Chapter 3 Chapter 3 What should I do if the Zhang family comes to propose marriage tomorrow?
The three younger sisters were the first to notice that Lin Chuntao had returned, and they ran over happily.
"Sister, you're back."
Lin Chuntao touched Lin Duoer's head and turned to introduce them to Pei Ying: "This is my youngest sister Lin Duoer, this is my third sister Lin Chunhe, and this is my second sister Lin Chunxing."
Pei Ying nodded slightly, and then Lin Chuntao said, "This is Pei Ying. He will be your brother-in-law from now on."
The three sisters were stunned when they heard the word "brother-in-law", but they still listened to Lin Chuntao and called him brother-in-law obediently.
Pei Ying responded gently.
Lin Chuntao and Lin Chunxing looked at each other and whispered, "It's solved."
Lin Chunxing nodded with a faint smile on her lips.
The sisters introduced themselves here, and everyone sitting in the yard could hear them clearly.
First, Lin Changhe rushed over, "Lin Chuntao, what did you just say, you silly girl?"
Lin Chuntao ignored him and continued to introduce Pei Ying, "This is Dad."
Pei Ying nodded slightly and called out, "Dad, my name is Pei Ying."
Lin Changhe held his forehead, his eyes widened, the veins in his temples bulging, "Get lost, who's your daddy?"
Lin Chuntao said with a smile: "Dad, it's your first time meeting your son-in-law, so be polite. You can't let him go. Our marriage certificate was signed by the government. Are you dissatisfied with the government's arrangement?"
Lin Changhe just felt like he was about to faint.
Hearing the marriage certificate was signed, Grandma Tian and Stepmother Qian also ran over and asked her in unison: "What marriage certificate are you talking about? Where did you find this wild man?"
"Grandma, what you said is really harsh. What do you mean by a wild man? Grandpa Muramasa saw my marriage certificate signed with his own eyes."
The old lady suddenly realized what was happening when she heard the word "Muramasa". She pointed at Lin Chuntao and asked in disbelief, "Is this the outsider? Did you ask Muramasa to bring him back?"
Lin Chuntao nodded: "Yes, grandma, you are so smart."
Everyone in the yard was stunned. Just as they were about to find a son-in-law for Lin Xian'er, Lin Chuntao took the lead and brought the man back.
Uncle Lin turned around and asked the old man, "Dad, Chuntao got it, but can Xian'er still get it?"
Old Man Lin thought about what Muramasa said and said that it was because the land was marked, so each household would only have one!
Seeing the old man silent, Uncle Lin's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was thinking of a solution, he saw Lin Xianer rushing out of the house and heading straight towards Lin Chuntao.
"Chun Tao, you bitch, you dare to steal my man? I will beat you to death!"
Lin Chuntao looked at Lin Xian'er rushing towards her and hurriedly said to her sister and Pei Ying, "Get out of the way."
Several people listened to her and hurriedly stepped back. Lin Xian'er rushed over and was grabbed by Lin Chuntao by the hair. Lin Xian'er inherited Tian's family background and was a little short. She was at a disadvantage when she was grabbed by Lin Chuntao.
Seeing her daughter being beaten, the old lady was anxious to take action. Lin Chuntao grabbed Lin Xianer's face and threatened the old lady: "Grandma, if you take another step forward, I will scratch her face! She will become an ugly monster in the future."
"Lin Chuntao, you bitch, let me go! Let me go!"
"ah!"
Lin Xian'er screamed and was pushed to the ground by Lin Chuntao. The old lady hurried to help her daughter.
Lin Chuntao said in a deep voice: "Auntie, this is not your man. My name is on the marriage certificate, and I brought him back."
On her way to the city today, Lin Xian'er was still fantasizing about marrying a son-in-law into her family. Her mother loved her, and she had the support of her four brothers, so her husband would definitely not dare to bully her.
Her good days were gone after she came back from a trip to the city.
"I don't care, mother! Go find Grandpa Muramasa. I don't want to get married!"
Lin Chuntao looked at her throwing a tantrum and chuckled, "Auntie, if you don't want to get married, then don't get married. No one is forcing you to get married."
Lin Xian'er glared at Lin Chuntao fiercely: "You told me not to get married, so why did you sneak out and get a man?"
Lin Chuntao originally wanted to say that it was because someone was forcing me to get married, but after thinking about it, she realized that this was not the point.
"I'm different from you. I don't have parents who love me."
In an instant, the whole yard was quiet.
Qian Dingxiang was almost furious. Twenty taels of silver, and the duck that was in her hand flew away!
Now Lin Chuntao was still playing the victim here. She snorted coldly, "It seems that this is all my fault. It's me, your stepmother, who treats you badly. I'm leaving!"
As she said this, she pretended to walk out. Lin Changhe hurried over and held her back.
"Where are you going while you're pregnant with my son? Come back soon."
As he pulled the person back, Lin Changhe glared at Lin Chuntao and scolded her, "Apologize to your mother!"
Lin Chuntao curled her lips, the sarcasm in her eyes was obvious, with a hint of disdain in her contempt.
Qian looked at Lin Chuntao like this. The marriage certificate had been signed and there was nothing she could do. But if the eldest son was gone, wasn't there still the second son?
An idea suddenly struck him, and he started to attack: "Lin Changhe, look at that look in her eyes? Does she look down on me?"
Lin Changhe hurriedly coaxed, "She doesn't dare."
Qian refused, "She doesn't dare? She doesn't even take you seriously!"
"In this family, either she or me, or me or her! You choose!"
Aunt Zhang quickly understood Qian's intention, "Third brother, your sister-in-law is pregnant. If you keep her with someone with bad intentions, something unexpected might happen one day. Since Chuntao is married, why don't you separate and live alone?"
Lin Chuntao was shocked. What kind of family members were these of the original owner?
She looked at Lin Chunxing, and her face turned pale when she heard her aunt-in-law say that she wanted to divide the family business.
Lin Chuntao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Qian had not mentioned the Zhang family coming to propose marriage tomorrow. It turned out that she wanted her to leave and let Lin Chunxing take over. What a good plan she had.
Are these sisters just tools for them to exchange money?
She is dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Period of her ancestors!
"Are you serious, auntie?"
Zhang naturally couldn't make the decision. She looked at Lin Changhe and Qian, hoping that they would speak.
Lin Changhe was a little confused. He didn't realize why they were talking about dividing the family. Lin Chuntao was good at cutting grass for pigs, feeding pigs and chickens, collecting firewood and digging the ground. How could this drive out the labor force?
Qian pinched him, and he came to his senses and immediately said, "Break up!"
Looking at her father like this, Lin Chuntao thought it was better to divorce. If Qian really gave birth to a child, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, she and her sisters would become babysitters. It was better to divorce sooner!
"I remember Madam Qian said before she came in that we sisters are all burdens. We can split up the family, but I have to take Chun Xing, Chun He and Duo Er with me."
"Aunt, if we divide the family property, what should you give me? Food, utensils, which room? We've been feeding those piglets with the grass they cut, so can you at least give us one or two?"
Lin Chuntao spoke softly, leaving Zhang speechless.
She just wanted to scold Lin Chuntao and tell her she was dreaming, but the division of the family was the business of the third house, and she was just adding fuel to the fire.
"Chun Tao, what are you talking about? It's not me who's dividing with you, it's your father who's dividing with you."
Lin Changhe looked at Qian: "Wife, you decide. What do you want to give her?"
Qian glared at Lin Changhe fiercely.
"Chun Tao, we split up just because you got married. Your sisters are still young, why should they be separated?"
Lin Chuntao shrugged slightly. "That won't work. Before she died, my mother held my hand and told me to take good care of my three sisters, especially if my father married a stepmother. As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. The ancients were right!"
"You can choose one of the two: they can follow me and split up the family, and have nothing to do with you in the future. Or I won't leave, and I will stay in this house. But Madam Qian, you have to be careful."
"you……"
Qian didn't expect Lin Chuntao to dare to threaten her, and she was shaking with anger.
Lin Changhe panicked when he heard this. This vicious girl Lin Chuntao wanted to harm his son. They must be separated!
Without waiting for Qian to speak, Lin Changhe said, "Okay! I promise you, you can take the three sisters with you. What else do you want?"
"Food, utensils, three chickens, and a piglet."
Lin Changhe was about to agree with a wave of his hand when Tian cursed, "You're dreaming! The chickens are mine, and the pigs are mine too. You're splitting up with your father, so what do you have? He's still living in my house!"
Hearing the old lady's words, Lin Chuntao smiled and said, "Dad, it seems you have nothing. Well, forget it, let's continue to live like this."
"When you have something to share with me, we'll divide it." As she said this, she led Pei Ying and her sisters into the house.
Lin Changhe swallowed and stayed where he was. He worked every day in this family, but had nothing?
After Lin Chuntao brought her people into the house, she went straight upstairs. The four sisters slept together, and now Pei Ying was one of the new sisters.
There seems to be no extra bedding or bed at home...
Lin Chuntao was feeling worried. Pei Ying took off his bag and said to her, "I'll sleep on the floor over there."
Looking at the corner of his finger, Lin Chuntao nodded: "I'm sorry, it was a bit sudden and I didn't prepare in advance. I'm sorry to trouble you. Can I lay some straw for you?"
"good."
Pei Ying didn't feel wronged. He had lived in the open air before, and now he had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Perhaps because the problem of Lin Chuntao not having to marry an old widower was solved, Lin Chunhe and Lin Duoer were very happy and happily hugged the straw. Chunxing felt a little sad. Lin Chuntao patted her on the back and said softly, "Don't worry."
After she finished speaking, she whispered something in Lin Chunxing's ear for a while. Lin Chunxing was a little skeptical: "Is it really possible?"
Lin Chuntao smiled and said, "You'll know after trying it."
After laying the straw, Lin Chuntao let down the rolled-up straw mat to separate Pei Ying's living space from theirs.
Everyone in the Lin family in the yard had different expressions.
"Speaking of which, how did Chuntao suddenly become so eloquent? Wasn't she pretty much speechless before?"
A word from the fourth son's wife, Yang Cuizhi, brought everyone back to their senses.
The youngest girl in the fifth room muttered, "Maybe this is what Dad always says, 'When a rabbit is cornered, it bites!'"
Children are innocent, and after saying this they look forward to receiving praise from adults.
But the adults just glanced at her and nothing else happened.
Lin Chuntao is sharp-tongued and the man she brought back is obviously not a good person. If the government really signed the marriage certificate, they have no choice but to recognize it.
As Qian and Zhang sang the same tune, everyone knew that the Zhang family came to propose marriage and wanted to change the partner to Lin Chunxing.
Only Lin Changhe was not smart enough, and he pierced through this thin window paper in everyone's silence.
"Oh right! That damn bitch Chuntao is getting married. What should we do when the Zhang family proposes tomorrow?"
"Should we go and tell the Zhang family not to come tomorrow?"
No one in the yard paid any attention to him.
Lin Changhe tugged at Qian's sleeve. Qian glared at him unhappily, turned around, walked to the eaves, took a chair and sat down.
As the sun was about to set, Tian cursed, "What are you all sitting around for? Is there enough fodder for tomorrow's pigs? Have you pulled out all the weeds in the fields?"
As soon as the words fell, the people in the courtyard dispersed. Those who were pulling weeds and turning the soil picked up their hoes, and those who were cutting pig grass put on their backpacks. Second aunt Feng stood in the courtyard and shouted, "Lin Chuntao! Lin Chunxing, have you cut enough pig grass? Why don't you come down and cut pig grass?"
Lin Chuntao just came down from upstairs, opened the door and bumped into her second aunt who was shouting.
"Is that pig ours? Second aunt, didn't you hear what grandma said just now? It's all hers!"
The second aunt sneered with her sickle and cursed, "You dead girl, you can't eat dinner if you don't work!"
Lin Chuntao shrugged indifferently.
The old lady went to catch grass to feed the chickens, and Zhang went into the kitchen to light a fire to prepare dinner.
When the sun set, Zhang had prepared dinner and the people working in the fields had returned, bustling around in the yard scooping water to wash their hands.
After washing their hands, the adults and boys went into the main room, while Lin Chunxing and her cousins went to the next room.
Lin Chuntao led Pei Ying in and saw boiled wild vegetables, boiled potatoes, and brown buckwheat buns on the table. It looked like buckwheat husks were ground into the buns and mixed in.
But Lin Chunxing and her cousins took their own bowls and chopsticks as usual and sat down to eat.
This is a habit that has accumulated over time.
Lin Chuntao took the bowl and chopsticks, walked out and turned into the main room.
