Noticing the disgust in his father's eyes, Lin Shichang fell silent.
This cloth bag looks dirty, but it is actually very clean.
Don't judge a book by its cover, eh?!
After the adults finished speaking, Xibao finally spoke up, "...What is cake?"
Lin Heling put away the sweater, looked at his granddaughter with a look of heartache, and sighed softly.
In the past, it was common for his grandchildren to live in villas and go out in cars.
It’s not like now, where we don’t even know what cake is.
He gradually remembered a lot of things. He was originally from the Lin family in Haicheng. His family owned many shops and lived in a Western-style house. Later...
Song Xiwei noticed the ripples in Lin Heling's heart, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's go to Haicheng in a few days."
Lin Heling looked at her with surprise.
It took him a while to find his voice.
“…What are you going back for?”
He was talking about going back. Song Xiwei knew that he wanted to go.
"Let's go check it out. I heard it's very prosperous. I've never been there, so I'm a little curious."
Lin Heling and his family have separated, and he doesn't know what is happening to the Lin family. He is afraid to return to Haicheng, but when he meets Xiwei's eyes, infinite strength suddenly arises in his heart.
He curled his fingers gently, "Then go."
Song Xi nodded slightly.
She had extraordinary initiative. After getting Lin Heling's approval, she went to the team leader and asked for blank stamped letters of introduction, and she asked for five of them.
The captain of the Dongfeng Brigade turned green in the face.
"...There is no such rule." He muttered, blocking the drawer (which contained the red seal) with his arm, sweating profusely.
Song Xiwei approached him, put his elbows on the table, narrowed his eyes, and said threateningly, "What rules?"
She and the team leader have been friends since childhood, and she even saved the coward's life. The villagers are afraid of him, but she is not.
"Give it to me or not? Don't make me do it."
The captain stepped back reflexively, turned his back, and pretended not to see the man breaking into the office.
Song Xiwei looked satisfied. She opened the drawer, took the paper on the table, and pressed the stamp on it.
The captain listened to the voice, his heart pounding and his face full of pain.
Bandit, how many pictures did you build?!
"Bang!"
The door closed.
The captain came back to his senses tentatively, and the evil-looking man was gone.
He patted his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to the table in two steps. He counted the papers and found that five were missing. He raised his hand to his heart.
"Bandits!" he wailed.
He took away five sheets at once, five sheets! His paper—
I sat down with a plop, and the first thought that flashed through my mind was to put the papers on the table into the drawer and lock it.
When he opened the drawer and saw a small bag of red dates inside, the captain's wrinkled face immediately relaxed.
He took it out and tasted one. It was so sweet that his eyebrows raised. He hid the rest, thinking of giving it to his daughter another day.
Chun Ya just gave birth to a grandson and needs some nourishment.
…
Back on topic.
When Xibao tasted the cake, she whimpered like a little animal, her voice drifting, "It's so delicious! I've wasted all these years."
Dadan had a complicated expression, "Erdan and I are several years older than you. We are the ones who have wasted our time."
"Yes, when we were your age, we had never smelled it," said Erdan.
Lin Zheng smiled.
Lin Xuan thought about Lin Shisheng. It was such a pity that Dad couldn’t taste the cake.
Hearing the children's conversation, Lin Shichang felt helpless and distressed. He thought that when he got his salary, he would bring some fresh food to the children from time to time to prevent them from saying things like "life is in vain" again.
"I'll bring you roast duck tomorrow."
The children who were eating the cake were stunned and almost dropped the cake.
Xi Bao rushed into Lin Shichang's arms and asked excitedly, "What does roast duck taste like? Is it the same as roast chicken?"
Lin Shichang hugged his daughter and replied with a smile, "It tastes better than roast chicken."
Xibao's eyes widened, and she said in an exaggerated tone, "It tastes better than roast chicken...it must be delicious!"
"You'll know tomorrow." Lin Shichang looked at him lovingly.
The father does not favor boys over girls. In fact, he loves his daughter more than his sons. However, the sons of the Lin family are all daughter slaves. They spoil their daughters and give them whatever they want.
Lin Shisheng used to be a little lacking, but after the divorce, all his focus revolved around his two daughters. He cared deeply about the sisters Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng, which could be seen from their rooms, which were the only ones in the whole village.
Dadan said seriously, "There are so many people in our family, why don't you buy two?"
Erdan nodded vigorously, "That's right."
Lin Shichang laughed angrily, a half-smile, "Two isn't enough to share, how about buying five?"
Erdan was overwhelmed by the five roast ducks and was about to agree when his brother pulled his arm.
I only heard Dadan say, "Five are too many. We have a family to make a living, so we can't be so extravagant, right?"
Lin Shichang: You still know.
Chen Yu watched her husband digging a hole for their son, and then watched her son cleverly avoid it, her face full of smiles.
"Does Zhao Zhao like the sweater I knitted?" she asked.
My sister-in-law has no shortage of clothes. My father-in-law makes new clothes for her every year. My uncle and aunt also buy her new clothes from time to time. My brother-in-law is also worried that my sister-in-law has no new clothes to wear... She is afraid that Zhaozhao will not like the ones she knits herself.
"I like it." Lin Shichang said affirmatively, "I like it very much. Zhao Zhao said the stitching is really fine and it makes her look whiter. She's going to wear it to work tomorrow."
Chen Yu's smile deepened. "As long as Zhao Zhao likes it, that's good. It's thanks to her that I and the baby in my belly are raised so well. I'm really sorry to trouble her."
"What's the trouble? You are her sister-in-law. Just remember it. There's no need to be so formal." Song Xiwei said indifferently.
Xi Bao chimed in, "That's right, I'm not shy about anything my aunt gives me. She's been nice to me, and I remember it all. When I grow up, I'll be nice to her, too."
She smiled with her eyes curved, her smile was like a little sun, her eyes were filled with light, very contagious.
"Me too." Dadan waved his right arm. "With Lin Sinian here, no one can bully my aunt."
Yes, Dadan’s full name is Lin Sinian.
Erdan's name is Lin Siyan.
Lin Xibao's real name is Lin Yunuo.
These names were all given by Lin Heling.
Lin Shisheng had given the Lin Xuan sisters their names. Speaking of which, we have to talk about Qiulian. After marrying into the Lin family, she was determined to have a son to consolidate her position, but she gave birth to two daughters in a row. In a fit of anger, she named them *Di. Song Xiwei was furious, and the second son and his wife dealt with them together.
In the end, the child's name was thought of by Lin Shisheng himself.
Lin Zhao knew all these things.
Because of this, her attitude towards Qiulian plummeted, and she didn't even want to say hello when they met.
The yard was bustling with activity when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who is it..." Dadan looked over and asked loudly, not forgetting to eat the last bite of cake.
The cake is too rare and it would be bad if the villagers saw it.
After eating the cake, Dadan went to the door and opened it a crack. The person outside squeezed in and Dadan was stunned.
"Who are you……"
Before he could finish his words, the man pushed him aside and rushed into the yard.
She glanced at the faces of the Lin family members and saw that Chen Yu's face was rosy and rounder. A flash of jealousy appeared in her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
If the Lin family members hadn't been watching her, it would have been almost impossible to catch her.
She knelt in front of Lin Heling and Song Xiwei, her tone fluctuating as she shouted, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Everyone: “…”
The scene was awkward for a while.
When Lin Xuan and Lin Zheng saw the person coming, their faces turned pale and their eyes were filled with shock.
Dadan and Erdan pulled them away, sent their sister back to the house, and told them to stay there and not come out if they heard anything.
The two sisters nodded and watched the door close.
"Zhengzheng, why would she come back..." Lin Xuan hugged her sister, as if wanting to draw warmth from her.
Lin Zheng patted his sister's back like a little adult, very calmly saying, "Grandpa and grandma are here, it's okay."
She pursed her lips and said, "Dad divorced her, she can't come back."
Lin Xuan's eyes were filled with anticipation. "Really?"
"Really." Zheng Zheng said firmly.
She had heard her father say more than once that he regretted getting married and that it felt great to raise two daughters alone.
Dad won’t accept...that person.
——Qiulian can’t come back!
No matter how eloquent she is.
Lin Xuan's tense body relaxed a little, her stiff head started working again, and she pricked up her ears to listen to the movements outside.
I heard nothing.
She stomped the ground anxiously and said, "...Zhengzheng, how do you think she got back?"
Lin Zheng had amazing observation skills. Seeing Qiu Lian's miserable appearance, he could guess a lot of the truth. "The Qiu family won't let her in. She has nowhere to go."
Lin Xuan: “…”
courtyard.
Song Xiwei also thought of it. She lowered her head, looked at her second daughter-in-law, and said coldly: "Your parents are not in the Dongfeng Brigade. You called the wrong person."
Qiulian dragged her knees forward and tried to pull her ex-mother-in-law's legs, but was dodged.
She paused, looked at her ex-mother-in-law with tears in her eyes, and continued to wail, "Mom, we were once mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it's too cruel for you to say such things..."
Song Xiwei felt annoyed by her and gave Lin Shichang a look, indicating that he should help his wife back to the house.
Lin Shichang was also afraid that his wife would be accidentally touched, so he helped Chen Yu back to the house.
The couple entered the house.
Chen Yu urged Lin Shichang, "Hurry up and help Mom. Be careful that man might go crazy."
When she came back this time, Qiulian was extremely thin, her face was chapped, her hands were covered with cuts, her hair was rough, and her clothes were tattered. She was completely different from before.
She didn't look very well, and Chen Yu was afraid that she would go crazy.
"Just her?" Lin Shichang shook his head. "Even if ten more came, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Mom. Don't worry about it. Besides, Dadan and Erdan are here. They're smart and will adapt to the situation."
Chen Yu felt that the man was indeed unreliable, so she pushed his arm away and opened the window a crack to look out.
Dadan and Erdan each took a broom, aimed at Qiulian, and were ready to attack; Xibao stood next to her grandfather, also in a protective posture.
Chen Yu: “…”
Lin Shichang laughed, "I'm not wrong, aren't any of my sons or daughters bad?"
Chen Yu glared at him.
So arrogant!
The mother-in-law didn't let the three children into the house, which meant that my second brother's wife was not in danger, so she stopped worrying about it.
Just when she felt relieved, she saw Song Xiwei grab Qiulian's arm, pick her up, and throw her out of the house without paying any attention to her crying and making a fuss.
Slam the door shut.
then.
She said to the older guys, "Wait until it's quiet before opening the door."
After that, he went back to the house with Lin Heling and talked about going to Haicheng.
As soon as grandparents left, Dadan rolled his eyes and winked at his younger brother. The two brothers went to the kitchen, got some water for washing the pot, looked at each other, and laughed.
At the door.
Qiulian knocked on the Lin family's door and shouted, "Dad, Mom, you can't be so cruel! I haven't even seen my two daughters! Open the door! I want to see them. I'm their mother. You can't stop me from seeing them..."
The song she sang attracted the attention of the villagers, and everyone came to join in the fun.
The person who wanted to propose marriage to Lin Shisheng was very smart. He thought this was a good opportunity to add points, so he rushed forward to pull Qiulian.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? You are from another village, and you dare to come to our village to cause trouble? Believe it or not, we can drown you with a spit from each of us!!" The speaker was an aunt, with a big frame and a strong physique. She was very fierce and a real village bully. She spit at Qiulian very fiercely.
She wanted to marry her niece to the second son of the Lin family, so she was naturally not happy about Qiulian returning to the Lin family.
In addition, Qiulian is a bad person. She used to sow discord between her daughter-in-law and her family. If it weren't for her daughter-in-law's kind heart, her family would have been in disharmony.
Could she let Qiulian go?!
"What's it to you? Get out of the way. I want to go in. This is my home too..." Qiulian still hasn't learned her lesson and her temper has become very bad.
She is very thin now, and when she glares, she can scare a child to tears.
The aunt who spoke sneered, "Your home?"
"This is the Lin family. You're not from our Dongfeng Brigade. We're not stupid. We still remember your divorce from Lin Er."
Others also joined in the booing.
"Yes, we remember that your divorce was very straightforward. Why are you regretting it now? Why did you find that the Lin family is doing better now?"
"What's the point of finding out now? Lin Er has become so popular now, and there are so many people proposing marriages to him. This fickle girl... he doesn't like her, hahaha."
…
Dadan and Erdan climbed up the ladder and saw a lot of people at their door. As a result, the hot pot water they prepared was useless, which was disappointing.
"Brother, aren't you going to pour water on that bad guy anymore?" Xi Bao held the ladle in her left hand and looked up at her two brothers on the ladder.
"No more splashing!" Erdan replied.
Xibao sighed in disappointment, threw the ladle back into the bucket, and pestered her brother to climb the ladder.
"It's unladylike for a little girl to climb a ladder. Dad said that little girls shouldn't climb it." said Dadan.
No matter when, bringing up Lin Zhao is a fatal blow to Xi Bao.
Sure enough, the little girl stopped making a fuss about climbing the ladder and said to her two brothers, "Brother, tell me about it. I want to hear it. What are you doing outside? It sounds very lively."
Dadan did not refuse his sister and broadcast the news to her from time to time.
Sisters Lin Xuan and Lin Zheng came over, and the three girls listened together.
…
Qiulian was bullied by the villagers and couldn't even touch the wooden door of the Lin family. After enduring for more than ten minutes, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she made a way and ran away.
The villagers burst into laughter.
A young man looked at the two egg cubs' heads that had popped out and laughed loudly, "Big Egg, Little Egg, the people are gone, you can go out now."
Dadan chuckled, "Thank you, brother."
"You're welcome. Your second uncle and I have a very close relationship." He said and left.
Erdan sighed, "There are so many people who have a close relationship with Second Uncle."
The three girls in the corner nodded and said, "Yes."
Qiulian ran out of the Dongfeng Brigade and saw my younger brother after walking a few steps.
She glared at him, "You ungrateful bastard, you ungrateful bastard... why are you looking for me?!"
Qiulian was so angry that she hit him.
Her brother was hit in the face and grimaced in pain. He tightly grasped her hand and said, "What are you crazy about? Is it wrong for me to come and take you home?!"
He felt a little aggrieved. "My parents don't want you to come in. What can I do? I have to persuade them. It seems I am wrong. Fine, I don't care about you anymore..."
Finally, Qiulian's brother let go of his hand and walked back the way he came, furious.
Qiulian realized she had misunderstood her brother and hurried after him, "You're here to take me home."
She shed tears, "I thought even you didn't want me, your biological sister. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come here. You don't know how cruel the Lin family is. They kicked me out, and everyone in the village called me fickle..."
"..." Aren't you a fickle person? The young man with a slightly hunched back complained in his heart.
"Go back first." He interrupted Qiulian's voice, feeling annoyed.
If it weren't for a mountain farmer who offered fifty yuan to propose to Qiulian, he wouldn't have made this trip.
