The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 9 Every family has a difficult scripture to read
"Yes, sister, listen to your mother and don't think about it anymore. I heard from the scholar grandpa in the village that those rich families don't treat servants as human beings, and they can beat and scold them easily. If you do the dirty things of the master's family, you will lose your life."

After listening to Qing Guo's words, Mrs. Lin turned to Qing Ping and said, "Did you hear that?"

Luo Qingping originally thought that being a servant girl was a way of showing strength and being bullied, how could she have thought of such a serious matter, her face turned pale, and she quickly agreed: "I'll remember it, I won't say anything about it."

Only then did Lin breathe a sigh of relief, gritted her teeth and said, "I'll take Guo'er to her second aunt's house tomorrow. It's a big deal. We'll pay it back with interest."

Qing Guo listened and nodded repeatedly.

Luo Xingzu, who was lying on one side of the bed, was so worried that he couldn't breathe, five taels of silver, plus interest, where would he find so much money!
The next day, when the rooster crowed for the first time, Mrs. Lin picked up the green fruit from the bed, and the mother and wife had nothing to clean up, so they drank a bowl of porridge that could count the grains of rice and set off.

"Xingzu's daughter-in-law, where are you going with fruit so early?"

Luo Zhou, who was not far away from Qingguo's house, opened the door and saw Lin hurrying along with Qingguo, so he couldn't help asking.

"His aunt, I'll take Guoer to her second aunt's house."

"Is this going to borrow money from her second aunt?"

Lin was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Mrs. Luo Zhou sighed, and said to Mrs. Lin: "Go, it's only right for my sisters to help."

Lin nodded, took Qingguo's hand and walked out of the village.

Luo Zhou looked at the thin figures of the mother and daughter in the fog behind him, shook his head, said "do evil", and went to the kitchen to light a fire to make breakfast.

When the mother and wife passed by the door of Widow Sun at the east side of the village, they heard the door creak, and then saw a man coming out of the door. open.

But unexpectedly, the man walked over to meet her mother and daughter.

"Isn't this Mrs. Lin from Luo's second family? Where are you going this early in the morning!"

The man was fat and fat, and a pair of small eyes looked up and down Lin Shi maliciously, and his greasy hands were about to pull Lin Shi.

Qing Guo hurriedly called out behind the man, "Aunt Sun."

The man quickly withdrew his hands, turned around and looked back, Qingguo pulled her mother's feet and ran away.

When the man found out about Qingguo, Qingguo and Mrs. Lin had already run away. The man looked at the half-closed door of Widow Sun's house, but after all he didn't dare to chase after him, and walked away humming an out of tune tune.

Seeing that the man didn't come after him, Qingguo asked Mrs. Lin slowly, "Mother, do you know him?"

"He's from your third aunt's house, and he sells butcher in the town."

In other words, he is a butcher!Qingguo made up her own mind.Xindao: This widow grandson really has some tricks, she can even hook up with people in Qingyang Town!
"Guo'er, it's still early, why don't we go see your grandfather and grandma first?"

To go to Liujiang Village, you have to go through Qingguo's grandma's house in Shizhen Village. Qingguo is naturally happy to go to her grandma's house.

"I listen to mother."

Lin smiled, raised her hand to wipe the sweat off Qingguo's forehead, and led her to her natal home.

Lin.

Qingguo's grandma, Mrs. Zhong, just opened the door, and saw Mrs. Lin walking towards their house with Qingguo on the small road. Qingguo saw her from a distance, and waved her hand and called "Grandma" loudly.

Zhong quickly yelled to the three grandparents in the back room, "Get up quickly, Qingguo and her mother are here."

In addition to the two younger sisters, the Lin family has two younger brothers. The elder brother Lin Fangda is 13 years old, and the younger brother Lin Zhengda is 11 years old. When the two half-old boys heard that their elder sister had returned, they turned over and got out of bed, took off their shoes and went out. run.

"Sister, why are you back? I was going to pick you up after breakfast." Lin Zhengda ran out, bending over to carry the green fruit.

"Uncle, why did you come to pick up my mother? Did my grandma cook something delicious?" Qing Guo asked, lying on Lin Zhengda's back.

"No, it's your third aunt who is back."

When Mrs. Lin heard that Lin Xiaotao was back, the expression on her face suddenly changed.

"Why did your third sister come back?" He hurried home while talking.

"Third sister heard that my mother is not in good health, so she came back to see her."

After Mrs. Zhong welcomed Mrs. Lin and the others into the door, Lin Xiaotao, who had heard the voice in the room, was already dressed and came out to greet her. She took a few steps forward and hugged the thin but delicate and lovely Qingguo from Lin Zhengda's back.

"Guo'er, do you want to miss Third Aunt?"

"Think." Qing Guo replied crisply holding Lin Xiaotao's neck.

Lin Xiaotao gave her a "ba-chi" kiss on the face, "How about being a daughter to Third Aunt?"

Qing Guodang was startled, and looked at Mrs. Lin bewilderedly.

Lin stepped forward to pinch Lin Xiaotao, frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child!"

Lin Xiaotao smiled awkwardly, put the green fruit on the ground, and said to Lin Zhengda and Lin Fangda who came up.

"Go, you two take Guoer to play."

"Hey."

Lin Zhengda squatted down and wanted to carry Qingguo again, but Qingguo refused.

"I'll go by myself."

Lin Zhengda looked at Mrs. Zhong, who smiled and said, "Let her go by herself. You guys have a good time and don't let anyone bully her."

"Got it, mother."

Lin Zhengda and Lin Fangda took Qingguo's hand from left to right and walked out. Qingguo wanted to stay and listen to what the adults had to say, but when she saw her grandfather Lin Shanwen went out with a basket and a harpoon, Dang even decided to go to the river to have a look.

"Coincidentally, mother, I'll go to the river to see if I can catch a fish so that I can make soup for my daughter." Lin Shanwen said outside the door.

"Go, take Zhengda and Fangda with you, and don't go into deep water."

"Hey."

Lin Shanwen walked out with the three children.

On this side, the mother and daughter of the Lin family went to the kitchen together to cook.

Mrs. Lin cleaned rice and chopped vegetables for Mrs. Zhong nimbly, while Lin Xiaotao sat in front of the stove and lit a fire.

Lin took advantage of this time to ask about Lin Xiaotao.

"Is it your mother-in-law..."

The expression on Lin Xiaotao's face in front of the kitchen was gloomy for a moment, and after a while, she said softly, "I don't blame her, she only has Brother Baozhong's son. I have been married for almost three years, and there is still no movement."

Lin and Zhong looked at each other, and at the end, Lin said softly, "Why not, let Baozhong take you to the county seat."

"I've been there," Lin Xiaotao stared blankly at the fire in the kitchen, two lines of tears suddenly fell in her eyes, "I've been there at the end of last year, and I've taken dozens of pills, but it's just..." After falling, she punched her stomach bitterly.
