Chapter 57: Driven Out
Chief Steward Zhong pondered and said, "Otherwise, talk to Uncle Lao Zhong and let him discipline him strictly, at least he won't cause trouble for the Lin family." ”
Lin Qingwan's face was flat, "Call Lin Quan, I'll talk to him." ”
Chief Steward Zhong opened his mouth, and when he saw Lin Qingwan's face firm, he could only retreat.
Lin Quan is older than Lin Jiang, nearly forty years old, and his sons are about to get married, but they have not achieved anything.
But this did not prevent him from being proud, after all, his father was the No. 1 loyal minister of the long house, and he protected the old lady from the fire back then.
Lin Quan came running around, and before he could reach the front of him, he bent first, hunched his back to greet Lin Qingwan. "Grandma Ann, Grandma, what do you have to tell the little one to come?"
Lin Qingwan looked him up and down, and saw that his face was full of flattering smiles, and her waist had not bent up since she saw her, she couldn't help sighing, it was so dog-legged that she couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"Lin Quan, the people who want to leave are counted in the house before, your father took the idea, and the old uncle knows that he will not leave the Lin family until he dies, but I want to hear what you mean."
Lin Quan was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he knelt on the ground with a frightened "flutter", walked two steps on his knees and howled: "Auntie, don't drive the little ones away, the little ones will never steal and play tricks in the future, and they will no longer steal the food at home to exchange for wine and drink." The little ones are damned, the little ones are damned-"
Lin Qingwan was dumbfounded, she just wanted to ask him if he wanted to get out of the country and become good......
Seeing Lin Qingwan glaring at him, Lin Quan couldn't help but tremble with fright, and kowtowed: "The little one is damned, the little one is confused, the little one will never dare to do it in the future, you can beat or punish it casually, I just ask you not to drive the little one away......"
"Just take it for my father's merits and hard work......
Lin Qingwan originally wanted to laugh, but at this time, she put away the gentleness on her face and asked with a cold face, "You used your father's credit and hard work to intercede with me, did you ask your father to agree?" ”
Lin Quan raised his head to look at Lin Qingwan with tears and snot on his face, with a blank expression.
Lin Qingwan looked back at him quietly, Lin Quan became more and more worried, a chill rose from the tail of his spine, stimulating his confused brain to wake up for a moment, and he whispered: "I, I am my father's son, he, he should agree, right?" ”
"Can't let Lin Shun be proud of you, do you still have to drag down your old father?"
Lin Quan's face turned red and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
The small courtyard immediately quieted down, and Bai Mei stood aside with her head down, and when it was quiet, the noise outside came in clearly.
"Lin Zhong, you are just a subordinate of our family, do you have the right to speak, hurry up and let me go!" I'm here to see my sister-in-law, what are you doing as a minion......"
Lin Qingwan's eyes swept to Bai Feng, and Bai Feng immediately said in a low voice: "Auntie, it's the third wife in the second room......"
Lin Qingwan frowned slightly, got up and was about to go out, when she passed by Lin Quan, she paused, "You follow." ”
Lin Quan wiped the tears from his face and followed with his head down.
Outside the small courtyard, the third wife was holding a child with one hand and rushing forward, and the old Zhongbo was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't dare to touch her, so he could only retreat again and again.
Originally, this kind of thing should have been done by his daughter-in-law, but his daughter-in-law went to the hot spring to pick vegetables, and the worst thing was that Mama Lin and Mama Wang also followed, and there were only a group of girls and a few old men left in the house, and they couldn't stop this shameless third wife at all.
Lin Qingwan stood at the door of the small courtyard and watched silently for a while, "The third sister-in-law is here?" ”
"Miss!" Uncle Zhong took two steps back with a sweaty face and stood aside.
Lin Qingwan bowed slightly to him, and said to the girls: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you invite the third lady to sit in the flower hall in front of you?" ”
A group of girls immediately stepped forward and hugged the third lady to the flower hall, and said in a loud voice: "What kind of tea and snacks does the third wife want to drink?" The slave and maid will go down and prepare. ”
"The third lady is careful with her feet, don't fall, let the slave and maid hold it for you."
The third wife was about to struggle, but when she saw Lin Qingwan also coming up, she immediately followed them, anyway, she came to look for Lin Qingwan, and she saw her in the backyard, and she saw her in the flower hall.
When they arrived at the flower hall, the third lady directly pushed the girls' hands away and sat on the high chair, because she was not used to sitting on the chair, and pushed her shoes cross-legged onto the chair.
Lin Qingwan paused for a moment before she looked away and sat down on the first seat, "The third sister-in-law is really a distinguished guest, I don't know how I have time to come to the door today." ”
The third lady first hugged the two children in her arms, and then sneered: "The threshold of my sister-in-law's house is really high, it's really not easy to see you, I just ran into a roadblock dog when I entered the door, and I want me to say that my sister-in-law should also rectify the mansion, don't be like masters, slaves are not like slaves." ”
"The third sister-in-law is right, it's time for the main house to be rectified," Lin Qingwan turned her head to Lin Quandao: "Who is guarding the door today, pulling down to play the top ten boards, and reforming his monthly money for three months, the guests will not report to the door, if it weren't for the third sister-in-law to run to the inner courtyard, I don't know that there are guests at home." ”
Lin Quan replied loudly "yes", stared at the third wife with malice, and said, "The slave will go down and order, and let them eat and learn a lesson, and don't put anything dirty and smelly in." ”
The third wife was so angry that she slapped the table and asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”
"The minions are talking about dirty things."
"You! Sister-in-law," the third lady turned her head to glare at Lin Qingwan, "You just let the slave bully your third sister-in-law?" ”
Lin Qingwan smiled and comforted: "The third sister-in-law is too worried, Lin Quan is talking about dirty things, not you, why do you bother to sit down?" ”
The third wife's face changed, and she suddenly hid her face and cried, "I know, my sister-in-law, like the other rooms, looks down on us from the bottom of her heart, and thinks that our second room is a loss of Lin's face." But who doesn't want to have the right to be rich and glorify their ancestors? In the final analysis, your third brother has no ability, and he can't afford to support your nephews and nieces, and he is tired of the ...... in the clan."
Lin Qingwan was silent, waiting for her to throw out the purpose of coming this time.
The third wife cried and cried the ancestors and ancestors, and finally cried to their generation, "Now we have only two brothers and sisters left in the two rooms, and this Manchu is closer to our two families, and we must help each other." ”
The third lady raised her head, pushed the two little girls in front of her to Lin Qingwan and said, "Sister-in-law, look at your two nieces and granddaughters, how bitter they are, they haven't even eaten meat a few times since they were born, so you can pity them and help your third brother more......"
Lin Qingwan smiled and asked, "How does the third sister-in-law want me to help?" ”
The third lady perked up, wiped her tears and said: "Sister-in-law, I don't ask for much, don't you and your eldest sister have to seal a large piece of Jue Tian now, you may not be able to plant so much land, the small village here in Linjiazhuang might as well be handed over to us to plant." We are your brother and sister-in-law, isn't it better to hand it over to us than to hand it over to the next person? Don't look at the old uncle honestly, he is actually treacherous in his heart, for so many years, your father and brother have not taken care of it, who knows how many things he is greedy for......"
Lin Quan's face turned blue, and he jumped to his feet and said, "Third wife, don't slander people, when did my father be greedy for the things in the house?" Over the years, he has never slackened his ......"
Lin Qingwan raised her hand to suppress his roar, looked at the third lady solemnly and said, "Third sister-in-law, the loyalty of the old loyal uncle is not only mine, but also my father and brother are convinced. ”
She sneered, "If you are loyal to our long house, I am afraid that no one can compare with Uncle Zhong, who protected my father from the fire back then." ”
The third wife choked, she was not born when Gengwu was in trouble, but she had also heard about the events of that year, and couldn't help muttering: "If he doesn't protect your father, won't he have to be buried in the fire?" ”
Lin Qingwan couldn't hear it, and asked lightly, "So the third sister-in-law came to rent my family's land?" ”
"It's not renting, it's taking care of it for you," the third lady perked up and said with great interest: "Your third brother is very good at managing things, don't worry, with him in charge of you, this Zhuangzi will definitely be taken care of properly, and there will be a bumper harvest every year." ”
"Thank you for the kindness of the third brother and sister-in-law, but I have no intention of changing the stewardship, but let you run for nothing."
The third wife's face stiffened, and her face also turned cold, "His sister-in-law, you have to think clearly, this old uncle is old, how many years can he work?" Will this Zhuangzi be handed over to him in the future? ”
The third lady pointed at Lin Quan and said, "He is a lazy person, would you rather give him such a servant than give it to your third brother?" ”
"Third sister-in-law, how can Lin Quan be as bad as you say?" Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "What's more, this Zhuangzi is not to be handed over to anyone, but I am in charge of it myself." In the future, all the income in this land will be used to take care of the main house and the sacrifices of the descendants, so I dare not borrow the hands of others. ”
"Fart, who doesn't know that Zhuangzi is controlled by Lao Zhongbo's family, you say you are in charge, do you know the seedlings, do you know the next seed," the third wife was angry, "Sister-in-law, you can't listen to those Diao slaves and stay away from your own brothers......"
Lin Qingwan sighed faintly, "My brother is watching us from the sky, third sister-in-law, do you want to see my brother?" ”
The third lady choked half to death.
Lin Qingwan admired her face for a moment, and beckoned: "There are still many things to be busy today, so I won't leave the third sister-in-law to eat, come and send off guests!" ”
Lin Quan immediately jumped out and said, "Third wife, please." ”
The third lady stood up, and then sat on the ground with her buttocks, patting her thighs and about to howl, Lin Qingwan said coldly: "Go, please ask the patriarch and the three sect elders to come, ask them, the people in the second room come to the long room to spread wildness, do they care or not." ”
Originally, Lin Yong was in a state of tearing her face, but Lin Qingwan was so happy that she no longer pretended, and waved her hand: "Please ask the third wife to go out, and tell the doorman, and then let people in in the future, and leave with the baggage." ”
Lin Quan responded, and with a wave of his hand, he took a group of girls to drag the third wife out, and the two little girls were hugged by the two girls, and they also took snacks to coax, so that no one cried.
But the third wife howled like a pig, "Lin Qingwan, you have no conscience, you are willing to give food to the Eryun family who is separated by seventeen or eighteen rooms, and you are not willing to help your brother, so that there is no distinction between relatives and relatives, and you are not afraid that the ancestors will die of anger when you go underground......"
Lin Qingwan only then knew why she came to make trouble, she walked to the door and saw many clansmen outside the door, obviously attracted by the screams of the third wife.
The girls pushed the third wife directly to the bottom of the steps, and then clapped their hands and went back to stand behind Lin Qingwan.
Lin Qingwan looked at the third wife condescendingly, swept around the clansmen, and sneered: "Third sister-in-law, the farm of Linjiazhuang is used to worship the heirs, although it is not a sacrificial field, it is better than a sacrificial field, not to mention you, even if the three uncles come, they can't take this farmland from me." So I advise you to do less about this farmland. ”
The clansmen were shocked, and then they understood why the third wife was thrown out, and they were not surprised by Lin Qingwan's behavior of asking someone to push the third wife out.
"Also, you and I are separated from the room, this is already the fifth suit, my own brother is in the sky, not the third brother. Counting up, our Linjiazhuang is from the same ancestor, so I help the poor and the weak, and when I go underground, I believe that the ancestors will not blame me. It's not just the Eryun family who got the longhouse grain this year, isn't it possible that the third sister-in-law thinks they don't deserve it? Lin Qingwan sneered: "Third sister-in-law, go back and tell the third brother that our Changfang has no plans to have a step-heir, let him stop claiming to be the orthodox identity of the Changfang, otherwise the ancestor of the second room will really come to him." ”
The clansmen laughed and persuaded the third wife: "The third family, go back quickly, this clan has already made a decision, and the long house is now in charge of Sister Wan'er." ”
"This is really a bad descendant, I want to change my ancestors, and the ancestors of the second room are really going to be angry."
"It's all about money, do you think if there is no money in the long house, will the third child still hold on? I'm afraid that it's the same as seeing Eryun and his mother, and I'm going to take a detour when I see it from afar, for fear of getting bad luck. ”
