It wasn't just this that shocked Mother He. She could be said to be dumbfounded as she looked at her daughter being taken care of by Li Chunhua, and even spoke softly as if afraid of scaring her. Looking at Lin Shiheng again, He was also peeling peanuts, and after peeling them, he handed them to He Xuezhu to eat.
Where is this married to a daughter, clearly married to an ancestor!
If a normal mother would definitely be happy for her daughter to be so cared by her mother-in-law and husband, but mother He was full of only her son, and she wanted to show her in front of her mother-in-law that it would be easy to borrow money, and the melon seeds in her hands immediately went to her. Throwing it on the ground, he reprimanded He Xuezhu: "Xuezhu! What's the matter with you, isn't it because you are pregnant? How can you do nothing and let your mother-in-law and husband serve you, how can you be a daughter-in-law? You are too embarrassed!"
He Xuezhu was grateful for taking the glass of water that Li Chunhua handed over. Hearing her mother's stern voice, her body subconsciously stiffened. In addition, she was already worried about her resting mother-in-law, so she stood up immediately.
Lin Shiheng directly stretched out his hand to stop it, holding his wife's hand with a smile on his face: "Mother, none of us knew about Xuezhu's pregnancy before. My mother said that she went up the mountain to collect herbs some time ago, and we are also worried."
"There's nothing to worry about, but Xuezhu can run around the mountains by herself at the age of eight, carrying a medicine basket on her back, how can she be so delicate."
In the past, when Mother He spoke, Li Chunhua not only hated her, but also hated her own daughter-in-law, but now, as a mother-in-law, she didn't mind taking care of He Xuezhu, and Mother He, a mother, was too embarrassed to stop her biological daughter to rest.
Thinking about it, don't look at how hard this woman from the He family runs to their house, not to take advantage of it, and they have never seen them caring about Xuezhu.
Li Chunhua suddenly felt that the previous self who was angry with his daughter-in-law because he hated He's mother was too stupid.
It's a sin to have such a mother!
I also know that at the age of eight, a girl can go to the mountains to collect medicine by herself, and Xuezhu may have to suffer before she gets married.
After all, they have been with her for three years, and He Xuezhu has always treated her respectfully and properly. If she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it. This is almost like the He family who sold her daughter.
Seeing that Mother He was going to say more, Li Chunhua directly stood up and scolded: "I said you are not good at seeing Xuezhu, this old lady? What are you doing here at our house? Hurry up and leave if you don't say anything, why? Do you still want me to leave food for you?"
Mother He's face was not good after being scolded, but she could only swallow the rest of her words and laughed dryly: "Look at you, why are you still angry when you talk so well."
"That's not it, my little treasure, although she is quite young, is also the father of two children. My daughter-in-law has just given birth and can't go to the ground. She can only take the child in the house every day. Xuezhu's father went early. We, orphans and widows, really have no income, so we…”
Li Chunhua didn't even bother to put on a sneer: "So you came to my house to find Shiheng?"
"What did you do when we were Shiheng? Come to him when you have no money?? I tell you, dream!!"
"Mom, don't worry."
Lin Shiheng stood up, coaxed Li Chunhua to sit down with a soft smile, and went to see He Xiaobao, who was scolded and couldn't raise his head.
"Xiaobao, although the two of us are not related by blood, in the bottom of my brother's heart, I always treat you as my own younger brother. Tell me the truth, this time my brother brought money home to build a new house, do you want to build a new house as well? Say what you want, and I'll show you the way."
He Xiaobao pursed his lips a few times, wanting to say that he didn't have such a grand wish, just wanted to borrow some money to play cards, but the mother He on the side had her eyes lit up with anticipation when she heard about the new house, and she hurriedly waited for her son to answer. Helped to answer.
"Think!! I definitely want to!"
"Shi Heng, Xiaobao also wants to be as promising as you. Xiaobao is your wife and brother. You must help him!"
Li Chunhua and He Xuezhu on the side were shocked when they heard it. Li Chunhua was worried that her son was kind and really agreed, while He Xuezhu completely understood her relatives.
Although He Xiaobao has never beaten or scolded them as sisters, but his temperament is not good. , but before, whenever there was anything delicious or delicious at home, He Xiaobao would occupy his sleep and would not even touch his mother and daughter-in-law.
If this is entangled with Shi Heng, what should I do in the future...
Lin Shiheng, however, didn't seem to see Li Chunhua's face and He Xuezhu quietly pulled his arm and clothes, and looked directly at his wife and brother in front of him: "Xiaobao, if you really want to make money and build a new house, I will take you to the army."
Before He Xiaobao could speak, He's mother was startled: "The army?? That can't be done. The army is too hard. Our little treasure can't bear this hardship!"
"Hey, mother, you don't know this. I'm also a big man in the army. If Xiaobao gets on me, I can't take care of him?"
Lin Shiheng said, let go of his wife's hand, turned around, and said to his mother-in-law's pure face: "All the hard work of the troops will be sent out, and those who stay inside will not say anything about food and accommodation, but also distribute clothes. A subsidy is the amount of a month's salary."
As he said that, he gestured towards the He family's mother and son.
Mother He's eyes suddenly lit up, and even He Xiaobao, who was afraid of suffering, began to waver.
Even though he was well-loved in the He family, he always had little money on hand. After all, when the sisters got married, the money their husbands gave them had already been spent, and He Xiaobao was a person who did not like to work. His wife To take care of the child, He's mother is also weak, and the land at home can't serve too much, so she only has food and clothing every year.
But if you can have so much money every month, wouldn't it mean that you can play wherever you want in the future, and eat whatever delicious food you want.
Mother He's love for her son made her hesitate a bit more: "But my little treasure is really weak..."
Lin Shiheng looked at He Xiaobao's white and fat face as if he hadn't made the pancakes, and his smile became gentler: "Don't worry, I'm his brother-in-law, can I not take care of him?"
"Mother, give Xiaobao to me, and you can put a hundred hearts on it."
Mother He was still a little hesitant at first, but Li Chunhua, who had been unable to bear it at this time, rarely refuted her son's face, "Shi Heng, you have other things to do in the army yourself, and then lead He Xiaobao to go, it is not for yourself. Trouble? No, don't mention it again."
It's good that she didn't object. As soon as she objected, Mother He immediately became shocked, "My mother! What are you talking about? Our little treasures are just like Shi Heng's own younger brother. It is troublesome to bring our own younger brother to do things together. ?"
Afraid that Li Chunhua would mess up this good thing again for her, Mother He hurriedly grabbed Lin Shiheng's hand, for fear that he would regret it: "Shiheng, this matter is settled, in the future, my family is young. Poke will be handed over to your brother-in-law."
"Do not worry."
Lin Shiheng smiled kindly and patted the shoulders of He Xiaobao, who was looking forward to a better life in the future as his mother agreed. His magnetic voice was full of stability.
"I'll definitely take good care of Xiaobao."
****
"Yes, that's what it says..."
Lin Shiheng stood at the table, bowed his head slightly, and watched He Xuezhu seriously write his name, stroke by stroke.
She didn't know how to read at all before, so now Lin Shiheng wants to teach her to start with her name. He Xuezhu is the first to teach her, but now it seems that she writes 'Lin Shiheng' more carefully than before. Some.
Although the writing was still a little rusty, the words Lin Shiheng appeared regularly on the desktop paper.
"Xuezhu is very smart."
Seeing He Xuezhu put down her pen after she finished writing, she looked up at herself with some expectation, and the man standing at the table did not hesitate to admire: "I taught others to learn Chinese characters in the army before, but they didn't learn as fast as you, and The first time I wrote it, I could write so neatly."
He Xuezhu has always been brought up with belittling and berating. Although she has always praised her since her husband taught her to write, every time she hears it, she can't help but smile with a shy smile on her face.
"Come on, write your name again."
With Lin Shiheng's patient and gentle voice, He Xuezhu picked up the pen and continued to write down her name seriously.
Looking at the words on the paper, Lin Shiheng sighed as if he had discovered a new world: "Your memory is really good. It seems that it won't take long before you can finish the elementary school courses."
He Xuezhu nodded happily, her husband stretched out his hand behind him, his slender fingers landed on the words she had just written, and she followed: "Lin Shiheng... He Xuezhu."
"Our names are next to each other."
Listening to Lin Shiheng's smiling voice, she blushed slightly, looking at the two names she wrote down on the paper, a sweetness flooded her heart.
The man behind him raised his hand gently and touched He Xuezhu's head: "Xuezhu, go to the army with me."
"I asked my mother, and she said that she would stay and supervise the building of the house. Let's go there first. When Huaguo settles down or my position is higher, we will buy a house there to live in."
He Xuezhu raised her eyes with some surprise and some surprise, "But Mom is left alone..."
"Of course I won't leave Mom alone. It's just that the new house is being built here. Mom can't worry about it. After a while, I'll have to take Mom over."
The husband and wife were talking tenderly when a woman's voice suddenly came from outside: "Chunhua! Chunhua! Are you here?!"
He Xuezhu heard the voice of the third aunt of the Lin family, the corners of her mouth that had been raised because of her husband's gentleness fell again, and she stood up slightly with frowning.
She always knew that her mother-in-law didn't like the Lin family, and even the always good-natured He Xuezhu didn't like these Lin family members who always came to mock her mother-in-law with her three years of not having children.
Seeing that He Xuezhu was about to go out frowning, Lin Shiheng gently held her shoulders to let her sit down, and said warmly, "I'll go, you can continue to practice calligraphy."
Only then did He Xuezhu realize that her husband had already returned, so she no longer had to bite the bullet and deal with those who she didn't want to see.
Because of her pregnancy, He Xuezhu's expression became more gentle and her brows became a little bit more feminine, and her expression gradually relaxed. She sat down on the stool again, and looked at her husband and nodded her trustily, "Okay, what can I do for you?"
Lin Shiheng smiled softly, adjusted the pen-holding posture for her, and then opened the curtain and went out.
He didn't need to go out to know why Aunt Lin came here, it was nothing more than asking him to visit the two old people.
This is indeed the case. Their new house is being built in full swing. The old Lin family waited for a few days before the always filial Lin Shiheng came to visit his grandmother. Finally, the shelf could no longer hold up, so Lin Shiheng was sent. The third aunt came to urge.
Lin Shiheng knew about the situation of the Lin family. Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin gave birth to three sons. The eldest was his father who had this body. , almost out of the house.
She doesn't like her parents-in-law, nor does the grandpa of the Lin family like this daughter-in-law, but she still loves Lin Shiheng, her grandson. When he was a child, the two old people were fine, and they gave Lin Shiheng something to eat and drink, because In this regard, when he grows up, he is also very filial to the two old people.
After that, the two old men were too frail to work, but the valuables at home, such as land deeds, were all tightly held in their hands. The other two sons and daughters-in-law had not yet separated, whether it was for those things or something else. , all held and respected the old man.
In my memory, the grandparents and grandparents really didn't have any bad intentions towards him. It was just the old thinking of the older generation. The children who felt that they had a good chance had to be dragged. .
Adoption or something, it has always been the other two people who have been arguing, and they have never let go.
But even so, for Li Chunhua, let Shi Heng, who has never benefited from the other two rooms, go to them? how is this possible!
Back then, when her man left, she had a hard time with her children, and she didn't see the two houses come to call her Shiheng!
The third aunt of the Lin family knew Li Chunhua's sister-in-law's temper, and she was a little reluctant to come here. When she saw Lin Shiheng coming out of the room, her face immediately burst into a smile.
It's better if it's not Li Chunhua, her eldest nephew is very filial to her grandparents.
It seems that this time, I can get some benefits for my baby and man.
Lin Shiheng was as gentle and easy to talk as she remembered. When Aunt Lin said that the two old people couldn't think what he wanted and couldn't come down to see him, he made a decisive decision and said that he would go to see his grandma immediately.
Aunt Lin was proud, and brought her nephew to the house all the way, watching him enter the two old people's rooms, waiting for Lin Shiheng to come out and take the initiative to give them two rooms to take care of the old people.
As a result, it took a long time to wait.
After waiting until the two men who went down to the ground came back, Aunt Lin hurriedly greeted him: "Brother, Guowei, don't forget it later, let's talk to Shi Heng about the difficulties at home."
"You are his serious uncles, Shiheng will definitely not lose face to you!"
Both brothers had the same greed on their faces, "Don't worry."
In the room, all four of them had smiles on their faces, full of joy.
After a while, the handsome young man walked out of the grandma's room.
He looked melancholy, and without waiting for the two of them to speak, he went straight to Uncle Lin, hugged him and patted his back, "Uncle San! Really, I don't even know how to thank you. Grandpa takes good care of you!"
"Don't worry, nephew is not the kind of master who doesn't recognize people when he has money. If I have a chance, I must bring my third uncle and Binbin."
Binbin is the eldest son of Uncle Lin.
After Lin Shiheng finished speaking, he let go of the confused third Uncle Lin with red eyes and moved face: "Then I'll go back first, really, thank you and my third aunt, I didn't know before, you all paid for taking care of grandpa and grandma. so much… "
After he finished speaking, he turned around and greeted Second Uncle Lin who was standing by the door: "Second Uncle, I'll go back first."
Until Lin Shiheng left, he didn't mention why he only thanked the third uncle and not the second uncle.
But he didn't need to say it, everyone's eyes were on Aunt Lin who went to the Lin house to call Lin Shiheng over and was alone with him along the way.
Aunt Lin: "...you see what I'm doing, I didn't tell him."
hehe!
The second aunt rolled her eyes directly at her sister-in-law, and said strangely: "Yes, it's not you, who else is there besides you?"
Second Uncle Lin's face was also very gloomy and unattractive, but he couldn't care about his sister-in-law, so he could only turn around with a dark face, and Second Aunt Lin hurriedly followed behind him.
Aunt Lin was angry and anxious, so she could only look at her husband: "Guowei, it's not me!"
Uncle Lin waved his hand indifferently: "What are you pretending to do with me, it's alright, you did the right thing, of course it is better to share the benefits with one person than two people, go, hurry in and see if Shi Heng has stayed. What a good thing."
After they entered the house, Second Aunt Lin quietly stuck her head out, looked at the closed door with a gloomy face, stomped her feet angrily, and turned to find her husband.
After Li Chunhua happily came back from the neighbor's house and got a good night's sleep, the next day I heard that the two brothers from the Lao Lin family had a gap for some unknown reason and almost didn't fight.
"I heard that even the meals are eaten separately!"
"We don't even say hello when we meet each other, it's like we haven't seen that person."
"Tsk tsk tsk is still a brother, but Chunhua, you can relax in the future, then the two concubines of the Lin family are also fierce now, but they don't have time to go to your house to stab you, as I see it, they are the only ones. This posture seems to be strangling for a lifetime."
cool! ! !
Li Chunhua is simply refreshed! !
The two old Lin family only knew that the nephew who had never lost his father, and the money-hungry bastard returned it to the nest!
This news was enough for her to laugh all night, until when she was sending her son and daughter-in-law away, Li Chunhua couldn't hold back, and secretly shared her happiness with her son.
After sharing, I couldn't help but gloat and added: "You said, why did they fall out?"
Lin Shiheng carried his luggage with a pure smile: "I don't know either."
"I guess it's the same. How do you know about their family's affairs? Well, hurry up and get in the car, but you must take good care of Xuezhu."
Saying goodbye to his mother, Lin Shiheng carefully helped his wife onto the train, followed by He Xiaobao who was full of excitement.
He Xiaobao's heart is full of longing and yearning for the future.
Three meals a day with meat, no work to eat, no need to work, monthly salary, and no tiredness at all...
So beautiful, hehe.
As soon as he was finished, he saw his brother-in-law carefully placing his sister and sitting firmly, raising his eyebrows and looking at himself, the corners of his lips raised slightly, revealing a good-looking smile.
Although the spirit is still excited, the body trembles subconsciously.
Strange, why do I feel that my brother-in-law is smiling a little maliciously.
Must be an illusion!
