Chapter 398 Add makeup (4)
After a long time, under the watchful eyes of Lin Xiaoqiao and the others, he tore off the bag angrily, revealing a pile of scraps of cloth and the like inside, "Your grandfather and I are poor people, and our lives are almost beyond our reach, and there is nothing wrong with it." Spare money, go buy some expensive gifts! We saved these things from between our teeth, it’s a good intention!”

Before going out, Mr. Lin took two taels of silver to Mrs. Zhou, and asked her to go to the town to buy a nice makeup gift first. However, Ms. Zhou obviously couldn't understand Mr. Lin's meaning, so she kept the money privately. down.

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at Zhou Shi coldly, putting on a show there, but didn't say a word, while Lin Xiaoxi never had any hope for the two of them, ever since the two of Zhou Shi came in, they kept their heads down and pretended to be reserved.

Yu Lian'er, on the other hand, had an unrestrained temperament, she went forward to rummage through the bundle, and finally picked up the crumpled thing like a quick handkerchief with two fingers, and said with a look of disgust: "Eh—— —What is this thing! Why does it look like an old thing that someone has used, and it can also be used as a gift for makeup?"

"Where did you come from such an uneducated stinky girl! Why don't you understand any rules and etiquette? This is how your adults taught you!" Zhou Shi just inadvertently saw the contempt on Lin Xiaoqiao's face, goodbye Seeing Yu Lian'er's behavior, she scolded and wanted to regain some ground.

Yu Lian'er pursed her lips, she was not afraid of Mrs. Zhou at all, and she didn't take her words seriously, she squinted her eyes, and said with a sarcasm: "It's just such rubbish, how dare you show it to others Woolen cloth!"

"Sister Xiaoxi, your grandma has taught me a lot!" Yu Lian'er threw away the veil in disgust, and said with emotion.

Zhou's face turned red immediately, and she pointed at Yu Lian'er, wanting to explode, but then thought that the girl's mother was not a good person to provoke, so she could only withdraw her hand resentfully, gasping for breath.

Lin Xiaoqiao glanced at the pile of odds and ends in the bundle, most of them were one or two feet long, cloth heads of different colors, and there were also two pairs of coarse socks, just such things, Zhou was really ashamed to give them away.

She didn't believe it. With Lin Erniu's subsidies from time to time, the Zhou family couldn't come up with a share, which was a worthy gift.

Others are not allowed to talk about such shabby things, Lin Xiaoqiao felt more and more that Mrs. Zhou was out of tune, she endured it, but still couldn't hold it back, "Grandma, since you saved these things from between your teeth, Then I'll take it back for you, my sister doesn't have the good fortune to enjoy it!"

At this time, Lin Xiaoxi also said softly: "Yeah, grandma, let's take these back. I'm a junior, so I don't want to embarrass you, an elder!"

Hearing these little girls' sarcasm, Mrs. Zhou couldn't control herself, stood up abruptly, and walked out angrily without saying a word.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu quickly took out a pair of gray coarse and plain shoes from her pocket, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxi, these are a pair of shoes I made for you, although the material is not good enough. What the hell, it's my wish anyway, don't dislike it! Don't always hold grudges against me because of the past, I can't do anything about it, it's all forced by life!"

After finishing the words, she heard Zhou's cold snort outside, and Liu hurried out.

Lin Xiaoxi looked at these things on the table and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

Besides, Mrs. Zhou rushed out of the room with an angry expression on her face. The anger in her heart could not be calmed down for a long time, and she didn't care to show her face in front of Mrs. Li and others, so she led the party angrily. Mrs. Liu, left the gate of the Lin Mansion.

Walking outside the gate, he still didn't forget to point at the door and let out a vicious 'pooh', "A group of hairy girls with black hearts, dogs look down on people!"

Since Mrs. Liu would not go up to make trouble at this juncture, she followed her not too far away, but Mrs. Zhou still took the opportunity and scolded her all the way to the door of the house.

Mr. Lin was sitting at home, waiting for his wife to come back with good news. Since Dalang Erlang was admitted to Juren, there was not a single day that Mr. Lin did not regret the separation of the family.

However, he also knew that after the incident had happened, there would be no room for him to return, so Mr. Lin tried his best to get closer to the second child's family.

If that's the case, his good days will come. Not to mention, in this village, who else can go past him!

Last time, when the second child's family came back to the village to worship their ancestors and serve wine, it really made him look good. In his whole life, he had never been invited to sit at the table for dinner, but That time, he was invited to do the right seat.

Mr. Lin felt excited when he thought about it. That day, he was held up one by one, toasted, and almost fell down.

Some images appeared in Mr. Lin's mind again. Even people like the village head, seeing him now, are all smiling and flattering, so they can't help but feel complacent.

However, while everyone flattered him, they would also secretly discuss behind his back, saying that they and the second child's family had long since lost their closeness.

Whenever Mr. Lin heard these gossips, he couldn't help but panic. If there was no second child and his family, then all the face he has now and his superior status in the village would be gone.

Therefore, Mr. Lin very urgently hopes to bring back the family of the second son who is gradually far away from the old couple.

However, wishes are always beautiful, but reality is cruel. Mr. Lin, who was wholeheartedly waiting for the good news from his old wife, had a bad premonition when he saw Mrs. Zhou's gloomy old face, "Old lady, What's wrong with you? Didn't you just let you go to give gifts? Why did you go home like this?"

Zhou was in a bad mood along the way, but now seeing Mr. Lin, especially seeing the undisguised nervousness in his eyes, he immediately felt guilty.

I had to pretend to be angry and said: "What else can we do! We rushed to get close to him, but he didn't appreciate it at all! I started from entering the door, but I was kicked out without even drinking my saliva!"

"How could it be? You followed what I said and went to buy a decent gift, didn't you go again? When you got there, did you speak nicely?" Mr. Lin still knew Zhou's better, so , Hearing what she said, I didn't believe it all immediately. Instead, I took a puff of tobacco, looked at my old lady and asked.

Mrs. Zhou touched the small lump protruding from the corner of her clothes, lowered her head and looked a little dodgy, and said, "I followed what you said! But they don't appreciate it, what can I do! I’m going to get closer in the future, you go by yourself, anyway, I’m not going!” After finishing speaking, he got up and went back to his room, intending to find a reliable place to hide the money.
