Chapter 55: Poor old lady three
The corner of Linlang's mouth twitched slightly. In fact, she really hated this kind of privilege, but looking at the old and young in the family, if they were allowed to eat freely, the young would probably not be able to eat a few pieces at all, so she only The capable man sighed, picked up the spoon, and gave each person a spoonful. As for whether it was meat, tofu, or radish, it depended on their luck.
"Mom, why are all the radishes in my bowl? I'm still pregnant with the flesh and blood of your old Lin family!" The third daughter-in-law immediately became unhappy. She put down her chopsticks, covered her belly that was not yet swollen, and began to yell. Not fair.
Linlang had a headache from the noise. If it was the original owner, he would have started comforting his daughter-in-law long ago, but Linlang didn't care at all!
"Your husband spent so much money, what's wrong with you missing a few pieces of meat? If you want to eat meat, go make money and buy it yourself. Don't make any nonsense about me!"
As soon as Linlang finished speaking, the whole room fell silent. No one expected that Linlang, the third daughter-in-law whom she loved the most, could say such a thing. You must know that it was a blatant accusation that the third daughter-in-law was not living up to expectations and spent money like water. How could this be? Already? Is it possible that the sun really came out in the west today?
Lin Changyuan's face was also a little ugly. He was holding his chopsticks, unable to go up or down. He wanted to just walk away, but he couldn't bear to part with the meat in his bowl!
Linlang looked at the colorful faces of everyone and suddenly smiled, "Okay, let's eat quickly. It's probably only the last few meals. It will be difficult to get together by then!"
The eldest daughter-in-law panicked all of a sudden, "Mom, what do you mean? We are a family..."
Linlang lowered her head, "I have thought about it for a long time. The tree is big and it needs to branch. Our family has a big business and it is time to separate. Let's eat the food first. Then we will call a few relatives at home. Then the whole family will be divided." Sit down and discuss the separation! ”
As soon as he heard that the family was going to be divided, the eldest son's eyes lit up. It was said that he was the eldest son in the family and had three sons, so he would be able to share more of the family property anyway!
The second child also agreed to the family separation, but his main concern was that he only had three daughters. If he didn't give birth to a son, he would probably have to look up to his brother's children. If the family separated, he probably wouldn't be able to take advantage of it. What kind of thing, plus my legs and feet are injured again, I guess I won’t be able to work during this period of time. If the family is separated at this time, the whole family will probably starve to death!
The third child is the one who least agrees with the separation of the family. He has never been to the ground since he was a child, and he only knows how to study. If the family is separated at this time, what should he do? Work in the fields? Wouldn't that be a joke? And if the family is separated, who will support me in studying?
"Mom, I don't agree to the separation of the family!" Lin Changyuan immediately became unhappy and stood up. After realizing that he was a little impulsive, he stammered an explanation, "My second brother has bad legs and feet, and my wife is still pregnant. , if we separate at this time, our two families will not be able to survive..."
Linlang's attitude was very resolute, "Don't worry, although we are separated, we still live together and help each other if we need anything!
Second brother, I know your legs and feet are not good. Don’t worry, your two brothers are not the kind of heartless ruthless people. They will definitely help you!
Third daughter-in-law, even if you are pregnant and in confinement, I, the mother-in-law, will still take care of you, not to mention your two sisters-in-law! ”
The eldest daughter-in-law almost went crazy thinking about separating the family, so she naturally agreed without hesitation, "Third brother and sister, just be at ease, I promise to take care of you properly!"
Having said that, even if the third child doesn't want to separate the family, the matter is already settled.
Everyone ate this meal with a lot of worries. Even though there was meat in it, some people ate it happily, while some people ate it with so much worry that it even tasted tasteless. They tossed and turned and couldn't sleep until dawn the next day.
"Mom, I really know I was wrong. Just hit me. I really don't want to separate the family. If you don't exist in this family, it will lose its backbone, and I can't live without you!" Lin Changyuan knelt at the door. Outside, I cried with snot and tears, "When my father was still here, When the time comes, we three brothers have to support each other, so we can't separate." Linlang had a headache due to the sound of crying, and then pushed away from the yard. At the same time, other people in the family were also woken up and were crying bitterly. The third child was crying, and everyone was a little confused.
Linlang pointed at his clothes, and then said slowly under the doubtful eyes of the third child: "Lao San, you still remember your father. I remember that when your father was still alive, our family had to make two sets of clothes a year. , but now, not only have I not made a new dress in the past few years, but even your nieces and nephews have not made a new dress. Do you really not know why? < br>
I'm afraid that if we don't separate, our family will really be dragged down by you. After the separation in two days, you can take your share of the family business, whether you continue to study or continue to manage the family business. That’s fine, you make up your own mind anyway and it has nothing to do with our family anymore! ”
Lin Changyuan gritted his teeth hard. He admitted that he did spend some money studying, but once he became the number one scholar, the whole family would have to follow the chickens and dogs to heaven. Why would it be his fault instead?
Seeing that everyone was getting up, Linlang said directly to the boss: "Boss, don't be idle anymore. Go and invite the elders of the family over. Second daughter-in-law, please go and invite our relatives over and discuss the separation of the family." ”
"Mom, don't be angry with your brother. In fact, I heard your conversation before. If you really can't do it...it's okay for me to be a maid. Anyway, I still work at home and outside. It's all the same. !" The person who spoke was Taohua, the youngest girl in the family. She should be the most favored, but she lived the hardest life. She had to help with the housework at a young age.
Linlang felt uncomfortable in her heart. As expected, her daughter was the most considerate. She patted her daughter's hand and said, "That's nonsense. Even if the family is poor and begging for food, there is no reason to sell one's son or daughter!
Okay, just forget about this and just stay in your room! ”
Linlang asked the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law to cook some food, and then steamed dozens of white flour buns.
The eldest daughter-in-law’s eyes lit up, “Mom, is that a white-flour steamed bun for each person?”
When I said this, everyone couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. You must know that it is a white-flour steamed bun, and you may not be able to eat one during the Chinese New Year!
Linlang shook his head. It wasn't that he was stingy, it was mainly because there was really no extra food at home.
"No, we eat black-faced steamed buns as usual at home. White-faced steamed buns are reserved for relatives and elders. Remember to fry some of the bacon left over from the New Year and scramble a few eggs. Don't let others see the joke!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone showed a disappointed expression, but they soon became excited again. After all, they can separate their families. As long as they have money, they can eat whatever they want!
