Chapter 3 The Evil Wife in Period Literature 2

Fang Shufen came home from get off work carrying the groceries she had bought. As soon as she opened the door, she saw her mother-in-law and sister-in-law sitting at the dining table eating.

She really treated this sister-in-law who was nearly 20 years younger than her as her own daughter. Especially when she only had two children, she really loved her sister-in-law who was fair-skinned and adorable.

Unfortunately, in response to the national family planning policy, my father-in-law said that their family must set an example, after all, they already have two boys. Otherwise, even though she is old, if she can have a baby like my sister-in-law, she and her husband will probably wake up laughing in their dreams.

Thinking of what her sister-in-law had been going through these days, she showed a distressed look on her face. "Mom, I happened to grab some spare ribs at the market today, and I can use them with the yam in the kitchen to make a soup for Xiangxiang."

As she said this, she put the ribs on the table, looked at her sister-in-law's delicate skin, squinted her eyes and said, "Look, you haven't eaten all day, your face is thin from hunger."

Fang Yan looked at the fair and rosy face of her daughter and felt that her eldest daughter-in-law still had some vision. Hasn't her daughter lost weight?

She touched her daughter's hand and found it was a little cold, so she quickly asked her eldest daughter-in-law to go to the north room to get clothes.

The Lin family now lives in a small courtyard with three rooms, one bright and two dark, on the north side. Fang Xia and Lin Dajun live in the north main house, while Lin Xiang's grandparents, Lin Laogen and Liu Xiulan live in the north side house. The original owner lives in the other north side house.

The eldest brother Lin Weihong and his family of four lived in the east wing, one for the couple and one for the two children. The two wing on the west side was just right for the second and third brothers, but they didn't usually live at home, so the two rooms were usually vacant.

One of the two rooms on the south side is a study, where Lin Dajun usually works. He usually does not allow young people to enter, except for his little daughter. The other is a living room and dining room, where he usually entertains guests and eats.

However, when the weather is good, everyone will move the long wooden table to the spacious courtyard, place it under the osmanthus tree, and eat in the lingering fragrance of the evening flowers.

In the southeast corner of the yard is the kitchen where meals are usually prepared, and in the southwest corner is the place where the grains are harvested.

Fang Yan took the clothes from her eldest daughter-in-law and put them on her daughter while coaxing her: "Nannan, it's autumn now, you should put on more clothes. You haven't been in good health recently. What if you catch a cold? Aren't you most afraid of taking medicine and getting injections? Be good and put on this coat."

Lin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was really cold to let her mother feel that she was cold. But she hadn't received such pure love for a long time, so she obediently let her mother dress her up.

Fang Shufen watched this scene of loving mother and filial daughter with a smile on her face, but deep down she was very envious of her mother-in-law for having such a well-behaved and lovely daughter.

Suddenly, Fang Shufen slapped her head and said, "Oh, Mom, it's already 11:30. I have to go make lunch first. The two naughty monkeys Ai Dang and Ai Min will be back from school soon."

Fang Yan asked her daughter-in-law to cook first, and asked her to blanch the pork ribs and cut the yam into pieces for later use. She wanted to make yam and pork ribs soup for her daughter herself.

Lin Xiang looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were busy cooking in the kitchen, and felt the long-lost tranquility in the rising smoke.

"003, why is the original owner of this book a vicious woman who despises poverty and loves wealth and abandons her husband?" Lin Xiang asked softly, basking in the sun and closing her eyes in the breeze.

"Host, the protagonist of this book is Tian Xiaocao, and all the stories are told from her first perspective. Human memory is very subjective, and her memory is very biased towards her own interests. From Tian Xiaocao's perspective, the original owner was a vicious wife with bad conduct who died early due to illness." 003 explained.

"But why did the original owner get sick and die early? I saw that her family took her health very seriously."

"Host, on the one hand, the original owner did not develop well during pregnancy due to her parents' divorce. On the other hand, because of the impact of the divorce, although no one blamed her, she blamed herself more. Over time, she became depressed and eventually died young."

…

As soon as Lin Aidan and Lin Aimin entered their yard, they saw their aunt sitting in the yard and seemed to have fallen asleep. The two brothers looked at each other and tiptoed along the wall towards the door.

"What the hell are you two doing?" Fang Shufen, who just came out to get some water, was furious when she saw the two kids' silly faces. The older these two naughty kids get, the more she wants a caring little cotton jacket, preferably one as caring as her sister-in-law.

Lin Aidan patted her head and chuckled, "Mom, please keep your voice down. I think my aunt seems to be asleep."

Lin Aimin nodded frantically behind his brother.

"I'm sunbathing. The sun is so nice today." Lin Xiang followed slowly behind, looking at her two adopted nephews. Thinking of those two crying faces at the original owner's wedding, she couldn't help but laugh.

The original owner was two years older than the eldest nephew and four years older than the second nephew. The three grew up together and had a good relationship. When the original owner wanted to get married, the two of them almost wanted to block the male protagonist in the alley and beat him up. Of course, this matter was also inseparable from the remote command of their third uncle in the army.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out in the end. The two boys cried louder than anyone else at the wedding, and the Zhang family had to give them a few more big red envelopes to comfort their wounded hearts with money. Although most of the red envelopes were taken when they got home.

Looking at the beautiful smile on Lin Xiang's face, the mother and her two children were all staring in amazement.

Lin Aidian made a face at his brother and said, “See, I told you that your aunt is a fairy from the sky who came to our house to experience misfortune!”

Lin Aimin received his brother's message and nodded repeatedly in his heart. When he was a child, he thought his aunt was really a fairy and would fly back to the sky when she grew up. He cried for a long time because of this.

Thinking of his good friend who always came to him privately to ask about his aunt, Lin Ai Dang snorted in his heart, I treat you as a brother, and you actually want to be my uncle? !

…

Fang Yan saw three silly kids standing at the kitchen door and pushed them aside: "Go, go, you two, put away your schoolbags quickly, wash your hands, and ask your grandma to come over for dinner. Old family, put the dishes on the table, why are you standing here like an idiot?"

After sending everyone away, Fang Yan looked at her daughter with concern and said softly, "Nannan, go wash your hands too, and drink a bowl of soup to moisten your stomach later." As she spoke, she scooped a ladle of hot water from the pot hook and put it in the porcelain basin. She also added some cold water and tested the water temperature with her hand to make sure it would not scald little Nannan before calling her daughter over to wash her hands.

Lin Xiang enjoyed her mother's meticulous care, as if in her memory, the little girl was taken care of in this way. How could such a little girl who was pampered and grew up like this be so crazy that she would leave her parents and accompany him to the countryside to suffer for a man?
