Chapter 10 Drama Queen

Lin Shu listened to Song Chunli's gossip in the back without a word, resisting the urge to splash them with the water from the pot. She should give the bad guy room to grow. When her mouth gets bad enough, she can beat him up, right?

When they dispersed, Lin Shu saw that it was almost dark and started to cook. She used to mix corn rice with a little flour and make a waffle shape.

The pumpkin was gone, so she could only make pickled vegetables today, chopped Chinese toon sprouts and pickled vegetable shreds.

In spring, many young leaves of Chinese toon sprouts are picked. If you can't finish them, you can rub them with salt to kill them and store them in a pot to eat slowly.

Chinese toon sprouts are delicious when fried with eggs and small fish, but it's a pity that there is no such condition at home at the moment, so she can only drool.

Some land in the village is far from home, so the production team leader doesn't let everyone come back for lunch. Either someone delivers lunch, or you go home to cook and bring it over, or you just bring dry food, anyway, you don't have to worry about eating cold food in summer.

Lu Ping, Lu An and Lu Cuicui are in primary school in the brigade, so they can come back for lunch at noon, but the original owner didn't cook a few days ago, so Fang Dihua asked them to bring lunch.

They found that there was no good food at home, and bringing lunch would at most make them cooler, and they could still play outside after eating, so they didn't come back for lunch.

Lu Ping is sensible, and after lunch he would take his brother to cut grass and send it to the brigade's livestock yard to count as work points for the two.

Lu Cuicui is only at home in the morning and evening, and she is usually not seen, as if she is just a passerby.

Fang Dihua came back to bring lunch as usual today.

She was carrying an oversized basket, which was bulging with wild vegetables on the surface, as well as vegetable seedlings and seeds for Lin Shu.

She threw the wild vegetables on the ground casually, then took out a large bag of things from the sack, and hurried into the house to put them away.

Lin Shu, who was about to play the role of a bullied daughter-in-law in front of her mother-in-law, was stunned when she saw Fang Dihua's back. What treasure was she hiding? Lin Shu

heard her mother-in-law fussing in the house, so she took a broken knife and sat on a small stool, using a broken vegetable chopping board as a cushion to start chopping wild vegetables. She chopped them up and mixed them with bran to feed the chickens and ducks at night.

Fang Dihua came out and glanced at Lin Shu who was chopping wild vegetables. She suddenly felt something was wrong. Her daughter-in-law was too quiet, as if... unhappy? She was

actually unhappy to see the vegetable seedlings?

At this time, Aunt Li from next door came to deliver chickens and ducks, so Fang Dihua went over to greet them.

Aunt Li's duck had just hatched a nest of ducklings. She kept five for herself and gave the rest to the neighbors.

There was abundant water around Lujia Village, and the villagers liked to raise a few ducks and geese so that they could eat duck eggs without wasting food.

She brought Fang Dihua two furry ducklings. There was a big duck at home, and these two babies could follow it out to the water to find food. She

also brought Fang Dihua two laying hens, one from her own family and one from her mother's family in Houtun.

Her mother's family also raised many chickens, and they would usually hatch chicks and give them to the neighbors.

Fang Dihua gave her the money according to the market price, but Auntie Li insisted on giving her a discount of two cents.

She smiled and said, "Second Madam, usually I only make two or three cents from a chicken, I can't make money from you."

The house was given to her by the Lu family.

Fang Dihua: "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. We are neighbors, so we should settle accounts more clearly."

She would not take advantage of others casually. If you take advantage of others, you must repay the favor in the future?

Moreover, she is not short of money now. Her third son gives her a monthly... Fang Dihua felt a pain in her heart and her face turned ugly. She forced the money to Auntie Li.

Auntie Li had to take it and go back first.

Fang Dihua carried the chicken and the two ducklings home, wanting Lin Shu to tie the hen to the chicken coop with a rope and wait for two days before letting it go, so that they can recognize the coop and avoid running back to the Yuan family.

She saw Lin Shu sitting there, head drooping, chopping wild vegetables intermittently, as if she had lost her soul.

Fang Dihua was startled!

"The third brother's?"

Lin Shu was thinking about how to set a trap for Song Chunfang and give her a hard time, but she was startled by her mother-in-law's loud voice, "Ah, mother, you are back?"

Fang Dihua didn't dare to speak loudly to her now, for fear of irritating her, "...I brought back the wild vegetables you chopped."

Lin Shu: "Ah, yes, I forgot, mother, the meal is ready."

Fang Dihua put the chickens and ducks back in place, and saw that a hen from her own family was lying in the nest, not laying eggs but sitting on the nest. She picked up the hen and touched its buttocks, and found that it had no eggs at all, which meant it was sitting on the nest.

She asked Lin Shu to bring a hemp rope and tie the hen to the tree. If she didn't let it squat and nest, it would basically continue to lay eggs in two or three days.

When Lin Shu took the hemp rope, she rubbed her eyes. Her big, watery eyes were red and her eyelashes were wet.

Fang Dihua was shocked and her heart tightened. "Old Third, do you want to go back to your parents' home?"

Without a man, it must be hard to talk to anyone in your husband's family.

Lin Shu lowered her head slightly and lowered her thick eyelashes. The original owner's elder sister and second sister were in the provincial capital and the city respectively, and her grandmother was gone. If she went back to her parents' home, there would be no one to talk to. She would only be nagged by her own mother and laughed at by others.

She shook her head: "No."

Fang Dihua: "Who do you want to talk to? How about I give you five yuan and you go to your second aunt's house in the city?"

Lin Shu shook her head.

Fang Dihua made several suggestions in succession, but Lin Shu shook her head. She was at a loss.

Lin Shu half lowered her head and didn't look at Fang Dihua, because what she was about to say made her toes dig into the ground, "Mom, no matter whether his father comes back or not, I will never remarry in this life. I will be your daughter-in-law in this life."

Fang Dihua was stunned. She didn't expect her daughter-in-law to say this.

She suddenly had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She and the old man originally thought that Lin Shu couldn't keep it and would definitely want to remarry, but unexpectedly, she said clearly that she would not remarry.

If Lin Shu said she wanted to remarry, she would definitely be unhappy, but now that Lin Shu said she didn't want to remarry, she was also uncomfortable. It was too feudal for a young daughter-in-law to stay at home all her life.

She said, "Shao Tang will definitely come back. If he really doesn't come back, we can talk about other things in a year or two."

Lin Shu nodded, "Mom, some people in the village... say bad things, don't listen."

- Mother-in-law, please listen to it, so that I can vent my anger after listening!

Fang Dihua frowned, "Who said nonsense? What did you say? Learn it for me."

Lin Shu: "It's nothing, I just said I want to remarry or something."

- And you spread rumors that you beat me! I cheated on you! My child is not Lu Shaotang's!

Fang Dihua felt guilty immediately. She had told the old man about it. She said, "It's nothing. This is not the old society. No one has to stay with anyone forever. Just ignore it."

She was afraid that Lin Shu would continue to dwell on the matter of remarriage, so she changed the subject, "Now there are many chickens and ducks laying eggs at home, so we don't need to send the eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative. We can improve our diet every now and then."

If her grandchildren and Lin Shu didn't want to raise more chickens, she would not buy two more hens. Since she bought them and they laid eggs, she might as well eat them.

In summer, hens dig for food and eat cordyceps seeds. If they have enough protein, they can lay one egg a day. With five chickens at home, we can lay at least four eggs a day.

In winter, when the family is reluctant to feed them food, it is good to lay one egg every three to five days. We

are reluctant to scramble eggs because it wastes too much oil. But we can stew eggs with pickled vegetables or stewed chicken and egg custard.

In order not to irritate Lin Shu anymore, Fang Dihua hurried to wash her hands and pickled eggs. At this time, Panpan and Tiantian also came back from outside to eat and take a nap.

After Fang Dihua left with the rice and pickled vegetables, Lin Shu took the two children to eat and put down the mosquito net for them to take a nap.

The two children were very well behaved and fell asleep easily. Panpan fell asleep in seconds by sucking his thumb, and Tiantian also fell asleep quickly by holding onto the corner of Lin Shu's clothes.

Lin Shu covered them with a sheet and continued to make shoes.

Fang Dihua finally took Lin Shu's words to heart. When she went out with the food basket, she deliberately stopped by Aunt Li's house to talk to her.

Aunt Li didn't have to go to the fields, and usually did housework at home. Her parents' home was in Houtun, so she was well-informed.

She asked Aunt Li to help keep an eye on it and to help fight back if anyone said something gossipy about Lin Shu.

It was rare for Fang Dihua to take the initiative to find someone to do something. Aunt Li was very proud and promised that she would definitely help keep an eye on it.

After she finished her housework, she would usually go out with a basket to chat with the old ladies and do some work, such as sewing shoe soles or rubbing rice grains.

The old ladies usually sat on the street to catch the breeze and were well-informed.

In order to improve her inherent image of being timid and cowardly in the village, Lin Shu took her two children to the river in the afternoon to collect grass seeds.

She planned to ask her eldest sister-in-law to help dig up the chicken and duck pens, sow vegetable seeds and let them grow freely. Then the chickens and ducks could eat insects and grass, and the space would not be wasted.

When she met the elderly people in the village on the way, Lin Shu did not greet them shyly like a mosquito humming as before, but greeted them openly.

Looking at her and her two children leaving from behind, the old men and women began to murmur.

"Whose daughter-in-law is this? She's so pretty!"

"You old bastard, isn't this the third daughter-in-law of the second master? The daughter-in-law of Shaotang."

"Shaotang's daughter-in-law? His daughter-in-law is short, has a mosquito-like voice, and doesn't look good. This daughter-in-law is pretty and looks taller. Shaotang's daughter-in-law is gone, so did he find another one?"

"Shut up, you old bastard, you're really confused."

A 93-year-old man, isn't he confused?

Everyone saw Lin Shu's changes, and then each found their own convincing reasons for her changes, such as being possessed by evil spirits, being possessed by ghosts, having mental problems due to mental stimulation, being sensible and standing up from then on, etc.

Lin Shu didn't care what they thought, as long as her parents-in-law thought she was sensible and didn't act like a demon.

Now that "she" is alive, the child will not be lost, the father-in-law will not fall down the mountain and become paralyzed while picking chestnuts, and the mother-in-law will not be in trouble. The family will develop step by step, and in a few years her child will lead the whole family! ! !

It's wonderful to think about it.

Southwest forest.

Chen Yanming led the warriors to conduct carpet searches in the border forests again and again. He followed Lu Shaotang's secret mark and disappeared when he arrived here.

From the information Lu Shaotang left before, there was a traitor inside, so he could only temporarily change the mark, using the secret code he and Chen Yanming agreed on as a joke when they were in the military academy.

They both entered the military academy at the tender age of twelve. They disliked each other at first, but later they appreciated each other and became good brothers who fought side by side and went through life and death together. The feelings between them are beyond the estimation of others.

This time, Lu Shaotang led the team to carry out a secret mission. In order to protect confidential personnel and secret documents, he personally led the enemy away and finally fell into the mountain stream.

The troops searched for two months without success, and finally could only issue a document that Lu Shaotang was sacrificed, but Chen Yanming did not want to give up.

Sure enough, this time, the secret mark left by Lu Shaotang was found in a secret location!

"Woof woof!" The hound suddenly let out a low roar.

Chen Yanming was excited and said in a low voice: "Go and have a look!"

"Instructor, the target has been found!"

Chen Yanming took too big a step and slipped. He quickly steadied himself and rushed over, "Contact the helicopter! Quick!"

"Helicopter in place! Helicopter in place!"

The helicopter that had been on standby for a long time roared and flew over. Soon, it took them through the dense forest and headed to the People's Liberation Army General Hospital.
