Chapter 220: Don’t expose your family’s shame to others
The second uncle, Lin Yesheng, lives in the old house of the Lin family.
It is the house where Lin Wanxia’s grandparents used to live.
The house is very small, with only two small mud houses, short and broken.
In addition, the old bachelor doesn’t like to clean up, so the house is dirty everywhere, and there is a pungent smell.
Lin Youzhi frowned and said disdainfully: "I won’t go. You and Yaoyao can go."
Lin Gensheng hurriedly said: "Then we won’t go either. Wherever you go, we will follow you."
"How can I take you with me to my father-in-law’s house?"
Lin Gensheng: "..."
Not to mention that the daughter-in-law has not been married yet, even if the daughter-in-law is married, she will not live in the in-laws’ house.
What’s more, Lin Youzhi’s father-in-law and mother-in-law are not easy to deal with. He felt numb when he thought of their disdainful eyes.
After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand to Lin Youzhi, "Then give me some money, I will take Yaoyao to stay in a hotel."
"No money." Lin Youzhi said and turned to leave.
"How can you have no money?" Lin Gensheng stopped his son unwillingly, "Don't think I don't know that you used Yaoyao to make a deal with the Jin family. The Jin family gave you a lot of money for Yaoyao's divorce! And Yaoyao's child was also taken away by you..."
Lin Youzhi's cold eyes made Lin Gensheng unable to continue.
Lin Youzhi asked coldly: "Do you want me to get you a loudspeaker to shout loudly?"
Lin Gensheng shook his head repeatedly, and didn't care about his second brother's dirty house, and ran away.
Lin Youzhi looked at Lin Yaoyao with a cold gaze again, "Why don't you follow your father?"
Lin Yaoyao shivered, looked around, turned around and ran towards Lin Gensheng.
Even if a person is crazy, he is still a higher animal, with the animal instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
***
Ever since the fourth uncle's family returned to the village, Lin Wanxia has always kept Xingxing by her side and even stopped him from going to kindergarten .
Lin Youzhi is not as brainless as Zhu Qiaoyun. In fact, Lin Youzhi is worse than that reporter.
After all, the reporter was a public employee before, so he still has a basic bottom line. And Lin Youzhi is a man who will do anything to achieve his goal.
At least she doesn't believe that Lin Youzhi will agree to Lin Yaoyao's divorce from the Jin family to make the Jin family happy, and take over his sister's mess without complaint.
It's not like him.
When Lin Wanxia really didn't have time to take care of Xingxing, she sent him to the compound in Daocheng.
For Lin Wanxia, there is no place safer than the compound.
However, after half a month, Lin Youzhi did not come to see her again, nor did he come to her house.
But he really worked hard to build the house.
Ordinary people choose the beginning of spring when they build a house.
At that time, the flowers bloom, the ice melts, and it is convenient to mix mud. After the summer, the house will become lighter.
Lin Gensheng certainly has experience in this area. He said that building a house is just some preparatory work. The
village allocated residential land, but they just marked out a piece of vacant land for them according to the standards.
There is no shortage of land in the fishing village, but most of it is saline and alkaline land.
Especially the place where Lin Gensheng and his team just got is on the edge of the village, and it is uneven.
If you want to build a house, you have to weed first, move away the garbage, and then get soil to fill the pits.
Then spread the soil layer by layer and tamp it manually.
Until the ground is level with the neighbors' houses.
Generally, it can only be level with the neighbor's house and not higher than it, otherwise the neighbors will be unhappy and will come to make trouble.
Fourth uncle's family doesn't even have a house, and they have lived in the island city for a long time, so there are no tools at home.
When it comes to transporting soil, they point to the small cart of second uncle's house.
Second uncle is an honest man, and he was ordered by Lin Youzhi to go to the river to push red soil before dawn.
On the contrary, Lin Gensheng didn't work much.
Lin Wanxia couldn't stand it, so she called second uncle to her home.
"Second uncle (bdi), don't be so easy to talk to. You see, it's my fourth uncle who wants to build a house, and you are the one doing the work."
Second uncle sat awkwardly in front of the tea table, not daring to touch even the teacup, for fear of dirtying it, and looked around the house curiously.
Hearing what Lin Wanxia said, he smiled naively, "We are all family, why do we have to divide the land so clearly? There is nothing to do now, no need to farm or go out to sea. I am free to help them.
I have no ability and can't help any of you normally."
Hearing the apology from the second uncle, Lin Wanxia shook her head, "It's all in the past. I am living a good life now. Besides... you have done your best."
In the original owner's memory, the second uncle tried to be good to Lin Wanxia.
He was a bachelor, and the land he was allocated was taken away by Lin Gensheng with an excuse. He
just went out to sea as a boatman, and used the money he earned to buy clothes and food for Lin Wanxia, and also gave her living expenses.
But it was useless.
The money was embezzled by Zhu Qiaoyun, the clothes were snatched away by Lin Yaoyao, and the food never reached Lin Wanxia's mouth.
Moreover, Lin Yaoyao would scold Second Uncle for being partial, and she wanted a share of what Lin Wanxia had.
Not long after, Second Uncle injured his leg while going out to sea, and no one hired him for work because of his age. He often had no food to eat, and he was too busy to take care of Lin Wanxia.
When he helped Lin Wanxia, she was still young, and they didn't keep in touch for a long time afterwards, so Lin Wanxia was not close to him.
It was because of Lin Youzhi that Lin Wanxia recalled this memory. Knowing that she had received his kindness, she wanted to help him.
"Second Uncle (bdi), since helping anyone is the same, do you want to come over and help me?"
"Hmm? What do you need me to do?" Second Uncle nodded, happy to accept it.
"I have opened two new ponds to raise seafood. I was thinking of asking you to help look after them."
"Ah?" Second uncle scratched his head, "I don't know how to raise them."
"Don't worry, someone will teach you." Lin Wanxia said, "I won't let you work for nothing, I'll pay you."
"It's not a question of whether to pay you or not." Second uncle shook his head, "I'm afraid I may not be able to raise the fish well and end up doing more harm than good. Besides..."
Second uncle hesitated and finally told the truth, "I thought you were asking me to do a small favor, the kind that can be done in a day or half an year.
The fourth child lives with me now, and we are building a house. I left them here to work for you, but I am afraid they will not be happy."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Lin Wanxia would be unhappy, he added, "The villagers will gossip."
Everyone in the village knows that they work for Lin Wanxia, and Lin Wanxia pays them generously.
Even if he doesn't want to be paid, others will not believe it.
Then they will definitely gossip.
"Just say it!" Lin Wanxia said indifferently, "It's better than suffering in silence."
The second uncle was a feudal man, shaking his head and sighing: "Don't air your shame in public. People will bully us if they know we are not united."
"Second uncle, this is the new China, and the old family system is not popular. Now it is a society ruled by law. Listen to me, okay? "
He would be a free slave to Lin Youzhi, and he would not appreciate Second Uncle's kindness.
Second Uncle smiled bitterly: "Xia Xia, you know I am a bachelor without children. I have to rely on Youzhi to take care of me when I am old."
He did not want to offend Lin Youzhi.
Old people are feudal, Second Uncle is an uneducated man with very conservative ideas.
In the few memories of Second Uncle that the original owner had, he had always been very good to Lin Youzhi, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he treated Lin Youzhi as his own son.
Unfortunately, Lin Youzhi never took Second Uncle seriously.
And Second Uncle wanted Lin Youzhi to wear mourning clothes for him after he died.
