Here comes the second update, an additional update for Pink 500. Thank you all.
——*——*——*——
Lin Jinyin took advantage of Mrs. Tao and Lin Jinrong to freshen up, and reported the situation at home to Mrs. Tao in a low voice: "A few days ago, there was something wrong with the second aunt's management. Grandpa spoke, and the eldest aunt came out to take charge. When the account was handed over,
The two aunts had a bad fight in front of my grandmother, and they still haven't reconciled. They can barely talk in front of others, and they don't say anything behind their backs."
Mr. Tao was surprised and very happy: "There's something wrong with the account? What a shame! This is such a big deal, but your grandmother didn't say anything? Just forget it?"
Lin Jinyin whispered: "Didn't the price of silver increase in spring? The second aunt opened a silver shop with others and made a lot of money..." Then she whispered in Tao's ear: "I heard that she
Privately, he exchanged gold and copper coins for the public cash and sold them in shops outside, leaving only a small amount of silver to show off. After the incident was revealed, my grandfather asked my eldest aunt to calculate how much money had been embezzled.
, and asked the second aunt to bring out the amount according to the price when the silver price was at its highest. The second aunt said it was only ten thousand taels, and the eldest aunt said they had moved twenty thousand taels. The two refused to give in and started to quarrel in front of my grandmother. I was still the first
I found out once that the eldest aunt had such a fierce quarrel. In the end, my grandmother compromised and asked the second aunt to make up the difference of fifteen thousand taels."
"She is so fat and courageous! She really thinks of herself as the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, and can cover the sky with one hand. She has only been a housekeeper for a few days, and she can't wait to show such an ugly eating look. She is slapping your grandmother in the face." Tao laughed.
Ji: "She racked her brains and worked hard for a long time, but she gave Gongzhong three to four thousand taels of silver for nothing. She must hate your eldest aunt to the core."
Lin Jinyin said with a smile: "My eldest aunt still hates her for earning thousands of taels of silver. She also hates my grandmother for being partial. She always keeps a straight face in front of my grandmother. My grandmother doesn't care too much, but she is just rude to my second aunt.
Face. At this time, Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister have not dared to approach Grandma."
Hearing such a funny thing as soon as he got home, Mrs. Tao laughed so much that she clapped her hands and said: "Your grandmother has shielded your second aunt, and she feels guilty, so she can't argue with your eldest aunt. This slap is good, she deserves it."
Well, you deserve it! Although people like me are not lovable, I really can't do such a shameful thing."
When he left, the first house was disappointed and the second house was proud. When he came, the second house was disgraced and the first house was proud. In the past six months, the situation at home had changed again. Lin Jinrong listened silently and chuckled: "If only my second aunt could come here like this every year
, I think my eldest aunt will be much more relaxed when it comes to monthly payments and holidays, and our family won’t have to save so much.”
"You..." The more Tao thought about it, the funnier he became. He inserted a festive red coral hairpin into his hair and said with flying eyebrows: "Let's go and say hello to the old lady."
Lin Jinrong took Lin Shenzhi's hand and went to Heletang with Mrs. Tao.
The He Le Hall was still the same, with the same number of girls and women, the air was filled with the same fragrance of sandalwood, and there were fresh flowers in the copper vase. Only the cushions and chairs were much older than before.
Old Mrs. Lin had just gotten up from her lunch break and was not very energetic yet. She was half leaning on the couch drinking tea to refresh herself. Seeing Mrs. Tao and others come in to say hello, a smile that could not be called happy or unhappy appeared on her face: "Sit down.
Are you all recovered? Just take good care of yourself and live a good life in the future. The four girls have grown taller and their faces are quite good." As he spoke, he opened his arms towards Lin Shenzhi and said: "Little Seventh, come to grandma's place.
, your grandfather gave you leave?"
Lin Shenzhi glanced at Mr. Tao reluctantly, stepped forward and leaned next to Mrs. Lin, and said with a smile: "Yes, my grandfather knew that my mother was coming back today, and he said that he can control people but cannot control their hearts, so why not let me go? He also
It’s pure, and I’m happy too.”
Mrs. Lin grabbed two plums and handed them over, touched the top of his head, and warned: "Listen carefully to your grandfather's words, study well, and glorify your ancestors in the future."
Lin Jinrong looked at Old Mrs. Lin from the side, and she seemed to be much more affectionate with Lin Shenzhi than before. She knew that this was because Lin Shenzhi stayed with Old Mrs. Lin and studied well, so she was very happy and said to Lin
Jinyin winked, and the two sisters smiled knowingly, both of them feeling somewhat proud.
After Mrs. Lin coaxed her grandson, she raised her eyes and asked Mrs. Tao: "I heard your brother is here?"
Her mother-in-law's family always comes here, which is a bit unsightly. Mrs. Tao originally knew that Luo Shi had made a fool of herself and was quite gloating about it. Hearing this question, she had to explain quickly: "Yes, he is out to pay respects to his father-in-law at the moment, and he is afraid that he will have to pay homage to his father-in-law later."
I came here to pay my respects to my mother-in-law. My daughter is not young, so she should prepare some things. There is a shopping mall in Cheongju, and things are much cheaper, so I asked my sister-in-law to help me buy some wood, furs and spices. He happened to come to Pingzhou for something.
I sent it."
Mrs. Lin drooped her eyelids and said, "Your brother is not young anymore. It's really hard to run back and forth all the time. You have to treat him well. You have to provide snacks for accommodation and food."
If she hadn't failed to live up to expectations and always had troubles, Tao Shunqin wouldn't have had to run back and forth all the time. Tao's face was rarely beaten and warmed up, and he whispered: "Yes."
Mrs. Lin added: "Speaking of preparing a dowry for the fourth girl, I wanted to ask you a long time ago. Have you prepared all the things for the third girl? You have always lived in Zhuangzi, so it's hard for me to ask.
I can't feel at ease if I keep this matter in my journal every day."
"It has been prepared a long time ago." Talking about this, Tao became a little more excited: "After the luggage is properly put away, I will take some time to count the things again and make up for what needs to be added.
, absolutely nothing will go wrong.”
"You are my own flesh and blood, and you are the eldest daughter. I am naturally relieved, but I am afraid of omissions." Mrs. Lin reached out to take out the tea cup and took a slow sip of tea: "On the other hand, that child Yizhi, I remember a full ten years ago.
Four years old, right? I wonder if you have a suitable family in your heart? If you settle his affairs as soon as possible, it will be easier to settle the affairs of the fourth girl."
Mrs. Tao's good mood was suddenly wiped out by this series of non-stop beatings. She puffed up her air slightly and said sadly: "Isn't my wife in front of me always sick? It's not easy to find people in the countryside. This time I have to ask questions."
When you are free, find someone to ask. Whether it is Pingzhou or Qingzhou, you must choose someone with a suitable family background, appearance, and character."
"Yes." Mrs. Lin said earnestly and sincerely: "If you sincerely plan for him, he will never miss you in the future."
She said this as if she couldn't be harsh on Lin Yizhi. She hasn't been here for more than half a year, so she can't be harsh even if she wants to be, right? This old witch clearly saw her happy and deliberately made her uncomfortable. Tao's face
It suddenly darkened, and I barely managed to hold back from speaking.
Lin Jinrong and Lin Jinyin saw that Mrs. Lin was deliberately running against Mr. Tao. Mr. Tao was not happy. Although he was unhappy, it was not easy to interrupt. Who told Mrs. Lin that everything she said was serious?
Seeing that Mrs. Tao was no longer as high-spirited as when she first came in, Old Mrs. Lin was gloating about her misfortune. She stopped tapping with satisfaction and turned to ask: "I heard that in the spring, Lu Mian went to study with Mr. Zhu and stayed in the mountains.
I fell into the water and was rescued by the boy from your village? What happened? "
Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Tao finally found a reason to vent her anger and said angrily: "Mother-in-law, I'm still angry when I talk about this matter..."
Lin Jinrong glanced at Old Mrs. Lin quickly, but seeing that Old Mrs. Lin was not unhappy and didn't want to hear Mr. Tao's complaint, she secretly guessed that Old Mrs. Lin probably knew the truth a long time ago and was just deliberately leading Mr. Tao to say it again.
That's all, just don't care, just lower your eyes and listen.
"I mean well, but my aunt thinks that I have delayed the child's studies. Do you want me to drive the child away and not allow him to live in the village? Who can do such a thing? Besides, he doesn't work every day.
He immediately went to Mr. Zhu's place, where are the delays?" Tao Barabala said again and concluded: "It is really difficult to have such relatives! I have never seen such an unreasonable person."
Mrs. Lin had been listening silently before. When she heard her last comment, her face was inevitably a little ugly, but she endured it and hummed: "You misunderstood, Yuzhen didn't mean that. You know her situation."
, she also had difficulties that she couldn't express in her heart. Lu Mian was not sensible, and the people below her couldn't handle things either. She even told me that day that she would apologize to you when she saw you. Our mother-in-law's family should not have any relationship with her.
You’re worrying too much, don’t take it to heart anymore, the fourth girl was not sensible earlier, didn’t she say nothing?”
Go to hell with these words! It’s nothing more than a mother-in-law trying to cover up Lin Yuzhen’s inappropriate behavior. Tao knew it very well, but because Mrs. Lin hit and squeezed her head so hard, she almost didn’t fight back.
Later, Mrs. Lin mentioned Lin Jinrong again and had to reluctantly hum in response.
Old Mrs. Lin just hummed, let the matter go, and asked them to go back and rest: "It's been a long journey and it's hard work. Let's go down and rest. The whole family has not been reunited for a long time. I told your sister-in-law
, I will hold a family dinner for you in the evening. The men are eating and drinking outside, and we women and children are eating and drinking inside, and they are all playing freely." He then looked at Lin Jinyin gently and said: "The third girl will leave the court soon, so
The days are getting shorter and shorter every day, and there are fewer and fewer children left by my side. I really can’t bear to leave them.”
The unhappiness in Tao's heart immediately dissipated, and turned into a bit sad.
Lin Jinyin hurriedly smiled and said: "Grandma, don't be sad. Aren't there other brothers and sisters who will accompany you when I leave? A few years later, the brothers got married and the family became prosperous. I was afraid that grandma would be annoyed again.
"
When Lin Jinrong saw this, she really felt that Old Mrs. Lin was really powerful. She was beaten, pressed and pulled, and all of them mothers should learn from Old Mrs. Lin. What is the biggest shortcoming of Old Mrs. Lin?
It's just that you are too protective of the people you like, otherwise Lin Yuzhen and Luo Shi wouldn't have reached this point.
Just as she was thinking about it, she was called. Mrs. Lin stared at her with a pair of old eyes: "Fourth girl, when you grow up, why are you still like a boring gourd? Spend more time with your sister when you have nothing to do, and learn from your sister.
, who wouldn’t love to hear a few more nice and soft words?” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) (
