Widow Zhang was simply stunned.
Before she got married, she knew that Father Li was someone who liked to do good deeds, but it didn't matter, it was really comfortable to be taken care of by him, although she knew that Father Li gave her money and food, and it was his daughter who suffered. So what, it's not just that she suffers by herself.
She looks good, just because she is a widow and can't find any good family. Although Li's father treated her well before, but because he was too poor, she didn't look down on him. However, there are only a few in the entire county.
Li's father was responsive to her requests, and he also had a son-in-law who was a good man. That was a good marriage.
Widow Zhang still regrets not showing her favor before Li Lanlan was married, but it doesn't matter, can her daughter refuse to obey what her father said? Dad is short of money, can my daughter give it to me? With her father Li, she is equivalent to having Li Lanlan in her hands.
This was Widow Zhang's idea before she got married.
However, after she got married, she realized that Li's father didn't know what was wrong, and actually thought that the Lin family who had raised people was very poor.
If it weren't for her having some means, Li's father, who served him properly, would not have been able to persuade him to go to the Lin family to ask for money.
In the end, he went, and the money didn't come, but he gave a lot.
Reason: In the past, my son-in-law was eating. Poor, he only drank a bowl of clear porridge, and his daughter couldn't even drink porridge next to him. Seeing that they were pitiful, he gave all the money on his body.
Widow Zhang was so angry that she wanted to explode.
That's a lift! ! !
Do you know how valuable it is? ! ! How can there be no money!
If she hadn't been thinking that she could only rely on Father Li in the future, she would have wanted to scold this useless man as an idiot.
She exhaled and exhaled, so that she could exhale the anger out, and continued to soften her voice to blow the pillow wind. It happened that Lin Shiheng came back on the second day, and the news of Li Lanlan's hair with blond hair spread all over the place. Widow Zhang was like a Having seized some great handle, he hurriedly persuaded her husband.
The Lin family must be prosperous, otherwise, why would there be blond hairpins!
Our family has a hard life, and the children are young. You can do the work by yourself. How can you live? If your son-in-law has money, it is also right for him to give some filial piety to his father-in-law.
In any case, looking at Jiao DiDi's wife, Li's father still went to Lin's house again.
When he went to Lin's house, it was the busiest time of Lin's house.
At that time, almost the entire village knew that Master Juren was back, and the next-door neighbor, his second cousin, his mother-in-law and nephew, came to see the fun. The whole room was packed full of people, wanting to pay homage to Master Juren's demeanor.
Little daughters-in-law or mothers-in-law basically hold children.
This is also a tradition. Anyone who has a promising character will be surrounded by people who will bring their young men or pregnant daughter-in-law over to cheer them up.
Everyone is poor, but they also have a face, especially in front of a person like Lin Shiheng. Of course, they can't come to Lin's house empty-handed to visit and raise people, so almost everyone has something in their hands.
It may be a piece of fabric, it may be a half-basket of eggs, or it may be a fish caught at home. Anyway, even if it was originally empty-handed, and seeing others take something, either I have no face to stay, or I go home and take it. Something comes again.
In this case, Father Li, who didn't take anything, was very conspicuous.
He was also a little confused at the time. Although this guy was shameless and told his wife's family to borrow money and spend it for others in order to do good deeds, it was also because he felt that he was doing good deeds, and he was open-minded and open-minded towards others. The sight naturally doesn't matter.
These people don't understand.
He is doing good deeds.
But this time, he was called by Widow Zhang to borrow money from his son-in-law, and then supplemented his family.
What a mouthful this is!
When Father Li was standing awkwardly, not knowing if he should step forward, some villagers who came to watch the lively Lin's house had already recognized him.
"Yo, isn't this Juren's father-in-law? Come to Hexi?"
There is also a young daughter-in-law who has become familiar with Li Lanlan and shouts at Li Lanlan who is busy in the inner room:
"Lanlan, your father is here for Hexi, come and welcome him!"
Li Lanlan, who was giving out the candy according to her mother-in-law's instructions, shook her hand, put down the candy and greeted her.
After getting married, Li Lanlan, who finally mastered the skills of how to deal with her father, is no longer the same as before, and she is helpless against her father.
She also found out what kind of virtue her father was.
He is soft-hearted, his own interests and the interests of others always give priority to others. He has no bad intentions, but he is ruthless in everything he does to his own family.
One of the ruthless, Father Li decided to marry Widow Zhang, but he didn't even say a word to his only daughter.
He went to Widow Zhang's house to propose marriage, and brought the person back, but he didn't say a word. If it wasn't for a good little daughter-in-law who played with Li Lanlan and told her, as a daughter, Li Lanlan would not even know that her father would marry again.
Mother went early. Dad was alone for so many years. Although Li Lanlan felt uncomfortable, he would not stop him from marrying, but if he married, he would marry. What did she do without her being so blatant, could it be that she could still be a married daughter? Call the door and stop your father from marrying your stepmother
Li Lanlan was getting more and more chilled, and the Li family didn't come to tell her, she just thought she didn't know, she was just a little gloomy.
But this bad mood changed after Xianggong came back. Xianggong was admitted to Juren, but he treated her the same as always, and brought her a new hairpin. He even held her hand to thank her and said Gotta fight for her.
The hardships of the past ten years seemed to be for her to wait for her husband.
Because of the presence of her husband, Li Lanlan was able to calmly deal with matters concerning Li's father.
Li Lanlan greeted her mother-in-law, and took Li's father into the house. She poured a glass of water and handed it to her. Seeing that Li's father was a little stiff, she stretched out her hand to take it, and said, "Dad, you have heard the good news of Xianggong and are here to congratulate you?"
If he was a little more clever, he would probably have followed the trend, but Father Li was not. He murmured for a while before he said a little embarrassedly: "No, it's your mother... She asked me to come and take a look... "
Widow Zhang married Li's father, so she could be regarded as her mother.
Li Lanlan had an impression of this stepmother. When she got married before, this one called her son to come and let Father Li leave her wedding.
Now that kid is also the son of Li's father, her brother.
As soon as the news of judging people in the Xianggong exam came, it took no more than three days for Widow Zhang to marry. Li Lanlan wouldn't believe it if she married because she was in love with Li's father.
Father Li came here, not to say congratulations, but to have a look. If there is nothing tricky, who will believe it.
Sure enough, the next moment, Father Li spoke a little embarrassedly: "Your mother said... Our family is not doing well, and now the son-in-law has become a master and developed, you see, can you let the son-in-law give some money... "
These words were taught to him by Widow Zhang, and he was a little stumped when he said it: "Also, there is your brother, although he is young, he is smart, and he is a family, can you let your brother recognize his son-in-law? Words, I will also take the test in the future... I will take the test and come back."
Even though she had been prepared for a long time, Li Lanlan never thought that she would hear the day when her father asked for money for the family in her life.
When she was his daughter at home, he would give away the family's money all day long. She and her mother would starve to death, and he could still take their life-saving food for charity.
Now that she is married, Li's father remarries, but he knows that he has plans for his family, his new wife, and his stepson.
Li Lanlan clenched the teapot involuntarily, her eyes gradually turning red.
In the end, she still sighed and asked in a low voice, "My husband still wants to be admitted to the jinshi, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to teach..."
She didn't know the name of her step-brother, and after a pause, Father Li said quickly, "Your brother's name is Zhou Yuan, and I'll bring him to see you another day."
No matter how generous a woman might be, she probably wouldn't want to see someone who ruined her wedding. Li Lanlan felt that she could bear it without crying.
Just as he was holding back, the door opened from the outside.
Lin Shiheng, wearing a half-new green shirt, walked in, with a smile on his face, he was obviously in a good mood, and when he saw Father Li, he bowed his hands politely: "I heard that my father-in-law is here, I'll come and have a look. , has father-in-law eaten?"
Li's father was embarrassed because he proposed to borrow money. When he saw his son-in-law's eyes, he flashed a sigh of relief, and said in a very weak manner: "I have eaten."
Li Lanlan didn't want to expose her weak self in front of Xianggong. She shook her handkerchief and pressed it to the corner of her eye, trying to pretend that she was okay.
I didn't think that Lin Shiheng saw her at a glance, and immediately went to her side with distressed eyes, "Why is the lady crying again? Didn't I say it? Now that the family has no money, it is only temporary, and I will make money back in the future, so don't cry. Now, my father-in-law is still here."
Li Lanlan was stunned, didn't Xiang Gong come back with the money
The next second, she turned around.
As soon as Xin Nian turned his head up, tears rolled down his face.
This time I didn't use garlic at all, because the grievances in my heart were all real tears.
He said pitifully, "I just saw my father, and I couldn't hold back for a while."
Lin Shiheng sighed and looked at the stunned father Li: "It's a joke to call my father-in-law. My family is poor, but Lan Lan has suffered a lot of grievances. Although she doesn't blame me, she can't help but shed a few tears."
The two of them sang together, which made Father Li a little stunned.
He was dumbfounded and said, "Are you out of money? Ke Lanlan has this hairpin on her head..."
"Eh… "
The scholar in Tsing Yi shook his head helplessly: "It's not like this is the name of a person, Lan Lan is also a lady, if it still doesn't have jewelry like before, I will be laughed at in the county, so I can only bite my teeth and buy a gold hairpin, good picture Decent, in fact, the family has no money."
Li Lanlan let out a sob in cooperation, lowered her head and wiped her tears: "Before, someone came to give gifts, but we didn't recognize them, and the husband was not at home, so we had no choice but to return the gifts. Now, we don't even have money for the banquet. Gone."
Father Li didn't understand this. Seeing that his daughter and son-in-law were so pitiful, he quickly said, "That's fine, we can still live on, but you guys, why don't I pick up some food tomorrow?"
"No need."
Lin Shiheng said with a sad face: "Thank you father-in-law for your kindness. If you are short of money, you have to earn it yourself. There is no reason to seek help from others, and it is not because you have broken an arm or leg, or can't even eat a meal, what a shame. to open this mouth."
Father Li was startled, his face blushed.
Isn't that what he is
Lin Shiheng said this as if he was scolding him, but he didn't hear the conversation between Li's father and Li Lanlan just now, and it must not be intentional.
Father Li comforted himself in his heart, but he still felt uncomfortable, thinking about Widow Zhang's request, barely holding on to leave, and muttered with a blushing face: "Shi Heng, Dad has something else to ask you, that, Lan Brother Lan is very smart, see if you can teach him to read, and let him take the exam in the future."
The Qingyi scholar agreed very happily.
"It's easy to say! Brother Lan Lan is my younger brother. They are all family, so why be polite."
Before Father Li could be happy, he heard Lin Shiheng ask in a doubtful tone, "It's just that I remember that Lan Lan is the only daughter..."
He was embarrassed again. He was a lot of age, and it was always difficult to say it after marrying a stepson. "You went to take the exam, I don't know, I married a wife again, and she brought this child here."
Fortunately, Lin Shiheng didn't show a strange look after hearing it, but nodded calmly, "That's the time to congratulate my father-in-law, but I don't know which one belongs to."
"The Zhang family in Hedong Village, the child's name is Zhou Yuan, and he hasn't had time to change his surname. I'll take him to change his surname to Li after a while..."
Before Father Li could finish speaking, he saw that the face of his respectful son-in-law had changed since he entered the house.
"Zhou Yuan? But the child who came to my father-in-law's house on the day I married Lan Lan?"
When he mentioned this, Father Li also remembered the scene that day and nodded: "Yes, this is the child, the most filial one. His grandmother was sick that day, and Baba came to me."
Judging from his expression, he was very satisfied with this child.
Lin Shiheng tore off his gentle smile, and said coldly, "If it were Zhou Yuan, I'm afraid my son-in-law would be powerless."
Seeing Father Li's blank face, he sneered again: "On the day Lan Lan got married, the father-in-law carried her to the entrance of the village, but the child ignored this and insisted on pulling the father-in-law to leave, which shows that his character was not good, and the father-in-law still asked for another Be smart."
Father Li also remembered the situation that day, and said, "At that time... wasn't the situation urgent?"
"On that day, there were other people who kindly said that they would go back with Zhou Yuan and send his grandma to the hospital, but he insisted that he would not let his father-in-law go, completely disregarding that that day was Lan Lan's wedding day. Lan Lan became a joke, and made others feel that her father-in-law was a cold and ruthless person who did not have a daughter in his eyes. His father-in-law helped them a lot, but he treated you and Lan Lan like this, with such unkind and unrighteous behavior, what else could be said. "
Father Li was really stunned.
He has always only wanted to do good things, and never thought about it. When Lin Shiheng said it with such a cold face and righteous words, he actually realized that the child seemed to have no respect for him.
He was overwhelmed and didn't know how to do good things and make mistakes.
However, Lin Shiheng didn't give him a good face for the first time, so he threw his sleeves away and said to Li Lanlan coldly, "Send your father-in-law back."
Although she knew that Xianggong was acting, and seeing his indifferent expression, Li Lanlan panicked for a moment, and regardless of Li's father, he chased to the door to grab Lin Shiheng's hand, and hurriedly said: "Xianggong!"
The scholar in Tsing Yi threw off her hand, his face was indifferent, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
His mouth moved slightly, and he said softly, "Good, go back."
Li Lanlan instantly calmed down and slowly released her hand.
As soon as he turned his head, he burst into tears at Father Li.
"What did Dad say to my husband! You want to marry my stepmother, and I didn't refuse. The younger brother I brought ruined my wedding, and I didn't make trouble with you. It's okay now, my husband hates me, and you are satisfied. !!"
How could Father Li think that he had caused such a big disaster, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he got up quickly, "You, you should talk to your son-in-law, I won't mention letting him teach Zhou Yuan, and I won't mention it again..."
Li Lanlan covered her eyes with a handkerchief, recalling how Zhou Daya cried: "嘤嘤嘤..."
"Lanlan, Dad didn't bring much money when he came out today. You should take the money first, and tell your husband well. If you have any difficulties in the future, come back to me."
"Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."
Father Li didn't know what to say, so he threw the money on the table and ran away, thinking that he had even caused his daughter and son-in-law to have a quarrel with him on this trip. I swore that I would never mention my stepson to my son-in-law.
Seeing him leave, Li Lanlan put away the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and put away the money.
She took all the money Li's father gave her, and didn't plan to use it. If he really couldn't make it in the future, she wouldn't stand by, but she could only give food and clothing. No matter how much, she would never give it.
Next door, the daughter-in-law of the second room was looking enviously at the villagers from the third room who came to give gifts and cheer, and the daughter-in-law of the big room came with a beaming face.
"Second brother and sister, guess what I just saw!"
During this period of time, the husband and wife of the second house and the second house were not in harmony. It was rare for the daughter-in-law of the second house to see her so happy, and she was also interested.
"What did you see?"
"I saw the third brother came out of the room with an angry face just now. The third younger brother and sister chased after him and pulled his hand, and was thrown away. From the look, it seemed that the two had quarreled."
Dafang's daughter-in-law was simply overjoyed. She didn't have the guts to make trouble, but that didn't mean she wasn't jealous of Li Lanlan anymore.
Especially during this period of time, she and Boss Lin were arguing and complaining about each other, but Li Lanlan was quiet and got a blond hairpin.
Seeing that Li Lanlan was unlucky now, she was even happier than the Chinese New Year.
The second daughter-in-law didn't believe her.
The other things are fine. Every time I get involved in the third room, what my sister-in-law said is wrong.
"The third brother and the third younger sister have such a good relationship, how could they possibly quarrel? You may have read it wrong."
"How could it be wrong!"
Dafang's daughter-in-law really swore this time, "I saw it with my own eyes, I can't go wrong!!"
"Maybe it's the third brother who passed the exam and has a high status, so he doesn't look down on the third brother and sister."
Li Lanlan, who has always been smooth sailing, can be as detested by her husband as she is.
Eh, I can't help laughing just thinking about it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Lanlan come out of the room and went to the kitchen to get a plate of vegetables, which seemed to be brought into the room.
Dafang's daughter-in-law was suddenly shocked, "Look!! Her eyes are red! It must be because of the third brother who cried!"
The second wife's daughter-in-law showed a lack of interest.
She always felt that every time the sister-in-law asserted what happened to the third room, the result was definitely the opposite.
Not even once.
Just thinking about it, Lin Shiheng also came out of the room and walked straight towards his little daughter-in-law. With a smile on his face, he didn't know what to say to Li Lanlan. Li Lanlan blushed, holding chopsticks in his hand and holding a chopstick. The dish was handed to Xianggong's open mouth.
After Lin Shiheng finished eating, he also took chopsticks, picked up a chopstick dish, and fed it to her with a smile.
The two ate the same food and looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
What a show of love.
Anyone who pointed at them and said they had just finished their fight a few minutes ago would not even believe a three-year-old.
Dafang's daughter-in-law couldn't believe her eyes, she even rubbed her eyes and looked again.
However, no matter how many times they are rubbed, the couple is sweet and sweet, and there is absolutely no sign of overshooting.
"I really saw them quarreling, Li Lanlan pulled the third brother, the third brother shook off her hand, the second brother and sister, believe me, I really saw it!!"
The second daughter-in-law's face was exactly like that.
Glancing at the elder sister-in-law, who was begging for approval with disbelief, she entered the room silently.
Could it be that he was driven crazy by the misfortune of his own family and the happiness of his third siblings
She should stay away.
The daughter-in-law of the big house looked at the second sibling who entered the house, and then looked at the third house, who showed her affection, her face collapsed.
It's impossible to reconcile so quickly after the quarrel.
So the third brother and the third sibling didn't quarrel
But she really saw it! ! !
Really! ! !
