Chapter 152 Ancient Farmer (9)

Li Lanlan was flattered. She had never seen gold jewelry, let alone own one. When her husband gave jewelry to her mother-in-law, she envied him, but she never thought that she could get one.

Now that Lin's mother wanted to give her one, Li Lanlan was grateful and terrified. She subconsciously refused and said, "No, mother, this is what my husband bought for you, how can you give it to me."

The eldest wife stared at the pair of gold earrings, her eyes were green, and she could hardly believe what she heard.

Those were gold earrings!

Gold!!

Is Li Lanlan stupid? The gold earrings were delivered to her door, but she didn't want them!!

If it were her, let alone gold earrings, she would immediately take them and wear them on her ears even if they were silver.

Lin Shiheng, who came out of the house, also agreed with his wife's statement and advised: "Yes, mother, Lanlan doesn't need to wear these things. Besides, I bought them for you."

The eldest daughter-in-law, who was envious, jealous and suspicious of Li Lanlan's mental problems, felt better after hearing what Lin Shiheng said.

She said, how could someone be so stupid and so lucky.

What's the use of the mother-in-law's false kindness if the husband is not considerate.

After hearing her son's words, Lin's mother was a little happy.

If he agreed to give the gold earrings to Li Lanlan, although it was Lin's mother who took the initiative to propose it, she would still be a little unhappy in her heart. This was different from other facial features. It was just because she lost two sons and paid more attention to the remaining son.

If Lin Shiheng also wanted to give it to Li Lanlan, she would not show anything on her face, but she would also feel unhappy that her son was taken away by her daughter-in-law.

But Lin Shiheng disagreed, so Lin's mother was not only not unhappy, but also felt sorry for her from Li Lanlan's perspective.

"What woman doesn't love these things? After Lanlan got married, she had to work in the fields and take care of the family without stopping for a moment. We didn't have the conditions before, but now we have the conditions, so of course we have to let her dress up well."

Li Lanlan really felt unworthy. Although her family didn't ask for a betrothal gift, she could eat eggs almost every day after she got married. She also had fish yesterday. Although she was working, before she got married, because Li's father was always running around to help people, she did much more work than now.

That was a gift from her husband to her mother, how could she accept it.

"Mom, I really don't need it. My husband bought it for you. You can wear it yourself."

The wife of the eldest house, who was leaning against the short wall, almost popped her eyes out.

She didn't understand why her mother-in-law was so cold and stern to her as a daughter-in-law, wishing to drive her out of the Lin family, but was so gentle and kind to Li Lanlan, even giving up her gold earrings?

Moreover, what made her most jealous was that Li Lanlan could get what she wanted but could not get, but she just didn't want it.

What kind of a fool is this?

Mother Lin didn't think her daughter-in-law was stupid at all. On the contrary, she thought her daughter-in-law was smart, filial, sensible and considerate. Just think about it, if any mother-in-law in the village said she wanted to give such a gold earring to her daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law would have been eager to take it.

Only her Shi Heng's daughter-in-law could be like Shi Heng, not caring about money, being filial to their elders and putting their needs first.

Mother Lin imagined a lot in her mind, and her eyes looking at Li Lanlan became more kind, and even her tone became gentle. She stretched out her hand with a gold bracelet, held Li Lanlan's hand and patted it gently.

"Look at you, kid. Your mother is old. Why do you dress up so beautifully? Shi Heng is a man of great ability. You are his wife, so of course you have to dress up beautifully. Moreover, this gold earring is meant to be passed on to the daughter-in-law. I give it to you now. When you and Shi Heng have a son and your son marries a wife, you can give it to her."

"Come on, put it on quickly, let me see if it looks good."

Li Lanlan was still a little hesitant, but Lin Shiheng seemed to be convinced by Lin's mother. "Mother is right. You are my wife and you have to wear some jewelry. Since mother gave this earring to you, you should take it."

She was used to listening to her husband. When she heard this, her hesitation disappeared immediately and she solemnly took the earring, "Thank you, mother."

The eldest daughter-in-law, who wanted to jump over the earth wall and rush to Lin's mother to grab the earring, looked at Li Lanlan eagerly. She didn't refuse it like before, but took the earring very happily, covered her chest, and was suffocated by the pain.

She didn't want it before, why is she so happy now?

She's pretending, she must be pretending!

Those are gold earrings!

Lin's mother didn't think her filial daughter-in-law was pretending, she felt that Li Lanlan listened to her son, and she was even happier.

That's right, only when the couple is harmonious can she give birth to a fat grandson earlier and expand the Lin family.

As for the grandchildren of the first and second rooms next door, the old lady simply pretended not to remember anything about it.

They've already separated, why are they still thinking about these things.

Seeing Li Lanlan holding the gold jewelry, Lin Shiheng was flattered and at a loss. He smiled lightly, took the earrings and whispered, "Let me put them on you."

He was handsome and fair. Because he loved cleanliness, he always had the scent of soapberries on his body, unlike the sweaty smell of Li's father that Li Lanlan was used to before. At this moment, he stood in front of her, listening to his magnetic voice talking in a low voice. Inexplicably, Li Lanlan's earlobes became red.

She didn't say a word, but just silently turned slightly to expose her earlobes.

Lin Shiheng reached out his hand, first took out the grass stem that was originally used as an earring in Li Lanlan's ear, and then gently put the earrings in.

His movements were light and fast, as if he withdrew his hand in just a moment.

Li Lanlan grabbed the corner of her clothes with her hand in a bit of a panic, quietly raised her eyes and looked at him carefully, feeling the earrings shaking because of her movements, and even her voice unconsciously became lower.

"How is it?"

Her husband stood there and smiled at her.

"Very pretty."

Li Lanlan's heart suddenly erupted with an emotion that made her feel strange and sweet. Before her red earlobes cooled down, her fair cheeks also turned red.

Lin's mother looked at her daughter-in-law who was shy because of her son's praise, and her eyes were full of nostalgia and kindness.

"Lanlan looks better when she wears it, and she looks no worse than those girls in the town."

She had only been out of the village a few times in her life, so she didn't know what the girls in the town looked like, but it didn't stop her from imagining it.

Before she had Lin Shiheng, her son, Lin's mother disliked the kind of fair, thin, weak and beautiful daughter-in-law the most when choosing a daughter-in-law. In her eyes, this meant that she was not good at work and attracted attention. But after her youngest son passed the examination and repeatedly expressed that he looked down on those black, strong and illiterate women in the village, Lin's mother's aesthetics were inevitably affected.

For example, now, the more she looked at Li Lanlan, the more she liked her, because Li Lanlan was pretty and filial.

The more she looked at the first wife, the more she hated her, because she was not only ugly but also always liked to make trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin's mother looked at the first wife, and sure enough, she saw the sturdy woman staring at Li Lanlan's ears with jealousy and greed. It seemed that she wanted to rush over and snatch the earrings and put them on her ears.

Humph, you have never seen the world!

Lin's mother, who had just given a pair of gold earrings to her daughter-in-law, felt that her soul and taste were sublimated.

When she saw the first wife, she thought of how she had tolerated her sons and let her daughter-in-law ride on her head, and how the daughters-in-law couldn't wait to divide the family property and drive away the parents-in-law when her husband was sick.

Lin's mother became more and more angry. She always listened to her husband and sons, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way to vent her anger.

She pinched her waist, deliberately raised her voice, and said to Li Lanlan: "Lanlan, you are lucky. According to the rules of the Lin family, this gold earring has always been passed on to the eldest daughter-in-law. If it weren't for the division of the family, the old man and I would have lived with Shiheng, and this gold earring would not have been passed on to you."

Lin Shiheng knew what his mother wanted to do as soon as he saw her look. He didn't even mention that the gold earrings were originally bought by him. He very cooperatively reminded his wife: "Mother is right, Lanlan, why don't you thank your sister-in-law."

Li Lanlan was also smart. She looked at her mother-in-law who was deliberately talking loudly and squinting at the sister-in-law next door, and she knew what she wanted to do.

Thinking of the faces of the first and second wives when her husband told her about the division of the family and the tired expressions on the faces of her parents-in-law and parents-in-law when they were so sad, Li Lanlan naturally didn't have a good impression of the first and second wives.

She immediately turned around and smiled brightly at the first wife: "Thank you, sister-in-law. If you didn't want it, I wouldn't have a pair of gold earrings."

As she spoke, Li Lanlan deliberately reached out and touched the left earring, fiddled with it, and asked the first wife with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you think I look good wearing these earrings?"

The first wife: "..."

She was already very angry before, and now she was reminded by her mother-in-law that the earrings should have been passed on to her, and she almost fainted when she saw Li Lanlan's proud look.

She was originally a petty person, so of course she would not think that the earrings were bought by Lin Shiheng, and even if the family had not been divided, they would not have fallen into her hands. She only had one sentence in her mind:

If the family had not been divided, the person wearing the gold earrings would be her!

Her daughter-in-law was working hard, but when she looked up, she saw her mother-in-law holding her chest and looking like she couldn't breathe. She was startled and hurried forward to help.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Mom?"

"I, I'm fine..."

The eldest wife didn't fall down.

She stood up firmly.

What's wrong with having gold earrings? Sooner or later, they will be given to the daughter-in-law.

Li Lanlan wearing gold earrings will make the villagers jealous, but it will also let others see how rich she is.

If her father saw it, would he not come to borrow money?

This is a person who borrowed money from his wife's family and cut off contact with them. Can he let Lin Shiheng go? !

Absolutely not!

She waited, waiting to see Father Li come to borrow money and then anger her mother-in-law.

The next day, Father Li really came.

Just as Lin Shiheng was about to go to meet him, Li Lanlan pulled him back. She looked at her father who was walking towards the front door of the Lin family, and rubbed her eyes with her other hand until they turned red, looking pitiful.

Although she looked pitiful, her eyes were full of fighting spirit for the battlefield.

"Husband, take a rest, I'll do it!"
