Chapter 63 Chapter 63 "They all know, and they say I...
"Shuangshuang, don't be so loud. It will be embarrassing if someone hears you." Shu Sanmei ran out and tried to pull Wu Shuangshuang, but Wu Shuangshuang shook her arm off.
Lin Tao also came out, her eyes red, and timidly looked at Wu Shuangshuang, "Don't be angry, cousin, it's our fault. We shouldn't have troubled you."
"Lin Tao, don't say that. We are all family. I am just trying to find a solution for you." Shu Sanmei still likes this niece very much. She is sweet-mouthed and good at talking.
"But my cousin's wife..."
"But what? I know you're not a good person, so why did you come?" Wu Shuangshuang didn't give him face. "I hate crying women like you the most. Do you think I will sympathize with you if you cry a few times?"
"Mom and Dad, do you know how much it costs to buy a job?"
Lin Juexing, who had been silent the whole time, interrupted and said, "Lin Rong is already in the army, why does he still need to buy a job?" What he meant was, wouldn't it be better to just make an arrangement?
"If you don't want to buy it, will you rob it? Or do you want to see Lin Rong break the rules and be dismissed from the army?" Wu Shuangshuang was still full of momentum. "I tell you, if anything happens to Lin Rong, I will definitely take a knife to Uncle Wu's house and chop them first. I will never live again!"
Whether it was quarreling or fighting, Wu Shuangshuang had never given in, otherwise she would not have offended Zhao Shufen as soon as she arrived at the family compound, resulting in her having no friends since then.
Now she won't let anyone take advantage of her.
Shu Sanmei and her husband naturally didn't want to see their son make a mistake. When she was still thinking about what to say, Lin Tao cried and said she was going to collect her things. She quickly grabbed Lin Tao and said, "Silly girl, your cousin's wife is just like this. Don't bother with her. We didn't discuss this. If you go back crying like this, how can I explain to your parents?"
Before leaving, Shu Sanmei promised her younger brother and sister-in-law that she would definitely settle Lin Tao and his sister. Now Wu Shuangshuang refused to do so, and she was a little unhappy.
"Okay, if she doesn't leave, I'll leave!" Wu Shuangshuang kicked the door slammed and saw Jiang Qiuyue standing there. Before she could react, Jiang Qiuyue pulled her home.
"I thought you would be relieved after your relatives left, but I didn't expect you to be in big trouble in the end." Jiang Qiuyue was angry for Wu Shuangshuang after hearing this, "Just stay at my house and don't worry about them. But you have to take the money at home. Without money, they can't do anything."
Wu Shuangshuang slapped his forehead, "Yes, you reminded me. I have to go home, otherwise my mother-in-law will take the money and I will really jump into the river."
Wu Shuangshuang ran home in a hurry again. When the Lin family saw her coming back, they thought she would not leave, but Wu Shuangshuang took all the money and tickets away.
Lin Rong chased after him, and Wu Shuangshuang said directly, "Over the years, your parents have come to you for help with various family matters for the sake of face. Have I ever stopped you for small matters?"
Lin Rong shook his head.
"My parents want to save face. Okay, I won't argue with you. You can handle those little things as you like. But what is it this time? You also know how much Fang Xia's work costs. Even if it's 400 per person and 800 for two people, our family's total savings are less than 800. I'm not that generous!"
Wu Shuangshuang took a deep breath, "Do what you are capable of, don't be too proud and suffer. If your parents really want to settle Lin Tao and his sister, then they can pay for it themselves. If they can really settle Lin Tao and his sister, I will praise them for their ability and come back immediately to cook you a meal to celebrate!"
Wu Shuangshuang took the money and left. Shu Sanmei was so angry that she stamped her feet and scolded her son for being a henpecked child. "You are a man after all. How come you can't make any decisions about family affairs?"
"Mom, it's not your fault that Shuangshuang is angry about this incident." Lin Rong also felt that his parents were too fond of making trouble. "I have to abide by the rules in the army. If Lin Tao and his two children graduate from junior high school and meet the recruitment requirements, I can help them find out when the recruitment will be held so that they can prepare in advance."
"But they themselves are not qualified. I am not a person with extraordinary abilities who can cover the world with one hand. Don't think too highly of me. I am just an ordinary person, not as powerful as you think."
In the eyes of parents, their own children are the most amazing. Shu Sanmei and Lin Juexing think so too. After all, their sons are the only ones serving in the army in the village, and everyone envies them.
After hearing Lin Rong say that he was an ordinary person, Shu Sanmei couldn't accept it. "How can you say that? Everyone in the village says you are amazing. Now you say that, do you want to stop caring about this? If you can't be a soldier, then you can always arrange a job for me, right? Not to mention arranging two jobs at the same time, can't you arrange one job first?"
Lin Juexing also said, "Yes, Lin Rong, please help arrange a job for Lin Wu first. If it really doesn't work, you can find a military officer to introduce to Lin Tao, so that she can have a good home."
Lin Rong was silent. Seeing his parents unable to speak for a long time, he laughed at himself. "Shuangshuang just said how much a job costs. Do you know? At least 400 yuan, and it's hard to find an opportunity even if you have money. I have to send part of my salary to you every month in addition to the expenses at home. Do you think I can afford the 800 yuan?"
"Why is it so expensive?" Shu Sanmei had never seen 400 yuan in her life. "Can't it be cheaper? It doesn't matter what kind of job it is, as long as it allows them to stay in the city and have a formal job."
In his opinion, rural people are not afraid of hard work and fatigue, even if they have to sweep garbage or collect rags, it is fine. As long as they have a formal job, it will be much easier to find a wife in the future. Moreover, they can eat commercial food in the city and don't have to work hard in the fields.
"Mom, what do you think you are buying? Do you think you can bargain? If you don't buy, there are plenty of people who will."
Lin Rong found that his parents thought too simply about work. "So many people in the city have no jobs and want to go to the countryside. If the work is cheap, why don't they buy it and do it?"
Although the country calls on everyone to go to the countryside to support the border areas, who is willing to go to the countryside if they can stay in the city? Isn't there no other way but to go to the countryside?
Hearing this, Shu Sanmei fell into deep thought.
Lin Juexing still insisted, "If it was that simple, would we still come to you? Even if your wife doesn't care, you still have to take care of them. They are our own children. If you let them go back like this, how can your parents put their faces?"
"Face, face, you only think about face, have you ever thought about how hard it is for me?" Lin Rong couldn't help but yell, "For so many years, I have run around for you for your face, and now you are still talking about face. I don't have the ability to do that anyway, and you have seen the money, it was all taken away by both of them, and I will not make mistakes for them."
After saying this, Lin Rong left home. He felt very upset and didn't understand why his parents couldn't be more understanding.
If he really had the ability, he could help his family, but he was really powerless this time.
If he really emptied the family's savings to arrange a job for Lin Wu, he believed that with Wu Shuangshuang's temper, he would really rush back to the countryside with a knife to settle the score with his fifth uncle's family.
Seeing Wu Shuangshuang and his wife leave, Shu Sanmei thought of the 400 yuan that Lin Rong mentioned, "Old man, if it really costs that much, I think it's better to..."
"What? If you don't arrange this, do you have the face to go back?" Lin Juexing turned and walked into the house. "If they have the guts, they shouldn't go home. Hurry up and cook. We'll wait here. The monk can escape, but the temple cannot. I don't believe that my son can defeat me!"
On the other hand, after Wu Shuangshuang saw Lin Rong leave, she thought that this guy had a bit of a temper. In the past, he always said yes and would help take a look.
She snorted and went into Jiang Qiuyue's kitchen, "Qiuyue, I'll help you cook."
"No, just sit there and light the fire. There's nothing for you to do." Jiang Qiuyue was cutting vegetables. The radish seedlings in the yard grew too densely. She pulled some out and pickled them into sauerkraut. She would stir-fry them now and eat them with rice later. "But now that you two are gone, what will happen to Daya and the others?"
Wu Shuangshuang is not worried about this. "Although my parents-in-law want grandsons, they are also fine with their granddaughters. They won't starve them. The rice and grain at home are enough for them to eat for two or three days. Let them enjoy it for now. I don't care about this matter anyway. When there is no food at home, Daya and the others will come over early if they are hungry."
She lived there, right? She would know what happened to her daughters at any time, so she was not worried. As for Lin Rong, he must have moved to the dormitory, and she would not go to find him. She had to let him think it through himself, so that she would not come to them for anything in the future.
Seeing that Wu Shuangshuang was not worried, Jiang Qiuyue continued cooking.
A few days ago, Xiao Li sent a ham. Jiang Qiuyue was stunned when she saw it. She never thought that she could have a whole ham at this time. She gave some to Wu Shuangshuang and exchanged some with Grandma Wang for some seafood. Today, she just cut some to stir-fry garlic sprouts.
Wu Shuangshuang put a few potatoes in the oven to roast and eat with chili powder later. "I see that Chief Yu has been coming to your house for dinner recently and he likes your two children very much. Why not let them recognize a grandfather? After all, Chief Yu is alone."
"I haven't thought about this." Jiang Qiuyue said, "If they don't mention it, I can't bring it up, lest it looks like I'm trying to curry favor with the leader."
Jiang Qiuyue was quite satisfied with the current situation. Whenever there was something delicious at Chief Yu's house, she would be there for it. There was no need for her to find a godfather specifically, lest people in the family compound gossip about her.
"That's true." Wu Shuangshuang chatted with Jiang Qiuyue while turning the potatoes.
On the other side, Lin Rong met Lin Zhengrong, and the two were sitting in the playground.
"Why don't my parents understand my difficulties?" Lin Rong was still upset. "If I really had such great ability, I would have climbed up by myself a long time ago. Why did they wait until today?"
Lin Zhengrong said, "If you really want them to understand you, you have to let them see your difficulties, otherwise, in their eyes, you must be very powerful. Find an opportunity to talk to your two nephews. If they are sensible, they will not pester you. Those who pester you are not sensible, so you don't need to care about them. Just buy two tickets and let them go home."
"You really see things clearly." Lin Rong sighed.
"That's because you haven't experienced what I've experienced. Your parents want to save face, but they still love you. I don't have such parents."
Lin Zhengrong saw that it was almost time for lunch, so he patted Lin Rong on the back and said, "Alright, we can talk about it later. Calm down first. You are really frustrated. Just go to the playground and run ten laps. When you are exhausted, you will not have the energy to think too much."
After all, they are Lin Rong's parents, so Lin Zhengrong couldn't say too much bad things about them. He could only advise Lin Rong to think things through himself.
Lin Rong followed Lin Zhengrong and stood up. Looking at Lin Zhengrong's back, he suddenly thought of something, "Zhengrong, do you know that you are famous now?"
Lin Zhengrong: “Hmm?”
"Haha." Thinking of Lin Zhengrong's matter, Lin Rong's depressed mood improved a little. "You are really strong and healthy, awesome, really awesome, I admire you very much!"
Lin Zhengrong was confused and didn't understand what was going on. "What's going on? Tell me directly."
"You really don't know?" Lin Rong asked.
"I don't understand what you mean." Lin Zhengrong said.
Lin Rong asked Lin Zhengrong to come closer. "Before your wife went to the hospital for a checkup, Dr. Liao said that she was the one who got the most family planning supplies in the hospital. They said that you use two boxes a week. How come you don't know how to get tired?"
There are ten in one box, two boxes equals twenty, an average of three per day. When everyone heard this, they all gave a thumbs up, marveling at Lin Zhengrong's ability.
"Nonsense!" Lin Zhengrong really didn't know about this. Whenever he came one more time, Jiang Qiuyue would groan and not let him touch her the next day. Even if he wanted to, Jiang Qiuyue wouldn't let him sleep like this.
"Who told you the rumor?" Lin Zhengrong asked.
"Oh, don't worry about it. I can't sell him out." Lin Rong said with a smile, "You really don't have two boxes?"
Lin Zhengrong gritted his teeth and said, "No."
"There must be that box, otherwise the doctor wouldn't have said that you two are the ones with the greatest need for family planning supplies in the family hospital. But don't worry, we brothers are just praising you, and this is a good thing." Lin Rong patted Lin Zhengrong on the shoulder, and left quickly for fear that Lin Zhengrong would ask who told him that.
All the way home, Lin Zhengrong felt that the way people looked at him was not right, something was wrong.
As soon as he got home, he pulled Jiang Qiuyue away while she was still cooking.
"Dish, my dish! Sister Shuangshuang, please help me fry it!" Jiang Qiuyue was brought into the room. Seeing Lin Zhengrong's earlobes turned red, she looked cute. "What are you doing? Sister Shuangshuang is still here."
Lin Zhengrong opened his mouth, organized his words, and then asked, "Why did you go to the hospital that day? Why didn't you let me accompany you?" Wu Shuangshuang knew about it, and now everyone knows it.
"Which day?" Some time had passed and Jiang Qiuyue couldn't remember what Lin Zhengrong asked.
Lin Zhengrong blushed and said after a long while, "It was when you went to the hospital and the doctor said you were the one who received the most birth control supplies in the family hospital."
"Ah, how do you know about this?" Jiang Qiuyue clearly told Wu Shuangshuang not to tell anyone.
"Lin Rong told me that many of his comrades knew about it. He also said that we use two boxes a week. Damn it, I want to use that many!" Lin Zhengrong accidentally said what was in his heart.
Jiang Qiuyue blushed and said that recently when she went to buy groceries, people always stared at her. So this was the case.
Just thinking about it made her want to crawl into the ground. She pinched Lin Zhengrong's arm fiercely and said, "You still want two boxes a week? You are dreaming!"
Jiang Qiuyue went to the kitchen to find Wu Shuangshuang and asked her if she was the one who talked to Lin Rong.
"No, if you didn't let me tell you, I would have been so choked up after I got home. Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?"
Knowing that not only her husband knew about it, but many people in the family compound also knew about it, Wu Shuangshuang covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, and asked, "I... I swear to God, I really... hahaha... didn't tell anyone!"
Wu Shuangshuang really didn't say anything. She thought about this several times when she and Lin Rong were lying down and chatting.
But she would think of Jiang Qiuyue's instructions. Jiang Qiuyue was her only good friend. What if her man couldn't keep his mouth shut and told others about it, and what if Jiang Qiuyue got angry with her?
"Then how do they know everything?" Jiang Qiuyue was full of questions, and these people were spreading too much exaggeration.
Two boxes a week?
Even if Lin Zhengrong was willing, she couldn't bear it.
"Could it be that Doctor Liao said that?" Wu Shuangshuang asked. After all, there were only three of them in Doctor Liao's office that day.
"No way, Doctor Liao doesn't look like someone who talks so much." But Jiang Qiuyue couldn't think of anyone else except Doctor Liao.
How did it get spread like this?
Jiang Qiuyue couldn't understand why Lin Zhengrong didn't care who spread the rumor. He felt very aggrieved and was thinking about whether to confirm the rumor so as not to feel aggrieved.
