Chapter 75: Roll call

While Dow and Lin Jinrong were freshening up, Lin Jinyin whispered and reported to Dow about the situation at home: "A few days ago, there was something wrong with the second aunt's management, and my grandfather spoke and changed the eldest mother to work. The two aunts had an upset in front of their grandmother, and they haven't reconciled until now. They barely chuck at the corners of their mouths in front of others, without saying anything from the back.
Dow was very surprised and happy: "Something went wrong with the account? What a shame! This is a big deal, your grandmother didn't say anything? Just forget it?"
Lin Jinyin whispered: "Isn't the price of silver going up in spring? My second aunt and her partner opened a silver shop outside and made a lot of money..." Then he whispered in Dow's ear, "I heard she In private, he exchanged gold and copper for the cash in the public and sold it in an outside store, leaving only a small amount of silver to pretend. After the incident came out, the grandfather spoke and asked the eldest mother to figure out how much silver was moved. , Let the second aunt take it out according to the amount when the silver price was the highest. The second aunt said that it was only ten thousand taels, and the elder aunt said that they had moved twenty thousand taels. Once I knew that the eldest aunt used to quarrel so badly. In the end, my grandmother made a compromise and asked the second aunt to make up the difference of fifteen thousand taels."
"She's so fat! She really treats herself as a housekeeper's daughter-in-law, so she can cover the sky with one hand. Only a few days after the housekeeper, she can't wait to show such an ugly face, beating your grandmother in the face." Dow is funny. Ji: "She racked her brains and worked hard for a long time, but gave her father three or four thousand taels of silver for nothing. I must hate your aunt." Lin Jinyin laughed: "Auntie still hates her for all the money. Thousands of silver. I hate my grandmother's eccentricity. She always has a straight face in front of her grandmother. Grandma didn't care too much, but she faced her second aunt with a straight face. In this way, the sixth sister and the seventh sister did not dare to go. In front of my grandmother."
As soon as he came home, he heard such a funny thing. Dow laughed and slammed, and said: "Your grandmother sheltered your second aunt, and she feels guilty in her heart, so she doesn't care about it with your elder aunt. This slap is a good slap and deserves it. Oh deserve it! Even though people like me are not likable, I really can't do this kind of stuffing."
When I left, Dafang was frustrated, and the second room was proud. In the past six months, the situation at home has changed again. Lin Jinrong listened silently, and smiled lightly: "If my second aunt comes here once a year, I must be happy when we send monthly money and celebrate the holidays. Our family won't have to save so much."
"You..." The more Dow thought about it, the more funny he got. He put a festive red coral hairpin on his hair side and said with flying eyebrows: "Go, let's greet the old lady."
Lin Jinrong took Lin Shenzhi's hand, and went to Hele Hall with Dow.
The Hele Hall is still the same, the girls are still the same, the air is filled with the unchanging scent of sandalwood, the copper vase is filled with fresh and fresh flowers, only the cushion chair is much older than before.
Old Mrs. Lin had just gotten up for lunch, still lacking energy, and she was drinking tea on the couch to refresh herself. Seeing Dow and others come in to please peace, there is a smile on his face that is neither happy nor unhappy: "Sit down. Are you all healed? Just take care of your body and live well in the future. Four girls are long. I'm tall, my complexion is pretty good." As he said, he opened his arms to Lin Shenzhi, and said, "Little old Qi came to grandma, did your grandfather leave you on vacation?" Lin Shenzhi glanced reluctantly at Tao, and said Stepping forward and leaning against Old Lady Lin, he smiled and said, "Yes, my grandfather knows that my mother is coming back today, saying that she can control people and can't control her. It's better to let me go, he is also clean, and I am happy too."
Mrs. Lin grabbed two plums and handed them over, touched the top of his head, and exhorted: "Listen to your grandfather's words, be a good student, and you will be great in the future."
Lin Jinrong looked at Mrs. Lin like this. Lin Shenzhi seemed to be more affectionate than before. Knowing that this was because Lin Shenzhi followed Mrs. Lin and read the book well, so he was very happy, Chao Lin Jinyin squeezed his eyes, and the two sisters smiled knowingly, both of them a little bit proud.
Mrs. Lin coaxed her grandson, and Fang raised her eyes and asked Dow, "I heard your brother is here?"
My mother's family always runs here, which is a bit unsightly. Dow knew that Roche was quite gloating at the ugly foul, so he had to explain it quickly when he heard this question: "Yes, he is out here to greet his father-in-law, for fear that he will be able to come to his mother-in-law later. It's time to prepare. There is a bargain shop in Qingzhou, and things are much cheaper, so I asked my sister-in-law to help buy some wood, fur, and fragrant medicine. He happened to come to Pingzhou for something and sent it to me by the way."
Old lady Lin drooped her eyes and said, "Your brother is not too young. It's really hard to run back and forth. You have to be a good hospitality. You must have snacks for your accommodation and food."
If it weren't for her unwillingness, something would happen, Tao Shunqin would of course not always run back and forth. Dow's face was rarely beaten hot, and he whispered: "Yes."
Mrs. Lin said again: "Speaking of preparing makeup for the four girls, I wanted to ask you a long time ago, are you ready for everything for the three girls? You have always lived on the Zhuangzi, so it’s not easy for me to ask. I don’t feel at ease if I keep this diary on."
"It's been prepared a long time ago." Speaking of this, Dow added a bit of excitement: "When the luggage is put in place, I will just take a moment, check the items again, and make up for it. , Absolutely nothing goes wrong."
"Your own flesh and blood is the eldest daughter. I can rest assured that I am afraid of negligence." Old lady Lin took the tea cup and took a sip of tea slowly: "It's the child of Yizhi. I remember the ten years of this year. Are you four years old? I don’t know if you have a suitable person in your heart? You have settled his business as soon as possible, so you can settle the matter of the four girls."
Dow's good mood was suddenly squeezed out of this series of non-stop beatings, slightly inflated, and said in a daze, "Isn't the wife in front of you always sick? It's not easy to find someone in the countryside, this time." When you are free, ask someone to ask. Whether it is Pingzhou or Cheongju, you must always choose a suitable family background, appearance, and character."
"Yeah." Old lady Lin said earnestly and earnestly: "You really plan for him, and he won't miss you in the future."
It sounds like how harsh she is, Lin Yizhi, she has been absent for more than half a year, can't be harsh even if she wants to be harsh? The old witch obviously saw her happy, and deliberately found her uncomfortable. Dow's face suddenly turned black, and she barely managed to say nothing.
Lin Jinrong and Lin Jinyin saw that Mrs. Lin deliberately ran on Dow. Dow was unhappy. Although they were not happy, they were not easy to interrupt. Who told Mrs. Lin that everything was right? Mrs. Lin saw that Dow did not have the glamour and gloat he had when he first came in, so she stopped beating with satisfaction, and then asked: "I heard that in spring, Lu Yan went to Mr. Zhu to study and fell in the mountains. I was saved by the kid in your village? What happened?"
Speaking of this, Dow finally found a reason to vent, and said angrily: "Mother-in-law, I'm still angry when talking about this..."
Lin Jinrong glanced at Mrs. Lin hurriedly, but saw that Mrs. Lin was not upset and didn't want to hear Dow's complaint. He guessed that Mrs. Lin might have known the truth a long time ago, but at this moment he was just trying to lead Dow to say it That's it, don't care, just listen.
"I'm kind, but my aunt felt that I was delaying the child's studies. Would you tell me to drive the child away and not allow him to live in Zhuangzi? Who can do this kind of thing? Besides, he doesn't do it every day. Liang went to Mr. Zhu, where was the delay again?" Dow Barabara said again, and concluded: "Such a relative is really difficult to do! I have never seen such an unreasonable one."
Old lady Lin listened silently before, and when she heard her last comment, her face was inevitably a little ugly, but she endured it and hummed: "You misunderstood, Yuzhen didn't mean that. You know her situation. She also had difficulties in her heart and couldn't tell. Lu Yan was ignorant, and the people at the bottom could not do things. She told me that day, and saw that you want to apologize with you. Our mothers don’t want to talk to her. Don't worry about it, don't worry about it anymore. Earlier, the four girls were ignorant, and she didn't say anything?"
Go ahead with these words! It's nothing more than a mother-in-law who wants to cover up that inappropriate behavior for Lin Yuzhen. Dow knew very well in his heart, but because he was beaten and squeezed by Mrs. Lin at the front, he could hardly fight back. Mrs. Lin later raised Lin Jinrong again, and had to grunt as a response.
Mrs. Lin hummed twice, let the matter go, and let them go back to rest: "After a long time, I have worked hard. Let's go and rest. The family has not been reunited for a long time. I told your sister-in-law. In the evening, we set up a family banquet for you to pick up the dust. They men eat and drink outside, and our women and children eat and drink inside, and we all let go." He looked at Lin Jinyin gently and said, "The three girls will soon be out of the cabinet, so My life is one day or one less, and there are fewer and fewer children staying with me. I really cannot bear it."
The unhappiness in Dow's heart immediately disappeared, and he became a little sad.
Lin Jinyin hurriedly laughed and said: "Grandma is not sad, I am leaving, aren't there other brothers and sisters with you? A few years later, the younger brothers married, the family is prosperous, I am afraid that grandmother will be annoying again. "
When Lin Jinrong saw this, she really felt that Mrs. Lin was really amazing. Fighting, pressing and pulling, their mothers should learn from Granny Lin. To talk about the biggest shortcoming of Mrs. Lin, that is to protect the people she likes too much, or else Lin Yuzhen and Luo Che would not have reached this point. Just thinking about it, I was called. Mrs. Lin stared at her with her old eyes open: "Si girl, when you grow up, why do you still look like a boring gourd? It's okay to accompany your sister more, learn from your sister, and say a few more soft things. Don't like to listen?".
