Chapter 42: Setting the Game



Chapter 42 Setting up a trap

Hearing her say this, Lin's mother also gave up and said weakly: "Then what do you say?"

Sun Xiaohong: "Either return the sewing machine to me, or ask her to give me two hundred yuan."

The sewing machine is one hundred and fifty yuan, and the ticket costs fifty yuan.

Lin's mother: "That was originally bought for her by her in-laws."

Sun Xiaohong: "I don't care, you can say it's a betrothal gift to me."

Aunt Lin: "That's not right, Sun Xiaohong, your family was talking about the betrothal gift as a conversion fee. You didn't have a betrothal gift, and your new clothes were converted into money by your parents."

Sun Xiaohong was embarrassed for a moment, but said righteously: "It doesn't matter, anyway, what was in my room when I entered the house was mine."

Aunt Lin and Lin's mother united against the enemy, "It's unreasonable for you to say this. The matchmaker is still here, and the neighbors who came to attend the wedding are still here."

Sun Xiaohong just refused to admit it. What you are talking about are yours, I only care about the things in my new room.

Aunt Lin was furious, "So you think your man is not as good as a sewing machine, right?"

Sewing machine or man?

Sun Xiaohong didn't understand this, she said: "Of course I want both, they are all mine, why shouldn't I want them?"

She always thought that the Lin family was very poor, and she was willing to marry into the family to give the Lin family a lot of face.

Mother Lin thought about what Lin Shu said and didn't argue with her. She said to Aunt Lin: "Sister-in-law, my head hurts so much, I feel dizzy and nauseous, and my heart is pounding..."

She couldn't quarrel with others, because once she quarreled, her heart would be pounding and her hands and feet would become weak.

Aunt Lin: "Come on, go to my house and take a rest for a while."

Aunt Lin helped Lin's mother out and deliberately shouted loudly in the alley. Some maids heard it and came to see what was going on.

When they saw Lin's mother's face, they exclaimed, "What happened?"

Aunt Lin: "My daughter-in-law beat me."

Several maids immediately became upset, "How can the daughter of the old Sun family be so bad? She dared to beat her mother-in-law? Isn't it rebellious?"

Lin's mother went to her sister-in-law's house, and she was still a little worried, fearing that Sun Xiaohong would lose her temper and smash things at home.

There was only one hot pot at home, and there were only a few basins, bowls, and teacups. If they were broken, they would have to buy new ones, which were very expensive.

Lin's mother lived a hard and poor life. She had to save up everything, and she was reluctant to waste anything.

Even if Sun Xiaohong broke the urine pot, she felt sad.

Aunt Lin persuaded her in a low voice, "She treats that house as her own, how could she bear to cause harm?"

She was a bystander and saw clearly that Sun Xiaohong had always treated Lin Yue and her parents-in-law as her own private property, letting them work for her to earn money to support her, and she wanted to get money from her three sisters-in-law.

Now you go and break a bowl to try it?

I guarantee she won't be happy.

People are like this, whoever is in charge of the family and treats the family as his own will love it with true feelings.

Those who go back to their parents' home and make trouble all day long, because she doesn't regard her husband's family as her own home, or her husband and husband don't give her the feeling that this home is her own home. She will make trouble wherever she regards as her real home.

Aunt Lin saw that Sun Xiaohong was selfish. She manipulated her parents-in-law and men for her own enjoyment, and did not subsidize her parents-in-law. She even went back to her parents-in-law's house to have a good meal to make up for herself.

Aunt Lin saw through her. When her parents-in-law were young, they made them work. When they could no longer work, they would probably kick them out to the three aunts to take care of them. After comparing,

Aunt Lin felt that the daughter-in-law she found was much better than the one Lin's mother found.

Sure enough, Sun Xiaohong was seen through by Aunt Lin. After Lin's mother left, she was very angry at home.

She wanted to go to her parents-in-law's room to make trouble, but what was there in their room?

There were mirrors broken into spider patterns, teacups with broken porcelain, porcelain bowls with chips, and a needle and thread basket.

The hot pot, fine enamel basins and jars in the house were all in her room.

If she wanted to take things out to vent her anger, it would be against her own heart, so of course it was not okay.

But her sewing machine!

Sun Xiaohong felt a surge of anger in her chest, unable to get out or get out, so angry that she kept stamping her feet and jumping around, beating her chest and sobbing.

Robber, robber!

I must go to Lujiazhuang to get it back!

She stuffed the child into Aunt Lin's house, and when she went out to inquire, she found out that it was Lin Yue, her cousin and Zhou Weimin who sent the sewing machine to Lujiazhuang together!

She ran to Zhou Weimin to make a fuss.

Zhou Weimin is an unmarried young man, and his mother loves him very much. He just heard from his mother-in-law that Sun Xiaohong beat her mother-in-law, so how can he be nice to her?

Zhou's mother stopped her with a cold face, "Sun Xiaohong, what are you doing?"

She did not call Sun Xiaohong Lin Yue's wife, but called her by her name, which made Sun Xiaohong very angry.

She said coldly, "Auntie, I have to ask, why did Weimin send my sewing machine to Lujiazhuang?"

Zhou's mother directly retorted, "Then you have to ask your husband and your parents-in-law, our Weimin is here to help."

Did you call our Weimin, a slut?

What's wrong, you think Lin Yue is useless, and you want to seduce our Weimin?

Sun Xiaohong: "He helped carry it over, who

else should I ask if not him? Why is he so active?" Zhou's mother: "Don't talk nonsense in my house, I'm not your soft-hearted mother-in-law, who can bully everyone? How did you marry Lin Yue in the first place, do you think we don't know? You bitch."

Sun Xiaohong's face flushed red, she was so embarrassed, she had the courage to do it but was too ashamed to let others say it, so she was about to make a scene.

Zhou's mother pushed her out directly, "Go to the street and make a scene, let everyone hear your gossip."

She looked down on the Lin family in the first place, and just now she heard that Lin's mother was kicked by Sun Xiaohong at home and cried but didn't dare to fight back, so she felt that Lin's mother was a coward and looked down on her even more.

Sun Xiaohong came to her house to show off, how could she get used to it?

Sun Xiaohong was pushed out by her and stood at the door, yelling angrily.

Soon, the maids gathered around and deliberately asked, "Whose daughter-in-law is this? Why is she so unruly?"

"She is showing off, what a rude woman!"

"Oh, isn't this the daughter of the old Sun family? She's so coquettish before she gets married that she wants to sleep with men everywhere. Only an honest boy like Lin Yue was deceived by her."

Sun Xiaohong was so angry that her face turned blue and black, and she was shaking all over. She pointed at them and said, "You, you just wait for me."

Originally, it was about the sewing machine, and it was originally a conflict between her and Lin Shu. Now, because she kicked Lin's mother, it suddenly became a conflict between her and all the old women.

Originally, those old women might not help Lin's mother, but the fact that they share the same hatred and enemies is very mysterious.

They formed a group.

Sun Xiaohong ran back to her parents' home to complain in one breath.

Sunjia Village is not far from Linjia Village, but it was scary to see her come back late at night. Everyone thought she had something urgent.

Old Mrs. Sun said: "My dear girl, what happened? Who bullied you?"

Sun Xiaohong cried and complained, asking her parents and brothers to support her.

The old lady Sun was so angry that she immediately organized a raid on the family and beat them up, "They are rebelling!"

The old grandson was still rational, "This matter is not easy to handle, you go and beat up the in-laws?" The old

lady Sun said: "Then you have to reason with them. Why do they bully their daughter-in-law?"

The old grandson said: "Didn't you hear that it was our daughter who accidentally kicked the mother-in-law."

The old lady Sun said: "Then go and reason with them. Why don't you protect your daughter-in-law and let her be bullied by the villagers?"

The old grandson was very clear-headed. If the parents of the Lin family could protect their daughter-in-law, they would not have been unable to protect their son. Then how could his daughter marry Lin Yue? The old grandson thought that

he was not a rogue, but he had many sons and no money at home, so it was difficult to find a daughter-in-law.

I am just a daughter who is not very good-looking. It is impossible to marry a rich family to take care of my brothers. I have to resort to some tricks.

He picked and selected the Lin family. The Lin family had three daughters and one son, and all three daughters were very good-looking. The eldest and second sisters were married in the city and they could get money from their parents' families. It would be great if the third daughter matched his second son.

The key point is that although Lin Yue is tall, he has a simple and soft personality, which is easy to handle, and his appearance is very handsome, which is liked by all the girls.

Of course, my daughter fell in love with her at first sight.

The old lady of the Lin family is very smart. She has married several of her granddaughters into good families. She has less sons and less expenses. Naturally, she is trying her best to find a marriage partner who can help the Lin family.

At that time, Lin Yue was still young, and the old lady was not in a hurry. She thought it would not be too late to start looking for a girl for him at the age of 19, and even wanted to find him a job in the commune or county.

If the daughter of the family did not take the initiative to approach him, there would be no marriage.

He asked the second son to get close to Lin Yue, and after getting familiar with him, he would let the daughter of the family go over and take Lin Yue down, so that the second son could catch him in the act.

Lin Yue was really panicked. He agreed to everything the daughter of the family said, but he did not agree to let Lin Shu marry his second son. Not only did Lin Yue disagree, but his grandmother, parents also disagreed.

He said that he had to give a high gift to his grandson's family, otherwise it would be difficult to do.

Grandma Lin refused to agree.

He suggested to the daughter that she should say she was pregnant. After all, it was natural for her to have the second and third time after the first time she and Lin Yue had it. Pregnancy was a matter of time.

Lin's grandmother disagreed and asked her to go to the brigade to sort it out. He threatened Lin Yue's parents, and sure enough, Lin's mother was timid and agreed immediately.

She refused to marry Lin Shu to her second son, but was willing to give a high gift.

The Lin family gave all the gifts of the three daughters to the Sun family, helping the Sun family solve their urgent needs. Not only did they marry the second son, but they also married the third and fourth sons.

The old grandson did not think he had done anything wrong. After all, the daughter liked Lin Yue, and his family also married his son, which was a happy thing.

Therefore, he treats his son-in-law very well every day. He always asks his daughter to bring him to the house for meals and to cultivate feelings.

This is the Lin family... No, it sounds like this third aunt has changed.

Against the Lu family?

Mr. Sun is a little unsure.

He has many sons, four of them, but the Lu family has great prestige in Lujiazhuang. If he raises his hand, there will probably be a lot of people to help him, and a fight will not work.

It's not worth breaking your head for a sewing machine.

A man can fight for a breath, but not for a sewing machine.

Besides, this sewing machine really belongs to my third aunt.

Furthermore, the third aunt’s man is a martyr, so why should he steal the sewing machine from the martyr’s family?

Then the old Sun family must not be blamed by the commune?

The old grandson gives people the impression of being rude and brainless, but he is actually very smart. He will not make a deal that will make him lose money.

He loves his daughter, but it is not worth offending the Lu family for her, especially since this is not a big deal for her, but just a sewing machine.

The third aunt of the Lin family is too ignorant. Can't you be tolerant for your brother?

The sewing machine has been used by your brother's wife for so many years, why do you have to take it back now?

It's too selfish and ignorant.

After all, the daughter has to be tolerant. After all, he is reluctant to spend money to buy a new sewing machine for his daughter, right?

Even if he is willing, his son and his wife will not be willing to do so.

There was nothing to cause trouble at Linjiatun, because Sun Xiaohong had beaten her mother-in-law, and since she was the head of the family, the things she smashed and destroyed were hers.

Sun Xiaohong had to endure this.

Sun Xiaohong didn't expect that she would have to endure this result when she went back to her parents' home to find someone to support her.

She felt more and more upset and cried, and wanted to find Lin Yue to punish him, but he disappeared without a trace.

Old Sun sent her back. He originally wanted to have a chat with Lin's father and mother, and to scare the honest people to protect their daughter. But as soon as he entered the door, he saw the barefoot doctor giving an injection to Lin's mother.

Sun Xiaohong was anxious, "Are you sick? What's wrong? You were fine when I left."

And he asked the barefoot doctor to come over. Wouldn't it cost money?

When Father Lin saw her and her grandson coming over, he said, "Daughter-in-law, hurry up and give the doctor money. Your mother... hey, she needs an IV drip."

Sun Xiaohong: "What's wrong with her that requires an IV drip?"

Father Lin said with a sullen face, "My in-laws are here too, tell me why."

The old grandson said, "Don't be angry, it's just a child's temper. It's no big deal. She's still a child."

Father Lin asked his daughter-in-law to take the money, "All the money in the family is in your hands."

Sun Xiaohong: "You didn't give me all the money sent back by my elder and second aunts."

Father Lin: "What can you do with just a few cents? Didn't you take the bulk of it? The work points and dividends in the family are all locked in your cabinet."

In addition to the barefoot doctor, there were Aunt Lin, Zhou's mother, and two other women in the room. They came to see Lin's mother.

Sun Xiaohong didn't expect that she would be even more embarrassed when she went home to ask for help.

Several women chattered and squeezed her to take the money.

The old grandson was embarrassed and asked his daughter to quickly take money to pay for her mother-in-law's medical treatment.

Sun Xiaohong felt pain in her flesh. She had always thought that her parents-in-law were working hard to earn money, but how could she know that they would have to spend money?

She had previously supported her second brother by twenty dollars, but now she was not well off.

The barefoot doctor looked at them and said, "It's expensive to hang up a bottle, one bottle costs fifty cents."

Sun Xiaohong blurted out, "Then why not get a small injection? Ten cents is enough, maybe just take some medicine and it will be fine, why do you prescribe such an expensive medicine?"

The barefoot doctor got anxious, "What's the matter, you still rely on me to prescribe medicine? First, your mother-in-law had her head broken by you, and then you made her have a heart disease because of you. The small injection is not effective enough and it doesn't work. If you don't get the drip, you can just wait for the feast!"

Sun Xiaohong wanted to argue, but old Sun got anxious. If he pressed his own daughter's head and made her mother-in-law angry to death, would he still have such a good reputation?

He hurriedly said, "It's not her who is angry. It's my mother-in-law who has been in poor health and has been sick. Today, the daughter-in-law came back and took away the sewing machine. Maybe it's the daughter-in-law who is angry."

Originally, he pressed his head and said that Lin's mother was in poor health, so Lin's father tolerated it. Now he pressed his head and

said that the daughter-in-law was angry, so Lin's father got angry. Lin's father said, "The sewing machine belongs to my daughter-in-law. She took it back and she was right. We are not angry. Today, the daughter-in-law came back and

made a scene. She kicked her mother-in-law on the head. You can see that her face is swollen." The barefoot doctor immediately shone the flashlight over and saw that Lin's mother's forehead and eyes were swollen, and the oily skin was broken, and now there was a little gauze sticking to it.

The old grandson was speechless immediately. He glared at the daughter-in-law and said angrily, "You kid, you are playing with your mother-in-law, and you are so strong? You are not careful at all."

Sun Xiaohong wanted to use the sewing machine, but the old grandson held her down and said, "Use the money to treat your mother-in-law's illness. In the future, you should respect the elderly and serve your parents-in-law."

If the whole Linjiatun spread the news that his daughter-in-law beat and scolded her mother-in-law, how would the old grandson's family still have face? Then the daughter-in-law and son-in-law's family would ask what happened, and it would be embarrassing.

Lin's mother groaned from time to time and cried in pain, "I, I am afraid I can't make it. Hurry up and send a telegram to the daughter-in-law..."

Everyone comforted her again.

Sun Xiaohong suddenly realized that although she was arrogant and powerful in the Lin family, in fact...

the sewing machine was taken back by her third aunt, and she couldn't take it back because her parents-in-law were incompetent and her parents would never offend the Lu family for her.

After all this, she had to swallow her anger?

She felt so aggrieved.

She suddenly missed Lin Yue so much.

Lin Yue was a kind, warm and good-tempered man. He didn't blame her for what happened that year, but married her according to her arrangement.

After marriage, he basically listened to her. Although she disliked his incompetence, he never blamed her and let her have the final say in the family.

The old grandson was still sighing there, "Oh, our family was poor back then, it was all because of me, an old thing, who was useless. My son needed to collect the dowry for his wife, but I couldn't afford it even if I broke my bones, so I could only let my daughter-in-law down a bit and let my in-laws convert her dowry into cash. The daughter-in-law didn't know, so she thought the sewing loom was hers. She really didn't mean to occupy the sewing loom of my third aunt."

He had to make up for his family and the daughter-in-law. He couldn't let people point fingers at him and say that his family sold the daughter-in-law and that the daughter-in-law controlled her in-laws. He had to create an image of an old father who was willing to endure hardships for his children.

Father Lin suddenly said, "If you say so, then your four sons can marry wives with the money of our Lin family. We don't owe your daughter. We have given three betrothal gifts. Now that you are well-off, you can make up for the sewing machine you owe your daughter. It's not much, just 200 yuan."

What?

The old grandson was like a chicken with its throat pinched. He couldn't speak, but could only make a clucking sound.
