Chapter 68
The mother and daughter of the Sun family ate noodles and made the stove dirty. The dishes and chopsticks were piled in the sink. There was grease on the kitchen floor and footprints on the west. The stove was covered with greasy dirt.
Although Sun's father fell ill, he was usually in good health and had no serious illness. This time, the stimulation was too great, and the blood and qi surged, so he went to the hospital. He was in the hospital for two days and was discharged home after his body recovered to the fullest.
He was really worried because there was no one to support him at home.
Sun's father knew very well that his mother had been arrogant all her life and had a good life and was respected by others. Before, there was a distant relative living in the family. She was a relative to the outside world, but in fact, she was just helping with the housework. As soon as Lin Hongna came into the family, the distant relative went home to retire. The two daughters and the remaining son were also useless. The family depended on him to support the family. If he got into trouble, half the sky would fall.
The fact was just as Sun's father expected. Sun Jialiang completed the discharge procedures. Lin Hongna carried the luggage bag, and the couple supported Sun's father on the left and right to walk home.
Sun's father was very proud. The previous incident almost destroyed the face he had accumulated over the years. This illness really aged him a lot. At the age of over 50, his hair turned a lot white. He hadn't eaten for two days and couldn't walk properly. He walked forward step by step. This matter was not Sun's fault. Sun's father looked frail and frail, which made the doctors and nurses in the health hospital sigh.
Sun's father saw the eyes of the people, and a gleam of light flashed in his old eyes, and he staggered a few steps.
The three members of Sun's family returned home quietly. As soon as Sun's father entered the house, he frowned when he saw the garbage cans piled up in the yard. The originally neat living room was also messy, and there were empty bowls and chopsticks left on the coffee table.
Sun's mother was tired from all the hard work, and she slept in the room with her hair disheveled. The eldest and second daughters
of the Sun's family were also sleeping soundly in their rooms. The three of them had turned a good home into a pigsty. Sun's father was so angry that he immediately lost his temper and scolded the three of them. He immediately removed Sun's mother's housekeeper rights and gave them to Lin Hongna.
Sun's mother had been a housewife all her life, and what she was most proud of was that her husband was considerate to her. Who would have thought that after she was over 50 years old, Sun's father would turn against her and give the housekeeper rights to her daughter-in-law from the countryside who she did not even consider?
Isn't this a slap in the face?
The grandson's mother was so angry that her face turned red. She scolded the grandson's father without mercy, saying that he had no conscience and was disdainful of his wife.
The grandson's father didn't really want Lin Hongna to be the head of the family. He just wanted to teach the grandson's mother a lesson. Seeing her like this, he was disappointed but determined to let his daughter-in-law be the head of the family.
The grandson's mother was in tears. The eldest daughter of the grandson's family wanted to stand up for her mother, but the grandson's father shouted, "This is the family affair of the grandson's family. What qualifications do you, a daughter who married out, have to interfere in your mother's family affairs! A daughter who is married is like water spilled out. Jiayu, if you make trouble again, don't blame me for not thinking about the father-daughter relationship!"
The meaning behind the words of the grandson's father was very obvious. If she made trouble again, he would not recognize her as a daughter.
Sun Jiayu's face turned pale instantly, and her mother-in-law was so angry that she fell backwards, "This is outrageous. My mother-in-law is still alive, and my daughter-in-law wants to seize her power. Oh my God, what did I do in my last life? It's so unjust..." Before her mother-in-law
finished her words, her father-in-law's eyes were red. He endured the pain in his throat and said angrily, "Stop arguing. It's meaningless to live like this. If you don't want to live anymore, let's go to the street to get a divorce certificate tomorrow!"
As soon as these words came out, her mother-in-law was like an old hen with its neck strangled, and she was speechless.
What is the old man doing? She was just making a fuss, how did it become a divorce?
"Dad, don't be angry, Mom didn't mean that. Let's sit down and have a rest."
Lin Hongna smiled in her heart, but on the surface she supported her grandfather to comfort her grandmother.
Grandfather was relieved, and Sun Jialiang also persuaded him, "Yes, Dad, you sit down first. You just got out of the hospital and your body hasn't recovered yet."
Sun Jialiang wanted to excuse his mother. After all, they were his biological mother and sister.
Lin Hongna was not stupid enough to add fuel to the fire at this time. Adding fuel to the fire turned into a fire. After several lessons in the past, she was smarter.
Sun Jialiang helped Grandfather and then helped Grandmother.
Sun's mother would never show off in front of her own son. Sun Jiayu glared at Lin Hongna fiercely. Don't think she is a fool. Ever since Lin Hongna married into the Sun family, the Sun family's life has taken a turn for the worse. Lin Hongna is a disaster star! She brings disaster to every family she marries into. She is a born bad luck bitch!
Maybe it was Lin Hongna who prevented her husband from finding a tofu girl!
Sun Jiayu looked like she wanted to eat Lin Hongna.
Sun Jiarong, the second daughter of the Sun family, was frightened and quietly pulled her sister's clothes.
With grandfather in charge, Sun Jiayu could not act recklessly. Grandmother came to her senses this time and adopted a gentle policy towards grandfather, saying that she was old enough and it was right to give power to her daughter-in-law, but her daughter-in-law was too young now. Young people always spend money lavishly. It would be better for her to be the head of the family and let her daughter-in-law learn from her. After half a year or a year, she could let Lin Hongna be the head of the family.
Grandmother's words made sense no matter where they were put.
Grandfather nodded.
Lin Hongna had already known grandmother's temper. This old woman's temper had to be followed, otherwise there would be trouble at home.
Grandfather asked Lin Hongna for her opinion. She cursed in her heart, but agreed with a smile on her face.
Sun's mother immediately laughed and felt comfortable, praising Lin Hongna a few times.
Lin Hongna was so understanding, and Sun Jialiang was also a little more friendly to her when he returned to his room at night.
At the end of March, the town was quiet at night, the moonlight outside the window was white, and the courtyard of the grain station was dark without any lights. It was late at night and everyone fell asleep.
Lin Hongna came to ask about Lin Hongwu's progress in monitoring the Gu family.
Lin Hongwu lay on the kang with his legs crossed, and first complained, "How can the old Gu family be approached? Gu Shi'an was a scout, and he can detect any disturbance outside. His family also raised a dead orange cat, which is so fierce. I was squatting outside the fence, and the dead cat suddenly jumped out, almost scaring me to death."
Lin Hongwu was caught by the orange cat when he was a child. Lin Hongna also knew that she really couldn't catch it. It was just an orange cat. A big man, an eight-foot-tall man, could also be scared by a cat.
She really looked down on Lin Hongwu's cowardly appearance. What's wrong with the men in the Lin family? One is more shameful than the other!
"You stayed in the countryside for several days and didn't even go into the Gu family's house?"
Lin Hongna's face was dark, and her voice was filled with anger.
Lin Hongwu said nonchalantly, "No, you just asked me to keep an eye on you, and I came back when I couldn't keep an eye on you."
The mountain ravine in Gujiaao was so cold at night, and it was foggy, freezing me to death!
Lin Hongna was so angry that she jumped to her feet. How could that little bitch Lin Yao get the money out if he didn't leave and no one was watching him?
Anyway, Lin Hongwu said that he would not watch
him no matter what. Lin Hongna had no choice but to find another way.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the full-month banquet of the eldest grandson of Uncle Zhang's family.
In the years of famine, ordinary families were worried about filling their stomachs, and they were not happy to have a boy in the family.
One more person meant one more mouth to feed.
If a girl came, it would be even more unwelcome, because there were many baby girls who were drowned at birth in the mountain ditches.
This was the first grandson of the Zhang family after all. The concept of offspring was very important in the rural families, and the birth of the eldest son and grandson had to be celebrated.
Besides, the Zhang family was well off. Uncle Zhang's eldest son, Zhang Shun, worked in the town, his second son, Zhang Ping, was in junior high school, and Uncle Zhang was the team leader in the village. Their family was better off than the average town dweller. But no matter how well off they were,
they still lacked food.
Zhang Cuilan prepared five catties of black flour and two catties of corn flour for Uncle Zhang, and Lin Yao brought a bag of brown sugar, which was square like a brick.
"Mom, my uncle's family has no shortage of meat, and brown sugar can replenish qi and blood. It's hard to get sugar coupons in the countryside, but we have connections. You can buy it when you want to eat it. I have a piece of brown sugar, but I don't need it for now. Give it to your uncle."
Zhang Cuilan smiled, "Such a big bag will take your uncle a lifetime."
Lin Yao simply said, "That's not that exaggerated. It's just a square block of brown sugar. Drink a bowl today, and make a pot tomorrow, and it will be finished in a few months."
Zhang Cuilan nodded her forehead, "You're almost a mother, and you still speak so bluntly."
Lin Yao smiled and snuggled into Zhang Cuilan's arms, twisting into a piece of candy, "Who asked Comrade Cuilan to love me."
Zhang Cuilan hugged Lin Yao, and the mother and daughter talked in private for a while.
Today was a day off, so Gu Shian went home, borrowed an old donkey cart and took his family to the Dongfanghong Production Team.
In late March and early April, the sunshine in the mountains gradually warmed up, and the green hills along the river bank also turned green. The jeep drove on the road, and the green willow branches were reflected in the clear stream. The Dongfanghong Production Team planted dozens of acres of rapeseed flowers, and the yellow rapeseed flowers bloomed all over the hillside. Lin Yao followed Gu Shidong and squeezed his head, lying on the edge of the car and chirping and staring. Occasionally, a kingfisher flew over the rapeseed flowers, and they would be startled for a long time.
When they arrived at Uncle Zhang's house, Gu Shidong jumped out of the car first, and Shuanzi from Uncle Two came over. The two little brats chatted for a while and ran away together.
Aunt Two came over with little Niuniu in her arms. After not seeing her for a few months, Niuniu still had a cute little face and smiled like a little apple.
"Aunt Two."
"Hey, Yaoyao's belly is a little bit big, come in quickly."
In the house, Zhang Cuilan drank the boiled water handed over by her eldest sister-in-law, wiped the corners of her mouth, took out the cornmeal, black flour, and brown sugar she brought, and finally took out a bundle of solid floral cloth from the straw basket.
"Sister-in-law, take these."
"Sister, what are you doing? Food is expensive in March, and these are good food. We have everything we need at home, take them back quickly."
"Okay, sister-in-law, stop pushing me. I know what's going on at home. Look, Shunzi's sleeves are a little short. This is not a good material. It's a defective product eliminated by the supply and marketing cooperative. There's nothing wrong with it, but the pattern is not dyed well, so it can't be sold at a high price outside, so Chunmei brought it home. It's spring, make a blouse for Shunzi and a bellyband for Chouxiaozi. Which young wife doesn't wear a new bellyband after giving birth to a baby?" The
eldest aunt of the Zhang family felt warm in her heart, "Okay, I'll remember you and keep it!"
Zhang Cuilan smiled and picked up the things, "Don't remember my kindness, Hongtang Yaoyao gave it to me, and the fabric was brought back by Chunmei. Just remember the good things of the children."
The second aunt also came in to make jokes.
Zhang Cuilan: "Second sister-in-law, when Haiyan gets married and has children, she will still have her share."
Haiyan, the eldest daughter of my second aunt's family, is also 20 years old. She is of a certain age and has a clear mind. She refuses to see any of the matchmakers in the countryside and finds a partner in the town.
The partner also works in a pharmaceutical factory. The young man is nice and handsome. His sister is married and his parents are not pretentious. It's just that the place they live in is too small.
Fortunately, the couple both work in the pharmaceutical factory. After they get married, the factory will give them a house and their wages will also increase.
Haiyan's partner's family are all workers. This condition is quite good in the town.
Speaking of this, the second aunt smiled like a flower and clapped her hands, "Okay, I'll wait."
There was no wine or sugar at the full moon party of the Sun family, just a family sitting together to eat a meal.
The meal was quite rich, with a stir-fried cabbage, a pot of wild rabbit stewed with potatoes, a bowl of mixed grain noodles, and wild vegetable porridge, but it was much better than ordinary families.
Zhang's aunt and a few others were busy in the kitchen, and Zhang's eldest and second uncles were foddering in the yard. The mules and cows raised in the village were fed with sorghum stalks, soybean stalks, and peanut vines. They were chopped into pieces with a trowel and then poured into the stone trough in baskets.
Zhang Shun and his brother also helped at home. When Gu Shian came, the
three brothers were one to pick up fodder, one to move sorghum straw, one to pick up fodder, and one to deliver it to the cowshed in the village. They worked perfectly together. Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhang had nothing to do.
Uncle Zhang smoked a bag of cigarettes and gave Uncle Zhang a look.
"Second brother, how about we play a game of stone chess in the backyard?"
"I'm not afraid of you?"
"Bet a pack of 8-cent cigarettes?"
"8-cent cigarettes are too low-grade. If you want to come, come and get a pack of 1.2 cents!"
"Okay, second brother, you are rich, do you have money in your pocket?"
"No, Haiyan's boyfriend just gave me a pack of cigarettes."
Uncle Zhang said proudly.
Uncle Zhang hissed, "It's better to have a concubine. I have a bunch of boys in my room. Hey! What are you looking at? Why don't you go to work? Look at how miserable you are. Go, go away!"
Brothers Zhang Shun and Zhang Ping: "......."
Zhang Shun's wife was breastfeeding in the room. Both mother and son were sleepy. It was not until noon that Zhang Shun's wife came out with the sleepy little fat boy.
The little fat boy of Sun's family was only three months old. Because the family wanted to give him a good name, the full name had not been given yet. The nickname was Doubao because his mother liked to eat Northeast sticky bean buns.
Little Zhang Doubao was born white and chubby, babbling while waving his fists and sucking his fingers.
The motherly love for Lin Yao, the future mother, overflowed, and she couldn't help wanting to hug the chubby boy.
Zhang Shun's wife smiled and handed the little chubby boy to her, "Hold the head with your left hand, and the butt with your right hand."
Lin Yao's body was fragrant and soft, and little Zhang Doubao liked her very much. As soon as he was in Lin Yao's arms, he babbled and leaned into her arms.
Zhang Shun's wife came over to hug him, and the chubby boy waved his little hands and pushed his mother.
Zhang Shun's wife didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted her son's chubby butt, "You little stinky boy, do you dislike your mother?"
Little Zhang Doubao babbled in response, and everyone in the yard laughed.
In the evening, the old Gu family returned home. Aunt Zhang sent a basket of raspberries and ground loquats. Raspberries are called March bubbles in Yunshui County. They grow in the back mountains. They are similar to strawberries. It is ripe at this time. They taste sour and sweet. The children in the village go to pick them all over the mountains and fields when they have free time. Ground loquats are called ground fruits. They can be found by crawling in the fields.
Lin Yao likes to eat sour and sweet. When she gets home, she washes them and eats half a bowl. She doesn't even notice that the juice is on her pretty face.
Gu Shian came back from taking a shower, wiped his hair with a towel, and came over to wipe her face, "Is it so delicious?"
"Yeah, it's delicious, do you want one?"
Lin Yao brought the March bubble she had taken a bite of to Gu Shian's mouth, and Gu Shian ate most of it in one bite.
Lin Yao was so angry
that she grabbed him and hit him. Gu Shian was not afraid of her little strength, and hugged him and kissed him.
"Did the baby bother you?"
Lin Yao snorted, "The baby is very well-behaved, but you are not honest!"
At this time, Gu Shian was only wearing a loose pajamas that Lin Yao made for him to wear at home. Lin Yao secretly rubbed and touched his abdominal muscles and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Oh my god, this guy is about to become a father, why is his figure still so attractive?
