Rebirth and Raising a Baby

The village chief's family lives at the head of the village, which is a little far away from the old house.

On the way Lin Ling walked over, he inevitably bumped into a few aunts and was dragged into a chat.

These aunts who had come to the relocation banquet had just picked wild vegetables and returned home. Now each of them had a vegetable basket full of wild vegetables, mushrooms and fungus, which made Lin Ling a little envious.

Lin Ling didn't know which one to answer first, as each person was asked one sentence at a time.

"Aunts, have you just finished picking wild vegetables?"

Lin Ling chose not to answer and asked back.

"Yeah, it just rained the day before yesterday, so I went to pick fungus today, and there are a lot of them." Aunt Lin said with a smile, her tone proud.

Only experienced people like them know how to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms and fungus after the rain, and they can find the most places with mushrooms and fungus.

"My aunts are amazing, this is a great harvest!"

Lin Ling took advantage of the situation and praised a few more words.

"It's not as good as you. My son still wants to eat the food you cook. It doesn't taste good at home these two days!" Aunt Lin mentioned this, a little upset.

I have been cooking for decades, and I am compared to a little daughter-in-law.

The son in the family is still naive, so he wanted to be Lin Ling's baby, and she was so angry that she made him a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots on the spot.

"Lin Ling, who did you learn to cook from?"

"Hey, I was very satisfied with the food that day, and I didn't have to eat dinner when I got home. You are so generous!"

"Why didn't you know that your cooking was so delicious before?!"

Speaking of cooking, several other aunts also became interested.

Aunt Ma asked with a smile: "I heard that the village head bought a recipe with someone. I have been looking for someone to make tools and stalls for the past two days. Could it be that I bought it from you?"

Lin Ling's heart tightened. She didn't expect these old women to be so well-informed. After only two days, they knew everything.

"My aunts think highly of me. I don't have this ability. It's all for face. In fact, my cooking is only average." Lin Ling hurriedly humbly belittled herself.

"I heard that your sister-in-law also learned how to cook from you?" The fourth aunt asked curiously, her eyes flickering.

Lin Ling nodded hesitantly. The fourth aunt's tone seemed to indicate what she thought about Chu Xiuhua?
Aunt Lin hurriedly asked: "Did your mother-in-law say so, when will your sister-in-law let him go?"

"Fangren" is a dialect, and it means to marry in the village.

This is asking Chu Xiuhua when she can get married!
"Still early!"

Lin Ling replied with a serious heart, "Xiuhua is still in high school, so she won't be able to go to college in the future, and it will take at least two years for her to get married."

The aunts were silent for a while.

The kids at home can't wait.

Good girls are always begged by several families. They are mothers, so they have to look for them to consider for their sons.

"That's very good……"

"Xiuhua is not too young, she will be 20 in two years. When you were [-] years old, you gave birth to a big baby..." Fourth Aunt didn't want to give up, and continued to lobby.

Lin Ling showed a fake business smile: "My mother-in-law is in charge of this matter, and it's useless if I say it."

So, don't ask her! ! !

"Damn, it's not easy being a mother, how can you be willing to marry off your daughter early..."

While the aunts were still feeling emotional, Lin Ling took the opportunity to run away.

After turning two corners, Lin Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Old women are really difficult to deal with, especially when there are several old women.

Lin Ling muttered, turned around and almost bumped into Li Qiuqin.

Li Qiuqin held a laundry tub in her hand, dressed in simple attire, and looked a little haggard.

Lin Ling was embarrassed. She turned her head and saw that the Wu family's house was next to her!
"You, you're back from washing..."

It was the first time for Lin Ling to meet her. She had seen her in other places before and recognized Li Qiuqin's face.

It is estimated that the other party is the same.

"Yes." Li Qiuqin replied dryly.

"Are you sick?" Lin Ling asked when she saw that her face was pale and her eyes were black.

Li Qiuqin shook her head: "It's my daughter, she had a cold and a fever a few days ago."

Lin Ling let out an "oh".

No wonder Li Qiuqin and Li Cuifeng were not seen at the relocation banquet a few days ago. It turned out that the child was sick, and the whole family was probably worried.

"Not yet?"

Li Qiuqin shook her head, then nodded again: "It's almost fine, but it's not very comfortable yet."

Lin Ling nodded, not knowing what to say.

"Would you like to come in and sit down?"

……

Lin Ling didn't know why he agreed to Li Qiuqin's invitation by accident, and was still a little dazed while sitting in the room.

The house is well maintained, but it looks a little empty.

There is only one dining table and two stools in the main room, without any extra decorations.

Li Qiuqin noticed her gaze and said, "There were two other villagers who died with my father-in-law. Their families came to the door and robbed the family's savings and all valuables, including furniture. compensation……"

Lin Ling opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

She really didn't know about it.

"it's already over."

Li Qiuqin shook her head, not paying much attention.

If it weren't for those two families who came to rob her, she wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation, and her daughter wouldn't have been weak and sick until now because she didn't have money to see a doctor, and she would have a serious illness every season.

Fortunately, there are parents to help, but they are troubled...

"What happened to Chu Yi before, I actually forgot about him a long time ago, but my mother still had fantasies..." Li Qiuqin smiled bitterly.

After news of the relocation banquet came out, her mother probably gave up on her completely.

Lin Ling has a good cooking skill and gave birth to two sons for him.

Li Qiuqin couldn't even figure it out, how could Chu Yi give up her consummated family and look at such an ominous woman as herself...

"Then what do you live on now?"

Lin Ling couldn't imagine how Li Qiuqin would support the family alone with his crazy mother-in-law and frail daughter.

"I usually help people make clothes, and I can earn a little money."

"My parents work in the fields and subsidize me from time to time."

It may be that she has been strong by herself for too long. At this moment, Li Qiuqin just wants someone to talk to.

Even if this person is Lin Ling whom she admires so much, who has everything she wants.

"Have you ever thought about doing business?"

Lin Ling asked tentatively, with a vague idea in her mind.

Li Qiuqin shook her head: "I still have to look after my daughter, I don't have the energy to do business, not to mention I'm a woman and I have no money..."

Lin Ling understood and didn't mention it again.

After a while, Nannan woke up and ran out of the house.

Nannan is five years old this year, only weighs over 30 kilograms, and is quite thin and tall.

The face has inherited Li Qiuqin's softness, and the eyebrows and eyes are somewhat heroic, probably inherited from his father's genes.

She is a very lovable girl, with a well-behaved temperament, and when she looks at people timidly, it makes people feel soft-hearted.

Lin Ling patted her head.

The child's nutrition is not very good, and the hair is very soft.

Li Qiuqin said to her, "Call me Auntie."

The girl obeyed, obediently shouted, and looked at Lin Ling at the same time.

Lin Ling smiled back, took out two big white rabbit toffees from her pocket, and handed them to her.

Nannan didn't answer, but looked at Li Qiuqin first.

She waited for Li Qiuqin to nod before accepting it.
