Chapter 11 "Confidence"

Second Brother Lin gave her a cold look, his sharp eyes scanning his two nephews, "Big nephew, second nephew, are you two okay?"

When Erzai saw his uncle, his face was filled with excitement. "Uncle, why are you here?"

Lin Shisheng rubbed the second child's head, his hands full of his nephew's sweat, "I heard that your mother kowtowed, your grandmother and I came to take a look."

"My grandma is here, second uncle, I'm going back to see her." Erzai said happily.

After saying that, he grabbed his brother's wrist and ran home.

The Lin family treats the four children of the Gu family very well, and the children like their grandmother's family very much.

Lin Shisheng was in no hurry to leave.

He looked at Gu Xing'er, who was being helped up by the eldest and second Gu sisters-in-law, and warned her coldly, "We are not without people in the Lin family. Think carefully before you provoke my sister. Do you know whether you can afford the consequences?"

"This is the first time, and I hope it's the last time. If it happens again, we brothers won't be as easy to talk to as we are now."

Gu Xing'er was hit and hurt a lot. She was also warned. She felt wronged and scared, and sat there crying.

Lin Shisheng had no sympathy for the woman and left with an expressionless face.

Not long after he left, Gu's father, Gu's mother, Gu's eldest brother, Gu's second brother and others came back.

Seeing Gu Xing'er wiping her tears and crying, he was very puzzled.

"What's going on?" asked Gu's mother.

Gu Xing'er lifted her trouser legs, revealing the marks on her body from being hit, and yelled, "What else can I do? It's all your fault. What kind of wife did you marry for my third brother? She bullies my sister-in-law every day. She bullies me... It's fine if she asked me to bring her firewood, but she even called her brother to bully me. She never stops bullying people."

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, look at my legs. They were hit by Lin Zhao's brother. I don't know if there will be scars. What if there are scars? The Lin family is a family of barbarians..."

Huang Xiulan and Zhao Liuniang were speechless and lowered their heads to hide the sneer in their eyes.

My sister-in-law is really good at talking. She didn't say a word about hitting the eldest and second sons with firewood.

For some reasons, the sister-in-law of the Gu family is reluctant to speak out, but the children of the Gu family do not have these concerns.

"Bad little aunt." Tiechui exposed Gu Xing'er's performance and complained to Gu's parents: "Grandpa, grandma, little aunt used that bundle of firewood to hit the eldest and second cubs!"

Gu's father and mother's expressions changed suddenly.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Xing'er was unfamiliar.

"Is this true?" Mother Gu's eyes scanned the other members of the family one by one, and finally fell on her eldest grandson Bangbang.

"Bang bang, you say."

Bangbang was older and more fluent in his expression, so he told the whole story in detail: "Tiechui was right. The youngest aunt hit the eldest and second aunt with firewood. The second uncle of the eldest and second aunt happened to come and kicked the firewood away, so that the firewood fell on the youngest aunt."

Gu Xing'er looked evasive, covered her eyes with her arms, and secretly looked at her mother's expression.

Mother Gu said nothing, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. Holding her breath, she said to the other members of the family, "Don't stand here. Go and do your own things."

Then he returned to his room with Gu's father.

Gu Xing'er was stunned and cried out, "Mom, what should I do? I'm still injured."

No one paid any attention to her.

Brother Gu Da Ge and Brother Gu Er did not dare to disobey their mother's words. With helplessness in their eyes, they were pulled back into the house by their wives.

Large room.

Gu Da Ge couldn't let it go. He peeked outside through the window and whispered to his wife, "What's going on? Why did Xing'er hit the eldest and second cubs?"

"Hmph." Huang Xiulan snorted coldly, found the clothes with holes and started to mend them, saying, "What else can I do? Because the third brother's allowance was not spent on her, she is jealous."

"Your sister is really speechless. She doesn't look like anyone in your family at all."

Brother Gu pretended not to hear the last word of disgust and turned around and asked, "How is it related to the third brother's allowance?"

Huang Xiulan threaded the needle and said slowly, "The third son's wife bought Warrior shoes for the eldest and second sons. When the younger sister-in-law saw it, she ridiculed the two children."

"You also know that the second child never suffers any loss. He's a talkative person. He said, 'Auntie, you're not jealous of my mother's money, are you?' Then the sister-in-law got angry, and once she got angry, she took action. If it weren't for the third son's wife's second brother coming..."

She didn't say anything else, those who understand will understand.

Brother Gu frowned, "Xing'er is becoming more and more unreasonable."

"It's all because of your family's spoiling her." Huang Xiulan was very dissatisfied with her sister-in-law who was as lazy as a pig, and her heart was full of complaints.

Lin Zhao was separated, and no matter how lazy she was, it was the third room's business. But it was not the same for Gu Xing'er. Her laziness sacrificed her and Liu Niang, and it was impossible for her, the eldest sister-in-law, not to be dissatisfied.

"You can't say that, Xing'er is still young..." Before Brother Gu could finish his words, he was interrupted by the half-smile on his wife's face.

"Sixteen is still young?" Huang Xiulan said sarcastically.

"When I was sixteen, I was already engaged. Why shouldn't I do anything about the household chores? Your daughter from the Gu family is precious. Even if she is precious...you can spoil her if you want. There's no reason for us, your daughter-in-law, to spoil her as well."

Seeing that his wife was very angry, Brother Gu had no time to care about his troublesome sister. He moved a small stool to sit over and touched her leg with his knee.

say good things.

"I didn't mean to spoil you. I just said that, why are you still angry?"

"Xing'er is not a child anymore, and she has indeed been spoiled by us. Aren't mom and dad trying to tweak her personality? Maybe it won't be long before... they can bend her back to normal."

"Oh." Huang Xiulan chuckled indifferently, then smiled and said, "That's just the shoes. If my sister-in-law knew that the third daughter-in-law also bought a special vanishing cream for the eldest son, she would definitely be even more jealous."

She knew that her sister-in-law's box of vanishing cream was almost used up and she was longing for a new box.

How could Gu Xing'er not make a fuss when Dazai and his friends got what she wanted easily?

Brother Gu had nothing to say.

What his wife said is not an exaggeration at all.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Huang Xiulan continued, "I'm telling you, A'lan, Tiedan and Tiechui are both grown up, and our family needs money a lot. You have to be aware of this. If your good sister tries to trick you, you are not allowed to be soft-hearted."

Brother Gu said innocently, "I don't have any money. You keep all our money. No one can cheat me."

Huang Xiulan thought so too.

Gu Xing'er's crying voice could be heard from time to time. Everyone in the Gu family knew her temper, so no one went out.

There were sounds of cursing outside.

She began to scold her brother, sister-in-law, and even Gu's father and mother, and her mouth was full of complaints.

Mother Gu was filled with rage. "Look at your good daughter! I've always said that your mother, with her mean and self-centered nature, couldn't raise a good child. Look at Xing'er, there's no changing her ways. She only knows how to compare herself to others. Today, she even hit her own nephew. Luckily, Cheng Huai wasn't at home. If he were, Xing'er would have been hung up and beaten."

Since it concerned his own mother, Father Gu couldn't comment and could only laugh it off.

"There's still a chance to break it off, there's still a chance to break it off."

"Bullshit!" Gu's mother cursed in a low voice, "She's already sixteen and should be getting married soon. With her temper, she'll be a tyrant in any family she marries. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. You'll have a lot of trouble in the future."

Thinking of her mother-in-law who spoiled Gu Xing'er, Gu's mother gasped in anger.

Father Gu was also worried. He sighed deeply and could not say anything.

Outside, Gu Xing'er cried for a while. Seeing that no one paid attention to her at home, she jumped up from the stool and ran out of the Gu family at the speed of light.

Go straight to grandparents.

The grandparents of the Gu family are both long-lived elderly people. They are still alive, but they live with their youngest son.

Gu's father was caught in the middle and was not favored, but fortunately the old couple did not treat their own son badly. The old lady took Gu Xing'er away because she looked like her mother, but Gu Xing'er was spoiled by the old ancestor and had a domineering and arrogant personality, and she couldn't get along with anyone.

"Milk." Gu Xing'er cried.

Old Mrs. Gu was old and her hearing wasn't as good as it used to be. She only heard Gu Xing'er after she called out to her several times.

"Is it Xing'er who's here?" the old lady asked, as she was about to get out of bed. "Why do I hear Xing'er crying? Who bullied my Xing'er?"

The hostess of the house, the old lady's daughter-in-law, rolled her eyes up to the wooden beam.

Pouting.

Bullying Gu Xing'er?
With that girl's domineering and powerful personality, who would dare to bully her?

Old Mrs. Gu had no idea what her daughter-in-law was thinking. She opened the bamboo curtain and went out. A figure rushed over and the old lady was almost hit.

Fortunately, her youngest son followed behind and reached out to support his mother. He was so frightened that his voice was stern: "Gu Xing'er, why are you so anxious? What if you bump into your grandma!"

Gu Xing'er's face turned pale, and her eyes were swollen like two eggs hanging in her eye sockets.

"I didn't know that my grandma was right at the door." She lowered her head and explained weakly.

Mrs. Gu patted her youngest son's arm and said, "Mom is fine. Xing'er didn't mean it. Don't bother with a junior."

After comforting her son, she looked at Gu Xing'er with cloudy eyes, "Why are you crying? Who bullied you? Tell me and I'll help you vent your anger."

Gu Xing'er's eyes were blurred with tears. "It was my third sister-in-law's second brother. He hit me."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu, who was originally furious, fell silent instantly.

They are from Chenghuai’s wife’s family.

Thinking of the terrifying rumors about Lin Zhaoniang, the she-devil, Grandma Gu pulled Gu Xing'er into the house with her hands, which were as rough as tree bark. She said, "Xing'er, you've come just in time. I saved some candy for you. Let's go to the milk room and eat some."

He never mentioned wanting to vent his anger on his granddaughter.

Aunt Gu's expression became even uglier. She looked at the backs of the old man and the child and took a deep breath.

Her grandson couldn’t even eat those candies, so why should she give them to Gu Xing’er?

A biased old woman.
-
The third branch of the Gu family.

Lin Zhao hugged her mother's waist tightly and dragged her away with all her strength, only then did her mother give up the idea of ​​going to the Gu family's old house to beat Gu Xing'er.

Lin's mother is the bully of the brigade next door. She is the kind of person who is invincible. She is very strong and most men cannot beat her. No one in the brigade dares to mess with her.

Her name is well-known in the Harvest Brigade.

"Why are you stopping me? Why are you stopping me? If Gu Xing'er dares to push you, I will smash her face. Let me go." Mother Lin was furious.

When she thought about what she learned from her old friend about her Zhao Zhao having a big bump on his forehead after being pushed, she really wanted to tear the culprit to pieces.

Lin's mother had killed bandits before and had a fierce temper. When she got angry, she would not recognize her relatives. Lin Zhao was afraid that she could not control her mother, so she called the twins.

"Third and fourth cubs, hurry up and help your mother hold your grandma back."

The twins, a boy and a girl, didn't understand what she said. They were at the age where they loved to imitate others, so they hugged their grandmother's legs just like their mother did.

Lin's mother was so angry that she almost laughed.

He was so angry that he reached out and poked Lin Zhao's forehead. Knowing that he was very strong, he used most of his strength when he fell.

"How could I, with my temper, give birth to such a weak daughter like you? It really makes me so angry."

Mother Lin picked up the twins, one on each side, and sat down angrily.

She had short hair and looked fierce. She was wearing a gray top and black pants. The shoulders of the top and the legs of the pants were patched, but they were washed very clean, and she looked very impetuous.

Lin Zhao smiled and sat down next to her mother.

"Mom, don't be angry yet, I haven't said a word yet."

"Then tell me, tell me now, I want to see what excuse you can come up with to stop me." Mother Lin deliberately put on a stern face.

Lin Zhao explained, "My mother-in-law paid me ten yuan on behalf of my sister-in-law. Gu Chenghuai no longer has to bear her tuition and living expenses, and Gu Xing'er can no longer come to my house. I've already made an agreement with my mother-in-law that if you go over there, it will just give Gu Xing'er an opportunity to get close to me, and I don't want that."

"It's fine now, really."

"The old mansion is in the wrong and weaker than me. They agree to whatever I ask for. I don't have to deal with a difficult sister-in-law anymore. I'm so happy."

Mother Lin was most afraid that her only daughter would be wronged. After hearing her say this, the anger in her heart subsided a little.

Ten dollars in compensation is not a small amount. The most important thing is that my son-in-law no longer has to worry about the vicious girl's school fees. It's okay.

"Since you said so, I believe it. You are my daughter, and I have never let you suffer the slightest injustice. No one in the Gu family should think of making you angry."

"If you can't stay in the Harvest Brigade, just go home. We have a place for you and your four children to stay."

A warm feeling surged in Lin Zhao's heart.

From childhood to adulthood, her mother never let her suffer any injustice.

Even now, she still has a room in her mother's house.

This gave her the courage to fight against everything.

"I know it well."

Mother Lin's tense expression relaxed slightly, "I'm glad you understand."

"Your sister-in-law is such a troublemaker. I don't know how your mother-in-law taught her daughter." Thinking of her daughter's sister-in-law, she looked disgusted.

Lin Zhao never took her sister-in-law's troubles to heart. She smiled faintly and said, "She can still be willful at her parents' home. Later... there will always be someone to teach her."

"Let's not talk about her, Mom, how did you know I hit my head?"

Mother Lin said mysteriously, "Don't worry about this."

"Just remember to take good care of yourself and your four cubs from now on. If anything happens, have someone send me a message."

Lin Zhao was puzzled, but she could not imagine who could be her mother's spy.

"Know it."

Mother Lin said seriously, "Don't just say it, remember it in your heart."

"I told you that on the day you got married, but what about you?"

"You didn't even tell me about something as serious as a head injury. Do you know how worried I was when I heard the news? And your father, he wasn't in good health to begin with, and he almost fainted when he heard about your accident. It's all because of you, stupid girl, who didn't have a mouth!"

When talking about her husband, she couldn't help but glance at Bai Guinu.

Lin Zhao was anxious and worried, "Is my father okay?"

"It's an old illness. I need to lie down for a few days." said Lin's mother.

"I'll go back to see my dad tomorrow." Lin Zhao was worried.

"That's fine. Your father misses you too. If I hadn't stopped him from coming, he would have wanted to come and see you." Mother Lin put the third and fourth cubs on her lap and touched the little faces of the twins, a boy and a girl.

The two little balls smiled sweetly, and that smile could melt the heart of the Iron Lady.

"Third and fourth cubs have become thinner. Look at their small faces. They are not even half the size of your face when you were a child."

As a grandmother, I feel sorry for my grandchildren and can't help but say a few words to my daughter.
