After dressing as a widow

Green brick and tile houses are rare in any village. After a while, Lin Zhen saw Zhou Tao's house from a distance. It really was two newly built green brick and tile houses, and the beam protruding from the main room was brand new.

Moreover, there was a group of acquaintances standing in front of the house—Datianzi Village Gu's father and mother's family, who were rolling up their sleeves and trousers, scolding Zhou Tao and Ma Shi in a circle.

A young man carrying a hoe came down from the top, Lin Zhen hurriedly stopped him: "I would like to ask, brother, how long have these people been here to scold Zhou Tao's house, why didn't any of Zhou Tao's family come out?"

The young man was not used to seeing the Gu family who scolded others, his heart pounded a little, he looked at the handsome little brother in front of him, and said, "You thin arms and legs, don't go there."

"That family is very messy. They come at this time every day. They don't go back until night if they don't scold them. If they want someone to take a look, they gather around like crazy and say that this blue brick and tile house belongs to them. Let Zhou Tao They paid back the house and the money.”

"Then Zhou Tao's family will stay at home and not come out?" Mrs. Gu is not a good person, and she scolded for a long time without repeating a word. She pulled out the eight generations of Zhou Tao's ancestors and whipped their corpses.

The young man looked at the energetic old lady Gu, and said to Lin Zhen in a low voice, "Actually, Zhou Tao's family quietly left the village last night. I saw it with my own eyes."

The young man's house is next to the entrance of the village. He got up to pee at night last night. As soon as he went out, he saw Zhou Tao, Ma Shi, and three children in the family hurried out of the village.

If it was before, he would definitely ask Zhou Tao where he was going and if something happened.

But since Zhou Tao's family has money and has done so many unpopular things in the village, the young man has become indifferent.

Lin Zhen frowned slightly: "Brother, do you know where they went?"

The young man shrugged: "I don't know, but his house has just started, so he should be back soon."

Next, Lin Zhen learned from the young man that since the end of the twelfth lunar month last year, Zhou Tao's family has been enjoying a lot of food and drink. Not only did they eat meat for three or two days, Ma Shi also learned the town's style of pie, smearing with paint. Wear gold and silver.

Naturally, people in the village couldn't help asking them where they made their fortunes. Mrs. Ma immediately spread the word in the village, saying that her natal family had a distant relative who had a lot of money, but didn't even have a son and a half daughter. .

The two of them went to arrange the funeral for that relative, and the other party's family property was naturally inherited by them.

As for the extra Gu Shuanzi, he actually said that he was the son of his dead sister, and he came to live with them after his death.

Most of the people in the village are simple and honest. Seeing that Zhou Tao and Mrs. Ma treated Gu Shuanzi who was here to stay very well, they ran to the town's medical center when they had a slight headache, and cared about his food and drinks. Ma Shi gave a thumbs up and praised them for their affection, righteousness and kindness.

But gradually, people in the village discovered that Zhou Tao's family had changed.

Mrs. Ma either showed off the bracelet on his hand around this little daughter-in-law all day long, or put on a posture of looking at people with his nostrils.

The eleven or twelve-year-old boy in her family was even more incompetent, and went so far as to provoke the girls and brothers in the village, forcing the girls of the village family to fall into the water and die.

However, Mrs. Ma still puts on airs all day long and goes to the door of the girl's house to gossip, saying that the girl has a crush on her boy, and she has the nose to talk about how the girl seduced her son.

The mother of the girl's natal family was already weak, and she was so angry that she couldn't breathe and let go, leaving behind a four-month-old child, a six-year-old girl and her husband.

But even so, Mrs. Ma was still relentless, saying that the girl deserved it wherever she went, and that the girl's mother was not a good thing, otherwise she wouldn't have died of embarrassment because of what she said.

Zhou Tao and Ma Shi's youngest son and eldest daughter have also learned Ma Shi's way of doing ten to ten, and there is no one in Tianwan Village who does not hate their family.

Lin Zhen listened coldly.

He really didn't expect that money could change the couple so completely. Obviously, when Gu Da died, the couple were still thinking of Gu Shuanzi wholeheartedly, and they pushed and pushed the four taels of maintenance money that year.

It's only been more than half a year, and it's completely changed.

He looked at the closed door of the blue-brick house, his lips pursed into a straight line.

"Will Zhou Tao and the others go to a relative's house? Do you know where his relative's house is?"

The young man waved his hand, pointed at the old lady Gu who was furiously scolding, "The family has searched for it a long time ago, but there is no trace of it. I advise you to let go of this idea."

He looked at Lin Zhen quite curiously: "I heard your tone is very anxious, what can I do with Zhou Tao?"

"He owes money." Lin Zhen took out the worn copper money from his purse and handed it to the young man. "Brother, this is one hundred coins. It's my reward for you."

"As soon as his family comes back, you can go to Lin Zhen's house in Liyu Village and report to me, and I will give you a hundred coins when the time comes."

The young man stared wide-eyed, one hundred pennies, even if he did ten days of labor, he might not be able to get so much!

He hastily took the copper coins into his hands, and nodded repeatedly: "Definitely, I will definitely keep an eye on you!"

There was no one to be found, Lin Zhen didn't waste time here, turned around without looking at the Gu family, and went back to Liyu Village just as it was getting dark.

Aunt Lin, who was taking things into the house, saw him come back, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the basket for him. When he saw the intact things inside, he asked him, "Why did you bring the things back again, Shuanzi, his uncle and aunt?" You are not allowed to see the child?"

Father Lin is soft-hearted, although Gu Shuanzi was not born to Lin Zhen, but he treated Lin Zhen as his grandson when he called Lin Zhen Father.

Lin Zhen told what he saw and heard when he went to Tianwan Village today, and Father Lin, who was already worried, was even more anxious: "Just like what you said, Shuanzi's uncle and aunt may regard Shuanzi as a money depositor. It’s a good place, how can this be good.”

Lin Zhen held him back: "Don't worry, Father, Zhou Tao and Mrs. Ma will treat the child badly, but they probably won't kill him. After all, I wrote it down when I saved the silver, and the more than 400 taels of silver will not be given to me." He withdraws it at a time, and he can only withdraw a maximum of ten taels a year, and he must have Gu Shuanzi, bank notes, and household registration certificates in order to withdraw, and they will keep the Shuanzi for the sake of silver."

It's Gu Shuanzi's temper...

I must have suffered.

Lin Zhenchuan felt guilty for the first time in so long.

He thought, if he had insisted a bit back then, or avoided the person who plotted against the original body, causing Gu Shuanzi's trust to drop to freezing point, would the child be fine now.

In the following days, the person Lin Zhen was looking for in Tianwan Village never brought any news. He ran there once, but he didn't bring back any useful news.

Mrs. Gu's family, who went to beg for houses and money every day, seemed to have given up and hadn't gone for several days.

Lin Zhen could only tell the young man to keep watching, commuting between Liyu Village and the town, trying to earn enough money to buy a shop in the town as soon as possible.

In a blink of an eye, Qiu received it.

Everyone in Liyu Village didn't go to their own fields that day. They all surrounded the Lin family's field, looking at the tassels that almost broke the sorghum stalks, and kept saying, "What a good sorghum, I've never seen such a good sorghum." sorghum."

"Look at this fringe, at least hundreds or even thousands of them have grown. This kind of seed is really good!"

"Where are the seeds? The fertilizer piled by the Lin family played a big role. My family will also pile up this year, and all the fields will be piled up!"

Father Lin stood in the field, looking at the mature sorghum growing gratifyingly, full of strength.

He bent down to cut a handful, and the heavy tassels were pressed to the other end in an instant, and he had to use all the strength of his wrist to hold it.

"Okay, good crops!" Father Lin's eyes were shining brightly, and he quickly cut the second and third.

The people standing on the edge of the field watching the excitement suddenly felt blessed, and they all jumped down and said, "Uncle Lin, let me cut it for you."

"Uncle, I'll cut your house first. You have a lot of houses, so don't get caught in the rain."

"Uncle, the food in your family is good, and you can cut it with strength."

Almost all the labor force of a village is here. The field that was supposed to be cut all morning was finished in a short while, bundled into bundles and placed on the road, piled high and wide.

Just by looking at it, one can tell that the Lin family has definitely had a bumper harvest this year.

These strong laborers came to Lin's father one by one, taking the work as a credit. In just one day, the crops of the Lin family's more than ten acres of land were harvested and returned home.

Adie Lin took Eldest Brother Lin and Second Brother Lin and others to spread the sorghum and buckwheat on the ground in the yard for threshing, and put them into sacks.

Lin Xiaoyao stood in the yard, counting the sacks in the corner and the ones already piled into the house, "Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen... 23, 24, 25, 26..."

The people from the village who surrounded Father Lin walked in stared at the sacks and asked, "How many sacks have you packed? It must not be less than twenty sacks."

"I think there are about 25 bags."

"Where there are twenty bags, no matter how good it is, it is only a dozen acres of land, and sorghum stalks and buckwheat stalks are big."

Father Lin simply called Xiaoyao who was counting: "Yaoer, tell your uncles how many there are."

Father Lin's hands on his knees were slightly clenched. He knew that his family had a bumper harvest this year, but he didn't know how many were like the old brothers behind him.

In previous years, these fields could produce 27 or [-] bags of grain, which was considered good. He reckoned that it would be good to have about [-] bags this year.

Lin Xiaoyao put four fingers deep inside: "Father, there are 49 bags! Our family can open their stomachs to eat this year!"

"How many?!"

"How much is 40!"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

The black and gray people ran to the place where the sacks were piled up, and counted one by one, and finally counted 49 pockets, and each pocket was bulging, without leaving a single gap.

The big guy's eyes are burning, looking at Father Lin is almost like looking at the golden lump!

This is food, this is life-saving food!
