Chapter 63: Very Punishing
"This is so embarrassing!" Zhao Liuniang slapped her thigh, looking ashamed.
"The sister-in-law desperately pursued Song Zhiqing, but was laughed at by a female educated youth at the educated youth point. She got angry and slapped the female educated youth's face until it was swollen. The female educated youth was furious and reported it to the police, who came to her house and arrested her!"
Because of this incident, the eldest sister-in-law was so angry that her face turned blue, and she wanted to strangle her sister-in-law who had caused trouble to her!
Zhao Liuniang pointed to the main room and said softly, "The eldest sister-in-law was so angry that her eyes turned red and she was almost going crazy. If the younger sister-in-law hadn't gone in, the eldest sister-in-law would have torn her face to pieces."
Gu Lan is twelve years old. In a few years, she will be getting married. If her younger aunt starts gossiping about her, it will definitely have an impact on her.
Fortunately, her daughter Yuyu is still young, and it will take at least ten years before they can get married, otherwise she would be as angry as her elder sister-in-law.
Lin Zhao knew what her sister-in-law cared about most, so she said, "Alan is a good girl. We all know that she will definitely find a good partner in the future."
"It's difficult." Zhao Liuniang shook her head, not optimistic.
It's not that she looks down on her own niece, but if a country girl wants to find a good partner, she can't have even the slightest blemish on her reputation, otherwise she will be despised.
Lin Zhao was also from the countryside, and she knew how foul-mouthed some people were, and how they could even make something false seem true.
After a brief thought, he said calmly, "What's so difficult about this! In a few years, I will definitely take my four children with me to join the army. There must be a lot of good guys in the army. If you see a suitable one, you can introduce it to Alan."
"A good girl will never have trouble finding a husband."
Of course, she would not take care of every detail. After all, she was only the third aunt, not the biological mother, and Gu Lan's marriage had to be decided by the eldest brother and his wife.
Zhao Liuniang suddenly opened the door to a new world.
Grab Lin Zhao's hand.
"Third sister-in-law, you can't be partial to her. Yuyu is also your niece, a niece you have watched grow up." She looked earnestly.
Lin Zhao looked at her sister-in-law who had suddenly gone berserk calmly, and said helplessly, "Second sister-in-law, Yuyu is only two years old."
"Maybe she can get into college and find you a college student partner."
Is it too hasty to consider things fifteen years from now? !
Compared to finding a good partner, it is more important for a child to have a successful future.
Zhao Liuniang was greatly encouraged and excited, "Thank you for your good words, Third Sister-in-law."
She is not a very smart person, but she listens to advice.
What Lin Zhao, a high school student, said carried a lot of weight for Zhao Liuniang.
"Have the police said when they will release the person?" Lin Zhao didn't even want to mention Gu Xing'er's name, as she thought it was unlucky.
Zhao Liuniang was stunned for a moment, then realized who she was referring to and said, "Who knows? The public security comrades didn't tell us."
"I guess my sister-in-law will be locked up for at least half a month. Don't worry, my sister-in-law hates her to death, so she can't move in and won't bother you."
After Huang Xiulan learned about Gu Xing'er's troubles, her eyes were full of anger. Zhao Liuniang was sure that if her sister-in-law came back, her eldest sister-in-law would slap her in the face until it was swollen.
She suddenly felt lucky for the third wife, "It's a good thing the third wife was separated, otherwise who knows if she would have influenced the eldest son's father."
Bangbang and Laimei still have to rely on their third uncle.
We can’t let Gu Xing’er, that troublemaker, bring disaster to the most promising person in the Gu family!
Lin Zhao sneered, "If she dares to implicate Comrade Gu, I will beat her to a pulp."
"It has to be you." Zhao Liuniang gave a thumbs up.
So cruel!
The second child has starry eyes.
When Lin Zhao caught a glimpse of his little eyes, her shoulders and neck straightened, and alarm bells started ringing in her head.
I forgot the two cubs were still here.
She reached out and touched Erzai's prickly head, and said gently, "Erzai, adults and children should not hit others, or the police will arrest you."
"If the kid is captured, he will never see his mother again, so we can't just fight. We have to be reasonable, understand?"
It’s not that she deliberately frightened the children, but that the things that Erzai did in the original book were very “punishing” and he must be taught well while he is still young.
The second cub sat well-behaved, like an obedient baby, nodding his little head seriously.
"Well, I don't hit people."
In fact, I sighed helplessly in my heart.
Mother is deceiving the children.
He is a grown-up boy of over five years old, not a child of two years old. He knows that children who fight will not be arrested by the police.
The older friend knows everything.
but.
He knew that his mother didn't like him fighting, and he didn't want to disappoint her, so he agreed first.
"Good boy~"
At this time, Gu Yuanshan and Gu Yucheng entered the courtyard one after another.
Gu Yucheng, who was walking in front, was holding a heavy fish in his hand.
"I caught a fish!" Zhao, where did you catch it? "
The answer to the question was not important. Without waiting for Gu Yucheng to speak, she shouted towards the main house, "Mom, Bangbang's father and his uncle caught a fish. Shall we eat pickled fish later? The children are greedy."
Mother Gu came out and took a look at the fish.
It’s really big.
"become."
Zhao Liuniang said to Lin Zhao again, "I don't know how to do it. Third brother's wife, teach me."
"Okay." Lin Zhao said generously.
"Third wife, you take the four children here to eat. After eating, let the eldest and second wives help you move." said Gu's mother.
The twins looked at their mother expectantly.
Pickled fish, I want to eat it!
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Okay."
Who doesn’t like to use only their mouth and no hands? ! !
After teaching Zhao Liuniang how to cook pickled fish, Lin Zhao left the twins behind and took the older and younger sons home to pack up.
The children of the old house took the initiative to follow and said they wanted to help.
As soon as they left, Zhao Liuniang said to Huang Xiulan, who had a cold face, "Don't be angry, sister-in-law. My third brother's wife just told me that if Alan is really influenced by my sister-in-law, it will be difficult to find a partner in the countryside. When she joins the army, she will help find one in the army. There are many good guys in the army, and there are also allowances. Why are you so nervous?"
Huang Xiulan paused while preparing to kill the fish and looked at him inquiringly, "Did my third sister-in-law really say that?"
"Of course it's true. How could I dare to promise anything on her behalf?" Zhao, our A-Lan is not without a way out. At worst, there is still the third brother in the army. He will not watch his niece go unmarried. "
Huang Xiulan's frown relaxed.
"My third sister-in-law is thoughtful."
As he spoke, he raised his knife and cut open the fish's belly.
"I told my mother that Gu Xing'er should never think of returning to this family in this life. Either she or I, or I or she," she said.
Zhao Liuniang was stunned.
After a few seconds of reaction, he said in shock: "You said that?"
"Did you really say that?" she asked again.
Huang Xiulan nodded, "I really said it, and I really meant it."
"Mom, aren't you angry?" Zhao Liuniang asked.
"Of course I'm angry, but not at me. I'm angry at Gu Xing'er. I'm angry at her for bringing shame to my family. I'm angry at her for being so shameless as a girl. I'm angry at her for making the Gu family the laughing stock of the team..." Huang Xiulan, who is usually good-tempered, was full of disgust when she mentioned Gu Xing'er, and her teeth were chattering.
"Who wouldn't be angry?" Zhao Liuniang looked emotional.
Anyone who gives birth to a girl like this would want her to die.
"Did Dad say anything?"
Huang Xiulan scraped the fish scales deftly, again and again, "If Gu Xing'er doesn't change, she'll never be able to enter our house again in this life."
"If she can change, is she still herself?" Zhao Liuniang was not optimistic.
She glanced at the main house and whispered, "I think my parents are heartbroken by Gu Xing'er, and I'm afraid they won't let her come back."
Huang Xiulan said nothing more.
The other side.
Lin Zhao brought a group of children home. Dahuang and Amber recognized the people in the old house. They didn't shout, but just circled around their owner, wagging their tails quickly.
Being loved unconditionally really does make flesh grow.
The two furry kids were well taken care of. Their skinny bodies gained a lot of flesh, and their fur that had been shaved off slowly grew out and gradually regained its luster.
The children in the Gu family all like to touch them.
"Da Huang, Amber."
After greeting them happily, Bangbang asked Lin Zhao, "Aunt San, how do we clean up? Where should we start? In the kitchen? You tell us, and we'll do it."
"Take Laimei, Tiedan and Tiechui to clean up the kitchen." Lin Zhao gave the order, "Big Cub and Second Cub, you two pack up your things."
She felt sympathy for Gu Lan who had suffered such an unfortunate event, and said in a gentle voice: "Alan, come with me."
"Got it! I will complete the mission!" Erzai received the order, stood up straight with his legs together, and saluted his mother.
Tiechui thought Erzai was so cool, and Xingxing looked at him and followed his example, "I promise to complete the task!"
Lin Zhao laughed.
"Go ahead!"
The energetic children immediately took action.
Lin Zhao led Gu Lan to the house. Halfway through, they heard bang bangs from the kitchen saying, "Slow down, don't break the bowls. A bowl costs several cents."
"I know." Tiechui said in a long tone.
Lin Zhao was not a person who lived a hard life. She had more clothes than her four children combined. She even had three pairs of extremely expensive leather shoes. In that era of mending and patching, she was simply a freak.
She doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, she just likes to eat good food and wear good clothes.
Some hardships are not unavoidable. Her family has the conditions, so why can't she be nicer to herself?
Gu Lan looked at the closet full of clothes and those new pairs of shoes, his mouth wide open in shock.
Lin Zhao chuckled, "Why do you look like that? Are you scared because I have too many clothes?!"
"No." Gu Lan pinched her earlobe and felt that Third Aunt was not only pretty, but also had a pleasant laugh that made her ears feel warm. She was different from everyone she had ever met.
"Not scared, just a little shocked."
She was sure that all the girls her age in the brigade did not have as many clothes as her third aunt.
"This is just the beginning." Lin Zhao thought that after the new house was built, she would ask a carpenter to make a row of wardrobes and hang clothes, hats and scarves on them.
Gu Lan helped fold the clothes and muttered, "My mother said that people in the city are also short of cloth coupons."
Lin Zhao tapped the invisible storage ring with her index finger. She did not rely on the cloth coupons issued by the supply and marketing cooperative every month, so she had no pressure to make as many new clothes as she wanted.
She took out the clothes from the bottom of the box and found several pieces that she hadn't worn for years. She looked at the size and stuffed one of them to Gu Lan.
"This autumn shirt is for you. I'll ask my sister-in-law to modify it for you later."
Gu Lan was stunned. "Aunt, these are all new. They are not torn or patched."
"Too small." Those were the clothes Lin Zhao wore before she became pregnant. After giving birth to the twins, the clothes became too small, and the color was too pink.
Well, that’s her dear third brother’s aesthetic.
Although the third brother had been away from home for several years, his impression of her was still superficial - he thought she was still a young girl full of youth.
"You can alter it for the fourth kid." Gu Lan couldn't say against his will that he didn't like the clothes given by his third aunt.
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Sicui is still young, it's not appropriate to change her hair, you keep it."
"Thank you, Third Aunt." Gu Lan looked shy yet happy. Looking at the pink clothes, her eyes were full of joy.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I've worn clothes that were too small for others. We all grow up this way." Lin Zhao packed the folded clothes into a camphorwood box.
Gu Lan looked surprised.
She thought that Third Aunt had never worn old clothes.
The little girl didn't ask any more questions. She solemnly put the pink autumn sweater aside and continued to help Auntie San fold clothes. "I just think it looks new."
If they were all patches, she wouldn't think anything of it, but it's embarrassing if they are too new.
"Isn't it new?" Lin Zhao raised the corner of her mouth.
"No one would give their new clothes to others." Gu Lan whispered.
Lin Zhao said, "You are my niece, so you should call me Third Aunt, not someone else."
She had several pieces of clothes that she didn't wear anymore. She gave one to A-lan and planned to give the rest to her three nieces from her mother's side to make everything fair.
Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng's style needs to be changed by her.
Count on Qiulian for help? Don't think too much, she will just send the two sisters' clothes to her parents' home.
I don’t know how my second brother and Qiulian are doing now? !
Lin Zhao led the children to pack their things. After they were done, they thought there was still time, so they decided to move a few things first.
After hearing what Third Aunt mentioned casually, Bang Bang ran to Second Uncle's house to borrow a cart.
We are all family. It’s just a car loan. There is no way I would not lend it, especially since it’s for my most promising nephew’s family.
Uncle Gu pushed the cart out of the door and swept the dust with a broom.
"Go ahead, use it and return it later, no need to rush," he said.
Bangbang glanced at the second uncle twice, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Wheels are hard to come by, and the second branch of the Gu family took a lot of effort to get them. His second uncle was very careful. Usually, when he borrowed wheels from someone, he would repeatedly remind the person not to damage them and to return them immediately after use, saying that there was no need to rush to return them. This was definitely the first time!
Bangbang's mind popped up what Erzai had said: double standards.
What other words can better describe this behavior than these two?
The boy pushed the cart back to the third room.
The door was piled with things, covered with a large oilcloth.
Glancing at Lai Mei and the others, as well as Da Huang and Amber, who were standing guard nearby, he immediately guessed that there must be good stuff here.
Otherwise, what to build!
"Brother Bangbang, quickly move the things to the car. My mother said that after we finish moving, she will cut watermelons for us in the evening." Erzai waved excitedly.
Bangbang also wanted to eat the sweet watermelon, so he turned the cart around and put it sideways at the door.
"move!"
Dazai, Erzai and Laimei took action immediately.
With watermelons hanging, the children worked more enthusiastically.
You and I carried the things onto the cart, covered it tightly with a large oilcloth, and pulled the cart hard. The other guys stood on both sides and quickly delivered the things to the old house.
"Brother Bangbang, please move away from the stones. There are eggs here. Don't break them when you hit them." The careful older boy did not forget to remind him.
"I know."
The cabinets and bed in the third room have not been moved yet, so the things can only be placed in the yard for now.
As soon as Mrs. Gu came out of the house and saw those good things, her eyes almost popped out.
No wonder Erzai said that he and his brother were born in Fuwowo. Isn’t it a happy place?
So many good things!
No wonder they have gained weight on their faces and bodies! !
What she didn't know was that these things were nothing, and most of the good things were kept in Lin Zhao's storage ring.
"Grandma, Third Aunt said that she will cut watermelon for us after we move." Tiedan said excitedly while wiping his saliva.
Mother Gu didn't say anything to spoil the fun, she just said, "Then you have to work hard, otherwise you won't be able to eat watermelon."
"Of course! We don't just eat for free!" Tiedan responded and urged Bangbang: "Brother Bangbang, let's go, let's move again!"
Bangbang has the same meaning.
Just went out.
The second child climbed up the cart and waved to the eldest child and Tiechui, "Come on up quickly, let Brother Bangbang push us."
After the words came out.
I remembered that I forgot to ask Bangbang for his opinion.
He sat cross-legged in the car, looking up at his fair and tender face, his eyes curved into crescents, holding the light of stars, his face was like honey, "Is it okay, Brother Bangbang?"
Bang Bang grabbed the two long wooden poles at the front of the frame and raised his eyebrows at his brothers, "Go!"
