When cousin Lin Shuang's parents passed away, she was adopted by Lin Man's parents and became the family's darling.
Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...
Chapter 318 Reminder (Page 1/2)
Lin Man returned home and fried the meat. It was already 12:10. Fortunately, there was fried meat. She cut a piece to stir-fry with leeks, and then made a dish of pork liver, steamed a grouper and a plate of shrimps, and finally made an egg soup. The meal was ready at 12:40.
At this time, Huo Qingci just came back. As soon as Huo Qingci got home, Huo Junshan came over with his wife and little son. This time they also brought the new cotton-padded jackets made by Huo Yining and Huo Yian.
Huo Qingci helped bring the food to the table. Lin Man took the bag from her mother-in-law and took out the children's new cotton-padded jackets and coats, looking at them again and again.
"Mom, are these clothes a little big?"
"It's better to have a bigger one so I can wear it next winter."
When asking elders to help make clothes, they always like to make them one or two sizes larger. Although Lin Man doesn't like this, she didn't say anything.
"Mom, you guys sit down and eat first, I'll take the clothes in."
After Lin Man came out, Xiao Ya suddenly suggested, "Fei Fei brought the sewing machine to the new house. Man Man, do you want to buy one too? There are many children in your family, and we need to make a lot of clothes."
Lin Man wanted to say that the space electric sewing machine was better than the foot-operated sewing machine, but she thought that it was indeed a bit inconvenient since she didn't have a sewing machine.
It wouldn't cost much anyway, so she might as well buy a sewing machine after the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, she could also make a few more well-fitting gowns for her children.
Seeing his wife's hesitation, Huo Qingci replied readily, "Mom, after the New Year, I'll buy Manman a sewing machine, and a refrigerator in the summer."
Huo Qinghuan exclaimed, "Brother, you want to buy a refrigerator? A refrigerator costs about a thousand yuan. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
Huo Li looked at his little grandson. What was wrong with his elder brother buying a refrigerator? He knew that his grandson had made tens of thousands of dollars selling medicinal herbs recently.
What's more, buying a refrigerator is not a difficult thing for a family like theirs. Before, he thought that everyone should save more money. Now that he knows that his eldest grandson is rich, he has come to terms with it.
People should enjoy life while they can. They don't steal or rob. If possible, he hopes to add a TV to his home this year so that there will be more fun.
Of the generals who fought alongside him, none of them had a television at home. He had previously been reluctant to buy one, saving the money to leave for his children and grandchildren.
Now that his eldest grandson is so successful, he no longer worries about them. He might as well buy them a TV for the New Year this year!
Thinking of this, Huo Li said, "Let's buy a refrigerator next summer and a TV this New Year."
"Ah~!" Huo Qinghuan stood up in surprise again.
Huo Junshan pulled him down and said, "Eat your meal properly. It's not nice to be so startled."
"Dad, Grandpa said we should buy a TV. There aren't many TVs in the entire military compound, right?"
Huo Li said unhappily, "I've saved my salary for so many years and am planning to split up this New Year. What's wrong with buying a TV?"
Huo Qingci smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'll buy the TV. I'll ask my friend if he has any TV tickets. If he does, I'll buy them when I get back to the city in a few days."
Lin Man nodded in agreement. "Grandpa wants to liven things up a bit, so let's buy a TV for the New Year and move back here after the New Year."
Xiao Ya and Huo Junshan looked at each other. When did their father become so generous? He used to save every penny, but now he just wants to buy a TV.
And the eldest brother just said that he would buy a refrigerator next summer. How come they have become so generous? Could it be that the old man took out the gold in the cellar to cash it in?
Or did the old man give their eldest son some money in advance? It seems that this is really possible, otherwise how could their eldest son be so confident.
Xiao Ya and Huo Junshan smiled knowingly. They would not stop the old man from giving the money to anyone he wanted. Anyway, the money in their hands would be divided equally among everyone in the future.
Before, the eldest brother gave 500 yuan to Zhou Ping as a betrothal gift on behalf of Lin Man, and later gave her another 800 yuan, which was 300 yuan more than Ling Fei.

Of course, Ling Fei didn’t know about this, and neither did the second brother Huo Qingyan. If they knew, they would definitely make a fuss.
After dinner, Lin Man sat down and told Xiao Ya about her dispute with the Lin family.
"Mom, Lin Hun came to see me today, and I went to the hospital with him to get a blood test."
"What's the blood test for?"
"I'm not the child Ye Yunchu gave birth to. Lin Hun recognized the wrong person a few years ago. His father and mother don't have the same blood type as me. His father is type O, his mother is type B, and I am type A."
As soon as Lin Man finished speaking, Xiao Ya and Huo Junshan were very happy. Xiao Ya smiled and said, "Man Man, I didn't expect that you really are not their child. That's great.
The Lin and Ye families are in a lot of trouble. Luckily, you didn't bother with them. I need to tell the people in the compound about this matter to prevent them from spreading rumors."
Huo Li interrupted, "Let the investigators handle this. You should only explain when others ask you. If you take the initiative to explain, they will think you are guilty."
Huo Qingci said, "Grandpa, the investigators came over at 11 o'clock. I told them about this matter and asked someone to issue a blood test certificate for them to see. They also believed that the Lin family had identified the wrong person.
They were investigating Ye Yunchu's affair, but she refused to admit it and said she was deliberately trying to anger Manman.
Xiao Ya looked at Huo Qingci in surprise, "Son, that woman is going back on her word again?"
"Well, she was afraid of getting caught, so she changed her story. Although no one believed her, there was no evidence.
Besides, it's been so many years since the incident, so the proof is probably long gone, unless she's involved with that man again and her family reports her."
This woman, Ye Yunchu, is like an indestructible cockroach. She is disgusting just by looking at her. In order to prove her existence, she always likes to make trouble.
Lin Man thought that if she dared to dance in front of her again, she would give her paralyzing drugs and make her lie in bed for the rest of her life.
Huo Junshan suddenly thought of something and said, "Xiao Man, since you are not a member of the Lin family, you don't need to associate with them in the future. And as for Liao Sijie, you should also have less contact with them."
After Huo Junshan finished speaking, he glanced at his wife again. Seeing that her expression was normal, he continued, "We all thought Sijie looked honest and decent, but that's not the case..."
Huo Qingci asked, "Dad, did she say bad things about us behind our backs?"
"That wasn't said directly, but..."
Huo Qingci asked impatiently, "But what?"
"Didn't Ye Yunchu curse Xiao Man with those two words before? Si Jie was unsure of anything and directly said that Xiao Man was her man's half-sister. What she meant was that Xiao Man was..."
Huo Junshan couldn't even utter the word "bastard". Before the truth came out, Liao Sijie had already labeled his eldest daughter-in-law a bastard.
He felt that Liao Sijie had bad intentions. He had not cared much about his sister-in-law's daughter before. If it had not involved his eldest daughter-in-law, he would not have said this.
He could naturally tell who was his relative, his daughter-in-law's niece or his eldest daughter-in-law. After thinking about it, he decided to remind them so that she wouldn't use them as a springboard someday.
Lin Man and Huo Qingci fell silent at the same time. Huo Li sighed, "I really didn't realize that child is such a thoughtful person. When she helped take care of the children before, she seemed diligent and not nosy. I didn't expect she was such a person.
If she wants to find a job in the future, don't come to me and ask for it. Even if there is a job, I won't introduce it to her."
After Huo Li finished speaking, he also looked at his daughter-in-law. Xiao Ya raised her eyes and nodded, "Dad, Si Jie is a little cunning. Since she has used Qingyan as a springboard to marry Lin Jing, let her walk her own path in the future.
It's not a big deal. Junshan and I won't do anything unless my sister comes to me begging for mercy. I can still tell the difference between relatives and strangers."
