statement over there." Shen Lingxiu opened her mouth and said understandingly.
Early the next morning, Father Lin took out half a bag of rice for Shen Lingxiu, which happened to be seen by Chi Huifang.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" She looked unsightly and pointed to the half bag of rice.
"Oh, I'll get some rice for the third family." Father Lin didn't hide it either, and spoke.
"Why, Dad, aren't you obviously eccentric? I still saw this, I see that the food in her noodle shop is taken from home. Chi Huifang spoke, mercilessly accusing her.
Father Lin blackened his face at that time.
"The medicines I took when I was sick were all given by the third family, where did you go then?" Father Lin's words are true, when the family encountered difficulties, he remembered Chi Huifang's attitude in his heart, and now she came out when she gave Shen Lingxiu food.
Shen Lingxiu felt that Father Lin was really an understanding person, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Chi Huifang didn't pick up, she understood that she was at a loss, and Shen Lingxiu was indeed doing it all about buying medicine.
But she can't let Shen Lingxiu take advantage of the food.
"Dad, this is not a reason, so we will suffer more losses, so it is better to divide the grain."
Chi Huifang opened her mouth and pulled the bag to prevent Shen Lingxiu from moving away.
"It's good that the food is separated, I don't mind the noodles they used before, and besides, Dad, didn't you say that the cooking in the third room is delicious, you just follow them."
Father Lin was stunned when he heard this, and he pointed at Chi Huifang angrily.
"You want to break up?"
Chi Huifang hurriedly shook her head and denied it, and Father Lin continued.
"It's time to divide the grain, and you still want to say that you don't want to divide the family?"
It's no wonder that Father Lin is so sensitive to the matter of separation, because it was a very shameful thing to split up at that time, and the most important thing was the concept of family.
The separation of the old Zhang family in the village has been teased all the time.
Chi Huifang saw that Father Lin was so angry, so she left with her tail between her legs, and glared at Shen Lingxiu fiercely before leaving.
"How can I have such a bad daughter-in-law!" Father Lin pointed to Chi Huifang's back and spoke.
"Dad, don't be angry." Shen Lingxiu put down the rice bag and opened her mouth to comfort.
Lin Ziwen offered to help Shen Lingxiu carry the rice grain bag over, and Shen Lingxiu agreed, after all, this half bag is not light, and if she moves over, it is estimated that half of her arm will be wasted.
I am still very happy to be able to help Shen Lingxiu and Lin Ziwen.
"Lin Ziwen, what do you think of the separation." Shen Lingxiu asked.
Lin Ziwen was stunned when he was asked, but he didn't expect the topic to change to the separation so suddenly.
"I don't think it's appropriate to split up the family and break up the family." Lin Ziwen glanced at Shen Lingxiu and said.
"Why did you remember to ask this?"
"What my sister-in-law and my father said today, I'll ask you casually, don't you think it's a good thing to split up! The sister-in-law who separated the family and saved the province was worried about it, and every time they made their father angry. ”
In fact, what Shen Lingxiu said is not wrong, everything belongs to everyone, a stingy person like Chi Huifang is always worried that others will take advantage of her and she will suffer a loss, maybe she thinks that there are a lot of things in this family, but in fact, it is just a few bags of rice.
Lin Ziwen was thoughtful, he also witnessed Chi Huifang's calculations, and now that he thinks about it, it seems that what Shen Lingxiu said makes sense, but he doesn't have much say in this matter, after all, Father Lin is still there.
In the evening, Lin Ziwen came back from the school and took a detour to the town to pick up Shen Lingxiu and go home.
Su Cuiyu was very sad when she heard that Lin Ziwen's face was bruised, so she specially found a good ointment to visit Lin Ziwen. When she arrived at Lin's house, Shen Lingxiu was gently medicating Lin Ziwen.
She pushed Shen Lingxiu away at once, and the defenseless Shen Lingxiu was startled, and was pushed back a big step, stumbling and almost falling.
Lin Ziwen pulled it anxiously, and Shen Lingxiu didn't fall.
"Jade, what are you doing here? How can you push your sister-in-law? Lin Ziwen opened his mouth to reprimand Su Cuiyu.
Su Cuiyu couldn't see him protecting Shen Lingxiu like this, and opened her mouth with an aggrieved face.
"Brother Ziwen, I heard that you were injured and brought you medicine, and you still murdered me?"
Seeing that she was indeed holding the medicine in her hand, Lin Ziwen was not moved.
"No need, I'm already drugged." opened his mouth with a cold look and openly hurt his wife in front of him, how could he bear it? Lin Ziwen, who has always been good-tempered, did not give Su Cuiyu a good look.
Su Cuiyu looked at herself who was hitting a wall everywhere, stomped her feet, and rushed out of the Lin family, ignoring Chi Huifang who greeted her at the door.
Lin Ziwen went over to check Shen Lingxiu's situation, and if she remembered correctly, she should have twisted her foot just now.
Lin Ziwen approached Shen Lingxiu, and then looked at her feet.
"It's fine." Shen Lingxiu opened her mouth to speak, it was really sudden just now, she was not defenseless at all, there was a faint pain in her ankle, she frowned slightly, leaned down and rubbed it.
Lin Ziwen saw her movements and knew that she had guessed correctly, she really hurt her foot, and her big hand was attached to help Shen Lingxiu rub it carefully.
Shen Lingxiu's face was slightly red and he lowered his head, and at this time, Lin Ziwen just raised his head, his eyes were facing each other, and he was very close, and he found that the position of the mole on the right side of Shen Lingxiu's face seemed to have moved.
"Lingxiu, the mole on your face seems to ......have changed," Lin Ziwen said leisurely.
Shen Lingxiu was taken aback, quickly touched it, and then took the opportunity to press it hard. It seems that I didn't pay attention to it just now, because I stumbled, so it was a little offset.
"How can it be, how is it possible, you must be wrong!" Shen Lingxiu spoke.
"No, I remember being in this position before." Lin Ziwen even stretched out his hand to make a gesture on his face.
After all, he had secretly observed Shen Lingxiu many times, and it was naturally clear where such an obvious mole was.
"Hey, my feet hurt." Shen Lingxiu shifted her attention in a panic, so as not to be exposed, it was not yet time, and the mole on her face should be saved until she met her true destiny.
This trick successfully attracted Lin Ziwen's attention, he stopped the hand that was about to touch Shen Lingxiu's face, checked her feet, and helped her sit down.
Shen Lingxiu took the opportunity to return his mole to its original position, and in the evening, Lin Ziwen personally fetched a basin of water and made a home remedy for Shen Lingxiu's feet.
Shen Lingxiu was a little shy, looking at Lin Ziwen after being busy, so busy that sweat drops appeared on his forehead.
"I'll just do it myself." She opened her mouth and motioned for Lin Ziwen to let her come by herself, but Lin Ziwen didn't get up, and gently wiped her feet with a wet cloth.
