Chapter 406 Only when you become strong can you not be influenced by others
Xingxing asked curiously, "Lin Wanxia, how do you know?"
"Because just now at the police station, I saw the things that the police searched from the thief, and there was no handkerchief from your grandmother."
The old ladies in the village usually wrap their money with layers of handkerchiefs.
Jiang's mother is no exception.
Nowadays, the handkerchiefs used by middle-aged and elderly people are mostly pure white cotton handkerchiefs with two thick and thin blue edges.
In order to make it easier to recognize, Jiang's mother would embroider a character from her name on the handkerchief.
They did not see it just now at the police station.
Lin Wanxia subconsciously looked at Jiang's mother.
Jiang's mother usually put her handkerchief in her trouser pocket.
Her top is relatively long, covering below her buttocks, so it is impossible to tell whether the pocket is cut.
However, she was somewhat skeptical.
Ordinary people wear cotton-padded clothes to keep warm.
It is really difficult to cut through the coat and then cut the trouser pocket with such a thin blade.
But it is a fact that there are thieves in the market.
Lin Wanxia didn't think much about it, and touched Xiaoliu's head, "Xiaoliu, why are you crying?"
Xiaoliu cried even more sadly and couldn't even speak.
"It's almost the New Year, what are you crying about? You've lost all your fortune because of crying!" Jiang's mother rolled her eyes at Xiaoliu, "What can I do if my money is stolen?"
Lin Wanxia frowned and looked at Jiang Sinian without saying anything.
Jiang Sinian understood what Lin Wanxia meant, patted Xiaoqi on the shoulder and asked him, "What happened?"
Xiaoqi has always been in awe of Jiang Sinian, and answered honestly, "My mother's money was stolen before I could buy clothes for my sixth sister . "
Lin Wanxia's eyes fell on the things they had just bought, which were piled up beside them.
There were food, drinks, bowls, plates, chopsticks, and clothes for Jiang's father, Jiang's mother, and Xiaoqi. But there was nothing for Xiaoliu. Lin Wanxia looked at Jiang's mother meaningfully: "This thief is quite good at stealing!" When everyone's things were bought except for Xiaoliu's clothes, Jiang's mother was robbed. She didn't quite believe this coincidence. But it wasn't very important. Lin Wanxia touched Xiaoliu's head, "Don't cry! I'll buy you new clothes later." Xiaoliu shook his head, "No need, Fifth Sister-in-law, you and Fifth Brother bought me clothes when you just came back." "That was a meeting gift. New clothes for the New Year are different. Besides, the clothes I gave you are not suitable for such a cold day. Everyone wears new clothes during the New Year, so it shouldn't be that our Xiaoliu doesn't have any." Lin Wanxia took Xiaoliu up, "Since Fourth Sister-in-law and her family haven't arrived yet, I'll take Xiaoliu out for a walk." Jiang Sinian stood up to follow. Lin Wanxia stopped him, "Just look after the two children! It's no fun for you to follow us while we buy clothes." In fact, she was just afraid that Jiang's mother would make trouble again. There is no separate area for children's clothes, and basically every stall sells them. At the market, people sell clothes on the stalls. They have two fixed poles with several ropes pulled between them, and then the clothes are densely hung on the ropes. The amazing thing is that the clothes in every stall are almost the same. Xiaoliu obviously had some clothes she liked just now, and she led Lin Wanxia directly to a stall. Lin Wanxia not only bought the clothes that Xiaoliu liked, but also picked out another set that she thought was pretty to give to Xiaoliu. Xiaoliu waved her hands repeatedly, "Fifth sister-in-law, one set is enough! That set is very expensive!" This was the set she liked at first, and she chose this set after Jiang's mother asked about the price and told Xiaoliu not to even think about it. Lin Wanxia certainly didn't care about the girl's hypocritical refusal. It wasn't hypocritical, the refusal was real, and the desire was also real. Afterwards, Lin Wanxia bought Xiaoliu two sets of beautiful hair ornaments and two pairs of shoes, using the excuse that she had to match her beautiful clothes. Xiaoliu's eyes were red all the way, "Fifth sister-in-law, you are so nice!" Lin Wanxia touched Xiaoliu's head, "It's not that I'm nice, it's that I have a lot of money. In fact, my life before was not as good as yours." No matter how partial Jiang's father and mother were, they were not as mean to Xiaoliu as Zhu Qiaoyun was to her. No matter whether the food, clothing, housing and transportation were good or not, they were all there. "I bought you these clothes today not to help you win favor, but to tell you that only when you are strong can you not be controlled by others. For rural children like us, the only chance to change our fate is to study. I will help you solve the problem of admission. But you will definitely face some obstacles, and I hope you can persevere at that time." Xiaoliu nodded firmly. *** When Lin Wanxia and Xiaoliu returned to the gathering point, the fourth brother and his wife and their family also returned. There were five people in the family, and in addition to five sets of clothes, each child had some food in his hands. Jiang's mother was scolding the fourth sister-in-law. The general idea was that the fourth sister-in-law was squandering the family and couldn't live a good life. The fourth sister-in-law lowered her head and dared not refute, and from time to time she would raise her hand to wipe away tears. The three old men were on the side, their faces were not very good, but no one spoke. Especially Jiang Sinian. Although he looked expressionless, but after being married for so long, Lin Wanxia knew at a glance that Jiang Sinian was unhappy, still very unhappy. The fourth sister-in-law heard the scolding that stopped abruptly, raised her head in surprise, and saw Jiang's mother looking behind her, so she turned her head. It happened that she saw Lin Wanxia and Xiaoliu coming back with big and small bags. The fourth sister-in-law pursed her lips, and a complex expression flashed in her eyes. No wonder she stopped scolding halfway. Her squandering is not even on the same level as the fifth brother's wife. Sure enough, Jiang's mother couldn't help but scold Lin Wanxia again: "My son worked hard to earn some money, but you squandered it all!"
Lin Wanxia raised her eyebrows, "You guys spent all the money your son worked so hard to earn! Every penny I spent was earned by myself!"
It was not the first time that Jiang's mother heard this. She had also inquired about it and knew that what Lin Wanxia said was true.
Unable to provoke Lin Wanxia, she turned around and scolded Jiang Sinian, "Look at the good wife you married! You don't care about her?"
"I don't think she said anything wrong." Jiang Sinian spoke in a calm voice, with a hint of anger in his voice.
The fourth sister-in-law rubbed her red and swollen eyes, and for the first time, she had some other thoughts in her mind.
For things like buying clothes, she would be scolded once a year.
Jiang's mother couldn't tolerate that she had money in her hands.
But the fourth sister-in-law insisted that it was a subsidy from her parents' home and would not give it to Jiang's mother.
So every time they go to the New Year's Fair, Jiang's mother always scolds and doesn't give a penny to the fourth sister-in-law and the fourth brother.
She's used to it.
But today she suddenly found that although they both spend their own money, the mother-in-law can't do anything to her younger brother and sister-in-law.
Because Lin Wanxia made it very clear that she spends her own money.
It is not dependent on Jiang Sinian's money.
So even Jiang's mother, who is rude and unreasonable, can't scold Lin Wanxia.
In addition, the more Lin Wanxia is not used to her mother-in-law, the less temper she seems to have.
So, is it true that good people are bullied? Or is it that whoever has money in his hands can stand up straight?
Or is it both? !
At this moment, Lin Wanxia didn't know that just such a small episode had affected the lives of two people.
