Chapter 41 Mother and Daughter
Second watch. O(∩_∩)O~
###################################
After dinner, the younger Lin Fanghou, Lin Fangnian and Lin Fangfu originally planned to go to the aunt's house to play with their little cousin, but Mrs. Zhao drove them all back to sleep like ducks: "It's so late What do you want to do if you don't go back to sleep? Go back to sleep and come to play with my brother tomorrow."

The three of them glanced at the door together in a tacit understanding, and murmured in their hearts: It's not long after dinner, where can I sleep, and besides, it's not too late now...

Although I disagree with grandma's words in my heart, but seeing the faces of their respective fathers getting longer and longer, it is still very interesting. There is no way, people are small and weak, so our little arms should not be twisted with other thighs.

As for the older ones, they all know that their aunt is back, grandma and they must have a lot to say to her, so they better not get involved, so as not to be annoying.And now it's early summer, and the peaches in the orchard at home have grown to big size, and they are about to ripen, so they have to go to the orchard to watch, so they went to the orchard together after eating.The remaining two little girls played with Lin Fangxi, who was only three years old, and helped the aunts clean up. They each had their own work to do.

Zhao's daughters-in-law and granddaughters naturally don't need her to intervene in this kind of housework, so they went to talk to Lin Guoxiang, but Father Lin and the five brothers Jinmu, Shuihuotu and Jinmu couldn't go to Lin Guoxiang's house to watch Hers, after all, in their view, she is still in the confinement period, and the ancients were still very taboo about this.So the masters sat in the back room to discuss things.

Lin Guoxiang was resting in bed at first, and she was really tired after walking for a day. Now that she has rested, her calves are jumping up and down. I hope that when I fall asleep later, I will not have cramps, otherwise it will be terrible. It was just too painful.Just thinking like this, Mrs. Zhao came in. She was about to get out of bed but was stopped by Mrs. Zhao: "Oh, little ancestor, please don't get down, lie down properly." As he said that, he walked over to help her After tucking in the corner of the quilt, she sat down on the edge of the bed beside her, stretched out her calloused hand in distress, and held her thin and ugly hand in it, gently rubbing it.

Lin Guoxiang has never been so close to anyone since she was a child, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while, but the person in front of her is now her own mother, and she really can't get rid of her hands, so she had to bite the bullet and endure it. She felt that strange feeling in her heart and let Zhao hold her hand and look back and forth distressedly.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhao also has mixed feelings in her heart. The calluses on the palms of her daughter's young hands are not much thinner than her own, which shows how much hardship she usually endures.The corners of my eyes were wet when I thought of the daughter I had raised so hard to suffer in someone else's house, and my voice was a little choked up: "Good girl, it's your mother's uselessness that made you suffer so much... If your mother also Like those masters in the town, if you are rich and wealthy, you can take you over at the beginning, so no one can bully you like this, even if you can't live together, I can buy you two maids to serve you..."

"Mother, don't say that, the dowry my family gave me was already enough, even the people from all over the world can't find more dowry than mine." Lin Guoxiang felt a little bit in her heart when she saw Mrs. Zhao like this. With pantothenic acid, he quickly opened his mouth to comfort her, "Besides, what girl in the village does not help her husband's house when she marries, isn't that the case?"

However, she couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard Zhao's words. It's not that she didn't believe Zhao's words, but that she was disdainful of the original body. Just like Lin Guoxiang's soft and sticky appearance, she could say everything well. It is estimated that she bought the girl and served them upside down.Fortunately, Mrs. Zhao didn't really buy any girls for Yuanchen, otherwise she would have died faster, and she would have been pissed off even more.

Lin Guoxiang's consolation was alright, but Zhao Shi felt even more uncomfortable when she comforted her. Her eye circles were red and she was at a loss for what to do for a while.Hurriedly wiping her tears with a clean cloth beside her, Mrs. Zhao also knew that it was not good to cry in front of her, didn't this make her feel bad for nothing?So he quickly took the cloth towel and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes vigorously, and finally said to Lin Guoxiang with a half-discussion and half-persuasion: "Girl, just listen to your mother this time, let's not go back, okay? Dad My mother is getting old, and I really can't stand my children suffering in other people's homes... How can you bear that kind of suffering since you are weak? Even if you don't think about your parents, you should think about those two children. Who can grow up if they don’t have enough to eat all day long? Even if parents don’t help themselves, their daughters and grandchildren can still support them..."

Zhao's words said that Lin Guoxiang was not moved, which must be false. She was thinking about how to tell the story of wanting to reconcile with a scholar. After all, reconciliation was still unacceptable in ancient times, let alone from The in-law's family and the sister-in-law who brought two children after Li came back, so it's not bad if they don't go out.Besides, even though Yuanchen's parents and elder brothers usually dote on her, who knows if they will feel immoral and object when they know about her plan?
Although the Lin family is not particularly rich, it is not considered poor either. They are considered rich in Linjia Village and nearby villages. If she wants to bring her two children back, even if her brothers don’t speak, her sisters-in-law will murmur. That’s how people are. It's easy to talk about everything when it comes to interests, but when it comes to your own interests, how many people don't just change their faces?Haven't there been few cases since ancient times that loved ones have turned against each other because of their interests?Take her as an example, if the unscrupulous father and younger brother in modern times knew that she had a piece of valuable ancient jade in her hand, they might not know how to make a fuss!
Mrs. Zhao saw that Lin Guoxiang didn't speak up to defend the scholar as before, and thought that she had listened to her words, and she was overjoyed, and continued: "Girl, don't think what your mother said is ugly, if you didn't like reading If you can read and insist on marrying Wang Hao, to be honest, I really won’t agree to this marriage.” As he spoke, he took a careful look at Lin Guoxiang’s face, and found that there was no expression of impatience or anger on her face. He settled down a bit, so he paused and said, "Although the subsidy money he gives from the village every month is not small, but the money is kept by his mother. If she doesn't use it, Wang Hao will make money." No matter how much money you have, it’s all empty. Marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating, a big man can’t support you and your children, and you have to rely on you as a woman to support his big family. How can there be such a reason? Let’s not talk about it, there are other families like this too, but since they rely on you to support them, they should treat you better anyway, but look at how they treat you? If they don’t give you food, they have to make you work, If one doesn't go well, she will be beaten and scolded, and the married sister-in-law is not worried, she will come back to order you every few days..." When Zhao mentioned this, he couldn't go on anymore, and his eyes were bigger than before. more red.May I ask which mother would not feel distressed if she saw her daughter being bullied and often getting bruises all over her body?

Lin Guoxiang's nose was also sour from Zhao Shi's words, no matter how strong she is usually, the corners of her eyes began to swell slightly, "Mother, don't cry, I feel uncomfortable just watching..."

"Yes, mother, don't cry." Mrs. Zhao wiped away the tears on her face, and then wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes with a cloth towel in her hand, half distressed and half annoyed, "You You're still in confinement, you can't cry, or your eyes will be broken."

Lin Guoxiang thought: If you don't say those words and don't cry in front of me, will I be drawn to tears?But she absolutely must not say these words, otherwise Mrs. Zhao would die of grief.Although I think so, I still feel warm in my heart. Apart from my grandfather, Mrs. Zhao is the second person who really loves me when I grow up. Although she actually loves the original body, what does it matter? Woolen cloth?Since she has now replaced the original body and survived, then the love of her parents and brothers is also well deserved, right?
But since Mrs. Zhao has spoken now, she will not be polite, so Lin Guoxiang said with some hesitation: "Mother, I came back this time... I also plan to sever ties with their family... It's just... ..."

Mrs. Zhao was quite happy when she heard Lin Guoxiang say that she was going to sever ties with her in-laws. She was glad that her daughter had finally gotten better after so many years, but when she heard the words "just", her heart sank. Could it be Can't bear to let that scholar want to go back on his word?No, this time she must not be allowed to go back to that broken house and suffer, so she hurriedly said: "As long as you come back, the other parents and your brothers will help you, and you can stay at home and take care of yourself." That's it."

Lin Guoxiang knew that Mrs. Zhao had misunderstood, so she quickly said: "I'm not worried about this, it's just..." I was just afraid that those brothers would disagree... After all, she is a free eater now, and she still has two sticks. oil bottle...

Mrs. Zhao now understood what Lin Guoxiang was worried about, so she said, "Your brothers don't have to worry, they are also looking forward to your return." Don’t worry, your father and I made it clear to your sister-in-laws when they entered the house to divide the family. The two hundred acres of orchard at home, including you, will be divided into 25 acres for each family. As for the remaining The [-] mu will not be divided until your father and I have lived for a hundred years. At that time, one who can’t get the land can take this house, and the [-] mu of farmland will also be divided equally. Each family will first get [-] mu of land for themselves , and the remaining four acres will be converted into silver and divided equally in the future."

Lin Guoxiang couldn't help being speechless after listening to Mrs. Zhao's words. In this way, Yuanshen is not really poor and poor. The orchard of more than 20 acres and three acres of land are not too much, but they are not too much. How many things can be planted? what!I imagined the orchard area of ​​more than [-] mu of land in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel a little excited. It turned out that she could also be a small landlady.

Well, we have to forgive Lin Guoxiang for her superficial knowledge. After all, she lives in the modern age where land is becoming scarcer and scarcer. It is normal for her to think this way. What is it, who doesn't have thousands of acres of fertile orchards at every turn?But it's not bad for an ordinary farmer like the Lin family to have so much land.

Lin Guoxiang suppressed the little excitement in her heart, looked at Mrs. Zhao and asked seriously, "Mother, can I really come back?"

Mrs. Zhao was worried at first, but when she heard Lin Guoxiang's words, she became excited, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, as long as you are willing to come back, everything else is easy to talk about!" At the end, she was so happy that she was a little incoherent You can see how excited she is.

Lin Guoxiang looked at Zhao Shi who was so excited that she wanted to cry and was overjoyed, and her heart was moved again. Finally, she seemed to have made a lot of determination and finally nodded vigorously: "Then I'll come back, At that time, as long as the mother doesn't bother me."

Mrs. Zhao patted her lovingly, and said angrily, "This silly boy is talking nonsense again, mother loves you before it's too late, how can I bother you? Don't talk nonsense like this in the future." After finishing speaking, she smiled to herself stand up.

At this point, a stone in Lin Guoxiang's heart finally fell, and she will not worry about having no place to live or starving to death in the future.Thinking of this, she secretly let out a long sigh of relief in her heart.
