After the separation, my wardrobe is modern

Chapter 12 If the milk annoys you, you will die!
In the past, Lin Erlai and their father had a good relationship, because they had been married for many years and had no children, so they loved Lin Xiaoman and brother as if they were their own children.

When Lin Erhu was young, Lin Erlai often ran around the village on his shoulders.

Last year's earthquake took the lives of their parents, Erlai's aunt, and Erlai's uncle's leg.

Now only Erlai's aunt and son are left in the family, relying on a little land planted by Erlai's mother and assistance from the clan for a living.

It's just that the siblings didn't have copper coins for wages, so they went to Erlai Niang to discuss it.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Er Lai Niang sitting in the yard in a daze, Lin Xiaoman asked, "Fourth Grandma, where is my Er Lai Uncle?"

The fourth grandma sighed, "I went to see your second aunt early in the morning."

Although my aunt has not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for many years, the relationship between the husband and wife has always been so good that others are envious. Lin Xiaoman can only sigh when he heard this, "My family has collected a lot of mushrooms these days, and they can't sell them all at once. I want to ask someone to dry the mushrooms, and help me settle the bill with salt by the way. I can’t trust others, so I come to the fourth grandma for help, and I will pay the fourth grandma.”

When the fourth grandma heard this, a little smile appeared on her sad face, "What did you say to the fourth grandma that the wages are not paid? The fourth grandma and your second uncle can't do anything else. Now that the farm work is done, let me show you some mushrooms." Why not? If you raise wages again, Grandma Fourth will be in a hurry with you."

Lin Xiaoman didn't dare to mention it anymore. The siblings only had the two hundred Wen when they separated. Since the fourth grandma refused to take it, she would send more food and clothes bought there.

It won't be long before it gets cold, and Hedong Village is located in the bitter cold north, and there are no cotton-padded quilts over there.

Rich people use silk as stuffing for winter clothes and quilts, while poor people can only use straw, straw and reeds for stuffing.

Lin Xiaoman thought of the quilts and cotton clothes she saw in the supermarket yesterday. Although they felt light to the touch, they were warm to the touch. When she and Lin Erhu bought them in a few days, they also bought two for the fourth grandma. send over.

"Well, I will tell them later that I will send all the mushrooms to my fourth grandma in the future, and I will send the salt later, a basket of mushrooms and a jar of salt, and the salt will be full. "

The fourth grandma agreed, and Lin Xiaoman went back to fetch the salt. She unpacked the salt and poured it into a cloth bag. There were fifty bags in each bag. She carried two bags in total, and she also brought a small jar for weighing salt.

The fourth grandma opened the bag and saw the fine white salt inside, and exclaimed, "Xiao Man, where did you buy the salt? It's much better than the ones sold in the city. A jar of salt costs hundreds of dollars, right?"

Lin Xiaoman dared not say that she bought the salt for almost a penny, so she could only make up: "I went to the city with Erhu before, and I bought a few bags when I met merchants from other places selling salt. The fourth grandma also knew that the court did not It is allowed to sell private salt, and we bought it secretly, and the price is not that expensive, about [-] yuan a jar."

The fourth grandma shook her head, "A basket of mushrooms won't sell much in the city, you'll pay for a basket of salt!"

Lin Xiaoman smiled coyly, "It's okay, but I can't pay it. Fourth grandma, where's your salt jar? I'll make a jar for you first."

"That won't work. You are using it for business. How can you use it for me?"

"Fourth grandma won't accept my salt, and I'm too embarrassed to ask fourth grandma to do white work for me."

The fourth grandma couldn't hold back Lin Xiaoman, because the family really didn't have any salt. These days, she drank wild vegetable porridge every day, and she didn't have any strength.In the end, seeing that Lin Xiaoman filled a jar of salt for her, he didn't refuse.

After returning home, Lin Xiaoman agreed with the villagers that any more mushrooms would be delivered to the fourth grandma's house, and the salt would also be collected there.

Once passed on one, ten to a hundred, the house was finally quiet again, and the siblings could go there to sell mushrooms with peace of mind.

Hedong Village has picked enough thorn cones, and no longer worries about how to survive this winter, but several nearby villages do not work together like Hedong Village.

After hearing about the fact that Hedong Village went up to the mountain to pick thorn balls, before the Lizheng of each village or the patriarchs of the clan organized people to go up the mountain, people had already flocked to the mountain to pick thorn balls. The patriarch Lizheng thought We must stop these red-eyed people.

During this period, there were several fights caused by scrambling for the thorn ball forest, and people were injured by smashing thorn balls almost every day.

The most serious thing was in Yaojia Village. Two families who hadn't yet issued five uniforms directly used knives and slashed two people. Fortunately, no one was killed, and the government was not alerted.

When the people surnamed Lin in Hedong Village heard about this incident, they all started to feel scared.

In a disaster year, everyone is afraid that their family will starve to death. If there is no patriarch Lin Daqiang to organize the villagers to go up the mountain together, transport them down the mountain and divide them according to their heads, that kind of thing might happen in Hedong Village.

Early in the morning, people from Yaojia Village came, and Yao Sancheng, the younger brother of the auntie Yao, sent a basket of eggs.It is said that fortunately, the brother-in-law went to report the news early in the morning, and the family went to the mountain to pick thorn balls three days earlier than other people's homes.

By the time everyone else went up the mountain, their family had already stockpiled more than 1000 catties of thorn cones.

Mrs. Lin heard that the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes. She said, "How do other villages know that our villagers go to the mountains to pick thorns? It turns out that our family has spies. It's not that the eldest daughter-in-law is thinking about her mother's family, our village has to How much more?"

Yao Sancheng couldn't hold back what he said. He obviously wanted to use the excuse of gratitude to visit his sister, and to reassure her about her mother's family. She also sent eggs. Why did the old lady's taste change?

When leaving, Mrs. Yao wanted to get some mushrooms that had been sun-dried these days for his younger brother. The mushrooms from other people’s homes were exchanged for salt at Lin Xiaoman’s. Their family couldn’t be ashamed, so the mushrooms they picked had to be dried and eaten at home.

"This girl is really well-raised. After being married for so many years, she still misses her mother's family. I don't have such a good life!"

"Sister, these things are all over the mountains and fields. If you want to eat them, let's go to the mountains to pick them up. You can keep them at home to eat." Yao Sancheng left empty-handed angrily, vowing never to enter Lao Lin's house again.

Yao Shi chased them out, and didn't give any more mushrooms to his younger brother, but whispered, "Xiaoman and Erhu trade salt for mushrooms, and when you go back, let your family members go up the mountain to pick them, and bring them over to exchange salt with their siblings."

Yao Sancheng's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but he heard from his brother-in-law that the idea of ​​picking thorn cones was from that sister and brother.In the past, I always heard that my sister-in-law was the best at cooking when she was alive. No matter what they collect mushrooms for, it is always good to change some salt.

When Mrs. Yao came back, the old lady was pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai in the yard.

Yao Shi wanted to quarrel with her, but Lin Goudan pulled his sleeves and persuaded in a low voice: "Mother, don't quarrel with grandma, if grandma annoys you, you will die!"

After hearing this, Yao shi remembered that night the old man ran all over the yard looking for someone who listened to the window root in a panic, "Tell mother, did you hear something?"

"It's just what my grandma said. My second aunt was dragged over to block the beam of the house by my grandma, so she was crushed to death."

After hearing what her son said, it was clearly broad daylight, so she couldn't help shivering.

In the past, the old lady opened her mouth and shut it because of her second daughter-in-law. The second daughter-in-law's family was rich, and she was willing to spend money on her. She talked better than she sang, but she died without blinking?

She lived in the same yard with her parents-in-law, and she couldn't see her when she looked up. One day, the old lady didn't like her, would she really die as Lin Goudan said?

Afterwards, the auntie became more agile in her work, and she stopped talking back to the old lady. She greeted the old lady with care, and served the old lady comfortably. He wanted to take a peek at the old lady, but the more he looked at it, the more ferocious her face became.

The old lady is only the eldest daughter-in-law, and now she knows who is the real master of the family, and she feels very unhappy.

But every time I sit alone, I feel like I'm being watched.Looking at the past according to the feeling, the eldest daughter-in-law is obediently doing the work at hand.

Could it be that she is suspicious?Or was there an invisible pair of eyes staring at her?
