Yesterday it was the third update. I’m asking for votes and encouragement.

Lin Jinrong frowned and followed Mother Gong's words: "Who is not afraid of getting into trouble? If it were so easy to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, then all the good people in the world would be good. If you don't care, even if you build the Buddha's golden body ten times, it won't be enough.
To put it bluntly, our family supports so many people, and a person can survive with just a little hand, so why not?"
Mrs. Tao said in a deep voice: "We will talk about the future later."
Mother Gong knew her temper and knew that she couldn't be controlled. She couldn't help but sigh softly, turned around and climbed up the steps of Lin Chang's house, and slammed the door: "Open the door! Open the door!"
After a long time, the closed door slowly opened. The old man and Lin Chang who were guarding the door were holding an angry wind lantern and peeked out from the crack in the door.
Mrs. Tao held Lin Jinrong's hand tightly and said calmly: "Uncle, I just forgot something."
Lin Chang looked shocked, slightly uneasy, and said perfunctorily: "Third brother and sister, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Tao said solemnly: "Sister-in-law has just gone, and you must not have prepared a wet nurse. I have fresh goat's milk and a number of servants. Why not let my third nephew carry her with me, first of all, she will not be hungry."
Take care of the children, and secondly, you can just take care of the funeral arrangements for my sister-in-law, so you don’t have to worry about comforting and taking care of these two children."
A trace of extremely complicated emotions flashed in Lin Chang's eyes, and he was about to decline politely when he heard Lin Jinrong say crisply: "Uncle, please don't refuse and say polite words like whether it's troublesome or not. My grandfather once told us that we
We are clan members, so we should help each other no matter what."
When he heard that Lin Jinrong had moved out of his family's biggest supporter, Mr. Lin, Lin Chang's eyes flickered a few more times, and he said in a deep voice: "I appreciate your kindness, but these two children still have to wake up and bury their mother...
"
"I will send them over tomorrow! As for tonight, one is delirious and the other is weak. They both need to be taken care of. Can you three men do such a thing as taking care of the children? I think you are just a nephew.
The daughter-in-law can manage things, but she has a lot of things to do next. You were not afraid of trouble me earlier, why are you so polite now? But are you afraid that I will snatch your child? Why refuse people thousands of miles away?
?" Once Mr. Tao decided to do something, he became very tyrannical and did not give Lin Chang a chance to refuse. He directly took Lin Jinrong's hand and walked inside, ordering Mother Gong and Chun Ya: "Go, get the third young master and the young master together.
Find the girl."
When Lin Chang heard Mrs. Tao's unreasonable words and thought of the rumored third wife's bad temper, she couldn't help but sigh, hunched over and led Mrs. Tao and others inside: "Thank you so much for your kindness.
, I dare not forget each other easily, but..."
Mrs. Tao interrupted him calmly: "You are not familiar with this place, so it is not easy to organize this funeral. I will leave the Tiehuai family here at your disposal tonight, and I will recruit some people to help you tomorrow.
Think carefully about who you need to notify in the clan, and I will send someone to tell you. This posthumous matter must be properly handled, so that you can behave well in the future."
According to the customs of this dynasty, marriage is about wealth, and lavish burials are common. These two things are the most important in the world. If weddings and funerals cannot be held decently, don’t blame the locals for looking down on them. When you first come here, you really have to hold up your dignity.
Lin Chang let out another long sigh, bowed to Mr. Tao, and whispered to his second son who was standing under the porch: "Go and bring your third brother and sister out. Your third aunt wants to take them over and stay for the night."
Second Young Master Lin was obviously very unhappy. He raised his brows suddenly and hummed to speak. Lin Chang made a cold face and shouted in a deep voice: "Go quickly!"
Second Young Master Lin gritted his teeth, glanced at Mr. Tao and Lin Jinrong in disgust, and walked in with a gloomy face.
Lin Jinrong shook Mrs. Tao's hand and secretly gave her a thumbs up, her eyes full of reverence.
Mrs. Tao was startled, then raised the corners of her lips silently. She dared to offend even Mrs. Lin, so what about Lin Chang? This family fled from the south and came here to join relatives and friends, and their roots were unstable. If they hadn't relied on Mrs. Lin and
Clan, let’s drink the northwest wind. How dare he refuse her kindness forcefully? Other families throw away and drown children, which are all done behind people’s backs, but no one dares to do it blatantly, especially in the Lin family
In such a distinguished family, unless his family doesn't want to see anyone in the future.
Not long after, a young man with blood on his lips, dressed in white and holding the baby tightly in his arms, appeared staggeringly in the corridor. His eyes swept across everyone's bodies, and finally landed on Mr. Tao
He walked back and forth with Lin Jinrong several times, then knelt down heavily.
Lin Chang's expression suddenly became particularly ugly.
Mrs. Tao sighed, stepped forward to help the stubborn young man up, and said softly: "Let's go, your sister must have been hungry for a long time."
The young man stood up and followed Tao and others out of the gate without looking back.
"Sanlang!" Lin Chang caught up from behind and whispered: "You must be sensible and don't cause trouble to your third aunt and fourth sister...I..."
Lin Sanlang didn't seem to hear him at all. He kept walking without stopping until he reached the car. When Mother Gong went to pick up the child in his arms, he didn't say a word. He just stepped aside and held her tightly without letting go.
Tao looked at the baby in his arms and could understand his mood. He sighed softly: "You and Mr. Shui can sit in the car at the back."
Lin Sanlang showed enough respect for her. He bowed slightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Third Madam, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness."
"What's your name?" Mrs. Tao admired the child a little when she heard him call her third wife, instead of calling her aunt like other people in his family. Lin Chang and others got married, it wasn't that they were very close, it was just that
It's a need, but his attitude shows that he doesn't look at the so-called relatives, not as a matter of course to help relatives, but as a true gratitude.
"Lin Shiquan."
Mrs. Tao said: "You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank your fourth sister. To be honest, I was afraid of getting into trouble. She was the one who begged me for it." As soon as she said this, Mother Gong winked at her, meaning
Yes, it's enough to say that Lin Jinrong begged for him. Why did he also say that he was afraid of getting into trouble? Wasn't there not even a trace of favor left?
Tao got on the bus indifferently, it was better to say the ugly things first.
Mother Gong subconsciously looked at Lin Shiquan's expression, but she didn't see any trace of anger or unhappiness on Lin Shiquan's face. He just raised his eyes and looked at Lin Jinrong seriously.
Lin Jinrong was looking carefully at his clan brother with the angry wind lantern on the carriage - he was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a high nose bridge and a circle of light blue hair on his lips. His eyes were not as big as those of Lin Chang and his sons.
Slender, with almond-shaped eyes, and much stronger than her serious cousins...
The two people's eyes met. Lin Shiquan looked away and was about to salute Lin Jinrong. Lin Jinrong stepped aside and said, "Third brother, let's get in the car first. We'll talk about what happened when we get back."
Lin Shiquan lowered his eyelashes, held the child in his arms steady, turned around and got into the car.
The whole journey was silent.
After returning to Zhuangzi, Mrs. Tao was exhausted. When she got out of the car, her whole body was so sore that she could hardly move, but she was still busy arranging the arrangements for Lin Shiquan and her two siblings. Lin Jinrong hurriedly pushed her in: "Mom, go and have a rest, leave everything to me.
I'll do it."
Tao hesitated and said, "Can you do it?"
Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "Isn't there still Mother Gong?" Then he turned around and ordered everyone in an orderly manner: "Go and clean up the Xikuoyuan, boil the fresh goat milk, and ask the kitchen to make something light and delicious." Then he stretched out his hand.
He came to Lin Shiquan and said, "Third brother, you should leave your sister to me. If you are worried, just watch from the sidelines."
Lin Shiquan obediently handed over the child, but it was not for Lin Jinrong, but for Gong's mother.
When Mrs. Tao saw this, she was quite relieved. After telling Mother Gong a few words, she felt relieved and went to rest.
Lin Jinrong came over and took a look. The child had no idea what was going on. He was sleeping soundly. His wrinkled little face was no bigger than a hand, and his sparse brows were tightly knitted together. Lin Jinrong sighed and gestured to this poor little thing.
Lin Shiquan followed her to Dongkuoyuan: "Brother Wong, please stay warm at my place for now."
Lin Shiquan hesitated for a moment, then followed suit.
After only two steps, Miao Ya and Gui Yuan rushed out: "The girl is back..."
"Shh..." Lin Jinrong pointed to the child in her arms and signaled the two of them to be silent.
Guiyuan was extremely surprised. She looked at Lin Shiquan carefully in silence, but Miao Ya shouted out: "Hey, isn't this Young Master Lin? How did you become like this? This is..."
Lychee rolled her eyes at her, and Miao Ya reacted quickly and immediately covered her mouth. Lin Shiquan's lips trembled a few times, but he held it back and did not shed tears. He only whispered: "My mother is gone."
Miao Ya was too frightened to speak. She looked at the child in Lin Jinrong's arms, then at Lin Shiquan, and suddenly hid behind Gui Yuan.
Lin Shiquan said nothing and continued to follow Lin Jinrong inside.
Lin Jinrong watched silently, and had a good impression of this clan brother. He dared to resist his father and brother to save his sister, and when he got here, he could hold back his grief and explain the reason without losing his temper and crying. Although he was not very old, he still
He is also sensible and polite.
The goat milk warmed up quickly, and Mother Gong fed the baby girl goat milk with her own hands. Seeing that the girl fell asleep after eating and drinking enough, Lin Shiquan breathed a sigh of relief, ate the plain noodles cooked in the kitchen, and then stood up and looked at Lin Jinrong.
Chang Yiyi said: "Four girls, logically speaking, you saved my sister's life, so I should be satisfied and should not cause you any more trouble..."
When Mother Gong heard this, she became upset. This child was taking advantage of Mrs. Tao's absence to look for the soft-hearted fourth girl, so she quickly winked at Lin Jinrong, meaning that no matter what Lin Shiquan said, don't accept it first.
Lin Jinrong ignored Mother Gong and continued to listen to Lin Shiquan: "But now we're afraid we won't be able to go back, so we have to shamelessly rely on help from the government to survive. I don't have anything to support my sister, but I can't either.
Let you feed her and me for nothing, I..." He was silent for a moment and whispered: "I am willing to work with your family. I can read and do accounting, but I can also do work in the fields." (To be continued.
