Thank you book friend China Xiao** for the pink ticket, haha.

===========================
After Wang Liu's family left, Mrs. Zhang finally let out a bad breath in her heart, but before she was happy, new troubles appeared again, and that was about the old lady's sickness.

Although Wang Liu's family was too lazy to do nothing when they were here, Wang Liu and the others could help take care of the old lady at home when she went out to mow grass, feed sheep, do housework and farm work. After all, the old lady was still her Dear mother, she wouldn't let the old lady take care of her.But once Wang Liu's family left now, Mrs. Zhang couldn't leave, and had to watch and serve Mrs. Cui all the time.Cui Shi also seems to be against her, as long as she leaves for a while, she will moan and fuss, and even become incontinent. The overnight meal was spit out.

The dead old woman must have done it on purpose!Mrs. Zhang suppressed her nausea and washed the clothes and bed sheets that she had stripped from Mrs. Cui's body. She gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly. She had never been incontinent when Wang Liu's family was around. Became like this?It's probably because the dead old woman saw that her daughter was wronged, so she used this method to disgust her!

The more Mrs. Zhang thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more irritated she was, the harder she rubbed her hands to wash the clothes. As a result——

"Chila!"

She tore Cui's entire dress from beginning to end.

Holding the torn clothes by her, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help looking up and looking around in panic, and was a little relieved when she found that no one saw her, but she didn't want to wash such dirty clothes for Mrs. Cui anymore.She vigorously threw Cui's torn clothes into the wooden basin, and cursed in a low voice: "Why do I let my mother do all this alone? An old man knows how to torture me, an honest person, if he has the ability Are you going to cure Lin Guoxiang? Hmph!"

"No, I'm also a daughter-in-law, why should I be alone to serve that old woman?" The more Zhang thought about it, the more she felt unfair, and her heart became more and more unbalanced. When she thought of Lin Guoxiang's comfort at home There was no need to do anything to ignite a fire in my heart.I saw her stand up from the stool with a "huh", because she stood up too hard, her eyes suddenly went dark, and she stood there fainted for a long time before she finally recovered.The first thing she did when she recovered was to go to Xiucai's house to settle accounts with Lin Guoxiang.

Lin Guoxiang had just finished beating a nettle and was in a good mood when she saw Mrs. Zhang barging into their house with a murderous look, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Zhang was quite imposing when she came here, but when she saw Lin Guoxiang for some reason, she panicked and became discouraged.But when she thought of serving the old lady alone, the anger in her heart rose again, and she couldn't help puffing out her chest and said forcefully: "Lin Guoxiang, we are also daughters-in-law, why should the old lady let me serve alone? Yes, the old lady used to live in your house, you can borrow a car to pick her up later, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what do you want?" Lin Guoxiang put down the net in her hand, stood up slowly, looked at Zhang Shi coldly and asked, "If I don't, what can you do to me?"

"I will, I will, I will..." Mrs. Zhang said "I will" for a long time, finally gritted her teeth, and said, "I will go to the village chief and sue you for not being filial to your mother-in-law! Then I will let everyone Everyone in the village knows that you, Lin Guoxiang, are an unfilial, vicious daughter-in-law!"

Hearing Mrs. Zhang's threat, Lin Guoxiang curled her lips in disdain, and said nonchalantly: "Okay, then you go, I'll just wait here and watch." To be honest, Mrs. Zhang's threat was too much for her. It doesn't hurt or itch, if it was the original body, maybe she would care about that little reputation, and would be frightened by Zhang's threats and would compromise, but this is nothing to her Lin Guoxiang.Let her serve that vicious old woman Cui, then she would rather not have this honor.What's more, she didn't plan to live here for a long time. When Papa Lin bought back the land in the orchard, she would have someone build a house on the land and move the children there. As for Xiucai, if he didn't want to, he could let him One can live here alone.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but hesitate when she saw Lin Guoxiang's indifferent look. She originally thought that as long as she said these words, Lin Guoxiang would take the old lady back and take care of her. But they didn't care at all and asked her to go find the village chief, and she couldn't bear to be stuck there.

She gasped for a few breaths, rolled her eyes, and suddenly thought of something and laughed in her heart, thinking: Do you think you can deceive me by pretending to be indifferent?dream!

"Lin Guoxiang, just wait, I don't want to sue you with the village chief, I want to see which side he will stand by then!" Miss Zhang let out a cold snort and twisted her head. The thick waist went out of the gate and went straight to the village chief's house.

All of Lin Guoxiang's good mood was disturbed by Mrs. Zhang, a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.It seems that we can wait to tell the scholar about this matter, otherwise, what if Mrs. Zhang sues the village head later and asks the village head to bring the old woman of Mrs. Cui here?
"No, I have to get Xiucai back and let him deal with the village chief later." Thinking of this, Lin Guoxiang quickly put the dustpan in the house, locked the door and rushed straight to the school in the village.

When Xiucai first saw Lin Guoxiang, she was quite surprised, thinking: How could this girl come to me at this moment when she is so free?
But after he heard Lin Guoxiang's intention, he fell silent, lowered his head and raised his brows in thought, Lin Guoxiang saw that he was silent, so she said: "I think you know the relationship between me and your mother, if you are not afraid of me If you take the opportunity to abuse her, just agree to let me serve her."

When Xiucai heard Lin Guoxiang's words, she suddenly raised her head and stared straight at her. There was a hint of disappointment and other emotions in her eyes that she couldn't understand. She shrank back, but after thinking about it, what was she guilty of, it was Cui's fault, why should she serve that old woman?
So she raised her chin and said, "Anyway, I won't serve your mother. If it doesn't work, the two families will take turns to take care of you. When it's my turn, I will pay the money. When the time comes, will your sister-in-law find someone or take care of her?" Whatever she wants, but there is one rule, that is, you are not allowed to bring your mother into the house."

Xiucai looked at Lin Guoxiang and was silent for a while, then said slowly, "Then how much do you plan to pay when it's our turn?"

"One tael of silver." Lin Guoxiang replied directly without thinking. She has been in this world for a long time, and she knows that spending one or two taels of silver to hire someone in the countryside is considered a very high amount. Even if they know that they will take care of immobile patients, many people will be willing to take the job of nanny. After all, it is not so simple for those strong laborers who earn money to support their families to earn a tael of silver.

"As for the money for the medicine, our two families will share it equally." Lin Guoxiang continued, "Don't forget, your eldest brother is the eldest son, and your mother should have been taken care of by their family, and they have treated you and the child like this for so many years. Guys, we are doing our best to do this.”

The scholar was silent again, but Lin Guoxiang was not in the mood to talk to him, so he said: "If you agree to the village chief's arrival, you can go out and tell them, if you don't agree, you can stay in the village by yourself." Take care of your mother at home, I won't serve her anyway."

The scholar pursed his lips and said, "Wait here for me." Then he turned around and entered the school slowly, assigned homework to the children and then came out slowly, and said to Lin Guoxiang, " Let's go, don't let the village chief wait in a hurry."

Lin Guoxiang immediately grinned and laughed silently, thinking: That old lady Cui is really a failure in life, she is not even willing to take care of her own son when she is sick, tsk tsk...

The scholar seemed to have guessed what Lin Guoxiang was thinking, so he said, "It's not that I don't want to take care of the old lady, it's just that men and women are different after all, no matter how close I am to her son, I can't get too close."

Lin Guoxiang curled her lips, in her opinion, what Xiucai said was purely making excuses for herself.When Xiucai saw her like this, he shut up and stopped talking. Why did he say such nonsense when he knew that she wouldn't believe what he said?
Xiucai and Lin Guoxiang went home in silence all the way, and saw Mrs. Zhang and the village head guarding the door from a distance, and even heard Mrs. Zhang yelling loudly: "Look, village head, I didn't lie to you, did I?" That woman Lin Guoxiang just didn’t want to take care of her mother-in-law, she was not filial, and when she heard that I wanted to ask you to judge, she locked the door and ran away, hum, I’ll just guard here, I want to see where she can hide when!"

When Lin Guoxiang heard Zhang's words, a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes, and she thought to herself: This dead woman has been looking for trouble all day long!She raised her hand and tugged on Xiucai's clothes: "Go and tell them clearly." After she finished speaking, she hid first, anyway, she had thought about it in her heart, and she would try to let Xiucai come forward to solve any problems in the future, so that she could also If you can't see it, you can be less angry.

How could Xiucai fail to see what Lin Guoxiang was thinking? He sighed in his heart, pulled himself together, tidied up his clothes, walked to the door of the house, first exchanged greetings with the village head, and then called Mrs. Zhang a sister-in-law. He said bluntly: "Sure enough, I have already told me about the matter just now. The two of us discussed it. From now on, the old lady will be taken care of by our two families in turn. The time is one month. When it is our turn, we will take care of her for a couple of days. Silver, it’s up to you whether sister-in-law finds someone or takes the silver to take care of the old lady.” After a pause, Xiucai continued, “As for the old lady’s medical expenses, we will share them equally.”

As soon as Mrs. Zhang heard that the medical distribution was going to be divided equally, she immediately exploded. She almost jumped up and said in a high voice, "Why, your family was responsible for the old lady in the past. Why do you want our family to pay? No, I don't agree!"

The scholar ignored her at all, but turned to the village chief and said, "Village chief, parents have been taken care of by the eldest son since ancient times. Am I right about this rule?"

The village head nodded: "Yes, that's right."

So the scholar said again: "Then my elder brother is the eldest son, should my mother be taken care of by my elder brother?"

"Well, that's right!" The village head nodded again.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she wanted to open her mouth to refute, but was stopped by the village chief with a sharp look: "You are a woman, don't interrupt when a man talks!"

Mrs. Zhang immediately closed her mouth unwillingly, but looking at her face that turned blue and red at that moment, it was clear that she was not convinced.

Xiucai was annoyed by the trivial and trivial matters of these parents all day long, and just wanted to solve this matter quickly so that he could go back to teach, so he didn't even look at Mrs. Zhang, and still said to the village chief: "If that's the case, then My mother living in the elder brother's house doesn't mean that we are being unfilial, right?"

"Besides, we didn't say we wouldn't serve the old lady. It's just that it's not a bad thing to pay for someone to help with the service, right?" Xiucai said, "Isn't it right for the sister-in-law to frame Lin for being unfilial?" Turning to ask Mrs. Zhang, "Since my sister-in-law is so filial and takes good care of the old lady, why don't you ask the village chief for this matter? Could it be that you are filial, I don't think so?"

Mrs. Zhang was so blocked by the scholar that she couldn't speak, her face flushed from suffocation.

"Village chief, you are the most sensible. You also know that the old lady doesn't want to see Mrs. Lin. What if she takes care of the old lady and then makes the old lady mad?" Xiucai first put a big hat on the village, "So We discussed that when it was our turn to take care of her, we would pay money to find someone to take care of her, which is also for the sake of the old lady."

The village chief was very polite to Xiucai, but now he was praised by Xiucai, and he was immediately happy. He nodded again and again at what he said, and finally stroked his goatee and said: "Just do as my nephew said, the two families Take turns to take care of the old sister. As for the medical expenses, the two families should share them equally, so it is fair." Then he turned to Zhang and ordered: "Nephew Da Xian is the eldest son of the family, so he should take care of the elderly. The old sister lives in you Home is what it should be.”

Mrs. Zhang was naturally unconvinced when she heard the words of the village chief, but she just opened her mouth and before she could speak, she was drunk back by the village chief: "Okay, that's the decision, don't mention this matter again in the future Let's all go away!" After speaking, without giving Zhang a chance to refute, he exchanged a few words with the scholar and walked away, Zhang stopped where he was and jumped.

　A friend told Tuanzi that in ancient times a married woman should have her husband's surname in front of her surname. This Tuanzi also knew it, but our daughter's surname is Lin, and if you add the word Wang in front, it becomes Wang Lin's... Ugh, the dumpling is broken...
