Chapter 115 Suspecting that she is making a false accusation again
Mrs. Song disagreed. "What are you giving them? How did they treat you in the beginning? You're so generous, and now you're still thinking about giving them money?"
When Lin Zhiyi heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She hurried to look at her elder and second sisters-in-law, but found that they were far away and probably didn't hear it. She breathed a sigh of relief.
She went to great lengths to mend her relationship with her two sisters-in-law along the way.
After much difficulty in reconciling with her two sisters-in-law, they also became close to her, their younger sister-in-law.
She didn't want the relationship, which had finally eased, to return to where it was.
But she couldn't be angry with Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song always loved her daughter and put her precious daughter first no matter what happened.
She lost her mother when she was young, and suddenly she had a mother like this, which made her feel very warm in her heart.
She pulled Madam Song further away, took Madam Song's arm and said coquettishly, "Mother, you can't think like that. Zheng'er and Lu'er are your grandchildren. If you give the money to your sister-in-law, can she let outsiders spend it?
And my second sister-in-law, she's pregnant with the blood of our Lin family, do you want the child to be born too weak and hard to raise?"
Mrs. Song was stunned.
She didn't expect her daughter to say that.
Zhizhi always said that her two sisters-in-law were outsiders and did not have the surname Lin.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
At the same time, she felt sorry for her daughter. She didn't want her to be too sensible. She just wanted her to think about herself.
During the exile, she was busy running around and always took the lead in doing the work. It was really heartbreaking!
If she had not stopped at the post station on the way, she would have asked the doctor to check Zhizhi, who would have said that her body had recovered long ago. She could not let her daughter torture herself like this, going back to work right after a miscarriage.
Fang Luo and Gu Wanyun were standing at the door of the main hall at this time.
The two of them had already noticed the little actions of their mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Although they couldn't hear what their mother-in-law and sister-in-law were saying, they felt that it must have something to do with them.
Fang Luo was pregnant and her temper had become more sensitive. "Sister-in-law, do you think my sister-in-law has complained about us to the mother-in-law again?"
When she was in the Lin residence, this young aunt did this a lot. She always told her mother-in-law about their bad deeds behind their backs. The mother-in-law would scold them indiscriminately and make them kneel down as punishment.
"That can't be possible." Gu Wanyun said.
Along the way, she could truly feel that her aunt had changed and become warm-hearted, even warmer than her own sister from her mother's family.
"Why do I feel like she's talking about us?"
Fang Luo's face didn't look good.
"It's okay to say a few words. After all, the whole family depends on my sister."
What Gu Wanyun said was true.
Along the way, she saw how Lin Zhiyi treated her two children.
If she hadn't chased them, it's hard to say whether they could have reached Fangzhou alive.
Anyone who treats her two children well is Gu Wanyun's benefactor.
As for the dowry, even if her sister-in-law had not snatched her dowry, it would have been confiscated by the court and there would be nothing left.
But, the Qin family is too ruthless.
"Sister-in-law, just look, the mother-in-law is coming towards us. It must be our younger sister-in-law who is doing evil behind our backs."
Fang Luo said.
Now even Gu Wanyun was a little suspicious. Seeing that her mother-in-law looked unhappy, could it be that her sister-in-law really reported them?
Just when the two were feeling annoyed, Mrs. Song came over.
"Mom, just say whatever you want to say. My sister..."
"Come with me."
Mrs. Song entered the house.
Walls have ears. It’s not a good idea to say anything in this yard, so as not to attract thieves.
Gu Wanyun and Fang Luo looked at each other with complicated expressions in their eyes, and followed Madam Song into the house.
Mrs. Song sat on the square stool in the room and said, "You guys can sit down too."
After thinking for a moment, he shouted to Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan who were moving things in the yard, "You two stop what you are doing and come over here."
Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan were moving things down from the carriage in the yard.
The two of them should be.
When her two sons and daughters-in-law arrived, Mrs. Song said, "Here are two hundred taels of silver. They are the money your sister earned from selling food during her exile. Give it all to mother."
Fang Luo and Gu Wanyun looked up suddenly, their eyes full of surprise.
Then came shame. It seemed that they had misunderstood my aunt.
"Your sister asked me to divide the money between your two families. Thirty taels for your eldest daughter-in-law, to keep for your two children. Thirty taels for your second daughter-in-law, who is pregnant, to buy some supplements for her health.
The remaining 140 taels can be used to buy some things for the family and build a house. Do you have any objections?"
Lin Xiuran said, "Mother, how can we, as your brother, take the money your sister earns? Please save it for your sister and use it as a dowry in the future."
Lin Xiuyan also said, "Yes, when did our Lin family fall to the point where we need help from our sister? Besides, we are the men in the family, and we need to earn money ourselves! If we use our sister's money, our backs will be broken."
Lin Zhiyi walked in and said, "No one is trying to poke your backs. I still have a lot of money here. Is this money a loan to you brothers? You can pay me back when you make money."
Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan exchanged a glance before nodding with a smile, "Alright! We'll listen to my sister."
"Yes, we will go find work tomorrow to earn money to support our family."
Lin Zhiyi smiled and said nothing.
What kind of work could they find? Hard labor carrying heavy bags? Or perhaps becoming an accountant in a wealthy household? Or perhaps even a shopkeeper? She doubted her brothers would last more than three days.
Kong Yiji's robe is not so easy to take off.
At this time, Fang's mother also came in.
"Girl, this is for you."
Mother Fang handed a mahogany box to Lin Zhiyi.
Because Lin Zhiyi didn't know what it was, he took it and opened it. Inside were banknotes and silver, as much as three hundred taels.
"Nanny, where did you get so much money? Take it back quickly. If you have any money, save it for Brother Dalin and find him a wife in the future."
Mother Fang held Lin Zhiyi's hand and said, "Miss, one hundred taels of silver here was given to me by you when you left Chang'an. Did you forget?
"The rest is from selling my house in Chang'an and buying some things when I came here, so this much is left. The house was originally bought for me by the young lady, and now that the Lin family is in trouble, it's only right that I return the money to the young lady."
"I still have some money on me, please keep it."
Mother Fang knew this very well. She had sold her house and her shop, and had a lot of money on her.
But then I thought, Mother Fang must have done this on purpose because she was afraid that her two sisters-in-law would covet the money she had on her.
This way she doesn't have to use the money from selling the shop, and the money she uses can be used more reasonably.
Mother Fang really treated the original owner as her own daughter.
"Girl, you should keep it."
Mrs. Fang refused to accept it no matter what.
Lin Zhiyi had no choice but to take out two silver notes and said, "Then I'll take the 100 taels first, and when I'm done I'll ask the wet nurse for more, okay?"
Only then did Mrs. Fang agree and put the mahogany box away.
At this moment, Lu'er, who was playing in the yard, suddenly ran in, shouting, "Mom, Mom, my arms are itchy..."
Everyone looked at Lu'er's arm and saw that it was red and swollen.
