Chapter 43 Adding fuel to the fire

The old grandson was stunned by Lin's father's words, as if he had encountered a major crisis and entered a state of paralysis.

Others also echoed Lin's father, "Yes, you took three betrothal gifts back then, and you also cashed in the betrothal gifts for the daughter-in-law, which means you took four, right? It's incredible. The four sons of the old grandson's family all married their wives by spending the Lin family's money."

The old grandson was very anxious. No, no, this statement cannot be admitted. If it gets out, the old grandson's family will not be able to hold their heads up.

His descendants all owe the Lin family.

Zhou's mother and Aunt Lin are trying their best to force the old grandson to buy the sewing machine today.

Don't buy it? Then you are selling the daughter of a noble family, and you are relying on the Lin family to marry a daughter-in-law.

Old Suntou felt as if he was being roasted on a fire, and he could hear the sizzling sound of tar being roasted. He really regretted coming here, it was unnecessary.

Now he was in a dilemma, what should he do?

Agree? He couldn't bear to part with the money!

If he didn't agree, he would lose face for the old Sun family! He

was really in a dilemma.

He just winked at the daughter of a noble family, and as long as the daughter of a noble family said loudly that she didn't want it, the matter would be over.

But Sun Xiaohong didn't miss Lin Yue at all. Since she married Lin Yue, the two had never been separated. Now he actually ignored her and ran away. She was afraid that he would be seduced by other women.

He is healthy, tall and handsome, and is very popular with women. He is also good at being humble and serving others, isn't that right?

Sun Xiaohong got anxious all of a sudden!

Old Suntou coughed, "My dear, you don't usually do needlework, and this sewing machine..."

Sun Xiaohong: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Sun Xiaohong picked up her son and went to her room to sleep with her head drooping.

She hoped that the day would come soon, and she would go to find Lin Yue as soon as it got light.

Old Suntou was so frustrated!

He didn't give his daughter-in-law a sewing machine as a betrothal gift!

The barefoot doctor also joined the crowd, and today Old Suntou couldn't leave without paying.

With no choice, the grandson had to grit his teeth and agree, "Hit."

His eyes went dark, his chest was filled with blood, and his mouth was filled with rust, as if a mouthful of blood was about to gush out in the next moment. It was

really a heavy bleeding!

At dawn the next day, the Lu family got up and started cutting trees.

The fields were still muddy and they couldn't walk, and they still didn't go to the fields today. The production team arranged for the members to weave baskets, repair farm tools and other tasks, and each family could also deal with it if they had something to do.

Lu's second brother, Lin Yue, Lu Changfu, Xu Laonian's two sons, Lu's eldest brother and several other men, a total of more than ten men were cutting trees together in the yard.

Whether they are building a house or cutting down trees, the country people will help together if it is a labor-intensive job.

Some of them are responsible for sawing tree branches, and some are responsible for tying supporting sticks to other trees. When the tree trunk falls, it can be supported by the sticks to prevent it from falling directly.

The top of a big locust tree has been trimmed smooth, and it is difficult to cut the higher parts, so they leave it for the time being, and then start sawing the lower parts.

The two sawed the wood back and forth, making a crackling sound.

Lin Shu was afraid of hurting the children, so she asked Tiantian and Panpan to go to the street to find other children to play with, and she boiled water to make egg sweet soup for everyone to drink.

If you kill a tree, you don't have to provide a meal, but you have to give them a cigarette and a bowl of soup.

When it was daylight, four female educated youth from the brigade came to help, saying that they were visiting the wives of soldiers and doing good deeds.

They ran to one side to help drag the sawn branches, and each of them was very hardworking.

Lin Shu was puzzled, what was going on? The Lu family and these educated youth had never met before, what were they doing here?

Soon she found out that these four people were looking for Lin Yue.

Lin Shu: Damn it, Lin Yue, that bastard, just went out to look for cicadas and monkeys for a while last night, how did he provoke the female educated youth to come to visit the wives of soldiers?

The yard was a mess, and she didn't have time to ask, so she just let them go.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"We're going to pull down the trunk!"

The men tied a thick rope to the trunk, and when it was about to be cut, more than a dozen men had to pull the trunk to the predetermined position together. They couldn't let it fall down casually, otherwise it would hit the house or something else.

"One, two, one, two"

the crowd shouted, and "crack", the tree fell down and was pulled to the base of the east wall.

Lin Yue lifted his sweat shirt to wipe the sweat off his forehead, revealing a bright and handsome smile.

At this time, a young and beautiful girl came up and smiled at him, "Comrade Lin Yue, I am the educated youth correspondent of Lujiazhuang Brigade and also a temporary reporter of the commune. Can I interview you?"

Lin Yue suddenly felt a little restrained, "What do you want to interview me about? You are here to interview my sister and old doctor Lu, right?"

The female educated youth smiled and said, "Yes, but I want to interview you too."

At this time, Sun Xiaohong rushed in from outside and happened to see this scene. She rushed over and roared, "Lin Yue!"

Lin Yue was so scared that he immediately hid behind his sister Lin Shu and grabbed Lin Shu's clothes.

Lin Shu picked up a saw next to her and forcefully stuffed it into Sun Xiaohong's hand, "Come and help us, hurry up, we are short of manpower."

Sun Xiaohong wanted to leave, but met Lin Shu's cold eyes.

Lin Shu: "If you dare to make trouble in my house, I will let my sister-in-law slap you."

Sun Xiaohong was shocked.

She found that she used to have the final say in the Lin family, but it turned out that her parents-in-law and men were too soft and gave in to her because they were afraid of her. After

leaving her husband's family, people outside would not take her seriously at all.

A few old women could attack her.

In the past, they would at most look at her with a little meaning, but they would not say it as bluntly as they do now.

The third aunt who dared not refute him was also very powerful. She dared to take his sewing machine and threatened him to work.

Everyone was busy, but no one cared what she thought.

Lin Yue saw that Sun Xiaohong was suppressed by her sister and ran to work again.

Others were busy taking the cut branches to the open space and chopping them up, then drying them for firewood. Some people even trimmed branches as thick as their arms to use as handles for farm tools such as shovels.

Sun Xiaohong felt very confused. She had come here to make trouble, but how did she end up helping her third aunt?

They worked from dawn to noon, but they only killed two big trees.

Everyone went home to eat, and then came back to help. They

could kill another tree in the afternoon.

Sun Xiaohong kept staring at Lin Yue and wanted to talk to him, but Lin Yue was afraid that she would pinch him, and he was also afraid that it would be too embarrassing in front of so many people, so he kept avoiding her.

Lin Shu stuffed two steamed buns into her mouth and said, "Eat, and then continue to work."

Sun Xiaohong wanted to throw them on Lin Shu's face, but she met Lin Shu's beautiful and calm black eyes, which were clear and cold, as if saying, "If you dare to mess around, I will slap you.

If I can't slap you, I will let my mother-in-law and my eldest sister-in-law slap you. "

Sun Xiaohong was so angry that she snatched the steamed bun away.

Fang Dihua glanced at her and said, "Everyone here is a guest, so eat well." As

soon as Fang Dihua said that, Sun Xiaohong didn't dare to mess around at all, and sat there to eat obediently.

Second Sister-in-law Lu wanted to see Lin Shu in a good mood, so she deliberately went over to ask her, "Are you the wife of my brother-in-law?"

Sun Xiaohong saw someone talking to her, and her eyes turned red with grievance, "Sister-in-law."

Second Sister-in-law Lu: "Hey, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Sun Xiaohong said nothing.

Many people are very arrogant at home, but they are very friendly with outsiders when they go out, and they don't have any temper at all.

Sun Xiaohong was on the Lu family's territory, looking at the tall Fang Dihua and Lu's eldest sister-in-law, and she really didn't dare to... say bad things about the third aunt.

She was afraid of being beaten.

Another tree was killed in the afternoon. Next, the Lu family will slowly repair the tree branches and dig out the tree stump.

They also have to plant new saplings in the original tree pit.

Farmers are very careful with every inch of land. Many people plant trees in front of and behind their houses when they start building them, waiting for their children to grow up and get married so that they can build houses and furniture.

The Lu family is no exception.

In the past, when doing business, they were particular about not planting mulberry trees in front of the house or willow trees in the back, and not having ghosts clapping in the yard.

After the public-private partnership, they could not do business. Timber was more important than anything else, so they didn't care about it. They just planted whatever timber they needed.

At this time, the Lu family still had a cypress tree. The wood was fine, and everyone would come to cut pine and cypress and wear it on their heads during the Qingming Festival.

In the evening, Fang Dihua called Sun Xiaohong and Lin Yue together.

No matter how arrogant Sun Xiaohong is in the Lin family, she has to sit like a primary school student in front of Fang Dihua.

Lin Yue is even more nervous, and his calves are shaking.

Fang Dihua's aura is natural, not something Lin Shu forced out by watching TV dramas.

Fang Dihua: "Is it because of the conflict with the sewing machine?"

Lin Yue shook his head vigorously, "No, no."

Sun Xiaohong pursed her lips and said nothing.

Fang Dihua: "I don't care what you say, I bought the sewing machine for my daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law was kind enough to lend it to my brother for two years. Now it's time to return it."

Lin Yue nodded repeatedly, "It's my duty."

Fang Dihua glanced at Sun Xiaohong. She had no obligation to tutor other people's daughters-in-law, but if this person wanted to hurt her daughter-in-law, that wouldn't work. Sun Xiaohong

pursed her lips. She didn't dare to vent her resentment towards her third aunt on Fang Dihua. She was not convinced that everyone was treating her like a daughter of the Sun family, so she said, "My father... said he would buy me a sewing machine!"

She was very proud.

Fang Dihua raised her eyebrows, "Oh, my in-laws are finally sensible."

Sun Xiaohong: "..."

She felt even more frustrated and angry.

Fang Dihua was impatient to chat with her, so she asked Lin Shu and her sister-in-law to pack a small basket of peaches and pushed it to Sun Xiaohong, "Take it back for your parents to taste."

Lin Yue: "Thank you, Auntie."

Fang Dihua: "Okay, hurry up and eat, and go back early after dinner."

She knew that her daughter-in-law wanted to keep her brother for a few more days, but since the daughter-in-law came to visit, she had to go back.

After dinner, Lin Yue reluctantly said goodbye to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu was very impatient, where did you get the deep sister-brother love from? What are you pretending for?

She said to Lin Yue, "The commune will be selecting tractor drivers in a few days. You and dad should sign up and try it out."

Lin Yue: "Dad is going too?"

Lin Shu: "Why? My sister-in-law is going. How can he, a grown man, not dare to do it? Tell him that this is a matter of face and status. If he does well, he will be praised by the leaders. Others will not dare to bully him. He will take care of it."

In fact, Lin's father learns things very quickly, but he is not confident and afraid of failure. He always stops at a shallow level and regrets it when he looks back. It's like he has learned it and brags about it.

Lin Yue: "Okay."

Sun Xiaohong sneered. An old man is going to learn to drive a tractor? He is dreaming!

Lin Yue and Sun Xiaohong left Lujiazhuang and walked home.

On the way, Sun Xiaohong felt more and more wronged, and she started crying, "Lin Yue, you bastard, you bastard!" She stretched out her hand to pinch Lin Yue's ears, pinching the flesh on his arms and waist.

Lin Yue endured it at first, and dodged when it really hurt.

Sun Xiaohong: "Lin Yue, stop right there!"

Lin Yue: "If you hit me again, I..."

Sun Xiaohong said rudely: "What are you doing?"

Lin Yue didn't dare to ask for a divorce, he said angrily: "I will tell my third sister... mother-in-law."

Sun Xiaohong wanted him to accompany her back to her parents' home to send Taoer off, but Lin Yue wanted to go home to see his parents first.

He didn't know what Sun Xiaohong did last night, he didn't dare to ask.

In the morning, his sister scolded him, saying that he slept like a pig last night and didn't worry about his parents at all.

But seeing that she didn't make a fuss, and the old grandson promised to buy her a sewing machine, maybe it should be okay.

Sun Xiaohong was very dissatisfied. This man said that he would listen to her in everything, but what about it?

When his third sister came back, he left her behind to go see her, and even gave her sewing machine to her.

Now she asked him to accompany her back to her parents' home, but he insisted on going to see his parents.

Men's words are lies!

She couldn't relax for a moment with him, she had to hold him in her hands.

Although her mother-in-law was still on IV drip, Sun Xiaohong was not afraid of Lin Yue. She was not afraid of him at all.

Maybe it was because she was the one who took the initiative at first, and she had the initiative between the two of them, holding Lin Yue's nose, knowing what he looked like when he was a wolf, and knowing his most secretive appearance, she had a kind of confidence that she had completely controlled him and was closer to him than he was to his parents and sister.

Her trump card is to control Lin Yue at the critical moment, to make him beg her, to make him swear to listen to her, or she will not satisfy him.

This is what her mother taught her!

And she

has tried it many times and it never fails. So no matter what she does, she is not afraid of Lin Yue at all.

Anyway, he has a good temper and will not hit her.

She forced Lin Yue to go back to her mother's house with her first, but Lin Yue left the basket of peaches and ran away.

Lin Yue went home and met Zhou's mother at the intersection.

When Zhou's mother saw him coming back, she said with a click of the tongue: "Lin Yue, you should hide away. Your wife beat your mother and her head was broken and she has to hang a drip. Your wife also brought her father back to make trouble. Tsk tsk, why did your wife bring you back?"

Lin Yue's head buzzed. Sun Xiaohong beat his mother? Broken head?

Just for his third sister's sewing machine?

Even if his third sister was angry, she only hit his legs with a poker, and didn't hit his head or face.

Sun Xiaohong actually hit his mother's face!

Lin Yue suddenly felt a crackling in his chest, as painful as if a cut was made by a human being. He suddenly remembered the words his grandmother scolded him.

The milk said, "Lin Yue, you are the grandson of the Lin family, the boy, you have to stand up. If you do n’t stand up, your sister, your father and mother are guilty."

When the Sun family forced marriage, grandma was angry and scolded him, "Are you still a man? She still fluttered, and the commune would not listen to her words, who would be shot at you, and if she shot you, the milk would be blocked by you. " He thought about

it?
