"I don't know. There are rumors everywhere in the family compound now. Your reputation is ruined before you even arrive." Grandma Lin became worried when she thought about it.
No wonder only Zhao Cuifeng came to visit, while others avoided her.
"Forget it, they said what they said. No matter how much I explain, it's useless. Let's prove it with facts."
Lin Su was open-minded. Although she was also bothered by her reputation being ruined, it was useless to make excuses at this time.
As long as she takes good care of Qin Ni, the rumors will be self-defeating when seen by outsiders.
Besides, she is not an extrovert. If there is no one to make friends with, then she won’t make any. It would be fine for her to concentrate on taking care of her three children at home.
Lin Su was open-minded, but Grandma Lin was not. The older generation's thinking made her feel that this matter would ruin her granddaughter, but she also knew that it was useless to just explain it verbally.
Thinking of something, she said, "Could it be your vicious mother-in-law who is causing trouble?"
The abuse of the stepdaughter started with her, and it's hard not to suspect her.
Lin Su nodded, "It's possible."
"How could she be so evil? She's half dead, yet she's still trying to hurt this and that. Isn't she afraid of shortening her life?"
Grandma Lin was very dissatisfied with Qin's mother. She didn't care about anything else and directly criticized their grandmother in front of the three children.
In fact, the three children no longer have any feelings for their grandmother, and what others say or do has nothing to do with them.
Among the three children, only Qin Keke didn't understand, but he also understood one thing, that is, his stepmother was bullied.
He searched around and found a small branch. He picked it up and handed it to his stepmother, "Beat, beat the bad guys."
This little branch is almost like a tickle.
Lin Su took it with a mixture of laughter and tears, but was still very relieved.
At first, Sanwa didn't want him to hold her, but now she can protect her.
Feeling relieved and a little touched, she squatted down and hugged Qin Keke and rubbed his cheek, "Our Keke is so nice, I'm so touched."
If Lin Su had rubbed Qin Keke like this normally, she would have endured it for only one second at most, no more than that. But now, after realizing that she was being bullied, she endured it for several more seconds.
He was young and couldn't count, so he counted silently one second, three seconds, and then started counting again to let Lin Su stay a little longer.
Qin Yao and Qin Ni were watching from the side, not coming forward, but their eyes lingered on Lin Su vaguely.
…
Erniu finally pulled the luggage over. Qin Sui was not there, so Grandma Lin and Lin Su could only carry it down slowly.
The three kids also came to help. Qin Yao and Qin Ni were small and weak, so they could only help with light things. The third kid was simply making things worse, but Grandma Lin and Lin Su didn't say anything to him. Instead, they watched with a smile.
After Erniu unloaded the luggage, he did not leave immediately, but helped carry it into the house.
"Grandma, why doesn't anyone come to visit you?" Erniu stayed for quite a long time, but he felt a little strange that no one came to visit.
If someone moved here in the past, more or less people would come to visit, and even if they didn’t come to visit, they would still gather around to watch the fun and ask questions, but now it is very quiet.
Besides, Deputy Regiment Commander Qin holds a high position and has many people trying to curry his favor. But now that his wife has come to the military region, no one comes to visit her. How can this be possible?
Hearing Erniu mention this, Grandma Lin sighed, "I don't know which badmouth spread bad things about Susu everywhere, saying that she abused Erni. We haven't even arrived yet and it's spread everywhere. They probably don't come to visit because they think Susu is difficult to get along with."
Erniu scratched his head when he heard this, "How is that possible? You just arrived..."
etc.
Suddenly I remembered that not long ago, Deputy Captain Qin’s mother called to complain, and he seemed to have mentioned it to Aunt Huang in a moment of desperation!
I heard that Aunt Huang loves gossip the most. Could this be the reason why it spread everywhere?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Erniu suddenly slapped himself in the face, scaring both Grandma Lin and Lin Su.
"Why are you hitting yourself, kid?" Grandma Lin asked in surprise.
Erniu said guiltily: "Grandma, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, this incident is probably caused by me."
Hearing this, both of them frowned and stared at him.
Erniu quickly told them the whole story.
Grandma Lin was speechless for a long time, then she said, "You deserve a beating. You dare to tell others about something unclear."
Erniu nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I deserve to be beaten."
He slapped himself again.
Lin Su sighed helplessly, "Forget it, the thing has already happened, no matter how hard you fight, it can't be undone."
"I can go and explain it to them."
"It's useless. People's prejudices are as big as a mountain."
Upon hearing this, Erniu felt even more guilty.
There was no way to make up for it, so he could only work hard to help them move their things and put them back in place.
Then he ran around to help them repair the doors and windows, and borrowed a hoe from someone to loosen the soil in the yard so that they could grow vegetables more easily.
Erniu was so busy that he was sweating all over. He even ran out without feeling tired. After a while, he caught a hen from somewhere and said he wanted to kill it for them to eat to nourish their bodies.
Lin Su quickly stopped him and said, "Don't kill it, keep it for laying eggs."
Erniu was not killed.
Lin Su asked him, "How much did you buy this chicken?"
Although farmers were allowed to sell their own agricultural and sideline products at this time, there was still an inherent mindset in small places that believed that buying and selling things was speculation.
However, some people conduct transactions secretly, as long as they are not so blatant.
This hen was also bought secretly by Erniu, and was wrapped in clothes all the way.
"Since sister-in-law wants to keep it for laying eggs, then keep it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Erniu didn't mention the money at all.
When he was about to leave, he was stopped by Lin Su and forced into his arms a five-dollar bill. "No, public is public and private is private. If you don't accept it, don't call me sister-in-law anymore."
