Chapter 153 Ancient Farmer (10) (1/2)

Father Li came over, not because he was well-informed, but because he was worried about his daughter and son-in-law. Yesterday, he went to the county to help widow Zhang, and when he came back, he helped an old man who fell down and brought him back to his home. To express his gratitude, the old man's hunter son gave him a rabbit.

The rabbit was fat and looked delicious. Father Li didn't know how long he hadn't touched meat. Now there was no daughter like Li Lanlan to cook for him at home. His own food was always half-cooked. Seeing this rabbit made him drool.

But he didn't eat it. He was a saint. Even if he was starving, he would give away this fat rabbit in his hand.

At first, Father Li wanted to give to widow Zhang, after all, she was close, and widow Zhang always complained to him about being poor. But because it was time for dinner, widow Zhang thought that Father Li, a grown man, must eat a lot, so she didn't leave him any food. People had already come out, and even though he was injured and carrying a rabbit, he was embarrassed to go over at dinner time.

After thinking about it, he thought of his poor daughter. 3583127880“22810234542610236215386463864621543

Lan Lan is a good girl, but unfortunately she has a bad fate. The Lin family now requires her to do everything. She can’t even eat enough. There are patients to take care of at home, and her son-in-law is also a man who can’t work.

Thinking of Lan Lan’s grievance when she cried to him last time, and said that she felt sorry for her parents-in-law who had to suffer with her at such an old age, Father Li felt soft-hearted.

So he didn’t hesitate and took the rabbit back. Because it was late, he waited until the next morning to come.

As a result, when he arrived at the door of his son-in-law’s house, his daughter came to meet him, first called him dad 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 innocently and handed the rabbit in his hand over: "It’s a thank-you gift from others. Bring it to you to eat. "

Li Lanlan hadn't really noticed the rabbit before. When she saw the rabbit being brought to her by her father by the ears, she was stunned, and her red eyes showed some complexity.

In the past, no matter how she explained the facts and reason, Li's father would only move it out and never bring it home. But now, without her saying anything, he would send the rabbit to her.

She felt sour and bitter in her heart, uncomfortable and wronged. Her eyes, which had been red from rubbing, were really red now. She turned her head and wiped her eyes, choking and said, "This is a thank-you gift from others. You can eat it yourself, why give it to me?"

Li's father was a little hungry and had a stomachache, but he still smiled and replied, "It's okay, Dad still has a harvest. You are not living well, so I will take care of you first."

His putting others before himself, which once made Li Lanlan hate him so much, now seemed like a soft sand, invading her heart little by little. It didn't hurt or itch, but it made people very uncomfortable.

She wiped her eyes again and took the rabbit: "You can eat it here today. "

"Is it suitable?" Father Li rubbed his hands embarrassedly: "You are married."

"It's okay, my mother-in-law is a good person, and my husband treats me well."

Li Lanlan originally wanted to cry fake to fool her father, but he was so unguarded and eager to give her good things that the fortress of balance in her heart collapsed.

When she brought people into the house, she was busy and took the initiative to mention it casually: "Dad, my husband is going to take the exam soon. I am afraid that there is no man in the family who will miss him. Yesterday, I went to the county to work for others and exchanged two gold jewelry."

Father Li noticed that his daughter was wearing a pair of gold earrings on her ears. He was stunned immediately, "Why buy gold jewelry if you are afraid of being missed? ”

Isn’t this telling people that if they have money, they should come and steal it?

“My husband said that we should put this good thing in the open first, so that people will know that he is capable and dare not offend us. Besides, he has some dealings with an official in the government, which makes people feel a little bit jealous.”

Father Li didn’t understand these things, but he was a straightforward person, and he believed what others said. He nodded and said, “That’s good. I don’t have anything to do. I will come to your in-laws’ house more often in the future. Others will not dare to cause trouble when they see me as a man.”

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, “Son-in-law has spent all the money in the family on gold jewelry, so what will your father-in-law do with the money for medicine in the future? ”

Li Lanlan:???

When did she say that her husband spent all the money in the family on gold jewelry?

Never mind, as long as my father doesn’t cause any trouble.

Li Lanlan thought about it and simply responded: “It’s okay, there is still land at home, we can get through it.”

“Hey, son-in-law is just pretending to be rich. Even if he wants others to know how capable he is, he can’t do this. Let’s do this. If I have money in the future, I will give it to you, and you can get through it first.”

Father Li is so devoted to his daughter that it is hard to imagine that he would starve his daughter to save other people’s children.

Thinking that his son-in-law's family was in such a difficult situation, and he took out all the money in the family to buy gold jewelry for the safety of his relatives, so that people would think he was very capable, he admired him very much.

Then he thought again, his family still had noodles, why did he have to eat at his son-in-law's family, which was already in a difficult situation.

In the future, he had to work harder and farm the land. He not only had to help Widow Zhang, but also had to support his daughter's family.

Thinking that he could save so many people, he felt very relieved.

Father Li stood up and patted the dust on his butt: "I won't eat at your house anymore, Lanlan, just bear with it if life is not easy. As long as you do good things, you will definitely have a better life in the future."

After saying that, he left the Lin family with an expression of "I have a great responsibility".

Li Lanlan looked at her father with a question mark on her face as he left, and didn't follow his train of thought at all.

She hadn't learned to fool people like her husband.

Why did her father seem to have been fooled?

But she didn't do anything.

The eldest daughter-in-law next door just opened the door and saw the back of Li's father leaving. She was thinking about the pair of gold earrings yesterday. She couldn't eat or sleep well. When she finally closed her eyes, she dreamed of Li Lanlan's beautiful face wearing beautiful and small gold earrings dangling in front of her.

She was not an open-minded person. If everyone lived a normal life, it would be fine. As a result, the family was divided. She thought that the family would live a good life from then on, get rid of the burden, and reach the peak of life.

What happened?

The burden reached the peak of life next door, but they worked hard every day, not to mention gold earrings, they couldn't even touch silver earrings.

If it were in the past, the eldest daughter-in-law relied on her mother-in-law's good temper and Lin Shiheng was a scholar who wanted to save face and didn't care about women. Maybe she would have been thick-skinned to ask for earrings, but yesterday she heard Lin Shiheng say that he had connections with the government, and her courage was scared. How could she dare to do anything else?

She was not happy to do nothing but watch Li Lanlan, a sister-in-law who was more than 20 years younger than her, enjoying the good life and wearing gold and silver.

After tossing and turning all night, the first wife finally came up with a good idea.

She went to Li's father and "inadvertently" revealed that Lin Shiheng had money and bought gold earrings and gold bracelets.

At that time, she would not have to do anything at all. Li's father, who was mentally ill, would definitely treat his son-in-law like his daughter-in-law's family.

At that time, she would not offend her third brother, and she could watch the fun and see Li Lanlan, a sister-in-law who should not have lived better than her, suffer.

It was really killing three birds with one stone!

The first wife thought she was very smart and came up with such a good idea. Although she did not sleep well all night and was so sleepy that she was staggering when she walked, she was still excited and went out early in the morning to find Li's father.

As a result, she saw Li's father just left as soon as she opened the door.

What happened?

Is he so well-informed?

Has he already borrowed money?

The first wife was both expectant and anxious. She wanted to rush over to ask whether Father Li had asked. When she saw the earrings still hanging on Li Lanlan's ears, who was busy in the yard, she felt relieved.

The earrings were still there. As long as Father Li was not blind, he would be able to see the gold earrings, right?

If he saw them, how could he not know that the third room had money? If he knew that the third room had money, how could he not ask for money?

The more she thought about it, the more relieved she felt. After dinner, when Boss Lin announced that the family would go out to work, the first wife, who wanted to see the excitement of the third room, covered her stomach and began to pretend to be in pain.

She would not go out. She wanted to stay at home to watch the excitement of 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 did not think that she was pretending to be in pain to make fun of herself, and just thought she was lazy.

How could he have liked such a lazy woman in the first place!

With full of dissatisfaction, he went out with his son and daughter-in-law with a cold face.

It was not that the wife of the first room did not see her husband's dissatisfaction, but she was too determined to see the joke of the third room, so she ignored it directly and waited at home expectantly, looking forward to the third room.

The third room had prepared the meal, and each of them had an egg.

As usual, Lin Shiheng and Li Lanlan ate outside, and Lin's mother brought the meal to the house to eat with Lin's father.

The aroma of the meal drifted to the wife of the first room, and she drooled with greed.

She was lazy at work, and the boss Lin was annoyed. At breakfast today, he specially let his wife eat only half a bowl of porridge. The wife of the first room dared to challenge her mother-in-law but did not dare to anger her husband, so she could only endure it.

And now, her stomach growled with hunger, but she could only watch Lin Shiheng and Li Lanlan eat.

After dinner, perhaps because the family had money, Lin's mother was in a good mood and did not go to the fields so early. Lin Shiheng went into the house to read, while Lin's mother and Li Lanlan sat in the yard doing needlework, laughing from time to time.

The plot of "mother-in-law turning against her daughter-in-law" that the eldest wife was anxiously looking forward to did not appear for a long time.

At noon, the family ate meat. The meat smelled so good that the eldest wife, who had been hungry for the whole morning, almost crawled over the wall.

Until dinner, everything was calm and nothing happened.

What's going on? Impossible?

Could it be that Li Lanlan hid the fact that her father came to borrow money? But wasn't Lin Shiheng there this morning?

The first wife couldn't bear it any longer. While Lin's mother was feeding the pigs, she approached carefully and asked.

"Mom, I saw my third sister-in-law's father come this morning. What is he doing here?"

Lin's mother didn't want to pay attention to her, but thinking about the rabbit meat she had just eaten, she wanted to be greedy for this unfilial daughter-in-law.

Her eyelids drooped: "What else can I do? Thinking about your third sister-in-law, I sent her delicious food. Such a fat rabbit, my father-in-law didn't eat a bite, and brought it all to us. He's not like some people who come back empty-handed every year with big bags and small bags. No wonder they raised an ungrateful person."

This is naturally the first wife. Being poked and called an ungrateful person, the first wife is of course unhappy, but she can't care about being unhappy now, she is just shocked.

They actually came to send a rabbit?

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.

Why was she wasting her breath with such a person? She might as well go to the village to show off the gold bracelet on her wrist according to Shi Heng's words.

Before, the old man had an accident, and Shi Heng always failed the exam. People in the village said all kinds of things. Now she finally found a chance to be proud.

Thinking of this, Mother Lin did not 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 he send her rabbit meat?

The more the eldest daughter-in-law thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was strange.

Li Lanlan was not a peaceful person yesterday, maybe she cheated Li's father.

No, she had to expose her!

Thinking of this, the first wife went out with her slender waist like a bucket, intending to use her eloquence 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?"

Isn't this a wrong reaction?

"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 first wife's head was full of gold jewelry and fish, meat, rabbit eggs. When she heard that Father Li asked her to help the third room, ask her father-in-law for money, and help the third room plant the land, she almost laughed out of anger.

Okay!

I thought he was a fool, but he turned out to be a weasel. How smart! He even pretended to be stupid for his daughter!

She should have known that a father who gave a whole rabbit to his daughter who had already married out could not possibly not love his daughter.

Feeling that she had figured it out, the eldest wife turned around and left with a fierce face, ignoring the kind advice of Li's father.

Li Lanlan is so lucky that she can have such a good father.

Pah! Shit luck!
