A good husband and fortune

Lin Shi was wearing clothes that didn't fit well and had been patched. He was also a smart man, and he didn't cry loudly, but pursed his lips tightly, tears streaming down his face.

He was young, and he was thin because of malnutrition. Now that he was crying like this, the onlookers were distressed. The youngest son of Li Zheng's family was the same age as Lin Shi, and he had already been sent to school. Last year, he passed the county examination and became a Tongsheng. This year, he is preparing for the entrance examination. If he passes the examination, he will be a scholar.

My son was in school, and Lin Shi was wearing unfit clothes and was still worrying about three meals a day. As a parent and an elder, no one felt uncomfortable seeing him. Li Zheng didn't say anything. It is already more dissatisfied.

Mrs. Lin never thought that Lin Zhi had this idea at all, and she immediately yelled at her when she realized it.

"You little bastard, you want my old life!" Mrs. Lin slapped her hands and lay on the ground crying, saying that Lin didn't know how to be filial, "What have I done? , I have such a grandson. I’m not even married yet, and I’m starting to bend my elbows out to grab things from my natal family’s house.”

Mrs. Zhang also came back to her senses, she glared at Lin Zhi and said angrily, "Impossible, don't make such an idea."

"Why is grandma and auntie doing this?" Lin Zhi didn't argue with them, but said with red eyes, "I didn't ask for anything more, I just wanted to go back to my own fertile land, why did I get so angry. "

Zhou Lianxiang was sitting on the chair at the door. Seeing that Lin Zhi spoke softly and softly, she feared that Lin Zhi would suffer, so she directly defended: "Zhang Xiuhua, this is impossible. According to the laws of the Great Rong Kingdom, everything in the family after the death of parents They are all left to the children, Lin Zhi and Xiao Shitou were still young in the past, but now this Lin Zhi is about to marry, so the fertile land belongs to Lin Zhi and his brothers, isn’t it right?”

"That's right, it's possible that you want to take it for yourself, it's too shameless." Aunt Li also came here today, she was afraid that Lin Zhi would suffer, so she put down her needlework and came back to work, and now she also started to help.

"Whoever said that I want to embezzle others, you don't want to spit blood on people." According to the laws of Darong Kingdom, embezzling other people's property is punishable by imprisonment, Zhang explained in a hurry.

"I think you are!" Aunt Li didn't give Zhang any face, "Don't think that everyone doesn't know what you are up to."

Over the years, everyone in the village has seen what Boss Lin's family knew about Lin, and many people started pointing at each other after one person opened his mouth.

Boss Lin has a bad temper, and when he sees this, he wants to beat Lin Zhi: "Well, you little bastard, when I asked why you took Lin away, it turned out to be this idea, and I will beat you to death today."

Said that Boss Lin was going to do something, but Li Zheng immediately stood up and yelled: "Lin Hecai, what are you going to do! Is there any law, you want to beat someone under my nose!"

At the end of the day, Boss Lin was still terrified, he didn't dare to do anything, he just pointed at Lin Zhi's nose and scolded: "I tell you, don't even think about it."

After finishing talking, Boss Lin said to Lizheng: "I can't give him good land and wasteland. A few days ago, Lin Zhi asked me for 20 taels of silver, and said that Shishi will follow him in the future, and he will not bother me anymore. , Lin Zhi said that he signed and signed the painting at the time, so if this is the case, then it will be settled."

After hearing this, Li Zheng turned around and asked Lin Zhi, "Is there such a thing?"

Lin Zhi was not in a hurry, bit his lips and nodded: "It is true. After I woke up that day, I agreed to celebrate Shen Yanchuan. I asked for the 20 taels of silver because at that time, I didn't know Shen Yanchuan Can he still live, in case something happens to him, and the laws of the Great Rong Kingdom are like that, my brother..."

Lin Zhi stopped talking, and tears flowed out after speaking.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Zhi finished speaking, Zhou Lianxiang became furious, because Zhou Lianxiang's second child was a brother, everyone has empathy, and women are more serious.

"Lin Hecai, hurry up and show your face, you are not afraid that Pingsheng and Xiuniang will come to you in the middle of the night, let alone ask you for 20 taels, if you want me to say that you should give Lin Zhi all the 60 taels, you are a selling brother Don't you feel bad about taking the money!"

Boss Lin has always been shameless, and Mrs. Lin is even more powerful. After hearing this, Mrs. Lin got up from the ground and stopped crying, but followed Zhou Lianxiang to break up.

"What a shame, I didn't give the two brothers what they ate and drank for so many years. Lin Zhidu has no one to ask for it. If we didn't find a good marriage for him, he wouldn't be able to get married in this life. It's my money."

"It's a good marriage, why don't you marry Lin Wanwan over?" Other people in the village who didn't like Lin's family answered.

"Fuck your mother." Mentioning that Lin Wanwan and Mrs. Zhang can't do it now, she yelled at the man: "We Wan'er will be officials' wives in the future, how can we marry a trash."

"Enough!" Li Zheng slapped the table and said angrily, "I didn't call you here today to listen to your quarrel. From now on, anyone who yells at me will go to the ancestral hall and kneel for three days."

When I heard that I was going to kneel in the ancestral hall, everyone quickly shut up.

Lin Zhi saw that he was quiet now, and he whispered again: "Lizheng, I have returned the 20 taels of silver that uncle asked for at that time, and I have already returned it to Grandpa Li. Shen Yanchuan is already awake now. , sold all the valuable things in the house, and now Shen Yanchuan still needs to continue to see the doctor, which is the time to use the money." Lin Zhi is not the kind of love brain, nor is it the kind of Holy Mother, who just thinks that people are good-looking and they will spend all their money on their brains. Give everything to others, and everything he does has a purpose.

As the saying goes, no business does not cheat, although Lin Zhi is not a businessman, he is not a simple little white rabbit either.

"Furthermore, five taels of silver is too much as a bride price for an ordinary family with a radius of hundreds of miles. Why is 60 taels unreasonable? Lin knows that he is not such a noble person, and he has nothing to dowry with him. It’s because we can’t bring down the atmosphere of the village, so as not to offend others, that’s why we made that decision.”

Lin knew that there was something to be said in these words, so Li Zheng felt a chill down his spine, didn't he?If it gets out, Linjiagou's reputation will be ruined. By then, it will be spread widely, and others will think that marrying a girl in Linjiacun is a sky-high betrothal gift. At that time, it will not be his responsibility.

When Lin Zhi said this, he didn't care what happened to others. Anyway, his image of being sensible and considerate has already been established, and that's enough.

The old lady Lin started howling again when she saw that Sapo couldn't do it. Lin Hecai and Zhang Xiuhua didn't want to disobey Lizheng and they were not so arrogant anymore.

She was beautiful and high-spirited, and as soon as she grabbed the handkerchief, she walked towards Lin Zhi and said softly, "Brother Lin Zhi, don't misunderstand me, and don't be angry with uncles, my parents are rough people, and they don't know what to say. , they didn’t mean that.”

"Brother Lin Zhi has always been weak and sick, and brother Shitou is young. Brother Shen is still sick in bed, and it will be very inconvenient in the future. This field is given to them, but they have no strength. What my parents want is to continue to support Lin. Let my younger brother take care of it, so that they will have rations to eat in the future."

As expected, Lin Wanwan had a lot of heart, and what she said was reasonable and reasonable, but no matter how she heard Lin Zhi, she felt that this shameless look was in the same line as Lin Hecai.

"Sister Wan'er is serious." Lin Zhicai would not let Lin Wanwan talk nonsense, who wouldn't be able to smell the tea in the tea, he lowered his eyebrows and said sadly, "Although I am a brother, I am not a softie. How can I beg for life all my life?" It's too spineless to have a meal with my uncle."

"Brother, that's too much to worry about. How can one family talk about two different things?"

"Now that I want to get married, I'm still a burden behind me. If I'm still a family, I'm afraid it will only become a burden. We don't have much ability to pay for Shen Yanchuan's follow-up medicine. If we ask uncle to open his mouth everywhere, Lin Zhi might as well just die." Said Seeing that Lin Zhi started to wipe away tears, Lin Shi also cried behind him.

"You..." Lin Wanwan had never seen her brother act like this, so she could only bear with it, she flung her handkerchief and retreated to Zhang Xiuhua's side.

Although what Lin Wanwan said sounds nice, it is also true. Li Zheng was also worried about these issues. He asked Lin Zhi: "What are you going to do? Do you want to return to your own field, or continue to plant it for your uncle's family and let him rent it for you?" .”

Lin Zhi is counting on Tiandi to make a fortune, of course he won't give Lin Hecai seed, he is not a fool.

"I want to grow it myself, and farmers still have to rely on themselves."

When Mrs. Lin heard that Lin knew that she was really planning to return to the farmland, she yelled, "You little bastard, if you want to go back to the farmland, you can completely separate the family and sever ties. You don't even want to get a dime of anything."

Lin Zhi was waiting for this sentence, he pretended to be heartbroken and looked at Mrs. Lin: "Grandma..."

"Don't call me grandma, I'm not your grandma." Mrs. Lin thought she was sure that Lin would not sever the relationship, her tone was very firm.

Boss Lin and Mrs. Zhang also started clamoring.

Lin Zhi looked at them like a clown and held back a smile. When the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore, Lin Zhi said: "In this case, then Lin Zhi can only be an unfilial person. I agree with grandma, I will leave everything that my parents left to grandma, as long as the shabby cottage in the ancestral house has a shelter and fertile land to make ends meet."

"Okay." Li Zheng was already very impatient with Boss Lin, and felt that this was simply deceiving him too much. Seeing that Lin Zhi finally got tough, Li Zheng also let out a breath of foul air and asked, "Then what do you want to do?" Is it notarized?"

"Yes." Of course Lin Zhi didn't forget his main purpose, "By virtue of the presence of the elders in the village today, I would like to invite Li Zheng and the elders to be a witness. Nothing to do with it, the 40 taels of betrothal gift and the house when my parents separated, I will honor my grandma for my dead parents."

"Lin Hecai, do you have any objections?" Lizheng asked Lin Hecai.

Both Lin Zhi and the rich man were dumbfounded. He didn't expect Zhi Zhi Lin to climb up the pole. They said the words, and Zhi Zhi Lin didn't make progress. He was speechless for a while and didn't know how to respond.

Lin Hecai had nothing to say that Zhang Xiuhua was different. She had regarded Lin Zhijia's fertile land as her own for so many years, and now it would be like killing her if she wanted to return it all. She protested against it.

"There is no door. It's not that easy. You two brothers have eaten and drank for so many years. We didn't give you anything. Now it's impossible to get the good land back without returning the old lady!"

"What did you give?" Aunt Li couldn't bear it anymore, she stood up and pointed at Zhang Xiuhua's nose and scolded, "I gave you clothes that your children don't need, and all you eat are potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn husks, and polished rice. However, Shitou is a little man as thin as a monkey. The wedding dress that Xiuniang gave Xiaozhi was stolen by that thief and used as a wedding dress for his own daughter. He is about to get married and asked me to help make the wedding dress. It’s a pleasure to say it.”

Aunt Li accuses Sang of scolding Huai An and calling Zhang Xiuhua a thief, but Zhang Xiuhua wants to quarrel but is interrupted by Li Zheng again.

What is the situation? Lizheng is not a fool. In the end, he wrote a notarization according to what Lin Zhi said, and both parties signed and pledged. The wheat has not yet been confiscated. return.

The matter was settled perfectly, Lin Zhixian left first, walking on the way home was windy, just happy to find an acquaintance in front of him, limping towards him with two simple crutches.
