"A poor ghost whose family has suffered from the plague, your parents are short-lived ghosts, and you are debt collectors!"

"Second aunt, what you said is too ugly, my eldest brother said it when he left, and when he comes back, the money owed to you will definitely be repaid."

"Also, it's a fart, your eldest brother is squatting on the fence, and I can't pay back this money in the Year of the Monkey. Don't blame me for being the second aunt for being unsympathetic, I reluctantly want your broken house, and those few acres of land should be repaid. You're moving out today, I don't want people to say they have a relative on the fence! ”

"You are talking nonsense, my eldest brother is not in prison, he went out to work and make money, you bad woman!"

"I'm talking nonsense, you go out to inquire, everyone in Tunzi knows about it, and everyone's public security phone calls have gone to the brigade headquarters, and what the branch secretary said in person can be false? Hurry up and vacate the house, I will be bad luck when I see your family! ”

"No, you're talking nonsense!" The younger girl couldn't bear it anymore and immediately cried bitterly.

It was at this time that Lin Xi pushed the door in.

There were four people standing in the room, a woman in her forties near the door, and a girl of sixteen or seventeen and two half-grown children in their early teens.

The three children were all dressed in fat, patched clothes, and there was nothing in the room except a kang and a broken wooden cabinet.

When the woman saw Lin Xi, her triangular eyes first looked her up and down, and when she saw that she was dressed well, her eyes purred twice.

Lin Xi: "May I ask if this is Hu Ziqiang's house?" ”

The woman looked curious: "What are you looking for him, is he committing a crime outside?" I tell you that his business has nothing to do with me, this house and land have already been handed over to me, and you can find these three little cubs for money. ”

The three children watched her warily and did not say a word.

"You are Comrade Hu Ziqiang's younger brother and sister, right? I came here to express my gratitude. ”

All three of them had surprised looks on their faces at the same time.

The older Hu Zifeng asked tentatively: "Thank you?" ”

Lin Xi: "If it weren't for Comrade Hu Ziqiang's courage to fight human traffickers, my son would probably have been arrested by human traffickers. ”

In these years, if there is a person in prison in the family, the spittle of the people in the village can drown people.

In her previous life, because of her second brother's affairs, their family couldn't hold their heads up in the village, and she had tasted that taste, so she didn't want her children to experience it too.

Hearing that their eldest brother turned out to be a hero who acted bravely, the three children changed their previous cowering and cowardly appearance, and showed expressions of surprise and pride on their faces.

The woman sneered: "Hu Ziqiang? Just like a bear and saving people, don't you lie to people, right? ”

"Didn't you hear this sister? My eldest brother is a good man, and I don't allow you to speak ill of him! The younger girl clenched her fists angrily, as if she would rush at any moment.

"Comrade, do you think you have something to deceive me? You can't help but think too highly of yourself. ”

Lin Xi glanced at her disdainfully, ignoring her face that was about to be deformed, and directly took out ten big unity: "You can take this money, it is a little bit of my heart." ”

The woman's eyes straightened when she saw the old money.

"You have collected this money, I heard Comrade Hu Ziqiang say that he is going to work in the south, and it is estimated that he will not come back for a while, and it is probably not convenient to contact Lu Yuan. If you have any difficulties in life, or who is in trouble, you can write to me at this address and let me know. Captain Xiao of the county public security bureau and my lover are comrades-in-arms, and it is still easy to catch one or two shrews. ”

According to the previous promise, Lin Xida could give them more money, but they were still young, and they got a lot of money all of a sudden, not to mention whether they would be targeted by bad people, even the relatives with bad intentions around them would probably give them points.

A hundred yuan is just right, which is not too obtrusive, and can give them some security in their lives.

With Lin Xi's advice, the woman's attitude really changed a lot.

Lin Xi saw it in his eyes, and he felt a lot more relieved. Then he said a few more words to the three siblings before turning to leave.

She believed that according to the woman's character, she would soon know the purpose of her coming without her explanation.

After returning to the county seat, Lin Xi first went to a grocery store, bought two cans of malt milk essence and three catties of apples, and then went to Liu's house.

"You can come here and take so many things, you really think of yourself as an outsider."

Seeing the things she was carrying, Liu Qing pursed her lips and stepped forward to take the things.

"You should give it to you, I'm for our milk." Lin Xi said and bypassed her into the house, and saw Grandma Liu go up first and give her a big hug: "Grandma, I miss you all." ”

Grandma Liu couldn't close her mouth happily when she saw her: "Good boy, I haven't seen her for a few months, but I've become more beautiful." ”

Lin Xi's changes are almost visible to the naked eye, not that her appearance has changed, but her temperament from the inside out.

In just a few months, she is more cheerful and confident than before.

Liu Qing came over and deliberately showcased: "I think you want the braised pork ribs that my grandmother made for you, right?" I'm sorry I just ate all the ribs yesterday, and they taste great, but you can't eat them. ”

In the planned economy, ribs and bones are not available every day, especially large bones, and sometimes even have to have a certificate from the hospital saying that the bones are injured, so people can sell two to you.

"Look at what you said, I really am such a superficial person as you, my feelings for our milk are real, not like someone, only staring at the ribs."

Watching the two kids argue, as if nothing had changed when they were still in high school.

Grandma Liu said with a smile: "Don't leave today, I have always kept the bed you slept in before." ”

Lin Xi: "I thought about it, but I forgot to tell my family when I came out, when I came back, I was ready to change my clothes and wash my clothes, you can make me something to eat, and I will eat enough before leaving." ”

Liu Qing sighed: "You can really climb up the pole." ”

Lin Xi Tsundere: "One of my biggest strengths is sincerity. ”

The two fought for a while, seeing that it was already afternoon, and if they didn't go back, they might have to go at night, so Lin Xi got up and left.

Walking all the way back to the village, who knew that when he was about to arrive at the door, he met an unexpected person - Lin Xu.

I haven't seen her for half a year, and her whole person has changed quite a lot.

The person is much darker and thinner than before, his cheekbones are protruding and his cheeks are sunken, and his gaze is slightly slanted, giving people a sense of gloom and compassion.

"Fourth sister, long time no see."

She took the initiative to say hello, and did not question the accusation or scold, but her abnormal behavior surprised Lin Xi a little.

However, everything was Lin Xu's own fault, she had a clear conscience, and replied frankly: "It didn't take long, it's only been a few months." ”
