Chapter Twenty-Eight: Total Break
Lin Shuisheng looked at his son, who was already taller than him in front of him, and suddenly realized that the little doll that was only on his waist had unknowingly become a man who could take charge of himself.
The quiet and honest son in his memory and the son who is now standing beside his mother and confronting him with anger on his face, the two figures quietly coincide.
The filial piety that he has insisted on for many years collided with his own flesh and blood, which made his already somewhat wooden brain not know how to react, so he had to stand in silence.
Old Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Shuisheng who didn't say a word, she was so angry, she originally thought that Lin Qiu would be soft-hearted for the sake of Lin Shuisheng being his father, but she didn't expect Lin Shuisheng to be so useless.
Looking at Lin Hu, who only dared to stand behind her and shout and cheer, and the taciturn third child next to her, Mrs. Lin had an estimate in her heart, and made up her mind not to pin her hopes on these two people who were unreliable at all, but only on herself.
Mrs. Lin walked two steps forward slowly on crutches, although she was old, but her pungent energy was also famous in the village for many years, and these two steps were full of neutrality.
"Lin Qiu, mother, are you sure you won't let Lin Qiu take out this money?" Old Madam Lin asked.
"Don't pull everything on my mother, don't mention whether there is any money or not, even if there is, it is impossible to give it to you, you die of this heart!"
Lin Qiu looked at Mrs. Lin and asked her mother directly, knowing that this old lady only dared to pick soft persimmons and pinch, so she was so angry that she stepped forward and said.
"Okay, okay, then don't blame me."
Suddenly, Mrs. Lin cleared her throat, sat directly on the ground, carefully placed the cane beside her, and shouted directly when she raised her throat:
"It's unreasonable, I grew up this little rabbit cub since I was a child, but now there is an accident at home and I need money, he doesn't pay a penny, and he is still scolding me here, an old woman."
"Who have I been doing all these years? I raised a bunch of sons, none of whom were towards me, and I raised a grandson, and in the end they were not filial to me. ”
"The third child married a foreign daughter-in-law, and in the end, his heart was biased to the outside, and he was not filial to me."
When Lin Hu and Lin Shuisheng saw Old Lady Lin sitting on the ground, they hurriedly came to pull her, but she didn't let them pull her up.
Old Lady Lin's angry voice instantly spread throughout the village. Nearby neighbors hurriedly came out to see what was going on.
As soon as they came over, they saw Mrs. Lin who was sitting on the ground and rolling around, Lin Hu and Lin Shuisheng who were standing beside her and pulling her, and then they saw Lin Qiu's mother standing opposite them and a bunch of children behind her.
One of the good-faced men walked up to Lin Shuisheng's side, pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice what was going on, Lin Shuisheng was not easy to explain the complicated situation now, he had always been stupid, so he could only bow his head and deal with it silently.
The man saw Lin Shuisheng's appearance, he had lived in the village together for so many years, and he also knew what kind of virtue he was, and he just wanted to turn his head to ask the others, when he heard Lin Hu shouting there:
"Let's take a look, look at Lin Qiu, an unfilial mongrel," Lin Hu proudly shouted to the crowd who had just gathered: "Lin Qiu won the lottery and won more than 3,000, and now there is an accident at home that needs this money, but he doesn't pay a penny, and he stretches out his hand to beat my grandma." ”
Lin Qiu looked at Lin Hu and opened his mouth is a cauldron, he never dared to overestimate the virtue of this family, but he didn't want them to be so inferior.
And the crowd over there listened to what Lin Hu said, and they all turned their heads and whispered to the people next to them, pointing and pointing to this side as they spoke, just by looking at it, they knew that what they were saying was not a good thing.
At this time, another man walked up to Lin Qiu and said to his mother: "Oh, the third daughter-in-law, you see that this matter is troublesome, you said that you just gave them this money, and it won't be so ugly." ”
Lin Qiu saw the man who walked in front of them, he was well-known in the village for being kind and muddy, and he scoffed at what he said.
He ignored the man, just took a step forward and said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, it's really not that I don't take this money, but that my grandmother and my cousin don't know where they listened, and they want to sow discord through trumped-up charges. ”
He paused and continued: "And everyone also knows that two days ago, our family and his family split up and broke off the relationship, and these are two families, so according to the law, my family's property has nothing to do with his family. ”
He turned his head to Mrs. Lin and smiled: "And grandma, you probably don't know, if you rob someone else's money, you will go to prison." ”
Lin Qiu thought to himself that in this era, everyone still respected and feared the law, and they were not highly educated, so they didn't know that Sanqian had not yet reached the point of going to prison.
The people in the village are not highly educated, and they all know that the son of the third child of the Lin family has always studied well, and they subconsciously trust what he says.
Mrs. Lin was the same, when she heard this, she finally began to panic in her heart.
Mrs. Lin, who was originally rolling on the ground, had the words "prison" in her head, and her hands trembled vigorously, remembering the appearance of the police coming to interrogate her that day, she was even more afraid.
When the surrounding crowd heard such a serious consequence, they also hurriedly stood up and persuaded Mrs. Lin: "Old lady, if you are short of money, let's get it from other places, let's find a way together, and the problem will always be solved." ”
"And taking money directly from others without regard to the wishes of others is also a kind of robbery." Lin Qiu stood beside him and said faintly.
"Oh, look at you kid, grandma also knows that your family is in difficulty, and I didn't say to snatch it from you."
Old Mrs. Li finally reacted that she couldn't ask for a little bit in Lin Qiu's hands today, so she patted her ass and stood up, and said to Lin Qiu in a trembling manner.
"If your family has any difficulties in the future, remember to come to grandma."
In the end, Mrs. Lin also tried to save a little face for her, although everyone around her knew what kind of virtue she was.
At this time, Chen Qingxiu, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly said: "No need, we will not go to your house again in the future, as long as you don't come to trouble us, just break it off like this." ”
She watched the farce coldly for a long time on the side, looking at the faces of her relatives who had been under the same roof bullying her and Lin Qiu many times, Chen Qingxiu's heart slowly cooled down, and the last trace of the lamp lit for the Lin family was extinguished, and the expectations for this family in her heart were completely gone.
It wasn't until the matter was almost over that she finally had a chance to interject.
When Lin Qiu heard what her mother said, she knew that she was completely dead to the family, so she said even more unceremoniously: "You guys go quickly, you are not welcome in my family."
His mother may still take care of some face, but wouldn't he, after being oppressed so much by this family, it would be good to be able to talk to them well, and he still wanted to give them a good face? What wishful thinking!
"Little bunny, you wait for me." Old Lady Lin muttered through gritted teeth in a low voice, and then walked away with Lin Hu and Lin Shuisheng.
Lin Shuisheng watched for a few seconds as he walked here, didn't say a word, turned around and went back with his mother.
Seeing that they were finally gone, Lin Qiu was also relieved in his heart.
"Everyone is gone, there's nothing to see, let's all go back." Turning around and talking to the group of people who came to see the excitement, let them disperse quickly.
