Lin Yiyi thought to herself that this plot also existed in the original drama, but when the Xiao family came to talk about it, it seemed that the betrothal gift was only 50 kilograms of grain. Daya wanted the Xiao family to take care of her together, but the Xiao family did not agree. Then she said that she would take care of her younger brother in the future, so the marriage was cancelled. However, the Xiao family was kind and still brought 30 kilograms of grain. How come now they also have wedding candy and betrothal money?
Although Lin Yiyi was puzzled, she did not show it. She said softly, "But...but food is scarce now. If I marry here now, food will be even scarcer in my aunt's house. Am I...am I not eating everyone's food?"
Qin Xiangju didn't expect Lin Yiyi to worry about this, and she immediately had a good impression of Lin Yiyi. Originally, she had no impression of Lin Yiyi (Da Ya). In her eyes, Daya was just her son's fiancée, who was compatible with her son and could save her son's life. She was grateful, but gratitude was different from a good impression or a good feeling. At this time, many families were eager to marry their daughters off to live with their husband's family, so that they could save their own food. However, the second daughter-in-law was worried about their family's food. How could Qin Xiangju not have a good impression of her?
Qin Xiangju patted Lin Yiyi's hand and said, "Don't worry. Although food is scarce in our family, if we all work together, we will still have enough wild vegetable paste to eat."
Lin Yiyi looked at Qin Xiangju with emotion: "Aunt, you are so kind to me. My younger brothers at home forced me to sell blood to support their schooling, but you...you are so kind."
Qin Xiangju said angrily: "Oh, my silly girl, you sell blood when they ask you to? Is there such a brother in the world? Even the daughter-in-law who uses the things from her husband's family to support her brother from her mother's family doesn't sell blood to support her brother from her mother's family. Daya, it's not that your aunt is trying to sow discord, but your brother's behavior is really... And you, you are too honest." It's good to have an honest man as a daughter-in-law. She likes honest daughters-in-law who won't go against her. Otherwise, the daughter-in-law is too smart and uses it to provoke her son, which will be a loss.
Lin Yiyi choked up and said, "I'm ignorant, I just worry about them, Aunt. In the future... after I marry Brother Xiao Yu, you have to teach me. My parents are gone, and they didn't have the time to teach me many things... I... wuwu..." Then she started crying again.
Qin Xiangju said, "Don't cry, don't cry. Don't worry, your aunt will teach you." The most important thing is that her daughter-in-law is of the same mind as her. She is becoming more and more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Lin Yiyi added: "But aunt, my parents just passed away, I... I still have to observe mourning. Do I have to wait three years before marrying Brother Xiao Yu?"
Qin Xiangju said, "You can get married during the mourning period, otherwise you have to wait a year." Although there is no such thing as mourning in ancient times, the younger generation will not get married or marry a wife immediately after the death of an elder in a normal family. They will wait a year. Or get married within 100 days of mourning. Qin Xiangju certainly didn't want to wait another year. If she waited another year, what would she do if the Lin family came to borrow food during this year? Don't lend it? The two families have been engaged, and it would be embarrassing to tell others. After all, there is no adult in the Lin family. If there is an adult, they will not be regarded as indifferent if they don't lend it, but if there is no adult, it will be different. If they borrow it, they don't know when the food can be returned. At present, there is no hope.
So Qin Xiangju thought that it would be best to give food in the form of betrothal money. But she underestimated her son's idea and added two kilograms of wedding candy and six yuan of betrothal money for nothing. However, thinking that the girl would eventually match her son's horoscope and the girl's horoscope was good, she gritted her teeth and agreed. Now seeing that the girl was so sensible, she felt a little better.
"Then...then I'll listen to your aunt in everything. It's just...I just sold blood today to raise money for my younger brothers' tuition. If I marry you, I'm afraid I won't be able to work in the next few days, otherwise the medical bills will be huge." Lin Yiyi said softly.
She still had the voice of a little girl, soft and a little tender, coquettish, but pleasant to the ear. Qin Xiangju had not thought much about Lin Yiyi's inability to work, but now that she had heard her explanation, she was worried about the medical expenses and felt that this girl was a clear-headed person. However, there were some things that needed to be discussed: "Daya, now that you are married, what are your plans for your brothers?"
Lin Yiyi said: "I... I don't know either. Aunt, do you have any ideas? Can you teach me?"
Qin Xiangju's eyes turned and she said, "Daya, I'm not saying anything to you. Your parents are gone, and you're going to get married. Your younger brother must be independent. Otherwise, who will be the head of the family? Don't you agree?"
Lin Yiyi nodded.
Qin Xiangju continued, "But if you want your brother to stand on his own feet, you have to be ruthless and not let them do whatever they want. Don't do things like selling blood to pay for their schooling. If this gets out, will your brother still be a man? How bad will the impact be? In the future, when your brother is looking for a wife, who will be willing to marry him if the girl knows that your brother drank the blood of his elder sister? Besides, girls like hardworking and capable men. Your brothers have to be hardworking and capable to find a good wife. What do you think?"
Lin Yiyi continued to nod.
Qin Xiangju was very satisfied: "So, Daya, people are not getting enough to eat now, who would want to study? Besides, even if people can eat enough, it costs money to study, right? Do you still want to sell blood? If you sell blood again, this matter will spread out, and they will not be able to live as human beings anymore."
Lin Yiyi shook her head hurriedly: "Aunt, I won't sell blood anymore. I will listen to you and won't harm them. I will discipline them and let them stand up on their own feet."
Qin Xiangju said: "That's right. As a sister, you must be a little fierce and show your sister's power. Only in this way can you suppress your brothers and make them sensible."
Lin Yiyi: "But auntie, I'm scared."
Qin Xiangju said, "Don't be afraid. If you don't understand something, just tell your aunt and I'll find a solution for you."
Lin Yiyi suddenly rushed over and hugged Qin Xiangju: "Aunt, you are so kind, you are just like my mother, you consider everything for me and my brother, you are so kind. I must have done a lot of good things in my previous life to be able to marry Brother Xiao Yu and have a mother-in-law like you."
Qin Xiangju was a little restrained when Lin Yiyi held her, and when she heard her say that she was considering her, she felt a little ashamed. She was not doing it for the Lin family, but for her own family. She didn't want her daughter-in-law to be a brother-supporting demon and use the subsidies from her husband's family to support her own family. However, after listening to Lin Yiyi's next words, she also felt very proud. Isn't she a good mother-in-law? Can ordinary mothers-in-law talk to their daughters-in-law like this? Looking at the daughter-in-law in her arms, she is a little thinner and shorter, but it doesn't matter, she can still grow up in the future. After all, she gave birth to three sons and a daughter, and none of them said good things about her, and none of them held her like this. Even her twin daughters, who have a personality like her, are impetuous. How can they be so delicate and weak?
Qin Xiangju patted Lin Yiyi's shoulder and said, "Daya, I am your future mother-in-law. We will be a family in the future. Of course I have to consider you."
Lin Yiyi said in Qin Xiangju's arms: "Aunt, can I discuss something with you?"
Qin Xiangju asked: "What's the matter? Tell me."
Lin Yiyi whispered, "Can you call me Yiyi (一一) instead of Daya? There are a lot of people called Daya in this team. If you call me that, people will think that Xiao Yu's wife is that Daya."
Qin Xiangju heard this and said, "Daya...Yi Yi's words make sense. Then I will call you Yi Yi from now on."
Lin Yiyi: “Yeah.”
Wow wow… Wow wow…
A weak cry came from outside the Xiao family to the yard. The Xiao family members hurried to see: "Oh, it's Dajun, why are you here?" Xiao's wife's voice rang out.
Lin Dajun said awkwardly: "Hello, Sister-in-law Xiao, my fifth brother cried and looked for my eldest sister, and his voice became hoarse from crying. We had no choice, so..."
Mrs. Xiao called towards Xiao Yu's door: "Daya, your brothers are here to pick you up." These days, no one likes someone to come to their home with their family, especially since it is a famine period.
Lin Yiyi also heard the noise outside. Lin Dajun's voice was not soft when he spoke, and Lin Wudi's crying also made Lin Yiyi worried. The crying voice of a child was suppressed, which was not good for the child. She hurriedly got out of bed. When she got out of bed, her body was light and she felt as if she had no strength.
Lin Yiyi gritted her teeth and walked out. She saw the four brothers of the Lin family standing, and the fifth brother Lin in the basket. The two-year-old child could already stand up, and now he was standing with the basket, his eyes red from crying.
When the Lin brothers saw Lin Yiyi coming out, Lin Erjun was the first to say, "Big sister, are you awake? Big sister, why didn't you come back after you woke up? We were all worried to death."
Lin Dajun: "That's right, sister, we are all very hungry, what should we do?"
Lin Sanjun remained silent. Lin Sijun supported Lin Wudi and looked at Lin Yiyi with grievance.
Qin Xiangju frowned as she looked at them. This family...
Mrs. Xiao said, "Daya, your brothers have come to see you. They care about you so much. Just go back with them."
No one expected that Sister Xiao would say this. But everyone understood what Sister Xiao said. If the Lin brothers did not leave and stayed here to eat, how much food would they have to eat?
Lin Yiyi nodded and said, "Sister-in-law is right. Although I just sold blood and am very weak, I know that sister-in-law is not trying to drive me away, but is concerned about my brothers. Thank you, sister-in-law."
Mrs. Xiao's face froze. Xiao Yu had already told them about Lin Yiyi selling blood, and she knew about it. But what did Lin Yiyi mean by this? Was she hinting at something? Mrs. Xiao wanted to say something, but she heard Lin Yiyi say softly, "Erjun, you are right. An elder sister is like a mother. I should take care of you, so I listened to you and sold blood. I sold 30 yuan, but... but when I came back, I was not in good health and was confused. I didn't know where I lost the money, so I had no money. Erjun, you are so kind and sensible, you won't be angry with me, right? Actually, I wanted to sell blood just now, but the doctor who bought blood said that if I sold blood again, I would die. I couldn't bear to leave you and didn't want to die."
