Chapter 220: Adding fuel to the fire
Xu Xiaowan took her hand and advised, "Just find a cheap one to sleep on, your second brother doesn't pick, your eldest brother doesn't have to worry about him." "The old lady is worried, there are so many people, I don't know how long I will live, and whether the money in my daughter's hand is enough to spend?
Fortunately, when she came, the second daughter-in-law brought her the 500 yuan she mailed back to see a doctor, and hurriedly handed it over to her daughter in the evening.
Lin Tong and the second brother Lin Jianguo went out.
As soon as he got out of the yard, the second brother sighed, and gave her a sincere voice, "It's the second brother who can't stand you, I didn't think about it so much, someone in the village looked at the remittance slip and asked me, I said that it was you who gave our mother the money for treatment, and this matter reached the ears of your mother-in-law, she scolded in the village for several days, went to ask our mother for money, and was pushed back by your second sister-in-law......"
Lin Tong could imagine that the whole village could be jumped by the chickens and dogs made by her mother-in-law......
This mother-in-law's family is in the same village, and there are no secrets at all, so it's hard to think about it.
Lin Jianguo continued: "Later, you wrote to say that you wanted our mother to come to the capital to see a doctor, and our mother really missed you, so I discussed with your second sister-in-law that I would accompany her." But I can't help but talk to my eldest brother about this, and my eldest brother wants to follow, but my mother won't let me, and my eldest brother didn't say anything, I thought he was sensible! As a result, my mother and I got on the bus and looked at him and the lock, I hadn't bought a ticket yet, I was wearing torn clothes, people came to check the ticket and said that there was no money, I gave the ticket, I didn't have the face to see people, and our mother was even more angry and cried for a long time. ”
Lin Tong thought to herself, this Lin Jiefang is really thick-skinned, she shouldn't be soft-hearted and help him think of the idea of a small business before she leaves......
Lin Jianguo said again, "Half an hour later, your mother-in-law came from another carriage with a few children, people don't know where they heard about it, maybe they were afraid that we would take advantage of us, so they also wanted to follow, and they all got on the car, and said that they were going to their son's house, we said that it was too late, and Aunt Xu said that we would go to my son's house, and we couldn......'t care about it."
And that's how it turned out.
His tone was heavy, "There are so many people, it's a burden to you, fortunately, when I came, your second sister-in-law loaded me with two hundred yuan, and I will use this money to rent a house in a while!" ”
Two hundred yuan, I'm afraid that the two of them have worked hard for a year and a half to load the money.
Lin Tong waved his hand, "Okay, second brother, I don't blame you for this." I don't need your money, I have money in my hands. ”
Of course Lin Jianguo didn't believe it, "If you give it to you, you will take it, what kind of money can you have, just Zhenhua's salary, and you have to give some to the family, it would be good to be able to live in your hands." ”
He thought that the five hundred were saved by his sister and brother-in-law from between their teeth.
Lin Tong smiled: "You still don't believe me? Can I give you ideas to make money, but I won't earn it myself? She didn't want to say this, so she changed the subject, "I think our mother looks like she can look at me?" ”
"What are you looking at? You are her girl, she is familiar with you, you must be able to watch, see that you are so thin now, I am distressed. He looked at his sister, "I didn't ask if there were many people just now, but your second sister-in-law asked me to ask you, is something wrong?" Otherwise, why did you and Xiao Nian also come to the capital? It's been less than two years, how did you lose weight to hemp stick? ”
Luo Fengzhi asked her in the letter, of course she wouldn't tell the truth, she just said that it was fine.
But everyone didn't believe it.
Whose men go to study, and women and children follow?
But it's far away, she doesn't say it, and her family doesn't know.
"Didn't I say it, it's really nothing, it's just that there are many opportunities in the capital, I thought, I can make money here!"
Lin Jianguo didn't believe it.
Lin Tong said haha, "Let's go, a few days ago, a friend just quit the house and went back to his hometown, go over to see if he rented it out?" ”
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lin Jianguo said distressedly: "You just want to make money, you have to take care of your body, what's the use of earning more money, your body is the most important thing." Also, your second sister-in-law said, let you hurry up and have a child, no matter how good Xiao Nian is, he is not biological, why do you have to have a child of your own. ”
Lin Tong doesn't like to listen to the sentence "No matter how good it is, it's not biological", it's better to be kind than to raise it, and there is always a reward for paying.
She firmly believes that Xu Nian is not a child who forgets his roots.
But it's useless to say now, it depends on the future.
"I know, I know in my heart, you tell my second sister-in-law, I thank her for thinking about it."
Lin Jianguo saw that she didn't care, and sighed lightly, her sister has grown up and has her own ideas, they can only mention it, but they can't say more, as if they are provoking.
took the bus and went to the house that Chang Yulan had rented before, and only then did I know that the house had already been rented out again, and Lin Tongbai took a trip.
I didn't find a house, so she went to a street hotel and asked, there must be a letter of introduction to the hotel, Lin Jianguo and they all went to the village to open it, this is not worried, but this room is very small, four can't live, to open two rooms, so it costs more than four yuan a night, a little expensive.
Lin Jianguo felt that it was not Xiaogui, but a slander, he pulled his little sister, "It's too expensive, let's go, go to another house and ask." ”
There are only a few individual hotels that dare to eat crabs, and there are no ones nearby, unless you go to the vicinity of the train station.
Lin Tong said: "Let's open for two days first, you can't live on the street." ”
showed the letter of introduction and opened two rooms, Lin Tong saw that the second brother was still depressed, so he explained him, "Actually, it's not expensive to think about it, it's close to the hospital, it's convenient for you to go to the hospital to take care of our mother, and besides, there is water, electricity, and bedding here, if you rent a house, the futon is also a thing, and some houses are just empty tubes, and there are no wooden beds, why do you live there?" ”
With such persuasion, Lin Jianguo felt better.
"I'll take my eldest brother and the lock back in two days." If he hadn't had to take care of his mother, he would have gone back today and let his little sister save the money.
Two elder brothers, why are their personalities so bad?
Lin Tong thought to himself, I don't know what the third brother who doesn't know his whereabouts is like?
Although the original owner is busy, after all, it has been a long time, and it can't all rely on memory.
Lin Tong took his second brother to the farmers' market again, looking at such a prosperous market, Lin Jianguo was very surprised, "Why are there so many people in this market?" Our family has developed fast enough, and there are not so many people! ”
How can a town compare to the capital?
Lin Tong first went to the grocery store to buy meat, she didn't have a lot of meat tickets in her hand, so she bought four taels, this bit of meat was not enough for a child to eat, she went to the market, fortunately there was meat to sell, she cut a large piece, enough to have five catties, and went to buy cabbage and vermicelli, ready to stew meat at night.
When I saw that there was an elbow seller, I bought two of them, and prepared to cook them in the evening, and eat them at noon tomorrow.
Lin Jianguo saw that she was spending money like running water, and after a while, he spent half a month's living expenses on their family, and he sweated in distress, pulling her and saying, "Enough is enough, don't buy it." ”
What to eat without buying? That's a lot of people! came all the way to her, and if you don't like it, you have to entertain her.
Lin Tong didn't buy ribs and pig's trotters and other bones, but when he saw that there was a pig's large intestine, he bought some more, the eldest brother and the second brother both liked this thing, fragrant!
She didn't like it and didn't want to do it, so she bought it back just for Boss Lin to clean up.
She went to the stall selling dim sum again, and with so many children in the family, she always had to buy more snacks and snacks.
If you're hungry, you can take a bite.
Lin Jianguo was a little scared when he saw his little sister buying things, and thought to himself that no wonder the old lady of the Xu family scolded her for being a loser, isn't this a loser!
Two catties of sugar cubes, two catties of biscuits, two catties of mung bean cake, two catties of trough cake, and two catties of peach crisp.
Fortunately, there is a second brother with her, if it were her, she wouldn't be able to get back so many things.
Lin Jianguo couldn't stop complaining to her: "Is it easy for you to make some money?" What are you buying so much for? It's almost enough, don't listen to the boss's nonsense, their family is reluctant to eat the money they earn, this is a big eater here. ”
"It's okay, isn't this just you? I can't afford it if it's been a long time. ”
Lin Tong asked how the second brother's business was?
When Lin Jianguo talked about this, the man who has never been very fond of squeaking also danced with his eyebrows, "Your second sister-in-law is more capable than me, I am clumsy, I sell a few yuan a day when it is not good, and then I will go home to farm in the spring, and your second sister-in-law sells alone in front of the station, and the business has been good." By the way, you don't know yet, I divided the land with your second sister-in-law, and last year's harvest was average, but at the end of the year, you can also remove the chewing grain and there are still three heads and two hundred left, which is much stronger than before, and the famine we owed before last year was over. This year's year is good, I estimate that the harvest can be better, your second sister-in-law earns money to bring out all the food and drink, and there can be fifty or sixty yuan every month, at the end of the year, I farm and sell grain, that is a net profit, in two years, I am ready to build a big tile house, the children will be older in the future, let them all sleep in separate rooms, our mother will follow us in the future, that Zhang Xiuhua is not a good one, picky and lazy, I don't want our mother to serve them......"
Lin Tong listened, echoing from time to time, it seems that the life of the second brother and sister-in-law is indeed much better, and she is happy for them when she listens.
Lin Jianguo said with some regret, "Life is getting better and better, but I don't know where your third brother has been staying all these years?" ”
Hearing him mention Lin Laosan, Lin Tong was a little curious, "Has my third brother never written back?" ”
"Nope. The third child was not worried, he ran away in a fit of anger, and left a letter saying that he would not come back if he didn't mix up. He thought it was so easy to mix up outside? Alas, if our mother hadn't remembered him, her eyes wouldn't have been able to see so early, and she wouldn't be worry-free! ”
This "all" refers not only to the third child, but also to Boss Lin.
Lin Tong didn't know whether this person was alive or dead, eight or nine years had passed, and if he didn't get a letter, it was unlikely that he would be alive.
Her impression of the third brother is all from the original owner, but the original owner was still young at the time, and she only knew that the third brother loved to tease her, but she also loved her, and the other impressions were not too deep.
She persuaded dryly: "Maybe the third brother is doing well now, maybe he doesn't want to go home, and you may not be worried about the second brother." ”
Girl, are you sure you're not adding fuel to the fire?
When Lin Jianguo heard this, he really became even more angry, and he even scolded him, "This little rabbit cub, you are doing well, but you wrote to say it?" Let Mom think about it, something without conscience! ”
Lin Tong: "......"
She'd better shut up!
She felt that it was not very likely that Lin Laosan would be alive. 2k reading web
