Fang Zhu accompanied Lin Jinrong to Rongjing Residence, and reported to her: "Last night, the second master went to see the third master... The third master didn't see the second master, so someone sent a book of filial piety to the second master, through the curtain.
She said he was ashamed and didn't deserve it, so she asked him to serve in front of the eldest master. The second master persuaded him for a time but failed, so he left the doctor to leave. The third wife came out and pulled the second master's clothes, crying, and asked him, why?
If you use money to gain fame for outsiders, you won’t have money to save your own family’s life?”
Lin Jinrong just smiled. Lu Jianzhong was in the middle of the provocation, and Lu Jianxin used his tricks. Only Lu Jianzhong was the most honest, but Lu Mian must have been very sad. Being caught in the middle of so many people, even if he was not in a dilemma, he was still depressed.
Yilang was playing in the yard with Dou'er and Pan. He threw his favorite rubber ball to the ground listlessly. After a long time, he went over and kicked it lazily. Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps and immediately raised his head.
I started to look over, and when I saw it was Lin Jinrong, I gasped in frustration and started sobbing.
Lin Jinrong's heart melted. He quickly stepped forward to pick up Yilang, kissed him several times on the forehead, and coaxed in a low voice: "My baby, mother is here."
Yilang hugged Lin Jinrong's neck tightly and buried his head in her chest, motionless. His tears instantly soaked her collar. Lin Jinrong became a little angry: "Who said anything to him?"
"Hey, you've been kneeling all night, and you're still so energetic?" Lin Yuzhen walked out of the room after hearing the sound, looked Lin Jinrong up and down with a straight face, and said calmly: "I just told him that his father and mother are very busy.
I can't take care of him anymore. He wants to live with me and his grandfather from now on. Ask him if he is willing."
Lin Jinrong suddenly became furious.
Lin Yuzhen glanced at her and said, "It's up to you." After saying that, she led Grandma Fang away.
Dou'er hurriedly said to Lin Jinrong: "The eldest lady asked the fourth young master if he would like it. The fourth young master pretended not to hear it before, so the eldest lady pulled him in front of him and asked him a second time. The fourth young master still didn't say anything and just looked down.
I tried to return the toys my wife gave me, but I didn’t cry. This was the first time. I didn’t sleep well at night and woke up several times.”
Pan said in a low voice: "It's strange to say that such a young child seems to know everything. In the past, grandma would leave because of something, but he was never like this."
Lin Jinrong hugged Yilang tightly in her arms and pressed her face against his forehead. Her heart was instantly turned upside down and she rubbed it dozens of times and tied countless knots. This child is so sensitive and smart, so
If I can't live without her, what should I do in the future?
Aunt Sha came out of the house and said with a smile: "Second Grandma, please come in."
"Okay." Lin Jinrong agreed and was about to let Yilang down. She saw Yilang's little hand around her neck tightened a little tighter, so she patted Yilang's back gently and said softly: "Mom, hold me in your arms."
Yilang, go in together."
Yilang didn't say a word, just pressed against her chest quietly and refused to let go for a moment.
"This child is just like his father." Aunt Sha understood clearly and lowered her voice and said to Lin Jinrong: "Old slave, please say more, Second Grandma, you are too impatient."
Lin Jinrong smiled bitterly and said not much, "Thank you so much, grandma, for rescuing me yesterday."
After Mrs. Lu finished reciting a Buddhist scripture, she stood up holding Su Xin's hand, walked slowly to the couch and sat down, raised her old eyes to look at Lin Jinrong and her son who were thanking her, and said calmly: "I'm looking at this child.
It's pitiful. I can't bear to see their father and son turn against each other."
I had known that I would not get their approval, but it is already very good that Mrs. Lu can do this. Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes and said softly: "Anyway, thank you to the old lady for rescuing my granddaughter-in-law. I will bear it in my heart."
Old Mrs. Lu was noncommittal and remained silent for a long time. Then she suddenly said: "Can the Lu family members receive their dowry in Yizhuang?"
Lin Jinrong smiled quickly and said: "Of course you can. As long as the family is poor and unable to raise dowry, it doesn't matter if your surname is Lu, Lin, or Song."
Mrs. Lu lowered her eyes and turned her rosary beads again. After a long while, she said again: "Two more times, no one can help you. Go down."
Lin Jinrong looked at Aunt Sha and saw that Aunt Sha was smiling and winking at her, so she followed the old lady's thoughts, hugged Yilang, bowed and left.
After she went out, the old lady turned the rosary twice and sighed: "I don't understand these young people anymore."
Aunt Sha smiled apologetically and said: "Old lady, you have reached the age of raising children. Why do you care about their noisy things? Just live and enjoy the happiness."
Old Mrs. Lu was silent for a while, then said: "Yes, it is better to give up than to be reluctant. It is better to do good things than to fall into the sea."
"That's right, a house that does good deeds will always be happy." Aunt Sha pursed her lips and smiled, and helped her stand up: "Come on, let's go out to bask in the sun and take a walk."
Yilang was strong and heavy. Lin Jinrong didn't sleep well all night. He carried him halfway and found that he couldn't walk anymore, so he softly discussed with him: "Yilang is so good, can you come down and walk a few steps by yourself? Mom, mother."
I can’t hold him anymore.”
Yilang raised his head and looked at Lin Jinrong with tears in his eyes. He didn't say anything, but pitifully hugged her neck a little tighter.
She owed him. Lin Jinrong sighed, gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward. Dou'er couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward to persuade Yilang: "Let Dou'er hug you, okay?" Yilang lay on Lin Jinrong's shoulder,
He pursed his lips tightly and glared at Dou'er with clear black and white eyes, looking like "I want you to mind your own business."
Dou'er laughed and pinched his nose.
Lin Jinrong gritted her teeth and lifted Yilang up, sighing: "That's all, who asked me to give birth to him?" Thinking of Yilang's cleverness in returning the toy to Lin Yuzhen, she couldn't help but smile at Yilang.
gave him a kiss on his forehead.
Lu Jian sent Chun Ya away: "Pack up a few gifts and go to tell your wife that we have nothing to do here, so I'll take care of her. In a few days we will take Yilang to kowtow to her."
Chun Ya agreed and withdrew, and then walked to the corridor, where she saw Lin Jinrong carefully carrying Yi Lang in. A smile spread across her face. She was about to say hello to Lin Jinrong, when she saw Lin Jinrong softly "shhh" at her.
, and when he looked again, Yilang was holding Lin Jinrong's shirt tightly with one hand and hanging his other hand, already asleep in Lin Jinrong's arms. So he smiled knowingly and lifted the curtain for Lin Jinrong.
In his sleep, Yi Lang still clutched Lin Jinrong's lapel tightly and refused to let go. Lin Jinrong had no choice but to lie beside him and whisper what happened to Lu Yan.
After listening to the part about Yilang returning Lin Yuzhen's toys, Lu Yan silently touched Yilang's head, stood up and said, "You guys rest, I'll go to my father's place to take care of him."
Lin Jinrong was not polite to him: "I'll come over tonight to replace you."
Lu Jianxin stayed in bed for almost half a month this time, without making any request to Lu Mian and Lin Jinrong. He just let them wait for his illness and did not talk to them. However, Lu Jianxin's illness became worse and worse day by day.
On that day, every time Lu Mian went to see him, he always refused to see him. He took Yi Lang there, and just let them sit in for a while before driving them away.
In the blink of an eye, summer came and Yilang turned 2 years old. Lin Jinrong only made him a bowl of noodles with his own hands and secretly made two new clothes. He did not dare to do anything else. In the early morning, he and Lu Mian took Yilang to give him to his elders.
kowtow.
Lin Jinrong had taught Yilang how to salute a few days in advance, so as soon as Yilang entered the house, he greeted Lu Jianxin and Lin Yuzhen clearly and kowtowed. Although he had short legs, he did everything he had to do.
When they arrived, even Lu Jianxin couldn't fault it. Lin Yuzhen happily hugged Yilang and kissed him. She handed over the clothes and shoes she made by herself, and gave him a purse full of gold ingots. Then she sighed.
: "Ayun's eldest daughter is also over one year old. I heard that Zhou Zhou captured a seal! I don't know when we can see her again."
The original arrangement for Yilang's capture of Zhou was very simple, but Yilang was holding a book in his left hand and a small silver knife in his right hand. He was both civil and military, so Lu Jianxin's expression became a little softer: "If you think about it, let someone go and investigate."
Already."
The atmosphere relaxed, and Lu Yan took the opportunity to say: "Father, the rainy season is coming. My son wants to take people to see the old house. It was built by my eldest brother a few years ago. I'm afraid that the courtyard walls, houses, and granaries will all be damaged."
It’s time for repairs again.”
Lu Jianxin raised his eyebrows and looked at him twice, then asked Lin Yuzhen calmly: "How much money do you have left? Several people from the clan came to borrow money a few days ago, but they haven't paid it back yet." After speaking, he took a sip of tea soup and sighed:
"People only think we are rich!"
Lin Yuzhen lowered her head and said nothing. Everyone knew what Lu Jianxin meant. It meant that since Lin Jinrong donated money so generously to build the charity village, people who borrowed money flocked to him, and he was out of money.
Lu Jianxin continued: "Mei Baoqing, I think it's rare for him to make a comeback! Erlang, have your friends in Beijing replied to your letter? It's not a big problem for us, right? Do we need to take care of it ourselves? If necessary, we should do it in the morning
These are the arrangements. If you don’t have enough money... just ask if anyone wants the land."
Lu Yan stood up and replied: "The letter has not been answered yet. It took a long time to go back and forth on the road. If I want to inquire again, it will definitely take some more time." At this point, he whispered: "Renovation Lao
Parents don't have to worry about the money for the house." This was what he and Lin Jinrong had discussed long ago, and they would pay for it.
Lu Jianxin rolled his eyes and said coldly: "If we don't worry, who will?"
Lu Yan said: "My son and Ah Rong will organize it."
Lu Jianxin sneered: "Am I so lucky? I don't have to use my wife's dowry!"
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and said nothing.
He clearly wanted to, and he spoke in a subtle way, but he showed such an attitude that he wanted them to beg him to accept. Lin Jinrong looked at Lin Yuzhen.
Regarding the matter of renovating the old house, Lin Yuzhen, like Lu Jianxin, held a dispensable attitude, but she regarded this as Lin Jinrong and Lu Mian showing their kindness, so she scolded: "It depends on what you said.
What? It’s so easy to say this again.”
Lu Jianxin snorted and said nothing. But Lu Yan knew what he meant, which was for him and Lin Jinrong to "quietly" get things done, so he was satisfied. However, he didn't care about him and picked one of his own.
On a good day, I took people to the old house and renovated it carefully inside and out.
