Chapter 13: tear yourself down
Chapter 13 Dismantling Yourself
As soon as Chu Nanzhi showed her face, she saw two young women aggressively surrounding her:
"The surname is Chu, look at how the group of **** you raised have grabbed my mother's hands. Since you and the eldest brother can't manage it well, then I, the aunt, will have to take care of it."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the two of them, and it was Lin Jinxiao's second younger sibling, Qin Xianglian, who was talking. She lifted up her sleeve in a hurry, and there was a fresh scratch on her wrist.
With her was Lin Jinxiao's half-sister Lin Jinyun, who was also watching her fiercely.
Chu Nanzhi still didn't know what happened in the courtyard, so she turned her eyes to the little guys first.
Seeing that it was Chu Nanzhi who came back, the four little guys ran to Lin Jinxiao and hid.
At this time, Lin Jinxiao was sitting on the edge of the stone table, holding a cane in his hand, with a gloomy face, and didn't want to talk to the two sisters-in-law.
Furthermore, he never asked about the family money, and when he came back yesterday, he never heard from the county people that the county magistrate rewarded Chu Nanzhi with money.
Dabao Lin Ruiwen thought that the bad woman was going to beat him again, so he hurriedly explained fiercely with puffy eyes: "It's because they didn't listen to Dad's advice, and insisted on breaking into the house to get the money grandma left us."
Sibao Lin Ruijia also vigilantly tightened the package containing silver and jewelry.
Lin Jinyun stared at the package in Sibao's hand, her face sullen:
"What's the matter with us taking some money? Your grandmother has raised your father so much. Would it be against the law to use some money from your family? You little people have no conscience."
As he spoke, he took another special look at Chu Nanzhi, curled his lips and said, "Now that you have made a fortune, you will forget about the kindness of nurturing, it is simply unfilial and ungrateful."
"I have to say a few words about ingratitude."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't listen any longer. Thinking of some past events, looking at Lin Jinyun, she smiled helplessly and said:
"After your father passed away, I heard that your family had a very difficult time. Who helped your mother raise you and your second brother, it was your eldest brother."
At that time, Lin Jinxiao was only five or six years old. Apart from helping the family, he had to go out to beg for work from the big families to earn some loose silver to supplement the family.
Lin Jinyun faltered for a while when he heard this, but then replied confidently: "But Auntie didn't treat Eldest Brother badly, and even arranged for Eldest Brother to marry you."
After thinking about it, she smiled proudly: "If it wasn't for my aunt, would you be able to cling to a scholar like my elder brother with your background?"
"You look down on my family so much, but what you wear and what you wear on your hands are not bought with money from my family. If it weren't for this marriage, would you be able to live so comfortably?"
Speaking, she turned her eyes to Qin Xianglian again: "Without the five hundred taels of silver from our family, how could your second brother marry this daughter-in-law? Can he buy so many fields?"
At this point, Chu Nanzhi's heart became turbulent for some reason, looked at Lin Jinyun with sharp eyes, and said sharply:
"The poor man has worked so hard for your family. Not to mention that he hasn't eaten a few full meals at your house, your mother even asked him to leave the house without even giving him a house."
"Isn't there your mother?"
Lin Jinyun looked at the small courtyard, and said as a matter of course: "My mother didn't think the house built by your mother was shabby, it's not bad, my mother gave such a good marriage to your family, don't you spend some money? Shouldn't it?"
"My Chu family owes you a lot. After marrying my daughter, I have to pay money to pay for the house."
The anger in Chu Nanzhi's eyes gradually grew, and his tone of voice became more and more serious: "For a person like you, don't mention kindness, righteousness and filial piety to me. My family has suffered a catastrophe. You just don't come to visit. Thinking so hard about searching for money, what face do you have?"
"Your family suffered catastrophe not all because of you, what right do you have to say such a thing."
Lin Jinyun didn't expect this woman to talk in a way now, and she couldn't talk to her at all, so she simply thrust her waist and said arrogantly:
"I tell you, Chu Nanzhi, you have to give the money today, or you have to give it if you don't. You beat and kicked my aunt the day before yesterday, making her so sick that she can't even get out of bed."
After finishing speaking, she pulled Qin Xianglian over again, grabbed her arm and gestured: "Look, the second sister-in-law's hands were also dripping with blood from that son of a bitch, Dabao. They don't need money to cure them."
"These little guys are staying at home well, if you don't rush to provoke them, how can they make things difficult for you."
Chu Nanzhi felt that the two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law were completely in love.
She had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen such shameless ones. She couldn't hold back and indeed slapped Mrs. Chen the night before, but it wasn't so serious. The punches and kicks were thanks to Lin Jinxiao and the four children. The guy watched, otherwise he would be wronged for no reason.
Qin Xianglian felt that what she said was deliberately covering up the child, and was about to come over to defend her, but Lin Jinxiao said angrily, "Enough."
Everyone looked around, only to see him slowly raise his head, staring at Lin Jinyun, his face ashen ashes: "Lin Jinyun, I have paid off what I owed your family all these years, and I don't want to have anything to do with you in the future." , your aunt and sister-in-law go back quickly, if you make trouble again, I can only report to the police."
For the Lin family, he seems to have given up on it.
"Brother, don't you really care about your mother?"
Lin Jinyun was a little disappointed, her brows were furrowed.
At this moment, Li Ce walked in with a bamboo basket on his back, followed by two old men and a middle-aged man.
Chu Nanzhi fixed her eyes and saw that the two elders in the lead were none other than Lin Jinxiao's mentors, Nie Huai'an, a village official from Caifeng Township, and Chang Yanjue, a great Confucian from Luyan Port.
The middle-aged man is Lizheng Liu Qingbo from the village.
Lin Jinyun seemed to have grabbed hold of a life-saving straw, and immediately ran over, threw herself in front of Nie Huai'an, and cried loudly: "Master, you have to make decisions for your niece."
Immediately pointed to Chu Nanzhi, shouting even more aggrieved:
"This vile woman injured my mother. I came to her to ask for some money to treat my mother's illness. If she didn't give it, it's fine. I also let her little **** scratch my second sister-in-law. My mother worked hard to raise my elder brother. When you grow up, you are his mentor, you can't just watch him do things that damage filial piety."
"Oh, come on, you stinky girl, stop fooling yourself here."
Nie Huai'an didn't want to hear these trivial things, so he and Chang Yanjue looked at each other, and said with a sneer:
"Others don't know about your family's affairs. Elder Chang and I still don't know about it. If it weren't for Lao Chang and me, Dalang of the Lin family would have starved to death long ago. Dalang treated your family well. You just stop and stop. This family just narrowly escaped death, let them take a breather."
"Can"
Lin Jinyun was a little reconciled, she wiped her tears and asked Nie Huai'an to stop her with a wave before she could say anything else.
His face looked extremely impatient.
Seeing this, Qin Xianglian came out pretending to be polite and said:
"We shouldn't have said this to my eldest brother and sister-in-law, but it happened for a reason. In the past two years, taxes have been heavy, and there has been a spring famine at the beginning of the year. The crops in the field are not good. The family can't get rid of the pot. But my mother came back the night before and gave birth. I was sick, and now I can’t get out of bed.”
Following that, she looked at Chu Nanzhi meaningfully, and her tone became extremely unfriendly:
"All this has to be given by my sister-in-law. Her old man came here to uphold justice for the elder brother. It was a good intention, but the sister-in-law beat her indiscriminately. How can she bear the punches and kicks of her sister-in-law at such an old age? Brother and sister-in-law shouldn’t have given some money to help her old man see a doctor and get medicine.”
"Why can't I get out of bed, I'm just talking nonsense with my eyes open."
Liu Lizheng, who was by the side of the old man, was swollen when he heard it: "I just saw Mrs. Chen cutting vegetables in the vegetable field, and I told her to run away, but why did I hold back such a bad thing?" fart."
After finishing speaking, Liu Lizheng scolded Qin Xianglian impatiently:
"If you two want to harm someone, you should make a fuss in advance. Don't be embarrassing in front of the elders and discredit your father. The elders are here today for business. Get out, get out."
He already hated those members of the Chen family to the extreme. Over the years, he liked to talk about the dead County Magistrate Lin, as if there was nothing he could do about them.
The aunt and sister-in-law were reprimanded by Liu Qingbo for this, and suddenly felt humiliated. Chen asked them to come over to ask for money, but she herself dismantled the stage first, she was speechless.
Before going out, Lin Jinyun also told Mrs. Chen to stay at home and pretend to be sick. She never thought that her mother would go out to cut vegetables and be bumped into by Li Zheng.
What's the matter?
Just thinking about the fifty taels of silver, she couldn't be reconciled.
Qin Xianglian was afraid that she would continue to mess around, so she forced her to escape out of the yard in a desperate manner.
