Chapter 22 The Fierce Dog Tears

Madam Lin glanced at the two Ganoderma lucidums, one large and one small, and said, "They don't look like mushrooms anyway, so let's take them back first!"

So the mother and daughter carefully dug out the red Ganoderma lucidum along with the soil, hid it under the basket, and loosely draped clothes over it. Then Mrs. Lin carried the basket on her back, picked up the wine jar, picked up the pork head and the spare ribs she had bought, and freed one hand to hold her daughter.

The little girl looked up at her and said very considerately, "Xinbao, send it away."

"It's okay, mother can hold you," Mrs. Lin smiled and stretched out her hands to hold you. Milk ball kept shaking her head. Mrs. Lin smiled and handed her the pork head meat: "Then Xinbao, help mother hold this, and then mother will hold Xinbao, okay?"

The little kid puffed up his little cheeks.

She was not a child of one or two years old, so she would not be fooled by such a trick! So she took the pig head, put it on the ground, and reached out to take the wine jar.

Mrs. Lin, who couldn't figure out what she wanted to do, obediently put the wine jar on the ground, and then put the ribs on the ground. The little boy looked at her empty hands, raised his face with satisfaction, and opened his little arms: "Hold."

Mrs. Lin looked at the things placed on the ground, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She held the little girl with one hand, letting her put her face on her shoulder, then she leaned slightly, hooked ...

She was light and walked quickly down the mountain road. Then she glanced at the dirt road and suddenly slowed down her pace.

Milk ball tilted his head and asked her: "Are you tired, mother?"

Madam Lin's voice was weak and her steps were unsteady: "Mother, don't be tired. Let's go to the tree in front and rest for a while, okay?"

Just as Naituanzi was about to nod, a voice came from behind: "Sister-in-law Xiaolin, Sister-in-law Xiaolin!"

An older sister-in-law hurried over and said, "Hey, Sister Xiaolin, why did you buy so many things? Come on, put them on my shoulder pole and I'll carry them for you!"

According to the custom in our clan, people of the same generation are used to calling each other "brother" or "sister-in-law". If someone is younger than you, just add a small character in front of the name.

This sister-in-law looked to be in her forties or fifties, with a dark red face, but she walked briskly. Madam Lin was not polite and kept saying, "Sister-in-law Gao, I'm lucky to have met you. I was almost exhausted."

Huh? ?

The little boy blinked his big eyes and looked at his mother who was walking briskly just now, his little head full of doubts.

The two exchanged pleasantries and put the things on the eldest sister-in-law's pole. The eldest sister-in-law was carrying two large baskets, shaking them and saying, "Why did you buy all these old things? It must have cost a lot of money."

Mrs. Lin held the milk ball in her arms and sighed as she walked, "The children are in very bad health. I am determined to make them eat everything they haven't eaten in the past few years."

Mrs. Gao understood immediately and felt the same way: "Yeah, that's right! My sisters said in private that old Mrs. Liu is really a piece of shit... She just pampers that Tang Sanshui, what good can come out of it? I heard from Aunt Hu..."

She moved closer to her and started whispering.

These days, the old house is in chaos.

Tang Sanshui is a person who won't even help a fallen oil bottle. He is not good at anything but eating is his top priority. He cannot do without meat for every meal. He has always been supported by the eldest wife. The two of them just wait for the food. If the food is not good, they will make a fuss, slap their thighs and curse. Tang Qingshan will risk his life to go out and earn money again, and he is very comfortable.

Now that things have gotten to this point, Tang Sanshui complains about his mother all day long, saying that she is unkind and drove away the eldest wife... as if he is innocent and has done nothing wrong.

All the housework fell on Xiao Liu. Since Tang Erhe left home, Xiao Liu had never done any heavy work. She had to stand by the fence and cry for a while when washing clothes. The villagers looked like they were watching a foreign spectacle.

Although she said it was a whisper, Gao Dasao's voice was as loud as a bell. "I never realized before that this little Liu was so good at pretending. I once went to her and asked her what was wrong. She just pretended to wipe away her tears and said, 'It's nothing. I just washed two basins of clothes and came out to get some fresh air.'"

Mrs. Gao imitated Xiao Liu's pretended strong smile and pitiful tone, which made Mrs. Lin burst out laughing.

Mrs. Gao continued, "I'm confused. Why did you have to go to the side of the road to cry for no reason? You can't cry in the house? Besides, you can't see me, I'm so old, but you have to wait until I walk right up to you to pretend that you see her and wipe your tears. Tsk tsk! That day, when she climbed the tree to pick pears for our Yuanbao, I saw her from a distance. I finally noticed her, but no one came up to her, but she couldn't bear to shed tears! She was afraid that no one would see it and it would be a waste..."

She shook her head: "She just wants people to scold her mother-in-law for being mean. She doesn't say anything herself, but lets others be the bad guy for her. It's as if everyone can see this... She doesn't think about it. Every daughter-in-law in the village is busy from morning till night. She has just washed clothes for three people. It's like pulling out her tendons and peeling her skin. In the past, you were such a delicate girl, but you had to wash clothes for the whole family after a busy day. You were so neat!"

Madam Lin stiffened slightly.

Then she sighed, "Everyone is tired, just endure it!"

"That's right!" Gao's wife slapped her thigh, "I have to get up before 4 o'clock every day to be the first batch of vegetable sellers in the morning market, and then I have to serve the whole family when I come back. I haven't cried yet!"

Mrs. Gao's house is diagonally opposite the old house of the Tang family. Her husband works outside all year round, and she is responsible for taking care of her parents-in-law, two sons and a brother-in-law at home. She is in charge of both the farm and the house. She is really capable and has a close relationship with Mrs. Lin.

The only thing that Mrs. Lin was better than her was that she didn't have to do farm work.

The two chatted all the way back.

When I passed by the door of the old house, I saw little Liu standing by the fence, her eyes empty and she looked like she was about to cry.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

But to be honest, it is quite pleasing to the eye to see a beautiful and delicate woman like Madam Lin shedding tears. Little Liu looks alike with Granny Liu, both of them are tall women with big frames. Although they are not ugly, they still make people feel... like a fierce dog crying.

As soon as she saw Madam Lin, she felt as if she had seen her lover. Her eyes lit up and she came forward, tears streaming down her face before she could say a word: "Sister-in-law, I..."

Mrs. Lin ignored her and kept her smile on her face. She just walked past while talking to Mrs. Gao.

Xiao Liu immediately covered her mouth and sobbed.

While sobbing, she cried, "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, I was wrong..."

As they walked away, she couldn't help but raise her voice again and again, but Madam Lin didn't even turn her head. Only the little girl lying on her shoulder looked at her curiously with a pair of black eyes.

She called again: "Xinbao! Xinbao!"

The little girl immediately hid her face in her mother's arms. Little Liu was anxious and cried out, "Xinbao!!"

Her voice was shrill, like the heroine in a TV drama shouting, "Spare his life!!"

When Granny Liu heard this, she rushed out angrily, saying, "Which little bastard has come out? I'll cut off his ears..."

She suddenly stopped talking.

Seeing Madam Lin's back, her joints all ached, and she couldn't help showing a look of fear on her face. She stepped back two steps! Little Liu looked at her in surprise.

Mrs. Liu immediately felt very embarrassed, and slapped little Liu in the face with her backhand: "Why are you crying! Why do you call me sister-in-law when we are no longer related? You want to get close to her, but she won't acknowledge you! You are a worthless person!"

She was standing there cursing when Tang Sanshui's voice rang out from inside the room, "Mother!"

He walked out quickly, surprised and happy, and couldn't wait to ask: "Mother! Is it my sister-in-law who is back?"
