Chapter 45: Begging at the Door
Lin Shu took out a piece of orange candy given by Pan Pan and threw it to him, saying, "Sweet mouth."
Lin Yue looked at the orange candy, wiped his tears and smiled again. He fiddled with the candy in his hand, "Sister, I want to talk to you."
The old grandson asked Sun Er to apologize to him, and told him that a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace, and asked him to consider Bao Er's face and not let the child be without his biological parents, and not to damage the harmony of the two families and embarrass the elderly. He also asked Sun Xiaohong to apologize to his parents, saying that in the future, his mother would be the head of the family, and Sun Xiaohong would go to the fields to earn work points.
It was the first time in his memory that the old grandson was so humble, because in the past the old grandson always looked at him with a condescending look, as if he was always inferior to the Sun family.
When he was tough, the Sun family became soft, and begged him in a nice voice. If he had been proud in the past, now he would only feel irony.
He listened to the sounds of Sun Xiaohong crying, his son crying, and the quarrels in the house, and he felt a headache and a little confused.
When the anger that was brought out by Zhou's mother and Aunt Lin dissipated, he felt a little weak and empty again. He felt that there were two forks under his feet, and neither of them was a bright road. In the distance, it was dark and foggy and he couldn't see the situation clearly.
He didn't know where to go.
If he chooses divorce, getting rid of the Sun family may seem easy, but if he marries another wife, he will have to rely on luck and the woman's character. If he meets a bad one, not only will his parents suffer, but Baoer will also be tortured, which is another big trouble that cannot be gotten rid of.
If he does not divorce, Sun Xiaohong's temper will make him and his parents more severe after pretending to be humble at present, and the whole family will live in fear brought by her.
He thought about it and couldn't figure it out, so he went out for a walk under the pretext of going to the toilet, and walked to Lujiazhuang.
His third sister has become powerful, capable and temperamental, and the commune has praised her. Even Fang Dihua, who is so powerful, protects her.
He wants to talk to his third sister.
Lin Shu asked him: "Do you really want a divorce, or are you trying to control Sun Xiaohong to make her submit? In other words, if Sun Xiaohong changes, goes to work in the fields, stops beating and scolding her parents, and lives a good life with you, can you forgive her?"
Lin Shu was surprised that Lin Yue, who was always afraid of trouble, could be so stubborn as to want a divorce.
She thought that if Sun Xiaohong's true nature was exposed, her parents and Lin Yue would be disgusted, and Sun Xiaohong would not feel so comfortable in the future.
Divorce was unlikely, after all, in the original plot, Lin Yue was controlled by Sun Xiaohong.
Lin Shu's original plan was to make a scene, so that she and Sun Xiaohong would break up and stop communicating, and her son would not have to call Sun Xiaohong aunt in the future, which would be much less annoying.
Now she has a new respect for Lin Yue. Is there any hope for this brother?
Lin Yue: "She... won't change. I don't want to live with her anymore, but I'm afraid that Baoer will be pitiful, and I'm afraid that divorce will bring shame to you and your parents."
Lin Shu roughly understood his problem. He was not really confused and indecisive, but he was afraid of things and easily retreated when faced with difficulties.
He didn't know what price he had to pay for a choice, and sometimes he would rather not make a choice and let things happen naturally, passively bear it, and take it step by step.
If he didn't make a choice, he wouldn't have to bear the psychological guilt of making a wrong choice.
When he was caught cheating by Sun Er, he was afraid of being beaten and troubled, so he didn't dare to seek the truth and married according to the arrangement of Sun's family.
Now he is forced to divorce by neighbors, or forced to reconcile by Sun's family. As long as it is not his own choice, he will not need to bear psychological pressure when he encounters trouble in the future.
Lin Shu looked at him. The 22-year-old Lin Yue was still a child. It would be fine if he was still 18 years old.
Originally, according to Lin's grandmother, she would wait until he was 19 to start marriage, find him a sensible and knowledgeable daughter-in-law, and take care of him. Then the life of the Lin family would definitely be different.
Unfortunately, the gears of fate have their own way of turning, but Lin Yue dared to file for divorce and still considered the children, which shows that he can still be saved.
She said, "Then let's analyze your concerns."
"You're worried that Bao'er is pitiful. How can Bao'er be pitiful? He is basically brought up with milk, and Sun Xiaohong occasionally takes him out for a walk to show off. Do you think Sun Xiaohong's influence on Bao'er is more good or bad? Bao'er has his grandfather, grandmother and father who love him, so how can he be pitiful?"
"I know you will talk about the stepmother. Divorce and remarriage are very normal problems, there is nothing to be ashamed of. When you remarry, you should open your eyes and find a wife who is good to Baoer. Even if you are afraid that you don't know people well, there are shortcuts. You can find a woman who is infertile and has been hurt by her ex-husband. You treat her well and let Baoer treat her as his own mother and take care of her in the future. They are all good people, so why can't they cultivate feelings?"
Lin Yue listened and nodded. The third sister was really insightful. He only thought that Baoer would have a pitiful stepmother in the future, but didn't think of how to solve it. He would only swear again and again that the worst that could happen is not to remarry.
But to be honest, that was unrealistic. He was only 22 years old.
Lin Shu continued, "As for divorce being shameful? Haha, what kind of view is that? Divorce is because you can't live together anymore, and separation is good for everyone. It's a good thing to save two families, so how can it be shameful? Wouldn't it be shameful to force the couple to stay together and break their heads, or to kill each other one day? Adults must learn to stop losses in time. Besides, divorce is shameful for a while, but your life is for a lifetime. Which is more important, you and your parents living in depression or saving face for a while?"
Lin Yue was suddenly enlightened by what she said, as if a gust of wind blew away the dark fog in the distance, allowing him to see the road extending out from under his feet.
Lin Shu: "Whether you divorce or not, you will definitely encounter a lot of troubles in the future. The key is not to shrink when encountering problems. You must understand what you want, what you care about most, and what you want to protect."
Any choice is correct. The key is to see what the starting point is.
The choice is not immutable and can be revised according to reality.
The most important thing is not to regret or complain after making a choice.
Just like herself, she traveled through time with a clear goal, raising children well, relying on her parents-in-law for the first half of her life and her children for the second half of her life.
Whoever destroys her plan is her enemy.
She will respect the two old people well, let them live happily, grow old slowly, and enjoy their old age after retirement.
She will take good care of her children and let them grow up healthily, be happy, and have a successful career.
If her life changes, she will adjust in time. Now she has added her sister-in-law to her list of people who are just taking advantage of others, right?
If something unexpected happens, she will also come out and fight. After all, she fought for more than 20 years in her previous life when she was in poor health. Now she is in good health, how can she not win?
Sun Xiaohong, who will bring disaster to her children and destruction to the original owner's parents, she also wants to kick her out, right?
Lin Yue smiled, and his bright smile reappeared, "Sister, I think I know what to do."
Lin Shu glanced at him, "It's not about knowing what to do now, but knowing what to do in the future. Sometimes when you encounter a problem, you don't have to hit your head and bleed. You have to use your brain and try to learn to use the force and learn to throw the problem back."
Lin Yue scratched his head, a little bit understood and a little bit not understood. Now that the Sun family is using soft words to force him not to divorce, how should he throw the problem back?
Lin Yue went all the way back to Linjiatun and was caught by Sun San at the entrance of the village.
Sun San smiled and said to him, "Brother-in-law, are you going to ask the third sister for advice again?"
And he said it was not Lin Shu's instigation!
Lin Yue ignored him and went straight home.
The muddy fields these days made it easier for the old Sun family, who were blocked in the yard and the west room.
When the old Sun saw him coming back, he said sarcastically, "Son-in-law, what did the third aunt say?"
Lin Yue clenched his fingers and said slowly, "I have a condition. If you do it, I will forgive Sun Xiaohong for not getting a divorce."
The old Sun felt relieved and smiled immediately. The Sun family also laughed, knowing that Lin Yue was a loser and he didn't dare to confront the Sun family.
Aunt Lin and Zhou's mother were very disappointed. This Lin Yue was really soft-eared and rotten mud couldn't be plastered on the wall.
Father and Mother Lin were silent on the kang, neither of them spoke, but they seemed to have aged a few years in an instant.
Mother Lin sighed, this is my fate, I will be pinched by Sun Xiaohong all my life.
Sun Xiaohong sneered smugly, I know you can't bear to part with the happiness I bring you!
She shouted at Lin Yue, "Alright, you've acted like a monkey for two days enough. I won't let my second brother beat you anymore."
Lin Yue didn't look at her, but said to the old grandson, "You have to explain clearly in front of everyone how the Sun family plotted against me, apologize to my grandma and my parents, deduct the normal gift for marrying a wife, and return the extra three hundred yuan to us! In addition, Sun Xiaohong has to apologize to my mother. From now on, my mother will be the head of the family, and Sun Xiaohong will go to the fields to earn work points. You are not allowed to beat or scold the elderly anymore."
"Dream on! Dream on!" Sun Xiaohong jumped up and was about to grab her.
Aunt Lin was quick-witted and slapped Sun Xiao’s red face. “Sit down!”
She was urged by Zhou’s mother and others. These days, she had a strong sense of mission and acted like the head of the Lin family.
Sun Er also roared, “What nonsense are you talking about? Who plotted against you?”
He wanted to rush up and hit Lin Yue, but the old secretary waved her hand and several men immediately blocked him.
The old secretary scolded, “You only know how to wave your fists. Are you a bandit or a bully? If you do this again, I will catch you!”
Lin Yue stared at the old grandson coldly, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart. His sister was so smart.
Look, the old grandson was killed in an instant!
The old grandson was really caught off guard and didn’t know what to choose for a while.
He is old and shrewd." "Son-in-law, don't talk nonsense. You were wrong in the past. It was Xiaohong who protected you all the time."
Lin Yue stopped talking. He had figured out what he wanted and what he cared about the most.
He could marry Sun Xiaohong because of what happened between him and her, but he shouldn't ignore the trap set by the Sun family, and he shouldn't let the Sun family use it as an excuse to hurt grandma, parents, and third sister, bringing shame to them. He wanted to be pinched by Sun Xiaohong all the time and feel inferior to others.
He wanted to clear the Lin family's name and live a peaceful life.
In the evening, Lin Shu briefly told Fang Dihua and Lu Dasao about her mother's family affairs, saying that her brother might get divorced.
Fang Dihua understood very well and asked Lu Dasao to accompany Lin Shu back to her mother's house tomorrow. Go home and take a look, give Lin Yue some advice, and come back to call for help if there is any need.
Sister-in-law Lu was very happy to do so. She loved eating melons as much as Lin Shu, and when she got angry, she would even eat her own melons.
Originally, Lin Shu planned to go back to her parents' home with her sister-in-law after breakfast, but when Fang Dihua just got up early in the morning to open the gate, the old grandson was already waiting outside with his son.
When he saw Fang Dihua, the old grandson immediately smiled and greeted her, thanking her for letting her daughter bring back the peaches, which were very sweet.
Fang Dihua: "A few peaches are not worth much, why bother to make a long trip? "
The old grandson looked embarrassed and quickly told Fang Dihua about the sewing loom, "Now the daughter and son-in-law are quarreling again. Alas, young people are impulsive and want to divorce for no reason."
He tried his best to make Fang Dihua think that it was Lin Shu who went back to her parents' home to make trouble and caused her brother and sister-in-law to divorce.
However, Fang Dihua did not do as he wished and asked back, "The sewing loom was the betrothal gift I bought for my daughter-in-law. How could it let your daughter quarrel over divorce? "
The old boss Sun again resorted to the trick of crying for poverty and selling out miserably. The poor son of the family cannot afford a wife and needs the help of his daughter. "Hey, my daughter is not sensible. I only returned her third aunt's sewing machine now. I am really embarrassed. I want to apologize to my eldest sister.
Fang Dihua: "Hey, you and I have different ideas. Our three wives were all married by our sons, not our daughters. " "
Old Mr. Sun: "..."
He felt ashamed and angry at being slapped in public.
He endured the pain and said: "It's because the old man is incompetent, his family is poor, and his son has no future."
Fang Dihua: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and it's not your fault. " "
The old grandson was relieved to see that she let him go, and said, "Please ask the third aunt to go and talk to her son-in-law."
Fang Dihua: "My third daughter-in-law has no say in the matter between your daughter and son-in-law?"
The old grandson was so angry, your third daughter-in-law has no say? As soon as she went back, she interfered with her brother's divorce!
He didn't dare to say it, so he had to smile and said, "After all, the third aunt is the elder sister, and it is natural for her to scold her younger brothers and sisters."
Fang Dihua: "How come I heard that your daughter beat the mother-in-law?"
The old grandson's face hurt immediately and he denied it flatly, "No, no, no, how could that be? It's just the children playing. "
He was determined not to admit that his daughter beat her mother-in-law and made her sick, and he could not admit that he had set up the trap that year. He also did not want his daughter to divorce Lin Yue, so today he had to use both soft and hard methods to force Lin Shu to go back and make peace.
Lin Shu had already gotten up and was swatting mosquitoes on the kang.
Although there was a mosquito net, the damn mosquitoes still drilled in and actually bit Panpan through the mosquito net, leaving her with several lumps. The poor kid also made a huge sacrifice for his old mother and sister.
She and Tiantian were fine, without a single lump.
She applied comfrey ointment on the baby, kissed his soft little arms, and pulled a sheet over his belly.
The mosquito was too full of blood to fly, so it landed on the mosquito net and was slapped to death by her.
She got down to the ground, stroking her white and tender fingers, and said to the old grandson in surprise: "Hey, isn't this Grandpa Sun?"
The old grandson nodded and smiled, "Aunt, are you hitting mosquitoes? I'll send you two mosquito repellent plants later, they're useful."
Lin Shu: "That's right."
She spread her hands to show him, "Look, there are so many living things in this world, cats have their own ways, insects have their own ways, and so on. Daoer. Cicadas
are noisy but cicada monkeys are delicious, caterpillars are disgusting but butterflies are beautiful.
As for the damn mosquitoes and flies, one can't get enough of sucking blood, and when it's full, it doesn't want to leave or spit out, and wants to cling to you to continue sucking, and another chases you and buzzes, and you can't drive it away, what a shameless death! "
