Lin Weidong crouched down at the crack of the door and complained to Mrs. Lin who was standing by the fence outside, "Grandma, it was Lin Jingshu's man who did it."
He clearly saw the man driving away.
Mrs. Lin: "Is it the soldier?"
Lin Weidong nodded and decided to go and settle the score with him. It was no wonder that he was scared. The man's eyes were just too scary.
When he looked into his eyes, his heart trembled and he had to be scared.
Mrs. Lin's mouth corners were tense, but she didn't say anything when she heard what he said. Her child stuck out her butt and she knew what he was going to say.
The old family is no longer the same as before. With this rich son-in-law, they will be even more prosperous. By then, not only their family, but even the entire brigade may not be better off than them. For now, they should see how to get along well with them.
"Tell your sister to come out and take the clothes to wash."
Lin Weidong called out to the room, "Lin Qiaoqiao, come out and do the laundry."
Lin Qiaoqiao had just fallen asleep when she was woken up by his shouting.
I turned over and pretended not to hear, then continued to sleep with my eyes closed.
Mrs. Lin waited in the sun for a long time but saw no one come out. She put her hands behind her back and kicked the door open, cursing, "What kind of girl is as lazy and greedy as you? It's only a few hours old and you're lying in bed sleeping. Get up quickly."
A broken voice kept calling in her ears, and Lin Qiaoqiao got up reluctantly.
Why are there so many things going on every day? She is not the housekeeper at home, why should we look for her?
"Let my brother wash it."
Lin Qiaoqiao rarely resisted, her brows tightly furrowed, and a hint of anger in her eyes.
"How can that be? How can your brother, a grown man, go to the river to wash clothes? Everyone's clothes are washed by maids. I think you have been showing off too much recently. Don't think that you can enjoy a good life by marrying into the Zheng family. You may end up worse off than at home."
Mrs. Lin sneered. She had eaten more salt than rice. When the Zheng family came to arrange an engagement, Zheng's mother looked at their yard with disgust in her eyes.
She treats people with this kind of expression before she even gets married. One can imagine what her life will be like after she gets married.
No matter how bad her Lin family is, they are still blood relatives and can't be too bad to their own children.
Lin Qiaoqiao lowered her eyelids and didn't take it seriously. She thought to herself that no matter what the Zheng family was like, it was still better than her home.
From childhood to adulthood, the words she heard most often were "You are a daughter, your brother is a son, how can you compare with him?"
Or they would say, "If I raise a daughter, she will belong to someone else. It's better to raise a son."
There are so many things like this that can’t be said enough.
At that time, the family was poor. In order to allow her brother to go to school, she was taken away from home and had to follow the adults to earn work points at a young age.
Obviously, her grades were better between the two of them.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be unable to find a decent job.
Unlike Lin Jingshu, she was one of the few girls in their team who went to high school. Many people envied her, including Lin Qiaoqiao herself.
In her previous life, even if she married far away, she could not avoid the fate of being sucked dry by her family.
Half of the money Gu Chengze handed over to her was used to fill the gap in her mother's family, and even the compensation she received was taken away by them under various pretexts.
Unfortunately, she was reborn too late and failed to fight for the opportunity to study. Fortunately, the college entrance examination was resumed soon, and she had the opportunity to go back to school.
More importantly, she was about to marry Zheng Guoqiang and would no longer have to worry about having no money to spend or no food to eat.
As for what Mrs. Lin said, he ignored it in one ear and out the other, not taking it to heart at all.
Mrs. Lin was ignored and was so angry that she poked her head with her hand.
"When are you going to learn to be as smart as your brother? You're always stubborn."
Lin Qiaoqiao: Here we go again.
"You are busy, I will go to do the laundry."
Lin Qiaoqiao walked out of the door and ignored Lin Weidong who greeted her in the yard.
"Who provokes you again?"
His nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes.
"Don't worry about her. Dongzi, are you thirsty? I left some boiled water on the table for you."
He whispered, "It's sweet with sugar. Go drink it."
Lin Weidong ran back home and drank two buckets of water before his throat felt better.
Hearing her say this, my throat suddenly felt dry again.
"Thank you, grandma."
Mrs. Lin smiled with wrinkles all over her face, "You're still polite to grandma."
Lin Weidong slumped in his chair and said, "Grandma, I heard that Lin Jingshu's boyfriend is from Beijing. He must be rich, right?"
Lin Qiaoqiao, who was passing by with clothes in her arms, had a suggestive look in her eyes. "Who told you you're rich? Maybe you borrowed those clothes just to save face."
In her previous life, she joined the army immediately after marrying Gu Chengze. She had never met her in-laws and only vaguely knew that they lived in Beijing.
I guess the conditions are not that good, otherwise why would he hide it from her?
Lin Weidong stared at her and asked suspiciously, "How do you know?"
"Of course I know. I've heard it before."
Lin Qiaoqiao almost let the cat out of the bag, but the more she talked, the more mistakes she made, so she simply left with the clothes.
Lin Weidong curled his lips. He didn't believe that he had no money.
They say a lean camel is bigger than a horse. I don't have any money to please Widow Liu recently, so it would be best if I could get some from Lin Jingshu.
Mrs. Lin didn't notice his little thought and said casually, "Who knows? He's probably just a poor soldier. I heard he's on an island, a million miles away from here. What's wrong with people from Beijing? Counting back three generations, we're all peasants. Who is more noble than the other?"
"That's not the case. You think she should be filial to you after she gets married."
Mrs. Lin pondered and felt that her grandson's words made sense. Every child should respect their elders when they get married.
When Qiaoqiao got engaged, the Zheng family gave her two pounds of meat as a gift.
When I got to Lin Jingshu's place, I saw nothing.
The old lady suddenly felt unbalanced.
Lin Weidong struck while the iron was hot and said, "Xiaoya wants me to go to their house for dinner."
Mrs. Lin perked up when she heard this, her eyes brightening. "Really?"
Lin Weidong nodded.
"This is great news. Grandma still has some money. You can use it to buy some things and try to catch him as soon as possible."
Wu Ya is an accountant in the factory's finance department. Not only is she pretty, but more importantly, she is the factory director's daughter.
If the two of them can succeed, their grandson will definitely be a city dweller, and she, the old woman, will also enjoy the good life.
Mrs. Lin returned to the house, took out a small box from under the kang, and took out two dollars.
Lin Weidong curled his lips. Two dollars was not enough to have a meal in a state-owned restaurant.
"Thanks, Grandma, but..."
Lin Weidong looked hesitant.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Mrs. Lin urged.
"Xiaoya has always wanted something new, but there's no hope in our little place. Why don't you go to Jingshu's place and have a look?"
Mrs. Lin subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she saw her grandson's expectant eyes, she trembled and said nothing.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Looking at her back, Lin Weidong showed a triumphant smile.
