Dressed as an evil mother-in-law, I will clean up and take the whole family away

Chapter 46 The huge sum of money in the wooden box
  Lao Ma couldn't wait to get past Lin Ling and enter the house. When he saw that the old mother in the house was still breathing with her eyes open, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and closed the door when he came out.

"Thank you, ma'am."

He said these four words very seriously, with tears in his eyes.

Mrs. Liu had been taking care of her mother-in-law, so naturally she knew that her mother-in-law could continue to hold on even though her body was at the end of its strength, which made her admire Lin Ling even more, and an idea came into her mind.

"You should, let's eat. I'm so tired." Lin Ling rubbed his sore wrist and pretended to be soothing in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, I can still hold on for a few days. By the way, we are so far away, how can we still do it?" not here?"

If you come in a carriage, you can cover thousands of miles in half a month, right?
  Lao Ma sighed: "It's far away, one to the north and one to the south, and her old man's health is not very good. If there hadn't been news some time ago, I'm afraid..."

The two old men only thought that the other was dead.

Although he didn't finish his words, he could feel the regret in it.

Lin Ling did not continue to ask. She looked at the radish stewed pig's trotters and fried pork liver on the table. After licking her dry lips and giving Xiaosi a square piece of lean meat, she asked: "Why don't you have children?" ah?"

Lao Ma's eating movements froze, and then he quickly smiled and said: "My problem, it's good like this."

"it's me."

Ms. Liu clenched her chopsticks tightly and was moved to tears: "It has always been my problem. He lied about his illness in order to prevent me from being poked in the spine. Mrs. Gu, I know you have superb medical skills, but I don't know Can you take a look for me?"

She had wanted to ask for a long time.

Lin Ling nodded and watched as the person stretched out his hand to feel her pulse.

"I caught a cold when I was a child and it became clogged over time. It can be cured, but it requires acupuncture and medicine to be treated together, and the effect is very little."

In other words, you may not be able to get pregnant.

But with just a little hope, Liu also wanted to try: "I want to cure it."

"Then I'll grab the medicine tomorrow and let Master Ma bring it back." Lin Ling agreed happily and continued to cook.

The little man was beside her, his eyes always glued to his mother, smiling cheerfully.

"I won't say thank you for your kindness." Lao Ma is not a person who doesn't understand the world. Seeing Lin Ling's dedication, he promised: "Madam, don't worry, Pan Rui has me in Cheng's house. He is strong and endures hardships." , I am very appreciated by Shopkeeper Cheng. Although I am still taking care of the horses now, I promise it will not last long."

"Then I'll take tea instead of wine and thank the master."

"You're welcome. I should thank you. I respect you."

The two of them went back and forth.

After eating, Master Ma sent the two of them home.

On the carriage, Xiaosi stared at his mother with bright eyes.

"What's wrong? You keep staring at me." Lin Ling rubbed the child's head, put him on his knees and sat down.

Xiaosi's eyes were full of light: "Mom, when you treat illnesses and save people, your body is filled with light, it's so dazzling."

"what?"

Lin Ling's mind automatically imagined what she looked like when she was emitting light. What did she look like, a Bodhisattva?

Sin, sin, sin, she can't compare!

"I think Mom is so amazing. Will Xue'er be so awesome in the future?" Xiaosi only thought that she had talent before and that she should learn a skill. Or maybe she wanted to please Mom, make money, etc. There are some reasons, but they don’t really want to cure diseases and save people.

But now, she also wants to be looked at with admiration and respect.

"Xue'er will be even more powerful when meeting your mother in the future."

Unknowingly, Lin Ling planted a seed in the child's heart.

All the way home, Master Ma gave Xiaosi a wooden box, saying it was candy. Xiaosi shook it and saw that it was indeed candy, so he happily accepted it.

Lin Ling didn't think much about it. After watching the carriage leave, she turned around and entered the house.

"Mom, it's silver." Xiao Si walked behind and shouted. She opened the wooden box and saw that there was nothing but silver.

Lin Ling took it and estimated that there were at least five taels!
  It was too much, even the medical fee was too much. Lin Ling put the silver into the wooden box. Seeing Xiaosi's disappointed look, she smiled and said, "Tomorrow's mother will buy it for you."

"Yeah." Xiaosi immediately beamed, rushed into the main room and said to the third brother: "Third brother, we will have candies to eat tomorrow!"

The third child said oh, not very interested. He is not a child anymore and still likes to eat sweets.

The gambling houses were closed, and Mr. Zhang ordered no more gambling houses to be opened anywhere. If one was caught, it would be twenty big boards.

Ten strokes of a stick can beat Brother Biao half to death, let alone his small physique?
  Lin Ling just glanced at him and then sat next to Li Wuniang. Seeing her daughter-in-law's body tensing up and looking at him out of the corner of her eye, she pushed her face with her hands and was so numb from laughter.

"The show is looking for an embroiderer. How is your embroidery doing?"

Mother wants to go by herself?
  Li Wuniang replied obediently: "I'll go get it and show it to my mother."

She put down the bowls and chopsticks and ran to the room. After rummaging for a while, she only found the purse she had embroidered for her husband when they first got married. She rubbed the mandarin duck embroidered stitch by stitch with her fingertips. Thinking of how she had stayed up all night to embroider, she smiled bitterly. .

Inside was picked Jiuli Xiang, which has long since become tasteless.

It seems that her solitary courage has long been worn away by training.

When Lin Ling got it, she nodded: "It's not bad. There should be someone who can teach me when I go to Xiufang. Twenty coins a day, will you go?"

"go."

Earning money was better than staying in the yard all day, so Li Wuniang worried that she would be useless and eventually be sold.

"Okay, come with me tomorrow." Lin Ling stood up, but didn't see any light in the second child's room, and asked, "The second child didn't come back?"

The third child answered: "Second brother said he stayed to help find evidence and won't be back for a few days. Mom, you are all out, why don't you find something for me to do?"

He doesn't want to be targeted by his mother and become the most idle person in the family and the one who is most likely to be scolded.

I thought my mother would praise him for being sensible.

Lin Ling just said: "When your second brother comes back, I will teach you how to read and write. When your elder brother and I pay our wages next month, you will go to school with your second brother."

"Well, I will definitely study hard!"

The third child promised to go quickly.

Lin Ling nodded and took Xiao Si back to the room.

Xiao Si memorized it by herself, and when she encountered something she forgot, Lin Ling reminded her in time, supplemented it, and used more clever and simple methods to make her remember it.

The third child listened to the sounds in the room, and then looked at the sister-in-law who was starting to practice in the main room. The eldest brother and the second brother who were not at home had their own things to do... Is mother angry because of what happened between him and Hu Ao?
  He must be angry, otherwise why would he ignore me?
  He had to find a way to make his mother happy.

Thinking of something, he walked out of the yard.

The next day.

Li Wuniang made breakfast. Except for the third child, they were nowhere to be seen. After eating, they went to the door.

Without waiting for too long, Lao Ma came in a carriage: "Good morning."

"Don't be like this next time. If you distinguish it so clearly, I won't be able to talk so much in the future." Lin Ling stuffed the wooden box back.

Lao Ma sighed and had to accept it.
