Chapter 188: I'll Be Your Pawn

The Qiu family couldn't wait to take advantage, so they brought a few eggs and a basket of wild vegetables that day and came to the Harvest Brigade.

They were mentally excited on the way, but they didn't even enter the Lin family's door.

Guessing the Qiu family's intention, Song Song Xiwei certainly wouldn't let them see her granddaughters.

She stood at the door, her long, narrow, and sharp black eyes sweeping over the Qiu family one by one, her momentum oppressive.

"My second son and your daughter have already divorced, and they are no longer in a husband-wife relationship protected by law. Lin Lin Xuan and Lin Zheng are children of the Lin family. We have no reason to stop you from seeing them, but..."

She paused slightly, her gaze becoming even sharper.

"If you want to use them to calculate benefits, then you've thought too much!"

Old Lady Qiu was actually a few years older than Song Song Xiwei, but just looking at the surface, regardless of appearance or temperament, it felt like there was a difference of ten years.

She didn't like Song Song Xiwei, this in-law; she didn't like her before, and she didn't like her now, always feeling a head lower.

It was just that.

Old Lady Qiu didn't dare to be presumptuous again and apologized with a smile, "In-law..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was ruthlessly interrupted by Song Song Xiwei.

"You called me wrong."

Old Lady Qiu choked, her face darkened slightly, and she piled up smiles again, "Mother of Lin Shisheng, we agree with what you just said. We came today... just to see Sister Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng. It's been a while since we've seen them, and we don't know if the two children have grown taller, so we brought some eggs for the two children."

She shook the basket she was carrying.

Hearing this, Song Song Xiwei gave Dadan a look.

"Dadan, take it."

It was sent by the sisters' maternal family, why not take it. Reasonably speaking, the Qiu family had to pay child support.

Dadan took a few steps forward and took the basket. Finding that Old Lady Qiu was using force in her hand, seemingly reluctant to give it, he also increased his strength and successfully got it into his hand, entering the house.

Song Song Xiwei's expression was indifferent, "The things are accepted, they will all go into Sister Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng's stomachs. Our Lin family isn't greedy enough to take the children's things."

"The two children went to live at their aunt's place and aren't home. I'm afraid you won't see them today. If you want to see them, come back in half a month."

As the words fell, she entered the house and told Dadan to close the door.

Bang.

The big gate closed, and there was another click, the sound of the door bolt falling.

Qiu family: "..."

If you don't let us see them, then give back the eggs.

The family looked at each other.

Old Man Qiu felt his face burning, feeling ashamed, and turned to leave angrily.

"Hey!" Old Lady Qiu shouted at him, wanting to say let's think of another way, but saw the old man walking very fast.

Qiu Qiu Lian's younger brother looked at the closed gate of the Lin family, pulled down his face, and followed his father.

His wife didn't dare to make a sound, looked at Old Lady Qiu, afraid that her mother-in-law would vent her anger on her, and ran after her husband.

In just a few seconds, only Old Lady Qiu was left in place.

Her old face collapsed, the insidious plans in her brain instantly disappeared. With only her here, what kind of climate could she become? It wasn't enough for Song Song Meihua to beat her with one hand.

Stomping her feet in anger, Old Lady Qiu left angrily.

Noticing that the annoying people had left, Dadan opened the door. After confirming they had left, he didn't cover the door again and rushed to Lin Lin Heling and Song Song Xiwei in the courtyard: "Grandpa, Grandma, they're gone."

"Go do your work, don't worry about it," Song Song Xiwei said.

She was too lazy to comment on the Qiu family's character, and didn't want to deal with them either.

Lin Lin Heling's tone was light, carrying a calm and unhurried manner, "They should have heard about Little Er entering the transport team."

Song Song Xiwei also knew, "They're already divorced. No matter what achievements Little Er makes in the future, it has nothing to do with the Qiu family. They don't come to the door... I'll just pretend the Qiu family doesn't exist. If they dare to come and disturb Little Er's good life, they'll have to ask if my fist agrees."

Before, her son had that relationship with the Qiu family, and Lin Shisheng didn't say anything, so she couldn't manage much. Now that there was no in-law relationship, why would she tolerate that family again!?

Lin Lin Heling hadn't seen this side of his wife for a long time, looking over quite curiously.

His gentle eyes were full of tenderness.

Song Xiwei was always the way she was in the depths of his memory, bright, enthusiastic, like a rose growing in the wilderness, blooming the most brilliantly. He didn't see the wrinkles she had added over the years, only remembering her the first time he saw her, waving a black whip, heroic and spirited, rushing into his heart at a glance.

"Why do you need to do it yourself? Aren't the four sons in the family enough for you to order around?" Lin Lin Heling smiled, "If not, you can order me, you give the orders, and I'll be your pawn."

After his body gradually improved, he no longer had to lie in bed to recuperate every three days, full of energy, and his relationship with his wife was even better. Life is nothing more than this.

Hearing her husband's words, Song Song Xiwei glared at him and didn't pick up the topic.

"... In short, the Qiu family shouldn't think about entangling with Little Er."

Lin Lin Heling smiled, "Little Er isn't a fool, people won't fall into the same pit twice."

"If he wasn't a fool, he wouldn't have married such a daughter-in-law," Song Song Xiwei muttered.

The muttering wasn't small, and every word reached Lin Lin Heling's ears.

A flash of helplessness crossed his eyes, saying: "Time and fate. You say Little Er is unlucky, I admit it, but if you say he's a fool, I refuse to accept it."

"I won't argue with you," Song Song Xiwei said with a face full of smiles, "Anyway, in your heart, your sons and daughters are all smart people, not a single fool."

Lin Lin Heling's eyebrows were filled with a certain faint smile, "That's right, neither of us is a fool, how could the children we gave birth to be fools?"

"..."

The matter of the Qiu family coming to the door reached Lin Zhao's ears not long after.

Her spirit was lifted, and she sat up straight, "Came to make trouble?"

Dadan shook his head, "No, was driven back by my grandma."

"Hahaha, done beautifully." Lin Zhao's smile was bright, "The Qiu family is regretting it, right?"

Dadan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, sitting beside his aunt, eating peanuts happily, and said refreshingly: "Regret, how could they not regret!"

"What? Aunt, you ask why? What else could it be because they can't take advantage of my second uncle anymore. My second uncle is a worker now, and in the transport team."

"What kind of unit is the transport team? A good unit that people in the city squeeze their heads to get into, the future is bright."

"Originally such a good young man was the Qiu family's son-in-law, how much face it gave people. But my second uncle divorced the Qiu family's! Divorce means strangers, how could the Qiu family not regret it? Their intestines are almost turning green with regret."

Dadan's words were especially fragmented, speaking very fast, like a machine gun, without giving anyone a chance to react, spitting everything out all at once.

Lin Zhao was curious, "The Qiu family gave up so simply?!"

"Of course not." Dadan's face, tanned black by the sun, stiffened, and then he laughed again, "My grandma is amazing!"

"Aunt, you know, my grandma is very fierce when she pulls a face. The Qiu family was afraid of my grandma before, and after that person divorced my second uncle, they had even less confidence. My grandma finished talking to them and let me close the door. I looked through the door crack, the Qiu family didn't linger, and left directly."

"By the way, my grandma sent me here just to tell you about the Qiu family," Dadan said seriously, looking at Lin Zhao: "Aunt, my grandma said the Qiu family has a belly full of bad intentions, they have targeted Sister Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng, let you pay attention, don't let them be bullied by the Qiu family."

"Definitely," Lin Zhao said.

Sending Dadan specially to remind her, they underestimated her too much.

She raised her chin slightly, "They are safer here with me than at home. If the Qiu family dares to come to the door, I'll respect their family as heroes."

Dadan's eyes brightened slightly, "Aunt, what did you do?"

"Hm?" Lin Zhao looked over in surprise, "Your second uncle didn't say?"

"No, no, didn't say anything." Dadan moved his stool closer to his aunt, "Aunt, what did you do, tell me about it."

"Didn't do anything, just tore off the Qiu family's roof," Lin Zhao said casually.

"!"

Dadan's mouth opened wide, revealing a big "O", "Roof, roof torn off? How many people did you use to tear it off?"

Lin Zhao helped him close his mouth, "Two."

"... You and my second uncle?" Dadan was still shocked.

Can two people tear off the Qiu family's roof? So brave.

"Aunt, you and my second uncle are truly amazing," he said admiringly.

Lin Zhao: "The Qiu family being in the wrong is part of the reason, and also because I'm amazing. Their whole family combined couldn't beat me, so they had to honestly take the beating."

She didn't feel it was excessive to clean up the Qiu family at all.

Dadan's eyes were amazed.

Worthy of being his aunt, awesome, awesome.

After delivering the message, Dadan left with a bag full of his aunt's love. He was brought to the Harvest Brigade by a friend of Lin Shi Sheng, and brought back by this person.

Lin Lin Xuan and Lin Zheng knew that the Qiu family wanted to fawn over them, but the two sisters had no fluctuation in their expressions, comforted their aunt not to worry, they would just stay at home, wouldn't go anywhere, and wouldn't be fooled by the Qiu family.

The Qiu family didn't like them, and they weren't close to that side either.

Lin Zhao comforted the two girls a few words, and at the window of the children's room, knocked on the window frame.

"Xiang Yubao, Hengbao, I'm going to mail a letter tomorrow, have you two written your letters?"

"Done." Xiang Yubao pulled open the drawer, took out the neatly stacked letters, and handed them out from the open window, a shy smile appearing on his face, "Still don't know many characters, wrote them in pinyin."

"Writing in pinyin is also great, you are still young, you'll know how to write all the characters when you go to school," Lin Zhao said softly to comfort them.

Xiang Yubao nodded solemnly and seriously.

Hengbao also handed out his letter, "Mine is also done."

Lin Zhao stacked the two letters, "I'll mail them tomorrow."

"Mom, when will Daddy receive the letter?" Xiang Yubao's black, bright eyes were full of confusion.

Lin Zhao shook her head, "Hard to say."

Horses and carriages are slow, letters stay on the road for a long time, and ordinary letters take quite a while to arrive.

Xiang Yubao said listlessly: "Alright."

"Mom, has Daddy arrived at the troop?" Hengbao bit the end of his pencil and looked at Lin Zhao.

"Should have arrived," Lin Zhao calculated the time and felt it was about time.

"Oh." Hengbao asked as if casually, and didn't say anything else.

?

Gu Gu Chenghuai saw the familiar military region gate and let out a long breath in his heart.

"We're here," Lu Mu said happily. Having been on the train for several days, her whole body was sore, and after getting off the train, she walked a long, long way, and finally arrived!

The Lu family were unfamiliar faces, the people on guard didn't know them, and seeing Lu Mu constantly leaning forward, they issued a warning.

"Military region restricted area, irrelevant personnel stay away consciously."

The soldier's eyes were as sharp as knives.

Lu Mu was fixed in place.

After a while, she hurriedly slipped back and looked at Gu Gu Chenghuai, "Gu Chenghuai, look at this... tell that soldier, we aren't bad people, we are here to follow the army, my Lu Yizhou is still inside."

All the way, Lu Mu, who didn't understand anything, brought Gu Gu Chenghuai a lot of trouble. For the sake of Lu Lu Yizhou being a comrade-in-arms and from the same village, Gu Gu Chenghuai helped when he could, and coldly refused anything slightly over the line. The journey was barely smooth.

"Don't worry, no matter whose family member it is, you have to register when coming to the military region. You go register, I'll go find someone to pass the message to Deputy Battalion Commander Lu."

As the words fell, he walked toward the military region, saluted the comrade on guard at the door, said a few words, and left with long strides, disappearing in an instant.

Su Su Yuxian observed the surroundings, so unfamiliar, unfamiliar to the point of panic.

"Mom, he won't abandon us and run away himself, right?"

Lu Mu was also a bit panicked, but didn't show it on her face, coldly scolding: "What nonsense, Gu Third is a soldier after all, and we are fellow villagers. Cheating us brings him no benefit. If he doesn't want to ruin his reputation and affect his future, he won't abandon us."

Su Su Yuxian felt it was the same, smiled and flattered, "Still Mom is knowledgeable, even knowing this."

Lu Mu glanced at her, her expression half-smiling.

This daughter-in-law wasn't this sweet-mouthed back in the village. Ever since she promised to take her to follow the army, she had become obedient, and her words were pleasant, unlike before... the mother-in-law would say one sentence, and she could say ten, very annoying.

"Grandma, I'm hungry," Lu Lu Baozhen said, covering her empty stomach.

Lu Mu looked down at her, and as soon as she saw her face, she remembered the family's lost property, and irritability surged uncontrollably in her heart.

"Who isn't hungry? Wait until we settle down. There's not a bit of food left in the bundle, where do you want me to get food for you? Eat, eat, wanting to eat all day, you know the situation at home, can't you be more sensible!"

The exit was a scolding, and the tone was impatient.

Lu Lu Baozhen lowered her head, covering her stomach, her sallow face gradually losing its color.

She ate half a cornmeal bun yesterday noon, and hadn't even drunk a mouthful of water until now. So hungry, so hungry, there were stars flashing on her head.

Lu Lu Yizhou was stunned when he learned that his family had come.

... His family came?

Gu Gu Chenghuai raised his eyebrows, "You didn't know?"

Dark eyes fell on Lu Lu Yizhou's face, revealing admiration and envy.

"Auntie told the whole village that you filed a report to follow the army, and wanted to pick her up to enjoy blessings. Auntie, your wife, and your daughter are all here, and they are registering at the gate."

Lu Lu Yizhou's head swelled.

What report to follow the army? He was entangled by his mother at the time and said in a moment of confusion to let her come over for a few days to relax, not to follow the army. He hadn't even applied for a house yet.

He barely managed a smile, "... Thank you."

He thanked him politely and ran toward the military region gate.

Seeing his family from afar, he didn't feel surprised, but instead felt dark before his eyes.

Does he think the military region is the threshing floor in the village?

He walked over with a belly full of complaints.

"Mom, why are you here?"

While asking, he glanced at Su Su Yuxian with displeasure.

He couldn't blame his own mother, only blame Su Su Yuxian for not doing what a wife should do, not managing the rear well, and distracting him, a man fighting for his future.

Su Su Yuxian's smile froze on her face, and her eyes turned cold.

What does this dog man mean? They hadn't even consummated the marriage since they got married, and she hadn't gotten angry yet, but he was the first to show a cold face. It's a bad habit.

She stopped looking at Lu Lu Yizhou and began to look at the place where she would live in the future.

Lu Mu didn't notice the silent exchange between her son and daughter-in-law; she grabbed Lu Lu Yizhou's arm and cried: "Son, our family's money is all gone, the family hasn't eaten a decent meal in many days, and we still owe the brigade for grain. Why don't you know to send some money and coupons home? I have no other way, I can only come to find you..."

Lu Lu Yizhou: "..."

So regretful, why did he "forget" to send money and tickets.

No, this isn't the point, the point is...

"How did the money at home disappear?" ===== CHAPTER 189 =====
