Chapter 81 "It's so ugly that it hurts my eyes"
courtyard.
Lin Shisheng took out some brown sugar from his parents' room, met his sister's strange eyes, touched his head, and looked puzzled.
He turned around and asked his brother-in-law: "Cheng Huai, what does Zhao Zhao's expression mean?"
How would Gu Chenghuai know?
"How about I go and ask, brother?" He raised the end of his eyebrows slightly and changed the subject.
Lin Shisheng pretended not to hear.
Don't ask.
I always feel that nothing good is going to happen.
After his second brother avoided his gaze, Lin Zhao retracted his gaze and looked at Chen Yu again, his eyes burning as he whispered, "Is it related to the Qiu family?"
"It should be." Facing her sister-in-law's curious eyes, she shook her head and said, "I don't know any more. I have to ask your second brother."
It’s not nice to ask about private matters.
Lin Zhao sighed and turned to inquire about the class division of the Dongfeng Brigade. "Mom, I heard that the classes of the various brigades are being reclassified?"
"Yeah, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Mother Lin paused while adding firewood and looked at her, "Does Cheng Huai have any inside information?"
Fearing that Zhao Zhao might worry, he immediately said, "Your father... no problem, I went to see the team leader after work yesterday, and he knows what's going on."
He Ling's origin was a bomb, she knew it.
She was paying attention to what was going on outside.
"Did you look for it yesterday?" Lin Zhao murmured.
That's what I said.
My mother has always taken this matter very seriously.
In the original book, perhaps because she died early, her father could not bear the pain of losing his daughter and was bedridden, and her mother was busy with household chores and did not care about the class classification, so the Lin family was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives and suffered a great misfortune.
"Mom, who is in charge of this matter in our team?" Lin Zhao lowered her eyes with a cold light.
When she thought about how Dadan and Xibao were bullied by the bad kids in the brigade for ten years because of their bad family background, wasting their most precious ten years, living a miserable life all their lives, unable to hold their heads up, she felt so hateful!
Lin's mother felt that Zhaozhao was weird.
She never cared about this issue before.
"...Liu family."
"Why are you asking this?" She observed her daughter's expression calmly and raised the importance of the background issue again.
Lin Zhao did not sugarcoat the situation and said bluntly, "Mom, please be careful. I'm worried that someone is setting a trap for our family."
According to the original book, there were indeed people who disliked her family and tried to trip them up behind their backs, and they succeeded!
It is impossible to plan for success in this life.
but.
There is a poisonous snake watching from behind, I must pull it out!
Who knows what tricks he will play next.
Mother Lin knew that Zhaozhao never spoke without a purpose, and she must have a basis for saying this.
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and the graceful demeanor of a queen of beauty in her youth could be vaguely seen.
"Relax, I'll pay attention."
Lin Zhao felt relaxed and smiled, "I'm not afraid as long as my mother is here."
Seeing her smile, Lin's mother started to smile too.
As they were chatting and laughing, fragrance wafted from the kitchen.
Dadan and Erdan were like clinging to the chimney, and they pushed their carts into the house at mealtime without being called.
"Auntie, we can ride a bike now!" Dadan poured water to wash his face, cleaning the sweat from his forehead, his voice excited.
Erdan added: "Aunt, my brother and I didn't fall down, nor did we fall down on the bicycle."
"Great! As expected of a child of our Lin family, you have such a high learning efficiency." Lin Zhao praised.
Dadan and Erdan laughed so hard that their teeth showed.
In the corner, Lin Xuan was helping four kids wash their hands. The little girl had beautiful eyes and eyebrows, was quiet and reserved, always worked silently, and didn't like to talk much.
"Wash the back of your hands too," she whispered.
The eldest and second cubs liked this older sister and grinned and replied, "We know."
Xi Bao and Lin Zheng set up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks.
Yuan Xiang took the initiative to serve the dishes.
It will be ready soon.
While working, Qiulian pretended to be dead and didn't come out, but she came out at dinner time.
The people in the yard looked over.
I want to see how thick-skinned she is.
Qiulian pretended not to see it and twisted her body, touching the braid on her shoulders with both hands, being as pretentious as possible.
"The meal is ready..."
She then spoke.
Lin Shisheng's face darkened and he said coldly, "Go back to your room!"
Being scolded in front of outsiders, Qiulian felt ashamed. Her face turned red with embarrassment and she said angrily, "I am the daughter-in-law of the Lin family. Why can't I eat?"
"Lin Shisheng, you have no conscience. You want to starve me to death. Come on, let's go out and ask the captain for justice. Let's see who is right, you or I." She cried loudly, looking very aggrieved.
"Shut up. If you keep howling, I'll send you back to your parents' home right now." Lin Shisheng was impatient and interrupted her in a cold voice.
Lin Zhao raised her hand, "Second brother, I have a bicycle."
The tone is light and cheerful, and he enjoys watching the fun.
Gu Chenghuai hugged her neck from behind, covered her mouth with his slender and powerful hands, and took her away from the battlefield.
A low and deep voice rang in Lin Zhao's ears, accompanied by a damp heat.
"Zhao Zhao, don't be so quick to speak, or people will remember you."
"Remember it if you want. I'm not afraid of the Qiu family. The Qiu family is my second brother's in-laws' family. They have nothing to do with me. The worst that can happen is that I'll fight." Lin Zhao pulled down his hand and said unconvincedly, her dark eyes dancing with light, shining brightly.
"Zhao Zhao, give your second brother some face." Gu Chenghuai advised gently.
"I know you don't like it..." He paused slightly, "We don't even know the situation right now. We should at least know what Second Brother thinks about this matter first, right? Then we can see, ok?"
Lin Zhao listened to the advice and said, "Okay."
She was really annoyed with Qiulian. Whenever she saw her, she would think of her second brother's tragic ending and she wanted to slap her a dozen or twenty times.
"Be good." Gu Chenghuai looked relaxed.
Lin Zhao hit his arm and said, "Go away, I'm not a kid, stop using that kid-soothing tone, or I'll hit you."
Gu Chenghuai glanced at the muscular arm that was beaten and said helplessly, "You've already hit it."
"..." Lin Zhao quickly withdrew her hand, and when her eyes swept across the lively center, she raised her hand again and rubbed his arm.
Gu Chenghuai's eyes softened instantly, and his dark and sharp pupils were like rippling spring water.
When your lover is by your side, your eyes will quietly leave your body.
There was meat to eat, and Qiu Lian was not going to miss the chance, so she was about to sit down when Lin Shisheng walked over.
The tall figure exudes an oppressive feeling.
He had a cold expression, grabbed Qiulian's arm and threw her aside.
"Don't bother your family here, go back to the house."
Thinking about what he had learned from his friends, Lin Shisheng felt mixed emotions, but mostly he felt relieved. How could he not be happy that he could soon be free from the sea of suffering?
It’s a pity that she wasn’t caught on the spot, otherwise this woman would have been taken to the farm long ago!
"You ask why there is no food for you. Did you work? Did you help cook? You didn't do anything and you want to eat. What the hell?"
Qiulian was nearly thrown to the ground, but she managed to keep her balance.
She roared, "Why shouldn't I help with the work? It's because of your good sister. She gave red dates and brown sugar to the eldest sister-in-law, but she didn't even want to give me, the second sister-in-law, a piece of candy wrapper. Why should I cook for her family? I don't owe her anything..."
Lin Zhao looked at Gu Chenghuai, pointed her index finger at the tip of her nose, and her face was full of speechlessness.
What the hell does it have to do with her?
Gu Chenghuai touched the top of his wife's head and glanced at Qiulian with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Lin Shisheng sneered and interrupted Qiulian's madness: "Zhao Zhao doesn't owe you anything! The way you keep taking advantage of me is so ugly that it hurts my eyes!"
"I'm her second sister-in-law. If she doesn't give it to me, it means she looks down on you as her second brother." The woman was so angry that she started to sow discord again.
"So what? I don't care. Why do you have to be so nosy?" Lin Shisheng was so annoyed with this damn woman. He just wanted to have a quiet meal, but why was it so difficult?
You can't be a good person.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be entangled in such a disaster.
grass!
The Lin family had long been accustomed to Qiulian's unreasonable behavior and did not take it to heart. They just ate and drank as usual.
It was a rare occasion for the four kids to see such a scene. Their eyes were as bright as stars, and their gazes were fixed on their second uncle and aunt.
I was so absorbed in watching that I forgot to eat.
Erzai's jaw almost dropped in shock.
"Eat while watching." Lin Zhao reminded the four children.
She noticed that her second brother had no warmth towards Qiulian and his eyes were full of impatience.
but.
It also seems like it's being suppressed by something.
Why?
Wait for the right moment and strike with one strike...! ?
She had all kinds of guesses in her mind.
Gu Chenghuai saw his wife's undisguised expression, gently squeezed her hand, and said in a low voice: "...control yourself."
"Oh." Lin Zhao cleared her throat and calmed down.
I really want to know.
Seeing Qiu Lian had calmed down, Lin Shisheng sat down with peace of mind and started eating with big mouthfuls.
It smells so good.
There was only one seat left at the table, next to Lin's mother.
Qiulian only dared to scream at Lin Shisheng and did not dare to provoke her fierce mother-in-law. This was a tigress who had killed bandits. A slap from her could make her spin like a top on the spot.
She rubbed her empty belly and looked at the sisters Lin Xuan and Lin Zheng, wanting the two money-losing guys to leave some meat for her.
Today's dishes smelled of meat, and she was so greedy that her saliva was almost dripping to her toes. She hadn't tasted meat for a long time. At her mother's house, she was not even qualified to eat an egg, and her stomach was empty.
Even so, Qiulian did not blame her mother's family. She understood her parents. The family was poor, and it was only right for her younger brother to eat the eggs. Her younger brother was a boy and was supposed to carry on the family line.
Lin Xuan and Lin Zheng lowered their heads to eat and didn't even look at her.
Qiulian cursed in her heart, what a useless girl.
She frowned and walked into the kitchen dejectedly, wanting to roast some sweet potatoes, but found that the fire under the stove had gone out.
He was so angry that he didn't care how heavy his hands were.
The sound of tinkling and clanging spread to the yard.
Lin's mother warned, "Second son's family, if you break a bowl, your mother's family will have to pay for it."
Hearing this, Qiulian's hands shook and her lips quivered with anger. She didn't dare to do anything weird again and her movements became much gentler.
No one in the Lin family cared.
The whole family sat around the dinner table, enjoying themselves and creating a warm atmosphere.
The Lin family saw the naughty side of their son-in-law (brother-in-law) for the first time in a long time.
"Zhao Zhao, drink some soup."
"Wife, don't you like the spicy pork slices that your mother made? I picked out the fat, leaving only the lean meat. Eat it."
Gu Chenghuai was considerate and patient, and he couldn't wait to feed his wife.
But he was calm and casual, as if they were surprised by the expression of having a toothache.
The eldest and second cubs didn't find it strange, as it was their duty to take care of their mother.
The two little brothers even learned to pick up food for their mother like their father.
"Mom, eat your eggs. They're delicious."
Lin Zhao's eyes were full of smiles, "Thank you, big bastard and second bastard."
The third child scooped up a spoonful of egg custard with a small wooden spoon and brought it to his mother's mouth, his eyebrows and eyes were calm, "Mom, eat it."
Lin Zhao didn't disdain it and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Thank you, Sanzai," she said softly.
The third child bent his head, his dark eyes sparkling brightly.
The fourth child wanted to imitate him, but his father pressed his shoulder with his big hand and said jokingly, "Don't move. You'll get on your mother's skirt. Be careful of getting beaten."
The little kid didn't know that his dad was doing this for his own good. He struggled hard but couldn't move, and his face turned red with anxiety.
Even though he was furious, he didn't shout. He just puffed up his cheeks and said in a soft little voice, "Bad, Dad is bad."
Xibao's heart was moved by the cuteness. She put down her chopsticks, leaned over, and gave her a kiss on her chubby little face.
The fourth cub was dazed by the kiss on his face. His curled eyelashes trembled slightly and he stared at her blankly.
This big sister was somewhat unfamiliar to the little boy.
Everyone else thought that the child was about to cry, but she didn't cry. Instead, she smiled sweetly at Xibao.
Then turn the other cheek over.
"Aunt, will Si Zai still let me kiss you...?" The carefree Xi Bao was so frightened that she stuttered.
She thought she would be slapped.
"Yes." Lin Zhao was amused by Xi Bao's expression. She laughed so hard that she couldn't sit up straight and leaned to one side.
Gu Chenghuai put his hands on her slender shoulders to help her steady her body.
Xibao happily kissed the four cubs again.
The heart of the face control is satisfied and he smiles happily.
"Auntie, the four cubs are so well behaved."
Lin Zhao raised her eyebrows and looked at her with bright eyes, "You are well behaved at your age."
Xibao didn't understand the hidden meaning of her aunt's words. She just thought that her aunt was praising her, and the little girl was very happy.
"Aunt, Sizai's little skirt and hairpin are so beautiful. Did you buy them for her?" she asked again.
"No, your uncle bought it," said Lin Zhao.
Thinking of the clothes he brought, he added, "I brought some old clothes and asked your mother to alter them for you."
Xibao's eyes lit up, she stopped eating, rushed back, hugged Lin Zhao's neck, and rocked back and forth like a happy little bird.
"Aunt, you are so nice. Aunt, you are really my dear aunt."
Lin Zhao patted her arm and said, "Go eat, your brother has almost eaten all the meat."
Xibao looked back and saw that her two brothers were eating very fiercely, so she quickly went to compete with the two eggs for the meat.
Lin Zhao did not ignore Lin Xuan and Lin Zheng. "Xuan Xuan, Zheng Zheng, I'll measure your sizes later. I'll alter the clothes and send them to you later."
The girls in the Lin family all knew that their aunt had a lot of clothes, which were basically without patches and in beautiful colors, and their little faces lit up with joy.
"Thank you, auntie." The two little girls said in unison.
"Thank you, Zhaozhao." Chen Yu looked at her sister-in-law gratefully.
After thanking him, she added, "I crocheted two pairs of tiger-head shoes for the third and fourth sons. I'll give them to you after dinner."
She crocheted that bit of wool by taking apart her old sweater.
"Okay." Lin Zhao said without hesitation.
The second child swallowed the meat in his mouth and asked curiously, "Mom, are these the tiger-head shoes that my brother has?"
"Yes, the tiger-head shoes you two wear were also crocheted by your aunt."
My sister-in-law is a decent person who doesn't like to take advantage of others. Whatever you get from her, she will always find a way to give back, such as the shoes she crocheted herself, the side dishes she cooked herself... The things are not expensive, they are all thoughtful.
"Thank you, aunt." The eldest and second sons thanked politely.
Chen Yu thought the two kids were really adorable and said with a smile, "You're welcome."
Yuan Xiang sat in the corner, not saying much, but his body was stretched and his whole body was relaxed.
She felt that the atmosphere at her aunt's house was really good. It wasn't because the food was good or the accommodation was good, but because she felt warm all over there.
After dinner.
Yuan Xiang cleaned up the dishes skillfully without needing any help from others.
"Sister Xiangxiang is so capable." Lin Zhao exclaimed.
Such a hardworking girl will be able to live a good life no matter who she marries.
Mother Lin nodded.
"She looks a lot like your aunt. Your aunt can't stand people who aren't diligent."
"Is that so?" Lin Zhao was surprised.
Afterwards, I realized, "No wonder I always felt that Aunt looked at me in a strange way, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated."
Lin's mother was brewing chrysanthemum tea. It was Lin Heling's habit to drink a few sips of tea after meals. Over the past few decades, the couple had gotten used to it.
"Your aunt has been very hardworking since she was young. She can't sit still. It's normal for her to dislike your laziness."
"Zhao Zhao is not lazy." Lin Heling was afraid that her daughter would be unhappy, so she said in a gentle voice, "Going to school is also very hard, and it uses up your brain. After Zhao Zhao finishes studying, she must need some time to relax. I just happened to see it and think that Zhao Zhao is lazy. This doesn't seem to be objective."
Mother Lin handed him half a cup of tea and smiled helplessly: "Just spoil your daughter."
Lin Heling took the tea. His fingers were a little thick, but long and beautiful.
"Dad, I'll give you a set of tea sets someday." Lin Zhao suddenly said. The best things should be given to the best dad.
Drinking tea from an enamel mug is not worthy of his father's temperament.
"Okay, I'll wait." A gentle and soft voice sounded.
There was an old pomegranate tree planted in the Lin family's yard. There was a wooden rocking chair under the tree. Lin Heling was lying on it, fanning himself slowly with a cattail leaf fan.
The afterglow of the setting sun casts a layer of warm light on the air.
Lin Zhao picked up a stool and sat down next to Lin Shisheng under the tree.
Glancing at this scene, Lin Heling's eyes lit up with a smile and he closed his eyes to rest.
"What, what's wrong?" Lin Shisheng felt uncomfortable all over and subconsciously checked his clothes. His clothes had patches but were clean. His shoes were... dirty and torn, but his big toe was not sticking out to breathe.
Everything works fine!
"Second brother, you and second sister-in-law..."
Before Lin Zhao could finish her question, she saw Lin Shisheng's face turn cold and disgust flashed in his eyes.
"She will no longer be your second sister-in-law! Don't call her second sister-in-law, she doesn't deserve it."
Lin Zhao had mixed feelings.
Qiulian is a bombshell and restless. She knows it is only a matter of time before she and her second brother become strangers.
but.
Seeing the emotions on her second brother's face, she felt distressed and worried.
Her second brother could have had a happy family like her eldest brother, but it was all ruined by Qiu Lian. It's so heartbreaking.
Her worry was that her second brother would be impulsive and end up like in the original book.
"Second brother, no matter what happens, don't be impulsive!" Lin Zhao locked his eyes on Lin Shisheng without blinking, his expression extremely serious.
"Especially not to take action."
Lin Shisheng felt something was wrong.
how……
It seemed like Zhao Zhao knew something already?
"Do you know something?"
Lin Heling opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a halo in his eyes. He looked at Lin Shisheng and said slowly: "Shisheng, listen to Zhaozhao."
Implications.
Don't ask so many questions.
As a father, it is impossible for me not to notice the changes in my daughter.
But, for him and Xiwei, as long as Zhao Zhao is still Zhao Zhao, she will say everything else she wants to say.
Lin Shisheng didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the pair of sisters who were touching their bicycles not far away and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Zhao, don't worry. I won't be impulsive."
The most impulsive moments are all over.
Next came divorce, which was a happy thing.
Lin Zhao patted her second brother's shoulder and comforted him silently.
Lin Shisheng felt warm in his heart, but at the same time, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Zhao Zhao, your brother is not that fragile."
"I know. It doesn't stop me from wanting to comfort you, second brother." Lin Zhao felt that her second brother was the most unlucky in the family. Look at the life he was leading.
Remembering that her nephews had not taken the anthelmintic, she took out her shoulder bag, took out five small pills from the bag, which was actually a storage ring, and waved to Dadan and the others.
"Dadan, Erdan, Xibao, Xuanxuan, Zhengzheng, come over here."
Dadan and the others came over with puzzled looks on their faces.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Xi Bao said in a cheerful voice.
Erzai recognized the pills in his mother's hand, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said loudly, "My mother is going to give you some anthelmintic medicine, which can kill the small worms in the stomach. We have all taken it before."
Medicine.
It must be bitter.
Dadan's smiles disappeared in an instant.
The attentive eldest child saw the resistance on the faces of his brothers and sisters and knew what they were worried about. He added: "It's not bitter, it's sweet. My mother said it's called a sugar pill, and a child can only eat one."
Erzai nodded his little head, "It's really sweet, just like candy. After eating it, a lot of small reptiles will come out."
"Is there a bug?" Lin Xuan's face turned pale, her delicate brows were tightly knitted, and she looked a little scared.
She doesn't like creepy crawlies.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Xuanxuan. It's just one time of diarrhea. Don't drink unboiled water in the future. Wash your hands before and after meals, and there won't be any more worms in your stomach." The eldest son comforted his cousin in a clear voice.
"Okay, I understand." Lin Xuan's expression relaxed and she clenched her fists to cheer herself up.
Then, the five big friends took the anthelmintic.
"Hey, it tastes pretty good." Dadan looked surprised.
Erdan said, "It's obviously just sugar, how can it really kill bugs?"
The second child raised his chin slightly, his face proud and said, "Whether it can be done or not, you will know tomorrow morning."
That dragging tone is so cute.
The sun sets in the west.
Everything that needed to be said and done was done, and Lin Zhao and her family of six left the Dongfeng Brigade.
As soon as they left, Lin Shisheng rushed into the house without saying a word, packed up Qiulian's clothes, and forced her to leave.
I was originally worrying about how to send the person back, and Zhaozhao's return to her parents' home was just the opportunity.
The opportunity is given to Qiulian, I hope she seizes it.
