Old things in Nancheng

What does it mean that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, what does it mean that paper cannot wrap fire? After Chen Wangshu, Lin Zhilan was discovered again. When Wang Zimo heard Yan'er asking herself persistently, she was really speechless.

Yan'er's eyes are very similar to Wang Zimo's. She inherited Liu's slender and bright eyes. She is especially charming when she pretends to be pitiful. Even if she asks a question, it doesn't have too much lethality, but it will make people feel cute.But Wang Zimo didn't think Yan'er was cute at this time, and of course Lin Zhilan was on the list of hateful, because she actually glanced at him teasingly at such a critical juncture, looking like she was watching a good show.

Wang Zimo closed the courtyard door tightly with a headache, pulled the awkward Yan'er into the room, and said to Yan'er, "Call me sister-in-law."

"elder brother!"

Yan'er didn't want to, Wang Zimo and Lin Zhilan were clearly inappropriate, how could she speak out.Although, this elder sister is very good-looking, and her elder brother is considered superior in terms of appearance, if it is a Ming matchmaker who is marrying, Yan'er will be very willing to accept this sister-in-law, but the key is that they are fornicating!

"Yan'er, the matter between brother and your sister-in-law is very complicated. I will explain it to you later, but you must recognize this sister-in-law, and you cannot tell this matter to others, not even your mother." Wang Zimo She said to Yan'er forcefully that others might not have the courage, but to her always well-behaved younger sister, Wang Zimo still showed the demeanor of a big brother.

Yan'er respects and sympathizes with Wang Zimo. The two of them have been kissed since they were young. She rarely sees Wang Zimo talking to her so seriously. Obviously, her attitude made her angry.Lin Zhilan on the side smiled lightly at the two sisters' quarrel, with an attitude of staying out of the matter. Although she didn't remember the past, from her point of view, Yan'er was such a docile person that she didn't threaten at all. It's the Liu family, that's a good show.

Yan'er was finally no match for Wang Zimo's persistence, and she called out in a low voice, "Sister-in-law."

When Wang Zimo heard this, a gratified smile instantly filled his face. She felt very happy to be recognized by her family, even Yan'er, who had the least right to speak in the family.And Lin Zhilan, like a sister-in-law, smiled, took Yan'er's hand, and said: "Your elder brother often talks about you to me. You are cute, sensible, and kind-hearted. All the boys from ten miles and eight villages want to marry you back." At the time, I said she was selling melons. When I saw you today, I realized that what your elder brother said was not true, but that you were modest. Look at the water, if I were a man, I would also be moved."

"Lan'er, I didn't lie to you, my younger sister is prettier than me." Wang Zimo winked, and sang the oboe with Lin Zhilan.

"Looks good, you are all good-looking, I am the only one who has wronged me, I have wronged you." Lin Zhilan rolled her eyes at the stinging Prince Mo, and said to Yan'er: "Come here early in the morning, sister Yan'er must be hungry." , my sister will stay for lunch today, when your elder brother went to the city a few days ago, he bought some bacon, it was delicious."

"Sister-in-law, don't bother." Yan'er was very disturbed by the compliment, and felt that this sister-in-law seemed too enthusiastic.

"My family, what's the trouble? You stay with your elder brother, and I'm going to cook." Lin Zhilan patted Yan'er's hand, and then went to the kitchen, leaving room for the sisters to talk, she is such a smart person , how could she not see that Yan'er came to the house today to discuss something with Wang Zimo.

Wang Zimo also noticed it, poured Yan'er a cup of hot water, brought out some pastries, and asked softly, "Yan'er, is there something wrong at home?"

Yan'er's eyes turned red when she heard the words, and she said aggrievedly: "My father beat me up."

"What? Okay, what did your father beat someone for?"

"It's that Zhao San in our village who has been at loggerheads with my father. The bamboo grove in our house has grown a lot of winter bamboo shoots recently, and Zhao San comes to steal them every night. The good new bamboo shoots have only grown sharp, and he digs them away. My father was so angry that he hid in the woods the night before yesterday, and Zhao San came again, and my father hit him with a few hoes in the dark, and broke his head." Yan'er felt sorry for the bamboo shoots, and worried at the same time. Her father, tears flowed down involuntarily.

Zhao San from Shenjia Village was as notorious as Yan'er's father Shen Liang when he was young.As the saying goes, people fight for breath, Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, even if they are poor and settled, they still have to fight for the first name. Shen Liang and Zhao San miraculously did not get together, but chose to work alone, and they did it with enthusiasm. Squeeze the opponent down, and the beam is so inexplicably knotted.

Later, in order to get rid of the Liu family, after weighing between Shen Liang and Zhao San, the Wang family chose the more miserable Shen Liang, which undoubtedly stimulated Zhao San again.Although Mrs. Liu has a bad reputation, she is really handsome, and the Wang family gave a lot of money to cover up their mouths in order to prevent Mrs. Liu from making a big fuss. For Zhao San, who was poor and settled down, such a Liu family was a good daughter-in-law who couldn't be found even with a lantern. Shen Liang was hit by the pie in the sky.

After Shen Liang got married, Shen Liang and Zhao San's Liang Zi were completely married, and there was no room for reconciliation.Wang Zimo was not surprised that Zhao San was able to steal the bamboo shoots, she was just puzzled, since Zhao San stole the bamboo shoots first, Shen Liang was not wrong, why Yan'er was so excited, and came to her eagerly.

"Yan'er, how seriously is Zhao San injured?" Wang Zimo asked.

"The doctor was invited, and he said he was going to lie in bed for a long time, and he was going to be a corvee soon, and Zhao San would definitely not be able to go." Yan'er wiped her tears and complained: "My father is really, he didn't wait for him to steal the bamboo shoots. They beat him up, caught thieves and took the stolen goods, but Zhao San had no bamboo shoots in hand at that time, he said he couldn't sleep at night and went wandering in the woods, and the lion opened his mouth to blackmail my father."

"Is there no one in your village to help your father? Don't they know what Zhao San is like?" Wang Zimo asked.

"elder brother!"

Wang Zimo's words touched Yan'er's sore spot. No one knew what Zhao San was like, but how could Shen Liang be better? The villagers saw that Zhao San had no bamboo shoots in his hands, so how could they help Shen Liang speak.Now if he does not agree to Zhao San's request and misses the corvee, Shen Liang is very likely to be imprisoned by the government, which is unimaginable for the Shen family.

Wang Zimo also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he couldn't help asking awkwardly: "How much does Zhao San need to give up?"

"Yesterday, I first talked about five pennies, but my mother refused, and ran to Zhao's house to make trouble. The two families quarreled fiercely. Later, they decided on three pennies, but they must be given to them before the corvee, otherwise, their family will not send people." Congrats to Zhao San, but my father, how can I get so much money!" Yan'er said anxiously.

Three strings of money is really a lot. Farmers only save a few dollars a year, and Shen Liang is a master who spends money whenever he has money. Otherwise, the dowry brought by Mrs. Liu would not be squandered by him. Shi reached out to himself from time to time.

But Wang Zimo knew that the Liu family had enough money of her own. Since the Liu family gave birth to her youngest son five years ago, she realized that if she followed Shen Liang to spend extravagantly, the family would soon be impoverished, so Wang Zimo gave her the money. She never told Shen Liang about the copper, and she also planned to send Yan'er to the Wang family so that she could earn a fortune for her youngest son, and when the time came to marry a daughter-in-law and buy land, she would be able to settle for the rest of her life.

Liu's family is rich, but they don't want to mend Shen Liang's hole, but let Yan'er come, which makes Wang Zimo very uncomfortable. The youngest son is his own, so isn't she his own? This is too biased.

"Yan'er, you heard what I said to my mother last time. Now your sister-in-law is pregnant, and the family expenses are also high. I just paid my taxes and I don't have much money in my hand. It's going to be another month. Chinese New Year is coming, I can't let your sister-in-law..."

"Brother, I know it's difficult for you, so don't say it." Yan'er interrupted Wang Zimo guiltily, glanced at the kitchen, and then said in a low voice: "Mother asked me to come to ask you to borrow money." , but if you don’t borrow it, Mother will not force you. Mother’s real idea is to ask you to help my father sell rice in the city.”

Yan'er said half a word, half a word, in fact, Liu Shi really wanted Wang Zimo to help mend the hole, but Wang Zimo said it dead last time, and she also knew that borrowing money is difficult to do, so she could only ask for it Secondly, ask Wang Zimo to help sell the rice. If Wang Zimo refuses to agree, she will sever ties with him.

If Lin Zhilan knew this, she would be overjoyed. Who would be unhappy after losing a big burden? This Liu really dared to say that she really didn't want to squeeze money out of Wang Zimo's hands.

When Wang Zimo heard that he didn't ask for money, he felt relieved a lot. To be honest, if Mrs. Liu said it in person, she would help anyway, but in this case, Lin Zhilan would definitely look at her face. Have a fight.

As the saying goes, when you marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, sometimes it is really embarrassing for those who are caught in the middle, especially the daughter-in-law is smart and tough, and the mother is unreasonable.In Wang Zimo's eyes, although Lin Zhilan's behavior was different from ordinary people, she was still kind-hearted. Compared with the women in the village, she was more generous. It was clear from how she treated Yan'er. Lin Zhilan really hated it, the rift between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already been formed invisibly.

"This year, the war in the north is intense and there is a shortage of food. I went to sell rice in the city a few days ago. A stone of rice can sell for 1000 and [-] yuan. If your father likes this price, then we will go tomorrow." Wang Zimo said.

"Brother, thank you, then I'll go back first." Yan'er said gratefully, in her heart, although her elder brother was a little weaker, he was still very responsible in doing things.

"Although the matter is urgent, it's not urgent. At this moment, your sister-in-law is already cooking, and you will go back after lunch."

"Then I'll help her."

It is also a miracle that such parents can raise such kind-hearted sisters.

Yan'er felt that her family's affairs had caused Wang Zimo trouble again, and she was also tired of her pregnant sister-in-law cooking and entertaining her. She felt very sorry, so she went to the kitchen. She insisted that Lin Zhilan sit and light the fire while she cooks in front of the stove.

Lin Zhilan felt that Yan'er's proposal was a heavenly sound. Her cooking skills were only as good as Wang Zimo's. She didn't know what level she was.The food she cooks won't kill anyone, but it's absolutely unpalatable, and she doesn't want to make a fool of herself in front of Wang Zimo's sister.

"Sister-in-law, why did you prepare so many dishes?"

Yan'er saw that the dishes on the stove had been prepared, including bacon, grass carp, eggs, leeks, bitter gourd, vermicelli, etc. It seemed that there were four dishes and one soup, two meat and three vegetables, and she thought it was a luxury for three people to eat. The family is not celebrating the New Year, and it has never been so rich.

"Your brother can eat, and you are growing up, so you can eat too much." Lin Zhilan felt that Yan'er was very pleasing to the eye, so naturally she didn't want to treat her badly.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you cook two dishes? I don't eat much." Yan'er asked shyly.

"When I'm at my elder brother's house, what's the point of being polite? Maybe you think my sister-in-law is mean." Lin Zhilan teased.

"No, sister-in-law is not that kind of person." Yan'er retorted hastily.

"Since it's not, then don't worry, your brother always loves you, and I'll love you too. We are our own family, you know?" Lin Zhilan said gently.

Yan'er couldn't help nodding, although she was still a little awkward in her heart, but she smiled and treated each other sincerely, and she couldn't greet each other with a cold face, and her elder brother had always been lonely, so it was a blessing to have such a beautiful and gentle sister. good thing.

Wang Zimo had to know that Yan'er thought Lin Zhilan was gentle, and would probably die of depression. Which daughter-in-law would be as tough as Lin Zhilan.

Yan'er is dexterous, hardworking since she was a child, and cooks very quickly, and the food is delicious. The family of three eats happily.During the meal, Lin Zhilan noticed that Yan'er's hair was a little yellow and her body was very thin. She didn't look like she was 13 years old. She guessed that her food at home must not be good, so she couldn't help feeling distressed, and she would pick meat for her from time to time.

Lin Zhilan's enthusiasm and intimacy moved Yan'er very much. Although she had a father and a mother compared to Wang Zimo, but because she was a girl, she was not valued by her family, so her treatment at home was very low. Her life is not as good as Wang Zimo's.

Seeing that Lin Zhilan and her sister got along very well, Wang Zimo suddenly had an idea in her heart. In her opinion, this idea reflected her wisdom.

Yan'er left after eating and helping to wash the dishes.Wang Zimo sent Yan'er to Zhuangtou, and then came back with some words of reassurance. At this time, Lin Zhilan had already made her tea, laid out the paper, and polished the ink, because Wang Zimo copied the books every afternoon. time.

"It's really a black-hearted woman, and she won't let me rest." Wang Zimo also learned Lin Zhilan's black humor, and joked.

"Who told you to raise a daughter-in-law and children, but also take care of your mother and sister, and even take care of the affairs of your stepfather's family. If you don't work hard to make money, my children and I may not even be able to drink porridge in the future." Lin Zhilan was not angry either, she smiled and said sarcastic remarks.

"This time I didn't come to ask for money, but just asked me to help sell rice. Don't worry, I'm not a fool." Wang Zimo explained, fearing that Lin Zhilan would respond.

"That's your business, I don't care about it!" Lin Zhilan gave Wang Zimo a white look, and explained bluntly, as if she was stingy.

"Okay, you don't care about this matter, but I have an idea, which is related to you, do you want to listen?" Wang Zimo stroked his brush slowly and asked.
