Reborn as a farmhouse concubine, she raises a prince and is busy farming

Chapter 8 Seeing Through Human Nature

"Dad, it's okay with me."

"It's just that my brother and sister are too young, and skipping meals often is very harmful to their bodies. Do they still expect to grow taller?"

Lin Chujiu talked about the seriousness of the matter. His younger brother wanted to go to school in the future. If the current situation continued, the old lady would definitely not take out the money.

"Our family's money is all used for my third uncle's schooling. How can there be money for us to go to school?"

At this point, Lin Wenshan was tempted.

Yes, the third brother is studying in the city, how beautiful it is.

Now that I have a child in my family who can go to school, win a prize or something, my face will also be radiant.

If Lin Hongwu is really good at studying, then he must be allowed to study even though he is selling the iron.

But it's hard to say that the old lady would get money for her grandson.

Lin Wenshan felt guilty. He had given in over and over again, causing his children to suffer.

At this time, he already had the heart to separate the family, and what his daughter said was indeed a good opportunity.

Of course Lin Chujiu could see it, but now she didn't want to force her father, but instead followed the temptation.

She knew that one hurdle that Lin Wenshan had not overcome recently was filial piety, and it was wrong to lie to the old lady.

So no matter what she said, Lin Wenshan still hesitated.

But when he thought of his children, he was tempted.

"Dad, we are having a hard time now. I think it has something to do with your honest and arrogant temperament. It is better to change it and become a big tree to protect me and my brothers and sisters."

Listening to what Lin Chujiu said, Lin Wenshan was in a daze. After a long time, he finally said:
"Jiu'er, you have become... you are a bit unrecognizable to your father. Maybe you have grown up."

After hearing this, Lin Chujiu was a little nervous.

Is Lin Wenshan doubting himself?

"Oh, it's all my father's fault."

Lin Wenshan didn't think much about it because he felt that his daughter had grown up and felt unfair at home.

Lin Chujiu breathed a sigh of relief and comforted his father:

"Let's go home first. Dad, don't blame yourself. I'm afraid Mom will be worried waiting for us at home."

She knew that this topic could not be continued, so she quickly changed the subject. Lin Wenshan did not doubt her.

In fact, even if Lin Wenshan suspected that his daughter had changed, it was nothing more than being possessed by ghosts and gods, but her current appearance didn't look like it, right?
It was already getting late, and Lin Wenshan's wife was waiting at the door.

There were no telephones in this era. She was a woman, and when her husband and daughter didn't come back, they didn't dare to go out and look for them.

I could only look at the road to the back mountain with anxious eyes, looking forward to them going home soon.

"God bless!"

Fortunately, Lin Wenshan and the others came back not long after.

Seeing her husband and daughter return safely, she happily ran over to greet them and held Lin Chujiu's hand as soon as they arrived.

"Daughter, let me see if you are injured? It's so cold, are your hands frozen? Go back to the house and rest!"

Fortunately, Lin Chujiu was okay. If there was something wrong with him, the mother would have to be killed head-on.The worry on her face did not go away, making Lin Chujiu feel a little guilty.

"Don't worry, mother, I'm just coming back a little late."

The original owner's mother was not very old, but the hand holding Lin Chujiu was very rough from years of hard work.

He looked carefully at the middle-aged woman in front of him. She was only in her early thirties, but she was wearing old clothes, which were not much better than what she was wearing.

It's just that this woman exudes a gentleness from the inside out, really like her own mother, making people feel kind and trustworthy.

Lin Chujiu was still holding a torch in her hand. Lin Wenshan took it and asked his wife to lead her into the house.

"The child is freezing outside. Go to the kitchen and make a bowl of noodle soup to warm the child up so he doesn't catch a cold."

Touching her daughter's cold little hands, Lin Wenshan's wife felt very distressed, so she nodded and sent her daughter back to the house to prepare noodles.

"Wenshan, you're cold outside too. I'll cook you a bowl later."

After letting her daughter and husband sit down in the room, the woman went to the kitchen.

On the back mountain, what Lin Chujiu said to Lin Wenshan made it difficult for Lin Wenshan to say it. How could the old lady treat her daughter so harshly, how could she say it?

So, I just pretended that it was freezing outside and ate a bowl of noodles to warm up my body. I didn't mention that I hadn't eaten in three days.

As soon as there was some noise in the kitchen, Mrs. Lin Zhang heard a sound and came out sneakily like a mouse.

"When you go out to play, you forget to come home, which makes your father worry. When you come back, you don't know how to work, you just know how to eat!" Mrs. Lin Zhang at least said nonsense that confuses right and wrong, mocking and calculating.

"What is your mother doing in the kitchen?" Lin Zhang asked Lin Chujiu, "What delicious food does your mother make for you? The whole family doesn't eat much like you, so you just know how to eat!"

As long as Lin Chujiu didn't respond, Lin Zhang kept talking.

But the child's mother didn't find anything in the kitchen. She had locked up all the good things, so she wouldn't let this girl get away with it in vain.

Hearing Lin Zhang's arrogant tone, Lin Chujiu didn't intend to argue and just let her talk about herself.

Lin Zhang felt strange that Lin Chujiu was very sharp-tongued during the day and dared to talk back to her. Why was he so honest now?
Seeing that she didn't speak, thinking that she was scared by him, Lin Zhang became even more aggressive.

Lin Wenshan, who was listening to this, became more and more angry. He couldn't help but retorted:
"Mom, what are you talking about? My girl is freezing to death in the back mountains, and when we get home, you can't even bear to give her a bowl of noodles?"

When Lin Wenshan said this, the old lady was stunned.

She didn't expect that her second son, who had always been honest and trustworthy, would dare to talk back to her?
Lin Wenshan was naturally angry.

He and his wife are not at home all year round, but every time they make money, they hand it over to the government, which means it is kept by the old lady. It can be said that they have no selfish intentions for the family.

Moreover, when farming is busy, they return home to do the crop work, and they are also the main force in the fields.

As the most hard-working members of the family, the eldest brother and third brother's rich appearance is simply not comparable to theirs.

Isn't it because he is so hard-working and dedicated that he can live a good life for his family?But in the end, I wanted to give my daughter a bowl of noodles, but I was treated like this. Is there any justice?

Listening to an old lady saying such harsh and sarcastic words to a little girl, Lin Wenshan felt more and more chilled, as if he was not from this family.

He dared to say this in front of himself, but he didn't know how to treat his daughter harshly when he was not around.

Lin Chujiu covered his stomach tightly with his hands, as if he had abdominal pain after not eating for a long time, and then lowered his eyes.

"Dad, you don't have to worry about me, I'm not hungry yet. Children get hungry slowly, and it's okay to skip a few meals."
