The legitimate daughter of the marquis, Lin Ran, who had just experienced the loss of her mother and the only relative in her maternal family, was plotted against by her father and stepmother, but ...
These bold words quickly attracted the attention of all the adults in the main room.
Fourth Aunt Shen was so scared that she covered Cao Mingzhu’s mouth directly.
"Kid, can you say such things casually?"
The others stared at Cao Mingzhu coldly, obviously very angry.
After Cao Mingzhu was under control, Fourth Aunt Shen apologized to everyone.
"This child has been spoiled by her father. She doesn't think before she speaks. Mom and Dad, don't worry. Mingzhu actually has a good heart, but she just can't speak."
Old man Shen sighed and finally softened his heart and gave some advice.
"It has always been said that spoiling a child is like harming him. If you and Changzheng continue to spoil the child without any bottom line, you will regret it sooner or later."
Although Fourth Aunt Shen looked a little embarrassed, her eyes showed that she didn’t care at all.
They only have this one precious baby, how could they spoil him wrongly?
However, thinking that Mingzhu was really unhappy here today and couldn't get along with these cousins at all, she wanted to take the child back immediately.
"Mom and Dad, since everything about my second sister has been settled and it's getting late, I'll go back first to prevent Mingzhu from making you unhappy again."
After saying that, he didn't wait for anyone to respond and just pushed his bicycle away with Cao Mingzhu.
Seeing this, Old Man Shen also sighed, knowing that Fourth Aunt Shen had something against them.
But it was indeed getting late, so Shen Wenfang said goodbye and left with Lin Ran.
As soon as the mother and daughter walked out of the Huangqiao Brigade, Shen Wenfang could not help but start interrogating them:
"Ranran, what's with the bracelet you took out at noon?"
She had been holding it in all afternoon.
Fortunately, Lin Ran had already prepared for it.
"Actually, I took three and wanted to give one to each of you, but my second sister-in-law was too harsh that day, so I suddenly didn't want to give it to her, so I deliberately said there were only two."
This explanation was actually similar to what Shen Wenfang had guessed.
Lin Ran was afraid that Shen Wenfang would ask more questions, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Are we here today to borrow money from my second aunt?"
Speaking of this, Shen Wenfang sighed.
"Yes, your second aunt fell in love with Accountant Zheng and insisted on raising a hundred yuan, but her own family could only come up with ten yuan."
"If you really want to get married, it's not enough to just pay the betrothal gift."
"Look at your second aunt's house, there are only two rooms. How will Chunshan live after getting married? So she wants to build another room. Doesn't that cost money?"
"And the newlyweds have to buy new clothes? Make new shoes? That still costs money."
"I haven't even counted the other banquets and other things."
"Anyway, all the scattered items together will cost at least a hundred or so dollars."
"Let's first gather 150 yuan and lend it to her for a while, and then we'll pay her back when we make some money. Look how easy she said that!"
"She saved for so many years and only saved ten dollars, and now she owes 150 yuan. How long will it take her to pay it back?"
Aunt Shen really opened her mouth too high. Lin Ran asked curiously:
"So what are you going to do?"
"What else can I do? After all, they are my sisters. How can I just watch my nephew get married without money?"
"Your uncle and his family also meant the same thing. Luckily, we have many brothers and sisters, five families in total. We agreed that each family would take thirty, so it's not too much of a burden after all."
“…”
The mother and daughter chatted as they walked, so they didn't feel tired at all.
Seeing that they were about to reach the Tashan Brigade, Lin Ran finally couldn't help but ask.
"Mom, today Second Aunt said that Little Aunt's marriage was originally yours. What does that mean?"
Shen Wenfang blushed a little when her daughter gossiped about her.
"It's all old news, why bring it up?"
"Oh, Mom, please tell me about it. Otherwise, if a relative mentions it next time, I will know how to deal with it."
Finally, Shen Wenfang couldn't stand Lin Ran's constant coquettishness anymore, and since there was nothing she couldn't keep quiet about, she slowly told the story.
It turned out that the person Cao Changzheng had originally proposed to marry was Shen Wenfang, and he also had his eyes on Shen Wenfang.
But Shen Wenfang didn't like him because she thought he was too short, only 1.6 meters tall, and as a grown man, he had a round face and was not handsome at all, he could only be considered festive.
Especially after meeting Lin Weiguo, she firmly rejected Cao Changzheng.
It just so happened that Fourth Aunt Shen had reached the age where she could get married, and seeing that Cao Changzheng's family was well-off, she thought of giving it a try.
At first, Cao Changzheng actually thought Fourth Aunt Shen was too short, so he refused.
It was not until Shen Wenfang married Lin Weiguo that Cao Changzheng finally gave in and agreed to marry Aunt Shen.
Lin Ran was amazed as she listened to this. It turned out there was such a story.
No wonder the relationship between their two families has always been bad. Men against men, women against women, they all seem to be rivals in love!
Now she seemed to suddenly understand why Old Lady Shen clearly favored boys over girls, but among her four daughters she liked Fourth Aunt Shen the most.
Probably because Fourth Aunt Shen is most like her.
The others seem a bit silly, and they prefer handsome men when looking for one.
First it was Shen Wenfang, and then it was Aunt Shen Er.
I heard that Second Aunt Shen was attracted by Second Uncle's face and tall and thin stature, so she was willing to marry him and endure the hardships.
In the evening, Shen Wenfang told Lin Weiguo about borrowing money, and Lin Weiguo naturally had no objection.
…
Lin Ran went to work as usual for the next few days.
She is now very good at her job.
After arranging the tasks every day, the next step is supervision and inspection.
That day she was patrolling as usual. When she walked to the cowshed again, she unexpectedly saw Lin Meng again.
At this time, Lin Meng was arguing with Meng Chengwang, who had cleaned the cowshed last time.
Only when I got closer could I hear their conversation clearly.
