Chapter 370 There is love, but it does not overflow
After Lin Mengyi's funeral, Mrs. Lin Lu came to Lin Wanwan's door with her two daughters-in-law. This time, she didn't say that Lin Wanwan had harmed Lin Mengyi. She just complained about borrowing money.
The real murderer of Lin Mengyi had already paid for Lin Mengyi's death. The fire that night burned so hard that the smell of meat could be smelled in the air.
Lin Wanwan originally thought that they would tie people up and stone them into the sea again, but she didn't expect that they would only crush their bones and scatter their ashes.
Well, if she throws corpses into the sea every day, Lin Wanwan will no longer dare to go to the nearby beach to eat seafood.
July and August are the off-season months for farming. Lin Guo's wealthy family wants to rebuild their house, and the clan members can help with moving rocks.
But you can’t want to eat braised pork when you only have a plate of soy sauce at home.
But Lin Guofu's family really only has one dish of soy sauce.
They would come to him to borrow money, which was something Lin Wanwan had expected for a long time.
At first, their family didn't even have money for Lin Mengyi's coffin. In the end, the family pooled their money to buy it. How could they get any other money to build a house?
But the way Lin Wanwan looked at the other party, it didn't look like she was asking for a loan, it was clear that she was here to ask for money.
Especially Lin Lu's natural expression and her words about being a good granddaughter to Xiao Qingyu made Lin Wanwan very unhappy.
It made her unhappy, how could she still get money from her.
Lin Wanwan asked Xiao Qingyu to take her little followers and the animal army out to play with her friends and not stay here to listen to gossip.
She herself didn't bother to say anything to this old feudal peasant who couldn't read a single Chinese character. She only glanced at Yun Shang, who naturally stepped forward understandingly, saluted Lin Lu and said in a nonchalant manner: "It's not that my wife doesn't want to borrow it.
It’s just that you still owe my wife ten gold for the melon seedlings. It’s always unpleasant to add debt to debt.”
"Ah? The cold melon has been stolen. Besides, my son is dead, why do I still need to pay back the money?" Mrs. Lin Lu was shocked. Doesn't the debt disappear after death?
Yun Shang sneered and said, "Auntie, what you said is funny. Isn't it a natural thing to pay back debts? What I said when I lent the seedlings was to give them to your family on credit. Now that Mr. Meng Zhong is here with you, why don't you have to pay them back?"
Then why don’t we let Chief Lin comment on what should be done?”
As soon as she heard the words Patriarch Lin, Lin Lu's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't control this man. He could make them leave the clan with just one word. How could she dare to go to Patriarch Lin and mess around with him?
"Hehehe, there is no need for the clan leader and brother to come forward. For Wan Niang, this is just a matter of leaking something between her fingers. Besides, we have nothing to do now. The place where we live has been burned down, and the children
We can only squeeze into the hut next to the ancestral hall at night. It’s okay if it doesn’t rain, but what will we do if it rains?”
"That is to say, I have to work hard for Mr. Meng Zhong and the old man in your family to take advantage of the slack farm time to climb more mountains to get some stones and build the house as soon as possible.
At this time of year, hurricanes are here to come, and we can’t afford to delay them. Auntie, instead of chatting with us here, why don’t you go back quickly and make some more fishing nets in exchange for money.”
Yun Shang's earnest words made Mrs. Lin Lu so angry that her chest heaved.
Lin Wanwan was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch beside her, looking at her neatly manicured nails and saying nothing.
Those children were indeed pitiful, but what Lin Guofu and his wife did was also disgusting.
Why do they think she is such an easy person to handle?
Borrowing money is a matter of course. No matter how much money you have, it's not yours. What do you have to worry about?
Lin Wanwan was already very angry when they blamed Lin Mengyi's death on her. With this white-eyed wolf logic, it was just fine that she didn't add insult to injury for them. It was impossible to take extra care of them.
In the end, Lin Lu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law failed to borrow a penny from Lin Wanwan. Instead, they were almost forced by Yun Shang to put their fingerprints on the ten-jin Hanguamiao IOU. They were so frightened that they fled quickly. Saying such
Big things naturally require men to sign.
Lin Lu's eldest daughter-in-law, Gong, has always been quiet. This time she came to borrow money, but her mother-in-law forced her to come, but she
From the moment she stepped into Lin Wanwan's courtyard, she kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word.
As for the youngest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin Sun, who was almost driven back to her parents' home before, she naturally did not dare to chatter anymore. She lost her confidence and began to become taciturn.
The Lin Sun family was able to stay thanks to the words of Patriarch Lin, saying that the three children had lost their father and could not live without their mother. Otherwise, would the old couple still have to raise the three children themselves? Or would they leave the three children to the uncle?
One family?
Although Lin Mengzhong is naive, he is not stupid. Now he has an elder and a younger one, and he is the only strong worker in the whole family. How can he have three more oil bottles!
Although the two nephews want to pass on their family's incense, they are not of their own blood after all. It is better to love your daughter than to love your nephew!
My daughter is my own daughter!
He doesn't worry about no one offering incense to him in the future. Anyway, as long as he can grow old safely and be buried in his ancestral graves with his memorial tablet in the ancestral hall, even if no one comes to his grave, there are still relatives who want to open ancestral halls collectively on Qingming Festival and New Year's Eve.
If he worships once, he will not really be short of incense.
The eldest girl in his family is now the team leader in the school, and she often gets rewarded with cakes. Maybe she can be successful in the future, marry a good husband, and let her father-in-law drink a few more bowls of son-in-law wine!
No matter how poor Ms. Sun is, she can always weave a fishing net or sit at home and weave linen. She can also exchange some money, barely make a living, and raise her own three children.
As the uncle, it was okay for him to help out, but he couldn't bear all the burden. So he and his wife tried their best to plead for their sister-in-law so that she could stay in Linjiazhuang.
The old couple was originally partial to their youngest son and eldest grandson. Now that the younger son is gone, but the eldest grandson is still there, they think this is indeed the case. They cannot leave the eldest grandson without a father and a mother.
Then she endured her anger and left Mrs. Lin Sun behind, but from now on, beatings and scoldings were commonplace, and she was only given rare meals.
When it comes to eating, their whole family is miserable, and so are their children. Recently, they only have to eat a meal in school, and they have nothing to eat in the morning and evening.
The pile of food snatched from the fire scene was now all in the hands of Lin Lu.
There was no family separation, so the Lin Lu family was in charge of the family's money. Now that the family is broken up, the old couple has to hold on to their food rations even more.
Lin Mengzhong's two daughters were protected by their parents, and they could sneak a bite at night. Mrs. Sun couldn't even eat enough for herself, so how could she take care of her children.
Lin Wanwan had already privately told Lin Qian, the cook in the school kitchen, to prepare more meals for the children of this family. But these were done secretly, and Lin Wanwan would not help openly.
No one said that Lin Qianshi was also very good, and the other cooks only thought she was pitiful for the children.
Lin Wanwan just wants everyone to look at it. It doesn't mean that you are poor or miserable. It has nothing to do with me whether you have a house to live in or food to eat. I am willing to help you out of love. If I don't want to help you, no one will
