Chapter 220 Knowing the truth and getting angry
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are my daughter. You can live in your parents' home as long as you want. How can you think like that at such a young age? Even if you get married, you are still my child.
If people in her family gossip about it, the worst that can happen is that your brother won't get married. I, your mother, don't want to become a relative of such a person. Anyway, your brother is so old now, it's okay for him to get married two years later.
There are plenty of good girls, and my son is not ugly, so are you afraid that he won’t be able to find a wife?
That's perfect. After you give birth to the baby, I can help you take care of it. You just take good care of the baby. Wouldn't it be perfect for your dad to not go to work and stay at home to take care of the baby?
Just stay at home peacefully. If anyone says anything bad about you, I will tell him to get out immediately. If he can't even sympathize with his own sister, why should I keep this bastard!
Who doesn't have problems? There are so many people in our family working and earning money, how can we support three little kids? If everyone saves a few, that's enough!
Isn't there food sent by your brothers and sisters? The eight or ten kilograms are also their thoughtful gifts. As long as our family is united, we can always get through the difficult times.
Let's go home and have dinner. I don't know what your dad did tonight."
After saying this, Mother Lin took Sister Lin's hand and walked upstairs.
Lin Chunmei has become sentimental since she became pregnant. In addition, she basically lived in her mother's house during the entire pregnancy, and she often saw strange looks from others.
There were also many middle-aged women who came to inquire about her, asking why she had been living in her parents' home for so long and not going back. Some even asked her directly if she was divorced.
She felt uncomfortable after hearing so many unpleasant words. In addition, there was not enough space at Lin Jianping's house after his marriage, and she had to stay at home and take up space... She felt bad about it.
She was also afraid that her family would despise her, and he was also afraid that Lin Jianping's wife would despise her. She was even more afraid that these people would despise her children and despise them for being a burden...
However, what Lin's mother said today gave Sister Lin a reassurance.
......
When Lin's mother took Lin's elder sister home, steaming food was already on the table. Lin Jianan was sitting on a small stool reciting ancient poems. It must be because Lin's father said that he couldn't eat if he couldn't recite it.
Lin's mother was not planning to tell Lin's father about the brother and sister who went to the countryside to send food back. First of all, she felt that there was no need to do so. Secondly, Lin's mother did not take the matter of sending food seriously.
In Lin's mother's mind, how much food could they send? At most, about ten or twenty kilograms.
But as time passed, the letter sent by Lin Jianhe was also received. When Lin's mother opened the letter and saw the contents inside, her eyes widened. This must be the handwriting of the fifth sister!
Was she seeing things? She wasn't lying, was she? Why would they send so much stuff back? They weren't planning to stay in the countryside tomorrow, were they? Was there some new policy? Could the educated youth who went to the countryside now be allowed to return to the city?
How could she not know about this kind of thing? She didn’t even see it written in the newspaper!
Lin's mother read the contents of the letter word by word. Meat? Winter clothes? Peanut oil?
Could two educated youth who went to the countryside come up with these things?
The more Mother Lin looked at him, the more anxious she became. She thought to herself, "That fourth son of hers is 80%—no! 100%—definitely doing business on the black market. That bastard!"
Fifth sister is so obedient and timid, she would definitely not do such a thing. It really makes me worry.
Thinking of this, Lin's mother quickly found paper and pen to prepare a reply, but felt that replying was too slow, so she put on her coat and prepared to send a telegram to Lin Jianhe and the others to ask what was going on.
But some things cannot be said so directly, otherwise the staff who helped send the telegram would also know about it, and it would be very troublesome to explain.
Mother Lin walked to the door of the post office, then turned back to write a letter...
Ever since Lin's mother found out what Lin Jianhe and his friend had sent back, she couldn't sleep well at night. She lit an oil lamp in the middle of the night to clean up the balcony. There must be a place to put so many things!
Not only did I clean the balcony, but I also cleaned the kitchen. I wiped every corner carefully and made sure there were no traces of mice in the house. Only then did I feel relieved.
In the following days, Lin's mother lived her life carefully, fearing that she would not be at home when food was suddenly delivered to her door. So she simply took two days off just to be at home to receive the food.
As a result, Lin's mother was so anxious that a big blister grew on the corner of her mouth, and her throat was so sore that she couldn't speak. The Lin family, young and old, thought that Lin's mother was anxious and angry because she was worried about Lin Jianping's marriage... No one knew that it was because of the two people who went to the countryside.
Just when Lin's mother suspected that so much food had been stolen, the two drivers finally delivered the food.
Unfortunately, it was just the time when the staff in the family compound were getting off work. Everyone saw that the cargo bed of the three-wheeled truck was piled up like a mountain, with bags of things being transported to the Lin family.
Many people didn’t rush home to cook, but just stood around watching, wondering what was in these sacks!
When Lin's mother saw this situation, she had no way to help carry the things and keep an eye on the things in the car to prevent them from being touched by others, so she could only call Lin's father down to help move the things.
However, both drivers repeatedly said that it was not necessary and that they would just help carry it up...
The two drivers still remembered what Lin Jianhe said, that there was a bag containing fragile items that needed to be handled with care, and they even made a mark on the bag.
"It's okay, my husband is at home, it's useless if we don't use him, and more people can make things go faster. You can stay for dinner later."
"Then I won't be polite to you, big sister!"
The older driver agreed. Father Lin had no idea what these things were, so he didn't ask. He just obediently followed him and helped him carry the things upstairs. But he felt that the things in the sack were too heavy.
"Cui Lan, what are all these things? How can there be so many? They look quite heavy!"
Finally, someone around couldn't help but ask.
"These were all sent back by my sons and daughters who went to the countryside. They're all worthless things. They said in the letter that they were local specialties or something. Don't look at them carefully. They're all worthless things. They're bulky and light, taking up space and can't fill your stomach."
Lin's mother said this without changing her expression, without blushing or beating her heart, and she was very confident.
By the way, she also took a sack from the car and picked it up with one hand. It was just as she said, taking up space and being light...
It just so happened that what Lin's mother took was the food. Later, Lin Yinyin saw that there was an empty sack left, so she found a few cotton coats and trousers and stuffed them in. It was not as heavy as the food, but it was not light either... It's just that Lin's mother was very strong.
