C15 Good Play

Since Lin Xin'er had fallen into the well and regained her consciousness, she had only seen Lin Guo'er once yesterday at dinner. Because the room was rather dark, she did not see Lin Guo'er's appearance, and at this moment, she carefully looked at Lin Guo'er, only to see that she was wearing a red dress, her hair was combed high, there was not a single strand of messy hair, but there was no headdress, and her sharp cheeks had a pair of eyes that slanted towards Lin Xin'er.

"Guo'er, go to the east side and call your father and your third uncle back. Tell them to come back to the house as soon as possible, the one who wants to borrow money to pay is your uncle, don't make it so that your grandfather can sign on his behalf. When the time comes, he'll become a family to pay his debts with us." Mrs. Zhou said in a hurry.

Lin Guo'er rolled her eyes and said, "With such a small matter, you still want me to come by. With such a silly girl standing in front of me, why didn't mom order such a cheap person to come out of the house? I've only just started doing the work, and there's still one more month before my aunt is born. I have to send her there on the day she was born."

Guo'er, the matter right now is getting more urgent. Although what you said makes sense, but you know that Xin Er, this damned girl, doesn't have any use for words. Everyone in our family knows that she is not very smart, and she is usually a fool. Mrs. Zhou hurriedly explained.

Lin Guo'er left the room with an unhappy expression.

Seeing that Lin Guo'er had left, Madame Zhou coldly glared at Lin Xin'er and said: "You useless brat, why aren't you getting out of here?"

"Big sister Guo'er heard what second uncle's mother said just now and has already rolled out. I will also roll out now." Lin Xin'er left behind these words as she smiled and ran out.

Mrs. Zhou's scolding came from behind.

In the woodshed.

Mrs Zhao held a piece of tofu and cut it into pieces before placing it on a plate. She sprinkled the chopped onion and ginger on the tofu and poured a small bowl full of oil over the tofu. The yellow soy oil dispersed and soaked the tofu. The white and yellow colors slowly fused, and a faint bean fragrance permeated the air.

"Xin Er, where did you go to play again?" When Mrs Zhao carried the tray out of the woodshed, she coincidentally bumped into Lin Xin'er and passed the tray in her hand to Lin Xin'er as she asked.

"Mom, I just went to the toilet. The millet porridge has already been boiled." Lin Xin'er smiled.

"I saw it just now. You go and bring this plate of tofu to the top of the house while I cook some peanuts." Mrs Zhao said with a smile, her voice was filled with the gentleness of a mother.

Just a moment ago, when Madame Zhou and Lin Guo'er were speaking to each other, they had been very gentle and affectionate. However, when she turned around to speak to her, they were speaking to each other viciously.

Last night, she had complained that her life was miserable and that she had become a poor girl, leading a life that was simply inhumane. Now, looking at Mrs Zhao's loving eyes, she felt very happy.

Inside the house.

Old Man Lin and the golden-haired man began to talk excitedly. Lin Jia Wang and Lin Jia Gui, who were sitting on both sides of the table, listened attentively. Lin Shucheng, who was sitting at the bottom, was busy pouring wine for everyone.

Lin Xin'er placed the plate on the table and quietly retreated. The door to the room was slightly ajar, and Mistress Yang's deep voice could be heard, "Xin'er, come over here."

"Grandma, why are you looking for me?" Lin Xin'er asked as she closed the door.

Lady Yang took out a comb and gave it to Lin Xin'er as she said, "Help me comb my hair a bit more neatly."

Taking the comb from the Yang family, Lin Xin'er felt a little strange, her eyes looking at the new blue brocade clothes of the Yang family. The clothes and style were the same as yesterday, but there were bright flowers embroidered on the sleeves and the hem, making the Yang family look even younger.

Lin Xin'er took a comb and gently combed her hair. When she brushed it to the side of the Yang family's earlobes, a pair of silver earrings shined with a faint radiance.

What happened to the Yang family?

Lin Xin'er's heart became even more baffled. Lady Yang's meticulous dressing made her look like a young lady on a blind date. Thinking about how there were no outsiders apart from Zhou Fancai today, she felt a little puzzled.

"Grandmother, using Polygonum multiflorum to wash your hair or drink water can change your white hair to black." Lin Xin'er said with a smile.

"Who told you that?" Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows.

"I heard someone say that when I went to get water from the well, I can't remember her face. When Grandma goes to the county town, I can ask a doctor. They all have a prescription." Lin Xin'er replied.

"No wonder your aunt didn't have white hair, she had a doctor prescribe them. In a few days, I have to go to your aunt's house, your mother came to find me in the morning, and told me to take your sister and go to the county." It's not convenient for Xing'er to stay in the Yang Mansion, but I think it's more appropriate for you to go. After your aunt has given birth to her young master, you can stay for another month and take care of your aunt.

Grandmother, I have a servant by my side, of course I don't need my help. I may be the most worried about little gongzi, since little gongzi can take care of me, and after all, I'm only relieved if someone is taking care of me. Little gongzi has just given birth, and I need to rest in bed. Lin Xin'er said with a smile.

The Yang family listened in silence.

Lin Xin'er didn't know anything about ancient hair accessories. Just as she was worrying about how to comb her hair, she heard née Qin's voice from outside the door, "Mother, can I come in?"

"Come in."

As soon as née Qin stepped into the house, Lin Xin'er looked pleasantly surprised as she said to Lady Yang, "Grandma, auntie has seen a lot of wives in the town, and their hands are the most coincidental. They can definitely comb out our village without any hair." Smiling at née Qin, he said, "Uncle, please teach me. I want to learn from you. In the future, I can comb Grandma's hair every morning. After all, Grandma is already old, so how can I let Grandma comb her hair herself?"

"Look at this little mouth, it makes people happy. Since you have this intention, I can't let you down." Yang Shi said with a smile.

née Qin took the comb from Lin Xin'er's hand. With a few simple strokes, she combed her hair, placed the comb on the table, and asked with a smile: "What do you think about this hair, mother? It's a fairy hair, which is very popular in the town. It's a little daughter-in-law that was married from the county city. She was first groomed up, and then all the little daughter-in-laws in the town started learning from her. "

"Isn't it a joke that an old woman like me who combs her hair?" Yang Shi said happily.

Née Qin smiled: "Mother, I saw that the hair combed by those young wives is not as beautiful as yours. It's as if it was specially made for mother."

"Look at your cute mouth. You always pick on nice words to praise me, but I can't completely believe you. Let me see, how is this fairy?" The Yang family turned to look at Lin Xin'er.

Lin Xin'er smiled and said, "Eldest Uncle said everything that I was thinking in my heart. Eldest Aunt combed her hair so much that it looked extremely good from a distance. I really couldn't tell that Eldest Aunt and Eldest Aunt were a generation apart, but those who don't know actually think Eldest Aunt and Eldest Aunt are sisters?"

"Take a look." She pointed at the smiling Qin Shi and said: "This girl's mouth is even more coincidental than yours. She has learned to be well-behaved after falling down once, and won't be able to breathe after a beating from now on. But now she's better, her brain and mouth are more nimble."

Née Qin was extremely annoyed, but she still smiled and said: "This is still better than mother's recuperation. If it weren't for mother's recuperation at the side, Mrs Zhao, who is counting on stuffy gourds, would normally not even dare to fart. How could she teach her talkative daughter?"

"Now that you mention it, I feel a bit like how I was back then. It's just that I had a bit of a resemblance, and I'm still a long way off from it. Go and help your mother cook dinner." Mistress Yang held the bronze mirror and looked at the person in it, and couldn't help but sigh. Previously, it was precisely because of her father's persuasion that she married Lin Shude.

Seeing that Lin Xin'er had left, the Qin family looked hesitant as they said: "Mother, I don't know if I should tell you something. The child's father secretly told me yesterday. Originally, I shouldn't have said it, but when I thought about it, nothing could escape my mother's eyes.

"What is it? Just say it. " The Yang family was puzzled.

"Third brother is getting along well with the widow Liu of the Wang Family Village. Last night, when the father went to look for the book, he ran into Widow Liu loitering at the west end of our village. The father was afraid that something would happen to her, so he told her to hurry home, but she cried for a while, saying that she only wanted to see the rich, and begged the wealthy to give her a few words, and marry her off."

"What?" Startled, the copper mirror dropped from Yang Shi's hand.

"Widow Liu wants to marry into our family. The father persuaded her for a long time, and said that the rich have wives, they can't marry another wife, but Widow Liu firmly believed that the rich could marry into a concubine, so she agreed."

"Why didn't Jiawang tell me? This is a small matter, you can't hide it even if you want to. If that Widow Liu continues to cause trouble, it will cause our Lin Family to lose face. We'll have to wait for your father to finish talking and see what we can do. I have also seen the Widow Liu from the Wang Family Village once. She looks like a seductress from the way she dressed, and her words and appearance are a hundred times better than Mrs. Zhao's, but she's a dead man. Yang Shi said angrily.

When née Qin saw that Mistress Yang was angry, she advised, "Mother, don't be anxious, no matter what, you have to ask third brother for his opinion. If third brother is willing, and the little widow is willing to be a child, why don't you ask the family for help. I heard that the little widow is still young and can raise a few more children.

"You sure are kind-hearted to speak up for him. Let's talk about rich families after your father finishes what he wants to do. They've already been doing this for more than a day or two, so they don't care about these few days." Yang Shi said angrily.

When née Qin saw this, she gritted her teeth and said, "That little widow is happy."

"What?" Startled, Mistress Yang quickly stood up and grabbed her hands. She coldly glared at née Qin and asked, "Repeat what you said just now."

She said in a low voice: "Yesterday night, after the child's father forced her to tell the truth, Widow Liu was already pregnant. She thought that the child in her womb belongs to our Lin Family, so she could not marry into Xilin Village. If she died, she would die in our village, and at least she married into a rich family."

"He has been beaten a thousand times. Normally, he looks honest and honest, but he caused such a commotion, causing the widow's stomach to swell. If the Wang family were to find out, would he still be alive?" Mistress Yang was so angry that she couldn't even breathe. She staggered to the bed and leaned against the window. She looked at Madam Qin and said, "You go out first. Let me think about how I should explain this to your father."

Née Qin lowered her head and responded, a smile flashing in her eyes.

Mrs Zhao thought that she had wisely annulled the marriage in the capital, and her daughter did not know when to stop, so she spoke so arrogantly. Now, it was a good thing that the Lin Family was having an affair with a widow, and the widow even got pregnant with a child. It was truly a good show.
