The fact that Lu Tong went home alone caused a lot of discussion among the villagers.
Miss Lu came back alone.
"That's why it's hard to be a stepmother. Mrs. Tang is also cruel, marrying her daughter to such a person for money."
The person who was talking was an aunt who had gone to the Lu family to beg for a marriage. At that time, Tang disliked the other party's family for having no money, so she just sent her away. The mother-in-law often sneered at Tang's eyes. "Miss Lu, it seems that she came back without bringing anything."
"I heard that Mrs. Tang accepted twenty taels of betrothal gifts, but didn't give any dowry."
"This Tang family seems to love her daughter very much on weekdays. How come she doesn't feel sorry for her at a critical moment."
"Is the Lu family arguing a lot lately?"
"Didn't Lu Chengyu marry a young lady, maybe he has a bit of a temper."
"Da Lin went to the town to find a job two days ago, and met Lu Chengyu's brother-in-law. That guy rushed to the restaurant for dinner, and he didn't seem to take Lu Chengyu seriously."
"To marry a daughter-in-law, you still have to be of the same family. It is important to marry a capable one. What's the use of marrying a lazy young lady?"
Once a few women in the village publicized it, the whole village knew that Lu Tong might not be able to get a foothold in her husband's house because of her poor marriage. Lu Chengyu's daughter-in-law has a bad temper, and Lu Chengyu might not be able to suppress it.
When Lu Chengyu returned home, Lu Tong had already gone back.
Knowing that Lu Tong came back alone without bringing anything, Lu Chengyu couldn't help feeling that his sister was really ridiculous.
After Lu Lin got married, he lost contact with his family. It was because Chen Xiaomi was absurd, but Lu Tong also learned from Lu Lin, so he was not afraid of being laughed at.
"What's the matter with my younger sister! So is my brother-in-law." Although it was a second marriage, Li Ji shouldn't have shown his face when he returned home!
Tang Shi was originally dissatisfied with her daughter, but when she heard the news about her daughter, she was so shocked that even her dissatisfaction with her daughter was ignored.
"Your sister isn't doing well in the Li family. That old woman in the Li family is too troublesome." Tang said.
The sage book Lu Chengyu read was essentially a selfish person. Lu Tong's life was not good, and Lu Chengyu didn't think the problem was that he used Lu Tong's dowry, but felt that his sister-in-law didn't understand too much. As a man, he eats too much and is lazy at home, and he will not please his husband and mother-in-law when he comes to his husband's house, so he wastes his good looks in vain.
Tang Shi sighed, and said: "Let's not talk about your sister-in-law. Is your sister-in-law's sister-in-law the chief wife or a concubine?"
Lu Chengyu suddenly raised his head, looked at Tang Shi, and said, "Concubine? Mother, did you hear what happened? Your sister came and said that Li Ru is just the master's concubine."
Lu Chengyu looked at Tang in disbelief, "This is impossible."
Lu Chengyu suddenly thought of a few classmates in the college. There were two classmates in the college who were not quite right with him. Knowing that he spent a lot of money to marry Li Fangyue, he smiled at him inexplicably. Lu Chengyu thought that the other party might be jealous However, this meeting felt that the other party might know something, so they were mocking him and taking a concubine's sister as a treasure.
Lu Chengyu felt a chill, from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, his heart was icy cold, but his face was flushed with anger, Tang looked at his son as if he was about to faint, and said nervously: "Cheng Yu, calm down!" point."
Lu Chengyu took a few breaths, and finally calmed down, "Mom, you didn't tell grandma about it."
Tang Shi was embarrassed and said, "No."
Tang didn't tell the old lady. First, he felt that the matter was uncertain. Second, if the old lady found out, she would definitely have trouble. This marriage was agreed to by her. If the old lady knew about it, she must be blamed. of.
If the matter spread to the village, it would be a disaster. Originally, the absence of the master bookkeeper at the wedding banquet caused a lot of discussion among the villagers. If people knew that Li Ru was just a concubine, then their family must have It will become a laughing stock.
Lu Chengyu gritted his teeth, and said: "Mother, don't say anything, wait until I find out." Tang Shi nodded and said: "Okay."
Lu Chengyu clenched his fists tightly. Subconsciously, Lu Chengyu had already accepted Lu Tong's statement. In his heart, Lu Chengyu felt that Lu Tong was high-minded but had little knowledge. Wan Xiaofan and Chen Maimai were helping each other while cooking in the kitchen.
Chen Maimai is very interested in cooking. When Ye Fan used to cook, he liked to watch from the sidelines.
Yunniang felt that it was against the rules to let Chen Mai, the young master, stay in the kitchen, but Lu Lin thought it was fine.
Chen Maimai's mind was a little dull because of a fever when he was a child, but he was not stupid.
Chen Xiaomi was very worried about this younger brother. Lu Lin saw that Chen Mai had no interest in needlework, so maybe he could cultivate Chen Mai's skills. If he could cook, it was more or less a skill.
Lu Lin packed some things on the carriage, and Chen Xiaocai came up to him.
"Brother Lin, you are going to the countryside!"
"Yes!"
When Lu Lin went back to the countryside a few days ago, Zhang Dazhu approached him and invited Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi to his son's wedding. He also made a lot of money by making kangs for the people in the town. Perhaps it was because he was grateful for the kindness of Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi in teaching the art of pan-kang, so Zhang Dazhu invited them to the wedding.
Chen Xiaomi came out of the house, Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiaomi, and said, "I'm not in good spirits!" Chen Xiaomi shook his head, "I'm fine, let's go."
"If you feel uncomfortable, stay at home and rest." Lu Lin said a little worried.
Chen Xiaomi curled her lips and said, "I don't feel uncomfortable, I just feel hot and want something cold."
Lu Lin: "..." The weather is getting hotter and hotter recently, it's better to stay indoors, but if you do strenuous activities, you'll sweat easily.
Lu Lin felt that Chen Xiaomi seemed a little afraid of the heat. He was so tired the past two days that he looked like he was about to pass out.
Lu Lin secretly took a cone to Chen Xiaomi.
After eating it, Chen Xiaomi couldn't forget the taste of the cone. He kept arguing with Lu Lin to eat it. There wasn't much stock in the canteen, not to mention that eating too many cold drinks was not good, so Chen Xiaomi gave it to Chen Xiaomi. Passed two. Lu Lin was so "stingy", which made Chen Xiaomi bluff from time to time.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaomi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, I don't think you're well, so just stay at home, and I'll go to Uncle Zhou's side for you."
Uncle Zhou is an old hunter who helped Chen Xiaomi in the village. When he was in the countryside, Chen Xiaomi would send something from time to time. Just be polite, if I really go, it might be a disaster."
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaomi and sighed, "It will get better."
Chen Xiaomi curled her lips and said, "It doesn't matter, it's okay if it's not good."
Lu Lin thinks about it too, they have moved to the town now, and the reputation of the village has less influence.
Many people were invited to the Zhang family's wedding, and Lu Lin's appearance attracted the attention of many people.
After a long time, everyone in the village basically knew that Lu Lin didn't seem to be living in the country, and many people were very curious about the whereabouts of Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi.
"Lu Lin, you're here, long time no see."
"Lu Lin, where have you been recently? How are you getting along with Chen Xiaomi?"
"Lu Lin, I heard that you are now working in the town, how much money do you make a month!" As soon as Lu Lin appeared, he was greeted by everyone. The attitude of everyone seemed very casual when Chen Xiaomi was not there.
Lu Lin told people that he is now working in the town, including food and housing, two taels of silver a month, and Chen Xiaomi is the same as him, so he seldom goes back to the countryside.
When many people heard about Lu Lin's salary, they all lamented that Lu Lin was so good that he found such a decent job. Some people beat around the bush to ask what he was doing, and some people directly asked the host's family if they wanted someone else.
"Lu Lin, you know! Li Fangyue and Lin Xiuer are both pregnant."
Lu Lin couldn't help but be surprised. Country people pay attention to having more children and more blessings. It is always a good thing to be able to conceive a child. Lu Lin originally guessed whether the relationship between Li Fangyue and Lu Chengyu was not good. He did not expect that the relationship between the two is very good. There will be a child soon. However, there are very few people in the Lu family who know how to work. Li Fangyue and Lin Xiuer are pregnant at the same time. I don't know who will do the work at home. Live.
This was the case when the original owner's mother was pregnant with her second child.
When the original owner's mother was six or seven months pregnant, she was forced by the old lady to go out to wash clothes in the cold winter months. As a result, she fell and lost the child. The original owner's mother was injured because of this, and she could no longer conceive. up.
Facing the miscarriage of the daughter-in-law, the old lady didn't feel any apology, but felt that the original owner's mother was incompetent and couldn't even keep a child.
The original owner's father was also honest. Although he was sad, he didn't make a fuss.
Lu Lin thought to himself: The fact that the original owner's mother died so soon should have something to do with the miscarriage.
"Alin, you and Chen Xiaomi haven't heard anything yet?"
"A Lin, Chen Xiaomi must have a bad temper."
"A Lin, you are not young anymore, hurry up?"
Lu Lin's face was persuaded by everyone, and he couldn't help turning slightly red. Shuang'er can have children, but Chen Xiaomi looks just like a man, which often makes Lu Lin forget this. There are already Xiaocai and Maimai at home, and his career is still in its infancy. Lu Lin also didn't want to rush to have a child.
Seeing that everyone was talking more and more out of the question, Lu Lin couldn't sit still, so he went to the latrine and hid away.
As soon as Lu Lin left, the conversation among the villagers suddenly changed.
"Chen Xiaomi is so fierce, will he not let Lu Lin touch him at all!"
"Even if Chen Xiaomi lets Lu Lin touch him, does Lu Lin dare to touch Chen Xiaomi casually? That guy is so fierce, he can kick Lu Lin half-legged."
"Would Chen Xiaomi not be able to have children at all?" Shuang'er looks basically the same as a man, but there is a small flower on his forehead. The brighter the color of the flower, the easier it is to have children. Chen Xiaomi is a bit special. His flower It grows on the top of the head and is completely covered by the hair. It is easy for strangers to recognize it as a man.
"Chen Xiaomi is really lucky to find a job in the town."
"Is it so easy to find jobs in the town now? There are two taels of silver a month, isn't it nonsense!"
"It shouldn't be nonsense, you can see that Lu Lin's clothes are very different from when he was in Lu's house."
"Don't tell me, Lu Lin looks more energetic than when he was in Lu's house."
Hearing the villagers' comments, Lu Lin couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. However, Lu Lin also knew that most of the villagers had no bad intentions. However, seeing that he and Chen Xiaomi had a good time, he felt a little sour, so he wanted to find a place to live with them. The disadvantages are used to balance.
