Chapter 41 Domineering

On the way back, they happened to meet Lin Yue and his three companions.

Each of them held two peaches in his hand, a cigarette was tucked between their ears, and they were barefoot with their pants rolled up, chatting and laughing all the way.

Seeing Lin Shu, Zhou Weimin's face flushed. She also rolled up her pants to reveal a section of her snow-white and slender calves, and her delicate feet were wrapped in straw sandals.

Although she was wearing coarse cloth clothes and straw sandals, her bright and charming beauty could not be hidden.

Lin Shu did not look at him, but just pulled Lin Yue to let him go back with her first, and come back when he could work in the fields, so as not to delay earning work points.

Lin Yue was previously asked by Lin Shu to sew the loom, but he didn’t have time to think about it. Now that his crazy sister’s crisis has been resolved, Sun Xiaohong’s crisis is imminent.

He was also afraid of Sun Xiaohong’s noise. She would pinch him when she made a noise, not let him sleep in the house, threaten to let her brother beat him, and do something to the Lin family.

Oh, it’s a headache.

He is the kind of person who gets weak when facing a strong opponent and shrinks when encountering things. If there is a makeshift solution, he will definitely go with it.

He was afraid of Sun Xiaohong, so Lin Shu asked him to hide for two days, so he hid for two days.

He knelt very smoothly.

Lin Yue said that his sister’s family had something going on, and he would go over to help for two days, and asked Zhou Weimin and his wife to go back and tell their parents.

When Lin Shu and her friends returned to the village, the old ladies at the intersection saw them and sighed with their gaping teeth.

"What a good daughter-in-law, she's getting more and more capable."

"Her brother just sent a sewing machine. The relationship between the siblings is very good."

Lin Yue felt a sense of pride when he heard this.

Fang Dihua was preparing dinner at home. When she saw Lin Yue coming back, she wondered, "What's wrong?"

Lin Shu said, "Mom, didn't my dad ask my eldest brother to kill the trees? My brother has nothing to do these two days, so he helped."

There are many trees in the family, and some of them are 20 or 30 years old, with huge crowns and lush branches and leaves. They also fight with each other, and some of them need to be cut down.

Lin Yue nodded immediately, "Yes, Auntie, I'm here to help kill the trees."

Anyway, he couldn't say that he was afraid of his wife and hid away. Auntie had praised him for sending him a sewing machine before.

Except for Lu Ersao, everyone else was very happy about Lin Yue's arrival.

After all, Lin Yue was handsome, good-looking, and well-spoken, and polite. Who wouldn't like him?

Lu Ping and Lu An invited him to go find cicada monkeys together.

Rainy days or after rain are the best time to find cicada monkeys. They will crawl out of the ground in advance to get some fresh air, and you can find them right away.

Brother Lu was also happy. When there are guests at home, shouldn't we drink a few cups?

It's a pity that Lin Yue doesn't drink.

Even though he and Lin Shu are twins and are already 22 years old, they still look childish, like 17 or 18-year-old idiots. When

Lin Yue found out that Old Man Lu really became a barefoot doctor, he was both impressed and surprised, and praised him, "Grandpa, you are awesome, you are really great."

Old Man Lu said modestly, "It's nothing, I just learned it early, your father also learned it, if you study hard, you will be better than me."

Lin Yue laughed and said, "Grandpa, if you don't brag, you are much better than my father, haha."

Fang Dihua liked this child after hearing his heartless truth, and urged him to eat more stewed eggs.

On the way, Lin Yue heard Lin Shu talking about Fang Dihua's eye treatment, and he was also concerned about her, hoping that her eyes would get better soon.

Two days ago, Father Lu went to the county hospital to prescribe medicine for patients and had to exchange medical knowledge with Doctor Yan. Lin Shu asked him to take Fang Dihua to have her eyes rechecked.

Now the old man is making money as a barefoot doctor, San'er is fine, and Fang Dihua doesn't mind the money, so she naturally cooperates well.

Father Lu also cares about his wife the most, and accompanies Fang Dihua throughout the eye examination.

After the ophthalmologist examined her, he said that she could have a small operation after a period of treatment.

Fang Dihua's eyes were poked by her brother when she was a child, leaving a foreign body in the eye socket, which caused the eye to be inflamed and festering.

The doctor said that the diseased cavity must be cut out to let the good flesh grow out in order to completely cure it, otherwise it will rot in over time and make the eye blind.

After hearing what the doctor said, Old Man Lu was frightened. He supervised Fang Dihua seriously and refused to be careless. Fang Dihua also cooperated with the treatment.

Seeing how obedient they were, Lin Shu was relieved. As long as she paid more attention to her mother-in-law's eyes, she would not go blind.

Panpan and Tiantian also picked up food for Fang Dihua and Old Man Lu, "Grandpa works hard, grandma works hard in the fields, you should eat more good food."

Hearing the sweet and crisp voices of the two children, the old couple felt so comfortable.

Second Sister-in-law Lu lowered her head and glared at Lu Cuicui fiercely, wanting her to be sweet and learn to be close to her grandpa.

Lu Cuicui avoided her sight. Lu Ping and Lu An didn't do this. Why did she do this?

Not everyone would be like that.

In the evening, the eldest and second brothers Lu discussed with Lin Yue how to cut down the tree early tomorrow morning.

Although the yard is large, we have to avoid the house, fruit trees and vegetable garden to avoid damaging them.

Lin Yue had an idea, "We have to go up and ride on the tree branches to saw off the branches first, and then cut down the trunk."

The eldest brother Lu looked up and saw that the big locust tree was so tall and had many branches, which was really difficult to deal with.

The two brothers Lu Ping also said they would help.

The men discussed the matter of cutting down the tree, and Fang Dihua called her daughter-in-law back to the house to ask if they had anything to do when they returned to their parents' home. If they had anything to do, they could tell her. The

second sister-in-law Lu had a sullen face and was not very happy, but she said that it was okay.

She originally wanted to talk to Lin Shu about the shoes, but Lin Yue came, and she couldn't open her mouth in front of outsiders.

Sister-in-law Lu: "Mom, my parents are fine. They asked about your parents. If we need cloth, just tell her. If there is cotton, she will spin it into thread and weave cloth."

Fang Dihua smiled, "My in-law is a hardworking person."

She looked at Lin Shu again.

Lin Shu pursed her lips, glanced at her sister-in-law, and whispered: "Mom, I may have caused trouble for you again."

Fang Dihua thought to herself: I knew that if I didn't cause trouble, the sewing machine would not come back.

Sister-in-law Lu laughed and was very proud of herself when she remembered her majestic appearance in Linjiatun.

Fang Dihua glanced at her, "What else is there for you?"

Mrs. Lu told her what she knew, "Mom, it turns out that beating people is so satisfying." She clenched her fists.

Mrs. Lu subconsciously moved away. Fang

Dihua asked Lin Shu what happened to the sewing machine.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "My parents and brother thought the sewing machine was mine, and they borrowed it for a few years, so they took the initiative to return it to me."

Fang Dihua: "Is your sister-in-law happy?"

Lin Shu: "She... went back to her parents' home."

Fang Dihua: "..."

Good guy, she still has to fight against the old grandson's family?

Well, it's better to fight against the old grandson's family than the Lin family. She didn't go to the Lin family to get the sewing machine before, just because she didn't want to have a conflict with asking for leave, but the grandson's family didn't care.

Fang Dihua: "Okay, it's your stuff, keep it."

Lin Shu asked Fang Dihua to make some arrangements for Lin Yue.

Outside, Lu Ping had already invited Lin Yue to sleep in their small north room.

Lin Yue was as carefree as Hu Zi. He didn't worry when he was not around, and didn't care about the commotion at home. He went to look for cicadas and monkeys with Lu Ping and Pan Pan.

Lin Shu didn't care much. The original owner's parents had to be urged. If they were not urged, they would just lie there.

She saw Lu's father reading a book under the lamp, so she went over and asked, "Dad, what book did you and my mother buy?"

Lin Shu had reminded Fang Dihua to go to the bookstore with her father-in-law to buy some medical books after seeing the eyes. After all, there is no end to learning as a doctor, and her father is a person who likes to think, so it's always good to read more books. Fang Dihua didn't care about her own affairs, but she cared about the old man's affairs, so she naturally had to go.

Father Lu showed her the cover of an old medical book, "Doctor Yan lent it to me. Your mother and I went to the bookstore, but we couldn't buy it."

He didn't have time to read books during the day at work, so he read at night.

Lin Shu: "Dad, don't read at night, it hurts your eyes, I'll copy it for you and you can read it slowly later."

Father Lu thought it was okay, so he gave her the other book first, and Doctor Yan lent him two books.

Lin Shu: "Dad, the more old medical books we read, the fewer there are. Let's ask around in the future to see if anyone has medical books or medical records left over from the past. We can buy them back. If they don't want to sell them, we can borrow them and copy them."

Old Man Lu was afraid of spending money on medical books before, and was reluctant to do so. Now, he felt much happier when he heard his third daughter-in-law say this.

He also felt that his third daughter-in-law was really different from before. This kind of knowledge was not something that ordinary people could have.

Teacher Ma's class was really good, and he had a clear mind recently.

When Lin Shu left with the book, he couldn't help but whisper to Fang Dihua: "The third daughter-in-law is getting more and more educated."

Fang Dihua whispered: "How can that be false? I think she is more educated than those cadres who came down."

Those people didn't have the immortal Ma to teach them in person, right?

The old couple started to grumble about the sewing machine again. They didn't think it belonged to the Lu family at first, but they didn't expect Lin Shu to take it back.

They grumbled about what Panpan and Tiantian said.

Panpan said that grandma and grandma were always worried that mom was not living well at home and that someone bullied her. We all said that grandma loved mom very much.

"These two children, they can speak like adults and read adults' faces at such a young age. Oh, they are so sensible." Father Lu felt sorry for the children again. Children of this age are stupid and eat and sleep, but they know a lot, don't cause trouble for adults, and even comfort adults.

This is because San'er is not at home. If he were at home, the children would be more innocent.

Fang Dihua: "Isn't that good? I would rather have a sensible child than those careless and ignorant ones."

Some bastards are still ignorant even when they are old, while some children are sensible from birth.

Being sensible or not has nothing to do with age, it is innate.

Lin Shu and the others were curious about what the Lin family was doing, but the Lin family was about to face a storm.

Sun Xiaohong took her child home in the evening, and eavesdropped outside until there was no movement before going in.

When she entered the door, she saw Lin's mother rubbing corn kernels in the yard, still smiling, "Mom, my third sister is gone?"

Lin's mother felt guilty, and wanted to say a few words to Xiaoxin, but then she remembered what Lin Shu said, so she gritted her teeth and continued to rub corn kernels with a stern face.

Seeing her like this, Sun Xiaohong started to wonder, what's wrong? This is... She carried the child into the house, and then she saw that the west door was still locked. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Mom, where is Lin Yue?"

Lin's mother forced herself to stiffen her neck and not answer.

Sun Xiaohong took out the key to open the door, then turned her head to look at the east room, "Dad?" But

Old Man Lin was not there. He ate a nest of eggs and went out to look for cicada monkeys.

Cicada monkeys are free meat given by God. They are nutritious and taste good. Whoever doesn't want them is wasting God's gift. Of course, they have to look for them.

Besides, since they didn't go to work these two days, the old people and children went to the woods and trees to look for them.

Sun Xiaohong opened the door and put her sleeping son on the kang. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong. She turned her head and found that... her sewing machine was gone!!!

Her eyes widened, and she rushed out like a whirlwind, questioning Lin's mother, "Where is my sewing machine?"

"What? It's not in your room?"

"It's gone! Did Lin Shu take it away?"

Lin's mother gathered the corn to give herself courage, "That's your third sister."

"Mom!"

"Your third sister can't even move it."

The sewing machine not only has the main body, but also the baffles.

Sun Xiaohong's eyes almost popped out, staring at Lin's mother, "Lin Yue and the eldest sister-in-law of the Lu family carried it back together?"

"You locked the door, how could they carry it?" "Where is

Lin Yue! Where did he go?"

Lin's mother frowned, "Xiaohong, he is your man, how can you say that about him?"

Sun Xiaohong snorted coldly, "Is he a man? Taking my things to please his third sister?"

Lin's mother insisted that if you locked the door, no one could take it.

Sun Xiaohong: "Do you think I'm stupid? They moved the sewing machine out of the village, wouldn't I know it if I asked around?"

Lin's mother didn't dare to scold her, she could only grumble: "The sewing machine originally belonged to your third sister."

Sun Xiaohong: "That's too much, you guys are too much, your whole family is ganging up on me, bullying me, you don't want to live anymore, right?"

She was furious, and she kicked the winnowing basket that Lin's mother was rubbing corn in.

The corn and corn kernels were scattered all over the ground.

She was too strong and the angle was too good, a corn jumped up and hit Lin's mother in the face, knocking her to the ground immediately.

Lin's mother was stunned when she fell to the ground. She had been honest all her life. Although people in the village would squeeze her and take advantage of her, no one dared to hit her?

Although her mother-in-law scolded her, she didn't even point a finger.

Her old man loved her all his life and never hit her.

She was so old, but she was hit by her daughter-in-law.

"Wu..." Lin's mother cried.

What could she do if she didn't cry? She couldn't explain the sewing machine to her daughter-in-law.

If she didn't cry, Sun Xiaohong would have to ask her for the sewing machine.

Lin's mother's first solution to any problem was to escape, as if there was an invisible shell covering her, providing her with a little sense of security, so that she didn't have to face the storm outside.

At first she didn't dare to cry out loud, she could only sob, and when she cried she remembered Lin Shu's words, you can't fight, you can't cry?

You cry loudly! Cry heartbreakingly!

Lin's mother originally thought that the lady's words were shameful, how embarrassing it was for her to cry at the top of her lungs when she was fine.

At this moment, she felt wronged and in pain, and her sobs turned into loud cries, and the sound became louder and louder.

After crying, she felt that it was not that difficult. After all, she had already cried and embarrassed herself, so what was there to be afraid of?

The more she cried, the smoother it became, and the louder she cried. She was heartbroken, and anyone who heard her cried. She really cried out all the grievances of her life.

"Wow..." She cried like a three-year-old child.

Aunt Lin from next door hurried over, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Although Sun Xiaohong was powerful, she was not the kind of person who would not care about her face and act recklessly. In this era, a daughter-in-law who hits her mother-in-law would be attacked by everyone.

Now, the ones who have the right to speak in the family are basically the mothers-in-law. Even if some people are not on good terms with Lin's mother, they can sympathize with each other. If they see a woman who is also a mother-in-law being bullied by her daughter-in-law, they will attack the daughter-in-law who hits her.

Isn't it said that the most powerful women in the village are the old women who stick together?

Sun Xiaohong felt guilty and a little panicked, "Mom, I... I didn't hit you, you were hit by the stick accidentally."

Aunt Lin supported Lin's mother, "Stop crying, if people hear the joke, don't let the family shame be exposed."

Sun Xiaohong also hurriedly said, "Yes, mother, don't cry, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it, how dare I hit you."

Lin's mother just covered her face and cried endlessly.

At this time, she cried freely and she couldn't stop for a while.

At first Aunt Lin thought that Mother Lin's crying was ugly and shameful. When she forcibly pulled Mother Lin's hands off and saw the bruises on her face, she gasped and shouted, "Sun Xiaohong, you are so cruel. You actually beat your mother-in-law like this!

Your mother-in-law is one of the rare good mothers-in-law in the world. Look at which mother-in-law is like her? The daughter-in-law sleeps with her buttocks in the sun, meals are served to you, and clothes are washed and mended for you. Don't you have to do anything all day except strolling with the children?"

Sun Xiaohong was not convinced, "Auntie, then my eldest sister, second sister, and third sister don't have to go to the fields either, why do I have to go to the fields?"

Aunt Lin: "Then the family is different."

If you have the ability, why don't you marry someone who doesn't require you to go to the fields?

Sun Xiaohong had something to hide. She wanted to marry Lin Yue because he was handsome.

She told her second brother that she liked Lin Yue and asked him to help.

The second brother approached Lin Yue and went bird hunting and swimming together after work.

That noon, they came back from swimming and took a nap in the thatched house in the sunbathing area. In the middle of the nap, the second brother slipped away, and she ran over, took off her clothes and slept in Lin Yue's arms.

At that time, Lin Yue was only 17 years old, full of vigor and vitality, and was impulsive. She was an 18-year-old lady who had developed well, and he couldn't help rubbing against her.

The two of them did something stupid, and the second brother came to "catch them in adultery."

She burst into tears and said she wanted to jump into the river and die.

Lin Yue felt sorry for her, so he agreed to let his second brother marry her.

When Lin's grandmother disagreed, she said she was pregnant, and her parents and brothers accompanied her to visit Lin's mother and father.

Lin's mother was afraid of trouble and afraid that they would make it public, and she was even more afraid that Sun Xiaohong would report her son to the police and shoot him as a hooligan, so she agreed to the marriage.

In 1967, as long as a man and a woman had that kind of thing, the woman could be convicted of hooliganism if she accused the man of being a hooligan.

Anyway, because it was not very decent at the beginning, Sun Xiaohong had a guilty conscience, so she always felt weak, and she was afraid that others would look down on her, so she had to be stronger.

She first controlled Lin Yue tightly, she knew what he liked, if he was obedient, she would satisfy him, if he was not obedient, she would belittle him, and after a few times, she had him under control.

After she got hold of Lin Yue, she naturally put her parents-in-law down and became more and more domineering at home, saying the same thing.

Later, she brainwashed herself that Lin Yue had indeed had sex with her, and he was just being a hooligan!

Who made him unable to hold back?

Now that they are married, he has to listen to her, her parents-in-law have to listen to her, and her three aunts have to help her.

Thinking of this, she immediately became righteous and said, "The sewing machine is my betrothal gift, you must give it to me!"

Lin's mother: "If it's really not possible, I'll raise more money to buy you another one."

Sun Xiaohong raised her eyebrows, "How can it be the same? The betrothal gift was prepared before I got married, and now I'm buying it with my money!"

Lin Yue is the only son in the family, everything belongs to Lin Yue, and what belongs to Lin Yue is hers!
