Chapter 351: Surrender
The crowd outside was almost dispersed, and there were still a few idle people who had nothing to do to gather and talk, if Lin Tong was allowed to leave like this, the liveliness of the old Xu family would be added to it.
Xu Laosan hurriedly grabbed her, and whispered with a smiling face: "Sister-in-law, our mother has a bad temper today, don't care, come into the house quickly." β
Lin Tong glanced back, the old lady turned her head and didn't say a word, she knew in her heart, this is what it means not to let her go.
She turned around and entered the house, Xu Laosan followed behind and moved the things she bought, "Where did my sister-in-law buy the meat?" Doesn't that look like pork? β
"Beef, it was said that the cow leg in which village was broken, so the cow was killed, and it happened to come across it, so I bought some."
Xu Laosan said happily: "This beef is a good thing, Mom, look at it, what's going on with this thing?" β
Such a big piece, enough to have more than a dozen catties, this is not winter, at most a day or two, Xu Laosan thought, the children were still clamoring to eat meat last night, and today the sister-in-law moved such a large piece, which is enough to satisfy her hunger.
The old lady had a gloomy face, "Your sister-in-law is back, let's stew a piece at noon, and let your daughter-in-law come over to make dumplings in the evening, and the rest will be sauced." "The sauce is salty, and it can be left for a few days, and then I eat it all.
This is what it means to be soft with Lin Tong.
Lin Tong didn't care about the old lady, "Okay, I haven't eaten beef dumplings for a long time, there are green onions at home, the third child, you chop the stuffing, this stuffing is a hard work." β
Xu Laosan glanced at the old lady, saw that she didn't squeak, felt a little strange in his heart, and promised to go to work.
Cut off a piece of meat first, which is ready to be stewed at noon, "Sister-in-law, do you think it's enough to stew at noon?" β
"If you have more, the kids love meat." Xu Lao Er sighed and cut off a large piece of meat, and his good impression of his sister-in-law was rising!
Lin Tong didn't care about him anymore and entered the house by himself.
The old man was smoking a cigarette pouch, and the old lady said to him: "My daughter-in-law is pregnant, stop smoking, the house is full of cigarettes." β
The old man was very obedient and stopped pumping, and opened a crack in the window to let out air.
Lin Tong sat on the small bed she slept in, "Dad, smoking is not good for your health, you should smoke less in the future!" β
The old man nodded again and again, "Alas, alas, smoke less, smoke less." β
Lin Tong asked the old lady again: "I heard Yubo say that my mother was sick a few days ago?" How's your body doing now? Is it so good? β
Her words of concern soothed the old lady's expression a lot, and she no longer had a gloomy face as if she owed her two hundred yuan before, but her tone was still rigid, "Okay, it's okay." β
Lin Tong didn't care, the old lady had been like this all her life, and it wasn't just for her.
Besides, she had to be angry with herself, and she just wanted to open it.
But she and the old lady have nothing to say, but how embarrassing it is not to speak, she talked to the old lady about how Xiao Nian is sensible, how good to study, etc., although the old lady is eccentric, but she is also distressed about her grandson, her face is getting better and better, and she says a few words from time to time.
When Xu Laosan cut the meat to be stewed at noon, called the old lady to cook, and Lin Tong was about to go, the old lady stopped her, "You rest, I'll do it." β..
Lin Tong waited for the old lady to go out, and then asked his father-in-law in a low voice, "Who are those people who came to find the eldest sister?" β
The old man sighed, "Eldest daughter-in-law, don't worry about this matter!" β
Lin Tong just wanted to determine whether it was Yuanyuan who attracted it, or if Sister Xu's man came to her, but seeing that the old man's attitude was not like it, as if there was something unspeakable, it made her even more curious.
But it seems that the old man will definitely not say it, so Lin Tong didn't ask again, but the old man asked why Xu Zhenhua didn't come back.
"He can't walk away from the army, and a few days ago I heard that my mother-in-law was sick, so I came back to take a look, and when I got home, I heard Yubo say that my mother-in-law was also sick." Lin Tong frowned, and took the initiative to mention the matter of Xu Lao Er, "Guihua went to find me, Xiaohong and Xiaomei also went to me yesterday, Dad, you are the head of the family, tell me, what should I do about this?" β
Because of this second son, the old couple was heartbroken, but they couldn't help it, they scolded and scolded, beat and beaten, he promised to be good in person, as soon as the woman went to find him, he changed the hexagram, which really made the family helpless.
The old man encountered a difficulty, subconsciously wanted to light the cigarette bag pot, as soon as the match was drawn, he saw Lin Tong sitting on the small bed opposite, he hesitated, the match burned to the end, he hurriedly threw the finished match to the ground, sighed, lowered his head, and looked angry.
Lin Tong knew at a glance that the old man didn't have any ideas.
The old lady is used to being in charge of the big and small things in the family, and the old man has always been the only one headed by the old lady.
The old lady stewed the beef outside, and instructed Xu Laosan to cut potatoes and ask for a potato stew.
Xu Laosan listened to the peeling of potatoes, and whispered to the old lady: "What did my sister-in-law say, what should I do about this?" You and my dad need to get a charter out sooner! Just like my second brother, the rumors outside are ugly, Tiezhu is twelve years old, and he should find a daughter-in-law in a few years, just like that, when people hear that it is the old Xu family, who dares to marry the girl in! A little money is out there! β
The old lady was upset, and threw the big horse spoon in her hand, "These are not worrying about each one!" β
In the past, the second child was lazy, but there was no other problem, but since he went to work in the town, he has opened his eyes and has many problems, which is not related to the improper woman.
The old lady actually blamed the eldest son in her heart, and felt that if it weren't for him, the second son would not be able to run to the south, so she became even more violent.
Now that the second child has seen the world, he looks down on Wang Guihua's submissive appearance, and with money, they can't control him, and things are getting worse and worse.
Lin Tong didn't know that the old lady and Wang Guihua were in the same mind.
Xu Zhenhua can be said to have done bad things with good intentions, and no one appreciates it or says it, and blames him.
As for saying that staying in the local area may be arrested during the crackdown, they don't consider that: isn't it Xu Shengli, they are all villagers in the township, don't you believe that they have arrested the second child so unexpectedly?
I can't say for sure.
At the beginning, Xu Zhenhua took precautions to get people away.
Until dinner, the family didn't say one, two, three, Lin Tong thought to himself, this is your son messing around with women outside, if your aunt marries this one-person family, can you still have this attitude?
However, when he thought of Sister Xu again, Lin Tong lost his temper.
This family, sometimes the thinking is really different from other people's families, Lin Tong really has a deep understanding, all of them are a little neurotic, and they like to put the responsibility on outsiders, even Xu Zhenhua, who is more reasonable and honest, will often make this mistake.
Because of this, she also criticized men several times......
After eating, Lin Tong took the initiative to clean up the table, wash the dishes and chopsticks, Xu Laosan went home, and she went to the Westhouse to sleep.
She was woken up by the sound of the old couple arguing.
She was lying on the kang, listening to the louder and louder quarrels in the East House, and the old man scolded her: "Shut up, don't be afraid that your daughter-in-law will hear the joke about you!" β
The old lady cried whining, "What's the joke, what face do I have after such a fuss?" It's better to die......" The latter words gradually became inaudible.
Lin Tong was shocked, he didn't know what was so serious, and he even mentioned "death"!
What kind of trouble does "such a trouble" refer to?
Did someone come to find Sister Xu today, or did someone come to inquire about Sister Xu before? Are these two times the same group?
If it doesn't refer to Sister Xu, is it the matter of the second sister Xu?
But in any case, it won't be so serious!
Lin Tong thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out.
After lying down for a while, there was no sound in the east house, and the old lady went to the kitchen, and after a while, the kitchen heard the sound of chopping meat.
Lin Tong got up and went to the kitchen, "Mom, I'll chop it!" β
In the morning, Xu Laosan was asked to chop out the meat filling, apparently he was lazy and only cut the meat into small pieces.
"No need for you, you're pregnant with a child, I'll come!" The old lady's tone was calm, and she pushed Lin Tong away, slamming the meat as if venting.
Lin Tong just took two steps back, and Xu Laosan and Li Yubo walked in one after the other.
"Mom, I'll come, I'll come." Xu Laosan was still quite conscious and took the kitchen knife.
Li Yubo called "Dad, Mom" first, and then pulled Lin Tong to Westinghouse to talk.
"Xiaohong went to you yesterday?"
Lin Tong snorted, "Gui Hua told you?" β
"Well, Xiaohong said, you promised to help?"
Lin Tong smiled bitterly, "What's the use of me agreeing?" Do you think your second brother will listen to me? β
Li Yubo was stunned for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "It should beβit will!" The second brother is still pointing to you to make money? If you don't listen, you cut off his salary, so that he can't earn money, and see how he can still be scared? β
Only then did Lin Tong understand the meaning of the two younger brothers-in-law.
They didn't think that they were the eldest daughter-in-law and could control the second child before they came to her.
Instead, they feel that the couple is the economic lifeblood of the second child......
She sighed, "You're thinking too simply. The second child has been outside for more than a year, do you think that if we cut off his salary, and even don't use him, he has no choice at all? β
If he doesn't get it, he wishes Xu Zhenhua wouldn't use him anymore, so that he can do it alone.
Selling small people also earns more than working for others.
You know, he went home for two months, and he didn't get paid. But he can do whatever he wants, it's not a rhythm that he has no money to spend.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask Li Yubo, "When the second child came back, what did they buy for our mother?" Did you give the money? And Gui Huana? How much money did the dick take to come back? β
Li Yubo pursed his lips, "I bought some kelp, seaweed, dried shrimp or something, and I also bought an electronic watch for everyone in the family." The two cubs in my family are so happy when they talk about the second uncle. I don't know how much money I gave to my mother, but it's for sure. Gui Hua gave 200 yuan, Gui Hua would live, and immediately went to the credit union to save it. β
There is no jealousy like before, but a little contemptible, "I walked for almost a year and a half before I went home to get 200 yuan, and I don't know what my surname is!" I don't earn money at home, I can earn two or three hundred yuan a year, and I can take care of my family, I don't have to leave my family and run so far, and I don't know what he has to do! β
