Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Lin Zhengrong saw the white skin on the recliner...

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Jiang Qiuyue smashed hard on the wooden door of the Lin family.

"Who is it?" Lin Erzhu came to open the door in a bad mood, but as soon as he showed his face, he was hit by Jiang Qiuyue, "Jiang Qiuyue, are you mentally ill?"

Seeing Jiang Qiuyue swinging the stick again, he hurried home, "Mom and Dad, come out quickly, Jiang Qiuyue is hitting someone!"

Jiang Qiuyue kicked open the Lin family's door and looked around when she saw Wang Chunhua and the others running out. "Where's Lin Xiao? Let her out."

"How dare you mention Lin Xiao? Don't you know how you beat her?" Wang Chunhua also picked up a wooden stick, but was stopped by the old man.

Lin Fugui frowned, "Jiang Qiuyue, what on earth are you going to do?"

"Dad is very smart, isn't he? He didn't guess that I was here to ask for money?" Jiang Qiuyue sneered, "Lin Xiao broke my plate and the taro cakes that I worked so hard to fry. You have to compensate me."

She raised a finger. "One dollar, that's a bargain for you."

"What? How dare you ask for a dollar for a piece of cake?" Wang Chunhua shouted.

Lin Erzhu covered his forehead. Since the family split up, the food at home has been getting worse and worse. On the contrary, he can smell the delicious food coming from next door every day. He said angrily, "Sister-in-law, are you too stingy? We are all family. You don't give us taro cakes to eat, and we haven't settled the bill with you yet. How dare you come to ask for money?"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but rush out, "That's right, you're willing to give it to outsiders, but you don't want to give it to your family. Jiang Qiuyue, you're really being mean!"

"Lin Xiao, if you don't even call me sister-in-law, how can we be considered a family?" Jiang Qiuyue clenched the stick in her hand, "I'll give you one last chance. Either you pay me honestly, or no one will have an easy life."

"Mom and Dad, don't even think about asking for help. I don't mind ruining Lin Xiao's reputation, but it will be difficult for you to find her in-laws in the future."

Lin Xiao had just graduated from junior high school, and it was the best time for him to find a husband. Wang Chunhua was really scared.

Lin Xiao herself refused to give up, "Don't be afraid, we have more people, we won't suffer any loss if a fight really breaks out." Her face still hurt so much that she wanted to step on Jiang Qiuyue and beat her.

Jiang Qiuyue was not afraid. She had been eating well these days, practicing yoga regularly, and was in very good physical condition.

Lin Fugui is a smart old man and won't do it himself. Lin Erzhu and his wife are even more timid and unwilling to step forward. Lin Sanzhu is selfish and won't get beaten for Lin Xiao. The only ones who will really take action are Lin Xiao and Wang Chunhua.

One against two, Jiang Qiuyue is no problem.

"Why doesn't anyone listen to you?" Jiang Qiuyue walked straight towards Lin Xiao, "Lin Xiao, did I not hit you hard enough just now, or do you deserve a beating? Do you need someone to keep hitting you to wake you up so that you know how to be afraid?"

When he was almost in front of Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao picked up a wooden stick, but Jiang Qiuyue knocked it away. Seeing that Jiang Qiuyue was about to hit him, Lin Fugui shouted "Enough"!

"Go get her the money!" After saying this, Lin Fugui slammed the door and walked into the room.

"Old man?" Wang Chunhua was reluctant to give the money, but more of it was unwillingness. However, since the old man had spoken, she had no choice but to give the money.

After Jiang Qiuyue left, Wang Chunhua hugged her daughter and cried, "Oh my God, what kind of a shrew is this? How are we going to live in the future?"

Lin Xiao couldn't understand, "Dad, what do we have to be afraid of? Jiang Qiuyue is an orphan and a widow. How dare she bully us? Let's burn her house at night and see how she can stand up to us."

Today, when she went home for the holiday, she saw Lin Beibei holding a taro cake, and she grabbed it and ate it without thinking. It was always like this before, why did everything change after she went to study?

"Be smarter!" Lin Fugui used to love his daughter very much, but now he just wants to crack open her head to see what's inside. "Look at Jiang Qiuyue. If I set fire to her house, will she quit?"

"When the trouble comes to town, will you go to labor reform, or will I, your father, go?"

"Also, you are already eighteen years old. Your mother and I have asked a matchmaker to arrange a blind date for you. Do you still want to marry into a good family?"

"You don't need to arrange a blind date for me." Lin Xiao pushed her mother away and sat sideways. "What good family can you find? I don't want to work on the farm all my life. I want to live in the city and eat commercial food."

She raised her hands to wipe away her tears, her face still hurting. "You are afraid of Jiang Qiuyue, but I am not. Just wait and see. I will also write a letter to my elder brother. He used to love me. If he knew that Jiang Qiuyue hit me, he would definitely make Jiang Qiuyue pay!"

After hearing what Lin Xiao said, the Lin family could only hope so.

They couldn't deal with Jiang Qiuyue, but Lin Dazhu could, after all, it was Lin Dazhu who provided Jiang Qiuyue with living expenses.

Without money, can Jiang Qiuyue still survive?

Definitely not.

While Lin Xiao was thinking about how to make Jiang Qiuyue suffer, Jiang Qiuyue next to him looked at the wound on Lin Beibei's hand and said seriously, "Next time you see your aunt and uncle, run away from them. You are still young and can't beat them. If you have any problems, come back to me. Remember?"

"But mom, you didn't say this before." Lin Beibei's eyes were still red.

"In the past, your mother and I were blinded by greed and thought that we could exchange sincerity for sincerity. Now I have figured it out. I will be nice to whoever is nice to me. If anyone bullies us, I will pay them back double. You should also remember this truth. While knowing how to be grateful, you can also see who is being genuinely nice to you or fake." Jiang Qiuyue touched the two children's heads. She knew that these principles were too profound for children, but she said them more often so that the children would remember them.

Lin Beibei nodded, not quite understanding, "Then Mom, can I not take a shower today?"

His arm was broken and he didn't want to take a shower.

"No, it's so hot, you'll stink if you don't take a shower." Taking a shower is a matter of principle, Jiang Qiuyue insisted, "I'll help you wash later."

"I'd better wash myself." Lin Beibei pouted. Mom has changed a lot now. It is very troublesome to take a bath every day, but mom will help him vent his anger. He likes his current mother very much.

In the evening, Jiang Qiuyue and her two children washed up and sat in the yard to watch the moon rise.

She told a mythological story, and the shadows of the mother and her two children were stretched out long by the moonlight, which was very warm.

The next morning, Niu Zhuangzhuang came running over crying, "Aunt Jiang, were you going to give me some taro cakes yesterday?"

Aunt Jiang’s cooking is so delicious. When he heard his grandmother mention this, he couldn’t control his tears and ran over crying.

"Oh, auntie was busy fighting yesterday and forgot about you." Seeing Niu Zhuangzhuang crying, Jiang Qiuyue laughed cheerfully, "Don't cry, you can play here with Beibei and Nannan and eat what auntie has made later. You will definitely get to eat it today!"

Niu Zhuangzhuang stopped crying instantly, "Really?"

"Of course, Auntie is an adult and won't lie to a child." Jiang Qiuyue had just finished speaking when she saw Auntie Niu running in. "Auntie, slow down. It's okay. Let Zhuangzhuang play at my house."

Aunt Niu just mentioned it casually to her daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect that when her grandson heard that the food was originally meant for him, he ran away.

"No need, Qiuyue, leave this brat alone." Aunt Niu leaned over to warn, "Are you ashamed?"

Niu Zhuangzhuang puffed up his cheeks and snorted. He would not lose face if it was for the sake of delicious food.

"Auntie, it's really okay. I was planning to give it to Zhuangzhuang. Beibei is injured and can't go out today, so it's a good opportunity for Zhuangzhuang to come and play with him."

After Jiang Qiuyue's much persuasion, Auntie Niu agreed to let Niu Zhuangzhuang stay here. However, after Auntie Niu returned home, she brought back a basket of vegetables.

Looking at the water spinach and beans on the ground, Jiang Qiuyue started the dough again. Today, in addition to the taro filling, she also made beans and potato fillings.

Three children were called to help. After a while, the yard was filled with delicious food, and the three children were so greedy that they couldn't take their eyes off it.

Lin Xiao next door was drooling. She sat at the door of the kitchen and complained unhappily, "Second sister-in-law, why are you such a bad cook? Yesterday we had sweet potato porridge, and today we had stir-fried vegetables. Look at the vegetables you stir-fried, they are all burnt. How can we eat them?"

Ever since Jiang Qiuyue went on strike, Qian Li has been doing the housework of the Lin family. Now that her sister-in-law is back, not only does she not work, she also complains about this and that.

Qian Li walked to the kitchen door and deliberately shook the rag to let the water splash onto Lin Xiao. "Xiaoxiao, if you don't like what I cook, why don't you make it yourself? Otherwise, go ask Jiang Qiuyue next door if she's willing to give it to you?"

"Second sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Lin Xiao jumped up.

"What can I do? I'm busy cooking for the whole family!" Qian Li slammed the door and went into the kitchen. Thinking about how Jiang Qiuyue did all these things in the past and how comfortable their life was back then, she felt very regretful.

If I had known that all the housework would fall on her, I would have just coaxed Jiang Qiuyue.

Lin Xiao was used to being arrogant at home. Seeing Qian Li giving her the cold shoulder, she pushed the door open abruptly, "Who are you showing your face to? You married into our Lin family, so you should do the housework. Why are you so sullen in the morning, as if someone owes you a hundred dollars?"

"Lin Xiao, are you talking like a human being?" Qian Li threw away the rag and didn't want to do it anymore. "You will get married in the future, so you'd better pray that you don't meet a sister-in-law as unruly as you!"

"Who are you calling rude?"

"I'm talking about you!"

Jiang Qiuyue heard the quarrel next door and thought that Lin Xiao was really troublesome.

But the quarrel was good. Having a daughter like Lin Xiao is a blessing for the Lin family.

Qian Li from next door was also tired and kept making a fuss. Wang Chunhua cooked her own meal while cursing.

Wang Chunhua hadn't cooked for several years, and the rice she cooked was too salty. The Lin family couldn't eat it and were looking forward to Lin Dazhu's reply.

Lin Zhengrong, who was far away in the army, was officially promoted to regimental level two days later. He went to Political Commissar Wang to ask for leave.

Political Commissar Wang saw that he had not been home for many years, so he directly approved a one-month vacation for him.

"Go home and spend more time with your family. Guo Wei will help you keep an eye on the military affairs, so you don't have to worry about it."

Wang Zhong handed over the note and said, "Also, last time I mentioned the matter of accompanying the army, you should discuss it with your wife when you go back. One person is always not as good as two. Others who want their spouses to accompany the army don't have the qualifications, but you have them now, so think about it carefully."

"Okay, Political Commissar." Lin Zhengrong took the note.

"After you've discussed it, send me a telegram and I'll help you apply for a house." Wang Zhong heard from Chen Guowei that Lin Zhengrong's lover was a very simple person.

It’s better to be simple. A simple lover will not affect Lin Zhengrong’s work.

Lin Zhengrong took a leave and went back to the dormitory to find Chen Guowei.

"You are finally going home." Chen Guowei took out an iron box from the drawer, opened it, and gave a handful of candy to Lin Zhengrong, "Let the children have a taste. I saved this specially for you."

Lin Zhengrong said without hesitation, "Thank you very much."

"Okay, why are you being so polite to me?" Chen Guowei was happy for Lin Zhengrong. "By the way, Political Commissar Wang suggested that you bring your wife with you to join the army. You should really consider it. Don't stay in the dormitory with me anymore. It's so nice to hug your wife at night."

Lin Zhengrong said he would consider it, packed his luggage, and went to buy a train ticket.

It was not easy to go home. He first took a two-day train to the county town and then took a bus to the village.

As soon as he entered the village, he was recognized by Aunt Niu.

Aunt Niu didn't hear Jiang Qiuyue say that Lin Dazhu would come back. She was surprised, but also happy for Jiang Qiuyue.

Lin Dazhu is back, and Jiang Qiuyue has someone to support her. She happily takes Lin Dazhu home, "Qiuyue's family has split up, the one on the right is yours, go in quickly, Qiuyue will be happy to see you!" The young couple reunited after a long separation, and she didn't want to join in the fun.

Looking at the yard that was divided into two, Lin Zhengrong hesitantly pushed open the door on the right.

At first glance, he saw the person with snow-white skin on the recliner and thought it was an illusion.

This... is this really Jiang Qiuyue?
