Quick travel to save a miserable life
Chapter 450 A woman on the run 25
Of course Lin Hui refused without hesitation. She had no intention of getting married at all.
Even in modern times where words and deeds are free and highly open, she would not enter a second marriage. What's more, in ancient times when women had many constraints, she would not find shackles for herself.
If you have money, leisure, and children, why can't you live alone? Why bother finding a man to cause trouble for you?
Moreover, the person who asked someone to talk to him this time was a widower whose wife had just died. He already had two daughters before him, and this time the child was a girl, and his wife died in childbirth because of this.
He wanted to marry Lin Hui because he saw that she had just given birth to a son and felt that she had the ability to give birth to a son. Moreover, she was a widow with two children, so she would not dislike him for having three daughters, one of whom was still waiting to be fed.
Some men have this mysterious self-confidence. Even though they are poor and ugly, they can still be picky and judgmental about women, making them feel superior.
After being rejected, this person continued to speak ill of Lin Hui behind her back, saying that she was an unlucky woman, and whoever got in contact with her would be in bad luck!
Later, Lin Hui also heard about this, but she just smiled. This person could be regarded as telling part of the truth. The deaths of the three people were indeed related to her, and it was not nonsense!
After the full moon, Lin Hui did not go to work in the big kitchen, but picked up needlework again.
If you go to the big kitchen, you won't be able to take care of your younger son. If you do needlework, you can accompany your child and earn more, which is more cost-effective.
Lin Hui named her son Zhang Zhiyong, which not only echoed the names of his two cousins, but also showed her expectations for the child. It was also in line with her current status as a peasant woman. It couldn't be better.
She didn't make money doing embroidery before because she had always been with the Zhang family. Although she could embroider, her skills were mediocre. Lin Hui couldn't suddenly show off her extraordinary skills, so she hid her skills for the time being.
Now there are only her and two children here. As a widow, she can't just sit back and have nothing. She needs to have an income to maintain her current life of abundant food and clothing.
That's right, now that the Zhang family is no longer around, Lin Hui no longer deliberately maintains her original simple life. Although her clothes are still simple, she no longer feels uncomfortable with herself and her children when it comes to food.
Not to mention the big fish and meat every day, but the rice and noodles we eat are all new that year, and the vegetables are also fresh. She and Cui Ya eat two eggs every day, and eat meat every five or six days. Chicken, duck, and fish are rotated.
This kind of life, not to mention in the village, even in the city, can be regarded as a high-class life. That is to say, Aunt Liu was tight-lipped and did not say much outside, otherwise it would have caused discussion in the village.
However, as time went by, the food situation of Lin Hui's family was still known to some extent by others. After all, in the countryside, the neighbors were all related by relatives, so it was difficult to have any real secrets.
Moreover, even if she didn't say it, people knew that she had good food, the mothers all had rosy faces, the children were all chubby, and even Aunt Liu had gained a lot of weight.
Previously, Aunt Liu lived alone. Although she had no shortage of money and food, her life was boring. She had to deal with eating every day. Since Lin Hui, mother and son, came here, there were two children. Aunt Liu's Life has become a lot more vivid.
Seeing the two children of Lin Hui's family, Aunt Liu suddenly came up with the idea of adopting a child. She didn't plan to have a son. She only had one son in her life. Although he was gone now, she didn't want anyone else. Come and take his place again.
What she wanted was to adopt a grandson and keep her by her side, so that she would not be empty at the knees, but could also inherit her son's incense, so that her son's tribute would not be cut off in the coming years.
Now that she had this idea, Aunt Liu began to secretly search for a suitable candidate in the clan, preferably someone who was not too old and had no parents or relatives, so as not to raise him poorly in the future.
Because she has two children and little time, Lin Hui only does small-scale embroidery, some handkerchiefs, small kang screens, etc., and rarely does large-scale work.
However, because the embroidery method she used was traditional Suzhou embroidery, it was quite popular among the upper class in this era. The unit price of the embroidery was very high, so she earned a lot of money.
Others only know that she earns money by embroidering things, but they don't know the specific income. Only Aunt Liu, who once accompanied her to the embroidery workshop to work together, knows some basics, but she has a strict mouth and will not talk nonsense.
Moreover, Aunt Liu has always pitied Lin Hui for being a widow like herself and having a hard time raising children. Even if someone asked, she would take the initiative to cover up for Lin Hui, lest people find out about her high income and spread the word, which would ruin her idea.
In this way, Lin Hui and her two children lived in the village from early spring to late autumn. Xiao Zhiyong could already sit on the bed and play, but still had no intention of returning home.
There was no urging letter from her hometown in Feng County. When she gave birth to Zhiyong, she wrote to Zhang Dazhu and the village chief. What she sent to Zhang Dazhu was just to inform him that after Zhang Erzhu was born, she would write to the village chief. The letter was for him to create a genealogy for his children.
As for Zhang Dazhu, besides asking someone to write it for her at first, she replied with a letter, asking her to take the child back to her hometown when the child was older. Since then, she has not sent a single word to her.
Lin Hui guessed that his original reply was just out of favor. In fact, he probably wished that his mother and son would never go back again, so that he would be the only one left in the Zhang family.
Then let him do as he wishes!
Lin Hui feels that she is much better here than in her hometown. Except for the occasional harassment by some unknown bees and butterflies, and the rumors that spread from time to time, in fact, these have no lethality to her. When you don't care about rumors, they don't even matter!
However, the peaceful life of Lin Hui, mother and son was suddenly broken!
That day, someone in the village suddenly inquired about Lin Hui and her son, saying that they were looking for a woman who had fled from Feng County last year with her two children.
When the villagers heard this, they realized that this was the Lin family who lived in Aunt Liu's house. She was the only one in the village who met this condition. She had lived here for so long, and this was the first time someone came to see her. I wonder if it was... A member of her husband's family.
Everyone is inevitably curious about this.
Therefore, when Lin Hui saw the person who was looking for her, there were several good people gathered behind her, wanting to come over to get first-hand information and find out what was going on.
The man was a young man, his clothes were shabby, and his appearance was in a mess. But when Lin Hui saw him, she felt her heart heat up, and then tears poured out of her eyes uncontrollably!
