Chapter 7 Second Aunt's Provocation

Lin and Mo Shengming looked at each other in surprise, each could see the disapproval in each other's eyes, after all, the family had to buy some flour to make Liangpi tomorrow, how could they lend so much money at this time.

Mrs. Lin wondered: "Oh, brothers and sisters, it's not that you don't know the situation in my sister-in-law's family. When the family was separated, the family was allocated a little grain and only a tael of money. Later, your elder brother went to the town to work as a farmer. I can provide some supplies if I do some odd jobs, but I didn’t expect that your elder brother was injured while doing the work. Now I can only do some farm work at home to supplement the family. You need to borrow a tael of silver now. I will definitely lend it to you without demur, but you have also seen it now, the sister-in-law's family can't even give out a tael of silver now."

After listening to these words, Mrs. Liu didn't speak but frowned, glanced at Mrs. Lin, and thought to herself: "Could it be that the second sister-in-law lied to me? But it's not right. If there is no such thing, how could they It is said that the bamboo basket on the back of the elder brother is full of things when he comes back from the town, how can he do this without any money?"

After thinking about it, she looked at Mrs. Lin suspiciously and asked: "Is there really no sister-in-law? Could it be that she framed me? This afternoon, many people in the village saw my elder brother coming back from the town with this full bamboo basket. Would you buy so many things if you had no money?"

Hearing what she said, Mo Shengming frowned, but he didn't say a word, because this matter can only be resolved by letting his mother-in-law come forward, so he let Mrs. Lin speak.

Upon hearing Liu's question, Mrs. Lin said anxiously: "Sister and sister, don't you trust others, don't you trust your elder brother and sister-in-law? Don't you know who your sister-in-law and I are?"

Mrs. Liu thought about it, and she also heard what the second sister-in-law said. The second sister-in-law has always been at odds with the elder sister-in-law, and how could she not know what the elder sister-in-law's house is like? Maybe she really took her as a gun It's crazy, thinking of this, I can't help scolding Li Shi in my heart, how dare I use myself as a gunman, if I don't teach her a lesson, I don't know what will happen to her in the future.

At this moment, Mrs. Liu just pushed all the reasons to Mrs. Li, and didn't think that there were reasons of her own. If she was not greedy for petty gain, how could she be used as a gun by Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Liu thought for a while, and then pretended to be sorry and said to Mrs. Lin: "Oh, sister-in-law is really sorry, and I was also anxious about the repair fee of the two sons, so I asked my sister-in-law's house now. Since My sister-in-law’s house doesn’t have so many, so let’s just let it go, and pretend that I haven’t said anything about it, don’t worry about it, sister-in-law, it’s okay, it’s getting late now, I should go back, and my sister-in-law doesn’t need to send it away. "

After speaking, he left like a gust of wind.A few people left looking at each other.Then Mo Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and said: "Father, I remember that when we came back this afternoon, we only saw the second aunt not far from the big tree at the head of the village, and then I didn't see anyone else. How did the third aunt know of?"

"Didn't you hear what your third aunt said just now? You heard about it from someone else, maybe your second aunt told her."

Mo Xiaoxiao was only thinking about other things just now, and didn't listen carefully to what Liu said. When she finally came to listen, she only heard the last sentence, frowned, looked at Mo Shengming and said: "Then it is now Do you think everyone in the village knows about it?"

Mo Shengming nodded, sighed, and said with a tired face: "Sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid your grandma may come to visit us after knowing this. You all go back to sleep."

The brothers and sisters glanced at each other, nodded and walked to their bedroom, leaving only Mo Shengming and his wife in the main room. Seeing Mo Shengming's appearance, Lin felt a pain in his heart, and called out softly. Said: "The master..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Mo Shengming's powerless voice, "Oh, go to sleep."

Lin didn't say anything, but stepped forward to hug Mo Shengming, and the two leaned on each other, as if only in this way would they not be overwhelmed by the next difficulties.

The next day, the weather was still relatively clear. Mo Xiaoxiao and the others ate breakfast early, and then asked Mo Shengming to go to the town to buy flour. Mrs. Lin asked him to come back early. After Xiao mentioned the cold noodle recipe, she really wanted to give it a try, and she couldn't help but look forward to earning money to support her family.

At noon, Xiaoxiao's grandparents in the upper room asked a few of them to go over, and it was Xiaoxiao's second aunt, Li Shi, who passed the message. Seeing Li Shi's complacent look, except for Mo Xiaoxiao, the few people couldn't help but After a moment of sinking, it is almost certain that it was Li who said that his family went to the town to buy things yesterday, even if Mo Yuntian and others were so angry that they had no choice but to call her Second Aunt.

Mr. Mo's name is Mo Dayuan, and his family's situation in the village was relatively good at that time. He and Xiaoxiao's grandmother, Mrs. Wang, had four sons and two daughters. Favorite.

Xiaoxiao came to the room for the first time, and she couldn't tell what it was like. The former Mo Xiaoxiao didn't like to come here, because Mr. Mo was an extremely serious person, and her grandmother was only very partial to the second son, which led to It is inevitable that there will be some resentment in the heart of the other children, and it is no wonder that the second aunt Li is so unscrupulous.

When I arrived at the upper room, I saw Mr. Mo sitting on it with a straight face, and Grandma Wang was sitting next to him.Mr. Mo took a look around and saw that almost all the people in the rooms had come, but Mo Shengming was missing. His originally serious face immediately became serious. He looked at Mrs. Lin and asked, "Where is Shengming?"

Before Lin could answer, she only heard Li say: "That's right, sister-in-law, where did brother go? Could it be that the sun is drying your butt and you're still sleeping?"

Seeing that Mr. Mo's face was so dark that black water dripped out after listening to Mrs. Li's words, Xiaoxiao secretly screamed in her heart that something was wrong, and immediately said: "Grandma, grandma, daddy went to town, I want to see if there is any There is no work to do, not what my second aunt said."

"Hey, you little girl, your mother didn't say a word, why are you interrupting, do you have a place to speak here?" Li Shi asked.

Seeing Li's scolding Xiaoxiao, Mrs. Lin said displeasedly: "If there is no share for her, there must be a share for me. The head of my family is still looking for work in the town. Recently, the farm work is almost done, so I must find something to do." Well, my family is not as rich as my younger siblings' family, so the head of the family and I have to work hard, lest the whole family drink the northwest wind."

Mrs. Li is a do-nothing at home, not even cooking, because Mrs. Wang loves her second son and grandson, so she let their family spend their meals. Mrs. Lin's words can be regarded as stabbing at Mrs. Li's deathbed, Mrs. Li also She was not afraid of Mrs. Lin's sarcasm. She was planning to quarrel with Mrs. Lin so that her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, would hate Mrs. Lin even more. At this juncture, she heard father-in-law Mo Dayuan yelling: "Why are you arguing? What do you think?" Isn't it messy enough? Second child, take care of your mother-in-law, the head of the house must look like a head of the house."
