Chapter 38 Button Hulu·Lin Shu
Tiantian blinked her big eyes and asked curiously: "Mom, why are there three legs?"
Sister Lu laughed.
Lin Shu was embarrassed. She was a little excited just now and forgot to pay attention to the wording!
Panpan bent her legs and pointed at her head, "The head can't control the legs, it is the legs, and it can't control the hands, it is the hands." Tiantian nodded, "Oh, right." Lin Shu said guiltily,
yes, yes . Someone on the road greeted Lin Shu when they saw her coming back, and they were surprised to see the tall and strong woman next to her carrying the child and Taoer. "Lin Shu, are you going back to your parents' home?" "Who is this?" ... "Hello, auntie, this is my sister-in-law." Lin Shu dug up the memory of the original owner's mother's home on the way, and fortunately it was integrated very naturally and was as casual as her memory. The original owner spent most of her time doing housework at home and rarely went out. If she had to go out, she would keep her head down and look at the road and dare not look at people, so she was not very familiar with most people in the village. Lin Shu judged based on the original owner's memory that the original owner's timidity was actually inherited from the family. The Lin family's ancestors had a small fortune. Grandpa Lin was very honest and timid, and he would get sick easily . Well, in fact, he was scared. When the Japanese came, he was scared to the point of peeing his pants, and when the People's Liberation Army came, he was still scared and trembling. Especially when fighting against the local tyrants, he would get scared and sick at the slightest movement. Although Grandma Lin never said it, Lin Shu felt that Grandpa Lin was finally... scared to death. Although Uncle Lin and Father Lin were not that timid, they were not much better, and were known for being honest and decent. Although Grandma Lin is knowledgeable, she is not the kind of person who is fierce and powerful. She still wants to reason and save face, so she is naturally unmovable. Aunt Lin is a bit powerful, but she is only powerful in her family. She has a good image to the outside world. Lin's mother is similar. Anyway, she is not like Fang Dihua who protects her family and dares to rush out and beat and scold others if they say something bad about her family. The Lin family has always been a peaceful family. They would rather suffer a little grievance and take a loss. They don't want to conflict with others and cause trouble. Otherwise, how could the original owner be blocked by a few women when he was a child and scolded Grandma Lin as a little vixen and an old vixen? If they dared to say that in Lu's manor, Fang Dihua would have slapped their whole family in the face. Several women were muttering in the back, "Hey, she's going back to her parents' home with her sister-in-law? Her in-laws are so good to her?" "What's good about that? Her husband is gone, and she's still in mourning. Why isn't she wearing mourning clothes and running around?" "Didn't you see her sister-in-law is here? I'm afraid she's forcing her back to her parents' home to reason with them." Many people in the village had heard that Lin Shu's tall, handsome and profitable son-in-law was gone, and they gossiped about her behind her back. "When I was a child, I saw that she had a bad face, a face that would bring bad luck to her husband." "Then her in-laws will blame her? They'll probably marry her off to someone else in exchange for a dowry, right?" If Lin Shu went back to her parents' home by herself, those gossipy women who liked to mock the original owner would definitely ridicule her in person, but now they didn't dare to say it in front of the Lu family. Lin Shu heard the chattering behind her and stopped and turned around. Sister-in-law Lu also stopped and turned around, "Third sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Lin Shu glanced coldly at the gossipers behind her and raised her voice, "Sister-in-law, there are a lot of old crows in Linjiatun, did you hear that? They are hiding behind people and chattering. You can tell they are bad-mouthed and have no moral integrity. Sooner or later they will be beaten to pieces!" Sister-in-law Lu went to see those women. The women were scared and scattered. They were used to bullying the original owner who didn't dare to talk back. Even if Lin's father and mother were such honest people, they didn't dare to say it to her face because of their adult faces. Lin Shu sneered, "If I hear it again in the future, I will smash her pot and let her whole family know that she is a bad-mouthed and broken pot!" It was not easy for the original owner's family to let the mother-in-law come to fight and curse, so naturally she had to do it herself! If she doesn't stand up in her natal village, who can support her? Today, she is Niuhulu Lin Shu, and she has returned to her natal village to be the king and show off her power! Today, she must let Linjiatun know that she, Lin Shu, is different from before. Do they want to bully her because her man is gone? She will let them know how terrible it is when an honest person goes crazy. Mrs. Lu looked at Lin Shu in surprise. The third brother's wife has really... changed a lot. They are like two people from before. Is the third brother upset because he didn't have her, or is he more confident after being praised by the leader? Mrs. Lu would not think too much, she would just be happy, and raised her thumb, "Sister-in-law, you are awesome, you have a fight with our mother-in-law." Lin Shu immediately lowered her eyes slightly and smiled, "Sister-in-law, but I don't have the strength, I can't fight." Mrs. Lu: "What are you afraid of, don't we have me and mother?" In the countryside, men cannot intervene when women fight. If men intervene, their nature will change. So when women fight, whoever is stronger will take advantage. Fighting is useless, as long as the women are not hurt, no one will care. Mrs. Lu saw a woman peeking over there, she immediately put down her burden and ran to the place where several women were gossiping just now. There was a stone pier there, where everyone gathered to chat. Mrs. Lu went over and used all her strength to push the stone pier through and pushed it into the drainage ditch next to it. Not only did they not let them sit, they also blocked the drainage ditch and asked them to come out and lift it! She shouted: "Whoever talks nonsense about my sister-in-law again, I, Yang Guiying, and my mother-in-law Fang Dihua, will definitely slap her mouth!" After that, she picked up a stone and smashed it on the door frame of the woman's house, making a bang. Hehe, it's quite exciting to imitate her mother-in-law! Sister Lu had never done this before, but today it was like Lin Shu opened up her Ren and Du meridians, and she tasted the sweetness. Lin Shu and her two children applauded her. Tiantian and Panpan put their hands on their hips and said fiercely, "If anyone says bad things about my mother behind her back, I'll let my grandma slap her on the mouth! You have a broken mouth and you bring shame to your mother-in-law, why doesn't your mother-in-law slap you!" They played on the streets when they were young and had heard the old women cursing people a lot.
The four of them had a blast on the street, scaring the women nearby so much that they all went back home, their hearts pounding, fearing that Sister-in-law Lu would come
and beat them up.
Sister-in-law Lu was very happy, so she went back to pick up her burden and said to Lin Shu, "Sister-in-law, let's go. I'll take you to your parents-in-law's house."
Lin Shu smiled sweetly, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
It felt so good to be protected. Yang Guiying was added to her list of people who could support her!
Behind her, Lin Shu's brother Lin Yue and his wife Sun Xiaohong came out of the barefoot doctor's clinic with their child in their arms, and they just happened to see the scene.
Lin Yue was stunned. Is this his sister? Is this his sister's sister-in-law?
Oh my god!
Sun Xiaohong: "Lin Yue, let's go to my mother's house for a day. Anyway, my parents never love you to eat."
If it is not a special day, a daughter will take her son-in-law back to her mother's house for dinner, which is considered as asking for money and not being welcomed.
Lin Yue: "My brother-in-law is gone, and I have to comfort my sister when she comes back."
Sun Xiaohong glared at him, "Comfort what? You mean you are close to your third sister, but not to me and Baoer?"
Lin Yue: "How can that be? Let's go home..."
Sun Xiaohong grabbed her son from his arms and threatened: "If you don't listen to me, go sleep with them in the future, don't look for me!"
She is used to using the things on the kang to control Lin Yue, and if he doesn't listen, let him sleep alone.
The third aunt is very capable. Last time, she asked the eldest cousin's wife to go to her parents' home to ask for a sewing machine, and now she has brought the eldest cousin's wife back to ask for it in person.
If she goes back, she will be blocked by the third aunt. Wouldn't she have to argue again?
No, she has to hide.
Seeing that Lin Yue was not willing to give in today, she said hatefully: "Okay, Lin Yue, I know who you are! In your heart, your third sister is more important than me!"
She turned around and ran away with her son in her arms.
Lin Yue: "Key, give me the key!"
Sun Xiaohong ignored him and ran away in anger with her son in her arms.
It's not that she is afraid of Lin Shu. After all, Lin Shu wanted to come over before, and she could stop her.
In the past, she could act like a spoiled child with the third aunt because she was her brother's wife. Now that the third brother-in-law has lost the third aunt so miserably, she will lose face if she makes a scene.
Besides, the third aunt looked like she was going crazy, and she brought her fierce and aggressive sister-in-law with her to go crazy, so she couldn't handle it.
Lin Yue had to tiptoe back home by himself.
The Lin family lived in the south, and they were making a fuss behind the village, but the Lin family didn't know about it.
If Lin's mother knew, she would definitely blame the young lady for causing trouble and not getting along well with others. She might even have to apologize to those women, saying that the child was in a bad mood because of something wrong and asked people to bear with her.
When they arrived at the door of the house, Sister-in-law Lu also put the empty basket of the shoulder pole here, and came to carry it back in the evening.
Lin Shu: "Sister-in-law, go in and have a drink of water."
Sister-in-law Lu: "We are carrying a basket of peaches, do you still need some water? Go quickly, I'll pick you up when the sun sets in the west."
After that, she strode away with the basket of peaches.
Since she didn't have to work these two days, Lin's mother asked Lin's father to help her quilt the washed cotton clothes and quilts at home.
They saw Lin Shu and the children coming back from the window and hurried out to greet them.
Seeing the two beautiful children, Lin's father and mother's eyes lit up and immediately invited them into the house to make sugar water.
Lin Shu didn't bring the children back, but she knew that the original owner's parents loved the children. If she went back to her parents' home without bringing the children, she would be disliked. Although
Lin's mother favored boys over girls, she was good to her grandchildren, especially Tiantian, such a beautiful and well-behaved girl. The old lady favored boys over girls. She only favored boys over girls.
Lin's father always loved his children and was good to his sons and daughters.
Lin's mother glanced at Lin Shu, without saying a warm word, and focused on coaxing the two children.
She was better to her eldest sister, after all, she was the first child. She was also okay to her second sister, because the second sister was very good and never took any loss. She always complained that she was partial to her. She was afraid of making a fool of herself, so she tried her best to shut up the second daughter.
She was the worst to the original owner, because the original owner was petty, sensitive, and extremely beautiful, so Lin's mother had a very subtle feeling.
Lin's mother herself couldn't explain this subtle feeling, but she just attributed it to her dislike of girls, or she didn't like what her mother-in-law liked.
The original owner also thought that her mother favored boys over girls, and didn't think of anything else. She couldn't figure it out with her brain.
Father Lin called his daughter, looked at her feet, and fetched water for her to wash her feet. "The road is dirty and muddy. Why don't you come back on a nice day?"
Lin Shu: "My mother-in-law said the peaches are ripe, so she asked me to go back to my parents' home to send a basket." Father Lin:
"Are all the in-laws okay?"
Oh, the son-in-law is gone, and the in-laws must be very upset. The old father-in-law secretly cried several times.
Lin Shu: "It's good, my father-in-law is a barefoot doctor."
"What?" Father Lin raised his voice in surprise, "Oh, yes, he knew some medical skills. In fact, I also learned it when I was a kid. If your grandfather was not seriously ill and the family had no money, I would have learned it a long time ago. Now I am a doctor in the county hospital."
Lin Shu restrained herself from rolling her eyes at the original owner's father.
This father is good in everything, but... he can brag! He doesn't admit defeat!
If you ask someone who is good at something, he will definitely say that he can do it, and so on.
You don't know whether he is inferior or overconfident.
In fact, Father Lin is also smart and learns things quickly, but he is not persistent and can't stick to it. He gives up easily. He learns a little bit of everything but is not good at anything, so he uses it to brag.
After entering the house, Lin Shu turned her head to look at the room of her younger brother and sister-in-law in the west, and it was locked!
Haha, these two!
"Where are my younger brother and sister-in-law?"
Father Lin looked outside, and Mother Lin hurriedly said, "Your sister-in-law may be pregnant again. Go to the barefoot doctor to check it out."
Lin Shu raised her eyebrows and glanced at the lock, "What's the matter? Did you know I would be back today? And you locked the door on purpose?"
Father Lin said embarrassedly, "How could they? They were afraid that a wild cat would run over there."
Mother Lin glanced at Lin Shu, "You are not in good spirits today. Why are you talking so aggressively?"
In the past, not to mention the sister-in-law locking her own room, she even locked the courtyard door in front of the original owner, and the original owner would just stare and sulk, not daring to ask why.
Since her daughter came home, Lin's mother noticed that her daughter was not right.
Tiantian and Panpan were immediately unhappy when they saw that their grandmother was mean to their mother.
Panpan: "Grandma, when will my aunt and second aunt come back?"
Lin's mother immediately put on a smile, "They haven't been back for a long time, probably for the holidays, but they saved money for me."
She looked outside and saw that there was no one, so she lifted up her clothes and took out a handkerchief from the inner pocket, opened it layer by layer, and inside was a roll of a few cents of banknotes.
She took out four cents, gave two to each child, and whispered, "Go buy some candy later."
Panpan wanted to get angry with her grandmother, but when she saw that she was giving money, she felt that her grandmother was not bad, so she lost her temper.
"Thank you, grandma."
Tiantian also took the money, but put it in Lin Shu's pocket, afraid that she would lose it.
Lin's father winked at Lin's mother and asked her to give some to Lin Shu as well.
Lin's mother was not happy. She took out two cents, put it back, and took out one cent and threw it to Lin Shu, "Here, I'll buy you some candy. Look at you, the guy I found for you in the city was so good, with a monthly salary of 42 yuan, which is about the same as your eldest sister and second sister's family, but you insisted...on listening to your grandma."
She had no feelings for Lu Shaotang at all. After all, she had only met him once and he didn't help the Yue family with farm work. How could she have any feelings for him?
She also asked Lin's father to write letters to the eldest and second daughters in the city, asking them to help find another city-based salaried guy for Lin Shu.
Panpan and Tiantian heard this and were shocked. What's going on?
Panpan: "Grandma, my dad makes more than 50 a month!"
Actually, it's just over 100, but the little money-grubber knows that wealth should not be exposed, so he should say less, but it should be more than that unknown target!
Lin's mother: "Your dad makes a lot, but he is not at home all year round, and now..."
Facing the two children's dark and clear eyes, Lin's mother was choked and choked in her throat.
Tiantian: "My dad's comrade-in-arms also saved money for my mom."
Lin's mother subconsciously asked: "What's the matter, your dad's comrade-in-arms fell in love with your mom?"
That's fine, Lu Shaotang's comrade-in-arms probably has the same salary as him, and it's okay to raise a daughter and a child.
Father Lin pushed her and said, "What are you talking about in front of the children?"
Mother Lin curled her lips and said, "What can I say? Why don't you let me speak? Isn't this going to happen sooner or later?"
She asked the two children, "Is grandma good to you?"
The two children said in unison, "Yes, she is very good! Didn't you see that grandma let grandma bring peaches to her?"
Father Lin asked, "What about your mother? Is she good to her?"
The two children said, "Of course she is. Whoever says that my mother is not good, grandma will beat him! Humph!"
Panpan even glanced at Mother Lin.
Mother Lin: "..."
What am I...
She turned her head and saw Lin Shu wandering around in front of the west door, looking around, and it seemed that she wanted to remove the door panel. What was going on?
Hearing the children say that grandma treats Lin Shu well, Lin's father felt relieved and said with a smile: "See, my mother has good vision. She found good in-laws for my daughter."
Lin's mother curled her lips, she was destined to die young.
In the past, she was oppressed by her mother-in-law and could not make the decision for the daughter's marriage, which made her unhappy. Now that her son-in-law is gone, she must make the decision for the daughter's second marriage.
She has put all her efforts into finding someone better than Lu Shaotang for Lin Shu!
What's wrong with a second marriage? She is only 22 years old, young, beautiful and knowledgeable.
Besides, the daughter was like a quail at the time, but now... I don't know if she learned it from her mother-in-law, and she has become aggressive.
Look at those rolling eyes, I don't know what bad ideas she has.
