Chapter 007 The thief

Lin Siwei didn’t expect that Lin Jiale would be the first to go home.

As soon as she finished framing Aunt Feng's yarn, she saw the Lin family's courtyard door open. She didn't have a watch either, so she didn't know the time. She thought it was Lin Zhengqing who was back, so she ran home happily.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jiale's eyes fell on her feet as soon as she entered the door: "Where did your shoes come from?"

"Grandma Gu's gave them to me."

"No way!" Lin Jiale said firmly.

Lin Siwei said: "Grandma saw that my shoes were torn and the toes were exposed. She said these shoes were something that Sister Xiaolan wouldn't wear, so she gave them to me."

Lin Jiale asked for leave and went home early because he had a headache. When he heard this , my head hurt even more, and my heart hurt from the fire.

"Who are you? Are you called grandma? Are you called sister Xiaolan? These shoes were brought back by Uncle Gu from abroad. Sister Xiaolan's heart treasure, will they be given to you?"

But no matter how much I say, Zhang Xiuqin gave Gu Lan's cherished treasure to Lin Siwei.

And every word Lin Jiale said showed how much she cared about these shoes and the people of the Gu family. Although Lin Siwei has only been here for a day, he feels like he has seen part of Lin Jiale's growth trajectory.

Lin Siwei didn't get angry and asked stupidly: "How do you know so clearly?"

"Oh, what is the relationship between Uncle Gu's family and our family? What do you know? We grew up with sister Xiaolan, and she disliked the small clothes. No one else would give them to me, so I gave them to us. These shoes were worn by Sister Xiaolan when she participated in the city's art performance. Even if she wanted to give them away, she would only give them to me. How could she give them to you?

" Lin Siwei was almost amused by his conclusive reasoning.

When it comes to "growing up with sister Xiaolan", Lin Jiale really dares to put gold on his face. Gu Qiadu has been in the army for two years, so he must be twenty, and his sister must be twenty-one or two. They are several years apart from the twins, so they can't play together at all.

But she also heard some clues. The Lin family and the Gu family may indeed have a good relationship, and the twins are good-looking. This kind of little girl is easy to attract people. When the Gu family has old clothes, they first think of the twin sisters. This is human nature. After all, supplies are scarce these days, and it is common for children to give away clothes that are too small for them. Not only do they not feel inappropriate, but they actually show their closeness.

Lin Jiale must have been coveting these red leather shoes for a long time. He may have fantasized about how beautiful he would look in red leather shoes countless times. Today, he saw the red leather shoes fall on the feet of Lin Siwei, a country bumpkin. It was normal for him to tremble with anger.

Seeing that Lin Jiale was so angry that she was clenching her fists, Lin Siwei wanted to stimulate her further: "Maybe because I played chess with Grandpa Gu and helped Grandma Gu peel edamame, Grandma thinks I am a good boy." "

You haven't even graduated from junior high school. What a good boy you are! You are just a second-rate person!" Lin Jiale said without restraint.

"I graduated." Lin Siwei said calmly.

"You didn't graduate!"

"I can show you the certificate. I have many certificates, my parents' marriage certificate, divorce certificate, my birth certificate..."

She came again.

She has a way of making people angry.

"Who wants to see your certificate! Having a certificate is great, I have a student ID card!"

When Lin Jiale was so angry that he screamed, Lin Zhengqing finally came back, and the scene where Lin Jiale complained happened.

How could a man like Lin Zhengqing guess the thoughts of a girl like Lin Jiale? Moreover, his conversation in the bureau went smoothly today. If nothing else goes wrong, he will be able to issue a transfer order in the next two days and be successfully promoted to the principal. This is the time of success. He only thinks that the leather shoes are very nice. If Lin Jiale likes them, he can just buy a pair. Why is he so angry about them?

In order to calm Lin Jiale's anger, he asked Lin Siwei: "Why are you wearing Gu Lan's shoes? Where did they come from?"

Lin Siwei still had a harmless expression: "Grandma Gu's saw that my shoes were torn, so she went upstairs to find a pair from Xiaolan. Give me the shoes you're not wearing, just these."

Lin Zhengqing's heart moved, remembering what the neighbors said on the way home today.

"You went to the Gu family?"

"Well, I played chess with Grandpa Gu, and I also helped Grandma Gu with some work."

"You can also play chess?" Lin Zhengqing muttered.

Lin Jiale didn't care about this. All she cared about was the leather shoes: "Dad, she must be lying. How could Grandma Gu give her shoes? These shoes are very expensive and cannot be bought."

Lin Zhengqing said with a big head: "Hey, she can't Put on your feet."

The implication is forget it, why worry about this.

Lin Jiale refused and shouted: "She must have stolen it! She pretended to go to the Gu family to help and steal other people's valuable things! She is a country thief!"

These words angered Lin Siwei.

If you lose your child's temper, Lin Siwei won't argue with you, but "country thief", this is a proper personal attack.

Don't want to give you face?

Lin Siwei's face fell, his acting skills got better, and he kicked him out: "I didn't steal. If you don't believe me, look, I'm not a thief."

This kick directly hit Lin Jiale's face, scaring Lin Jiale into screaming and stretching out his hand. Then he pushed Lin Siwei out.

Lin Siwei took advantage of the situation and sat down on the ground, crying.

The old lady is not so fluent when it comes to porcelain.

"I'm not a thief, wuwuwu... the shoes were given to me by grandma, I didn't steal them, wuwuwu..."

Lin Siwei cried while waiting for people outside the courtyard to join the fight.

She had already caught a glimpse of someone coming outside the door. The person wearing colorful clothes was Zhang Xiuqin.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiuqin's loud voice came from outside the door: "Xiao Lin, what's the noise at your house?"

When Lin Zhengqing saw that Zhang Xiuqin, the real owner, had been provoked, his expression suddenly changed.

When it comes to who else he cares about in Fishbone Alley, these two old guys from the Gu family must be among the top three. Why do the Lin family and the Gu family have such a close relationship? Isn't it because Gu Nianshen has influence in the city?

And according to Lin Zhengqing's news, Gu Nianshen is likely to have a new appointment recently. For this reason, Lin Zhengqing feels that he is not close enough to the Gu family and could be closer.

If the twins weren't still young, he would have wished for the unbreakable "closeness" of his in-laws.

At this juncture, you must not offend the Gu family.

Lin Zhengqing immediately leaned over and helped Lin Siwei up: "Did it hurt if you fell? Why are you so careless? You are so careless."

Then he said to Zhang Xiuqin: "The kid is making trouble, it's just a trivial matter."

Then he shouted to Lin Jiale: "Come into the house and do your homework, don't yell here."

Lin Jiale didn't understand what her father meant at all. She only knew that the grandma of the Gu family was here, that is, the owner had appeared.

So he shouted again: "Grandma, this person stole sister Xiaolan's leather shoes."

But Zhang Xiuqin's face was solemn: "I gave the leather shoes to this girl, she didn't steal them."

Lin Jiale was dumbfounded, how could this be possible?

"Why should you give her shoes? It's not like she has no shoes to wear."

Zhang Xiuqin said: "Her shoes are in such a bad state, four of the five toes are exposed. In the entire Fishbone Alley, even the most miserable people will not know how to do it." Let the child dress like this."

Lin Jiale was dissatisfied: "She is from the country, and country people can only dress in rags!"

"Shut up!" Lin Zhengqing shouted.

I really didn't expect that my precious daughter would say such unflattering words. Even if you have this idea in your heart, you can't say it in front of outsiders, especially the old people of the Gu family.

Everyone knows that before they joined the revolution, Gu Mingde and Zhang Xiuqin were authentic country folk.

As expected, Zhang Xiuqin's face turned even more ugly: "Then grandma should also be wearing rags? Grandma is also from the countryside."

Lin Jiale panicked. She only knew that the grandparents of the Gu family were well-respected old revolutionaries, and later they also They are all cadres, how can they be from the countryside?

"Grandma, you...you are different, you are from the city now." She tried to explain.

Zhang Xiuqin said sternly: "You are a city person and a country person. For several generations, your ancestors have been farming. Lele, grandma has watched you grow up, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant. I heard it outside just now, Your sister has been explaining to you, but you are so arrogant and saying hurtful things. Who taught you this?"

Although his butt and buttocks still hurt a little, Lin Siwei almost burst out laughing.

Unexpectedly, the Lin family blocked the green window with bricks. It did block the sight of outsiders, but it also blocked their own.

Blockades always work both ways.

Hearing Zhang Xiuqin criticizing himself, Lin Jiale couldn't keep his face and cried loudly: "But she wanted to kick me, she is so savage!"

Lin Siwei immediately said timidly: "I just want to show you these leather shoes ..."

After hearing this, Lin Zhengqing was a little confused.

He was also present when Lin Siwei raised his foot just now. To be honest, it was a bit reckless, but it didn't look like kicking someone. It looked more like Lin Jiale was overreacting.

Moreover, Zhang Xiuqin's words, "It's all taught to you by getting the certificate" made Lin Zhengqing feel shuddering in his heart. If the impression that this family has a bad tradition spreads, it will not be good for him or the children.

Lin Zhengqing showed his father's dignity and said: "Okay, the little girl is so small-minded, apologize to grandma quickly."

Lin Jiale was unwilling to apologize, so he ran back to the house crying. This time I really had a headache.

Zhang Xiuqin glanced at Lin Siwei and saw that she was standing timidly beside her. She was really thin and pitiful. Thinking of her tragic life experience, Zhang Xiuqin felt that a pair of red leather shoes were too light.

I should have known I should have given me another set of clothes!

She felt that as a respected senior in Fishbone Lane, she needed to give Lin Zhengqing a warning.

"Xiao Lin, don't think I'm talkative. Your current situation is also caused by historical reasons. Since it happened, you have to deal with it properly. Yuxiu and Huanlele will definitely feel aggrieved. This is understandable. I have to rely on you to do the work. In short, you can’t wrong the child. It’s so hard, right?”

“

It’s a small thing for me to give you a pair of shoes, but a pair of shoes will give the child a reputation as a thief. That goes against my original intention.

Besides , even though Siwei is a new child, what good will it do to you if the Lin family's children have a bad reputation

? Don't be too used to it. It's too painful to shrink back, and it's too used to shouting and being unreasonable. "

What

else can Lin Zhengqing say besides "yes, yes"?

At this moment, he just wanted to go back to the house and scold Lin Jiale. If something embarrassing affects your father's future, you will be a sinner forever!
