Chapter 153 Ancient Peasants (10) (1/2)
Father Li came over, of course, not because he was well-informed, but because he was worried that his daughter and son-in-law were not doing well. Yesterday, he went to the county to help Widow Zhang, and when he came back, he happened to help an old man who had fallen. When he returned to his home, in order to express his gratitude, the old man's Orion son gave him a rabbit.
The rabbit is very fat and looks delicious. Father Li has not touched meat for an unknown period of time. Now he does not have a daughter like Li Lanlan to cook for him at home. When he cooks for himself, he is always half-cooked. When he sees this rabbit, he is Swallowing hard.
But he didn't eat. He is a holy father. Even if he is extremely hungry, he still has to contribute to the fat rabbit in his hand.
At first, Father Li wanted to contribute to Widow Zhang. After all, they were close, and Widow Zhang always complained to him about her poverty. However, when it was time to eat, Widow Zhang was thinking that Father Li, a grown man, must have a lot to eat, so she did not leave any food for him. , everyone had already come out. Although he was injured and carrying the rabbit, he was too embarrassed to go there during the meal.
After thinking about it, he thought of his poor daughter. 3583127880"22810234542610236215386463864621543
Lan Lan is a good girl, but it's a pity that her life is bad. Now the Lin family needs her to do everything, they don't have enough to eat, there are still patients at home to take care of, and their son-in-law doesn't know how to work.
Thinking of Lan Lan's grievances when she cried to him last time, and how she felt sorry for her parents-in-law who had to endure hardships at such an old age, Li's father felt soft-hearted.
So he didn't hesitate and took the rabbit back. Because it was getting late, he waited until early the next morning to come.
As soon as she arrived at the door of her son-in-law's house, her daughter came up to her. She called him daddy sweetly, and then looked at him with admiring eyes, "Why are you here at this time? Have you eaten?"
Father Li felt even warmer in his heart. He smiled naively and handed over the rabbit in his hand: "I'll give it to you as a thank you gift."
Li Lanlan really didn't notice this rabbit before. When she saw the rabbit being brought over by her father with its ears carried, her expression was startled, and there was some complexity in her red eyes.
In the past, no matter how she told the truth, Li's father would only move out and never take it home. But now, without her saying anything, he would just bring the rabbit over if he got it.
Her heart was sour, uncomfortable, and wronged. Her eyes that were originally red were really red now. She turned her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "This is a thank you gift I gave you. Take it." You can eat it yourself, why should you give it to me?”
Father Li was so hungry that he had a stomach ache, but he still replied with a smile: "It's okay, Dad still has a harvest. You guys are not having a good life, so I'll hold you close for now."
His idea of putting others before herself, which Li Lanlan hated so much, was now like a soft sand, invading her heart bit by bit. It wasn't painful or itchy, but it made her very uncomfortable.
She wiped her eyes again and took the rabbit: "You can eat it with us today."
"Is it appropriate?" Father Li rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "You are already married."
"It's okay. My mother-in-law is a nice person, and my husband-in-law treats me well."
Li Lanlan originally wanted to fake crying to fool her own father, but when she was fooled by his unprepared behavior and eager to deliver good things, the fortress she had built in her heart collapsed completely.
After leading someone into the house, while she was busy with her work, she took the initiative and mentioned it casually: "Dad, my husband is going to take the exam soon. He was afraid that there was no man in the family and no one would care about him. Yesterday, he went to the county to work for someone, and he changed two gold jewelry.”
Only then did Father Li notice that his daughter was wearing a pair of gold earrings. He was immediately stunned, "Why would you buy gold jewelry if you're afraid that people will miss you?"
Doesn't this clearly tell people to come and steal it if they have money?
"My husband said that we must first put this good thing in the public eye, so that people will know that he is capable and will not dare to offend us. Also, he also has some dealings with an official in the government. How much? It can make people taboo.”
Father Li didn't understand these things, but he was a straight-minded person who took whatever others said. He nodded: "That's good. I have nothing to do. I will come to your husband's house more often when I have nothing to do. When others see me as a man, they will also Don’t dare to cause trouble.”
Li Lanlan paused while boiling water.
Before she mentioned it, Father Li brought it up first.
Here, Father Li automatically completed the settings in his mind and asked worriedly: "My son-in-law spent all the family money on gold jewelry. What will happen to your father-in-law's money for medicine in the future?"
Li Lanlan:? ? ?
When did she say that her husband spent all the money at home to buy gold jewelry?
No matter what, as long as my biological father doesn't cause any trouble.
Li Lanlan thought about it and simply responded: "It's okay. I still have land at home, so I can survive."
"Hey, my son-in-law is just trying to make a fool of himself. Even if he wants people to know how powerful he is, he can't do this. Let's do this. If I have money in the future, I will send it to you. You guys can get through it first."
Father Li was so devoted to his daughter that he could not imagine that he could starve his daughter to save other people's children before.
Thinking that the son-in-law's family was in such a difficult situation, for the sake of the safety of his family, he spent all the family money to buy gold jewelry to make people think he was powerful, and I admired him very much.
Thinking about it again, he still has pancakes at home, why would he have to take advantage of his son-in-law's family who is already having difficulties?
From now on, he will have to work harder and farm the land. Not only will he support Widow Zhang, but he will also support his daughter and her family.
Thinking about being able to save so many people, he felt very happy.
Father Li stood up and patted the dust on his butt: "I won't eat at your house, Lan Lan. If you have a hard time, just endure it for now. As long as you do good things, you will definitely be better off in the future."
After saying that, he left the Lin family with an expression of "I have a great responsibility".
Li Lanlan watched her biological father leave with a question mark on her face, not following his thoughts at all.
She hasn't learned from her husband yet and started cheating.
Why does it seem like dad has been deceived?
But she didn't do anything.
As soon as the door to the big room next door opened, she saw Father Li's back leaving. She was thinking about the pair of gold earrings yesterday, which burned her ass | she couldn't eat or sleep well. She finally closed her eyes and couldn't even dream. It was Li Lanlan's beautiful face wearing beautiful and small gold earrings dangling in front of her.
She was not an open-minded person to begin with, so it would be fine if everyone lived an average life, but ended up splitting up the family. She originally thought that the family would be prosperous and prosperous from now on, throw away their tarnishes, and reach the peak of their lives.
The results of it?
The prostitutes are reaching the peak of their lives next door, but they themselves are working hard day by day. They can't even touch a silver earring, let alone a gold earring.
If in the past, the daughter-in-law of a eldest daughter-in-law had relied on her mother-in-law's good temper, and Lin Shiheng was a scholar who wanted to save face and not care about women, she might have been shameless enough to ask for earrings. But just yesterday she heard Lin Shiheng say that he had government connections, and she was so courageous. I was so frightened that I dared to do anything else.
She didn't do anything and just watched Li Lanlan, her sister-in-law who was more than 20 years younger than her, enjoying the good things, drinking well, wearing gold and silver, and she felt unhappy.
After tossing and turning all night, the eldest daughter-in-law finally came up with a good idea.
She went to find Li's father and "accidentally" revealed that Lin Shiheng was rich and had bought gold earrings and a gold bracelet.
When the time comes, there is no need for her to take action. Father Li, who is mentally ill, will definitely treat his son-in-law like he treats his daughter-in-law's family.
At that time, she would not offend her third brother, but she could watch the excitement, and watch the misfortune of Li Lanlan, her sister-in-law who should not have a better life than herself.
It’s really killing three birds with one stone!
The eldest daughter-in-law felt that she was very smart and actually came up with such a good idea. Although she was so sleepy that she was shaking when walking after not sleeping well all night, she was still in an excited mood and went out excitedly in the morning, ready to go. Go find Father Li.
As a result, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Father Li just leaving.
what's the situation?
Is he so well-informed?
Have you already borrowed money?
The eldest daughter-in-law was looking forward to it and anxious. She wanted to rush over and ask if Father Li had spoken. When she saw the earrings still hanging on the ears of Li Lanlan, who was busy in the yard, she felt relieved.
The earrings are still there. As long as Father Li is not blind, he can always see the gold earrings, right?
If you saw him, would you know that Sanfang is rich? Knowing that Sanfang has money, how can he not ask for a loan?
The more I thought about it, the more relieved I became. After dinner, when Boss Lin announced that the family was going out to work, the eldest daughter-in-law, who was thinking about watching the excitement in the third bedroom, started to pretend to be in pain while holding her stomach.
She is not going out, she wants to stay at home and watch the excitement in the third room.
Boss Lin looked at his wife with disgust. He had lived with her for so many years, and of course he could tell whether she was really in pain or pretending to be in pain. Boss Lin naturally didn't expect that she was pretending to be in pain just to see a joke, and he just thought she was being lazy.
Such a lazy woman, why did he fall in love with her in the first place!
Full of dissatisfaction, he led his son and daughter-in-law out with a cold face.
It’s not that the eldest daughter-in-law didn’t see her husband’s dissatisfaction, but she was too determined to see the third-bedroom joke, so she ignored it and stayed at home expectantly, looking forward to the third-bedroom.
The third room has prepared a meal, and each person has the luxury of having an egg.
Lin Shiheng and Li Lanlan were eating outside as usual, and Lin's mother brought the food to the house to eat with Lin's father.
The aroma of the food wafted to the eldest daughter-in-law, making her salivate.
She was lazy at work, and Boss Lin was annoyed. During breakfast today, he specifically asked his wife to eat only half a bowl of clear porridge. The daughter-in-law of the eldest daughter-in-law dared to challenge her mother-in-law but did not dare to anger her husband, so she had to endure it.
But now, her hungry stomach growled, but she could only stand aside and watch Lin Shiheng and Li Lanlan eat.
After dinner, perhaps because the family had money, Mother Lin was in a good mood and did not go to the ground so early. Lin Shiheng went into the house to read, while Mother Lin and Li Lanlan sat in the yard doing needlework, laughing from time to time.
The plot of "the mother-in-law turns against her and beats her daughter-in-law with a stick" that the eldest daughter-in-law has been waiting for has not yet appeared.
By noon, the family even ate meat. The meat was so fragrant that the daughter-in-law, who had been hungry all morning, almost stopped her from crawling along the wall.
By the time we finished eating, everything was calm and nothing happened.
What's going on? impossible?
Could it be that Li Lanlan hid the fact that her biological father came to borrow money? But wasn't Lin Shiheng there in the morning?
The eldest daughter-in-law couldn't bear it any longer, so while Mother Lin was out feeding the pigs, she cautiously approached and asked.
"Mom, I saw the third brother and sister's father coming this morning. What is he here for?"
Mother Lin didn't want to talk to her, but she was thinking about the rabbit meat she just ate, and wanted to covet this unfilial daughter-in-law.
Her eyelids drooped: "What else can I do? I'm thinking about your third brother and sister, so I brought her delicious food. Such a fat rabbit, my father-in-law didn't even touch a bite, he brought it all to us. It doesn't look like someone." These people return empty-handed every year, so no wonder they raise a white-eyed wolf.”
This is naturally referring to the eldest daughter-in-law. She was poked and called an ungrateful person. Of course, she was unhappy, but she didn't care about being unhappy now. She was just shocked.
They came to deliver rabbits?
How is it possible? Li Lanlan's father had this strange character before, how could he change all of a sudden?
He had never been polite to Li Lanlan's mother's family before!
Mother Lin looked at her eldest daughter-in-law with a silly look on her face, and felt a little bored for a while.
She was wasting her breath with such a person. She might as well follow Shi Heng's words and go to the village to show off the gold bracelet on her wrist.
Before, the old man had an accident, and Shi Heng always failed the exam. The villagers said all kinds of things. Now she finally found a chance to be proud of herself.
Thinking of this, Mother Lin didn't go to see her daughter-in-law again, but went out directly. The eldest daughter-in-law stared at her mother-in-law's back blankly, and felt that her whole outlook on life was refreshed.
How is this possible? !
Impossible!
Didn't Li Lanlan's father ignore her? How could she be given rabbit meat?
The more the first wife thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was strange.
Li Lanlan was not a peaceful person because she was so proud yesterday. Maybe she had deceived Li's father.
No, she had to expose her!
Thinking of this, the first wife went out with a slender waist like a bucket, intending to use her eloquent tongue to stir up trouble between the third wife.
She found Lin's father who was walking back smoothly.
"Gold bracelet? Gold earrings?"
Lin's father smiled at his daughter's sister-in-law: "I know, Shi Heng went to the government to help with accounting and make money."
The first wife was stunned: "You... you know?"
This reaction is wrong?
"Yes, it's not easy for them. Hey, you are Shi Heng's sister-in-law and Lan Lan's sister-in-law. They live a hard life and have poor food and drink. You can help them if you can. We are all family members, so help each other."
"Also, Shi Heng's father is lying in bed and needs medicine. You are all family members and call him father. You can't just ignore everything. Even if you don't pay, you can give him medicine. And Sister Lin, it's pitiful. She has to work in the fields at such an old age. You, as children, should help her from time to time, help plant the land, harvest grain, etc. You are all children and daughters-in-law, and you should be filial to the elderly..."
Hard life...
Poor food and drink...
The wife of the first room was full of gold jewelry and fish, meat, rabbit eggs. When she heard that Father Li asked her to help the third room with money from her father-in-law and help the third room plant the land, she almost laughed out of anger.
Good!
I thought he was a fool, but he turned out to be a weasel. So smart! She even pretended to be stupid to help her daughter!
She should have known this long ago. How could a father who gave a whole rabbit to his daughter who had already married out not love his daughter?
Feeling that she had figured it out, the eldest wife turned around and left with a fierce look on her face, ignoring the kind advice of Li's father.
Li Lanlan was so lucky that she could have such a good father.
Pah! Shit luck!
