"Second Grandma, let me get you a glass of water. Don't blame Er Ni for being alone."
After attending school for several years, Dani became more tactful and eloquent, which made life much easier for herself and Erni. She walked over briskly and poured a glass of hot water for the old lady.
"Hmph, you still have some sense."
The old lady snorted: "From now on, please call me Wang Po."
"Hey, Wang Po." Dani responded quickly, and gave Wang Po another plate of fried melon seeds with a little salt, then walked to the corner and stood there, waiting for someone to call her.
On the chairs in the room, only Mrs. Wang, Lin Dawei and a fat old man were sitting. The others went aside and talked in low voices.
Wang Cuilan's expression was ugly and her eyes were rolling around without making a good decision. From time to time, her eyes crossed Lin Dawei's second brother Lin Zhuang, and then looked at Mrs. Wang who had a mean face, gray hair and a plain ring.
It turns out that the second brother who heads the family is the wife’s wife.
Today, it is Wang Po who calls the shots in the house of Lin Dawei's second brother Lin Zhuang.
So Wang Po sat in the main seat, and Lin Zhuang sat in the seat behind her. The boundaries were clear and strict, which shows how majestic Wang Po is on weekdays.
"As you can see, our family has basically occupied the wing rooms. Only the old house next door and the dilapidated house at the foot of the mountain are empty. However, the old house next door was left by Wang Cuilan's family. You want to live in or rent it? , I have to discuss it with my old lady."
No matter how poor a man is, he cannot touch his wife's dowry.
Lin Dawei remembers this sentence very clearly.
He had never touched Wang Cuilan's dowry, but last time there was really not much food left at home, so Wang Cuilan exchanged the plain silver bracelet that she had been saving.
Otherwise, just relying on small ginseng, the family would not be able to stockpile enough food for two months, and they would even have money left over, without touching the life-saving money they had saved.
He didn't know how much life-saving money he had saved, but he could figure out the approximate amount by making an estimate.
Wang Po's eyes flashed: "Oh?"
If you don't have a place to live, that won't work.
Their whole family came here with all their bags, so how could they have no place to stay?
If Wangjiacun hadn't been so poor that no raindrop fell for several months, and all the villagers were left with nothing to gain, they wouldn't have fled.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think?" Mrs. Wang always said what she was used to, and even her questions had a tone that could not be questioned.
It's obviously a question, but the impression it gives is that if you don't want to let us live in this old house, you have to let us live in it, so don't be shameless.
"Me? Huh, that's the house left by my mother's family. It's not been repaired for a long time. It's habitable, but I'm not sure if there will be pests like rats." Wang Cuilan didn't give an accurate answer.
On the side, the third brother Lin Dawei, who was slightly chubby and smiling, and showed some kindness to everyone he saw, said: "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, we are all a family, so don't make such a fuss."
Lin Min said with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter if there are mice. Whose house doesn't have mice? Don't worry, we will definitely take care of the house."
That means that even if there are rats, we have to live in this house.
Wang Po and Lin Zhuang's family gave birth to two sons. The two sons had a son and a daughter respectively. Together with the two daughters-in-law, there were eight people in total.
Lin Min and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Su, have a son, and each son has a daughter. Together with his daughter-in-law, there are five people in total.
Thirteen people came at once.
No wonder there was such a Lin Xiangrong took a look at the door, she immediately wanted to turn around and leave. She hated crowded places the most. It was noisy, hot, and smelled of sweat.
"My dear, you're here, the milk has been waiting impatiently." Wang Cuilan's eyes lit up and she greeted Lin Xiangrong to come in. She grabbed her granddaughter who walked in slowly and handed over half a sweet potato: "Eat breakfast. Are you ready? Let’s eat a sweet potato first.”
"Thank you for the milk." Lin Xiangrong jumped up and was held in Wang Cuilan's arms. She lowered her head and ate sweet potatoes in small bites.
[It turns out that this is the second wife that the second master married into his wife. She looks shrewd. No wonder she was able to turn the old house left by the grandma’s family into hers in the end, and even beat the milk out. 】
[This man is so powerful that he doesn’t leave any flaws. It’s not easy to find the village chief, so he can only give up this house. If the second uncle hadn’t been clever and gave up his own house in advance. After crossing Ming Road, I am afraid that my own house will also be taken away. 】
Wang Cuilan's face turned green for a moment.
She knows it!
She knew it was right to call her precious granddaughter! Otherwise, how could you hear these words! "Tsk, tsk, a girl is actually being fed sweet potatoes?" Su Shi, Lin Min's daughter-in-law, looked up and down at Lin Xiangrong, who was wearing new clothes, a pair of silver bracelets and a silver longevity lock, and a flash of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.
"Why should a girl wear a silver bracelet and a longevity lock? Shouldn't these things be given to boys? Girls only need to live, so why are they so precious?"
Wang Cuilan's face trembled, and she replied with a smile: "These are a pair of silver bracelets and longevity locks given to me by my little granddaughter's godfather. As a parent, you can't steal your granddaughter's things and give them to your grandson, right?"
In the room, Fang Hongying and Zhang Miao rarely took the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks and ridicule Lin Xiangrong for always having better food and clothing than the male child, and even developed a strange sense of superiority.
Look, even a girl in our family is so precious. Look at your girl. She is obviously two years older than Dani and Erni, but she looks darker, smaller and thinner than both of them.
Zhang Miao rarely felt a little motherly love for Dani and Erni at this time. She decided to give Dani and Erni an extra rough-faced steamed bun. However, due to this comparison, she thought that Dani and Erni were competing for respect.
"What's wrong with a little girl, please dress better?" Lin Min saw that the topic had changed. He glared at Su, knocked on the table, and said to Lin Dawei, who was expressionless and smoking leaf cigarettes, "Brother, what do you think?"
How to see something, see it with your eyes.
Lin Dawei looked helpless. After making eye contact with Wang Cuilan for a while, he said, "It's difficult to make a decision on this matter. We have to discuss it for a few days. How about you go to the house at the foot of the mountain first?"
Lin Yuannan smiled and said at this time: "The place is large and spacious, enough to sleep two families. There are also wooden and iron frame beds inside, so you can sleep comfortably."
A house at the foot of a mountain? That's okay.
The purpose of their coming is to join the boss Lin Dawei's family. If possible, they can get a house or get some food. When there is no drought next year, they can return to Wangcun to continue living.
Of course, the things stolen here cannot be thrown away. Before they leave, they must either sell them or rent them out to others.
"No." Mrs. Wang's face sank: "My second daughter-in-law is pregnant, and she is unstable and prone to miscarriage. If she miscarries while breaking down the house at the foot of the mountain, can you be responsible?"
Oh, this is putting the responsibility on them.
Lin Yuandong and Lin Yuanxi went to see Lin Xiangrong immediately.
Eldest niece, please say something to remind us.
【abortion?It’s so funny that her baby is already unstable and there are signs of miscarriage on the way. Why didn’t she tell her that she was just waiting for the miscarriage to put the blame on us and blackmail our house? 】
Lin Xiangrong rolled her eyes and asked abruptly: "Then why are you still on the road when your pregnancy is unstable?"
