Jia Chunhua is a sensible person. She will not easily give up face to others unless she meets the worst of them.
Old Man Lin is the second child in the family, with an older brother and a younger brother.
My eldest brother is an honest man and his wife is also a decent person. And their family relationship is also fine.
Lin Laosan's family is different.
Old man Lin was stuck in the middle and was never favored. All the good things were given to his younger brother by his parents. The royal family loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son. This is true in the Lin family.
Old Man Lin’s third brother, Lin Qingshui, was a naughty boy since he was young, and was spoiled by his mother-in-law to the point of being lawless. The wife he found is not only pretty, but also petty and loves to take advantage of others.
Jia Chunhua had no one in her family. Her mother died early, and her father was beaten to death by the Japanese because he prescribed the wrong medicine for her when she was old enough to get married.
Fortunately, Old Man Lin had always had a crush on her, and his mother didn't care about her son and didn't spend money on the wedding if she could, so the two got married.
After marriage, Old Man Lin's mother ordered Jia Chunhua around everywhere. When the third brother got married, his wife-in-law saw that he had no mother's family and bullied her openly or secretly. Today he either falsely accused her of not working hard or stole the wheat she harvested. His children also isolated Lam Kwok Tung.
Jia Chunhua was not someone to be trifled with, but her mother-in-law was partial to her. Old Man Lin was already very tired from working during the day, and she was outnumbered and did not want to upset him, so she endured it.
Later, after giving birth to a daughter, I caught a cold during the confinement period and was asked by my mother-in-law to cook for the whole family. Old Lin got angry, and in a fit of rage he took his wife and children and moved to the county town.
After so many years, the mother-in-law passed away, and their family has established itself in the county town. Only then did the third brother's family calm down a little.
A few days ago, Lin Guodong came back to the village to announce the good news. Lin Qingshui's family accepted the gifts, but not only did it not add any good luck, but today the whole family came in a rush. What's going on? Are they trying to get away with it?
As today is her granddaughter's full moon birthday, she decided to be more generous and not take advantage of this good day.
"My third brother and his wife are here. Please come into the house and warm up." She greeted them with a forced smile.
Lin Laosan and his wife didn't care about Jia Chunhua's expression. Their family believed in being thick-skinned and having enough food to eat.
Jia Chunhua looked at the two nephews and five nieces in the row behind her, as well as a nephew who was held by Lin Laosan's youngest son, and suddenly felt a headache.
With so many people, the dishes prepared before are not enough.
A lot of people rushed into the house, and the neighbors who were originally in the house were a little overwhelmed.
It was still Cai Honglian who made the arrangements in a loud voice. The men went to the west room to eat melon seeds, and Aunt Lin and the children went to the east room. Don't expect her to help you, just don't make trouble.
Aunt Lin took her precious grandson from her son and walked into the house with her head held high.
Neighbor Wang couldn't stand it. She snorted and whispered to Cai Honglian, "I don't know what this woman is so proud of."
Cai Honglian shook her head, her face full of contempt.
——
"Oh, this is your daughter Shufen. Why is she so small? She is much smaller than my grandson Jinbao. When Jinbao was born, he weighed only 9.5 kilograms. People say Jinbao is blessed."
Lin Shufen's smile paused. Nine and a half pounds? How much suffering that mother must have suffered! How ignorant and feudal.
But she still said politely: "Aunt San is here, please sit down. My Tiantian has a small frame, but she is actually quite plump."
Aunt Lin curled her lips and continued, "Shufen, don't be sad about having a daughter. You already have a son. It's just right for her to marry off and collect gifts to find a wife for your son. This girl looks pretty good, so she should be popular."
Lin Shufen's face darkened instantly. Will Third Aunt say anything? Their daughter is the apple of their family's eye and they don't have time to spoil her enough. Why would she exchange her for a betrothal gift? Bullshit!
Lin Feng and Lin Zheng standing by also had stern faces, especially Lin Zheng. He understood that this Third Grandma was bad and he didn't like her.
So he squeezed in between Aunt Lin San and Lin Shufen, came close to his sister, covered her ears, and whispered: "Sister, don't listen, sister, don't listen, you are my treasure, you don't want to exchange for a betrothal gift, and I will spend all the money I make on you in the future."
Chu Linyu was already annoyed by what Aunt Lin said. This old woman really doesn't know how to talk.
When I turned around, I heard the young man's comfort and immediately became happy. Humph, who does this Third Grandma think she is? I won’t listen to her fart. She is treated well!
Lin Feng also shouted: "Third Grandma, my family is different from yours. Your family doesn't treat girls as human beings, but our family treats them as treasures. Are you going to sell all five girls in your family to Jin Bao in exchange for the bride price? Don't you estimate the price?"
