Lin Xixi thought that it would take a few days of discussion in the village, but unexpectedly, when she came back from collecting herbs in the mountains, two people were waiting at her door.
Du Shi and little Du Shi, it seems that they have not seen each other a few times since Du Shi became pregnant successfully as a child, and today they even came to the house specially.
Seeing her coming back, Du immediately said, "Joy, where have you been? We have been waiting for you at the door for a long time."
Lin Yuxi stood still in front of her, "I went up the mountain, what's the matter?"
"Look what you said, I am your eldest aunt, we are a family, why can't I come if nothing happens? I'm here to see you and Zhong Qian."
It's really strange to hear such words from my mother's family.
Lin Hexi said, "It's a long way from Xingshu Village to Day'ao Village. Why would my aunt have to make this trip?"
Du immediately said, "It's far away. Just go over the top of the mountain and walk a few steps to get there."
"Oh." Lin Yuxi suddenly realized, "It turns out it's not that far away. I've been married for several years, and my mother-in-law's family has never been here once. I thought it was a long way away, and I don't know how long it would take to come here, so I didn't come."
Lin Xixi was complaining about the original owner again. As long as these people took her seriously, they would not be bullied like this by the Chen family.
Mrs. Du also heard it and hurriedly laughed, "In the past few years, I was worried about your sister-in-law. She never had a child. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, how could your uncle and I have a grandson?"
Ah, your grandparents are also very happy."
Lin Yuxi had no intention of opening the door, so Du had no choice but to say it herself, "Let's go in and sit down."
"Auntie, if you have any questions, please tell me, our house is built in a remote place, and there are often tigers in the mountains behind. It's hard to tell if I scare you."
Little Du Shi trembled with fright, and Du Shi was about the same, and calmed down, "Didn't I hear that Zhong Qian won the first place? We were also happy and sent you a basket of eggs specially for Zhong Qian to recuperate."
Lin Xixi came over and took a look. The so-called basket of eggs was only ten. It was hard for her to carry it in a basket.
"How can I accept so much? Auntie can just take it back. I am a married girl and I don't dare to have a relationship with the Lin family. Auntie, please leave quickly."
Lin Yuxi turned around and entered the courtyard. Du immediately followed and looked around.
"Joy, I heard that the reason why Zhong Qian didn't join the army was because you gave him three hundred taels of silver?"
Lin Joy nodded, "Well, that's what happened."
Before Du Shi could speak, she immediately said, "Auntie, you feel sorry for us and are you going to give us some money?"
Du Shi was stunned for a moment and quickly shook her head, "No, that's not what I meant. I don't have enough money to spend on myself... Ah, no, I mean where do you earn so much money? Since you have connections, let your sister-in-law
Let’s make money too.”
"Do you just want to be an apprentice at Renji Hall? Your sister-in-law can do it too. She only needs to study for a few days."
Du Shi doesn't care about so much, as long as he can make money. People like Lin Yuxi can make money as apprentices, why can't little Du Shi?
Lin Yuxi had just asked them to follow him in because it was fun, but now he felt annoyed and immediately drove them away, "I don't have that free time, I have to sweep the floor, aunt and sister-in-law, please leave quickly."
Mrs. Du saw her holding a broom and heading straight for their feet. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Lin Joy, don't try to monopolize the Lin family's things. Don't think that I don't know. You took your father's secret recipe. Otherwise, where would you make any money?"
The money you got?”
"What's your father's belongs to the Lin family. There's no reason to give it to a girl's family. You have to give it to me."
Lin Yuxi didn't expect that she would even think of this level. She was so shameless and invincible.
She threw the broom away and said, "Lin family's stuff? I'm afraid no one knows better than my eldest aunt what I brought in my bag when I got married. I wish I didn't even have a change of clothes. Now that I'm worried about money, I come to see me. Really
Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Du said, "Who knows what you stole."
Lin Xixi punched out, hitting her right in the face. Du Shi didn't expect her to be like this, she was stunned, "How dare you hit me!"
"I'm beating you, and I'm kicking you. Get out of here, do you think I'm still as easy to bully as before? If you dare to come to your door again, I'll just let the dog bite you." She drove them away with a beating and a kick.
He went out and blew his hair on his forehead.
It's really terrible to have such a natal family. I thought that Chen Zhongqian might be successful in the examination, so I wanted to establish a relationship. Seeing that the house was fully furnished, I also wanted to make money. Who gave me the courage?
Mrs. Du was not someone who could play tricks. She thought Lin Yuxi was easy to bully if she dared to come to the door. After scolding her outside for a while, she took little Du back home.
After this incident, Lin Yuxi reconsidered the importance of scientific examinations.
Being an official has always been the envy of the world, and in these troubled times, I am afraid it is even more so.
Mrs. Du took her daughter-in-law back home. She was still angry and was cursing, which didn't sound good.
"Mom, didn't you say you can't let grandma know about this? It's almost time to get home, so let's not talk about it yet." Little Du reminded her.
Only then did Mrs. Du stop. She didn't want the old lady at home to know, but it wasn't because the old lady didn't allow her to bother Lin Yuxi.
But she wanted to keep the money for herself. If the old lady knew about it, wouldn't she keep it in her own pocket?
She waved her hand again, "It doesn't matter, there is no money anyway. I didn't expect that Lin Hexi's temperament has changed so much. She used to let me flatten her at home, but she didn't even dare to say a word. Now she dares to treat me
Let’s take action.”
Little Du said, "As soon as I saw my sister-in-law, I knew she was a capable person."
Du curled her lips, "What ability do you have? It's just good luck that she married a scholar. Otherwise, how could Renjitang give her face?"
Mrs. Du looked down on Lin Hexi, because he was the person she had bullied for many years, so she was unwilling to admit that Lin Hexi was capable.
But I also wanted to get some benefits from Lin Hexi, and now that I haven't gotten any, I'm even more angry.
"Hmph, it's weird to say that I was the one who arranged this marriage for her in the first place. The boy from the Chen family was obviously very ill and was about to die. I was still thinking that she would be a widow after she got married. Who knows when?
Not only has he not died as the years have passed, he has become more and more capable."
Little Du said, "Maybe my sister-in-law is blessed with good fortune. Originally, the husband of the Chen family was dying, but as soon as she got married, her fate changed. Her health has improved, and her path to the scientific examination has gone smoothly."
Du Shi sighed, "It's useless to say more. If I had known that he was a lucky man, I should have married Qiao Niang to him. Maybe he would have succeeded."
Mrs. Du just regretted it. If she had known this, she should have been nicer to Lin Yuxi. But now, she was too cruel to her and now she doesn't care about her anymore.
