C5 One for the Marry

The Qin family replied coldly, "I don't understand either."

"Eldest Sis has seen a lot in the town. If Eldest Sis doesn't understand, then I'm afraid there won't be anyone who understands." Madam Zhou said ingratiatingly. Taking advantage of the fact that she wasn't too tired, she gave a look to the Qin family.

Seeing Madame Zhou's appearance, née Qin knew she had something she wanted to ask of her, so she hesitated and decided to follow. She was afraid that Mrs Zhou wouldn't have any good intentions, so she didn't want to be evasive, so she decided to make dinner. After thinking for a while, she made up her mind and allowed her to go and look, then said to her second daughter, "Send that box of peach pastry to your grandmother."

Lin Tao'er curled her lips in displeasure.

née Qin stopped, looking at Lin Tao'er with a serious expression.

Even if Lin Tao'er didn't agree, she could only reluctantly go to the east wing when she saw that her mother was angry.

After Lin Tao'er left for a few steps, née Qin raised her hand to stroke her hair and slowly said: "Since you said it, it's not good if I don't go. If I do, what happens to dinner?"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Madam Zhou's face brightened. When she finished listening, her smile disappeared and turned cold. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the Qin family's last sentence. With a "pfft" sound, Madame Zhou laughed and said, "You must be worried about this, my third eldest sister-in-law is here, how can you let him do it himself!" Turning his head, he looked at the mother and daughter of the Zhao family behind him and said with a roll of his eyes: "Third Elder's Wife, take your two darned girls and have dinner ready."

He enthusiastically pulled née Qin into the west wing.

"Stupid girl!" Lin Xin'er muttered to herself, "So all the girls in our Lin Family are dead girls. That Big Sister Xing'er, Big Sister Tao'er, Big Sister Guo'er, Little Sister Sis Si'er, they are all dead girls!" Aunt Yue Hua and Aunt Silver Flower, too? "

She quickly covered her mouth with one hand and pulled Lin Xin'er into the woodshed with the other, laughing as she said softly, "You can't let grandma hear this. If grandma knew that you were scolding Eldest Aunt and Eldest Aunt, she would tie you up in the cherry tree in the backyard and starve you for three days and three nights."

Lin Xin'er nodded her head seriously.

Lin Yu'er lifted her hand to stroke Lin Xin'er's fair hair and said with a pained heart: "Our little sister is getting thinner and thinner, what should we do?" This time, I will give birth to a big fat boy, and when we return home at the full moon, I will be happy, and I will definitely bring a whole lamb for us. "

Lin Xin'er didn't have any impression of her little sister-in-law in her mind, so she couldn't find the right words to say.

With a hoarse voice, she said, "Go to the backyard and take a look. Pick some vegetables; your Fourth Uncle has been too used to it in the county. The food must be good, there's no meat in the dishes, and your Fourth Uncle won't be able to eat it. Yu Er, go get some pork from your grandmother."

"Mom, I don't dare to go." Lin Yu'er whispered.

"Mom, I'll go." Lin Xin'er volunteered.

"You can't go!" She put down the leaves she was holding and said to Lin Yu'er, "Your fourth aunt is also in the room. Your grandmother wanted to scold you, but it wouldn't be good for her to scold you in front of your fourth aunt.

Lin Yu'er reluctantly answered.

Seeing that her eldest daughter had agreed, Mrs Zhao was relieved and began to busy herself. She quickly picked up the big iron pot and walked to the water jar by the door of the main house. She filled the pot with water and carried it to the woodshed.

Finding the basket, Lin Yu'er said to Lin Xin'er who was still standing on the spot: "Little sister, what are you looking at?" Let's go to the backyard to pick vegetables. Grandma's going to scold us again for being too slow in cooking later on. "

"If she thinks it's slow, then she'll do it herself!" Lin Xin'er reported the injustice as she muttered.

Lin Yu'er laughed: "You can't complain anymore, we have to resign ourselves to our fate, we are just girls, it might be better if we married someone!"

The last sentence had some meaning to it.

Bypassing the west wing was the way to the backyard. When they arrived at the west wing, the two of them did their best to walk quietly. Lin Guo'er's voice faintly came from inside the house.

Aunt, in the future when I marry into the capital, I will definitely give you half of my family property. I definitely won't mistreat Big Sister Xing'er and Little Sister Tao'er, and I will find them a noble son to be their husband. And Big Brother Shu Tian and Big Brother Shu Cheng, they are naturally as they wish.

"Sister-in-law, Guo'er, this child, has an honest heart and is only interested in helping us out. Unlike Xin'er, that damned girl, who doesn't know what's good for her, Guo'er knows how to repay favors and offers her a bowl of meat. She will give her ten bowls of meat, but she will have to keep that bowl of meat before she can think of a way to return it. "Guo'er knows her place and is very smart. Wherever she goes, everyone praises her!"

Silence.

Eldest Sister-in-Law, our Lin Family, I admire you the most, acting like a lady, and I envy you the most. Eldest Brother dotes on you, and refused to take a concubine, and our mother has mentioned her mother's niece a few times, but Eldest Brother didn't agree with her.

"Does Fourth Bro know that he's raising wild women outside? When her parents were dead, the women outside would be carried out into the open. Eldest sister-in-law, you are very capable. You just need to say a few words to elder brother and this will be done. "Sister-in-law, please tell me if you can or not!"

Lin Xin'er, who was squatting under the window eavesdropping, was dragged away by Lin Yu'er.

"You're getting bolder and bolder, you actually dare to eavesdrop. If second aunt discovers you, she'll beat you to death." Lin Yu'er said with lingering fear, her mind still replaying the news of her fourth uncle raising a wild woman.

It was obvious that the two of them were eavesdropping. Lin Xin'er was about to tease her when she saw that Lin Yu'er's ears were red and her head was almost buried in her chest. Thinking of what Madame Zhou had said, this ancient girl was very conservative.

In the backyard.

Lin Xin'er looked up and saw the high and low green leaves shining brightly in the sunlight. She reached out her hand and plucked a slender green pepper, touching its smooth surface with an excited feeling in her heart. This was an inorganic vegetable! In modern times, the inorganic vegetables in supermarkets were very expensive. She had never been willing to buy them.

"Xin Er, what are you doing? That pepper hasn't turned red yet, why did you take it off already?" "If Grandma sees this, she's going to scold us again." Lin Yu'er quickly grabbed the chili peppers and squatted down. She dug a small hole in the ground with her hands and buried the chili peppers. She also picked up some fallen leaves and covered the soil with them.

Lin Xin'er's eyes were filled with doubt.

Lin Yu'er stood up and rubbed the dirt off her hands. She looked around and seeing that there was no one around, she whispered, "Xin'er, after you fell into the well this time, you changed into a different person. Tell me, what happened?"

Discovered?

Lin Xin'er's face was full of grievance as she said, "Big Sister, my mind doesn't seem to be working. Can't you remember anything?" I don't know what's going on, but Mom said it was because she had frozen her brain in the well water, so tell me, is that right? "

Sigh, what I saw in such a pitiful manner must have caused my brain to shatter. Don't be sad yet, Big Sis will tell you what you forgot. Lin Yu'er consoled him.

Lin Xin'er nodded in agreement.

However, he felt a little apologetic in his heart. He couldn't have deceived Lin Yu'er just now. After all, no one would believe him when he crossed over to another world. Besides, it was good enough for him to be heard by the Yang family.

Lin Xin'er let out a light sigh as she looked at the lush greenery. Standing there with her head down, with her left hand holding a worn-out basket and her right hand picking out eggplant, giving off a warm and gentle feeling under the warm sunlight, Lin Xin'er could not help but stare blankly. This was the first time she actually had a beautiful illusion.

After the basket was filled to the brim with vegetables, Lin Yu'er walked to Lin Xin'er's side with a smile and said: "Today there are many people in the family, and the vegetables picked are a little more than usual. Only the pork is missing, I'll go get some pork for Grandmother, you carry the vegetable basket over to Mother." After she finished speaking, she seemed to be a little worried, so she whispered into Lin Xin'er's ears, "Don't ever eavesdrop on the matters of second uncle's family. It's better to not cause too much trouble and let second uncle find out.

"Elder sister, I understand." Lin Xin'er smiled.

As the backyard was behind the main house, Lin Yu'er took the shortcut and headed to the main house. Lin Xin'er returned from her original path. When she arrived outside the woodshed, she saw the Zhao Family anxiously welcoming her. She anxiously asked, "My little ancestor, did you guys pick a dish for so long?"

"Mom, Big Sister picked the dishes by herself." Lin Xin'er explained.

"Your sister has always been slow at work, why don't you help her? It's not like I'm asking you to go play. Hurry up and wash these dishes. " Mrs Zhao instructed while she washed the cucumbers and cut them into pieces on the chopping board.

Lin Xin'er washed the dishes and placed them in a porcelain bowl. Seeing Mrs Zhao's hands and feet were in a fluster, she wanted to help. She knew that in ancient times, there was no skinning knife, and she took the kitchen knife to peel the eggplant.

Mrs Zhao coincidentally saw it in the blink of an eye and asked: "What are you doing?"

"Peeling eggplant."

"Whose eggplant are you going to peel?"

Mrs Zhao took the eggplant from Lin Xin'er's hand and said: "Little girl, what's wrong with you? "How can you peel eggplants? Also, you can't peel off the eggplant root either. It's edible too."

Picking up the eggplant and putting it on the chopping board, Mrs Zhao mumbled, "You fell into the well once and your cold water froze your brain. You're already stupid, now you're even more stupid. Just help me light the fire. Don't do anything else for now."

"Alright."

Lin Xin'er responded and squatted on the ground. She imitated Mrs Zhao's actions just now as she filled the pot with firewood.

Mrs Zhao took advantage of the fact that Lin Yu'er had yet to bring the pork to her, and fried a plate of cucumber and tofu first with chili, only then did she see Lin Yu'er walk over with a small bowl in her hands, her eyes red.

"What's wrong?" Did your grandmother scold you again? " Mrs Zhao asked in a low voice.

Lin Yu'er placed the bowl on the chopping board and nodded. "Grandmother is being too angry today. Fourth Aunt is accompanying me, so she didn't dare to say anything out loud. Little Sister Tao'er put down the dessert and went back to her own room. When I came back, my grandmother was having a snack. "

"Just a few curses and you won't lose a single piece of meat." Zhao took out a piece of pork from her bowl and said to herself, "Stir-fry an eggplant, fry a bean, fry a celery, and fry a rape. It's a good six dishes after all.

Lin Yu'er then carried the two dishes to the house.

Just as she was about to leave, Madam Zhou walked into the woodshed and said with a fake smile, "Third brother's wife, how many dishes are you cooking today? "Everyone's almost here. No matter what, we still need eight dishes. If you have enough help, I'll help you with it."
