Although you don't drink the pesticide directly, this 1605 is a highly toxic pesticide. Even if you take a sip of the water from the bottle, it's enough to make you uncomfortable.
Lin Lan just felt dizzy and had ringing in her ears. She was nauseous and prayed that her liver, kidneys, nerves, etc. would not be poisoned.
After lying down for a while, she no longer felt so uncomfortable and decided to move around.
The room was narrow and dark, and she nearly tripped when she went downstairs. Seeing that the tattered straw curtain made the room dark and airless, she tore it down.
Xiaowang, who was lying on the kang, thought she was going to lose her temper again and shrank into the corner in fear.
Lin Lan took two steps and felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. She wanted to drink some water, but then she remembered that the jar and bowl had been smashed to pieces by their original owners.
She wanted to go to the main room to get some water to drink, but she felt so exhausted that she had to sit back on the kang.
At this time, Erwang came back. He put a leaf bag on the kang, which contained a few burnt fish and two cicada turtles.
Erwang smiled and said, "Mom, Sanwang ate all the fish. I couldn't bear to eat it, so I gave it to you."
Lin Lan knew it well and glanced at him. "Erwang, your father is not at home, and life is not easy for us. It doesn't matter if you eat more or less, but you can't lie to your mother and play tricks on her."
Erwang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I never lie to you."
Lin Lan asked him to pour her a glass of water.
Soon Erwang came back with some water and whispered, "Mom, this is terrible. Grandpa and grandma are hiding in the house to have a meeting to deal with you."
Before this, Lin Lan heard faint voices coming from the main room, mixed with the old lady's scolding, and guessed that they were discussing how to deal with the original owner.
She took the bowl and found the edge of the bowl was sticky. She immediately felt nauseous. When she brought it to her mouth, she smelled a strange odor in the water and didn't want to drink it anymore.
Normally, there is rarely any oil in the meals at home, so even if the bowl was not washed with soap, it shouldn't be so dirty.
She suppressed her disgust and took a sip, thinking that when she became the head of the household in the future, she must keep the house clean and tidy, and it absolutely could not be so dirty.
"Did your grandma say she wanted to send me back to my parents' home?"
Erwang was surprised and asked, "Mom, how did you know?"
I can't hear what they are saying from here.
Lin Lan snorted, "That's my guess."
Erwang looked at her, thinking that in the next moment his mother would roll up her sleeves and rush over to cry and make a scene, so he subconsciously dodged to the side to avoid being affected.
Zhui knew that Lin Lan didn't move, so he put the bowl down and asked, "Where's Sanwang?"
"After cutting the grass, he was lazy and went to the river to swim. Mom, wait for him to come back and I will teach him a lesson for you." Erwang acted like an older brother.
Lin Lan glanced at him and said, "Go to the main room and listen to what they are saying. Come back and tell me."
Erwang went out immediately. Xiaowang in the corner crawled forward and said, "…Go to the Lin family and divide the family."
Lin Lan looked at him curiously, and then she remembered that although Xiaowang was visually impaired, his hearing was better than that of ordinary people. It was just that the original owner became more and more distorted, took his anger out on him, and disliked him, so he became a severe autistic patient.
At this time, he was still a normal child, just a little late in speaking.
Because the other children called him a blind and foolish boy, he became even less talkative, and since no one protected him, he naturally became more and more withdrawn.
Lin Lan waved at him, but Xiao Wang didn't respond, so she had to say, "Xiao Wang, come here."
Xiao Wang crawled over to her side.
Lin Lan coaxed him softly, "Did you hear what they said? Tell me in detail."
Xiaowang could only say a few words at first, but with Lin Lan's guidance, he was able to speak complete sentences.
Through Xiaowang's fragmented vocabulary, Lin Lan had a rough guess.
After a while, Erwang came back with a report, which further confirmed Lin Lan's guess.
As expected, the old lady first said that she wanted her son to come back and divorce her. She had already sent a telegram to Han Qingsong. But the old Han did not agree. He felt that the in-laws of many years should not be so heartless. It was not good and embarrassing. Then he said that he supported the separation of the family. It seemed that the eldest brother and his wife agreed to the separation. After all, the couple were the main labor force in the family and worked the hardest. But the second brother and his wife disagreed. It was estimated that they wanted to spend Han Qingsong's money and let the eldest brother and his wife work more so that they could relax.
"My grandma said that she took my dad's allowance and didn't give a penny to mom. She also wanted mom to take us out to share it. She said that there was nothing else except food, and we have to earn work points to eat in the future." Erwang said angrily: "Mom, why are they so evil? They took my dad's allowance and didn't give it to you. They also want us to earn work points to eat. But my uncle and second uncle are both earning work points at home. Why don't they go out to earn money?"
Lin Lan signaled him to be patient, "We'll talk about it when your father comes back in a few days."
Erwang looked at her in surprise. Mom didn't go to make trouble? Grandma and the others said they wanted to kick her out, so why didn't she go to fight?
"Mom, they want to kick us out!"
Lin Lan: "I know. I won't let them succeed."
It's okay to divide the family, but then do it properly. How can you keep the money earned by the third wife but drive away his wife and children?
You wish!
Erwang stared at Lin Lan as if he didn't recognize her.
Lin Lan touched Xiao Wang, smiled approvingly, and praised him, "Xiao Wang is great! What you just said is almost the same as what your brother said."
Mother praises him!
Praise him like you would your sister and brother!
Xiaowang looked up at her with wide eyes, trying hard to see his mother's appearance clearly.
Seeing that the child was so excited that he looked like he was about to faint, Lin Lan quickly touched his head again. He seemed to like her touch very much, and his furry head rubbed against her palm like a sunflower looking for the sun.
For some reason, Lin Lan had a sense of stroking a cat, and she quickly withdrew her hand in shock.
Xiaowang felt his mother's disdain, the light in his eyes dimmed again, and he began to shudder again.
Lin Lan felt inexplicably sad, but she couldn't bear it. She smiled, held his little face and turned to the window, indicating that she should go there to eavesdrop.
Xiaowang thought his mother was playing games with him, and he was so happy that his eyes seemed to be burning.
He climbed down from the kang. Although his eyesight was poor, he was very familiar with the environment around him and did not bump into anything. He stood on a small tree stump and eavesdropped from the window.
Erwang was stunned. What happened to my mother?
Although he found it strange, he didn't want to be left behind, so he ran out to eavesdrop.
Just now, his mother actually praised the little fool, but didn't praise him for what he said. He can't fall behind.
Lin Lan held Xiao Wang in her arms and listened for a while. Even she, who was a Buddhist, could hear the anger. Old Lady Han was really something. It was wrong for the original owner to quarrel and seek death at every turn, but the old lady was not much better. If she didn't rely on her being an elder and the children in the family respected her, she would probably be on par with the original owner.
Let's not talk about anything else, just the money Han Qingsong earned, the old lady only gave it to her youngest son and daughter, they were obviously the children of two poor lower-middle peasants, but they insisted on being like the young masters and young ladies of landlords, either going to restaurants or buying this and that. But the children at home were so young that they couldn't go to school, they had to cut grass, pick up manure and go to the fields to earn work points, they were all dark and thin, and she, who didn't like the children, felt bad when she saw them.
No matter how bad the original owner was, how could he not feel sorry for his child? Of course he wanted money to improve his child's life.
She immediately had an idea and whispered to Xiaowang, "Remember it?"
Xiao Wang nodded, "Mom, remember this."
Lin Lan carried him down and said, "We'll go after they leave." She took out the thumb-thick wooden stick from the wall.
Seeing this, Xiaowang was so scared that he immediately hid in the corner, thinking that his mother was going to beat him again.
Lin Lan hurriedly said, "Xiao Wang, Mommy gives this to you as a walking stick, so you won't bump into anything when you walk with it."
Xiaowang has poor eyesight, and it is not a good idea for him to stay in the house all day. In the future, she will not be able to watch him all the time, so she must train him to walk by himself.
If she had money, she would take Xiaowang to have his eyes checked and receive treatment early, which might help cure his condition.
Xiaowang then smiled and said, "Okay, Mom." He groped his way out holding the wooden stick.
Lin Lan called Erwang back and gave him some instructions.
Erwang hesitated: "Mom, they are all pasted on my grandma's bed. If I take them away, she will see it, right?"
Lin Lan asked, "After the family splits up, you don't want to follow your mother? Do you want to follow your grandma?"
Erwang immediately shook his head, "Of course I follow mom. My eldest brother will definitely follow grandma and ignore mom, but I'm not like that."
Lin Lan said, "Your elder brother will not abandon mom. He is a real man. After the family is divided, he will know how to protect mom and you. You can go."
After the meeting in the main house was over, when the man went out and the woman was cooking at home, Erwang and Xiaowang went to the main house as instructed by Lin Lan.
Han's second sister-in-law and the old lady went to the vegetable garden, while Han's eldest sister-in-law was cooking. There were many children in the house, so as long as she made sure they didn't bump into anything or fall, she didn't interfere much.
Soon, Erwang returned to the east room with something and handed it to Lin Lan, "Mom!"
This is the marriage certificate of Lin Lan and Han Qingsong. It looks very much like an elementary school student's award certificate, with a one-inch bare-headed photo of the two of them attached to it.
Lin Lan above is youthful and pretty, with a look that is a bit shy and a bit bold. Han Qingsong next to her is wearing a military uniform, sitting upright, and has a handsome appearance, so they are a good match.
There were just a few small holes on Lin Lan's photo, which looked like she had been pricked by needles.
Originally, each of them could have kept their own marriage certificates, but Mrs. Han insisted on posting all of her sons' marriage certificates in her own room, saying that they looked like paintings and looked nice.
From this perspective, it seems like she is imitating Madam Rong.
Lin Lan rolled up the marriage certificate and said with a smile, "Erwang, I promise you that after the separation, I will definitely take care of you and lead a good life. I will let you eat white flour, meat, candy, and go to school!"
