Chapter 106: Don't Accept Your Fate
Aunt Lin looked at Mrs. Xu eagerly, with full of hope.
Seeing that she was no longer keeping the secret, Mrs. Xu
"A grandfather and grandson live in the backyard. I heard that their whole family died at the hands of the Japanese, leaving only them. Old Madam Yue felt sorry for them, so she rented the entire backyard to them."
"How many rooms can they live in? If we take good care of it, we can separate a room for others to live in. Then we can get a coal stove and cook."
The backyard has its own door, and the grandfather and grandson always go through that door. Lin Qing has never seen the grandfather and grandson in all the times she has been here.
Aunt Lin was moved by what she heard, and when she looked at Aunt Xu, she became much more enthusiastic.
"Girl, how much does it cost to rent a room?"
Mrs. Xu estimated, "Eight dollars a month is enough, just for one room."
In the countryside, one dollar is a lot of money, but in the city, it is nothing.
Lin Ergu calculated Cui Cuihua's salary and found that it was enough to support herself even if she rented a house.
So he eagerly pulled Mrs. Xu aside to talk, hoping that she could help him make the connection through her words.
I'm afraid if I go there alone, people will ask for more money once they hear my foreign accent.
Mrs. Xu laughed and said, "Okay, I think you are quite pitiful, I will take you to discuss it with the old man."
When Aunt Lin heard this, her face was filled with joy and she followed Aunt Xu to the backyard. Cui Cuihua didn't have the courage to stay alone with Lin Qing anymore, so when she saw her mother get up and leave, she hurriedly followed.
Lin Qing continued to sit in the yard basking in the sun.
He looked like he didn't care about anything.
Mrs. Xu discussed the matter of sharing the house with the old man in the backyard, and it went surprisingly smoothly.
Lin Ergu's heart finally settled down. She had been very depressed by Lin Qing just now and she almost wanted to cry.
At her old age, she moved from the south to the northeast.
Day after day, I feel aimless.
I have to beg the younger generation with a flattering face. I have never felt so aggrieved in my life.
Before she could cry, Auntie Xu pulled Auntie Lin aside and said, "Auntie, let me tell you the truth. Xiaoqing informed me early in the morning and asked me to help you two find a house."
"What?" Aunt Lin widened her eyes, unable to react.
"Aunt, I have to advise you now. As women, we should be more considerate of each other. Xiaoqing's mother can't give birth to a son. That's the fate of the couple. You can't blame the women entirely."
Aunt Lin: "......"
"You almost forced their mother to hang herself. How could the two children not hate you?"
"......"
"I heard that Cuihua was rejected by her husband in the countryside and had to come here to live with her relatives?"
Cui Cuihua: “…”
"Hey, the two young ladies of the Lin family are soft-hearted and miss this cousin, but if they take Cuihua in, how can they face their mother? I think it's best this way. Cuihua lives in the backyard, and they can take care of each other." After Mrs. Xu finished her babble, she advised, "Aunt, go back and be nice to your sister-in-law. This is not to give face to the monk, but to give face to the Buddha. These two children are still very sentimental."
Lin Ergu really didn't know what to say now.
A heart is extremely complicated.
I can't even describe how it feels.
The mother and daughter came with their luggage this time. As long as they clean up the house, it will be no problem for them to stay there for a simple stay.
Mrs. Xu said everything she needed to say and then left. She wasn't that kind-hearted to do a job for others.
He turned back to the front yard and asked Lin Qing for credit, "What do you think of my move?"
Lin Qing nodded, "Very impressive."
Mrs. Xu looked very proud.
Lin Qing knew early in the morning that Lin Ergu would come back to see her and her sisters.
No matter how useless Zhang Hong is, it is impossible for her to let the mother and daughter live in her home. In all likelihood, she will still push them to her place.
So Lin Qing had been thinking about this matter from the beginning. She had revealed it to Mrs. Xu before, and later on, two poor relatives might come to seek refuge with her.
Mrs. Xu seemed quite happy at first, as if she was going to enjoy the fun. But when she heard that the person who came to her was an unmarried girl, her alarm bells went off.
That won't work.
absolute,
cannot,
Let people live in.
That's why today's drama happened. First, let Lin Ergu despair, and then someone comes out to pretend to be a good person, with one cold and one hot hand, and finally tricks Lin Ergu into renting a house in the backyard herself.
When taking out the money, Lin Ergu didn't hesitate at all, instead she felt relieved.
Lin Qing dared to say that if she took Lin Ergu to rent a house, Lin Ergu might be in trouble.
As for whether I will take care of Cui Cuihua in the future, haha.
She never claimed to be a good person.
She is not a bad person and is very moral.
...
Lin Qing knew that the mother and daughter would probably come over for dinner.
So he took the initiative and said, "Second Aunt, cook."
Aunt Lin had been cleaning the house all afternoon and had just taken a break...
While Aunt Lin was cooking, Lin Qing watched from the side.
"Second aunt, my sister and I still suffered a loss."
Aunt Lin: “…” She was so tired that she couldn’t speak.
Lin Qing: "We should have gone to your house for more meals. But it doesn't matter. When I go back before the New Year, you can bring me two chickens and we'll be even."
Aunt Lin's eyelids twitched. "You're going back before the New Year?"
"Well, go back and tell my dad that I'm going to bring my partner home before the New Year."
Aunt Lin: "How is your boyfriend? Is he good to you?"
"Okay, you are so fascinated by me." Lin Qing showed off. "It is said that what belongs to you is yours. I am dealing with officials' families all the time. Second aunt, are you angry?"
gas.
It's so infuriating.
Aunt Lin rolled her eyes in annoyance. She originally wanted to say something to Lin Qing, but now, she didn't want to say a word.
Lin Qing was talking on the side.
"Second aunt, are you going to rob it again this time?"
"Second aunt, please say something. Why aren't you talking?"
"Are you born not to talk?"
"By the way, Second Aunt, when are you going back home? Bring some food back to my parents. The rice in the north is delicious and chewy, but it doesn't nourish the stomach if you keep eating it."
"Second aunt, I'm telling you, you can't keep it secret. Your daughter is in my hands. If I knew, I would harm Cui Cuihua."
Aunt Lin wanted to smash the bowl and decided not to eat the meal.
When the eldest sister came back with Yangyang and Tiantian, she was quite surprised to see the devastated look on Second Aunt's face. In just one afternoon, it seemed that Second Aunt had aged a lot.
Looking at Cui Cuihua again, there was no change. She looked as if she was in a trance and no one knew what she was thinking.
Lin Ergu had another free meal, but she was not happy.
Feeling exhausted, he took Cui Cuihua back to the backyard, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he lay down on the kang.
In the dark room, Lin Ergu's hoarse voice rang out.
"Cuihua."
"Mom thought about it, what Zhang Hong said today was meant to harm us. You should not have any other thoughts about Cheng or something like that. Lin Qing is prettier than you and she is more cunning. There is no way you can win over her. If you dare to compete with her again, she will definitely harm you."
"It's good enough now. People have to accept their fate."
Cui Cuihua opened her eyes and looked at the beams, then said "hmm" after a long time.
In the dark night, her eyes were frighteningly bright.
She won't fall into the same pit twice.
But she didn't accept her fate.
