Chapter 3 Uncle Lin

The original grandfather, Mr. Lin, who has passed away, has two sons.

The eldest son is honest and responsible, practical and diligent, while the younger son is just the opposite, idle and not doing his job properly.

The old man thought about marrying a powerful wife to take care of his youngest son.

Unexpectedly, the youngest daughter-in-law is amazing, but she is lazy.

The children born by the two are even worse than the other.

Cough, that's right, the unreliable youngest son is the original father.

Closer to home, I guess he was afraid that the youngest son would drag down the elder son's family, so when the old man left, he cruelly separated the family for the two brothers.

But he didn't expect that Papa Lin was so thick-skinned that he didn't eat in the same pot anymore, and even brought a whole family to suck blood from his elder brother...

Lin Baobao walked into the main room.

Sitting on the ground, Mrs. Feng cried for her own life, and that Uncle Lin was so cruel that he wanted to force his niece Yunyun to death.

Uncle Lin leaned on his grandson Sanzhu, pointing at Mrs. Feng tremblingly, unable to say a word.

When Feng found her, he cried even harder, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Lin Baobao sighed in his heart. With such a bunch of bad relatives, Uncle Lin is the one who should be wronged, right?

Uncle Lin also has only two sons. The eldest son learned a carpentry craft from a teacher when he was young.

Although the youngest son has no handicrafts, he will take the four grandchildren of the family to the town to help others, and he can earn more than ten yuan a day.

Several women in the family make some dishes or eggs to sell in the town from time to time.

The whole family is hard-working, if not for the bottomless pit of the original owner, Uncle Lin's family could have lived a prosperous life.

"Mother, you get up first." Lin Baobao pulled Feng Shi up, turned to greet Uncle Lin: "Uncle and Sanzhu are here."

Uncle Lin: "Why didn't you rest in the room when you just woke up?"

"I'm all right."

Feng tugged on Lin Baobao's sleeve.

Girl, why are you being polite if you don't cry with me?
"Mom, I'm a little thirsty, can you help me pour a bowl of water?"

Feng: ...

After leaving the Feng family, Lin Baobao asked Sanzhu to help Uncle Li sit down before he said, "Uncle came here for Sanzhu's dowry?"

Uncle Lin had a look of shame on his face: "I didn't know that you and the child of the Gu family had written a marriage letter...you can live a good life with him in the future."

Thinking of the niece's obsession with the Xiao family's child, she persuaded her earnestly: "Gu Shi is a good person. If Gu Dalang hadn't gone, and the Gu family was headed by a stepmother who refused to continue to support his education, he would have long ago..."

Don't look at the snow in front of your own house, but worry about the frost on other people's roofs.

It's no wonder that this good old man's temperament will be eaten to death by his younger brother's family.

Lin Baobao asked straightforwardly: "How much is the dowry?"

Uncle Lin was taken aback, and waved his hand: "Don't worry about this, Uncle can figure it out on his own."

"Three pillars, tell me."

Sanzhu glanced at Uncle Lin, gritted his teeth, and said, "The dowry cost eight taels, and the family saved ten taels of silver, but Second Mistress is leaving six taels this morning..."

Feng rushed out and slammed the bowl on the table: "What are you doing? I've spent all my money, and you really want to force Bao'er to be divorced?"

Hmph, only if you have ten taels of silver, you can pick and swish and give her six taels.

Among them, five taels were spent on her son-in-law, and with her own savings, the funeral cost less than two taels, and she felt that she had lost her daughter.

Sanzhu blushed, angry and ashamed.

"Mother, Uncle and Sanzhu didn't mean that." Baobao Lin reasoned with her: "What if Gu Shi doesn't want to reconcile?"

You can't force the bull's head to drink water.

"Why don't you want to? My daughter is so good, as long as he's not blind..." Feng couldn't continue, and said arrogantly: "I don't care if he wants to, the marriage letter has been written, there is no reason why he doesn't want to."

"Twisted melons are not sweet."

"How do you know it's not sweet if you haven't twisted it?"

Uncle Lin stood up suddenly: "Is he awake? I'll ask."

……

Lin Baobao originally thought that Gu Shi wanted to go back home, but Uncle Lin happened to be short of money, and the two hit it off right away.

With her on the sidelines, this matter can be solved perfectly.

Unexpectedly, when Uncle Lin came out, the first thing he said to Mrs. Feng was: "There is still one year left for Gu Shi's filial piety, and you can't force him to consummate the house with Xiao Liu in this year."

Lin Baobao:? ? ?

"Also, Gu Dalang is the only son of Gu Shi, and the first child of him and Xiao Liu has to be named Gu."

Well, even the dolls came out.

Does she have at least two children?

No, it's all here!

When Lin Baobao shook off the inappropriate thoughts in his head, Feng Shi was already standing at the gate of the courtyard with a big smile on his face to see him off.

"Uncle, come and sit at home some other day."

Lin Baobao raised his foot and chased him out.

"Bao'er, where are you going?"

"I'll see my uncle off, and I'll be right back."

"Is there anything I can give you?" Mrs. Feng was a little apprehensive, and turned to the yard and shouted: "Mr. Zhao, you three are going to die. If you don't cook, you want to starve to death, don't you?"

……

"Three days? Where did you get so much money?" Uncle Lin felt that Xiao Liu in front of him was different, but he couldn't tell the specific difference.

"Anyway, I will find a way to let the matchmaker speak to the woman."

Worrying that Uncle Lin would chatter again, Baby Lin walked back after finishing speaking.

After walking a few steps, he stopped: "It's not unreasonable for my eldest brother to be idle every day. This year, my family's land will not bother my cousins ​​and nephews. Tomorrow, I will drive them to work in the field."

At the beginning, their second room was allocated five acres of paddy fields, but Lin Dalang was so lazy that he didn't take care of them at all. The food collected in the first year of separation was almost not enough to pay taxes.

Uncle Lin couldn't stand it anymore, so he just helped to grow it. This kind has been around for more than ten years.

Of course, the five mu of grain is not enough for their family, and Uncle Lin has to contribute a lot of it every year.

Contributing money and effort, what the injustice said was that Uncle Lin didn't run away.

When Lin Baobao got home, he went to Feng Shi and asked for two clothes of Lin Wulang.

After returning to the house, he threw the clothes to Gu Shi: "You change them first."

Gu Shi paused, and the corners of his pretty mouth moved slightly. He wanted to say something, but in the end only two words came out: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The matter started because of her, the other party chose to stay, and Lin Baobao couldn't do anything to drive her away.

As for why the other party changed his mind, Lin Baobao didn't ask, and he couldn't have fallen in love with her after all.

She turned around and rummaged through the closet, pulled out all the clothes that were more than [-]% new, folded them and packed them.

Thinking of something, I looked up, and sure enough, I saw a box on top of the wardrobe.

It's a pity that it's too high, and she couldn't reach it several times.

Just as he was about to move a stool, a hand stretched out from the side.

Only then did Baobao Lin realize that Gu Shi was a full head taller than her body.

In a few more years, it will not be a problem to jump to 1.8 meters.

It's just that he is too thin, and the clothes fit him loosely.

Lin Baobao was afraid that he might not be able to hold it steady: "How about I support you a little?"

Gu Shi glanced at her.

Lin Baobao stopped talking.

The box was quite heavy, so Baobao Lin took it and put it on the table. When he opened it, he saw a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, a silver hairpin with rough workmanship.

These are all the dowry prepared by the original body for marrying Xiao Yuanming.

She put away the silver hairpin again, and packed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone together with the clothes.

"Oh, old man, where did you fall?" Feng's exclamation came again from the yard.

Lin Baobao's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at Gu Shi.

No way?
