"Dad, why are you yelling?" Lin Xiangyi came down from upstairs and said unhappily, "We went to the city today and just came back. They helped me move my things in. They haven't even had a sip of water yet. You're so anxious to drive them away. Is that reasonable?"
Lin Shan was scolded by Lin Xiangyi, and he felt a little embarrassed. Why is the little girl helping outsiders to speak about her own father? She hasn't even married yet, and she's already helping outsiders to speak.
Why did you go all the way to the city? You didn't mind the hassle even when you were pregnant.
He glared at Lin Xiangyi, then turned to Xie Qingxiao and said, "Then why are you still standing there? Go in and have a drink of water and then go back quickly. You've been out for a whole day, and I guess your parents miss you too."
What kind of lame excuse is this? Lin Xiangyi also glared at her father.
"Dad, don't worry. I want to keep him for dinner." She turned to Xie Qingxiao and said, "Qingxiao, do you want to stay for dinner tonight?"
Xie Qingxiao: “…” Only in front of her father would she call him so intimately.
He wanted to stay for dinner, but facing the angry look from his future father-in-law, he said, "Next time. Uncle Lin is right. My parents don't know that I went to the city today. They haven't seen me come home for so long. They must be worried."
Anyway, the wife will be his in a few days, so he should be nice to his father-in-law now.
Lin Shan was immediately satisfied.
Lin Xiangyi: “…” You are really cooperative.
She walked him out the door, and he started his bike before she turned back into the house.
In the main room, Chen Fengmei was taking every opportunity to complain, of course, in the form of a small talk: "The supply and marketing cooperative in the county town has a complete range of goods, why did this young couple go to the city?"
Lin Shan also felt that there was no need to go to the city, but after hearing what Chen Fengmei said, he subconsciously explained for Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi: "No matter how complete the goods in the supply and marketing cooperative are, they can't have as complete goods as the department store in the city. They just go there if they don't mind the trouble."
"But it's expensive!" Chen Fengmei glanced at the door, leaned closer to Lin Shan and said in a low voice:
"They just came back with lots of bags. I took a look and saw that they didn't buy many useful things, but they did have a lot of clothes and shoes. Why did they buy so many clothes? Can they be eaten as food?"
"The clothes and shoes look expensive. There is a pair of pants inside. The daughter of Director Liu, the one who was admitted to university and went to Guangdong Province, also wore the same style of pants when she came back from the Chinese New Year. I heard they were called what? Yes, jeans! I specially asked about it and they cost 23 yuan!"
Lin Shan spit out a mouthful of tea, "How much?"
"Twenty-three yuan!" Chen Fengmei said worriedly, "Isn't it expensive? I think it's expensive too! Are those pants made of gold? They're so expensive! Your monthly salary is only forty-five yuan, and it takes half a month's salary to buy a pair of pants. Oh my, how can ordinary people like us afford it?"
"Xiang Yi bought more than one. I don't know how much it cost..."
Lin Shan frowned deeply.
Chen Fengmei looked at his face and continued to exaggerate: "But you can't blame Xiangyi. She doesn't know how expensive food and fuel are if she doesn't manage the household. People like Huihui who have a job don't dare to spend money so lavishly. Last time she bought a two-dollar garment, and she kept saying it was too expensive when she came back. She wanted to return it, but I persuaded her not to do so."
Lin Shan's expression became more and more ugly. When Lin Xiangyi came in, he waved to her with a stern face: "Come here!"
Lin Xiangyi knew something was wrong as soon as she saw her father's face. She glanced at Chen Fengmei and saw that she was secretly giving her a triumphant smile.
Lin Xiangyi snorted, "Dad, I wonder what bad things my stepmother has said about me? Are you going to scold me? After scolding me, are you going to punish me by not allowing me to eat dinner or making me stand in the corner? Or making me do all the housework for the next month?"
Lin Shan did not beat her, but punishment was inevitable.
Standing in the corner, kneeling as punishment, not allowing meals and doing all the housework were the methods he often used.
Lin Shan, who was full of doubts about how he could have given birth to such an ignorant and rebellious daughter, was suddenly awakened by the sound of Lin Xiangyi, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over his head.
Why was he taken away by Chen Fengmei again?
Yesterday, Chen Fengmei tore off her years of disguise after he proposed to give all the dowry originally intended for Lin Huihui to Lin Xiangyi, and he slammed the door and left.
He realized that Chen Fengmei was not as nicer to Lin Xiangyi than to Lin Huihui as she appeared to be, and she couldn't even treat them equally!
Today he had been observing Chen Fengmei, wanting to see if this was the case, but he didn't expect that she would lead him away with just a few words.
Lin Shan's heart was beating fast and his brows were slightly gloomy.
Chen Fengmei noticed Lin Shan's eyes, her expression became a little unnatural, and she muttered to herself.
Could it be that this damn old man realized that she was deliberately trying to sow discord?
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to scold you or punish you?" Lin Shan felt guilty when he saw Lin Xiangyi's half-smile. He quickly straightened his face and said, "I just want to ask you, what did you buy in the city with the kid from the Xie family today?"
"That's a lot, clothes, shoes, skirts, and a lot of thermos, toothpaste, tooth powder, vanishing cream, thermos..." Lin Xiangyi didn't mean to hide it, and finally said: "By the way, Dad, I also bought you a piece of clothing."
Lin Shan was about to ask her how much those clothes and shoes cost, but when he heard that Lin Xiangyi also bought him clothes, his attention was instantly diverted, and he asked in surprise: "You bought me clothes? What clothes?"
"Wait a minute, I'll get it down," Lin Xiangyi turned around and ran upstairs.
Lin Shan was terrified: "Don't run, walk slowly, the clothes won't run away!"
The little girl ran so fast, could she have lied to him about her pregnancy?
Chen Fengmei: “…” Since when did Lin Shan, who is always irritable, actually start to care about others?
"Look, this is the vest," Lin Xiangyi came down from upstairs and compared the vest with Lin Shan.
Lin Shan didn't expect Lin Xiangyi to really buy him a piece of clothing. He was so happy that his mouth was almost stretched to the back of his ears. He asked happily: "How is it? Does it look good?"
"Of course it looks good," Lin Xiangyi said, "I saw it and I thought it suits you very well, so I bought it right away!"
“Hahahahaha!” Lin Shan laughed heartily: “I think it suits me pretty well. How much is it?”
"Six dollars," Lin Xiangyi said, actually it was three dollars.
"Oh, it's so expensive?" Chen Fengmei finally found an opportunity to interrupt and said in surprise: "Lao Lin, don't you have several vests of this style? Some of them I bought for you and some I made for you. The ready-made clothes cost only one dollar at most. There is no difference in appearance. Why is it so much more expensive?"
