No one likes a hen that can't lay eggs, and the daughter-in-law who can't give birth is also disliked. Lin Jinrong instantly understood where the dissatisfaction between Lin Yuzhen and Tu came from, which had been silent for a long time but happened at the same time. Even
Even Guiyuan around her had such thoughts because Mr. Shui treated her, let alone others?
Being able to go back to her parents' home to seek medical treatment and recuperate her body, and to go to Pingji Temple to beg for a child, were all the benefits and compensation she received after working hard at home, and they were also the dignity given to her by Old Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu. However, it did not mean that she was eager to have a grandchild.
Lin Yuzhen and the Tu family are waiting. What Lin Yuzhen needs most is a child born from the union of the Lin family's daughter and Lu Yan, to continue the eldest family's bloodline and consolidate the eldest family's status; and the Tu family also hopes that Lu Yan can have a baby as soon as possible
Of course, Tu's mood was different from Lin Yuzhen's. Tu only wanted Lu Mian to have a son and didn't care who gave birth to the son.
Lin Jinrong had long thought of this situation and was prepared for it. Everything would come with a price. Just like her original anti-marriage behavior would later become a thorn in Lu Yan's heart and a weapon for others to criticize her. She refused to give up.
The child who might die tragically would also become a reason and a weapon for others to deal with her. She thought that since many things had changed, maybe the day for Lu Mian to take a concubine would come earlier. Others couldn't wait long.
.
With a smile on her face, Lin Jinrong lowered her head and quietly ate the mutton that Lin Yuzhen brought over. When Lin Yuzhen wanted to serve her some more vegetables, she politely said that she was taking Chinese medicine and had too many taboos.
She declined. Lin Yuzhen didn't do anything else and just let her go.
After the banquet was over, Lu Yan and Mrs. Lu were bowing and saying goodbye. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he always felt that Mrs. Lu's eyes were always lingering on him and Lin Jinrong, and his eyes were quite melancholy.
Lu Yan put down the book in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Lin Jinrong, who was combing her hair in front of the photo booth. He felt that she was particularly silent tonight and did not have the excitement she should have when her plan was first formed. The candlelight made her long black hair look demure.
The eyebrows, eyes, and snow-white skin were covered with a layer of light and shadow, making them hazy and unclear.
"Do you think grandpa knows?" Lu Yan walked to the photo booth, hugged Lin Jinrong gently from behind, and looked up at him and her in the mirror. Sometimes he felt that he was very close to her, but when
When two people were skin-to-skin and it was hard to tell the difference between you and me, especially when Lin Jinrong shouted "Erlang" hoarsely in his ear, he felt that he was so close to her. But sometimes, he felt that he was far away.
She is really far away. This is a keen feeling that comes from nature. Just like at this moment, she is close in front of you, within reach, but out of reach.
"I don't know, but I think that even if he knows, he can't blame you. If the second uncle and the eldest brother are neither greedy nor evil and want to harm you, how could they automatically fall into the trap?" Lin Jinrong also raised his eyes and looked in the mirror.
She and him. In the mirror, the hair of the two people was tangled, their breaths were intertwined, they were the same people, in the same scene, but their moods were completely different. After learning about her past, she always thought of her past more and more in her spare time.
This is not a good phenomenon - it is just repeated self-torture. But every time she refuses to think about it, she always remembers it suddenly. Sometimes she can even remember clearly an expression or a sentence at that time.
Chu.
Lu Yan placed a passionate kiss on her ear and corrected her seriously: "It's us, not just me."
Lin Jinrong raised the corners of her lips and whispered: "We."
Lu Yan could clearly feel the change in her voice. After being married for nearly a year, they were relatively familiar with each other's bodies and reactions. His mouth felt dry for a moment, and the hand on Lin Jinrong's shoulder became stronger.
After a while, what he said was still serious: "Ah Rong, do you plan to be a householder or open a woolen weaving workshop in the future?"
Lin Jinrong sat still and said softly: "It's too early now, let's talk about it later." At this moment, no one except her will know what the final outcome of this matter will be. This can be regarded as the benefit of rebirth.
A flash of light.
Lu Yan stopped talking. He leaned down and picked up Lin Jinrong and walked towards the bed. Lin Jinrong nestled in his arms and looked at him gently with a smile. Lu Yan's face was red, and his eyes became darker.
His breath was also disordered, and Lin Jinrong just watched his movements with a smile. When he was ready to go and was about to achieve success, Lin Jinrong stood up and said with extreme apologies: "I'm sorry, Erlang, the old gentleman said, I will
People who have been taking medicine for months must not have sex. Why did I forget about this just now?"
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, stared at her blankly for a moment, then burst out laughing, and without stopping, lowered his voice and said, "You little bad guy, how dare you coax me."
Lin Jinrong bent her feet and stepped on him, not allowing him to get close, and smiled slightly: "If you don't believe it, just come. Anyway, the body is mine, not yours. It's me who is suffering, not you."
Lu Yan looked at her carefully for a moment, and was convinced that it was true. He gritted his teeth, turned over and sat up, and said dullly: "What kind of medicine did he give you to be so overbearing?"
Lin Jinrong wrapped the quilt tightly and looked at him calmly: "The medicine to cure the disease. If it can't be cured, I probably won't have any children in this life."
Lu Yan saw some unconcealed unkindness in her eyes, so he stopped asking, sat on the head of the bed for a moment, slowly lay down, then lay quietly next to her for another moment, then stood up suddenly and said: "
I'll sleep next door."
Lin Jinrong just smiled and asked the girls to go to the charcoal basin to make the bed. When Lu Yan left the door, he stopped the smile on his face, looked at the pattern on the tent ceiling and thought silently, is it longan this time? Who is the Lu family this time?
Should I tell her clearly and let her make the decision, and go through the clear path, or should I continue like before, sneaking in and striking first?
In fact, she also understood at that time that she and Lu Jian were strangers, and their only son had died. The Lu family considered it for the sake of their heirs, and letting Lu Jian take over the house or take in concubines was a normal behavior for ordinary people after encountering this kind of situation.
, don’t say that she has no way to refute or fight, even the Lin family is in the wrong, no one will stand up for her. But they don’t bother to give her some face, they do it first and then inform her, she is willing to do it or not.
Accept it, either Guiyuan, or someone else. Maybe they also think that Guiyuan is someone close to her, or they have thought carefully about it for her.
How could she live like that? She was obviously not angry and humiliated, but she was so cowardly that she didn't even dare to shout, so she just swallowed it all. She pretended not to care and kept silent, thinking that she had saved her dignity.
Knowing that the forced respectability is in the eyes of others, isn't it just like Lu Yun's forced smile now, which is a joke?
Lin Jinrong sat up, took out the bunch of keys from the pillow case, and rubbed them gently. The polished brass keys were like a small mirror, reflecting a woman with disheveled hair and a blurry face. Lin Jinrong looked at that
The woman's eyes gradually became blank.
The next day was a cloudy day. Lin Yuzhen felt restless when she got up early. Just after breakfast, she asked Lu Mian: "Go and pick up Mr. Shui."
Lu Yan hurriedly agreed and left without mentioning it.
When Lin Yuzhen saw him leaving, she turned back and looked at Lin Jinrong: "Although you are still energetic, you are still thin, so you still need to eat more. I heard that you have to take medicine for two months in a row? How is your health?
, Mr. Shui, can you tell me in detail?"
Lin Yuzhen's expression was very serious, her eyes were cold and the corners of her lips were slightly drooped. It was a harsh face that she had not seen for a long time, and it was not easy to deal with it. Lin Jinrong carefully considered his words: "I have to take medicine for two months. Shui Lao
The husband told the second master at that time, saying that he was depressed and overworked, so he just needed to take care of him."
"Since you got married, you have indeed had a lot of big things and small things, and you have been overworked." Lin Yuzhen looked at her for a moment without blinking, and said: "You are my biological niece, and I definitely did not deliberately embarrass you.
I mean. But you have to live up to your expectations."
Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes: "Yes."
Grandma Fang said cautiously: "Madam, Second Grandma, the ladies in charge came back and got the right cards."
"Ask them to come in." Lin Yuzhen replied loudly, then looked back at Lin Jinrong: "Since you want to take care of yourself, I told your grandparents that it would be better to act as if you were not at home, and you would be there to help.
I don't want to tire you."
In fact, Lin Yuzhen had excluded the Tu family. She really wanted to make Lin Jinrong feel more relaxed, but her intention to hold on to power was clearer. Lin Jinrong did not fight with Lin Yuzhen, but only smiled: "Thank you, aunt, for being considerate of me."
." She dare not say that she has established a firm foothold now. At the very least, no one can step on it casually. Anyone can be in charge of the family, but it cannot be the Song family or the Lu family. As for whether Lin Yuzhen's family is good or not,
That's not something that a little daughter-in-law like her should worry about. That's something that Old Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu should worry about.
Seeing that she didn't argue, Lin Yuzhen's attitude became a little better: "I was always in charge of the family back then, and I didn't let go until I took Erlang to Jiangnan."
Lin Jinrong sighed softly: "I sometimes think that it's not easy for my aunt."
Lin Yuzhen's eye circles suddenly turned red, and she immediately held it back, straightened her back, and said calmly: "I'm fine."
Lin Jinrong stopped talking and cheered up to help with the housework. Lin Yuzhen's attitude towards Lin Jinrong was no longer the same as before. In the past, everything she said was objectionable, but now she is willing to listen more. This is right.
Yes, the overtures of the weak are often not taken seriously by others, but the overtures of the strong are easily taken seriously.
As the new year approaches, there are a lot of things going on. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are so busy that they have almost no time to spare. It was Grandma Fang who went to remind: "Mr. Shui is here."
Lin Yuzhen then dropped what she was doing and told Lin Jinrong: "You get busy first, I'll be back as soon as I go."
Lin Jinrong said hurriedly: "My wife should be waiting by the side..."
Lin Yuzhen waved her hand: "I have Erlang here. You are doing things here to share my worries." After saying this, she hurried away as if she was afraid that Lin Jinrong would follow.
