Chapter 48: The troublemaker - The sickly young lady's daily life of eating melons in the courtyard
Lin Qing slept until noon as usual, washed up, came out of the bedroom, and planned to go to the kitchen to have some breakfast.
As soon as she walked out the door, she saw Lin Shu washing clothes across the street. She was stunned for a moment. Huh? Why is Lin Shu here?
Oh, look at her, I almost forgot that Lin Shu also married into a big courtyard!
Oh, that's okay!
Lin Qing withdrew her gaze and walked into the kitchen. In the pot were the steamed buns made by Cen Xi for her and some pickled vegetables.
Lin Qing slowly finished her breakfast and then prepared her medicine.
"What's wrong? Are you jealous?" Mrs. Jiang was washing clothes in their room and asked when she saw Lin Shu's dazed look.
Mrs. Jiang didn't need Lin Shu to answer, and continued to talk to herself: "You can't be jealous, but there is nothing you can do. Who let you marry into our Jiang family? Our Jiang family has this condition. We don't have the conditions to let you eat and sleep all day long."
Lin Shu's eyes flashed with darkness, but soon returned to normal, "Sister-in-law, I don't think so!"
"I'm glad you didn't think that. You should hurry up and wash Dahu and Erhu's clothes! You have to wash them carefully. If their clothes are not washed clean, Mom will scold them."
This is what made Mrs. Jiang happiest, as she finally got rid of the second room’s clothes.
You know, after her brother and sister-in-law passed away, she was the one who washed the clothes for the second room. The two little brats in the second room had dirty clothes every day, unlike the two girls in their family, who only had to rub their clothes with water to make them clean, and if they didn't wash them clean, they would be scolded by their mother-in-law.
She really deserves it. She washes clothes for these two little rascals with good intentions every day, but she still gets scolded by her mother-in-law. It makes her feel so depressed!
Fortunately, starting from today, she no longer has to worry about this problem. She suddenly feels that the dozens of dollars she spent on the betrothal gift were not in vain. At least she can marry someone to help her share the housework!
Lin Shu looked at the water in the basin that had turned black and gray. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and his hands, which were rubbing the clothes, gradually moved more vigorously.
Of course, Jiang Dasao also saw it, and said with a gloating look: "Sister-in-law, don't wash them so vigorously. If the clothes are rubbed, there won't be any extra cloth to repair them!"
Lin Shu paused in his movements, lowered his head and remained silent, but his movements did become gentler.
"This sickly guy in the Cen family has started stewing medicine again. It stinks!" said Mrs. Jiang with disgust.
Looking at Lin Shu who was washing clothes next to him, thinking of the money that Lin Qing had cheated him of before, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is your aunt really seriously ill? Will she live long?"
There was a dark flash in Lin Shu's eyes. She wanted to answer yes, but Lin Qing did not have children in her previous life and lived for several decades. It was not like she said that she would not live long!
"No, my aunt is just weak, her life is not in danger!"
"Okay, I told you she cheated us out of our money last time!" Mrs. Jiang angrily threw the clothes in her hand into the basin.
Lin Shu was frightened by her reaction.
"No, we can't just let this go!"
Lin Shu thought she was going to find Lin Qing to settle the accounts, but she rushed back home.
Jiang Li was also washing clothes next to them and had just heard the conversation between the two. But at the moment when Jiang Dasao rushed back, she whispered, "The money paid by both our families was paid directly to the hospital. It was not paid directly to the Cen family, so it doesn't count as their cheating, right?" After all, they did not keep the money for themselves.
"Is that so?" Lin Shu's eyes flashed. She didn't expect it to be like this. A trace of regret flashed in her eyes.
Jiang Dasao rushed into Jiang Dama's room and said to her, "Mom, my sister-in-law just said that Lin Qingyi will not die at all. She was just pretending to be sick to cheat us out of money!"
Aunt Jiang had seen through Lin Qing. She knew that the lesson she had learned from her was only once. So she didn't want to pay any attention to Aunt Jiang who was trying to cause trouble for Lin Qing again.
"So what? She cheated openly, what do you say to them? They didn't keep the money, but used it directly to go to the hospital for treatment. What do you say? Will the hospital return the money to us?"
"Uh...then..." Let her pay us back.
"Besides, she's so weak that she falls down easily if you touch her. If you go to cause trouble for her later and she falls down again, won't you have to pay for it? Will you pay?"
"I..." Mrs. Jiang was left speechless.
"Remember this, don't mess with her again and stay away from her!" Aunt Jiang felt sorry for her wallet and she didn't want to lose money in vain.
Finally, Mrs. Jiang was so upset that she walked out with her head down.
Aunt Jiang looked at her lost back and couldn't help but spit. What a stupid person! With Lin Qing's mediocre acting skills, when she came to her senses, she immediately realized that she had acted in that scene. But like she said, even if Lin Qing had acted in that scene, as long as she went to the hospital and the doctor thought she was sick and needed treatment, they would have to pay money. So what she did was just a blatant conspiracy. Even if they knew, they couldn't do anything to her!
So if you can't afford to offend, can you just hide away?
For the sake of her wallet, no one in their family must mess with her again!
Although the public faucet was opposite Lin Qing's house, it was not very far away, so she heard the loud noise made by Mrs. Jiang just now.
This made her raise her eyebrows. Oh no? Could it be that someone was still unwilling to give up and wanted to come and provoke her?
She suddenly felt inexplicably excited!
Then not long after, she saw Mrs. Jiang rushing into Aunt Jiang's room angrily, and not long after, she came out of Aunt Jiang's room with her head down and dejected!
Tsk tsk, what a pity!
She knew that her dream was dashed, and that was a good thing, as it saved her trouble!
After Lin Qing finished drinking the medicine, he returned to the outer room of the bedroom, lay on the recliner and leisurely read the picture book that he had not finished yesterday.
I was so engrossed in watching the movie when I suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"Jiang family, get out here!"
Lin Qing sat up and looked outside. She saw a middle-aged woman with four or five big men standing at the gate of Jiang's house and shouting.
"Wang Honghua, come out here! Don't hide in the room and not come out! Come out here right now!"
Oh my god!!!
Are you here to cause trouble???
But who is Wang Honghua? ?
