Chapter 11 You Trash
The second elder of the Lin family is still there, so the whole family still lives together. Three thatched huts are built together. One side of the yard is the kitchen and the other is the woodshed.
Lin Huiru's father is the youngest, who knows nothing but farming. He is dark and dark, and he carries a hoe all day long. This is all the memories about the father with this body in the memory. Is this father going to hell every day?
Before entering the door, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron walked out of the yard, her skin was sallow, and the shoes on her feet could be seen with obvious stitching marks. How poor is this family? No wonder my daughter didn't even have any jewelry when she got married.
No, no, the poor should say that only the second room is right. Didn't those children at the entrance of the village just now be bought by Lin Yaoyao's Sankuaitang?
The big house can live a comfortable life!
"Huiru! You... are you doing well?" Qi Hehua touched her daughter's thin shoulder and asked tremblingly.
It was she who mustered up the courage to decide to marry her daughter away. Only by sending her daughter out could she live comfortably and not be disturbed by these bad things at home.
Qi Hehua married Lin Ping for half her life before she gave birth to such a daughter. Her mother-in-law scolded her for not being able to lay eggs, but she admitted it, but her daughter was innocent.
At that time, it was a Juren who saw the girl, and she did not hesitate to hand in her daughter's birth date, hoping that her daughter would be favored by the Juren, and that she would be a Juren's wife and enjoy the blessings for the rest of her life.
Seeing her daughter returning to the door briskly today, Qi Hehua's heart has finally come to fruition, and she is finally happy.
"Mother, where's dad?" Lin Huiru graciously led Xu Ziqiao into the yard.
"Your father... went to weeding, but we haven't finished weeding our land yet." Mrs. Qi replied stumbled, knowing that her daughter didn't like her father always working in the fields.
Lin Huiru swept his eyes and caught a glimpse of the uncle who was drinking tea in the room with the door open, and he was furious.
Why is her father born to work hard? Uncle does not do anything at home, but he can still support his family.
"Is uncle injured?" Lin Huiru squinted her eyes, and said to Lin Dashan who was sitting on a stool in the yard.
Lin Dashan's eyes twitched, he didn't know what the niece meant, his hands and feet were very healthy, how could he be injured?
"Not injured? Then why did my father go to the field alone? Does my uncle have gold on his feet or silver in his hands? Can he support a family at home?" Lin Huiru stood up, exuding the momentum all at once.
Xu Ziqiao touched his nose silently, thinking that his wife was about to act chivalrously again.
However, this is really too much, brothers of the same generation, one goes to work in the field and the other drinks tea at home.
Lin Dashan's face twitched, he stood up and rushed out of the room, pointing at Lin Huiru.
"You little..."
"Shut up, you, at least I can rely on myself to eat. People who eat soft food like uncle have no right to speak with me." Lin Huiru carried out her poisonous tongue to the end.
Anyway, she is considered a married woman now, and they can't do anything to her.
Lin Dashan was almost jumping in anger, this niece was going too far.
The first three people outside the house came in one after another, namely Lin Dashan's daughter Lin Yaoyao, Lin Huiru's grandparents, Lao Lintou, and Wang Shi.
As soon as she entered the yard and saw the eldest son who was furious, Wang immediately scolded him.
"That murderer offended my son? Come out, old lady..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Huiru took a step forward and pointed at himself.
"It's me, grandma."
Wang was annoyed, why does this granddaughter still have a fierce look in her eyes?
"Why does my father go to work in the field early in the morning, and my uncle is still drinking tea at home, with his hands and feet constantly, and staying at home as a soft meal, I can't stand it." Lin Huiru said After finishing speaking, the yard was silent for three seconds, and then accompanied by a roar, Lao Lintou came towards Lin Huiru holding a broom.
Where is Lin Huiru easy to provoke, she didn't hide, she just stood there.
"Let's fight. My husband is Juren, and I am Juren's wife. I am not afraid of getting into the Yamen, so you can fight here!" Lin Huiru pointed to her head.
Lao Lin glanced at Xu Ziqiao who was standing next to him, and then at Lin Huiru. It was not right to hit it with the broom he held up, and he couldn't swallow the breath when he put it down.
"Hurry up and take care of your woman!" After several considerations, he had no choice but to put down the broom and said to Xu Ziqiao.
"Today is the homecoming ceremony, and my father-in-law is not here. Ah Ru is seeking justice for his father-in-law. There is still labor in the family, and there is no reason for my father-in-law to work in the fields alone. I support Ah Ru." Xu Ziqiao didn't talk about anything, just expressed it simply own opinion.
Lin Huiru gave you a knowing look, and Xu Ziqiao smiled back.
"You! Slut! You know how to seduce men, vixen!" Lin Yaoyao, who was standing aside, had already noticed the tall man with a scholarly air. How could it be Lin Huiru's turn to be with that bitch? What? She is obviously stronger than Lin Huiru.
"Who is the little bitch scolding?"
"The little bitch is scolding you!" Lin Yaoyao shouted.
"Pfft... I know you're a little bitch, so you don't have to admit it yourself!" Lin Huiru covered her mouth and laughed, watching Lin Yaoyao lose face to her grandmother's house.
This girl has been staring at Xu Ziqiao, do you think she is blind? Although it will reconcile with Xu Ziqiao sooner or later, before reconciling, there must be no grasshoppers jumping around Xu Ziqiao.
Lin Yaoyao's face turned pale immediately, seeing the smile on the corner of Xu Ziqiao's mouth, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"You bitch, you start making trouble as soon as you come back. Believe it or not, I'll beat you!" Shouted Wang.
"Come here? Let's see if you dare to slap me. Are you going to make trouble as soon as I come back? Look at my parents and uncle's family. This gap, even if it wasn't your own, would my father still Is your nurturing grace enough?" Lin Huiru said.
Lin Qing was not Wang's own child, and this matter was no secret in Linjiacun. Lin Qing was thrown in the mountains, and was picked up by Lao Lintou when he went up to hunt pheasants.
The ones picked up are of course not as good as my own. All these years, I have been using the kindness of nurturing to suppress the second wife, forcing the second wife to work to make money, and to support a large family.
"How about we count how much the second house has earned and how much it has given you over the years, and then look at how much you have spent to support my father, and see carefully whether my father still owes you."
" If it doesn't work, I'll go to the yamen. Anyway, the official and my husband know a few, and this matter will be found out soon! At that time, I'll see if you still have the face to live!" Old man Lin trembled when he heard this, "The kindness of
nurturing If you can't figure it out, don't try to separate the relationship with us. When was your father sick and dying when he was a child, was it not the doctor I asked for?"
Chapter 12 The Shameless Family
"Really? The grace of nurturing, then my father treats uncle as another kind of nurturing grace! Uncle, you have been dependent on my father for decades, and your children also depend on my father. Why don't you repay my father?" Your kindness?" Lin Huiru turned his gun and pointed it at Lin Dashan.
Lin Dashan's face was flushed, he didn't expect this niece to become so violent after she got married, and she wouldn't let her go if she caught her, insisting on giving him an explanation.
It was father who sent Lin Qing to the field early in the morning, not him. He has been in poor health since he was a child, so why can't he stay at home? Anyway, if he went to the ground, it would be a burden for Lin Qing, so he might as well just drink tea at home.
"I'm not in good health, what if I fall on the ground?" Lin Dashan said with a stiff neck.
"Hmph, does the leg that was broken ten years ago still hurt now? Why should my father wipe your ass for the broken leg that you are playing with? Believe it or not, if you dare to eat my father's and use my father's, I will still find it." Someone broke your leg? It's useless anyway, what do you want this leg for? Stay at home all day!" The more
she talked, the more angry she became, and Lin Huiru turned to everyone in the yard and said, "Don't think that I don't care if I get married. My father and mother are dead, if you let me know about the disgusting things you did in the future, I will keep it so that you can't eat it!"
Old man Lin dared not speak, and went into the house with a pipe, Lin Dashan blushed With an old face, he quickly walked into the room with his hands behind his back.
Lin Yaoyao stamped her feet angrily but couldn't find a reason to deal with Lin Huiru.
"Mother, from now on, the family's land will be divided into two shares. Dad will only farm his own share. What to do with the rest. You keep the food you get. They want to eat and get money for it! Brothers will settle accounts, let alone not Brother!"
"I've never seen a son who has been picked up as a slave. After so many years of raising it, even an old cow has feelings? You heartless rotten people!" Lin Huiru was angry
. Unbearable, he rushed out holding the kitchen knife in the kitchen, muttering curse words.
"Hack your bastard to death! I want you to take care of me to live a good life! You are a scumbag with parents and no mother!" Wang scolded vigorously, and was killed by her before she even reached Lin Huiru's side. A slap hit the ground.
Before Wang could realize what was going on, Lin Huiru simply slapped Wang's face with one slap after another.
"Being old and disrespectful! You are not my own mother. I don't need to discuss seniority with you. In my eyes, you are an unreasonable, ugly, and fat old woman who loves to be a monster. You have bullied my mother for most of your life. Are you still trying to provoke me? I am here today to support my parents, otherwise I will drag you to see the official today, and let you see what justice is!" "No, no, no...
I don't see the official." She was so frightened that she took the kitchen knife to suppress this scumbag, how could she know that the scumbag was not only not afraid but also beat her like this.
It was a mistake to pick up that Lin Qing at the beginning, and gave birth to a granddaughter who wanted to kill her. This is to take her life!
Mrs. Wang suddenly yelled to tell Lin Qing's family to get out, saying that Lin Qing was not her own son and it made no sense to live in this house.
"Who should get out, you don't know? The mud in this house was built by my father, and the straw was cut by my father in the mountains. It's none of your business!"
Lin Huiru's eyes were cold, and Wang was trembling all over. .
"The next time I come back and see my father being wronged, you two elders and your uncle's family are ready to be sent to the Yamen Prison by me! I will cleanse you well!" Lin Huiru said arrogantly,
look Standing there and letting her lose her temper, Xu Ziqiao, who still had connivance in his eyes, finally felt much better.
Terrified, Mrs. Wang retreated into the room and closed the door tightly.
Only then did Qi Hehua dare to come forward and hold her daughter's arm. Not only the old couple but also herself were frightened by Lin Huiru. Qi Hehua didn't know what happened to her daughter at her in-law's house, and she became so tough. Qi Hehua still had lingering fears.
"Mom, the next time they bully you, you can come to me. We can't let them continue to oppress our second wife. I don't have anything when I get married. She, Lin Yaoyao, still has money to buy sugar to buy the village children to make up nursery rhymes to scold me. Why can't I use the money my father earned through hard work, and give it back to that bitch?"
Qi Hehua was dumbfounded when she heard that, how many hairpins did her daughter give when she got married? There is also a new dress, how come there is nothing at all?
"Ah? But, mother gave you three silver hairpins, and made you a new dress with her own hands? Your aunt said she would buy some for you. Where's the red wooden box? Didn't she give it to you when you got married?"
Qi Lotus suddenly became anxious. Those three silver hairpins were given to her by her mother when she got married. She had worn them for more than ten years. When her daughter got married, the family had no money. The money at the bottom of the box melted down the old hairpins and made them into new hairpins.
But... why is it gone when I get to my daughter?
Lin Huiru was surprised, no wonder? How can there be nothing in marriage, isn't this a rush to lose face?
Hearing this, Xu Ziqiao's expression immediately turned cold. This is too cruel. Fortunately, he is not the one who cares about this, and the sister-in-law doesn't care about Xiaoru's dowry. Otherwise, if she is found out, wouldn't she be laughed at? lifetime?
"Auntie said she wanted to add makeup to me? I'm afraid she's taken a fancy to that little thing in my box?" Lin Huiru's eyes were almost man-eating.
The aunt's surname is Zhou, and her name is Zhou Pandi. The Lin family village where the family went to when she was killed before, looks weak and weak, and dare to move her dowry behind her back? Lin Huiru couldn't help but feel sorry for the original owner, and she didn't even know why she only got so little when she got married.
"Zhou Pandi! Thanks to me trusting her so much, she treats you like this! When she comes back from her mother's house, I'll ask her to argue." Qi Hehua had a rare hard time.
"Mother, what's the theory? Just tell the village chief and grandpa, and say that there was a thief at home, and someone stole my dowry. Since she almost ruined my marriage, I won't let Lin Yaoyao have a chance to talk about it." Lin Huiru said With coldness, Qi Hehua trembled all over.
"Isn't that good? We can solve it at home..." Qi Hehua was still timid.
"Not good? Mother, I was almost sprayed to death because of the lack of dowry. Is this a trivial matter? Do you dare to resist after seeing your daughter have something serious?" Lin Huiru was in a hurry. Why is this mother so cowardly?
Qi Hehua froze, unable to speak for a while.
My daughter was almost stabbed in the back, she can't do anything as a mother, it's really useless!
"Mother listens to you, I will go to the village head uncle in the afternoon."
Qi Hehua wiped away tears and followed her daughter into the house. Next door to the second house is the firewood house, and behind the firewood house is the latrine. Although the distance is not very close, there is still an unpleasant smell of latrines.
Chapter 13 Please Divide Up
Maybe I have heard a lot, but Qi Hehua has no reaction. Lin Huiru's nose was the most sensitive. As soon as she entered the room, she smelled the vague smell of manure, and the anger in her heart was aroused again.
The three of them talked a lot in the room. Lin Huiru prepared lunch and brought it into the room without letting the others smell it.
When Lin Qing came back with a hoe, he saw the resentful eyes of his parents, and his elder brother circling around the house with a livid face and hands behind his back.
"Take care of your daughter, no matter how old or young she is!" Lin Dashan was indignant, but he didn't dare to say harsh words for fear that the girl would come out and scold him again.
Lin Qing pushed open the door of his room in confusion, and found that the three of them were eating happily together, so he hurried over and sat down.
Lin Huiru's eyes were sore almost as soon as he saw Lin Qing. This father can be regarded as a different kind, it's fine if he doesn't favor boys over girls, and he holds her in his palm like a pearl since he was a child, and loves and cares about this daughter more than Qi Hehua.
When Lin Huiru was young, Lin Qing basically made whatever he wanted. Even for the kite that Lin Huiru wanted, he did not hesitate to ask a teacher as his teacher to learn the kite and make it for Lin Huiru to play with.
Isn't he working so hard to make money at home to make his wife and daughter live better? His daughter is married, if he doesn't work hard to save more money, what will happen if his daughter is not valued by her husband's family? Lin Qing didn't sleep well at night for the past few days, especially the morning after his daughter got married, he felt as if he had fallen into a glacier, and he was in a bad mood.
As soon as he entered the room, he told Lin Huiru about it. The father and daughter were connected. Lin Huiru almost connected the incident with the accidental drowning of the body. For some reason, when he mentioned this, it was huge Lin Huiru's tears burst into tears.
"Father, I accidentally fell into the river that day. The river hadn't broken the ice yet, but it was cold. My daughter almost didn't climb up, so she might have died in it." Lin Huiru said tearfully.
Lin Qing's eyes were red, no wonder he was so uncomfortable that day, it turned out that his daughter really fell into the river at the same time, but fortunately she was picked up, and there was no big problem, otherwise he would have to regret to death.
"How are you doing?" Lin Qing asked.
Xu Ziqiao picked up the wine and clinked glasses with his father-in-law.
"Xiao Ru is very good, and she is also good to me. I plan to take her to the town in a few days. I happened to rent a yard. Although it is not big, it is at least a shelter from the wind and rain. When the father-in-law comes, There is also a place to go."
Lin Huiru was shocked, he called it "cut first and then play!" Have you agreed with yourself? To arrange for her privately? But... It would be better to go to the town, at least it would be more convenient for her to set up a stall. I'd better wait until I go back and test whether the skewers are good, and then discuss with Xu Ziqiao how to set up a stall and where to set up a stall.
Lin Qing nodded in agreement. Xu Ziqiao is a juren, and his daughter can only marry a juren with the blessings he has cultivated. He heard that a calligraphy and painting of a juren can be sold for a lot of silver.
"Father, can't you separate from them? They treat you like a cow, and my heart aches." Lin Huiru said coquettishly.
Lin Qing sighed, fearing that his father and mother would starve to death after the separation. The eldest brother is a bad guy, he doesn't want to help even an acre of land in the family, he doesn't even go to the vegetable field, saying that his legs hurt.
But his leg has healed a long time ago, and he is still lingering at home, let alone other people.
"Your grandma won't agree." Lin Qing sighed.
Lin Huiru sighed to Lin Qing, and knew that he probably wanted to separate the family too. It's fine if you want to separate the family, but she is most afraid that Lin Qing will not want to separate, and it will be difficult.
That being the case, wouldn't it be enough to add fire?
Lin Huiru grabbed her father's hand and started her performance. As soon as the tears said to flow, they flowed down, which surprised Xu Ziqiao.
This lady of his has a lot of tricks, and if one trick fails, she will try another trick, so he has no choice but to ignore it.
"Father, I just found out that my aunt took away all the dowry when I got married. I didn't even have a decent piece of jewelry. I only brought the ragged jacket I used to wear at home. Look at the clothes in my closet. I thought the two of you didn't want me because of the tattered clothes, otherwise why would you let me get married like this? Fortunately, my in-laws didn't look at my dowry, and Ziqiao is not a person who cares about dowry, otherwise... If this was in an ordinary family, I would I won't be able to hold my head up in this life."
"Auntie is about to tell Lin Yaoyao about her marriage. She also has a daughter. Why did she treat me like this? Doesn't she know how important this matter is to a woman's family? Father, I beg you , you should separate from them, I am so tired of seeing them, I don't even want to come back." Most of Lin Huiru's words are the truth, if this is put on other women, don't forget to hate your own parents ?
Most women in ancient times were reserved and euphemistic. They would not cry when they found out that their dowry was wrong, but would only alienate their parents.
After all, it's not like anyone's auntie has such skills and a city mansion, and can alienate the second family and the whole family without any effort.
Lin Qing jumped into a rage almost as soon as he heard it, he slapped his chopsticks and stood up, staring viciously outside.
Qi Hehua was so frightened that she hurriedly put down her chopsticks, with tears in her eyes not daring to shed.
"I just thought she was kind enough to add a dowry to our Xiaoru. Who knows which wooden box she took and wouldn't give it to Xiaoru. My remade silver hairpin and a new piece of clothes are in it. The head of the family, I...I'm sorry for you two, I'm useless." Qi Hehua sometimes blamed herself for being too weak, which was why Da Fang bullied them.
But she just couldn't give birth to a son, or even gave birth to a second child, which was also her fault!
Veins popped up on Lin Qing's face, and his aura changed. Lin Huiru noticed that there was a flash of blue light in his eyes, like a wolf patrolling his territory at midnight.
Is her father really a child who was randomly thrown into the mountains? Why do you feel that your life experience is not simple?
Isn't Lin Qing swallowing his anger and seeking safety for so many years for his daughter? Mrs. Qi is timid and dare not speak out to the eldest family and her parents-in-law. She originally thought that this would bring peace to the family, but this time he found out, thinking that he would bear it and take all the losses on himself. I didn't get anything.
Taking a step back, what if the daughter marries someone who cares about the dowry? Then it is really impossible to hold your head up for the rest of your life, and you have to resent your parents.
Fortunately, my daughter was willing to believe him, so she said everything, so that he could know that the first couple seemed very friendly, but they were actually driving the second room to a dead end.
Chapter 14
Lin Qing didn't intend to bear it any longer. He had already planned in his heart that he would split the family at the end of the year, but now that his daughter raised it first, he could only split.
"Father, I will seek justice for you. I will go to the village head uncle this afternoon and ask him to help make the decision." Lin Qing thinks the same as Lin Huiru. The relationship between blood relatives is here. Some things are too difficult to explain clearly. We can only let the fair village Only by intervening for a long time can this matter be done quickly.
"After the separation, where will you and your mother live?" Lin Huiru asked.
"There is still a house at the foot of the mountain. I plan to spend money to rent it for a few months. I will go out to work and build a house after I come back." Lin Qing said.
He can only get less than 30% of the money for farming every year, and the life of Erfang is very tight. He has to give gifts to his parents during the New Year and holidays, and life is even more difficult. Mrs. Qi managed to save some dowry for his daughter, but was cheated by his aunt. He must find a way to let Mrs. Zhou spit out the money as he swallowed it.
After dinner, Lin Huiru followed Xu Ziqiao and left first. According to Lin Qing's words, it is best not to be there for a married woman whose family is divided, otherwise the big house will bite back and her reputation will be affected.
Lin Huiru took Xu Ziqiao around the foot of the mountain, found a lot of wild mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms and fungus in the shade, broke off a few bamboos, and took them with him. When passing by the vegetable field, the child cut a handful of leeks.
Although they are all meat dishes, the taste should not be bad.
Xu Ziqiao followed behind Lin Huiru suspiciously, helping her with things like mushrooms, while watching his wife's work curiously.
"What is this for?" Seeing Lin Huiru pouring hot sauce into a stone pot, sautéing it until fragrant and then adding water to boil, Xu Ziqiao couldn't help being completely curious.
"Chuan Chuan Xiang!" Lin Huiru sucked her saliva, added a small piece of hot pot bottom material to the stone pot, and stirred it with chopsticks.
When this essence is put into the pot, the water in the pot is as if it has life, and when it is bubbling, it still exudes a smell that seduces the mouth.
Zhuang Zhuang squeezed open the door secretly, poked a head in, he couldn't help the smell.
"I want to eat too! Cook it quickly!" Zhuang Zhuang yelled at Lin Huiru.
Liu Xiulan was standing behind Zhuang Zhuang, not to mention Zhuang Zhuang, even she couldn't resist the temptation of this taste.
"What's the matter if I don't feed you? I haven't eaten yet? Didn't your mother cook for you? I just saw my sister-in-law washing the dishes?" Lin Huiru looked at Liu Xiulan behind Zhuang Zhuang.
Sure enough, when Zhuang Zhuang wanted to say something more, Liu Xiulan hugged him and dragged him away.
At the same time, he still plausibly said that if it is so fragrant, there must be dirty things in it, and the children will have a stomachache after eating it.
It was quiet outside the door, and Lin Huiru took out the ingredients she had hidden from her arms, and took the bamboo stick that Xu Ziqiao had been peeling silently.
"Just like me, string these cut ingredients alternately on bamboo sticks and put them in the pot." Lin Huiru said, and he gave Xu Ziqiao a demonstration.
One shiitake mushroom and one garlic filled the bamboo sticks after two rounds of reincarnation, and Lin Huiru threw them into the boiling stone pot.
Xu Ziqiao followed suit, and quickly put all the ingredients in his hands into the pot.
Lin Huiru put the lid on the pot, counted for tens of seconds, and then lifted the lid.
The steam of hot soup with the aroma of the ingredients rushed towards his face. Lin Huiru couldn't help swallowing, grabbed a bamboo stick and lifted it up.
The shiitake mushrooms are just ripe, with a hot and spicy base flavor on them, and the delicious fragrance rushes towards the taste buds as soon as you enter the mouth. Lin Huiru was about to cry, she actually ate skewers in ancient times, it was like a fairy life!
Xu Ziqiao followed the lady a few seconds later, and picked up a bamboo stick from the pot with one hand. It was a skewer of leeks and fungus. When he thought of the hot sauce that he ate during the day, he still had lingering fears.
He didn't dare to put it in his mouth for a long time, what if he couldn't sleep at night because of the spicy taste?
Lin Huiru seemed to see through Xu Ziqiao's worry, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "There are not many peppers here, and they are not particularly spicy."
Only then did he dare to enter the mouth, but after a few tastes, he completely fell into the heaven of skewers, and he couldn't stop the skewers at all, and he didn't even know that the corners of his mouth were turning red.
The taste was indescribable, but it was more delicious than those street stalls he had eaten before.
If he guessed right, isn't the lady making so much trouble just to go to the town to make money? Now that his studies are getting more and more heavy, he has less and less time to copy books, and the money he earns is basically only enough to study by himself. After the father-in-law and mother-in-law separated, life must be difficult, and the wife must try her best to help the gang, so the money-making business of making fun is to solve the current money shortage problem.
Xu Ziqiao couldn't help but look at Lin Huiru, who was busy and sweating profusely. Seeing her squinting her eyes and enjoying the process, she involuntarily raised the corners of her mouth.
When Lin Huiru saw this smile, it was like being struck by lightning. This man changed every day, wouldn't he fall in love with her?
"I'm going to set up a stall in the town. If you think I'm ashamed, just say you don't know me." Lin Huiru spread her hands, and the atmosphere was completely destroyed by her.
Xu Ziqiao's face froze, not knowing where to start.
dislike? Then he still copied the book in the middle of the night, and only by recommending himself can he sell the book! Is that embarrassing too?
Born as a human being, isn't it just running around and working hard for a living? How could he despise her ashamed?
"I won't despise you, I will help you." Xu Ziqiao felt that the lady didn't trust him, and felt a little wronged in her heart, and there was a trace of wronged in her words.
Lin Huiru nodded, feeling that she was a bit of a villain, so she could only eat the skewers with her head down and said nothing.
The couple here discussed such trivial issues as how to prepare the things for setting up a stall and how to go to the town to set up a stall.
Liu Xiulan complained to her husband again that the money at home was tight. This time, Zhuang Zhuang Shuxiu was about to pay, but now she didn't have ten taels of silver in her hand, and it seemed that Zhuang Zhuang would be delayed from going to school.
Her Zhuang Zhuang is so smart, she will definitely have a better future than that bastard in the future.
Xu Qinghe thought for a long time, and decided to talk to Xu Ziqiao about money tomorrow morning.
Early in the morning, Lin Huiru dragged Xu Ziqiao up early, in the name of getting up early to exercise in preparation for the exam, but actually took him to the foot of the mountain to pick enough mushrooms.
Xu Ziqiao was dragged to work as a coolie early in the morning, but she didn't even complain. Lin Huiru felt a little guilty when she saw her hard work.
Lin Huiru only had dozens of copper coins on her body, and wanted to buy some meat dishes to make up for it on the first day, so she had to accept half a tael of silver from Xu Ziqiao.
"Okay, I will definitely pay you back when I earn the money. Don't worry, I won't let you delay the test." Lin Huiru took the silver from Xu Ziqiao, and divided the silver with his own copper coins, so that he could do the math. How much money did he spend on himself.
Not noticing Xu Ziqiao who saw her small movements behind her, his face darkened almost
Chapter 15
Xu Qinghe came in at this time, before he opened his mouth, Xu Ziqiao hurriedly pushed the door out with a stern face, without even looking at him when he passed by.
Lin Huiru was still counting the money, and didn't notice the smell of explosives at all.
Xu Qinghe's face darkened by half, and he could only wait for Lin Huiru to finish counting the money.
Lin Huiru turned around and spread out a big hand directly in front of her.
"Give it to me." Xu Qinghe only thought that she had counted the money and wanted to give it to herself.
Lin Huiru was confused by him, how much money did he just count? How many catties of meat and vegetables are you going to buy? Ma Dan, the brain is full of porridge, this Xu Qinghe is crazy, doesn't he even knock on the door?
"Brother, did you reach out the wrong hand? My sister-in-law is next door. My money is for me and Ziqiao's living expenses, so I can't give it to you." Lin Huiru said.
How shameless, how dare you reach out to your sister-in-law without knocking on the door?
The other half of Xu Qinghe's face also turned black. This Lin is so brave, dare to confront him?
"I'm your elder brother. I came to ask you for the money that should be handed over to the family this month. Is it wrong? You dare to talk to me like that just after entering the door. Do you want to go to heaven in a few years?" Xu Qinghe scolded with a straight face .
"Brother, did you make a mistake? Now our husband and wife are tightening our belts to live, and we will not smell meat for a few days. A few mornings, I saw my sister-in-law bring a plate of bacon to eat. Shouldn't I be helping my brother? The younger brother of the trial? Why do you still come to ask us for money?"
"Are you afraid that you don't know how much it will cost you?"
Lin Huiru saw through Xu Qinghe's eyes like sharp knives, making him both ashamed and angry .
"Uncle, take a good look at it. Ziqiao and I earned every copper coin here. We use it in a down-to-earth manner. If you have time to ask for money, it's better to go to the town to find a job. You can earn more than ten yuan a day." , It's much faster than reaching out to me here. The little tiger in the village is moving goods at the pier, and his life is very good."
"You asked me to go to the town to move goods!" Xu Qinghe was so angry that he almost wanted to beat Lin Huiru.
"Can't you move? Is it that my elder brother is not in good health? Then we have to find a way to earn money. Our family's Zi Qiao is also in poor health, and it is very hard to earn money." After saying this, Lin Huiru didn't want to talk nonsense with Xu Qinghe. So, I went out with my little burden on my shoulders.
Xu Qinghe was left alone in the room and was furious. He didn't get a copper coin and was ridiculed. It was unbearable!
When Liu Xiulan saw her man come back with a stern face, she knew that something was wrong, and before she could react, she was slapped and slapped into a corner.
"I don't earn a copper coin and still take money from my mother's house every day. Did Zhuang Zhuang Shuxiu be secretly embezzled by you? I said, the money I saved a long time ago is still less, is it you!" Xu Qinghe shouted.
Liu Xiulan had something in her heart, so naturally she didn't dare to speak, her own brother was going to get married soon, what happened to the few taels of money that her sister gave her? Anyway, there is a brother in the family who can copy books to earn money, isn't money readily available?
"Where's Zi Qiao? I heard they said Zi Qiao bought a tael of silver for each book, wouldn't it be good to let him copy a few more copies?" Liu Xiu looked as she sat on the ground and began to cry.
Xu Qinghe's brain hurts even more, this woman in her family is useless except for her face and mouth!
"Shut up! Look at the marriage you're looking for. That Lin family holds Xu Ziqiao's money as tightly as a goblin, and doesn't keep a single coin. What can I do?" Xu Qinghe roared, if it wasn't for the Lin family that this woman is looking for, Let Xu Ziqiao marry this Lin Huiru, how could the family become like this.
In the past, Xu Ziqiao would give him any money he asked for, but since they got married, he hasn't given him a single copper coin.
"Didn't you agree with Ge Lan at the beginning? You temporarily changed to the Lin family, and you asked for it!"
Liu Xiulan felt heartbroken. Ge Lan asked for a bride price of fifteen taels. Who would give so much money to marry a wife? The Lin family only needs six taels of silver, so of course the Lin family's daughter-in-law is the one to compare? Who knew that after marrying a tigress, she really regretted it and her heart ached.
Although this Xu Ziqiao was angry, he still found a dry ox cart and put all Lin Huiru's things on the cart, including the pots and bowls that were packed last night and other things needed to set up a stall. corner of the car.
Lin Huiru came out of the room angrily, holding her own underwear.
"You are good, your brother asked me for money again, and I didn't give a single coin!"
This man was good, and left without knowing it, so that when she turned around and saw Xu Qinghe's face, she almost jumped up.
"Don't pay attention to him, he... will get used to it." Originally, he also planned to stop giving him money after getting married. He is also a human being and has his bottom line, so he will not just tolerate it.
In the past, he still had a lot of money, and when he got married, Liu Xiulan asked him for fifteen taels of betrothal gift, and spent more than twenty taels of silver in total, so his savings were gone. There are only a few months left in the examination, so he has to save money quickly or it will be delayed.
Xu Ziqiao told Lin Huiru about this, and only told her not to give money in the future.
Still the same sentence, he also has a wife, and it is only natural for him to give money to his wife, and no one can refute it.
"Fifteen taels? Are you afraid you were cheated?" The corner of Lin Huiru's mouth twitched. It turned out that the marriage between the two of them was muddled, and there was more than one person making money out of it!
"Sister-in-law is leaving for twenty taels. She said it was fifteen taels of dowry, and the rest is for shopping." Xu Ziqiao answered truthfully.
"My parents said it was only eight taels of silver. As for the things...two catties of sugar, half a tael of silver is not enough."
Xu Ziqiao widened his eyes, and then looked at the Xu family who was getting farther and farther away.
"If it weren't for the fact that you are a juror, do you think my parents would marry me to you? Mrs. Liu clearly wants to marry you a woman from a poor family, so that she can take care of your wife, and later take care of you!" "
They What are you thinking? You are not Xu Qinghe's brother who hurt you so much, are you?" Lin Huiru guessed wildly.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ziqiao nodded, "You guessed it right, I'm not his younger brother, but unlike my father-in-law, I was entrusted to the second elder of the Xu family, so I'm not considered a pick-up."
Lin Huiru's eyes widened, surprised by her sixth sense, isn't this too accurate?
Chapter 16
To Xu Ziqiao's surprise, Lin Huiru patted him on the shoulder, with a slight smile on his face, and said in a comforting tone, "It's the family's misfortune that such a brother is his own. Those who are close to Zhu Chi and those close to ink are black, you have a great fortune." There is no need to waste your future with them."
Seeing her solemn words of comfort, Xu Ziqiao couldn't help feeling that Lin Huiru was only strong on the outside and soft on the inside, so he smiled.
"So I want to rent a house in the town this time, so that it will be convenient for you to do business."
Lin Huiru made some calculations, so that he can avoid the pair of superb brothers and sisters, and save the back and forth. The money and hard work of the ox cart, it is right for her to spend money to buy a comfortable one, "Okay, I don't want to owe you, and the half taels of silver and the rent, we will share equally." "You are my wife, and it is right to support you.
" Yes, why do you always have to settle the accounts separately with me?" Xu Ziqiao's complexion turned dark, and she was somewhat unwilling.
Lin Huiru was very happy about what he said. If you talk about a relationship in modern times, some top-notch men are eager to share the expenses. Xu Ziqiao is honest, but she doesn't want to owe anything.
"We are not suitable. We will be separated sooner or later. I don't want to owe you anything." Lin Huiru lowered his body and picked a dry grass to play.
Xu Ziqiao's face became even more weird, and he just said, "I won't make up." Then he didn't say anything.
Lin Huiru couldn't help feeling that this person was too stubborn, but she didn't care. She always believed that as long as there is one person in an arranged marriage who doesn't compromise, it can't go on.
...
She picked a stall that sold out breakfast, paid the fee for renting the stall at five renminbi, and placed the prepared pots and seasoning bowls one by one. The fresh gadgets immediately attracted many people to stop, People were talking in groups about what she was up to.
Lin Huiru put on a charcoal pot to heat up skewers at the end. As soon as the water boiled, the smell of the hot pot bottom material spread in all directions, causing others to swallow their saliva uncontrollably.
"Girl, what are you selling here? Why is it so fragrant?"
"Yes, don't be fooled. Do you still want to do business? How much is it?"
"Fathers and folks! This is a new snack I researched, and I named it Chuan Chuan Xiang.! The spicy smell is already fragrant in the nose, and a bite can be described as endless aftertaste!" Lin Huiru looked attracted by the fragrance. The crowd immediately straightened their waists and introduced them, and when they swallowed their saliva, they stretched out a finger. "Opening invitation! Meat skewers cost three cents for one penny! Thirty pennies for ten skewers! Vegetarian skewers cost five cents for one penny! Buy twenty skewers and get one free!" "Give me twenty vegetarian skewers first!" The first man
swallowed Drooling, the first one handed over four pennies.
Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru looked at each other, and they each performed their own duties. Xu Ziqiao collected the money and reported the number, and Lin Huiru packed it according to the number. The men and women were matched, and the work was not tiring.
"This is really the best thing I've ever eaten here in my life! It's spicy and fragrant! Girl! Are you coming to the stall tomorrow? I'll order twenty skewers first!" The man was sweating from the hot forehead, and after buying Lin Huiru's last skewer, he was still a little unsatisfied.
Seeing Lin Huiru's cheeks flushed with sweat from being busy, Xu Ziqiao couldn't help but feel distressed, and then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it for her.
Although Lin Huiru could guess that it would be popular, she didn't expect that it would be sold out within half an hour. She didn't prepare too much for the experiment this time, and it seems that she can make more preparations in the future.
"Please come early tomorrow! Everyone! I will still come here tomorrow! If you like it, please come early!" Lin Huiru took the handkerchief in Xu Ziqiao's hand and wiped it carelessly, shouting excitedly road.
"We'll come back tomorrow!"
"This girl is really good at making such delicious food. If my mother-in-law has such a brain for making money, I'd be so happy." Xu Ziqiao watched the handkerchief take off for a
moment He was disappointed, but he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his lips when he heard the uproar, yes, he was very happy to have such a good lady.
Although Liu Xiulan tried every means to get his money, but this lady was the right one for him to marry.
Accompanying Lin Huiru to close the booth, Xu Ziqiao suddenly remembered that he had to go to a private school for class tomorrow, and had to study for the exam for several days. I am afraid that he will not have much time to go back recently.
"Miss, if you don't talk about it today, you've earned a tael of silver. Why don't you just rent a yard and you don't have to go back and face them." Xu Ziqiao was a little worried. , I was afraid that Lin Huiru would be embarrassed at night.
Lin Huiru naturally knew what he was thinking, but she refused, "I will give you back my first pot of gold, but you won't have much, you don't have to worry about me, I will double the money before I can consider renting the yard. "
In fact, Lin Huiru is thinking about the long-term. Although the people's hearts are not enough, but with such a good prospect, how can she not use the money wisely.
What she said made sense, Xu Ziqiao had no choice but to compromise. Lin Huiru excitedly bought a lot of meat and vegetables with today's two taels of silver in his hands, and then returned to Xu's house in an ox cart.
As expected of being a family member for half her life, Xu Ziqiao's worry still happened.
Liu Xiulan was directly at the main entrance this time, looking at Lin Huiru's big and small bags, her bad stomach started to boil again. "Sister and sister, did the business go well today?"
Seeing Liu Xiulan's fawning expression on her face, Lin Huiru's little face suddenly grew longer, and she grinned at her with a fake smile, "I'm sorry, no Money, if you want money
, you don't have to die." As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiulan's fake face couldn't hold back, she grabbed Lin Huiru's wrist, with a savage look on her face, "You two white-eyed wolves, live in our house. The house, eat and drink for free, but don't even have the heart to be an uncle!? Zhuang Zhuang must hand in the repairs! You must also find a way for me!"
Lin Huiru is not scared, Liu Xiulan The saliva was almost sprayed on her face, how could she bear it?
"You said this house belongs to you, I have no objection, but I don't know that the second elder in the underground sees you being so cold-hearted towards your brother." Lin Huiru slapped She slapped Liu Xiulan's hand and rolled her eyes again.
"Tell me how much that shabby house is worth? My husband-in-law spent more than a dozen taels of silver on you. Isn't that money? If it's not money, you spit it out? Are you still stretching out your hand confidently here, as if you are your own king?" Lin Huiru's mouth is eloquent, and every word is to the point.
Liu Xiulan is not a vegetarian either, she looked at her hand that was red from being slapped, and cried out, "Oh, what are you talking about, you uneducated bitch! The Xu family put him It took a lot of money to raise such a big man! Do you think our money fell from the sky!? What if he, an uncle, pays for his nephew?!"
Chapter 17 Are you worthy?
Hearing this, Lin Huiru's eyes were almost turned away. This kind of weirdness that she had only seen in jokes really existed.
She couldn't bear the righteous Liu Xiulan here, raised her hand and slapped her, "Shut up, you! Are you worthy of oppressing a brother for a brat who can only swear?" After the slap, Liu Xiulan
's Her face turned red immediately, and Xu Ziqiao was also taken aback by the crisp sound.
"Noisy, what are you doing!" Just as Xu Qinghe came back with a hoe on his shoulders, seeing Liu Xiulan being beaten, his face darkened immediately.
Liu Xiulan saw that Xu Qinghe had also found the backbone, and threw herself into the sweaty arms with a howl, "Look at that brother of yours! Look at how they bullied me!" Seeing Xu Qinghe come
in At that moment, Xu Ziqiao was about to protect Lin Huiru behind him. If Xu Qinghe made a move, how could Lin Huiru be so weak that he could stand it.
Seeing Liu Xiulan pointing at her face desperately, Lin Huiru couldn't help sneering, she was doing things by herself, why did this shrew have to shut her mouth, "Don't be so silly, it just so happens that you are all here today!" , let me make it clear, my son's Shuxiu takes it by himself, it's not his father's or his mother's, and he still spoils you?" "
Bitch! Why did our Xu family marry such a daughter-in-law as you!? Zi Qiao, you either divorced This bitch pays your nephew's tuition, or you go out with her!" Xu Qinghe's face was livid, and although Liu Xiulan was already in her mid-mature, she still had a charm, and he was very satisfied with being so relied on.
Lin Huiru had been made intolerable by this group of top relatives, and she wanted to wait a few days after being wronged, but from this point of view, she was being forced to leave here.
Whoever's daughter-in-law hurts, Xu Ziqiao is becoming more and more unbearable in this environment, he protects Lin Huiru, and looks coldly at the pair of brothers and sisters who are increasingly unrestrained, "We leave Xu's house, there is no need for you to rush. Brother, I will do my best, brother, you will be kind."
Watching Xu Ziqiao leave with Lin Huiru in her arms, Liu Xiulan, who seemed to be poured by a basin of cold water, suddenly became sober. If Xu Ziqiao left, wouldn't their future money fly away? In the
shabby hut, Xu Ziqiao carefully held Lin Huiru's wrist, looked left and right, and looked anxiously, "How is it? Sister-in-law, she didn't hurt you, did she?" ?"
The corners of Lin Huiru's mouth twitched. Did the child have bad eyesight? She slapped Liu Xiulan twice. If she had to say something, she must have hurt her hands.
"Don't worry, I won't let them bully me. You still listen to me. Go to the town and find a house to live in. I've been copying a few books in the past two days. It will be fine." Xu Ziqiao looked serious. Lin Huiru's bad mood disappeared, but another kind of worry also arose.
"I'm fine, but that's all I can do now. I want to go out again today and try to make more money tomorrow." Lin Huiru pursed her lips and let out a sigh of relief. of silver.
There are still more than 900 wen left after paying back Xu Ziqiao's money. For her, this is her first pot of gold when she comes to this place.
There was a slight sound of the door, and Lin Huiru immediately tightened the purse and hid it. After all, only two old moths and one uneducated can come in here.
Xu Qinghe pushed open the door and poked his head in, his face full of unnaturalness, "Zi Qiao, don't get excited, your sister-in-law is only thinking about this family, and Xu's family can be regarded as honorable if they can have one more student." "Brother, do
n't This meeting is close, needless to say, we will leave the day after tomorrow, and we will not take anything from the Xu family, so you can just keep it and eat." Lin Huiru grinned and made a gesture of please, ready to go Good to close.
"This is about me and Ziqiao, what are you talking about as a woman?!" Xu Qinghe looked at Lin Huiru sadly, and Xu Ziqiao couldn't ignore the viciousness in his eyes.
Xu Ziqiao settled down, and the disappointment with this family still showed in his eyes, "Brother, needless to say, let's live a clean life separately."
What a joke, if Xu Ziqiao left, it would be just like what Liu Xiulan said, and if they wanted to make money, they would have to lose a lot of money.
"Zi Qiao, our Xu family has raised you so much and given you this life, don't be ignorant!" Xu Qinghe clenched his fists, full of dissatisfaction.
"I really can't listen to what I'm saying. It's not enough to give you a dozen taels of silver after giving it to your parents. The rich have a lot of money. Why don't you grab it?" Lin Huiru I didn't bother to chat with him, so I pulled Xu Ziqiao and strode out the door.
Xu Qinghe wanted to yell and leave and don't come back, but he held back when he saw Liu Xiulan who was poking her head.
Lin Huiru took Xu Ziqiao to a car and went back to Lin's house. As soon as she came home yesterday, her cheap father decided to separate the family, and she didn't know what was going on now.
On the bullock cart, Lin Huiru was thinking messily, but Xu Ziqiao touched the wrist she had pulled, and smiled warmly at her wrinkled face from time to time.
Before entering the Lin family's door, Lin Huiru was nearly hit by a flying stool. Then came the foul language, and the scolding that was hard to hear.
"White-eyed wolf! I raised you up! You are not dead yet and you want to divide the family property now?!" Wang raised her hand and slapped her father Lin Qing on the face, her dark and thin figure did not hide , It is rare to stand still.
"Mom! I know it's not easy for you to bring me up, especially since I'm not your own son... But I've paid a lot for this family over the years!" The spine can't straighten up a bit.
Lin Huiru's eyes were full of chills, and she kicked the stool back again, regardless of whether her foot hurt or not, she stepped forward and directly grabbed Wang's wrist that was about to be beaten. "Old fat woman, you are old-eyed and dizzy. You beat even the most filial people. Wouldn't you save food if you beat someone like uncle to death?" Since she came, she had to worry about
it The poor girl in the upper body is doing something, not to mention this kind of moral kidnapping, even passing her is unbearable.
Seeing Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao both coming, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but tremble. The warning she was given to her last time was still there, and she had to be afraid of Xu Ziqiao.
Lao Lin's face changed when he saw this difficult granddaughter coming back. Qi Hehua wiped away her tears in a panic and pulled Lin Huiru back, thinking that she couldn't accuse her granddaughter of being unfilial.
"Water thrown out by a married woman, what are you doing back now!?" Old Lin's eyes were not friendly, and he had no emotion at all. Lin Qing was not blind, and he was even more chilled by this family.
Chapter 18
"What's the matter, I'm not allowed to come back and walk around often?" Lin Huiru poked his eyes out, "Don't worry, I'm here to pick up my parents. I don't care about coming back here.
" For a while, Lin Huiru noticed Zhou Shi who was cowering, shook off Qi Hehua's hand and grabbed her, and said coldly with a smile, "Auntie, don't go, it's just time to separate and drive away." Come on, my dowry, you should spit it out, right?"
"What dowry, don't slander people here! A married daughter comes back to meddle in the separation of the family, so shameless!" Zhou shook off. Lin Huiru's hand gave her a vicious look, and then hid behind Lin Dashan.
Lin Dashan must have had a hand in this kind of thing, and Lin Huiru was almost laughed at by this family. Since they are so ignorant of flattery, then she will settle it properly.
"You still deny it, right!? Even if you are a Pixiu who can't spit out, if I report to the police, I don't know whether to steal so many valuable things now, whether to chop off my hands or break my legs!" Lin Huiru said, and in a blink of an eye Looking at Xu Ziqiao, "What's more, this is stolen from the main house!"
"What a slut exactly like your mother! After getting married, she still misses the things at home!" Wang did not dare to approach Lin Huiru. , fumbled around for the things in hand, but found nothing, and could only jump angrily.
This was started by Mrs. Zhou. When she heard that Lin Huiru was going to report to the officials, she turned pale on the spot, "Why do you speak so badly at a young age?! I just want to add makeup to you! And you are still young, if you It's troublesome to lose it, why don't I keep it for you!"
"Yo, my mother is doing well, when will it be your turn to keep my things for a bully like you?" Lin Huiru crossed her arms and stretched out three With a single finger, "I'll give you three counts and return all my things, or I'll let my husband report to the police!"
Zhou was so frightened that he ran back, wanting to enjoy it Lin Dashan let go, of course he was ten million unwilling, and if he couldn't bully Lin Huiru, he went to pull Lin Qing.
"Look at this white-eyed wolf you raised! Sure enough, the kind of father is the kind of daughter! If my mother-in-law gave birth to such a thing, I would have strangled her to death and thrown her into the army ravine!" How did Lin Dashan bully Lin Qing on weekdays? They all got what they wanted, but when Lin Huiru was mentioned, Lin Qing became a little uneasy.
Lin Qing has the energy to work all day long, and with a backhand push, he pushed the crippled Lin Dashan to the ground, and pointed at him with a thick layer of calloused fingers, "Why doesn't my daughter need you, a piece of trash?" Talk! Usually you squeeze me! You even swallowed the dowry I left for my daughter, are you still human!?
" He was going to fight, but suddenly there was a figure outside the door.
"Give me assistants!" I don't know which neighbor was so kind, and invited the village chief uncle over. With the benefit of being fair, there are many more people watching the fun outside the Lin family.
"It's all a family! What are you fighting here!?" The village head uncle came over and smiled kindly at Lin Huiru, and his face suddenly turned cold when he saw the Lin family's nest. ââThey were all aware of the oppression Lin Qing received on weekdays, and they murmured in secret, how could
Lao Lintou have picked up a son?
It's because he's not here. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen today.
"You are still fighting in front of Xu Juren, what are you doing!" The village chief's uncle has bad legs and feet, and he is leaning on crutches. Although he is thin, he looks like a breeze.
The village head is a distant relative of the county head who is somewhat related, and no one would dare to offend him on weekdays. Seeing him coming, Lao Lintou threw away his hoe and pulled up his eldest son in distress.
It happened that Mrs. Zhou came out with the swallowed box, and was taken aback when she saw the village chief. Lin Huiru took two steps forward to get the box back, and counted it according to Qi Hehua's instructions.
There are three silver hairpins and a set of clothes, only two are left at this meeting, and I know that the lost things will definitely not be found.
Lin Huiru went to the village chief with the red box in his hand, "Uncle village chief, let's not talk about anything else. When I got married, my mother gave me three silver hairpins and a set of clothes. My uncle didn't give them to me, you Look, there are only two bare hairpins left."
Seeing this hairpin, Lin Huiru knew what sloppiness is, but as the dowry of a poor family, she could already read love from it.
"This...Xu Juren, I made you laugh." The village chief's face was also quite ugly, and after greeting Xu Ziqiao, he looked at Zhou's coldly.
Only then did Xu Ziqiao say anything, and he couldn't intervene in the confusion just now, "Village chief, these are the wishes of my wife and mother's family after all, I don't want anything else, I just want to get those things back and leave them for my wife. "
The stark contrast came out immediately, Xu Ziqiao brought his daughter-in-law to ask for something politely, and the moths of the Lin family were still swearing, this is really unfortunate for the family.
"Yes, a girl can leave some dowry when she gets married." The village chief said with emotion, and asked Mrs. Zhou, "Why don't you hurry up and take out the dowry of the girl of the Lin family?
" Well, these things are only known to the mother and son. If she is killed, everyone in the Lin family will help her.
"I don't! It's all this debt collector's nonsense. Their family is so poor, how could they have the money to make three hairpins!" Zhou didn't feel ashamed when he told a lie, and he spit out his red lips and white teeth. One word is true.
Lin Huiru's brows were twitching, but someone outside suddenly shouted, "I can testify that the girl of the Lin family has three hairpins, and I made the hairpins with Rong!
" Tall and full of righteousness, coming forward at this time is tantamount to doing their second room a big favor. As long as there are witnesses, it is appropriate for Lin Huiru to sue the family in the yamen.
The village head's piercing eyes swept over again, Zhou couldn't help but turn pale.
"Uncle, keep pretending. Even if my hairpin and clothes are broken into scum, you have to make them up and hand them over to me." Lin Huiru sneered, and asked through gritted teeth, "Tell me, where did you get the things?"
Mrs. Zhou lowered her head, her face was full of guilt, "My natal brother's child got married, and I haven't been able to give it away recently...Isn't it just to take it first, and it's not that I won't return it to you. Why are you so anxious?" ..."
This made Lin Huiru amused, she really didn't expect someone to be so thick-skinned, "It's not your thing to be brave, and you still say it so confidently, I think your house is much better than my parents', anyway It's still living if you change, why don't you change first?"
Chapter 19 Inaction
"This is our Lin family's house. When will it be your turn to be a white-eyed wolf raised by outsiders?" Lin Dashan spat, and with one sentence, he completely put himself in an inhumane situation.
Lin Huiru just smiled when she heard the words, "In addition to this land, count these houses and things, and the fat that grows on your bodies. Whose credit is it? Since you say that we are outsiders, uncle, then you can't help it." We, outsiders, should settle the things." "
According to the laws of our country, if the family is divided, everyone should get back the property they should have. This point, the government can also act as justice." Xu Ziqiao suddenly spoke, and let the Lin family Reippi was dumb for a moment.
Lin Huiru was right, except for this piece of land, all these years they have lived the days of stretching out their hands to the second room. People in the middle, seeing the way they look at each other, is simply very satisfying.
"Why?! We brought this man back and raised him, so he left as soon as he wanted? Since we were young, we have never paid any money, and we want to take away the things of the Lin family. What a white-eyed wolf!" Old Lin said. In front of the village head, it's not easy to swear, and what you say makes people laugh and cry.
It really met what others thought, this is a long-term worker bought without money!
Lin Huiru slammed the mahogany box, and a loud noise attracted everyone's attention, "To put it bluntly, raising a cow is also The master feeds the cattle, but also needs the cattle to eat grass and plow the land to earn money, you see, is this something that humans can do." The Lin
family is unruly, but they also died of ignorance, and they are speechless. While speaking, Lin Yaoyao stepped in from the crowd, and when he saw Lin Huiru, he immediately raised his voice and asked, "What are you doing back again?! Don't you think the house is messed up enough by you?" "Me?" Lin
Huiru Ru pointed at herself in a funny way, she talked too much today, so she didn't want to worry about it anymore, "Uncle Village Chief, you have also seen this group of unreasonable people, so let's take this opportunity to separate."
Seeing Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru both looking over, the village chief could only shake his head regretfully, and couldn't help slandering the misfortune of the family.
"Separate family? It's not grandma's own, but you still want to take away the things of the Lin family?" Lin Yaoyao said savagely with his hips akimbo.
"Stay away, kid, it's none of your business." Lin Huiru waved his hand and walked to the village chief, "Uncle village chief, our second room is kind-hearted and just wants to take away what should belong to us." Things, even this house can't take them away, so they can convert them into wages and give them to us."
Mrs. Zhou was not happy when she heard that, Lao Lintou and Mrs. Wang doted on Lin Dashan, and Lin Dashan also provided for his wife, so all the money was taken by her. I took it to help my natal brother, how could it be possible to get it out?
"Uncle village chief, how can anyone come back and intervene in the water that was spilled by this married daughter." Zhou twisted her body and stepped forward, writing Full of reluctance.
"Yo." Lin Huiru didn't expect her to have the cheek to say, "Auntie's words don't hurt her face? But it's thicker than my father's mud wall? The water poured out by this married daughter, take me Is this something people do?"
Lin Huiru knew that she would not be able to get those things back for a while, but her cheap parents needed a lot of money to turn around, so she didn't give them to Zhou. Given the opportunity to choke, she changed the topic.
"If you can't come up with enough money to swallow the dowry today, we can report to the government, and I can also go to the government to file a complaint against those who have taken over my father these years, but don't forget, I Father and mother are Juren's father-in-law and mother-in-law, if you bully others, you should weigh your own weight first, don't be ashamed here."
Lin Dashan and his wife winked from time to time, and exchanged looks anxiously, Lin Dashan thought that his mother-in-law was saving money for preparation Saving a betrothal gift for her son who didn't have a single character, but she didn't expect that she would actually take the money to help her mother's family.
"I'll beat you to death, you shameless one!" Mrs. Wang became even more furious, and slapped her across the face. Mrs. Zhou couldn't dodge, so she was slapped hard, and burst into tears immediately.
Lin Yaoyao was frightened and kept in place, Lin Dashan didn't help this one, and he didn't help that one, and Lao Lintou kept stomping his feet, sighing and cursing Lin Qing, the scene was more than just a random word?
"Shut up all of them!" Lin Huiru frowned and picked out her ears, "I don't care about you, I'll pick up my parents tomorrow, if you can't get the equivalent money, I don't have any relatives Talk to you!"
Looking at such a strong Lin Huiru, Xu Ziqiao felt distressed and guilty. She was a weak woman who knew how to protect herself and her parents, but he was still oppressed by her elder brother and did not resist.
Lin Qing and Qi Hehua held hands tightly. Seeing Lin Huiru do this for them, she shed tears of bitterness. Although he was useless for half his life, they are convinced to have this daughter! "Village chief, I, Lin
Qing I have always relied on myself in this life, and I have never asked anyone. I want justice from you today, just like what my daughter said, and if we still can't get it tomorrow, then we will sue the officials to the end!" Lin Qing insisted He straightened his back, this time separating the family was the hardest time he had ever fought for his daughter.
Seeing that Qi Hehua also nodded with tears in her eyes, the village chief naturally couldn't say anything else to persuade Xu Ziqiao, and the Lin family's behavior was too much, "Okay! We have seen what you have done for the Lin family all these years. Li, I will definitely take care of this matter for your second room, girl, you don't have to worry about it."
Lin Huiru nodded gratefully, thinking that there is finally a reliable person in this place.
After leaving Lin's house, Lin Huiru took Xu Ziqiao to buy some vegetables and meat, and planned to sell more the next day, so that he could settle his own food and clothing first, and then help the poor parents.
Seeing Lin Huiru keeping her head down on the way, Xu Ziqiao couldn't help thinking that she was sad about what happened today, and that he had also suffered because of his elder brother's family, let alone a helpless weak woman.
"Don't be sad, I'll copy more books, and you will have a better life." Xu Ziqiao comforted Lin Huiru with soft brows and eyes.
Lin Huiru sighed, Xu Ziqiao is a good person, but she is a modern woman and does not accept arranged marriages.
"Your book is not printed. If you get sick, it will be even more troublesome. I want to catch up today, do more, and make more money tomorrow." Lin Huiru took Xu Ziqiao's hand, she was too lazy to talk to Xu Ziqiao Explain what she thinks.
She thought that if Xu Ziqiao was well-off, she would have a chance to have three wives and four concubines, and she would use that time to break the relationship.
Chapter 20 Seasoning Artifact
Xu Ziqiao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think that Lin Huiru was feeling sorry for him. After showing a smile, she dimpled slightly, "Okay, I'll help you. We earn money tomorrow, so we can just âârent a house in the town?" That's it." Lin Huiru's heart was not heavy, but she was very relaxed, and the reduction of so many oil bottles would save her some trouble, and she had already begun to look forward to a better future.
Back at the quiet Xu's house, Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao closed the door and worked hard until late at night. The result was that they wore twice as much clothes as they did today. If they could sell them all, they would be worth two taels of silver.
What worries Lin Huiru is that when the hot pot base is always used up, she still has to go to the space to exchange for something useful.
It's a pity that she didn't pick wild vegetables today. The only thing that was ancient was the new piece of cloth she tore...
She thought, anyway, she didn't have to exchange it, so she put the new piece of cloth on it. This time, three options appeared on the screen: ten coins, a rubber band, and a bottle of cumin powder.
After all, cloth is something that exists in modern and ancient times, and these few dollars are not enough for her to pull the cloth. Looking at the cumin powder on the screen, Lin Huiru's eyes suddenly brightened.
The hot pot base is still a bit spicy, and many women and children are afraid to eat it, so she has lost a lot of customers, but if there is cumin powder, she can try to make five-spice skewers.
Once a bottle of cumin powder is in hand, the cloth disappears. Lin Huiru hid the cumin powder under her pillow and fell asleep happily.
The next day, Lin Huiru got up earlier than chickens. She boiled bone soup, poured the bottle of cumin powder into a porcelain bottle, then fried peppercorns and crushed them, and added salt and aniseed. I tapped some with my fingertips and put it in my mouth. I tasted it, and it really tasted like cumin! It was still
the same stall. When Lin Huiru went, several people were already waiting for her. Seeing her coming, they came forward one after another. looking around.
When it is warm and cold, hot pot skewers are the best thing to eat and warm the body. Lin Huiru is a person who eats hot pot in summer with the air conditioner on, so he is confident about his own business.
"It's coming."
"That's the smell, it's really fragrant."
"It's so fragrant, is there something mixed in it?"
Lin Huiru boiled two pots in a hurry, one clear soup and one The red soup, the soup boiled very quickly, and many children who were attracted by the aroma also brought the adults over to join in the fun.
"This mother tried it yesterday. You can't eat the spicy one." A woman was holding her fussy child with a helpless expression on her face.
Lin Huiru smiled knowingly, stood on the stool and raised his voice, "Fathers and folks, I also have non-spicy bone soup skewers for the children today. When it's so cold, eat a bite of skewers and drink some." Bone soup is the best way to warm up your body! Bone soup only costs two cents a bowl! You can drink twenty sticks for free!" At
this time, someone asked, "Your soup is so delicious, is it bad for children?"
Nonsense Not much to say, Lin Huiru picked up a bunch of meat and sprinkled some cumin noodles into his mouth, chewed it carefully, his lips and teeth were fragrant, "You see, I eat by myself, and I don't eat skewers all day long. , and you don't have to worry about getting fat."
These words attracted some women, who had looked at the red soup oil before and worried about their figure, and now they all gathered around.
Seeing that before the afternoon, there was no scum left in the two pots, Lin Huiru was so happy that she just gave Xu Ziqiao a high-five.
"How is it? How much money did you earn today?" Lin Huiru packed up her things and looked at Xu Ziqiao happily.
Xu Ziqiao handed the money bag to her, and was also infected by Lin Huiru's emotion into a smile, "Two taels of silver and one hundred and eighty-two cash, a lot more than yesterday, more than enough to rent a house.
" The amount was within Lin Huiru's expectations, and she still weighed her purse happily. Adding up her money, she was already a person with three or two taels of silver, which was not easy.
Just when she was going to see the house with Xu Ziqiao, by coincidence, she saw Ge Lan shyly coming.
"Ah, what a coincidence, brother Xu, why..." Ge Lan looked surprised at Xu Ziqiao who was helping Lin Huiru push the cart, and then became angry. Xu Ziqiao, who she couldn't get, was pointed at by Lin Huiru to push the cart!
Ge Lan stepped forward to support Xu Ziqiao's arm, and his eyes fell on Lin Huiru with resentment, "Little sister, brother Xu is a scholar, no rougher than you When I grow up, what if I get tired of this broken car and delay my studies!?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of this big lotus, Lin Huiru folded her arms and rolled her eyes.
"Let go, a handsome seven-foot man, how could he not even be able to push a cart." Xu Ziqiao frowned, raised his arm and pulled it out of Ge Lan's hand.
Ge Lan took a step back and was angry and annoyed, but he still couldn't show it. He still needed to put on an empathetic look, "Brother Xu, sister Xiao Ru is willing to do so. This is the hand of a pair of scholars." "Okay, shut up.
" Talk to you." Lin Huiru stepped forward and pushed Ge Lan away, "If you don't like you pushing, they all grew up in the village, who is more noble than whom?"
Xu Ziqiao had already found a good house, and it cost five hundred a month Wen, this relationship will take four months, so he hesitated before.
Grant stomped angrily behind the two of them, but followed quietly.
It just so happened that the owner of the yard was here, and he was able to rent the house to the well-known Xu Juren. The man looked very relieved, and he didn't want to let go of the money.
Lin Huiru looked around carefully, thinking that she didn't like the intrigue in the girls' dormitory in college, not to mention that she had to work part-time to make money for travel, so she rented a house outside the school.
She has experience in renting houses.
After looking around the yards of the three houses, Lin Huiru was a little dumbfounded. The house was neither new nor old, and there were still some things for daily use. In addition, it was also close to Xu Ziqiao's academy, so it was not impossible to spend two or two taels of silver. , but she still wants to give herself some leeway.
"Brother, how about this? We'll pay every two months." The owner of the house wanted to refuse, but Lin Huiru hurried on. "Let's write a contract. I will pay the money for the next two months before the second month. If I don't pay, the money for the remaining month will be yours." Seeing the doubtful face of the man
, Lin Huiru explained again, "We signed this contract. If you can't get it out, you can report to the officials. My husband has to take part in the examination, and he will stay for at least four months." Xu Ziqiao was a little surprised at Lin
Huiru Huiru thought that money is tight at this time, and this is a good way. He put down the car and came to make a promise, "Don't worry, we will make up the money before the second month. I can take it and I will I swear to try it, please."
