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 ...
Speaking of this, Lin Weiguo sighed.
His father has been dead for many years. Besides his mother Zhao Guilan, he has a younger brother and a younger sister.
When the family was divided, my mother favored the youngest, so she lived with my younger brother Lin Wei.
Lin Wei has a son and a daughter.
The one who fell into the river today was his daughter, Lin Meng.
"I went to see him, and he had a high fever. I asked the Wei family to take him to the clinic immediately, but they didn't want to spend money and said he could just stay at home and keep himself warm."
"In the end, I lost my temper and asked Lin Ye to call the barefoot doctor over."
"I heard the fever has subsided now."
Lin Ran frowned when he heard this.
She thought about the cousin in her memory, who always seemed to have a gloomy face and work with her head down.
The main reason is that my second uncle's family favors boys over girls, and even my grandmother, Old Lady Zhao, is the same.
Most of the housework fell on Lin Meng alone, so Lin Meng was busy like a top every day, working non-stop.
As I recall, although Old Lady Zhao favored boys over girls, she was nice to me.
On the one hand, there is the attitude of her parents. Her parents love her, and even if Mrs. Zhao wants her to work, they will never agree.
On the other hand, I also saw that I was beautiful, with delicate features and fair and tender skin. I was particularly conspicuous among the sun-tanned village girls, and successfully became the most beautiful girl in the area.
Based on these two factors, gradually, Old Mrs. Zhao became more and more concerned about herself.
In contrast, my cousin Lin Meng became the control group.
So the relationship between the two of them has been average since childhood.
Shen Wenfang and his wife could only sigh when talking about Lin Meng.
In the end, it was Shen Wenfang who spoke.
"Ranran, why don't you take two eggs and visit your cousin tomorrow? Your cousin is so pitiful!"
…
The next morning, Lin Ran waited until everyone had gone to work before setting off for her second uncle's house with two eggs.
Shen Wenfang was very careful. She cooked the eggs directly and told Lin Ran to let Lin Meng take them and eat them.
Because she knew that if the egg was seen by Second Aunt, it would definitely not go into Lin Meng's mouth.
My second uncle's house is at the entrance of the village, not far from their home, and it only takes a few minutes to walk there.
Lin Ran shouted from outside the fenced yard.
"Cousin, are you home?"
"Here, just come in."
It was not until Lin Meng's voice came from inside the house that Lin Ran pushed the door open and went in.
At this time, my second uncle's family went to work, and even my grandmother went to the river to wash clothes.
At this time, only Lin Meng was lying in bed at home.
Lin Ran glanced at Lin Meng, who was lying on the bed. Even though her face was sallow, she still looked pale and weak. She asked with concern:
"Cousin, are you okay?"
"That's all. I'm just a little hungry."
Lin Meng's voice was a little hoarse, and she licked her lips unconsciously while speaking.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ran quickly sent the eggs over.
"I just brought you some eggs, come and eat them."
Lin Meng's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he sat up, straightened his messy hair, and then took the egg and began to peel it.
He also did not forget to thank Lin Ran.
"Thank you!"
Seeing her like this, Lin Ran always felt that something was not right.
This seems to be different from the cousin she remembers.
The spirit is completely different!
But she didn't think much about it. She didn't have much interaction with this cousin, so no matter what happened, it was none of her business.
Now that he had seen it and the eggs had been delivered, Lin Ran wanted to say goodbye and leave.
"Then cousin, you have a good rest. I'm going back."
Only then did Lin Meng take the time to look at Lin Ran again, his eyes full of curiosity.
Is this the heroine?
However, she was not well yet and had no time to get close to the heroine, so she nodded politely.
"Okay, thank you for coming to see me!"
Lin Ran smiled, nodded, and left. Just as she reached the gate of the yard, a small cannonball rushed towards her.
"Cousin, you're here? Did you bring me anything delicious?"
Lin Ran staggered and only managed to stand steady after hugging the little cannonball.
At this time, the little cannonball was nestled in her arms, looking up at her, looking chubby.
It was her cousin, Lin Meng’s younger brother, Lin Ye, who was seven years old this year.
I was spoiled by my parents and grandmother since I was a child, and I am the most greedy.
But she seemed to have forgotten about this cousin when she came.
As I recall, because the original owner was the youngest in the family and had only this cousin, he was very kind to this cousin and would give him anything he had to eat.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran had an idea and smuggled out a piece of rock sugar from the space and handed it to Lin Ye's mouth.
"Of course I brought you some candy, come and eat it."
Lin Ye opened his mouth and put the rock sugar in, not forgetting to scream with excitement.
"Wow wow wow... my cousin is the best, Yebao loves my cousin the most!"
Yebao?
Lin Ran was speechless. Isn’t it shameful to call a seven-year-old Yebao?
But there's nothing he can do about it. His family spoiled him and called him their darling all day long. That's why Lin Ye still feels like a baby even though he's seven years old now.
This cousin plays outside all day long and his face is tanned, but he is young and chubby now, and he is still very cute as long as he doesn't make any noise.
Lin Ran rubbed his big head.
"My cousin has gone home, you can go and have fun."
Lin Ye sucked on the candy, nodded randomly, and ran off to find his friends with his short legs.
In the next few days, Wang Zhaodi was probably feeling guilty and didn't make any trouble, so Lin Ran had a few days of peace.
I read books at home during the day and picked up the original owner's textbooks again. At night, I went to the space to continue organizing my ancestors' books and give myself some special training.
But she didn't feel at peace for long. After just five days, Wang Zhaodi started to make trouble again.
"No, I've been working for five consecutive days. I have to rest tomorrow!"
Shen Wenfang felt a headache. This was not a daughter-in-law, but an ancestor!
"Who else is like you, working a few days and taking a day off?"
"I don't care about others, I just want to rest."
"Besides, no one else's family is like my younger sister, who still stays at home all day and eats white rice at such an old age."
Lin Ran couldn't bear it any longer. This second sister-in-law just wanted to make things difficult for her, right?
"You want to rest, don't use me as an excuse!"
Although she really wanted to say something tough, that she would go to work tomorrow and ask him not to stare at her all day long.
But it seems that I really can’t do farming!
"What's the matter? You're lazy and you don't want to be told? I just want to take a day off. I don't want to stay at home and act like a big lady like you. How can you not do that?"
"Anyway, either you agree to let me rest tomorrow, or let my younger sister go to work tomorrow. Otherwise, I will learn from my younger sister and stay at home all day and be lazy!"
After Wang Zhaodi said this harsh word, everyone had no choice but to compromise. Shen Wenfang and his wife were definitely reluctant to let Lin Ran go to work.
Lin Ran didn't care whether Wang Zhaodi took a break or not. After all, she didn't need to rely on others for support.
But she minded that Wang Zhaodi repeatedly used her as a weapon to attack Shen Wenfang. Every time she saw Shen Wenfang being mad at Wang Zhaodi because of her, she felt very uncomfortable.
It’s just going to work!
Just go for it!
At worst, I can just find an easy job for myself!
