Chapter 24: Black-hearted
The stars blink.
The moon is crescent.
Xiao Linxia was lying on the bed muttering, "Third sister, you still thought about me when you came to the city. I don't ask for much, just a hair ornament, a headband, anything is fine."
Although the little girl loves to play, she is not really stupid.
Today I chased after Wang Lanfeng and asked her if anything happened at home.
When Wang Lanfeng ignored her, she sat on the ground and played. They were no longer a family.
When Lin Qing came back, she hugged the little girl and told her.
After hearing this, Lin Xia promised not to tell anyone about it.
Don't be fooled by this girl's playful behavior, she is very cunning.
Otherwise, Zhao Huizhou would not have deceived her into taking her away, causing Zhang Hong a lot of trouble.
It's just too tender.
I haven't played with those two.
Among the four sisters in the Lin family, Lin Xia is closest to Lin Qing, followed by the eldest sister, and finally the second sister.
So, when Guan Linqing asked for something, she was very clear about it.
Lin Qing tapped the little girl's head and said, "If I, your sister, go there, I may not be able to eat enough. I might even go hungry."
"If you're not full, don't buy me any food. Write to me and I'll go up the mountain to collect herbs to earn money. I'll ask dad to remit the money to you when the time comes." The little girl was very serious and patted Lin Qing to comfort her. "Don't be afraid, sister. You still have me. I can't let you starve."
Lin Qing laughed.
Now that you said so, as your sister, I have to express my opinion.
Then, he discussed with the little girl how much money to remit every month.
Five dollars, a little too little, not worth remitting.
What? Add another fifty cents?
Well, I don’t feel like there’s anything extra.
Then add another fifty cents?
Are you just going to add 50 cents? How about trying adding them piece by piece?
Xiao Linxia pursed her lips and squinted her eyes, "Third sister, you have changed."
Became black-hearted.
As dark as the old landlords.
You are treating me like a laborer! ! !
Lin Qing giggled, and her mood improved. She took out all the remaining hair flowers and gave them to her.
Pi Yatou also loves beauty. She was so fond of the hair flower that she put it all over her head before she even warmed it up. She also asked Lin Qing if it looked good.
Lin Qing pursed her lips and nodded. It looked beautiful.
Oh my god.
I really want to laugh.
At the same time, Zhao Huiyan was also gesturing with a hair ornament on her head.
I've been forced to work these days and I feel like I've gotten tanned again. No matter what hair ornament I wear now, I'll look ugly.
“Pah.”
The mirror hit the table and broke into two pieces.
Old Lady Zhao beat her with a pained look on her face, "You're going to die."
"Mom, it's so cheap that little girl approved it."
Zhao Huiyan was extremely angry. If it weren't for Lin Qing, she wouldn't have to go to work for the past two days.
And the hair flowers his brother sent to Lin Qing should have been hers.
His brother doesn't want her anymore, so why shouldn't he return her to him?
It's more than just the hair flower. Mrs. Zhao always felt that her son must have given Lin Qing money in private.
What is the main purpose of breaking off an engagement?
It's just about returning these things and the money.
Old Mrs. Zhao has been vomiting these days. "You don't have to go to work tomorrow. Keep watching that girl. If she dares to go out, we will go and take care of her."
Mrs. Zhao had thought of this a long time ago, but she was being watched by the team leader these two days and couldn't implement it.
The longer you hold it in, the more evil the fire will become.

Captain's House,
The captain's wife was thinking, "From what Lin Sanya said, it seems that Zhao Huizhou has really changed his mind. Does he really have someone in the team?"
Some people in the village had said some sour things before, saying that Lin Qing and Zhao Huizhou’s marriage was worth waiting for.
There is an art troupe in the army. I heard that all the girls in the troupe are very pretty. The boy from the Zhao family has been dragging his feet on getting married. Maybe he has fallen in love with the female soldiers in the art troupe.
That being said, no one took it too seriously.
There are many soldiers who go out to the countryside, but very few of them regret their engagement.
But now think about it again, don’t be too sure.
Late at night, the captain stared at the dark beams and pondered over this matter, "If he really thinks he is Chen Shimei, we will enforce justice on his behalf."
"You're so far away from here, what can you do?" The captain's wife knew that her husband was not venting his anger for the Lin family, but wanted to suppress the momentum of the Zhao family.
In fact, I was also hoping that there really was someone on Zhao Huizhou's side.
The key point now is that they can’t control it even if they want to.
"What do women know? If Zhao Huizhou has someone outside, it's a violation of discipline. As the village leader, I will write a letter of denunciation to his superiors, and he will have to go back to work as a peasant."
Lin Feng is not as ignorant as Mrs. Zhao and Old Man Zhao.
I don’t know the depth of this.
I'll have some trouble with the Lin family for a while.
After a while, they fought with the Cui family again.
The more they struggle, the more obvious the trick becomes.
My son already has someone else outside, but he didn't even come to break off the engagement quietly, causing a lot of trouble in the village and ruining his reputation.
This is not intended to give people a handle.
The captain's wife didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, "Oh, is this serious?"
"Just wait and see."

A hospital in Shenyang.
Grandma Cheng is sick and everything she sees is red.
The old man's eyes were frighteningly red. The doctor said it was caused by getting a fever, and considering his old age, it would be best for him to be hospitalized for treatment.
As soon as the old man was hospitalized, his eyes became even redder.
Every time the nurse came to deliver medicine, she would comfort her and tell her not to get so angry, saying that in the hospital she could not only recuperate but also have meals for patients, which was so great.
Grandma Cheng:.......
Am I the one who needs those two sick meals?
I am the grandson's wife.
Girl, have you decided on someone?
...
Anyone who knows the old lady well can guess what’s bothering her.
When Aunt Cheng's friend Bai Wenxiu found out, she felt a little guilty. If it weren't for what happened last time, the old lady probably wouldn't have gotten so angry.
So, I specially brought a net bag of apples to see Grandma Cheng.
Grandma Cheng was groaning on the hospital bed.
Chest tightness, discomfort, and unhappy life.
Bai Wenxiu smiled as she walked into the ward, "Auntie, if I introduce another girl to Xiao Luo, would you still feel bad?"
That definitely wouldn't be painful. Grandma Cheng's eyes sparkled as she stared at people closely, "Xiao Bai, do you have a daughter again?"
Bai Wenxiu: ...That sounds weird.
"Auntie, a relative just happened to ask me to find a husband for their daughter."
"It's just that my relative is from the countryside. Do you think it's okay?"
From the countryside? Grandma Cheng never looked down on farmers. If her son wanted to marry a country girl, she would not stop him. But she always felt that her eldest grandson was being wronged.
This child had a miserable life. His father and mother died on the battlefield without even spending a single day with him.
She can still remember that after Xiao Luo came back from the battlefield, he locked himself in the house for three days and three nights.
When he comes out again, he's like an unwanted wild kitten.
It makes people feel heartbroken.
In a blink of an eye, Xiao Luo is already twenty-six years old.
We can't delay any longer.
"It doesn't matter in the countryside. As long as she's a good girl and can live a good life with my eldest grandson, that's enough."
Bai Wenxiu was relieved after hearing the old lady's words, "Auntie, I watched that girl grow up, and she looks no worse than the girls in the city."
"People can be diligent too."
When Grandma Cheng heard this, she smiled and said, "That's good."
"I think it's suitable too. Xiao Luo will return to the army after further studies, so it won't be a big difference for her to accompany him. If he really marries a girl from the city, she may not be willing."
Who knows, there might be more trouble.
What is life like without a wife?
What is life like with a wife?
Bai Wenxiu analyzed the whole situation to Grandma Cheng.
Grandma Cheng's thoughts became more clear.
People are also much more open-minded.
Not only will the city kids lose their current jobs, but they will also have to accompany Xiao Luo to such a faraway place to endure hardships.
Not everyone can bear it.
Country kids are tough, and life can be fulfilled if two people work together.
Grandma Cheng wanted the marriage to be settled immediately, "When can we meet?"
"This time, let's let Xiao Luo go to the girl's house."
