Lin Shuisheng looked at his son who was already taller than him, and suddenly realized that the little kid who only reached his waist had unknowingly become a man who could stand alone.
The two figures of the quiet and honest son in the memory and the son who was standing next to his mother with an angry face confronting him quietly overlapped.
The filial piety he had insisted on for many years collided with his own flesh and blood, which made his somewhat dull mind not know how to react, so he could only stand there in silence.
Old Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Shuisheng who didn't say a word and was extremely angry. She originally thought that Lin Qiu would be soft-hearted because Lin Shuisheng was his biological father, but she didn't expect that Lin Shuisheng would be so useless.
Looking at Lin Hu, who only dared to stand behind her and cheer, and the taciturn Lao San next to her, Old Mrs. Lin made a judgment and made up her mind not to place her hopes on these two people who were completely unreliable, and could only rely on herself. .
Old Mrs. Lin leaned on a cane and took two slow steps forward. Although she was old, she had been famous in the village for her fierce energy for many years. These two steps were full of energy.
"Lin Qiu's mother, are you sure you won't let Lin Qiu take out this money?" Old Mrs. Lin asked.
"Don't blame my mother for everything. Let's not mention whether we have the money or not. Even if we do, I won't be able to give it to you. You should give up on this!"
Lin Qiu looked at Old Mrs. Lin questioning his mother directly, and knew that this old lady only dared to pick weak persimmons. She was so angry that she walked forward and said.
"Okay, okay, then don't blame me."
Suddenly, Mrs. Lin cleared her throat, sat directly on the ground, carefully placed the crutch beside her, raised her voice and shouted:
"It's unreasonable. I've raised this little brat since I was a kid, but now that something happened at home and we need money, he won't pay a penny, and he's still here scolding me as an old woman."
"Who have I been working for all these years? I have raised a bunch of sons, none of whom are devoted to me. I have raised a grandson, but in the end he is not filial to me."
"The third child married a foreign wife. In the end, his heart turned toward the outside world and he was not filial to me, my biological mother."
When Lin Hu and Lin Shuisheng saw Mrs. Lin sitting on the ground, they hurriedly came to pull her up, but she refused to let them pull her up.
Mrs. Lin's angry voice instantly spread throughout the village. Neighbors nearby quickly came out to see what was going on.
As soon as they came over, they saw Old Mrs. Lin sitting on the ground and rolling around, and Lin Hu and Lin Shuisheng standing beside her, pulling her. Then they saw Lin Qiu's mother standing opposite them and a bunch of people behind her. Child.
One of the kind-faced men walked up to Lin Shuisheng, pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice what happened. Lin Shuisheng had a hard time explaining the complicated situation. He had always been stupid, so he could only deal with it in silence with his head lowered.
The man saw Lin Shuisheng's appearance. He had lived with him in the village for so many years and knew what kind of character he was. He was just about to turn around and ask other people when he heard Lin Hu shouting:
"Everyone, come and take a look, look at this unfilial bastard Lin Qiu," Lin Hu shouted proudly to the crowd who had just gathered: "Lin Qiu won more than 3,000 in the lottery. Now something happened at home and he needs the money. But he didn’t pay a penny and even hit my grandma with his hand.”
Lin Qiu saw that Lin Hu's mouth was like a big pot. He never dared to overestimate the virtues of this family, but he didn't expect them to be so inferior.
After hearing what Lin Hu said, the crowd over there turned around and whispered to the people next to them, pointing in this direction as they spoke. Just by looking at them, you could tell that what they said was not good.
At this time, another man walked up to Lin Qiu and said to his mother: "Oh, my third daughter-in-law, you see what's going on here, why don't you just give them the money and it won't cause too much trouble?" So ugly.”
Lin Qiu saw the man walking in front of them. He was famous for being a conciliatory person in the village, and she sneered at what he said.
He ignored the man and just took a step forward and said to everyone: "Fellow folks, it's not that I don't want to take the money, it's that my grandma and my cousin heard the slander from somewhere and want to pass it through unfounded To sow discord."
He paused and continued: "And as everyone knows, our family and his family separated two days ago and broke off the relationship. They are two families, so according to the law, my family's property has nothing to do with his family's. relation."
He turned to Mrs. Lin and smiled: "Besides, grandma, you probably don't know that you will go to jail for robbing other people's money."
Lin Qiu thought to himself that in this era, everyone still respects and fears the law, and their education level is not high. They don't know that Sanqian has not yet reached the level of going to jail.
The people in the village are not well educated. They all know that the son of the third son of the Lin family has always been good at studying, and they subconsciously trust what he says.
The same was true for Mrs. Lin. After hearing these words, she finally started to panic.
Old Mrs. Lin, who was rolling around on the ground, could only think of the words "go to jail" and her hands were trembling. She was even more frightened when she remembered how the police came to question her that day.
When the surrounding people heard about such serious consequences, they quickly stood up and advised Mrs. Lin: "Old lady, if we are short of money, let's get it from other places. Let's find a way together and the problem will be solved."
"And taking money directly from others regardless of their wishes is also a kind of robbery." Lin Qiu stood nearby and said quietly.
"Oh, look at you kid. Grandma also knows that your family is in trouble, and I didn't say anything about taking it from you."
Old Mrs. Li finally realized that she was in Lin Qiu's hands and couldn't get any better today, so she patted her butt and stood up, and said to Lin Qiu shakily.
"If your family has any difficulties in the future, remember to come see grandma."
In the end, Mrs. Lin still tried to save her face, even though everyone around her knew what kind of virtue she was.
At this time, Chen Qingxiu, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly said: "No, we will never go to your house again. As long as you don't come to trouble us, let's end it like this."
She watched the farce coldly for a long time. Seeing the relatives who once lived under the same roof repeatedly bullied her and Lin Qiu, Chen Qingxiu's heart slowly cooled down, and the last trace of her heart burned for the Lin family. The light that was burning went out, and the expectations in my heart for this family were completely gone.
It wasn't until the incident was almost over that she finally had a chance to interject.
After hearing what her mother said, Lin Qiu knew that she had completely given up on this family, so she said even more rudely: "You should leave quickly, you are not welcome in my home."
His mother might still care about her face, but he wouldn't. After suffering so much oppression from this family, it would be nice to be able to talk to them nicely, but he still wants to give them good face? What a wishful thinking!
"Little bastard, just wait for me." Old Mrs. Lin muttered in a low voice through gritted teeth, and then led Lin Hu and Lin Shuisheng away in despair.
Lin Shuisheng looked here intently for a few seconds before leaving. Without saying the last word, he turned around and followed his mother back.
Seeing that they finally left, Lin Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, please leave. There's nothing to see anymore. Let's all go back." He turned around and said to the group of people watching the fun, telling them to disperse quickly.
