Lin Min smiled bitterly: "Sister, if it wasn't really helpless, we wouldn't come to beg you. It's not easy for everyone." He paused and then said: "In this era, there is a war outside. The overall environment is not good, and the people's lives are also much worse. But in the end, it is better than before when they had no food to eat." "Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face, and a family won't speak the same language. Brother, help us pay back part of the money first. When there is a balance next year, we can pay it back little by little, how about it?" "We are all relatives, and we are not afraid of running away to find someone. Is it possible that after decades of separation, we have lost this trust? You told your old father before that you would take good care of me and my second brother." If it weren't for the fact that Lin Dawei was really doing well, who would be willing to call him big brother?
It's not like my elder brother Lin was born to a mother who died young. How could their mother accompany their father with such deep affection? It's a shame that the old father even left the compound to him before he died, because he was afraid that the three of them would kill his eldest brother. ? If his mother hadn't reacted quickly and directly taken the decision to separate the eldest brother with several broken pots and drive him out, I am afraid that the compound that was sold in Wangjiacun would have belonged to Lin Dawei. My old father is so partial! The old mother was right. He was just thinking about that girl who died early. Otherwise, how could he have been partial to his eldest brother and treated them so poorly? Lin Dawei let out a long breath: "Third brother, what are you going to do to pay back the more than a thousand yuan? Go to the town to do odd jobs, or do more work?" "Well... to be honest, I haven't thought about it. What's there to do these days? If it's not possible, I can only find work in the big factories in the north. But no one wants me and Xiao Su at our age, so I can only send my son and daughter-in-law there. .”
But the son has to carry on the family line, so how can he go to a place like that and suffer hardship?
So she could only go to Xiaoqiao. She had to come back every once in a while to give birth to a son with Lin Mingze. Otherwise, if there was no son in the family to inherit the family business and carry on the family line, wouldn't it mean that the incense would be cut off, and no one else would know that they were there when she went out? One!
You can't say this to Lin Dawei. What if he listens and thinks that Xiaoqiao can't make a few dollars and doesn't want to borrow money?
"Brother, it's not that I won't help you." Lin Dawei said helplessly: "You don't even know what you will do in the future. How can I help you? Our family also needs to eat and live, and several children go to school." "The richest man and the second richest will go to school next year, and all kinds of stationery and books will cost money. In the future, when they are admitted to school, there will be more places that need money, so they can borrow it from abroad." To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to borrow him! Lin Min looked angrily: "Brother, to put it bluntly, aren't you just afraid that we won't be able to pay for it when you push back? People are poor, but they can't be poor in ambition. No matter how you say it, our family can make money while they are alive, so you don't want to borrow it?" " "I really misjudged you. My old father's last words before he left were for you to take good care of me and my second brother. You didn't remember it at all! You just watched us suffer and endure hardships and live humbly!" "I wonder if old father Youzhi will be angry with you under the Heavenly Spiritual Spring!" Lin Dawei's eyes immediately turned red when he said these words. The old man had been resolute all his life. He took several broken basins and a broken quilt and walked all night to Xingjia Village. The boards of his shoes fell off and the soles of his feet were covered with blisters. He didn't There was no place to sleep, and I found a shabby shed. He didn't think it was a big deal. I just want to build a family, marry a wife, have a few children for the rest of my life, and if I can, win over my brothers, and never resent them for driving me out. He also believed that his family had taken good care of his two younger brothers. They had never been short of food, clothing, or anything else for nearly three months. But now that he had failed to fulfill his responsibilities, the old father would have known. Blame. Lin Dawei felt so sad, uncomfortable and stupid that he didn't know what to say. He was so angry that Wang Cuilan banged the table and vented his anger on his boss. "Hey, I said you kid really picks up the bowl to eat, and puts down the bowl to scold me! You can't survive in Wangjia Village, so you come to our house. You promised to stay for two days, and then leave after settling down, but you stay in my house More than three months!” "In the past three months, my family has not been responsible for the food and clothing expenses? You have never even walked on the ground. You only eat when you open your mouth. We only have to dress you. How far have we fallen?" "How do you call it failure to fulfill its responsibilities? From my point of view, the head of my family is too responsible!" Wang Cuilan said angrily, her wrinkled old face was full of fierceness, and she was obviously an inhospitable person. It shows how tough she is usually, Wang Cuilan yelled: "Heartless thing, no one in the village knows how long your family has been staying with us. Even if this is said outside, no one will say that I don't care about my relatives!" "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Brother Min doesn't mean that." Su Shi was as quiet as a quail now, not at all as proud and confident as when she came to borrow food today and a few days ago. She probably knew that her family was demanding Lin Dawei, so her attitude was so low that she was scolded by Wang Cuilan and didn't even dare to fart. "What does that mean? You have said it so clearly. Isn't this just giving you more money than the master? You have even laid out your last wish, what else do you want?"
Wang Cuilan sneered: "If it doesn't work out, we will move out as a family immediately and free up the front and back courtyards for your family. We will give you a thousand yuan to pay back the money, and finally we will give you the land and everything else." Is that okay if you just let it pass?" "Bah! Dream on!" Su Shi's face turned red and white with embarrassment. She opened her mouth not knowing what to say, then closed her mouth again and sat aside with an aggrieved look. If it were a young girl acting like this, it would be a bit distressing, but if it were an old lady in her fifties, it would just make people feel weird. Lin Xiangrong grinned and almost couldn't eat the orange anymore. She finally understood that she was here to borrow money. When he borrowed food, he was very stubborn before, because there was no big deal to bear. Now that his butt is burning, he knows how to bow his head. But Lin Dawei is already heartbroken, and it will be difficult to borrow money. Even though he was heartbroken, he didn't regard his brother as a stranger. But it was impossible to open his heart like before. I just didn't know what the old man was thinking. "Sister, give me a bite." The second rich man came in sweating from the outside. He took off his clothes and hung them behind the door. He wiped the sweat on his face with a towel: "I ran around the village several times, but I am exhausted." Lin Xiangrong obediently gave him a large portion of the orange. When he saw the second rich man sitting down, he couldn't help but pinch his strong-looking arm: "Second brother, you run so many laps every day, aren't you tired?" After training and doing farm work, the twelve-year-old boy has become somewhat tolerant of an adult body. He smiled and said: "I'm not tired, but I am tired now. What will I do if I become a soldier in the future? If I complain about being tired, I will be punished to death." ( End of this chapter)
