Chapter 75 Name
Lin Jinyin took advantage of Tao and Lin Jinrong to report the situation of the family to Tao in a low voice: "A few days ago, there was something wrong with the second aunt's house. My grandfather spoke, and my aunt came out to be in charge. When paying the bill, the two aunts were unhappy in front of their grandmother, and they haven't made up yet. He reluctantly pulls the corners of his mouth in front of people and doesn't say anything behind his back.
Dow was surprised and happy: "Is there something wrong with the account? What a shame! This is a big deal. Didn't your grandmother say anything? That's it?"
Lin Jinyin whispered, "Isn't the price increase of silver in spring? The second aunt and her partnered to open a silver shop outside and made a lot of money..." Then she whispered in Tao's ear, "I heard that she privately exchanged gold and copper money for cash in the public, and took it to the outside shop to sell it, leaving only a little silver to pretend. After the matter was found out, the grandfather asked his aunt to figure out how much money had been moved, and let the second aunt take it out according to the highest price of silver. The second aunt said that it was only 10,000 taels, and the eldest aunt said that it had moved 20,000 taels. The two of them did not give in to each other and quarreled in front of their grandmother. It's the first time I know that my aunt quarreled so badly. In the end, the grandmother compromised and asked the second aunt to make up the difference of 15,000 taels.
"She is so fat and bold! If you really regard yourself as a housekeeper's daughter-in-law, you can cover the sky with one hand. It's only been a few days for the housekeeper, and he can't wait to show such an ugly look, hitting your grandmother in the face. Tao was extremely funny: "She racked her brains and worked hard for a long time, but she gave three or four thousand taels of silver to Gongzhong for nothing. She must have hated your aunt." Lin Jinyin laughed and said, "My aunt still hates her for making thousands of taels of silver. He also hated his grandmother's partiality, and he often kept a straight face in front of his grandmother. Grandma didn't care too much, but looked at her second aunt again. In this way, the sixth sister and the seventh sister did not dare to come to their grandmother.
As soon as he got home, he heard such a funny thing. Tao laughed and stroked his palm and said, "Your grandmother has shielded your second aunt. She feels ashamed and can't argue with your aunt. This slap is good. You deserve it! Although I'm not likeable, I really can't do this kind of thing.
When I left, the big room was frustrated, and the second room was proud. When I came, the second room was ugly, and the big room was proud. In the past six months, the situation at home has turned upside down again. Lin Jinrong listened silently and said with a smile, "If my second aunt comes like this every year, I think my aunt will be much more cheerful when I pay the monthly money and the Spring Festival, and our family doesn't have to save so much."
"You..." The more Tao thought about it, the more funny it was. He inserted a festive red coral hairpin into his temples and said with his eyebrows, "Let's go and say hi to the old lady."
Lin Jinrong took Lin Shenzhi's hand and went to the Hele Hall with Tao.
The music hall is still the same, and the maids are still the same. The air is filled with the unchanging smell of sandalwood. There are fresh flowers in the copper bottle, and only the cushion and chair are much older than before.
As soon as Mrs. Lin got up from her lunch break, she didn't have much energy. She drank tea on the bed to refresh herself. Seeing that Tao and others came in to say hi, there was a smile on his face that was neither happy nor happy: "Sit down. Are you all healed? As long as you take good care of yourself, and live a good life in the future. The fourth girl has grown taller and looks good. As he spoke, he opened his arms to Lin Shenzhi and said, "Little Laoqi came to your grandmother. Did your grandfather give you a vacation?" Lin Shenzhi looked at the Tao reluctantly, stepped forward and leaned against Mrs. Lin. He smiled and said, "Yes, my grandfather knew that my mother came back today. He said that he could control people and couldn't control his heart. It's better to let me go. He is also clean, and I'm happy."
Mrs. Lin grabbed two plums and handed them over, touched the top of his head, and told him, "Listen to your grandfather's words, study hard, and show off your ancestors in the future."
Lin Jinrong looked at Mrs. Lin like this. Lin Shenzhi seemed to be much more intimate than before. He knew that this was because Lin Shenzhi followed Mr. Lin and read well, so he was very happy. He squeezed his eyes to Lin Jinyin. The two sisters smiled, and both of whom had a sense of glory.
Mrs. Lin coaxed her grandson, and Fang raised her eyelids and asked Tao, "I heard that your brother is here?"
My mother's family always runs here, which is not very good-looking. Tao had known that Luo was a little gloating for making a fool of himself. Hearing this question, he had to explain quickly: "Yes, he is going out to greet his father-in-law now, and he is afraid that he will come to greet his mother-in-law later. The child is not young, and there are some things to be prepared. There was a scene in Qingzhou, and things were much cheaper, so I asked my sister-in-law to help me buy some wood, fur and incense. He happened to come to Pingzhou and sent it to me by the way.
Mrs. Lin drooped her eyelids and said, "Your brother is not young. It's really hard to run back and forth all the time. You should treat him well. All meals in the accommodation should be served with snacks.
If it hadn't been for her failure and always had an accident, Tao Shunqin certainly wouldn't have to run back and forth all the time. Dow's face was rarely beaten hotly, and he whispered, "Yes."
Mrs. Lin said again, "Speaking about preparing makeup for the fourth girl, I would have asked you earlier. Have you prepared everything for the third girl? You have always lived in Zhuangzi, and it's not easy for me to ask. I can't feel at ease when I have this matter in my diary.
"It has been ready for a long time." Speaking of this, Tao added a little more excitement: "When the luggage is put in place, I will take some time to count the things again. If I should make up for it, there will never be anything in the way."
"Your flesh and blood are also the eldest daughter. Naturally, I can rest assured that I'm afraid of omissions." Mrs. Lin took the tea cup and took a sip of the tea slowly: "That's the same child. I remember being 14 years old this year, right? I don't know if you have the right person in your heart? You can decide his business as soon as possible, so that you can decide the fourth girl's business.
Dow's good mood was suddenly squeezed out of trace by this series of non-stop beatings. He puffed up slightly and said, "Isn't the front daughter-in-law always sick? It's not easy to ask someone in the countryside. If you are free this time, find someone to ask. No one, whether it is Pingzhou or Qingzhou, you have to choose a suitable family and character for him.
"Hmm." Mrs. Lin said earnestly, "You really plan for him. He won't miss you in the future."
This is like how harsh she is. She hasn't been here for more than half a year, and she can't be harsh, right? The old witch obviously saw that she was happy and deliberately made her uncomfortable. Dow's face suddenly darkened and she reluctantly couldn't speak.
Lin Jinrong and Lin Jinyin saw that Mrs. Lin deliberately squeezed Tao. Tao was unhappy. Although he was not happy, it was not easy to break in. Who told Mrs. Lin that everything was business? Seeing that Mrs. Tao was no longer in high spirits and gloating when she first came in, she stopped tapping with satisfaction and asked, "I heard that in spring, Lu Yan went to Mr. Zhu's place to study. He fell into the water in the mountains and was saved by the boy in your village?" What's going on?"
Speaking of this, Dow finally found a reason to pour out and said angrily, "Mother-in-law, I'm still angry when talking about this..."
Lin Jinrong took a quick look at Mrs. Lin, but when he saw that Mrs. Lin was not unhappy and didn't want to listen to Mrs. Dow's complaint, he guessed that Mrs. Lin probably knew the truth for a long time. At this moment, she was just deliberately leading Mrs. Tao to say it, so she didn't care and
"I'm kind-hearted, but my aunt feels 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 did such a thing? Besides, he goes to Mr. Zhu before dawn every day. What's the delay? Dow said again and concluded, "Such a relative is really difficult to do! I've never seen such unreasonable.
Mrs. Lin listened silently before. Hearing her last comment, her face was inevitably a little ugly, but she also endured it and hummed, "You misunderstood. Yuzhen didn't mean that. You know her situation, and she also had difficulties in her heart to say it. Lu Yan was ignorant, and the people below would not do anything. She also told me that day that she wanted to make amends to you when she saw you. Our mother's family should not care too much about her. Don't worry about it. The fourth girl was ignorant earlier, and she didn't say anything?
Go to hell with these words! It's nothing more than being a mother to protect her shortcomings and trying to cover up Lin Yuzhen's inappropriate behavior. Tao understood it very well, but because he was beaten and squeezed too fiercely by Mrs. Lin in front of him, he had little power to fight back. Later, Mrs. Lin mentioned Lin Jinrong again and had to reluctantly hum to answer.
Mrs. Lin also hummed twice, let go of this matter, and let them go back to rest: "It's been a half-day's journey, and it's hard work. Go down and have a rest. The family has not been reunited for a long time. I have told your sister-in-law to hold a family banquet for you in the evening. Their men eat and drink outside, and we women and children eat and drink inside and let go of the game. He looked at Lin Jinyin gently and said, "The third girl is also about to leave the cabinet. Such a day is one day less, and there are fewer and fewer children around. I really can't bear it."
Dow's unhappiness suddenly dissipated and became a little sad.
Lin Jinyin smiled quickly and said, "Grandma, don't be sad. I'm leaving. Aren't there other brothers and sisters with you? After a few years, the younger brothers got married, and the family was prosperous. I'm afraid that my grandmother would be annoyed again.
When Lin Jinrong saw this, he really felt that Mrs. Lin was really awesome. They beat, suppress and pull, and their mothers should learn from Mrs. Lin. The biggest shortcoming of Mrs. Lin is that she is too protective of the people she likes, otherwise Lin Yuzhen and Luo Shi would not have reached this point. Just thinking about it, I was named. Mrs. Lin stared at her with a pair of old eyes: "Fourth girl, when you grow up, why are you still like a stuffy gourd? If you have nothing to do, spend more time with your sister, learn from your sister, and say more nice and soft words. Who doesn't like to listen to?
