Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 156

After thinking briefly, Lin Yuan still decided to take a detour to the Lin Mansion later to talk to her mother about the situation, and leave the matter to her mother to see how to deal with it.

After talking with Lin Yu for a while, Lin Yuan could already feel that Lin Yu was not very sincere to her, nor could she be said to be resisting, she just received a guest in a very ordinary way.But this is normal after all, and most people are still unlikely to be so sincerely enthusiastic about a person who has little connection and little contact.

Lin Yu soon realized her lack of focus, and seeing Lin Yuan looking at her, she smiled apologetically and said, "Looking at my cousin, I remembered something about when I was fifteen or sixteen years old, so let's go for a while." It’s crazy, it’s making my cousin a joke.”

"It's a pity that I couldn't see my cousin's appearance at that time. I think she was very beautiful." Lin Yuan also smiled, and relieved Lin Yu's embarrassment.She paused for a moment, the nurse outside had already brought over the two children of Lin Yuan and Xu Ji, the older one was 12 years old and a beautiful girl, the younger one was also nine years old and was a handsome boy .

Ji Yun and Ji Nianxi walked in holding hands. When they saw Lin Yuan, they all had curious expressions on their faces.Ji Nianxi is 12 years old, this age is not too old, but it is not too young.She realized almost immediately that Lin Yuan was the little aunt in the capital that their mother had mentioned, and the little aunt who had been told by her grandmother many times to make the other party like her...

Showing a sweet smile to Lin Yuan, Ji Nianxi pulled Ji Yun up to Lin Concubine, greeted Lin Concubine, then looked at Lin Yuan and said with a smile, "Mother, this is my aunt. Auntie is so young, she looks so beautiful." Her voice was as sweet as her smile, and she couldn't hear any artificiality, but it was quite comfortable to listen to.

Seeing that her daughter and son were in a better mood, Lin Yu immediately patted her daughter Xu Nianxi's head and smiled, "Sister Xi, Brother Yun, say hello to Auntie."

Xu Nianxi and Xu Yun called Lin Yuan's aunt one after another, and Lin Yuan beckoned them to go over. She pulled Xu Nianxi to look at her, then turned her head and smiled and said to Lin Yu, "Sister Xi looks very nice. Cousin is the truth, as if carved out of a mold, she is really a beautiful little girl, and well-behaved." He took off a jasper-clear bracelet from his wrist, put it on Xu Nianxi's hand, and said, "Auntie finally saw you. This bracelet is not worth anything. Sister Xi can play with it."

While she was talking, she thought in her heart that she had reached this age...and she said that this kind of elder had said to her so politely many times...it was really uncomfortable.

Besides the bracelet, Lin Yuan took two other things from Bi Yi's hand and gave them to Xu Nianxi.After seeing Xu Nianxi, Lin Yuan praised Xu Yun again, and gave him a Chengni inkstone and a jasper pen holder, and then chatted with her cousin about Xu Nianxi and Xu Yun. stand up.

Mrs. Xu sent her maid to inquire about Lin Yu's situation. When she heard that Lin Yuan had given Xu Nianxi something and Xu Yun something, she immediately felt like she was making a fortune.She felt a little bit of excitement, and this little bit of excitement intensified after she repeatedly thought about these things and thought about what was in the gift boxes that she gave to her daughter-in-law earlier.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, the more excited Mrs. Xu wanted to find a place to confide, so she found her husband, Mrs. Xu.Mrs. Xu excitedly pulled Mr. Xu and talked about Lin Yuan’s generosity and how many good things she had sent. At the end, she sighed, "This rich family is different. With such a generous offer, there is not a single thing that comes out." It's not a good thing. If this happens a few more times, don't we mean to make a fortune?"

Mr. Xu was happy to be happy, after all, he was much calmer than Mrs. Xu.Listening to Mrs. Xu's words, he only smiled at the corner of his mouth, then stroked his black and white beard and said slowly, "What's the matter, it's just a little thing. Women are very short-sighted... I tell you..."

Even if she was said to be short-sighted, Mrs. Xu was not unhappy. She just pricked up her ears and listened to Mr. Xu's words. Thousands and hundreds of things will come into our pockets, even better things, we can also have them, you know?"

When Mrs. Xu heard such words, scenes of mountains of gold and silver piled up in front of her almost appeared in her mind.She almost didn't smile from ear to ear, and she couldn't believe it, she grabbed the corner of Mr. Xu's clothes and asked, "Really, Mr. Xu? Are there really such good things? Can there be so many good things?"

"That's natural." Mr. Xu glanced at Mrs. Xu disdainfully, and then asked, "You used to ask Brother Ji's daughter-in-law, the Tuolin family, to find a good future for Brother Ji, why don't you even know about this? After a pause, he said to Mrs. Xu again, his tone changed a bit, "Ji Ge'er is right, now we still have to rely on the Lin family, that is to say, we have to rely on Ji Ge's daughter-in-law for many things." , even if you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, hold back, don't worry too much with Brother Ji and his daughter-in-law."

"Anyway, you've endured it for so many years, why do you care about a few more days?"

Mrs. Xu couldn't help but get angry when she heard this, and she didn't want to just obey Mr. Xu's words, so she bit the bullet and said, "Isn't she playing tricks on me? It's agreed I lived in the Princess Mansion, but I ended up living in such a place, which made me happy for so long. If I didn’t go back to Fuyang, the fact that I and those people boasted that I wanted to live in the Princess Mansion would not be exposed. My old face is really To make her lose it."

"If you didn't talk about it like this, how could there be so many things? The son thought that you had suffered a big grievance and wanted to support you, and almost messed up things. Compared with your son's future, compared with our future good days Get up, what is your grievance?" Mr. Xu said to Mrs. Xu with a flick of his sleeve.

Mrs. Xu was still dissatisfied at the moment, but she kept silent and stopped talking.

Lin Yuan finally stayed at Xu's family for lunch, and then left for Lin's mansion, planning to tell her mother about her cousin's situation.Even if it was just such a simple conversation, after a brief understanding, Lin Yuan could still find out how well her cousin really wanted to say, and she didn't.The first is to look at the complexion of the cousin, and the second is to look at the attitude of the Xu family towards her.

Probably because I have seen how my aunts treat their daughter-in-law, I have seen how my mother treats my daughter-in-law, I have also seen how good friends get along with their husband’s family after they get married, and after all, I am also someone else’s daughter-in-law. She didn't see anything specific, but Lin Yuan could still feel that her cousin's mother-in-law wasn't very sincere to her.

That's fine, after all, she knows that it's not easy to meet a good mother-in-law.But at that time, she saw a large bruise on her cousin's wrist. Even though her cousin tried her best to cover it up, some of it was still exposed inadvertently.When she saw the bruise, she knew that someone must have grabbed it vigorously, and it was obvious that there were basically no other possibilities.

In fact, she felt that if she meddled her cousin's affairs like this, she would probably be nosy, but it was also hindering what her mother and sister-in-law had said.

It's a very simple truth, even if I don't like this cousin very much, even if I don't know her very well, there is no doubt that for a married cousin, the children are still young. , and the people in her husband's family don't care if she is doing well or not, since she has no other support in the capital, there is no doubt that no one else will care about how she is doing.

Lin Yuan also felt that it was best for her not to care, because her cousin might not appreciate it, and because she was an outsider after all, but if she really didn't do anything, it still felt bad.If it was someone else, she might not care.But not to mention that her cousin Lin Jing is kind to her, and her uncle loves her very much, even if it's just for these two points, she should say something about it.

Mrs. Lin knew that Lin Yuan was going to see her cousin today, so when Lin Yuan came over, Mrs. Lin guessed why.

Mrs. Lin has been feeling better recently, and her mood has naturally improved. When she heard Lin Yuan talking about Concubine Lin, she said to her, "It's not like every mother-in-law treats her daughter-in-law well. Don't say too much. , as long as you don't treat me harshly, I can live this life. I understand what you mean, but you can't rush this matter. I guess, you must have never asked my sister directly, have you?"

Lin Yuan smiled when she heard her mother's words, "Mother guessed wrong this time, I really just asked, and I guess it's annoying." She paused for a while, and then continued to talk to her mother , "At first I just thought it was like that, and I was also thinking about it, saying that there must be no major problem, but I saw bruises on my cousin's wrist."

While speaking, Lin Yuan slightly rolled up her sleeves and exposed her wrists to show Mrs. Lin, by the way, she gestured where there were bruises and how serious the bruises were. "Some places have faded, but some places are still very dark. I guess it's because of the focus. It can be vaguely distinguished that it was grabbed out by someone who is good at it."

"My cousin looks thinner than me." Lin Yuan paused, then couldn't help but smile at her mother, "I know I'm fat, mother is not allowed to speak of me." Mrs. Lin smiled disgusted Lin Yuan smiled, and then continued, "The place where the five fingers grabbed is about those dark places, and judging by the bruises, the palm of the person who grabbed the cousin should be big."

"Mother also knows that the mother-in-law treats the cousin like that, but if even the brother-in-law treats the cousin like this, it is really hard to say. I saw the bruise, so I simply asked the cousin. What's the matter. My cousin said that I accidentally touched it. I looked at it and saw that it was not the same thing. It just didn't reveal it, that is to say, I sent some ointment for my cousin to wipe it off."

Mrs. Lin heard Lin Yuan's words and said, "Mother, there is ointment here, you can ask someone to deliver it directly. You will see a lot of things when you go here. But you will see it when you see it. It's not the right time to really do something. If the Xu family really treats my sister so badly, I think my sister will not just swallow it like this. Besides, no matter what, for your brother-in-law, there is still a lot to rely on The place of the Lin family will definitely not offend my sister too much."

Lin Yuan was puzzled, "Since this is the case, why did you hurt your cousin?"

"Who knows, maybe it's because you have endured it for too long and then you can't hold it back? In fact, your uncle and your little cousin are both promising now. If the Xu family is really going too far, sister-in-law doesn't have to bear it. Just be afraid, she For the sake of the child, I will refuse to say anything. In this kind of thing, if the women are all biased towards the man, it is meaningless for outsiders to help. If you help her, she may even blame you and say you shouldn't."

Lin Yuan couldn't help wondering because of Mrs. Lin's words, "Since it's like this, why did mother tell me to pay more attention to my cousin? Hearing what mother said, I think my concern is useless , with and without, it looks the same.”

"Where will it be? Don't you know a lot of things now? Besides, you can't say that you and my sister will get along well. If there is something in the future, my sister will be willing to come to you?" Mrs. Lin smiled and rubbed Rubbing Lin Yuan's hair, he softened his tone and coaxed her a few words.

Lin Yuan suddenly became a little embarrassed, "That's really hard to say, maybe my cousin doesn't want me to look for her more at all..." She stopped talking, "Mother means to wait for the time being. See? When did you wait until the cousin said it herself?"

"Either you wait until my sister is willing to speak out by herself, or you wait until the people of the Xu family have really gone too far. In any case, it is my sister who lives. If she can bear it herself, it is not easy for others to interfere. But Your uncle and little cousin will definitely not just watch like this. You don’t care about your cousin, and it’s not good for mother to always ask about the junior, right? "

Lin Yuan left from Lin Concubine's place. Lin Concubine looked at the bruise on her wrist, and when she remembered what happened that day, an inexplicable feeling in her heart kept coming out again.

That is, something was wrong that day, and her mother-in-law didn't treat her very well after that, at least she wouldn't be so difficult. The father-in-law has always been ignorant of her, and there is nothing to say.As for Xu Ji... Xu Ji didn't treat her badly or well, but these few days, he spent two or three days at his aunt's place.

Lin Concubine thought, these days are muddled and dull, hasn't it been more than ten years?If it goes on like this, maybe it will be okay.She was in a daze when she heard that a little maid had brought some ointment from outside, and remembering Lin Yuan asking for those ointments to wipe off the bruises on her wrists, the inexplicable, not so good feeling in her heart The good taste intensified even more.

Let the little girl who delivered the ointment come in, the little girl put down her things and said that she was in a hurry to go back and return to her life, and then left.Lin Yu looked at the ointment for a while, and then remembered the gift boxes that Lin Yuan brought, so she asked the maid to bring the things over and prepare to have a look at them, so that they could be separated and put in the warehouse.

While Lin Yu was sitting on this matter, her mother-in-law Mrs. Xu came over.As soon as Mrs. Xu found out that her daughter-in-law was counting the gifts, she thought that there would be no such shop after passing this village, so she hurriedly led her mother-in-law and maidservants to Lin Yu's place.She felt elated when she saw the pile of good things on the table, her eyes couldn't help drifting there, but at the same time she tried her best to pretend that she was just here to have a look.

Just after putting the things in the brochure, Lin Yu stood up and said hello to her mother-in-law. Mrs. Xu asked her to sit down, and sat down herself.After looking at the pile of good things and seeing the booklet spread out on the table, Mrs. Xu asked, "Is this registered?"

Lin Yu didn't realize what her mother-in-law was thinking for a while, so she answered honestly, "Yes, mother, I just registered."

"That's good..." Mrs. Xu said, then picked up a box containing a century-old ginseng, handed it to the woman behind her, and said to Lin Yu, "Your father has been sick recently. Not very good, I just need some ginseng or something to nourish my body, since you have already registered, I will take it away." At the same time, he picked out a few other items and handed them to the woman behind her go up.

Seeing her mother-in-law's appearance, Lin Yu was dumbfounded.
