Chapter 227: Who Hardened His Heart
Aunt Lin was so weak that she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and instead mentioned her parents, "Finally, with the blessing of your parents' spirit in heaven, you can come back safely."
"Kang Nian is not filial, his father was seriously ill and could not serve in bedside, and after his father passed away, he was unable to send his old man to his death, and he worked hard for the eldest sister, second sister and second brother." Father Lin kowtowed to his father again before kneeling on the futon and continuing, "With the blessing of my parents, plus Jiaojiao, Dafu and Shen Ge going to sea to pick me up regardless of life and death, and repelling hundreds of pirates, we can protect me from the port safely."
Second Uncle Lin followed the eldest brother closely, "The eldest brother is right."
"I wanted Yuqing to follow Jiaojiao to Changzhou, but Jiaojiao begged her cousin to stay and help take care of the family. This kid suffered last year, but he grew up overnight, and he was so sensible that it hurts." After Aunt Lin praised her niece, she saw that the second brother was staring at her, so she reluctantly made up for it, "The second brother has also grown a lot."
Second Uncle Lin grinned at the second sister, and then turned his head to look at the eldest brother.
Father Lin also praised the second brother, "The second brother is really capable, and now he is taking care of the business of the boat shop and the silk village, and he is doing a good job."
After being praised by the eldest brother and the second sister, Second Uncle Lin smiled from ear to ear, looked up at his father's tablet and said, "Dad, have you heard, your son is also promising, you can rest assured."
After listening to the words of the second brother, the emotionally restrained father Lin was in tears, "In July last year, Wanyin and the children first encountered bandits and then floods in Qi County, and after the second brother got the news, he immediately took a boat to Qi County to find someone. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't know how much suffering they would have to endure......
Second Uncle Lin interrupted the eldest brother's words and said sincerely, "Eldest brother, our family doesn't talk to each other, this is what the younger brother should do."
Father Lin patted the second brother's shoulder with relief, and continued, "When the second brother was not in Xuanzhou, the family was thanks to the eldest sister and the second sister to take care of it."
Second Aunt Lin didn't receive this credit, "I didn't take care of anything, it was the eldest sister who took Yuzhen and Zhisheng to live at home, taking care of them inside and out."
"Thank you for your hard work, big sister." Father Lin thanked the eldest sister. didn't mention the eldest sister blocking the second brother and preventing him from looking for his wife and children.
She didn't live in her mother's house to "take care of", but Aunt Lin's face was not red and she responded breathlessly, "It's all as it should be, there is no need to say this between our sisters and brothers."
"Okay." Father Lin's words changed, "The eldest sister said in front of her parents and younger siblings, why did you spread rumors that Jiaojiao had been robbed of her innocence by the mountain bandits after returning home from all kinds of hardships?"
Aunt Lin's face changed immediately, and her eyes widened and she was about to deny it. Second Aunt Lin hurried before she could speak, "Eldest sister, my father and mother are waiting to hear it."
Second Uncle Lin looked at the eldest brother and second sister left, and then looked at the eldest sister who owed a lesson, and simply bowed his head and shrank into a ball.
There were four pillars of incense burning in front of the parents' tablet, and the fragrance was so strong that Aunt Lin couldn't breathe, she covered her chest and gasped uncomfortably, but when she saw that her eldest brother was staring at her as if she was looking at a prisoner, she couldn't help the grievances in her heart, "Lin Kangnian! I'm your sister! It's okay for outsiders to bully me, but do you want to bully me too! Seeing that I'm not having a good time, one, two, three of you are all looking at the excitement on the sidelines, isn't it?!
Father Lin said calmly, "Eldest sister, we are both in our thirties."
Second Uncle Lin raised his head and cautiously reminded, "Brother, eldest sister is forty years old this year."
Second Aunt Lin......
Father Lin......
Aunt Lin was stunned for a moment, and cried even more, "Yes, I'm forty! Look at what my days are, what your days you have! You all look at me as a joke, I'm your own sister. Who of you has taken care of me over the years? What kind of life I live in the Zhang family, you all know in your hearts......
The more Aunt Lin cried, the more aggrieved she became, and the more aggrieved she became, the louder her voice became, but no one in the house paid attention to her.
When she had cried enough, Father Lin's tanned face still had no expression, "I'll ask the eldest sister one last time: Why did you send someone to spread rumors?"
"Whoa—"
Aunt Lin hiccuped, her eyes couldn't help rolling. The eldest brother has always been affectionate, and he can't see his family suffering, so he thought that if she pulled down her face and cried, the eldest brother would be soft-hearted. But she didn't expect that when her eldest brother returned from a trip to the sea, his heart hardened
。
No, he is not hard-hearted, but after marrying a wife and having children, he doesn't treat her as a relative.
Aunt Lin was sad and burst into tears, "What else can I do for it? What's wrong with my family, why can't I be worthy of Jiaojiao?"
Seeing that the eldest brother's face turned cold, Second Aunt Lin kindly reminded Aunt Lin, "Eldest sister, why is the eldest brother spreading rumors for you, you can talk about it after you think about it."
"I just want to promote Jiaojiao and Zhisheng's relationship, what's wrong with Jiaojiao marrying into the Zhang family? Zhisheng is a good child, and I am her aunt...... Besides, didn't it work out...... Few people believe it,......" Aunt Lin said, the quieter her voice became.
The house was quiet, except for the chirping of birds hanging on the verandah.
Aunt Lin had never seen her eldest brother like this, she was really scared, she didn't care about the presence of the second sister and the second brother, and went down to beg for mercy in a low voice, "Kang Nian, the eldest sister is wrong, isn't it okay for the eldest sister to compensate you?"
Isn't it a loss? When she went to sea and didn't return, and Ayin was injured and lying in bed, the eldest sister didn't think about family affection and calculated his daughter, could it be offset by a mistake? new
The incense in the incense burner burned out, Father Lin got up and put another stick of incense on his parents, turned to stare at the eldest sister and said, "The name is a woman's life, and the eldest sister took advantage of my absence to want Jiaojiao's life, which is to break the love between our brothers and sisters with her own hands. In the future, except for the death of her parents, the eldest sister will not come back."
After Father Lin finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Aunt Lin's heart thumped, stupid.
When Second Uncle Lin saw that his eldest brother was gone, he hurriedly got up and followed, and only a pair of old sisters of the Lin family were left in the house.
Aunt Lin, whose eyes were covered with tears, choked up and said, "Second sister, do you hear what the eldest brother is talking about? For the sake of such a thing, he didn't even let me in."
Second Aunt Lin also got up and put a stick of incense on her parents, and said leisurely, "The eldest brother still has a good temper, if the eldest sister arranges my Ting'er, I will take my children to smash the eldest sister's head and smash the Zhang family's pot."
This is what Aunt Lin believes. Because her younger sister is silent on weekdays, but she doesn't care about her temper and gives her a bastard, she even dares to stab the roof, so Aunt Lin never dares to provoke her. She dared to arrange Jiaojiao, in the final analysis, because her eldest brother had a good temper. But this time, she also her eldest brother......
The more Aunt Lin thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she came back to her senses, only to find that the room was empty, and she was the only one left, she stared at her mother's ranking and cried for a long time before she got up and went inside.
Aunt Lin returned to the flower hall with red eyes, and after returning home with her two daughters, she was locked in the room, and it was useless for lunch and dinner.
On the second day, the Zhang family invited Lang Zhong, and the news soon spread on the street that Aunt Lin fell ill after returning to her parents' house.
So, the people who had calculated the Lin family in the previous two years couldn't wait to take a detour when they saw Father Lin.
