Daming female local tyrant

When Jing Lan appeared in front of the Lin family, they were stunned for a moment, but it was Ah Shan who ran over to hold her hand and shouted excitedly, "Sister, you are back?"

I haven't seen him for three years, and Ah Shan has also grown a lot taller, but he is still not as tall as Jing Lan.

Jing Lan patted his head and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I'll come back to see you."

The one who followed was Xie, she looked at Jing Lan with a smile, her eyes were filled with tears, she looked Jing Lan up and down, then came up to hug her, choked up and said: "Alan...my Alan..."

Jinglan's grandmother, Gao Shi, also came over with Aguo, stood beside Jinglan and happily asked her if she came home to visit her family, and asked her how many days she stayed before returning to Shen's house.

Only Lin Gensheng didn't come over. He was standing at the door of the house, looking at the two people not far behind Jing Lan.

A young man, and an old woman with gray hair.

Obviously, they followed Jing Lan to the Lin family.

For some reason, Lin Gensheng felt familiar when he saw the gray-haired old woman, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.

He judged that Jing Lan must not simply come back to visit the family, but he didn't know whether her return this time would bring disaster or blessing to the family.

After Jing Lan called her grandmother, her mother, A Shan and A Guo, she turned around and called Lu Chengze and Mama Lin who were behind her to come over and go into the house together.

Gao Shi and Xie Shi naturally wanted to ask who they were.

Jing Lan then introduced the identities of Lu Chengze and Lin's mother to them, saying that they came with her on this trip and wanted to inquire about something from the Lin family.

She also introduced Gao Shi and Xie Shi, as well as Ah Shan and Ah Guo to Lu Chengze and Mama Lin.

Although they didn't know what the young master of the Lu family and the old woman came to inquire about, Gao and Xie warmly invited them into the house to sit down and drink some water before talking.

At the door of the house, Jing Lan saw Daddy Cheap, and saw that his face was cloudy and uncertain, and there was no expression of joy after seeing her, Jing Lan called him boldly: "Father."

Lin Gensheng said "Yes", and asked her the first sentence: "Did you come back with your master's permission?"

Jing Lan was stunned, and wanted to tell him that she was free, but then she didn't want to say it anymore, so she nodded and said yes vaguely.

Mrs. Xie saw her husband blocking the door to ask what Jing Lan said, the joyful atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff, so she hurried up and pushed him into the house, saying that her daughter was back, and there were guests, so she went in and sat down.

Jing Lan and the others sat down at the wooden table in the Lin family hall, Mrs. Xie went to fetch some bowls, and poured cold boiled water from the porcelain pot for Jing Lan and the others to drink.

Along the way, even though they were in a carriage, it was hot, and Jing Lan and the others were thirsty, so they picked up water to drink.

After drinking the water, before Jing Lan could speak, Lin Gensheng asked Jing Lan coldly what the young man and the old woman who came with him were here for.

It's okay if you don't mention this, but as soon as this is mentioned, Mother Lin will speak.

She looked at Lin Gensheng and asked, "Gensheng, don't you know me?"

Hearing her tone of voice, Lin Gensheng became even more puzzled, and asked who Mother Lin was.

Mother Lin said that when she was a child, she went to Shanyang Town with her father to play with him. Once, the two stole two pieces of tofu from the Lin family tofu workshop to exchange for sugar...

"Are you... sister A Tao?" Lin Gensheng finally remembered that when he was a child, his family was still in Shanyang Town. When his father was still there, he was five or six years old, and he was with Uncle Yuanfang's daughter named A Tao. Play.Once, the two indeed stole two pieces of tofu from the tofu workshop at home to exchange for sugar.In the end his father found out, A Tao was just scolded by his cousin, but he was beaten up by his father.

It turned out that his uncle's family worked as farm laborers in a village near Shanyang Town, helping rich families to farm for a living.

Later, when he was seven or eight years old, his uncle's family went to Jinling City to seek a living. In the following decades, he never saw his uncle's family, nor his distant cousin, A Tao, again.

All told, the two haven't seen each other for at least 30 years.

No wonder he always felt familiar when he saw Mother Lin just now, but after thinking about it, he didn't know where this feeling came from.

Recognizing that the gray-haired, obviously old woman in front of him turned out to be his cousin A Tao, whom he had not seen for 30 years, Lin Gensheng was a little excited, and he hurriedly introduced to his mother and wife who Mama Lin was.

Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Xie were also very happy to hear what Lin Gensheng said. Lin Gensheng asked Mrs. Xie to take out a piece of salted fish and bacon at home and steam them for lunch.

And asked Ashan, Aguo and others to call her aunt.

Mother Lin accepts Ah Shan and Ah Guo calling her aunt calmly, but she dares not call her aunt when Jing Lan calls her aunt, and tells Jing Lan not to call her aunt like that.

Seeing this, Lin Gensheng directly asked Lin's mother why Jinglan couldn't call her aunt.

Mother Lin took out a bag of candy from the small bundle she was carrying and gave it to Ah Shan and A Guo, telling them to take the candy out to play.

After the two children took the candy and ran out happily, she said to Lin Gensheng: "Fifteen or sixteen years ago, when you were still opening a tofu workshop in Shanyang Town, I put that basket at your door. The baby in the basket is Jing Lan, and I put half a piece of white jade in her swaddle, with the word Jing Lan engraved on the hairpin."

As soon as she said this, not only Lin Gensheng, but even Gao's eyes widened, and they looked at Mama Lin in astonishment. Lin Gensheng stammered, "It turns out... so it's sister..."

Mother Lin continued: "Although I had no relationship with you back then, the master I served had a servant girl whose hometown was in Shanyang Town. I often asked her about the Lin family's affairs. I knew that you had no children for several years after you got married. Coincidentally, the master I served had a child who couldn’t keep it in front of me, so I put the child in a basket and brought it to Shanyang Town and put it in front of your house... Over the years, thanks to you, my master’s The child has grown up safely, and it has grown so big..."

Lin Gensheng saw that Mama Lin said these things in front of Jing Lan, so he guessed that Jing Lan should have heard Mama Lin say these things before coming here, otherwise she would not have listened to Mama Lin's story about her life experience, with a flat face. No wave expression.

Although Jing Lan is not his biological daughter, after all these years of raising her, Lin Gensheng is still a bit reluctant to change her surname and recognize someone else as her father and mother.

Although most of this kind of reluctance is because I feel that I have lost money and raised children for others.

Thinking of this, Lin Gensheng couldn't help but get a little angry, and said, "Sister, can you tell me who are Jing Lan's biological parents? Why did you throw Jing Lan away fifteen or six years ago, and now you have to find her again Go. Didn't they make our hard work in vain?"

"Gensheng, Jinglan's surname is Lu. Her mother had to do that fifteen or sixteen years ago. You have worked hard, and the Lu family will compensate you." Speaking of which, she introduced to Lin Gensheng, "This young master is Jing Lan. Lan's younger brother, Cheng Ze, came here this time to express his thanks to you."

Lu Chengze stood up and bowed to Lin Gensheng, saying: "Over the years, you have worked so hard to bring up my elder sister. I, and the Lu family, are all very grateful. To express my gratitude, I ask you to accept some money from me."

After speaking, he opened the bundle he had put on the table, and took out twenty ingots and ten taels of silver from it and put it on the table.

"Here is 200 taels of silver, let's express my thanks." Lu Chengze said politely.

Seeing the 200 taels of snowflake silver on the table, Lin Gensheng's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he immediately changed his expression, looked at Lu Chengze with a smile and said, "This thank you gift shows the sincerity of the Lu family, so I'd rather be respectful than obedient." .”

When he was about to bring all the money to him, Mother Lin spoke, and she said, "Gensheng, please take the half of Jinglan's baby that was engraved with the word 'Jinglan' when you picked it up." Take out the jade pendant and show it to the young master."

"I asked the baby's mother to keep that jade pendant, and I'll ask her to take it out right away." Lin Gensheng said hastily. He thought that the young master from the Lu family would not recognize Jing Lan until he saw half of the jade pendant, so he was in a hurry. Go out of the house and go to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Xie was busy putting the cleaned salted fish and bacon on the steamer to steam. The two children, Ah Shan and A Guo, were playing outside the kitchen while eating candies.

Lin Gensheng walked in and told her to put aside the work for a while, and go and take out the half jade pendant that was in the bag when she picked up Jinglan.

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she became vigilant, and asked him what he was doing with the jade pendant, was it to pawn it, and said that the half of the jade pendant could not be pawned anyway, and that he would give the jade pendant to Jing Lan one day.

Lin Gensheng told her the truth, that is, Jing Lan's younger brother came to the door. It turned out that Jing Lan was put by his cousin at the door of his house. Jing Lan's surname is Lu, and she is the daughter of a wealthy family in Jinling.The Lu family gave 200 taels of silver as compensation. After seeing the jade pendant that could prove Jing Lan's identity, the 200 taels of silver belonged to the Lin family.With these 200 taels of silver, the Lin family will be prosperous. Not only can they build brick houses, but they also have money to buy fields and land. Even Ah Shan will have the money to marry a wife in the future.

He smiled and sighed, "I didn't expect Alan to bring us money this trip."

When Mrs. Xie heard his words, it was like a thunderbolt, and she was speechless for a long time.

Lin Gensheng became impatient, so he pushed her, urging her to stop dawdling, and go and take out the half piece of jade pendant to Mr. Lu's family. After he had seen it, the 200 taels of snowflake silver belonged to the Lin family.

Mrs. Xie came back to her senses, cried, choked up and said, "But Alan belongs to someone else's family... Even a kitten and puppy have been kept for so many years, and I can't bear it, let alone..."

Lin Gensheng persuaded her eagerly: "Our biological children are A-Shan and A-Guo, but not A-Lan. Could it be that you still want to keep her and let her marry that Ah Hu next door? If you really want her, you should accept her." She wept and happily persuaded her to go back to the Lu family. She returned to a rich family and became a rich lady. The person she will marry in the future will be much better than Ah Hu. In this way, it will be good for our family and good for her , don’t mess up this matter by crying and crying.”

After listening to his words, Mrs. Xie seemed to make sense after thinking about it.

All mothers in the world want their children to live well. If Jing Lan goes back to Lu's house and lives well, she has to let Jing Lan go no matter how reluctant she is.

So, Mrs. Xie wiped her tears with the apron tied around her waist, and said sadly: "...I'll go and show that half of the jade pendant to the young master of the Lu family."
