Chapter 7



Lin Erjun looked embarrassed. What else could he say after Lin Yiyi said that? Could he say, "Sister, are you selling blood again?" If he said that, wouldn't that force his sister to die? If this got out, would he still be a human being? Lin Erjun looked at the Xiao family and found that the people next door were also whispering. His face, which had no flesh, turned red.

The four Lin brothers came to the door, carrying baskets, and the Xiao family's neighbors also saw it. Because now is a time to reduce consumption and physical strength, everyone basically stays at home.

At this time, Lin Yiyi said these words, and naturally some people heard them. Everyone was shocked. The younger brother asked his sister to sell blood for money? What was going on? Of course, some people were curious, can blood really be sold for money?

Although Lin Erjun was selfish and clever at this time, and would plot against his elder sister, he was only 13 years old, and was not yet shameless and ruthless as he would be in the later plots. So when faced with other people's whispers, he just thought they were talking about him, and he hurriedly said, "Sister, I was wrong, I shouldn't have let you sell blood, don't go anymore, nothing is more important than you, sister." He could also say nice things.

Lin Yiyi held Lin Erjun's hand with emotion: "Erjun, you are so sensible. Don't worry, sister will listen to you and will never sell blood again." Then, she held Lin Dajun's hand again, "Dajun, sister sold blood once, and now my health is not good. This family still depends on you. As the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother, and the eldest brother is like a father. You are the eldest brother of the Lin family, and the future of your younger brothers also depends on you. Sister... Sister is really useless. I can't sell blood a second time. Woo woo..." As she spoke, she choked up.

Lin Dajun had a big mouth but could not make any sound. Everyone knew that an elder brother is like a father, but it was impossible for him to sell blood like his sister.

"Dajun?" Lin Yiyi looked at Lin Dajun, "Could it be...could it be that you are so ignorant? So unkind? So unwilling to take care of your younger brothers?" Lin Dajun's presence is usually not as strong as Lin Erjun's. Among the brothers in the family, Lin Erjun is the one who comes up with ideas for everything, and the other brothers listen to him. But this does not mean that the other brothers have no selfish motives. It's just that Lin Erjun's ideas are beneficial to their interests, so they listen to him. But once their interests conflict, then... will they still listen to Lin Erjun?

First of all, Lin Dajun is the eldest brother. What will he do when he has to take down the responsibility of being a father?

Lin Dajun wanted to say something but stopped himself. He saw the other brothers were looking at him and his face turned red.

Wow...

At this time, Lin Wudi started crying again.

Lin Yiyi quickly picked up Lin Wudi. A two-year-old child was not heavy, and due to malnutrition, she was small and looked light. Lin Yiyi held her and coaxed her: "Fifth brother, good boy... Sister is here? Fifth brother, good boy..." She held her and coaxed her softly, with a different gentleness than before.

Xiao Yu came out with a bowl: "Let Fifth Brother drink some warm water first."

People these days are used to drinking cold water (mountain water), and the Xiao family is no exception. They have warm boiled water now, but it was boiled because they wanted to make ginseng tea.

Lin Yiyi: “Yeah.” She sat on a stool nearby and fed Lin Wudi some water while coaxing him, “Be good, Wudi. Don’t cry, I’m here…”

Xiao Yu watched from the side, watching the thin girl coaxing the child gently with her gentle and sweet voice. He thought that if she had her own child, she would definitely be this gentle.

Lin Wudi's voice was hoarse from crying, and he was naturally a little impatient to drink water. He drank it in a hurry, and he was choked and started coughing. Lin Yiyi wanted to find a place to put the bowl, and Xiao Yu said, "Give it to me." Lin Yiyi gave the bowl to Xiao Yu, and she gently patted Lin Wudi's chest.

Qin Xiangju was somewhat satisfied. Although her daughter-in-law was young, she was good at taking care of children.

Qin Xiangju looked at Lin Yiyi, then at Lin Dajun and the others, thought for a while and said, "Since everyone is here, let's have dinner here tonight, and talk about Xiaoyuer and Daya...Yiyi's marriage. Although Yiyi's parents are gone, fortunately Yiyi is the eldest sister and can make her own decision." Qin Xiangju said this to indirectly tell Lin Yiyi that she can make her own decision on her marriage and doesn't have to listen to her younger brothers.

However, this made Xiao's wife a little unhappy. First of all, everyone was hungry, so why did they have to entertain these burdens? Secondly, if the second uncle got married at this time, wouldn't there be one more mouth to feed in the family? There was already one more mouth to feed from the younger uncle's wife, and this was all the food that was deducted from them.

Lin Erjun: "Big sister and Brother Yu's marriage?"

Qin Xiangju said, "Yes, Yi Yi is 15 years old, and can get married. The main reason is that our Xiao Yu'er is 22 years old this year. Other families have children of this age, so our Xiao Yu'er can't delay any longer." Qin Xiangju's words also have a way. She didn't say that Lin Yiyi was going to get married, but said that her son was going to get married. If she said that Lin Yiyi was going to get married, then people would say that Lin Yiyi got married just after her parents died, and that she was unfilial. If she said that the Xiao family was going to get married, then others would have a hard time saying anything. After all, whose son is 22 years old and is not in a hurry to get married? And the Xiao family doesn't have to mourn for the Lin family.

Lin Erjun immediately said, "But my parents just passed away, and my eldest sister is going to get married. Isn't this a bad idea?" He knew in his heart that if my eldest sister got married, what would happen to the family in the future? Who would do the laundry and cooking? So... Lin Erjun's eyes flashed with calculation, and my eldest sister couldn't get married.

Lin Yiyi immediately acted as if she was touched: "Second Army, I know you are worried about me. I don't want to get married, but if I don't get married, we will have no food and no money. My aunt said that she would use 50 kilograms of food and 6 yuan as a betrothal gift. I originally thought that with 50 kilograms of food, our family would have food to eat, and with 6 yuan, at least the tuition fee could be used. But now, my sister has figured it out. I won't get married. Even if our family has no food and no money, at least I will have a good life. "We are all together, even if I starve to death, I won't marry. At worst... I can sell blood again. If I sell all my blood and die, I still have Dajun. Dajun is the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is like a father. He will definitely be willing to sell blood. If Dajun sells all his blood and dies, I still have you, Erjun. If we all die, Erjun, you will be the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is like a father... Erjun, you are so kind. From now on, Sanjun, Sijun and Wudi will all be handed over to you. Even if I sell my blood and die, I will be relieved. Dajun, don't you agree?"

Lin Dajun said nothing. He recalled what Lin Yiyi said. If his eldest sister sold all her blood and died, he would be the eldest in the family and it would be his turn to sell blood... No, he would never sell blood. He didn't want to die. However, if his eldest sister got married, the 50 kilograms of food and betrothal money, and the 6 yuan betrothal gift would all belong to their family. They would have food to eat and would not have to sell blood. Moreover...if his eldest sister married into the Xiao family, if their family ran out of food, they could come to the Xiao family. In this way, it would be better for his eldest sister to marry than not to marry.

After Lin Dajun figured it out, he said, "Sister, I agree that you should marry Brother Yu."

Lin Erjun: "Brother?"

Lin Dajun said: "I am the eldest brother, an elder brother is like a father, you have to listen to me."

Lin Erjun was a good talker. He used the saying that an elder sister is like a mother to convince his elder sister to sell her blood to support them in their studies. His elder brother used the saying that an elder brother is like a father to pressure him, and he could not refute.

Lin Yiyi said, "Dajun, how could you do this? So you also want to force my sister to get married. Do you think my sister is useless because she is in poor health after selling blood and cannot go to work or labor? Dajun, you... you have disappointed my sister so much. How can my sister trust you to be the head of the Lin family? You... Erjun, look at Dajun. As soon as my sister is in poor health, he is afraid that my sister will drag him down. He is really... really unkind and heartless. I... I might as well run into a wall and die in front of my parents' graves."

Everyone was stunned. They always felt that there was something wrong with what Lin Yiyi said, as if the logic was not right. But after listening to it, they felt that there was no problem.

The most shocked person was Xiao Yu. From what he had seen today, he thought his fiancée was a playful and kind girl, but now...

Lin Erjun immediately said, "Brother, this is your fault. How could you force my elder sister to marry? Even if my elder sister is not in good health, we brothers can raise her together. How could you drive her away?" Lin Erjun had not thought of Lin Dajun's plan. He did not know that Lin Dajun planned to let Lin Yiyi marry the Xiao family and let the Xiao family raise them. After all, Lin Erjun was not very old, so he did not dare to think about plotting against the Xiao family. So, the two brothers did not think alike and had different ideas.

When Lin Dajun heard what Lin Erjun said to him, he was about to explain. Then he heard Lin Yiyi say, "Erjun, you can't say that about Dajun. Dajun is the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is like a father. You are saying that Dajun is wrong and accusing Dajun in front of everyone. Where do you put Dajun's face? Even if he is wrong, you can just say it in a nice way. How can you blame him? What if everyone hears what you say and mistakenly thinks that he really wants to drive me away? "

Lin Erjun: "I..." What's wrong with him? Didn't he say that because of what his elder sister said? Why did he become the one who was at fault when his elder sister said that?

Lin Yiyi interrupted Lin Erjun and said to Lin Dajun, "Dajun, you are the eldest brother. An elder brother is like a father. You must show the majesty of a father. Now that your parents are gone, you are the head of the family. You cannot let your younger brothers climb over you. Otherwise, if they climb over you now, they will be even more unruly when they grow up and will bully you even more."
