C9 False Depression

Old man Lin looked at Lin Jia Fu with a pair of cold eyes and said: "Call out Xin'er, I would like to ask, where is Cheng?"

Lin Jia Fu hadn't made a move yet.

The Qin family had already grabbed onto Lin Xin'er's clothes and forcefully pulled her out of the room. They cried, "Father, this girl harmed Shu Cheng. She definitely knows where the book is, so she won't say anything."

"You're just a little girl with such vicious thoughts. How could you harm your brother when you grow up? What's the point in waiting until you grow up and implicate our family to follow you to the death sentence." Lin Jia Wang's eyes were spitting fire.

Lin Xin'er didn't say a word, her face full of honesty.

Lin Xin'er turned her body to the side and ran to the front of Lin Jia Han: "Grandfather, we haven't found Big Brother Shu Cheng yet, so it's still too early. We can make up our minds when we find Big Brother Shu Cheng."

After a moment of silence, the old man from the Lin Clan finally spoke, "We need to look for the books first. Go out and look for the books first, we need all of you from around the village. Let the rich go into the town to look for them."

"It's too dark, how are we to find them? Rather than finding her own family, it would be better for the girl from the rich to tell the truth. She definitely knows where the book is located, and right now, the book is unable to return home. Lin Jia Wang glared at Lin Xin'er with murderous eyes.

"How do you know without looking?" Lin Xin'er replied. She turned to old man Lin and said, "Big Brother Shu Cheng is already seventeen years old this year. I don't think anyone can easily harm Big Brother Shu Cheng. It's best to quickly look for him."

"Tie Lin Xin'er up and go look for the books." The Qin family spoke coldly with red eyes.

"Just keep me in the house."

Old man Lin arranged for the men to go out and look for Lin Shucheng, while the women stayed at home, waiting for Lin Shucheng to return home. There was also Lin Tao'er and the Qin family.

It was the first time he had been treated as a murderer.

Lin Xin'er felt a bit flattered and flattered.

Four hours later, laughter and chatter could be heard outside the house.

From outside the south room, née Qin's wails rang out: "Shucheng."

"Mom, what happened to you?" Following the voice of a young man, a string of footsteps came closer and closer until it stopped outside the southern room's door.

"Shu Cheng, where did you go?" née Qin cried.

Lin Shucheng smiled and said, "I met a good friend and had a drink together. I came back late and caused mother to worry. I was walking to the west end of the village when I bumped into father and uncle."

"It's good that you're back." Née Qin wiped away her tears and pulled Lin Shucheng into the house.

After née Qin left, Mrs Zhao opened the door to the south room and walked in. She looked at the haggard Lin Xin'er and cried in pain: "It's useless to blame me. I only dared to bully you because I don't have the ability."

"Mom, since Big Brother Shucheng is back, everything will be fine." Lin Xin'er comforted her.

Lin Yu'er, who was following behind Mrs Zhao, closed the door and said in a low voice: "Just now, aunty scolded Xin'er, saying that Xin Er hurt Big Brother Cheng. Now that Big Brother Cheng has found her, he still hasn't come to say a word. As for Second Aunt, after Fourth Aunt's advice, she had recovered. When she heard that Brother Shu Cheng had found her, the lights in the west wing had also turned off. "

"It's over then, let's not bring it up anymore." The Zhao Family had always thought that it was better to have less trouble than less. As long as they did not interfere, this matter would end.

The south wing consisted of three rooms.

In the middle was the main house, with rooms on both sides. In the east was the Lin Family's rich and the Zhao Family's, Lin Shibai and Lin Yue-er. In the west was Lin Yue-er and Lin Xin'er.

The room was dank and dark.

In the Lin Family, Ming Xiang was one of the people who bought the oil lamp with money, but Mrs Zhao did not have a family subsidy, and the Lin Family's wealth was concentrated on farming, neither did they have any foreign money.

The work done in the farmlands was equivalent to doing nothing. The fields were owned by the family, and every year, the married harvest was handed over to Old Man Lin, who would take control of it.

The Lin Family, on the other hand, was much better. They had foreign wealth, family subsidies, and a bright oil lamp.

In the west wing of the south wing.

In the corner, half a meter high made of stone, was a thin wooden board covered with a thick pile of grass and a worn-out bed of bedding. Other than that, there was nothing else in the room.

Mrs Zhao knelt on the floor as she tidied up the bed.

"You should all go to bed early today. You must get up tomorrow morning at five o'clock. Pick up some water first and go to the fields after you've finished cooking. Tomorrow morning, your father will go down to the ground himself."

"Mom, I understand." Lin Yu'er replied.

Outside the door, there was a knock on the door. Mrs Zhao looked outside and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

"Third Bro's daughter-in-law, our parents want you to go over." née Qin shouted hoarsely.

"Sister-in-law, I understand." Mrs Zhao replied.

The sound of footsteps outside the door left.

Mrs Zhao stood up and said, "I'll go and help your grandparents sleep. You should all go to bed early. Today, Big Brother Shu Cheng is back. He's already considered extremely fortunate. If anything were to happen to him, I wouldn't let it go."

When Mrs Zhao walked out of the door, she bumped into Lin Jia Fu and Lin Shubai who were about to enter the house.

"Go and serve our parents a little earlier, don't let our eldest sister-in-law call for you again. When she calls for you, don't you feel embarrassed?" Look at what time it is. Our parents have worked hard all day and they are already tired. " Lin Jia Fu said with a bad tone.

Mrs Zhao quickly responded.

The Lin Clan member entered the house and brought Lin Jia Bai to the east side of the house to rest.

Lying on the bed with her eyes wide open, looking at the darkness before her, Lin Xin'er turned around and whispered into Lin Yu'er's ears: "Did you hear what father just said? I don't understand either. If Eldest Uncle's mother came to call my mother over, why didn't she serve my grandparents to sleep? "

"Eldest aunt lives in the town, and fourth aunt lives in the county. They don't have to wait on grandpa and grandma to sleep, so like my mom, second aunt serves grandpa and grandma to sleep day after day." Lin Yu'er softly explained.

"That's even more wrong. Eldest Uncle's Aunt has always lived in the town, and Fourth Aunt has always lived in the county. It wasn't easy for me to go back home, shouldn't you be filial?" Lin Xin'er said.

This was the first time Lin Yu'er had heard such a thing. She thought about it and felt that it made sense. "But no one dares to say it," she said softly.

Lin Xin'er fell silent.

Lin Yu'er seemed to have thought of something and reminded Lin Xin'er, "You must not speak carelessly. If you anger our first and fourth aunt, we will be the ones to suffer."

"I know."

The room immediately became quiet.

From outside the window, the intermittent sounds of cursing from the Yang family could be heard. Lin Xin'er made a sound as she sat up from the bed, "Who's cursing? I'm going out to take a look. "

Lin Yu'er quickly stood up and pulled her to her feet. "You must not go. If our grandmother isn't happy today, a few curses will be enough."

Due to Lin Yu'er's obstruction, Lin Xin'er could only lean on the cold earthen wall and prick her ears, listening to the noises outside, unconsciously clenching her hands into fists, trying her best to calm her anger. She had lived in this modern world for over twenty years, and the suffering she had suffered today was not even comparable to today's suffering.

In the darkness of the room, the sound of light breathing could be heard. Both of them were silent for a moment.

Lin Yu'er let out a long sigh and said sorrowfully, "Xin'er, our fate is not good, so we have to accept our fate. Lin Yu'er let out a long sigh and said sorrowfully," Xin'er, our fate is not good, so we have to accept our fate.

"Sis, in my heart, you are a thousand times better than Xing'er." What's so good about being a wife? To live a life of luxury and luxury, to cry every day inside a house. Wouldn't it be better to eat nothing but coarse tea and light rice, and enjoy a blissful family under the flowers and willows? " Lin Xin'er looked forward to it.

"Silly girl, how could your imagination be as good as you think? You can't laugh when you're living a life of hardship, and even if you're crying, you're crying in your stomach. Although you're crying in a house, there are a bunch of servants serving you, so you don't have to be angry, or go work in the fields." Lin Yu'er said with melancholy.

Suddenly, he heard the outer door creak. Lin Yu'er and Lin Xin'er quickly lay down and closed their eyes, pretending to sleep.

Mrs Zhao walked into the house and saw the Lin Family walked out from the east side of the house wearing a coat. She smiled and said, "Why are you up? Go back to sleep."

"Why did you make our mother angry again?" The Lin Clan's rich man said with a look of disdain.

With the help of the moonlight, she could only see the figure of the Lin Family's rich man, but she could not see his expression, she could only hear the slight annoyance in his voice. Mrs Zhao quickly closed the door and explained: "Just now Mother asked me to pour a bowl of tea, I put in the tea, and Mother got annoyed, blaming me for putting in too much tea, so she won't be able to sleep at night."

"Be careful when you do things, mom will definitely not be angry. I've already told you many times that when you do things, you have to follow the example of your fourth brother's wife. Look at her. "My mother will bring my fourth brother's wife out to visit relatives. If I bring you out to the Lin Clan, it will only bring disgrace to the Lin Clan." This afternoon, the Lin Family's rich man had been holding back his anger for a long time, and finally had a place to vent it.

Mrs Zhao stood on the spot with her back against the door. When her husband was tired, she said in a deep voice, "It's getting late. Rest early. I'll go wash our parents' clothes."

"Since you want to help your parents wash their clothes, why are you still returning to the house? His parents had instructed him to do so as soon as possible. What do you mean by dawdling? Do you want father and mother to come again and invite you? " Lin Jia Fu gritted his teeth and said.

Mrs Zhao's nose turned sour. She quickly controlled her tears and said in a low voice, "Do I want to come back and see if the two girls are asleep?"

"You still have the face to mention those two girls, you really made a fool out of me today, found a marriage and married them off. If they stay in the Lin Family and cause trouble again, I'll sell them off. We don't lack girls, but we can exchange them for silver taels if we sell ourselves off."

Mrs Zhao did not dare to say a word.

His tone was a bit better than before, and he said, "Today Fourth Brother said that Young Master Zhu Mansion wants to marry Xing'er, and before long, they will send a matchmaker to propose to us. Only Xing'er can afford to take responsibility for this marriage, and with my eldest sister-in-law's good upbringing, Xing'er and Tao'er are like the young miss of a rich family, and I can't see the appearance of a peasant girl at all."

"Thanks to little sister Silver Flower." Mrs Zhao replied.
