Chapter 48 Misunderstanding
Aunt Qiuxia stood up from the bed angrily, her face flushed red, she never thought that her husband, who has always been reasonable, would disagree, well, let’s take a step back and say that if you don’t agree, you can put it another way. The daughter is about to lose, and you directly refused when you came up, what does this make people think?How hurtful!

However, she has no choice but to get angry again. The whole son is a descendant of the Lin family. Lin Fu, the father, disagrees. She can't surpass the man in charge as a daughter-in-law, so she can only endure it and give Lin Fu a hard look. , shaking hands with anger.

Lin Fu also blurted out in a hurry, and didn't care to think about it at the time. Seeing Qiuxia trembling angrily and looking ugly at the meeting, he knew that she must have misunderstood what he meant. However, in the presence of Mrs. Li, he It's hard to say anything else, so I can only explain: "Sister-in-law, Quanzi and Dongbao are still young, only ten years old, and it's too early to get engaged at this meeting. If someone asks, we can't explain the reason."

What he didn't say is that Huang's family may not agree to this marriage, selling a granddaughter will make more money, and if they marry out and receive a dowry, how much can the farmer pay for the dowry?She still has to raise Dongbao until Dongbao gets married, and she has to pay more for the dowry.Mrs. Huang is a shrewd person. She knows what earns more, and she definitely disagrees. Selling her granddaughter at once will save trouble and earn more money.

Mrs. Li only took these words as Lin Fu's words to comfort her. She knew that the Lin family were good people, and they took care of their mother and daughter enough on weekdays, but Dong Bao was her precious daughter, and Quan Zi was even more important. The baby son of the whole family is related to the lifelong affairs of the son. If the family is unwilling, it is reasonable and cannot be forced.

"What the big brother said is that we women and others have not considered it." Li Shi nodded and said.

Aunt Qiuxia twisted Lin Fu's arm secretly angrily, "What's there to say? The mouth grows on someone else, he can say whatever he likes, why bother him so much? As long as he can keep Dongbao!"

Lin Fu gasped from being pinched, and didn't dare to say anything, he could only wink at Qiu Xia and smile bitterly, if Dong Bao and Quan Zi were really engaged, someone might hate them for being a foolish pair of parents!
The three adults were discussing matters in the East Wing, and Lin Shi took Dong Bao and Quan Zi to sit in the main room with Old Man Lin.It was gloomy outside, and the room was dimly lit. Old man Lin couldn't help shaking his head and sighing when he looked at the white and lovely Dong Bao, and said, "Old Song has been a coward all his life, and he doesn't care about his prodigal bitch! Hey, the catastrophe came in." Back then, Uncle Song and Aunt Song made a fool of themselves and chose thousands of options, but finally hired the daughter of the old Huang’s family, and regretted it to death!”

Quanzi loves listening to grandpa's stories about the past the most, so he immediately pounced on old man Lin and asked, "Master, who are Uncle Song and Aunt Song? Are they Dongbao's great-grandfather and great-grandmother?"

Old man Lin touched Quanzi's head, nodded and said, "They are Dongbao's great-grandpa and great-grandmother. I call them uncle and aunt."

"Then why did they lose sight?" Quanzi asked.

Old man Lin sighed and recalled the past, "Grandpa Song, you have been a silent gourd since you were a child. No matter what others say, he doesn't say a word. He works very hard, even if he is always bullied, he doesn't mind being bullied." Say nothing, just bear it. Dongbao's grandpa and grandma are just such a son. Your Grandpa Song doesn't have a brother to help him, so he just wants to find him a better wife who can protect him. Who would have thought that the hired one would come back The daughter-in-law is too strong, Dongbao's grandma's mouth is so fierce, ten people can't scold her, she just got married and clamored to separate the family, and don't live with Dongbao's great-grandfather and great-grandmother. Dongbao's aunt was also a quick-spoken aunt, ouch, at that time, the whole village heard the aunt and sister-in-law quarreling and scolding each other every day, which deafened people's ears!"

"What happened later?" Quanzi and Dong Bao listened intently, and Quanzi, who was nestled in Old Man Lin's arms, couldn't help asking.

Old man Lin continued: "Later...Later, Dongbao's grandpa and grandma couldn't stand it anymore, and they kept making trouble like this. There was no peace in the family, and all relatives became enemies, so they agreed to separate the family and built a house next door to our house. We live in a new house, and our two families have just become neighbors. Dongbao’s grandma is very strict with her grandfather, and she won’t let Dongbao’s grandfather go back to see her parents, and don’t send any delicious food to the old one. The Song family’s old house At the west end of the village, there have been no people living in it for decades, and the house may have died long ago.”

Quanzi murmured: "This is so bad!" Although he is not yet ten years old, he already knows how to distinguish right from wrong. The same thing is the same, that is, to be filial, to respect and love your parents, what Huang's actions are obviously has nothing to do with filial piety.

Dong Bao curled her lips. The Huang family is not filial, but always uses "filial piety" to subdue her daughter-in-law and granddaughter. She is very selfish. The descendants of the Song family, except for her father, who is a top-notch Phoenix man, are all deeply respected. The true story of Huang's selfishness.

"In the future, when I marry a daughter-in-law, I must not marry such a daughter-in-law! I want to marry someone who is good to my father and mother, but also to my grandfather and my brother!" Quanzi said angrily, clenched his fists and said loudly. Serious face.

Dong Bao, who was worrying about his future and destiny, couldn't hold back, burst out laughing, and reached out to touch Quanzi's head. A little girl who is only nine years old, do you know what it means to marry a wife?

Old man Lin was also amused by his little grandson, and lovingly hugged Quanzi and sat on his lap, and praised: "Quanzi is smart!"

Because of Quanzi's amusedness, Lin Shi's heart, which was originally cloudy, became a little more relaxed. He sat in front of Dong Bao, touched Dong Bao's head, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Dong Bao, we will all find a way. Grandma Song will sell you out. It’s really not possible..." Lin Shi made up his mind, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Aunt Qiuxia, Mrs. Li and Lin Fu coming in.

Judging from the expressions of the three adults, they were not at ease, apparently they didn't come up with any good solution.

Taking advantage of Lin Fu's presence, Dong Bao stood up from the stool and asked clearly: "Uncle Lin, I want to ask you and Grandpa Lin's opinion, if my mother and I are willing to take care of my father's funeral I don’t ask my grandma for anything about the debts, just split it from the Song family and leave the house with the debts on my back, would my grandma be willing?"

Lin Fu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "This... I'm afraid it's not certain."

Aunt Qiuxia is straightforward, and immediately said directly: "Not sure, your grandma is definitely not willing. Besides your mother, who else in your family can work? Your mother is gone, who else can she count on? Count on you two Aunt? Laugh at me to death, that person is very precious, and won’t even hold the oil bottle when it’s upside down, because she thinks the bottle will get her hands dirty! Your grandma will definitely not want it.”

The Lin family's foreign debts are more than enough to repay the debts by selling Dongbao.

"I want to sell Dong Bao for money, and I have to work for the talented lady, I'm really cruel!" Old man Lin sighed.

Several people discussed for a while, but they couldn't come up with a good idea. The foreign debt of more than four taels of silver was not a small amount, and the Lin family might not be able to easily pay it out.What's more, even if the foreign debts are paid off, the Huang family still has to find a way to collect money to study for Song Bai, and I'm afraid he will still have Dong Bao's idea.

Seeing that it was time to make dinner, Mrs. Li couldn't stay in Lin's house anymore, so she took Dong Bao to leave.Before leaving, Aunt Qiuxia told Li Shi, "Hongzhen, be careful when you go back, don't ask Dongbao's grandma to see something." In case Dongbao's grandma finds out, she will sell Dongbao in advance. They are really helpless.

Mrs. Li nodded quickly, soaked a veil with fresh well water and wiped her eyes, calming down the turbulent emotions in her heart, and then dragged Dong Bao away.

When going out, Quan Zi ran over again, caught up with Dong Bao and Li Shi, pulled Li Shi's lapel and whispered: "Ma'am, I forgot to mention it just now, you don't care about Song Zhaodi from now on! She's so bad , Sister Dongbao is what she told Uncle Song, she is not a good person!"

Mrs. Li was stunned, and it took a long time before she sighed, "That child is only 12 years old..." Song Zhaodi's parents must have taught him.

Aunt Qiuxia who came out with Quanzi snorted coldly, "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!" Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, mice's sons can make holes, and the two adults in the second room of the Song family are not good people. Where can a girl be good?This kind of crooked girl still wants to be her eldest daughter-in-law?Bah, bah, bah, the Lin family doesn't even want to give it to them for free, even my own cousin can plot and sell it, she is so cruel and treacherous at a young age, how can she be okay when she grows up?

"Don't worry, Sister Dongbao, I'll vent your anger on you!" Quanzi assured Dongbao, patting his chest like a little adult.

It was raining again at this time, Da Shi found a bamboo hat from home for Li Shi, put on an oilcloth himself, propped it on top of himself and Dong Bao, and sent Li Shi and Dong Bao back to Song's house.

Dong Bao's heart was also in a mess, she was a little dazed, she couldn't go any way, the "filial piety" of the feudal society was like a mountain pressing down on her and Li Shi, if Huang Shi wanted to sell her, even if Li Shi could fight once Twice, how many more times can I fight?At that time, the second wife of the Song family will tie up Mrs. Li and drag her out to sell her. At that time, there is really nothing to do.

Even if she can earn money, Huang's goal is to support Song Bai and her two grandchildren. As long as she does not leave the Song family, she and Li will always be Huang's free coolies to support Song Bai, Da Mao and Er Mao.The difference is that Mrs. Li has the ability to work and stays in the Song family to support the Song family, but she has no ability to work and sells herself to support the Song family.

When cooking, both of them had heavy thoughts, Mrs. Li was in a trance, and her hands and feet were not as agile as usual. When Mrs. Huang caught her and scolded them vitriolicly, Mrs. Li just accepted it submissively and regarded filial piety as the sky. Facing the crisis of selling her only child at this moment, no matter how harsh Huang's scolding was, it could not embarrass Li.

Naturally, the dinner was not as rich as the lunch, and the cooking oil was replaced with rapeseed oil, and there was no meat in the small stove for Song Bai. Song Bai frowned and looked at the fried mushrooms in front of him in disgust. Chopsticks.
