After Lin Tong's father died, Lin Tongniang cried every day and night, and it didn't take long for her eyes to cry.

The eldest daughter-in-law's name is Zhang Xiuhua, and her family lives in Dashilizi Village, which is still in Yangshu Village, and there are no acres of land in the whole village, which is poorer than the Lin family.

After Zhang Xiuhua entered the door, he became the master of the house, and Lin Tong's good life was completely gone.

Go up the mountain to hunt pigweed, chop firewood, weed in the field, plant the land, do all the work anyway, and depending on the face of the sister-in-law, you can't eat enough.

People say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, but Lin Tong just has a sister-in-law, and even the eldest brother has become a queen.

The sister-in-law is very capable of giving birth, and she gave birth to three sons in seven years, and the Lin family is poor, and there is nothing, so she takes advantage of her son.

The second brother Lin Jianguo is an honest mountain man, the family's money is in the hands of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, he is also twenty-four years old and has not yet married, Lin Tong's blind mother is in a hurry, looking for someone to say that he co-authored, married a widow from Poplar Village, and took a four-year-old daughter, when he got married, he had nothing, so he went to the woman's house with a bed.

Now I have also given birth to a son, who is three years old this year.

Sangelin is twenty-five years old and has not yet married.

He is not like the eldest brother, who has no brotherhood at all; is not as honest as the second brother who does not dare to speak, and he is angry; A few years ago, he was beaten by his sister-in-law because Lin Tong was slow to cook, and he ran out after a big quarrel with them, saying that he would come back to take his mother and sister out.

But I haven't come back for a few years, and I haven't even written a letter, and I don't know if I'm dead or alive?

Two years ago, Lin Tong was sixteen years old, her long eyebrows and eyes were clear and literate, unlike many other girls in the village who had only studied for a year or even never studied. Because Lin Tong is an old man and is very loved by her parents, she studied until she was ten years old when her father died before dropping out of school and returning home.

She was very smart and wanted to leave the countryside through studying, so although she only studied for three years, she finished all the primary school textbooks by herself.

When Lin Tong grew up, there were many people in the village and nearby who were matchmakers, they were remote and poor here, and most of the girls in the countryside married early, and it was normal for them to marry at the age of seventeen or eight, but there were many people who married at the age of sixteen.

Those who opened their mouths to mention family affairs were stopped by Zhang Xiuhua, this sister-in-law is capable, she wants to stay and help her work for a few more years.

Moreover, this sister-in-law is good-looking and literate, she wants to wait for the price and sell, to see who has more bride price.

After Lin Tong knew his sister-in-law's plan, he racked his brains to find a way. She didn't want to marry those young men who were also from the mountains, she wanted to get out of the mountains, but before she could figure out a way, a thunderbolt on a sunny day almost killed her.

The village is poor, and the nearby villages are even poorer, Zhang Xiuhua's mother's younger brother is twenty years old, and a few years ago he had a lame leg due to an accident, and the originally scheduled daughter-in-law's family withdrew, and now he is still playing single, and the sister and brother hit Lin Tong with their ideas.

Lin Tong is an ambitious girl, she doesn't want to live in the village for the rest of her life, marry a farmer to farm and have children like other girls, let alone a cripple.

She cried and made trouble, hanged herself and threw herself into the river, Lin Tongniang was also crying at home, and even looking for death and life, Lin Jianguo and his wife also came forward to stop it, and found Lin Tong's uncle.

Although Lin Jiefang listened to his daughter-in-law's words, he couldn't really force his own old lady to death, and the only elder besides the old lady spoke, so Zhang Xiuhua dispelled this idea.

Lin Tong didn't believe Zhang Xiuhua.

She looked at herself like the fat pig at home, as if she was going to fatten her and slaughter her. She was afraid that her sister-in-law would one day really marry her lame brother, so she didn't even dare to go home, and lived in the second brother's house in Yangshu Village.

Fortunately, the second sister-in-law Luo Fengzhi is a good person and treats her very well, although the family is poor, she does not dislike her at all.

Lin Tong wanted to marry as soon as possible, she heard that there was a company commander who was a soldier in Yangshu Village, and his wife had been dead for three years, which was the only one in several neighboring villages who ate public food, so she put her mind on this company commander.

Lin Tong is young and doesn't think long-term, so she is bent on currying favor with the company commander's mother, wanting to see if she can be recognized by her as her goddaughter, and when the time comes, please the old lady and let his son introduce him to a soldier who eats imperial food.

But after two years of contact, Lin Tongniang and her second brother and sister-in-law took a fancy to the company commander, and felt that marrying a company commander would have a salary of more than 30 yuan every month, which was much better than them not having enough to eat all year round.

Lin Jiefang originally listened to his daughter-in-law and wanted to marry his sister to his brother-in-law, but later listened to Lin Tongniang's words and felt that it was a good idea to have a company commander's brother-in-law.

And Lin Tong has been doing housework since she was a child, she is indeed capable, beautiful and talkative, and even the eldest mother likes her very much.

The important thing is that the five-year-old son of the company commander's family likes Lin Tong very much.

Although Lin Tong is scheming and wants to get out of the mountains, after all, he is young and his mind is not bad, and he deliberately coaxes Xu Lianchang's son and often takes him to play, and after two years, the relationship between the two is still good.

It's just that this Company Commander Xu is already thirty years old, twelve years older than Lin Tong, and coincidentally, the two of them turned out to be on the same birthday, both of which were birthdays on August 19 in the fall.

Lin Tong felt that the difference between the two was a little big at first, but under the persuasion of Xu's mother, her mother and her second sister-in-law, she gradually felt that this family business was good, and she could carp jump the dragon gate after getting married, and when she left the countryside, she agreed to this family business.

Company Commander Xu's name is Xu Zhenhua, and he went to serve as a soldier after graduating from junior high school, and now he has been fourteen or five years.

After his wife went home to handle his wife's funeral, he left his son in his hometown and left him for five years, and he never came back to visit his relatives.

This time, Xu's mother deceived her eldest son back under the pretext that she was seriously ill, and wanted him to marry Lin Tong, but she was rejected.

Xu's mother saw that he was unwilling and didn't mention it, he thought his mother wanted to open it, so he told his mother that he wanted to marry an elementary school teacher near the garrison unit, and he also wanted to take his son away after getting married.

Xu's mother didn't look good at the time, but she still agreed, and the night before he left, he drank too much with his two younger brothers and several relatives.

After waking up, he found that he and Lin Tong were sleeping in a quilt without clothes.

It's the room where Lin Tong is staying now.

Xu Zhenhua immediately knew that he was calculated, and smashed the family in a fit of anger, and said that he would rather be a bachelor for the rest of his life than marry such a calculating woman.

Mother Xu cried and wiped her tears and said that he was unfilial and wanted to go to the army to sue him.

was disgusted like this, and Lin Tong was a strong person, he felt that he had no face to see people, and cried and shouted that he was not alive.

Later, at the behest of her mother and mother-in-law, she pretended to hang herself, but she didn't expect to really put herself in.
