Chapter 156 Secretly Received the Bride Gift
Lin Hua felt that he had greeted everyone enough, so he gave Lin Li and Mu Qing some space to chat.
He went outside.
As soon as Lin Hua left, Mu Qing looked at Lin Li with envy, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
I looked at the window again, wondering if Lin Hua had left.
Lin Li smiled: "Sister is acting suspiciously, are you going to say something bad about my brother? If you want to say something, just say it quickly, he's out."
"Hehe..." Mu Qing couldn't help laughing, "Look at what you said. I want to tell you that your brother is really gentle..."
Mu Qing, who had never experienced the love of her parents and the warmth of family since childhood, felt the warmth from her brother for the first time in her life, even though this brother was not hers.
"Of course... don't you see whose brother he is..."
"I told you you're fat, and you're panting now..." Mu Qing leaned closer, "Are all your brothers this good?"
"Yeah, otherwise, would you also recognize my second brother as your brother?" Lin Li said casually, and after he finished speaking, his head buzzed.
It seems like you can't just say jokes like this?
However... my second brother is so outstanding, it seems... Mu Qing shouldn't look down on him...
Mu Qing felt a little embarrassed, so she changed the subject: "Your house is really beautiful. When I make some more money, I can buy a storefront in the commune."
Lin Li ate something again, and Mu Qing also ate some, and praised the food at Lin Li's house for being delicious.
Then, Mu Qing frowned and said, "I think... maybe my parents will stop me from buying a house. What should I do if they make trouble every day?"
"Don't worry, you can say that I bought it when the time comes." Lin Li said.
Lin Li and Mu Qing had already eaten their fill, so Lin Li called out to Lin Hua and asked him to help clear the table.
Mu Qing quickly stood up and said, "Lili, don't bother your brother anymore. Let me clean up."
Mu Qing had already noticed that Lin Li was a lazy girl.
Lin Hua walked in and said, "I'll clean it up."
"Sister Zhao is out?" Lin Li asked Lin Hua.
Usually when Lin Li called Lin Hua to clean the table, Sister Zhao would come out to respond.
If he doesn't come out now, something must have happened.
"He went to the river to wash clothes. He said he would be back soon." Lin Hua rolled up his sleeves.
Mu Qing insisted on helping to clean up, and Lin Hua quickly said, "Sit down, sit down, I'll clean up, don't get your hands dirty. It's not much to do, and I'm free anyway, you can continue chatting with Li Li."
Lin Li was wiping her hands. She wiped all ten fingers carefully with a rag, and then said to Mu Qing, "Sister Mu, don't worry. When the time comes, just say you work for me and I'll pay you. Aren't they just unreasonable, ignorant, and stupid old people? It's okay. I have a way to deal with them."
Lin Li understood Mu Qing's situation.
Mu Qing's brothers all died in accidents, leaving her alone to support her parents.
The more ignorant and stubborn the two old men were, they would beat and scold Mu Qing every day.
Mu Qing was a good-tempered person. She always persuaded herself that she was still young and had a long way to go in the future. However, she did not know how many years the old man had left, so she endured it in a daze.
Last time, Lin Li told Mu Qing how he handled the affairs of Liu Jinduo's family. He just wanted to give Mu Qing some advice and let her learn from him, but Mu Qing couldn't bear to do it.
"You know what, this idea... is actually quite good." Mu Qing thought carefully about what Lin Li said, and it seemed... feasible.
"And what else? When the time comes," Lin Li continued to make plans, "I will pretend to be more of a capitalist. I will despise you for being lazy in front of your parents and deduct your salary. I will 'humiliate' you in public and force you to 'have nowhere to go'..."
Lin Hua, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Only my sister has a lot of clever ideas.
Mu Qing shook her head, "This idea doesn't seem to work. You overestimate their feelings for me. Even if I have nowhere to go, I can still stand up and not eat or drink to make them eat and drink."
"But I have to let them know that if you do a good job, you can earn 20 yuan a month and give them 3 yuan a month as pension. But you are starving and can't give them a penny a month. You can only keep them from starving to death. I will let my medical expert Ling Xiao check your body. You worry too much. If you don't pay attention, you may say goodbye to this world at any time..."
Before Lin Li could finish his words, Lin Hua on the side started to scold him: "Li Li, what nonsense are you talking about? How come this kid is getting more and more out of line..."
Then, Lin Hua came to apologize to Mu Qing: "I'm sorry, Miss Mu, my sister speaks too casually and doesn't know how to filter her words in her brain at all..."
Although Lin Hua was curious about how his sister could speak some simple English, you have to know that Lin Fu and Lin Rong didn't know a word of English, and Lin Li had never read a book since he was a child. But Lin Hua didn't even bother to ask where Lin Li learned it. He thought it was unlucky for his sister to say that. Cursing someone like this would definitely make Miss Mu angry...
But to Lin Hua's surprise, Mu Qing smiled and waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay. If I could really die in this world, I would feel relieved. I wouldn't think my sister cursed me. But Comrade Lin Hua, your sister's words are really cute, haha, right..."
Lin Hua also laughed. He didn't expect Mu Qing to have such a cheerful personality.
Normally, Mu Qing seldom spoke or smiled, and always had a melancholy expression on her face, so Lin Hua had the impression that this girl was serious and never smiled.
But I didn't expect that this girl could laugh, and her laugh was so bright and sunny.
Mu Qing pushed Lin Li again: "Li Li, go on, what next?"
"Then, I will ask someone to persuade your parents to open their heads and think carefully. Is it better for you to live to be a hundred years old and give them three dollars a month, or for you to die directly and let them fend for themselves from then on..."
"But they keep saying they don't want to live anymore..."
"Your parents, you don't understand them as well as I do. They said they didn't want to live anymore, and you took it seriously? If they really didn't want to live anymore, they would have died long ago. They not only want to live, but also want to live a quality life. As long as you let them get the benefits of three yuan a month, let them discover the joy of having no worries about food and clothing, and the sense of superiority of living better than other people in the village, they will be most afraid of cutting off the benefits from you. They will cherish your health more than you do yourself... If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
Then, Lin Li said in a serious tone: "Mu Qing, don't be in a daze anymore. They have never thought seriously about your reputation. They think you don't need to make friends, and you don't need to be sincere to all outsiders. They want to deprive you of all your rights and make you a robot that can support them and listen to them all your life. To put it bluntly, they only see your value, but never regard you as a human being..."
Lin Hua listened to the girl analyzing Mu Qing's family here, and he sighed on the side.
In his mind, there are no perfect parents in the world, and no matter how extreme their parents are, their children should be filial to them. But his sister always thinks differently.
But he couldn't find any fault with what the girl said.
To be fair, if his parents didn't treat their sister as a human being, he, as her brother, would probably be very angry.
But he didn't quite believe that there were such parents in the world.
The world is truly filled with wonders. He could only continue to listen quietly.
As a result, Lin Li suddenly came to talk to Lin Hua: "Second brother, let me tell you about the situation at Sister Mu Qing's home."
Then, Lin Li spoke in brief language.
Mu Qing's brothers all died in accidents. Now, Mu Qing has to take care of all the family affairs by herself. Since she started working on her own, her parents have given up all work on the grounds of old age and are waiting for her to take care of them in their old age.
That would have been fine, but her mother also secretly controlled her marriage every day, thinking that she wanted her to live a happy life sooner, and would secretly arrange a marriage for her with a matchmaker.
She doesn't care at all what kind of person the man is. As long as he is willing to pay a bride price and the bride price will be given to her parents, her mother will secretly accept the bride price and force her to marry him.
It doesn't matter if he is poor, vicious, or an idle, lazy, and greedy old bachelor, as long as he pays the bride price. Of course, for these very bad people, Mu Qing's mother naturally asked for more bride price.
Her whole family and all her relatives told her: No matter how many bad habits a man has before marriage, as long as he gets married, everything will be fine, as long as he has children... The husband and wife must complement each other, and as a woman, you must be patient, and you will have a good life when you get old, blah blah.
Lin Hua frowned as he heard this.
