Chapter 147 Ancient Farmer (5) (1/2)

Li Lanlan's eyes were still a little swollen. She just subconsciously took the money and was stunned after hearing what her husband said clearly.

From her father?

Her first reaction was that it was impossible. Li Lanlan knew better than anyone who Li's father was. Growing up, this man only took money from home. When had he ever given her a penny, even if he got married, she would Didn't hold a penny.

Seeing Li Lanlan's expression, Lin Shiheng smiled slightly and said warmly: "My father-in-law saw that our family was poor and my father was in poor health, so he kept trying to give me the money, saying that he would let us live a good life."

If he said that Li's father felt sorry for his daughter and gave him money, Li Lanlan would definitely not believe it. But if he said that Li's father saw that the elders of the Lin family were poor and in poor health, she would believe it 80% of the time.

Li's father's problem has always caused countless losses to the family, both covertly and overtly. When Li Lanlan was given away all the food in the house by her own father, she was so hungry that she couldn't get him to leave any food for her because of her stomachache. Thinking of getting married, it was rare to feel his sympathy.

After thinking about Li's father's temper for a while, Li Lanlan was completely convinced when she took the money. She handed the money to Lin Shiheng again. Because she had cried before, her voice was still slightly hoarse, "Master, please keep it."

"This is the money given by my father-in-law. How can I keep it? You can take it."

The scholar smiled and did not accept the money.

Li Lanlan respected him, and since he said so, he would no longer push the money over.

This amount of money is not much, after all, Li's father is busy doing good things every day, and there is no way he can save money, but Li Lanlan is already satisfied.

Which child doesn't want his parents to treat him well? Even if Li's father did this because of his overflowing compassion, Li Lanlan would still want to burn incense and pray to God to thank God.

She didn't ask her biological father to treat her as well as he treated others. She just asked him to take into account the poor situation of the Lin family and stop having any weird ideas of "letting his son-in-law lend him money to do good things."

Thinking about it, Li Lanlan straightened her hair: "Is my father still outside?"

"No more. Just now I said I wanted to stay for food, but my father-in-law said he wouldn't stay to eat, so he left quickly."

Li Lanlan didn't think it was strange. Her father was like this. Even if he helped others with big things outside, he would very consciously not bother them. Even if he had just given the other party most of his own food, his stomach was growling with hunger. , that means they don’t want to eat at the other party’s house and have to go home hungry to eat.

As someone who is being cared for, he is definitely grateful, but as his family, it is a disaster.

Because of Li's father's character, Li Lanlan has been firm in her thoughts and cognition since she was a child. She believes that people should come and go. You are good to me, and I will be good to you. Even if you do good deeds, you must do it according to your ability. Those like her He was like his biological father, who had no connection with him and didn't even ask him for help. He was so stubborn that he didn't give up his family fortune to help without his own wife and daughter. He was called stupid.

Knowing that Li's father was gone, the heavy stone that was weighing on Li Lanlan's heart seemed to have been lifted. She breathed a sigh of relief. After putting the money away, she rubbed her eyes again and continued to work outside.

While she was putting her worries aside and working, the second bedroom in the big room over there was waiting eagerly in front of her door.

They came out when they heard someone knocking on the door, and when they saw Li Lanlan driving away their father, they were worried that the world would not be in chaos, so no one stepped forward to stop them.

Before the family was separated, the third brother was very face-conscious. If he saw his wife beating his father-in-law, he would get very angry.

The two of them thought beautifully, but unfortunately Lin Shiheng came out. There was no anger at all on his white jade face, and he could even be said to have invited Father Li into the house calmly.

The second daughter-in-law wanted to eavesdrop on what the couple said, but was afraid of being discovered, so she could only stand with her neck stretched out to watch.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think Li Lanlan's father is here for?"

"Li Lanlan is so angry. Maybe I really got it right and borrowed the money."

"Is he really so shameless?"

The eldest daughter-in-law affirmed: "I have told you a long time ago that this is what he is like. Everyone in the village knows that, even my mother, she doesn't dislike anything dirty and smelly. Such an in-law would dare to get married."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little proud. The conditions of her parents' family were actually not very good, but her father was not a fool like Father Li. Even if he didn't provide her with subsidies these years, he still wanted her to provide subsidies. At least it didn't cause any trouble. She has no face in her husband's family.

The second daughter-in-law thought the same thing as her. In fact, neither of them received much attention from her parents' family. After all, she was a woman, so she was definitely not as favored as the men in the family. She didn't bring anything with her when she got married, just a new suit given by the Lin family. Even the bride's family took away a penny from the bride price and didn't give it to them.

But they don’t think it’s anything. Isn’t this the case in the village? The kind of person who loves his daughter and buys her a dowry is an anomaly. Therefore, although they can't talk to their parents' family, they both have a red heart for their parents' family. During the holidays, or when their hands are loose, they will I always want to take something back.

For this reason, Mother Lin told them several times that she disliked them for only thinking about their parents' family and taking things from her husband's family to supplement their income.

Well now, here comes a third sibling, with a father like that, see how my mother-in-law still favors the third sibling.

The more they thought about it, the more excited they became. It was obviously the time to cook, but no one moved. They opened their eyes and looked toward the third room eagerly, for fear of missing anything.

After a while, the curtain over there opened, Lin Shiheng came out, and politely sent Father Li out the door.

Both of them were confused for a moment.

Is this borrowing money or not borrowing money? Why is the third brother still smiling?

They were scratching their heads and wanted to know what happened, but they couldn't ask their brother-in-law, so they could only watch Lin Shiheng finish seeing him off and turn around and go back to the house.

"Sister-in-law, do you think this third brother lent money to the Li family?"

The eldest daughter-in-law still wants to know.

After a while, Li Lanlan came out. Although she wiped her eyes and patted them, she was fair-skinned and her eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious at a glance that Mrs. Li, who was unclear about the situation, immediately calmed down.

"I must have borrowed it. You can see that the three younger siblings are crying."

The second daughter-in-law also went to see Li Lanlan. When she saw that she looked prettier than herself even with swollen eyes because of her fair skin, she was jealous and gloating: "My parents love my third brother so much that I have chosen such a wife for my third brother."

"When mother comes back and finds out about this, we might as well make a fuss."

When the two said this, they looked at each other and could clearly see the excitement in each other's eyes.

At first, they just brought some things home, but their mother-in-law complained about them for a long time. Now, the third brother and sister's biological father came to borrow money the day after she got married, and her mother-in-law may not be able to tolerate her.

If the third bedroom is unlucky and the mother-in-law is angry, they will be happy.

Overjoyed, the second wife suddenly smiled.

"I forgot to cook!"

The eldest daughter-in-law’s smile also froze: “Me too.”

Both of them were lazy, and it was tiring to work in the fields, so they didn't go to the fields, and asked their husbands, sons and daughters-in-law to go. They only tidied up at home and cooked.

As a result, I was so busy watching the fun today that I forgot to cook.

They rushed around, but unfortunately they were delayed for too long and still couldn't catch up.

When Mother Lin came back, she saw the second room of the big house busy cooking in a mess. After being tired in the fields all day, Lin Lao Er, who just wanted to eat a hot meal quickly, didn't look very good-looking, and didn't care about his juniors. Now, I scolded my mother-in-law for not working at home.

Since the separation, she has become cold-hearted towards these two houses. She looked at them coldly and stopped paying attention to them.

Here, Li Lanlan had cooked the meal early and was busy putting it on the table. Because there was a patient at home and a scholar who wasted his energy, Mother Lin never bought the eggs she raised from the chickens, so she saved them for cooking. Eat soup.

Li Lanlan had suffered too much and had long been accustomed to being diligent. After neatly bringing all the dishes out of the kitchen and cleaning them up, she took two bowls of porridge and vegetables and said meekly: "Mom, do you want me to feed daddy?" "

Mother Lin didn't have to do anything when she got home, she just waited for dinner. The house was tidy everywhere. It was completely different from before. She had been working in the fields all day and had to come back to cook and clean up the house. Compare again. The two rooms next door looked busy, and I felt extremely satisfied.

In the past, she might have been satisfied, but she wouldn't be as satisfied as she is now. After all, all new wives in the village, unless they were too weird, would be like Li Lanlan.

But after experiencing two troubled daughters-in-law, and a house with no one to clean because the husband was sick in bed and the son was busy studying, now when I come home, I see hot meals and clean things. In the courtyard, Mother Lin's favorable impression of the third daughter-in-law has almost risen to 150%.

This is what a daughter-in-law is like. Look at those two guys next door. They can't even cook well.

Hello daughter-in-law, and the mother-in-law doesn't mind reciprocating the favor. Mother Lin stood up with a smile and said, "No, your dad and I always eat together in the house. I just feed him, and you and Shi Heng are here." Eat out.”

"Eh."

Li Lanlan responded quickly, and without Mother Lin's need to say anything, she picked up more vegetables and put them into the bowl.

The more Mother Lin looked at her, the more satisfied she became. She was worried that they would eat too much and her son and daughter-in-law would not be full, so she stopped her and started to carry the plates into the house, but Li Lanlan had already picked them up and carried them into the house.

She was used to it. Father Li was always away from home before, so she had to do everything by herself. It was not like the daughter-in-law of other people's families, where her elders gave orders every move.

In Mother Lin's eyes, the third daughter-in-law is called filial piety.

She immediately became more satisfied. She once again glanced coldly at the second room of the big house opposite her which was secretly looking towards her, then turned around and entered the house.

Lin Shiheng had been sitting in his seat, chewing his food slowly.

As the only scholar in the family, he has never worked since he was a child. It would be strange if he did.

When Li Lanlan came out, he put vegetables into her bowl very naturally and said softly: "Eat more."

Li Lanlan's face turned a little red when her husband cared about her. She responded in a low voice with some embarrassment and buried her head in eating.

She had just gotten married and was still a little embarrassed. She didn't dare to pick up food even if her mother-in-law wasn't at the table. Lin Shiheng ate slowly by himself while picking up food for her from time to time.

The young couple ate one by one, and they both looked good, which was very pleasing to the eye.

However, the people in the big and second rooms were not looking at them. The attention of the people in the second and third rooms who had nothing to eat was attracted by the food on the table.

Li Lanlan's cooking skills are not good, but they are not bad. Lin Shiheng's instructions also indicate that the Tao family needs to replenish their food, so they are willing to put in oil and salt. This dish was fine when it was placed in the kitchen, but when it arrived in the yard Inside, the fragrance of vegetables drifted all the way to the two rooms along the wind.

When we separated before, because none of the three brothers had money to build a new house, they still lived together. However, there was a quarrel at that time. In order to show that the three brothers were not the same, they still picked up soil and built a short One layer of wall.

It was very short, and one could easily cross it with just one step. Therefore, even if Lin Shiheng and his young wife were sitting down to eat, the two hungry brothers could still clearly see what was on their table.

Rice porridge that is not watery at all, Huang Cencen’s eggs...

——Gudong!

Everyone in the two houses who looked over more or less swallowed their saliva.

The eldest son's four-year-old grandson stood on the steps, looking eagerly in that direction, and shouted to his mother: "Mom, I want to eat eggs too."

“Eat whatever you want!!”

The eldest daughter-in-law was very busy, anxious and anxious. When she heard the embarrassing words of her little grandson, she yelled back: "You are a shallow-sighted thing, is that something you can eat? Do you think everyone is like me?" So rich!"

Her original intention was to imply that Mother Lin had hidden the money for her beloved third son but had not distributed it, but as soon as she said this, the tired and hungry Boss Lin became angry.

"What are you shouting for!!! You think I have no future, don't you? I worked outside all day and didn't even make a meal. Who can be as lazy and lazy as you? Don't stay at home tomorrow, let me." My wife is cooking, and you go to the fields with me!"

The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family who wanted to accuse Sang and Huai ended up getting angry: "..."

The second daughter-in-law next to her, who was pretending to be sister-in-law, just showed her gloating eyes when she heard the stinking husband beside her say: "What are you looking at! So are you! Let's go to the fields together tomorrow!"

Second wife: "..."

Lin Shiheng turned a deaf ear to the farce next door. The people in the three-bedroom apartment were not like those in the other two bedrooms. In addition, there were only four people in Li Lanlan. The food that could feed their whole family could be supplied to any room next door, that is, Get a foothold.

Therefore, Mother Lin could safely take out the eggs to replenish the health of her family members. If the second bedroom and the second bedroom did the same, they would be impoverished.

After finishing the meal, Li Lanlan ran to wash the dishes diligently, and then went to wash the clothes after washing the dishes.

The neighbor next door finally had a meal, but the second daughter-in-law of the eldest son still couldn't help but look over there.

When he saw Li Lanlan actually heating water to wash clothes, he suddenly looked like he was watching the fun.

We need firewood to heat hot water. We can obviously use cold water for washing, but we insist on using cold water. This third daughter-in-law is still a prodigal. Just wait and see how her mother-in-law scolds her.

Mother Lin came out and was stunned when she saw her third daughter-in-law washing clothes with hot water, "Why use hot water?"

Lin Shiheng, who was sitting under the tree and reading a book, said in an understatement: "I told you, cold water can't wash it clean. I | I have to go to town often in the future, so I can't wear unclean clothes. I will wash them with hot water from now on."

After saying that, he turned to Mother Lin and smiled: "Mom, now that Lan Lan has come in, you can also enjoy the happiness. Let her wash all the clothes in the future. When my son becomes successful, we can hire someone to do it for us." do the laundry."

The second daughter-in-law of the eldest daughter-in-law who listened to the noise here with her ears straightened up: Just listen to him, there is still hope.

Moreover, when a daughter-in-law enters the house, she should wash her clothes. If she doesn't wash them, she is unfilial and not diligent. Even during the confinement period, she can only wash them by herself, because the clothes during confinement are dirty. If her mother-in-law washes them, she will definitely be laughed at by the whole village. Why? When my third brother said this, the feeling was completely different from before.

They felt something was wrong, but Mother Lin was happy. She felt that her son was indeed filial to her. As soon as the new daughter-in-law came in, she couldn't wait to help her share the burden, so she happily accepted the hot water to wash the clothes, "Hey, okay, Lan Lan, hot." Is there enough water? Can Mommy help you boil some more?”

The second daughter-in-law of a big house who has been using cold water to wash clothes since she was a teenager and now uses hot water to wash her clothes during confinement and is still criticized by her husband for wasting firewood: "..."

They originally wanted to watch each other's excitement, but instead of seeing the excitement, they became so angry that they even lost their original treatment of "not having to go to the ground to cook at home."

But fortunately, my mother-in-law will definitely be angry when she finds out that Li Lanlan's father has come to borrow money.

With this hope in their hearts, they always paid attention to the third room. As a result, until night, the third room was calm and there was no movement at all.

It shouldn't be.

That night, the two of them were like pancakes, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep.

They always thought that Li Lanlan would come back the next day.

She was worried when she got married, but now that she is returning home, if her mother-in-law makes a big fuss, wouldn't it become a joke to the whole village?

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. As a result, when I wanted to sleep, I couldn't fall asleep.

When the two of them got up in a daze the next day with two big dark circles under their eyes, they saw Mrs. Lin next door taking a basket and handing it to Li Lanlan with a kind smile: "Lan Lan, it's you who come home today. You can take these things." Take it back to your father-in-law and tell him that our family is doing well and that he should not worry about it. There is no reason for his daughter to come to the son-in-law's house to give money. "

Having said that, Mother Lin felt very happy.

Look, what a wonderful daughter-in-law, not only hardworking herself, but also supported by her legendary unreliable father.

Although she is not a person who likes to take advantage of others, having an in-law who heard that her son-in-law's family is having a hard time and proactively comes to give money is better than those in-laws who are obsessed with sucking the blood of her daughter's in-laws.

Compared with the two girls next door, this is simply a unique and good wife!

The two people who came back next door only picked up a few things, not even eggs: "..."

Why! !
