Chapter 205: Grandma arrives
As soon as Duoduo saw that it was Mrs. Lin, her face stinked at that time, what good thing would happen to her!
Liu Cuihua and Chen Meiling were also as cold as ice and turned a blind eye to Mrs. Lin.
Tao Aiguo is the eldest son, so he had to welcome him out of the house, and said lightly: "Why is grandma free." ”
While walking into the house, Mrs. Lin looked strangely at the black fungus and shiitake mushrooms all over the yard, and said mockingly: "I didn't see your family go to my house to give a festival gift after the Dragon Boat Festival, so my wife came to see you with an old bone." ”
Duoduo said coolly: "This is really the sun hitting the west, when my mother was beaten by the Tao family, I didn't see my grandmother's family come to my mother's house alone, but now I actually want to come to see us." ”
Mrs. Lin's face collapsed, and she said to Lin Yongfang with an ugly expression: "You take care of your daughter, look at what you are used to, adults talk and children listen!" Where is she to interject! As he spoke, he had already entered the room.
Lin Yongfang pulled a stool and gave it to Mrs. Lin: "Mom, you sit." He poured her another glass of cold boiled water: "Mom, you drink water." ”
added: "Duoduo is also a married person, not a child, why can't she speak?" Besides, it's not that I don't go to my mother's house to give a gift, it's that no matter what I send to my mother, I will be unhappy, and I don't want to upset my mother, so I just don't go. ”
Mrs. Lin showed a little embarrassment on her face, but it quickly dissipated, she sat on the stool like a queen mother, glanced at the cold boiled water in Lin Yongfang's hand, frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Your mother is so old that she came from afar, do you just give a glass of cold boiled water?" ”
Lin Yongfang didn't have a smile on her face at all, put the cold boiled water in her hand on the dining table, and was about to go to the thatched house to get brown sugar for Mrs. Lin to drink, but was stopped by Duoduo, she said to Mrs. Lin with a smile: "Does grandma want to drink sugar water?" It's a pity that we have a little good thing in our house, my mother has already sent it to my grandmother's house, and there is no sugar at home, how can I make sugar water for my grandmother to drink? Grandma doesn't want to drink cold boiled water, so she can only make a cup of salted boiled water, does grandma drink it? ”
Mrs. Lin's face sank, and she couldn't help but be thirsty, so she had to take the cup of cold boiled water and drink it all, put the cup down, and said coldly to Lin Yongfang: "Eat rice." It was clearly a commanding tone.
Lin Yongfang walked into the kitchen and made a bowl of white rice for Mrs. Lin, so that the rice that was originally cooked was just enough for everyone to cook, but now because there is an extra Mrs. Lin, there is no rice to eat.
So Lin Yongfang only put two sweet potatoes in his bowl, and when Duoduo saw it, he said to Lin Yongfang: "Mom, eat rice, I'll eat two sweet potatoes." ”
Lin Yongfang said with a smile: "You are a married daughter, and you will be a guest when you go back to your parents' house, how can you be asked to eat sweet potatoes?" ”
"What a guest is not a guest, I'm my mother's daughter, okay." Duoduo couldn't help but say that he exchanged his rice with Lin Yongfang's two sweet potatoes.
Tao Aijia saw that he wanted to change with Duoduo, but Duoduo insisted on refusing: "The third brother has to work in the afternoon, you change with me, you can't eat, how can you have the strength to work?" Besides, I eat well every day in the city, so it's okay to eat less now. ”
Tao Aijia had to rely on her, and after a while, Mrs. Lin dragged the egg soup to herself, and scooped up all the eggs in it with chopsticks, leaving only the soup with shallots.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.
Mrs. Lin ate with peace of mind, glanced at Duoduo coldly, and asked Lin Yongfang condescendingly: "I heard that your family Duoduo married a rich officer?" ”
"The officer doesn't have any money." Lin Yongfang deliberately said this to save Mrs. Lin the idea of playing Duoduo.
Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment as if she was eating something, she heard rumors that Duoduo married a very rich officer and gave Lin Yongfang a lot of dowry, so she came to ask for a few money to spend, but before she could speak, this topic was blocked by Lin Yongfang, so she asked again: "Why are you drying so many black fungus and mushrooms?" ”
couldn't hide this, Lin Yongfang had to answer: "Of course it's for sale." ”
Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up: "Can these things be sold for money?" Then I'll go back and pick some with your dad, and you can help us sell them. ”
Duoduo sneered: "We are worried about the market, you still want us to help sell!" Isn't this a fool's dream! ”
Mrs. Lin ran into a wall one after another, a little unhappy, and said to Lin Yongfang with a cold face: "Look at what your daughter said, she just doesn't want to help us at all!" You shouldn't be like your daughter, regardless of whether your parents live or die. ”
While eating, Lin Yongfang lowered his head and said lightly: "How can you help if you don't have that ability?" The third brother-in-law seems to be quite capable, so my mother should go to the third sister's family for help. ”
Mrs. Lin didn't expect that even this road was blocked by Lin Yongfang, it seems that those rumors are not rumors, Lin Yongfang is not rich and has a hard waist, how dare she speak to her like this.
Mrs. Lin has always been a snob, since Lin Yongfang's family is developed, she naturally has a different face, although she is angry in her heart, but she will not dictate to Lin Yongfang like before.
So a table of people was eating sullenly, Duoduo hoped that Mrs. Lin would leave after eating, she was here, and it was not convenient for their family to say anything.
But after eating, Mrs. Lin had no intention of leaving, and asked Tao Aiguo to go out and buy a watermelon for her to eat.
Liu Cuihua hurriedly said: "There are no watermelons to sell in our village, and we want to buy watermelons to the neighboring villages, but I and Aiguo still have to cut the grass and feed the sheep, so we can't find time to go so far to buy melons, and we will buy them for my grandmother to eat next time my grandmother comes." With that, he pulled Tao Aiguo and left.
Seeing this, Chen Meiling also pulled Tao Aiming's clothes, and the husband and wife hid in the room.
Tao Aijia carried a basket to the mountains to pick black fungus and shiitake mushrooms, and asked Duoduo if she would go, Duoduo shook her head, she wanted to stay at home, in case her mother suffered from her grandmother's loss, Tao Aijia left alone, and Duoduo returned to the thatched house to pay attention to the movement of the hall.
Mrs. Lin was so angry that her face turned blue, and she sat alone in the hall.
Lin Yongfang finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up the kitchen, and came to the hall to sit silently with Mrs. Lin, but she didn't ask Mrs. Lin if she was doing at home, she knew, if she asked so, Mrs. Lin would definitely cry and grab the ground, saying that the family was having a hard time, and her eldest daughter was unfilial and didn't know how to help her mother's family, so she simply didn't open this mouth.
Mrs. Lin was bored sitting down, so she had to speak by herself: "When did your family get married, why didn't you come to pick us up for a wedding drink?" ”
Lin Yongfang said lightly: "The family is poor, and there is no money to give Duoduo a dowry, so he married so quietly, how can he invite his mother to drink wine?" ”
"But that's not what I heard people say." Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Yongfang gloomily, "Many people say that your son-in-law gave you a dowry of one or two thousand yuan, how can you not have money to give Duoduo a dowry?" ”
