Aunt Liu felt that Lin had taken advantage of her because she went back early, so she found an excuse to come back early as well.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lin sitting under the eaves. He threw the farm tools in his hands heavily into the corner and shouted at Lin: "We've been busy all day and exhausted. We thought that your sister-in-law would come back and cook us a hot meal, but you are just lazing around here?"
Lin quickly stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, that's not the case. I just felt dizzy after making some medicine for Yan'er, so I sat down for a while. I'll go cook right away."
"Dizzy? I'm still nauseous. You guys are the ones who have the most trouble all day long!"
Lin lowered her head and listened to her eldest sister-in-law's scolding silently. She knew that her sister-in-law was complaining that Yan'er had spent a lot of money on medical treatment in the past two days.
At this time, other people also came back with food. Hearing his sister-in-law scolding his wife, Li Erlang hurried forward and said to his wife: "I see that you don't look well. You go back to your room and rest first. I will do the rest of the things!" Lin held her husband's hand and refused.
The eldest aunt watched the couple arguing in front of her, and she was even more angry and sneered, "Second brother's wife is so lucky to have met a brother who loves his wife like this! I dare not trouble you, your hands are precious. You want to pass the imperial examination in the future. How dare I order you around?"
Li Erlang's heart tightened when he heard his sister-in-law say this. Yes, he had failed the scholar exam again this time. This was the third time he had failed. He was so proud and high-spirited when he was young, but now he felt so depressed and lonely!
The elder sister-in-law's words were undoubtedly a stab in Li Erlang's heart. When Li Dalang heard his wife's ridicule of his brother, he immediately scolded her, "I think you are idle? You are always talking nonsense all day long. Can you please shut up!"
When the aunt heard that her husband did not defend her, she immediately burst into tears and complained: "This is so unfair, everyone, please give us some justice. The whole family is busy and exhausted, and when I come home, I don't even have a sip of hot water to drink, and you still accuse me of gossiping.
Li Dalang, who am I doing this for? I'm doing this for this family.
"Min'er, you didn't send him to the blacksmith shop to learn a trade, but instead sent him to work as a waiter in a restaurant. The last time Min'er came back, I saw that he had lost a lot of weight. I don't know if he will be bullied outside. As a mother, I can only wipe away my tears and let him go."
At this time, Old Lady Wu spoke up, "Well, Dalang's wife, do you think you can go to the restaurant that Min'er went to whenever you want? Go ask around, they provide food and lodging, and they pay you two hundred coins a month! If it weren't for Erlang, do you think you could have gotten this good deal?"
If you don't want Min'er to go, then let Min'er come back!
But I don't agree with this blacksmith shop. That blacksmith Zhao is the best at tormenting people. Don't listen to Li Erzhu's wife's instigation and come back to make trouble, making people laugh at you for nothing! Besides, I was the one who asked your sister-in-law to come back first. As your aunt, don't you know how dangerous Erya was last night?
Turning around, he said to Li Erlang, "Don't argue with your sister-in-law. She's just confused. Your sister-in-law and I will go cook. You guys bring the grain back from outside!"
After hearing the scolding from her mother-in-law, the aunt pursed her lips and finally said nothing. She turned around and went to the kitchen.
Li Dalang patted his brother's shoulder and said, "Don't bother with your sister-in-law. She has long hair and little knowledge. I will talk to her later. You know your sister-in-law well. She always likes to listen to people's gossips. She is also a good-for-nothing!
Don't take it personally, I know you'll be able to get into high school, and then our whole village will benefit from you!"
