Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter Thirty-Six: She Becomes a Fine Old Woman Who Doesn't Even Let Her Son Go Away
Chapter Thirty-Six: She Becomes a Fine Old Woman Who Doesn't Even Let Her Son Go Away
"Hey, bullock cart! When did Mr. Lin become so rich?"
"The person lying in the car looks like Li San?"
"It's not like that, it's just that!"
So the villagers tried to piece together the source of the money Lin Tao used to buy the bullock cart.
The story goes like this: Li San was devoted to his filial piety, and hunted valuable prey with scars all over his body in the mountains for Lin's coffin book.
After getting money in the town, Lao Li's family owned an ox cart.
And she, who originally went to town to sell pheasants, became the evil mother who went to town to find Li San after hearing that Li San was rich.
In this story, Lin Tao becomes the one who deliberately kills her own man, and becomes a domineering old woman who doesn't even let her son go.
Although some people have stood up to speak for her, there is a saying that everyone agrees with. The more people say it, the more people will believe it.
Lin Tao didn't bother to explain.
It's not her responsibility to have a mouth on someone else's body!
When they returned to the courtyard of the Li family, Mrs. Xu took two little ones and stood on one side of the courtyard gate with Mrs. Zhu. From a distance, they looked like four stone sculptures, large and small.
As soon as the bullock cart stopped, Li Yi rushed out of the courtyard.
"Hey!" This kid actually came down from the mountain by himself?
The three ladies of the Xu family and the Zhu family, one behind the other, circled around the bullock cart.
Those who touched the wheels of carts, those who pulled the ears of cows, and even the tails of cows did not escape their curious little hands.
The cowboys were so annoyed that they mooed.
As soon as Lin Tao got out of the car, Xiao Li Qian threw herself into her arms.
"Why did grandma just come back? Gan'er, grandma, and aunt are waiting at the door every day."
Lin Tao looked at Xiao Linglan. The little girl was bolder than before and dared to look at her.
However, she still huddled behind Mrs. Xu and called out: "Grandma."
The clothes on my body were also changed into new ones with sleeves, and the skirt completely covered my feet.
Although the cloth is old, the clothes are neatly sewn.
On the cuffs, a small bell was embroidered with white thread.
"Are you hungry? Grandma has brought you delicious food. Come in quickly." Lin Tao led Xiao Li Qian into the yard.
The second child helped the third child into the east terraced house.
The family has few rooms and many people, so the third and fourth children have always lived in the same room.
The original owner is a mother-in-law. In this era, no matter how poor or miserable she is, she can still have a small single room.
If there is a mother-in-law on the head, the sons in their thirties and their teens and twenties will be squeezed onto the same kang, which is too much.
The fourth child and Zhu worked together to carry the purchased items into the yard.
"Brother, don't just stand and watch! Come over and help!"
Li Yi glanced at the old lady sitting by the stone table, and held hands with lingering fear.
Lin Tao asked what they had eaten at home these days.
Xiao Li Qian talked about all the treasures in his family in detail.
"My mother and aunt took us to dig wild vegetables, and my sister also found a large area of drumstick grass."
"Grandma Wang sent a basket of millet home the day before yesterday. We didn't eat it. We are waiting for grandma to come back and eat together."
In the past few days when she was away, they ate all the wild vegetables.
"Hurry, take out the rice and cook it. We haven't eaten for a day."
"Huh? Rice!!" Mrs. Xu exclaimed.
Looking at the rice in the sack, Xu's hands shook.
He pulled Li Er and asked, "Dad, did you buy this rice?"
"No! Don't stand still. Hurry up. Mom has been hungry all day."
While Mrs. Xu was boiling the rice in the water, she asked in a low voice: "His father! Where did he get so much money to buy both rice and cattle?"
Li Er sat on the floor of the kitchen shed, and like a storyteller, he talked about what he had experienced in the past few days, making him salivate.
The words inadvertently reveal admiration and pride.
This was the first time he experienced this feeling.
By the time he finished speaking, the floor of the stove shed was full of people.
"Grandma is so awesome!" Xiao Liqian clapped his hands and applauded.
"Yeah." Xiao Linglan agreed.
Li Si lowered his voice and whispered: "No, didn't you realize that something was wrong with the old lady?"
"What could be wrong?" Li Er said.
Mrs. Xu: "I don't think there's anything wrong with my mother." Even if there is, she thinks her mother-in-law is better now than before.
I also hope that my current mother-in-law can continue to be like this.
After living for half her life, she felt that for the first time there was hope for life.
"Like my mother, I think grandma is very good."
"Uh-huh."
The two little ones spoke in tandem, and little Linglan would always be her brother's little follower.
Li Si rolled his eyes at the three mothers and asked the question to Zhu Donghua.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
Mrs. Zhu added firewood to the stove, with no emotion on her face.
"What's wrong? We've already got rice in the pot."
In one sentence, Li Si was silenced.
"What are you all doing here?" Lin Tao came in carrying the washed fish and looked at the panic-stricken people.
Send Zhu to wash out the fish scales.
Then he asked the second child to clean up the fat meat he bought.
When Li Er took the meat out of the basket, all his eyes fell on the meat.
"Is this meat?" Xiao Liqian sighed.
Lin Tao then remembered that this was the first time the two little pigs had seen pork since they were born. They had never eaten pork before, they had only seen pigs running away.
As for fish, I’ve only seen other people’s houses get flooded in the river, so I don’t know what it’s like.
Overall, it was the best egg they had ever eaten, which was the only egg they could eat during the Chinese New Year.
That has to be the case when others give more.
If there were only three or five eggs, the original owner would basically only let Li Si eat them.
The two little ones didn't even dare to look at them, otherwise the original owner would think they wanted to eat, and would scold them at best, or slap them a few times at worst.
"Today we eat fish." Lin Tao rubbed the heads of the two little ones.
Xiao Li Qian shook his head repeatedly: "Qian'er doesn't want to eat fish, Gan'er can just eat wild vegetables."
"Yeah." Little Suzuran nodded in response.
Lin Tao endured her heartache and returned to the main room without saying a word.
After not coming back for a few days, the two daughters-in-law had tidied the house.
There was no dust on the table, only a straw mat and a straw pillow on the kang, which were also flat and neat.
At this time, Lin Tao noticed that there was a piece of cloth placed on the straw pillow.
Opened, the length and width are exactly the same as the kang.
It is made up of pieces of old cloth corners. On a small square of cloth in the middle, a small peach is embroidered with white thread.
The pin corners are not neat and the wiring is a bit messy.
You can tell at a glance that it must have been embroidered by someone new to embroidery.
However, the stitching of other stitching parts of the whole cloth is very skillful and very neat.
Lin Tao called Mrs. Xu in who was passing by the door.
"What's this?"
"Here, this is the cover my sister-in-law, Linglan and I made together for my mother. It's getting colder, so I hope you can sleep warmly."
After speaking, he explained in a panic: "Although it is a piece of cloth taken from an old piece of clothing that cannot be worn, I have washed it carefully and left it in the sun for a whole day. If Mom doesn't like it, I will take it away. " This chapter has been completed!
