Lin Qingping had no expression on her face. "Chengzi bought the cookies for Zhiyuan."
"Girl, why don't you understand?" Her mother looked at her as if she was a fool. "This little wild boy is not worthy of eating such a good thing? What good can he get from eating you, a stranger? Will he still remember you when he grows up?"
When Lin Qingping heard this, the hideous face of her nephew before his death reappeared before her eyes again.
Yes, an outsider.
But, when she was about to die, it was this outsider who remembered her...
Well, of course, she treated herself with all her heart and people remembered her, but what they remembered was only her property...
She saw that Zhiyuan turned his head away when he heard the words "little wild boy".
Lin Qingping immediately snatched the milk cup from her brother's hand and put away all the biscuits on the table.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Her mother was unhappy.
Lin Qingping picked up all the things and turned back to say seriously, "I don't want to hear the words 'little wild brat' again! He is the child we Chengzi raised as our own son! He is the biological son of Chengzi and me!"
Her mother said awkwardly, "I didn't say that. Didn't my acquaintances in the surrounding villages all say that? Can you control their mouths one by one?"
Lin Qingping sneered, "No matter what others say, I really can't control their mouths! But, people like this, don't even think about entering my house! Whoever dares to say that to me, I will slap him in the face!"
Her mother was angry. "So, you are going to slap me in the face today? For a little wild... an outsider?"
Lin Qingping paused, and asked Zhiyuan to go out and play first. After he walked away, she said, "Because you are my mother, let it go today, but next time, you don't have to come."
This kind of mother-daughter relationship is not positive, and she doesn't want her children to see it.
Her mother was so angry that she stood up and was about to leave, but her brother pulled her clothes and stopped her.
Her mother then sat down again and said calmly, "Forget it. After all, I am your mother. There is no such thing as a mother and daughter holding a grudge overnight."
Lin Qingping knew that her mother would not come to her for no reason, so she did not ask and just waited.
Her mother started to talk. It turned out that she had listened to someone's instigation and wanted her brother to join the army. She said how good the army was and asked Gu Juncheng to help get him in.
She glanced at her brother. To be honest, if her brother was ambitious and capable, she would also hope that he would have a bright future. However, it was rare to find such a delicate boy in the countryside. He had been spoiled by his mother and father since he was a child. She and her second sister supported the family. Her brother could not even do farm work. During the busy farming season, he would go to the fields to harvest wheat and would be so tired that he would go to sleep under the shade of a tree.
With this in mind, can you afford the hardships in the army?
She just said, "Okay, this is a good way out, let's go."
"Then Chengzi..." Her mother looked happy.
"Go sign up on your own. Don't mention Chengzi's name anywhere. Don't use Chengzi's name to build relationships everywhere. If I find out, you won't be able to enter the Gu family anymore."
Her mother's face changed. "How can that be? If Chengzi doesn't take care of him, then won't the training be very hard after he goes in? When has your brother ever suffered hardship?"
Lin Qingping knew what was going on. "You mean you want him to join the army and enjoy life?"
"Of course. We have a relationship like Chengzi, so why should we suffer? Just arrange for him to be by Chengzi's side and give him a small military officer position..."
What is her mother dreaming about!
"What are you thinking about? Chengzi doesn't have that ability. He is just an ordinary soldier! Besides, no one goes in without suffering, and there is no such precedent. It is fair and just. If you want to take the back door, it is impossible!" Lin Qingping said bluntly.
This made her mother angry.
"Okay, I think I raised you in vain!" Her mother stood up and pulled her brother to leave, "Now that you're married well, you don't care about your family anymore. Don't forget, without us helping you to find this marriage, you could be so good. Okay, we can't afford this marriage of yours, and we won't try to marry you anymore!"
Lin Qingping felt very uncomfortable when she saw her mother’s furious expression. This was her own mother!
"Mom, let my brother review his studies for two or three years and try to get into college."
Lin Qingping knew her brother's path in life.
Later, she forced Gu Juncheng to find comrades-in-arms and found a factory for her brother to work. Her brother spent his days idling in the factory. Later, when her business became successful, her brother left the factory and asked her for money to invest. He was basically a prodigal son and lost everything he did. Later, she simply supported her brother. She supported her brother for his entire life and also supported her brother's children...
"Hmph! If you don't want to help, then don't help! Stop pretending to be an educated person! Okay, you are so noble and educated, we country people are not worthy of you! Can't this relative just stay away in the future?" Her mother pulled her brother away.
Lin Qingping sighed secretly. This was her final advice to her brother.
Her brother can't carry anything on his shoulders or hands, and it's not difficult to get into college these few years. If he can find a way out through studying, maybe his life can be changed, but...
She shook her head. No matter what, she had to pull her sister out of this miserable life!
After thinking it over, I decided to cook first and then go to town to buy some things. I wondered how my sister’s school supplies were prepared, so I had to go and check.
When she went to the yard to get vegetables, she found that the basket of vegetables she had just picked from the field was gone...
She smiled bitterly.
Her mother's greedy character is something that she will never be able to change in her lifetime.
She cooked the meal quickly, while also thinking about her future path in her mind. After the meal was ready, she had a general plan in mind.
In her previous life, she met so many people, some of whom she didn't want to see again, and some of whom she had to find back.
Thinking that Zhiyuan had been wronged again today, I made his favorite pumpkin pie while cooking.
After cooking, she served the rice and went to the fields to deliver it to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, then called Zhiyuan back to eat.
But after searching around, I couldn't find Zhiyuan.
Thinking of Zhiyuan's experience of running away from home, she panicked and shouted all over the village. Only the neighbors heard her and told her, "Isn't Zhiyuan lying in your yard? Why are you shouting outside?"
Lin Qingping hurried back and, sure enough, found it in an old tree stump behind the house.
He was lying on it writing.
Lin Qingping walked over gently. He had already written one version of numbers, and was writing the last row of the second version of pinyin letters.
The immature notes were written with great effort, but were... crooked.
She watched Zhiyuan finish writing the last letter and squatted down.
She first praised him for his serious writing, then squatted and looked into his bright eyes.
"Zhiyuan." She said softly, "Zhiyuan, can you help me from now on?"
It was obvious that there was surprise in Zhiyuan's bright dark eyes.
"Look, your uncle Gu is in the army and is often not at home. Grandpa is old and has to work in the fields every day. You are the youngest and most useful man in the family. Can you come with me and help Uncle Gu take care of this family?"
