Chapter 282: The Flowers Are Gone - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

"Dad, Mom, are you tired?" Lin Qing asked, looking at his parents who were still so excited after cleaning up for an entire afternoon.

"Not tired, not tired. What's so tiring about such a small thing?" Mother Lin shook her head.

"You say you're not tired, but you're sweating all over." Lin Qing looked at them sweating all over and felt very tired for them.

"It's okay, it's just too hot. I'm not that tired!" Mother Lin also wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"How about we plug in the fan and let it blow for a while?" Father and Mother Lin brought back the fan in a bag.

The main reason was that they already had one fan at home, and if they had one more, other neighbors might be interested in borrowing it from them. So when they brought the fan back, they put a bag around the fan so that others would think the big bag was just luggage.

"Why use the fan? It will be cool soon. Why waste electricity?" After wiping the sweat from her forehead, Lin's mother directly refused.

"That's right. It will be cool soon. Why use a fan?" Lin's father also agreed.

Lin Qing finally understood that his parents just wouldn't listen.

"Okay! Now that you've packed up, sit down and take a break. Don't be busy anymore."

Lin Qing walked out shaking his head helplessly. The old couple couldn't stop at all and were busy running around as soon as they came back.

"What's going on? Have they stopped?" Cen Xi asked.

"They did stop, but I asked them to use the fan to cool down for a while, but they refused again. They were sweating all over. I felt so tired for them."

"How about we go out and buy some popsicles to help them cool down?"

Lin Qing's eyes lit up, "Okay, let's go together!"

"Okay!" Cen Xi also wanted to go out for a walk with her. He remembered that they had not been to the supply and marketing cooperative here together for a long time.

"Hey! The young couple are going out!" Aunt Gu asked casually when she saw them.

Lin Qing smiled and said, "Yes, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some popsicles for my parents to cool down."

After Lin Qing answered, he pulled Cen Xi away.

Aunt Gu slapped her mouth in frustration, "I told you not to talk too much, I told you not to talk too much."

"Grandma, I want to eat a popsicle!" Gu Dabao, who was playing nearby, had very sharp ears. He heard the popsicle and shouted immediately.

"Jiang Li, hurry up, Dabao wants to eat popsicles!" This stepmother is still a mother. If the child wants to eat popsicles, he has to find the mother. Why should he find her?

At the Jiang family opposite, Jiang Dahu and Jiang Erhu also started to make a noise. However, this time Jiang Yang was also at home. As soon as Jiang's mother called Lin Shu, Jiang Yang asked Lin Shu to go buy it.

"Go ahead, Mom's calling."

Lin Shu bit her lip in embarrassment, "But, but I have no money."

"No money? Where did your money go?" Jiang Yang frowned.

You have to know that Lin Shu worked for a full month and her salary was more than 20 yuan, but she was paid just before the holiday, so where did she go with the money?

Lin Shu didn't dare to say it.

"Tell me, where did you go with the money?" Jiang Yang asked seriously.

Lin Shu just gave up and said, "I've used it up."

"After you used it up, where did you use it?"

“…I bought a piece of clothing.”

"Why are the clothes so expensive? Also, do you have cloth coupons?" Jiang Yang didn't really believe her.

Lin Shu muttered quietly, "It's so expensive because it doesn't use cloth coupons."

"What did you say?" Jiang Yang frowned. He wanted to hear her explanation, but then he felt that it didn't matter whether she explained or not. "Where are the clothes you bought?"

Seeing Jiang Yang's unhappy expression, Lin Shu felt a little flustered. She subconsciously followed his instructions and went to take out the new clothes. "This one."

Jiang Yang looked at the floral dress in front of him and suddenly felt dizzy. "...Twenty yuan for this?"

"Twenty-five." Lin Shu said with his head down.

"Okay! Twenty-five is twenty-five, but there's still three dollars left. Your salary is twenty-eight dollars, and there's still three dollars left!"

"Where do I have the money? Didn't I use up the three yuan to buy things when I went back to my mother's house two days ago?" Lin Shu felt quite resentful when he said this. This time, neither her mother's house nor her husband's family prepared anything, so they had to buy things themselves.

Their family has to hand over one person's salary, and this time their parents-in-law still need them to prepare things themselves. How can a husband-in-law's family be like this?

Jiang Yang was also choked by her words. He knew of course that his mother did it on purpose, but he did not object at the time. His mother had always been resentful of Lin Shu for taking her own salary, so it was good for her to vent her anger. After all, they bought the house themselves and paid for the big house themselves, so there was nothing unfair about it.

"Alright, alright. I'll give you the money. Go buy them for Dahu and Erhu!" Jiang Yang also knew that there was no point in pursuing the matter any further.

I just paid for it myself and asked Lin Shu to buy it.

He had no choice but to give it to her. Because of this kind of thing, people now say that Gu Hang across the street married a good wife, while Jiang Yang married a vicious and stingy wife. Everyone envied Gu Hang across the street, but felt sorry for him.

He didn't want to lose in this regard, "Go buy it for Dahu, Erhu, Damei, and Ermei as well."

Jiang Yang wanted Lin Shu to show some magnanimity so as to turn his image around.

"I understand." Lin Shu still felt a little depressed.

"You don't have to rush back. If you meet someone, you can chat with them."

"Ah? Why? It's so hot outside." Lin Shu didn't want to go out in the sun at all.

"Why are you so stupid? Don't you look at the person across from you? She's walking slowly, letting others know that she's a good stepmother. Don't you want to?"

"I..." Lin Shu really didn't think about this aspect, "Okay, I know!"

Lin Shu walked out of the room, and Aunt Jiang started to be sullen again, "Hey, really, asking you to spend some money is like asking you to die. What? You're dragging your feet because you're unwilling to do it!"

"Why would I be unwilling? Aren't you ready to go now?" Lin Shu snorted proudly and turned away.

Jiang Li had already left before her, and Lin Shu immediately quickened her pace because she didn't want to fall behind.

Lin Qingke had no idea that what she had said so deliberately would actually cause such an effect.

Yes, she did it on purpose. Who told those aunts in front of her to treat her mother like that?

Only Su's mother did not suffer. After all, Su Dazhuang and Su Erzhuang had gone out to fool around somewhere long ago and were not at home at all, so she escaped the disaster.
