After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 25 Let go of my third brother

Lin Chunniang's face turned red with anger, but she had to endure it.

Because she knew what Cai Hehua said was true. For the sake of her younger siblings, she couldn't be willful.

At this time, Lin Dayou came back.

Today he caught another big fish. Although it was not as big as last time, it weighed twenty or thirty kilograms. He couldn't catch it by himself, so he had to call it a day.

Unexpectedly, I heard Cai Hehua's harsh words just after I came back.

Lin Dayou paused and turned to the back of the house.

This place was originally an open space, surrounded by a bamboo fence by Sanfu, and the two sheep and a group of chickens were kept inside.

There was also a pond built with pebbles in one corner of the sheepfold. It was not big, but it was enough to raise the fish we caught.

After placing the boat and fish, he went forward.

"aunt."

Cai Hehua's face lit up with a smile when she saw him, which was completely different from the look on her face when she saw Lin Chunniang and Cui Niang.

"Daiyou is back? Hunting was hard, right? Are you injured?"

He stepped forward and took Lin Dayou's hand, wiped his face with the handkerchief he had just used to wipe his tears and blow his nose, and looked him up and down.

Lin Dayou was so staring at her that his scalp was numb, so he hurriedly broke away from her hand and stood next to Sister A.

"Hey, Dayou is so shy. I haven't seen you in a few years and you have grown so tall. You have become a young man. My aunt almost doesn't recognize you."

The more Cai Hehua looked at him, the more satisfied she became. If such a handsome young man became her son, it would be more honorable to take him out.

At his age, she would be able to help him arrange marriage arrangements after the adoption, and within two years she would have a fat grandson in her arms.

When she has a grandson, she will take him with her and raise her. Is she still afraid that the grandson won't kiss her?
Cai Hehua imagined the future days, and the smile on her face became more and more rippling.

Lin Dayou was made to feel uncomfortable by her laughter. The usually calm and honest young man showed his sharp edge for the first time.

"Auntie, Erxi, Sanfu, I, and I are no longer children. Just because of what you threatened my sister just now, even if you adopt us, we will still bear a grudge against you. You want a My dream of being a filial son may not come true.”

Cai Hehua's expression changed, "Da You, aunt was joking just now, don't take it seriously..."

Lin Dayou: "Whether it's true or false, I've heard it all. Auntie, you don't have to think about the adoption anymore. Neither Erxi nor Sanfu will agree to it.

"As for the money my family owes grandpa, although grandpa has passed away, my uncle is still here, so I don't need you to worry about it, auntie.

"We will repay that money next month. If my aunt has nothing else to do, I won't entertain you."

Lin Dayou made a "please" gesture, obviously chasing people away.

Cai Hehua's expression changed again and again, "Dayou, you misunderstood my aunt. Alas, that's all. I'll come back in a while. I came in a hurry today and didn't bring anything with me. Next time I'll bring the pastries that you brothers like to eat." Come."

As soon as he turned around, his fat face fell down.

The eldest son of the Lin family is really ignorant. What's wrong with being her son?

Isn't it better than him continuing to live a hard life in the Lin family?The Lu family is much richer than the Lin family.

With a roll of his eyes, Cai Hehua had another idea.

The older one is not allowed, but maybe the younger one is willing. Sanfu is still young. If he hears her saying that he can eat meat every meal when he comes to the Lu family, he will be eager to go home with her, right?

When the time comes, if he is willing to do so, what will happen if the rest of the Lin family objects?

No one from Sanfu was seen at Lin's house. Cai Hehua guessed that he probably went out to work, so she went to the roadside to wait.Sanfu and Yuniang returned home with a full load.

Sanfu carried a bundle of firewood on his back that was taller than the others, a basket of medicinal materials in his hand, and a bamboo stick in his other hand to clear the way ahead.

Now that spring has begun, everything is recovering, and the grass and trees are gradually becoming lush. It is inevitable that there will be snakes and insects in the grass. Beating them with a bamboo stick can scare them away in advance.

Yuniang, carrying a basket of wild vegetables on her back, jumped behind him, sometimes picking a small flower on the roadside, and sometimes playing with small stones.

Sanfu stopped to wait for her from time to time. Seeing the carefree smile on her face, he felt relieved.

When Cai Hehua appeared unexpectedly, Sanfu was startled, "Aunt?"

Cai Hehua looked at him carefully and vaguely recognized him: "It's Sanfu, right? Oops, I haven't seen him in three years. You look so good that I don't even recognize him anymore."

She had a warm smile on her face, but instead of feeling close to her, Sanfu became wary.

This aunt has always come to the Three Treasures Palace for everything. What does she want to do when she comes back?
"My sister is in trouble, my aunt is going to take my third brother away!"

Yu Niang ran back with the bamboo basket on her back, panting.

Lin Chunniang stood up suddenly, "She hasn't left yet? Dayou, let's go there quickly."

When they arrived at the place, they saw Cai Hehua pulling her third brother and saying something like, "As long as you become my son, you won't have to worry about food and drink in the future."

"Cai Hehua, what are you doing! Let go of my third brother!"

Lin Chunniang shouted so loudly that she stopped calling her aunt and rushed over to separate Cai Hehua and her third brother.

"Sanfu, are you okay?" He pulled his brother and looked him over.

Sanfu shook his head and rubbed his wrist silently.

Lin Chunniang looked at her brother's red wrists and was furious, "Cai Hehua, didn't we say we would pay back the money before? Why did you come to Sanfu? You want to take him back by force!"

Being called by his first name by a junior, Cai Hehua couldn't help but speak mercilessly.

"You said you should pay back the money, but who knows if it's true? You won't be able to get out even a tael of silver by then. I think you just want to keep delaying until the end to get rid of this debt. I don't know people like you. .”

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Chunniang and his siblings from head to toe, and the disdain on their faces could not be more obvious.

"Rather than delaying it until then, it's better to let Sanfu go back with me now and live a good life."

Lin Chunniang was so angry that she laughed: "Next month today, if we can't pay back the money by then, I will sell myself to get ten taels of silver. Is that okay?"

Lin Dayou: "Sister!"

Cai Hehua got what she said and smiled: "That's what you said."

Finally, he glanced at the brothers Lin Dayou and Sanfu, with evaluation in their eyes, as if they were choosing who to adopt in advance. Apparently they felt that the Lin family would never be able to pay back the money today next month.

"Sister, you are so impulsive. How could you say anything about selling yourself?" Lin Dayou said with disapproval on the way back.

Sanfu's eyes were filled with self-blame, and he even began to regret not leaving with Cai Hehua just now.

If he had left with his aunt, Ajie would not have been forced to say anything about selling herself.

"Sister, if the money is not paid by then, please let me go to my aunt's house."

Lin Chunniang slapped his head and said, "What are you thinking about? Our family has saved more than six taels of silver. Your eldest brother caught another big fish today, which can be sold for a lot of money. We will use it in the remaining month." Jin'er, don't worry about not earning ten taels of silver! Why do you need to sacrifice yourself?"

Lin Da nodded, "Sanfu, don't worry. I'll go to the mountains in the afternoon and set traps. Maybe I can catch some pheasants or something, and then I can make some money by selling them."
