Chapter 150 Ancient Farmer (7)

Mother Lin had been worried all day, nothing more than her youngest son saying he wanted to go to the county town to sell the copied books. She was worried that something might happen to this matter.

Before Father Lin was bedridden, Mother Lin never mentioned that her son should use his scholar status to make money. On the one hand, she felt that it was not good for a scholar to take advantage of the wealth, and on the other hand, she was worried that he would only focus on making money and delay his studies.

This morning, she learned that her son was secretly copying books without telling her to make money to supplement the family income. She felt warm and bitter in her heart.

If they had not given most of the family property to the unfilial eldest and second sons, the youngest son would not have suffered this hardship.

He had only read books since he was a child. Now that he copied books for the first time to make money, would he be cheated? 8221228103583127880“362152154382212345426102

Because she wanted to see her youngest son as soon as possible, Lin's mother did not go out today. She sat at the entrance of the yard, standing up and looking outside from time to time, with her hands sewing insoles.

Compared with her, although Li Lanlan was also worried about her husband, she was more confident in her husband. She sat next to her mother-in-law and made a green robe in her hand.

The provincial examination held every three years is coming. When the time comes, Lin Shiheng will go to the provincial capital to take the exam. Lin's mother is worried that her son will be looked down upon if he doesn't wear good clothes outside. Even though the family is in a difficult situation, she still bites the bullet and goes to the county to get a piece of good cloth, and gives it to Li Lanlan to make a piece of clothes.

Li Lanlan is good at sewing, and now she is sewing. Since it was her husband's clothes, she was more careful than sewing her own clothes, sewing every stitch very tightly and carefully.

Because her two sons were not filial, Lin's mother now treated her only filial son as a treasure. It was easy to please her, just be nice to her son.

Therefore, in her eyes, Li Lanlan's attentiveness was simply a super virtuous and good daughter-in-law.

Think about it again, this daughter-in-law is not as lazy as the eldest and second daughters-in-law. Not only does she take care of everything at home, but every time she didn't say anything, Li Lanlan was already working hard, which was in stark contrast to the two lazy women opposite who had to be scolded by the eldest and second every time they did something before they were willing to work. She was even more satisfied.

Thinking of her youngest son, Lin's mother sewed a few times on the shoes absent-mindedly, turned her head and said to Li Lanlan with a pleasant face: "Lanlan, are you tired? Why don't you go to the house and rest for a while. "

Li Lanlan picked up the clothes in her hand and shook them, smiling and shaking her head: "It's just making a piece of clothing, how can I be tired."

"Mom, do you want some water? I'll go into the house and get you a bowl of water?"

Don't say it, Lin's mother was really thirsty after working for so long. Seeing that she agreed, Li Lanlan carefully put down the clothes and went into the house to get water.

The disadvantage of their house is that it used to be a big family. Although it is now separated, if other rooms want to see what is going on in other rooms, it is simply unobstructed. Lin's mother and Li Lanlan sat at the door together for a whole day, and the daughters-in-law who stayed in the first and second rooms could see it clearly.

They don't have the courage of their own mother-in-law to challenge Lin's mother, so they have been concentrating on their own things. They only occasionally see how Lin's mother smiles at Li Lanlan and how she speaks to her in a friendly manner, and a little bit of lust rises in their hearts. Envy.

The first and second wives were very kind to their husbands, and they were very respectful and nice to their sons, but they were very nice to their daughters-in-law, and they just wanted to lie in bed and have their daughters-in-law serve them in everything.

They were the younger generation, and even if they had opinions in their hearts, they couldn't say anything. Fortunately, the father-in-law couldn't stand the mother-in-law's behavior, and the grandmother who lived next door with the third uncle was not polite. Once these two offended her, she would directly grab the father-in-law and scold him.

In fact, these younger generations were not so happy about the division of the family. Just like what Lin's mother said before, the biggest money-making of this family still came from Lin's father. He worked hard in the fields and made a lot of money. It depends on how much face God gives. After paying taxes, there is basically only enough for the family to eat. There is really not much left.

Before the family was divided, the family could occasionally eat eggs. If the father-in-law made more money, he would also exchange it for fish. Although there were not many people who could eat a few bites of fish, it was good to have fish soup.

Now it is good. After the family was divided, each family has its own family. Their mothers-in-law are all stingy. Even if they have money, they are unwilling to spend more time on food. Since the family was divided, the family, including their children, have not eaten a bite of eggs. Otherwise, the grandson of the eldest house would not have seen the third house eating eggs from a distance and was so greedy last time.

The young daughter-in-law The wife didn't think about how much money Lin's father needed for medicine. They only saw that the third room next door had delicious food every day. Now that the third uncle got married and Li Lanlan came into the house, she didn't suffer as much as the villagers said before.

Thinking of this, the young wife kept looking at Li Lanlan while working.

Li Lanlan was wearing a floral dress at the moment. It was worn by Lin's mother when she was young. Later, she was old and her waist was thick. She originally wanted to give it to the daughter-in-law below. Unexpectedly, the two daughters-in-law had thicker waists than hers. Later, it was kept at the bottom of the box. Now that there was a slim and filial daughter-in-law, Lin's mother remembered it, took it out, altered it, and gave it to Li Lanlan.

She was fair-skinned. After she got married, she had Lin Shiheng, a handsome husband, to compare with. She was more careful to avoid the sun. Maybe it was because of her physical condition. She worked in the fields. She was so careful to avoid the sun, but she was actually a lot whiter than before. Now she was wearing this floral dress, with beautiful features and a rosy face. She was not worried. She was holding a cup of water and smiling towards the door. She looked like a world apart from the girls in the village.

She was so lucky.

Thinking of the gentle smile of the uncle next door to Li Lanlan, and the patient way he taught her to read in the yard when the weather was cool, the young wife could not help but envy him.

No wonder her mother-in-law disliked her third aunt. They were sisters-in-law. Her mother-in-law was ordered around by her father-in-law, and her grandmother looked down on her. Of course, she was jealous of her third aunt.

The eldest daughter-in-law was exhausted from working in the field, so she found an excuse and ran back, intending to take a good rest in the house. Anyway, the daughter-in-law would not dare to complain.

As soon as she came back, she saw her eldest daughter-in-law looking at Li Lanlan with envy and yearning.

Her face immediately darkened, and she went up to scold her: "Why are you not working and looking around?! Working at home is tiring your precious eyes, right? Next time I see you being lazy, don't stay in the house, go to the field as soon as possible! Do you really think everyone is the same as others, and can rest at home without working in the hot weather?!"

This is another indirect criticism.

Li Lanlan heard it, she frowned, looked up, but Lin's mother looked indifferent, as if she had seen through it a long time ago, "Don't pay attention to her, she is just looking for trouble."

She obeyed and didn't look at the eldest daughter-in-law. After scolding the daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law turned around and looked at Li Lanlan.

When she saw the floral dress on Li Lanlan, she was so angry that her eyes were squinting.

She had wanted that dress for many years, but her mother-in-law had always said that she was too fat and refused to give it to her. It was because she was partial to her. As soon as Li Lanlan came in, she couldn't wait to give it to her.

Looking at Li Lanlan's face again, the expression on the face of the first wife's face changed several times.

Li Lanlan had been eating and drinking well during this period, and her mother-in-law was satisfied with her. Although her husband didn't talk much, he was very considerate in his actions. In addition, he had a way to treat his father, so he was in an unprecedented good mood and didn't want to bother with people who didn't care.

After combining several factors, her complexion was much better than before she got married. It seemed that her face had some flesh, which made her more beautiful than before.

In the eyes of the first wife, these changes were the good food that Lin's mother gave her.

Like the eggs that day, she was so greedy, but she could only watch Lin Shiheng put them into Li Lanlan's bowl with chopsticks.

Also, yesterday their third room had fish. When she smelled the fish, she stood by the wall and listened secretly. They said that Lin Shiheng and Li Lanlan had come back from their parents' home. They were bored at home, so they took a book and a fishing rod and went to the river to fish while reading. As a result, they really caught two big fat fish.

Lin's mother made fish soup, and the family had a delicious meal. They ate well, and the fragrance spread to the next door, which attracted the other two rooms. The little grandson alone made a fuss to eat it several times.

The first room's wife didn't believe Lin Shiheng's nonsense about fishing. He used to hate these smelly things the most. It was strange that he could go to the river to fish. Maybe he wanted to eat fish and took the money from home to buy it outside. He was afraid of being scolded by Lin's mother, so he made up a lie.

Even if she thought so, her heart was still like a cat scratching, and she felt very uncomfortable.

She also wanted to eat chicken and fish.

The purpose of the division was to get rid of Lin Shiheng, the money-hungry scholar, and Lin's father, the father-in-law who needed to recover from illness and buy medicine. Obviously, they succeeded in their wish. Why did they have to suffer every day after the division, while the third room next door, which should have lived a hard life, lived so comfortably, and even the new daughter-in-law who married in lived better than her.

The first room's wife felt so sour. After she finished her indirect complaints, she saw her daughter-in-law working hard and no one in the third room next door cared about her. She felt even more uncomfortable.

She felt uncomfortable and her mind was hot. She didn't care about being scolded by her husband before. She said to her daughter-in-law in a scolding voice: "Although the eldest girl is still young, you should also look for her husband's family early. It doesn't matter who you find, but don't find a scholar. Even if he studies for ten thousand years, he can't bring money home." 8221228103583127880 "362152154382212345426102

Mother Lin couldn't stand it the most. She threw the insole on her hand and stood up with a fierce face.

Before she could get angry, she heard her son's gentle voice in the distance.

"Mom!"

Lin Shiheng walked very fast. When he arrived at the door, he didn't take time to rest. He handed over the two jewelry boxes in his hand and said with a smile: "My son made some money by copying books, so he made two gold jewelry for me. See if you like them. "

As he spoke, his slender hands directly opened the wooden box.

In the sunlight, the glittering gold jewelry almost dazzled the eldest wife's eyes.
