Tu Xinmei couldn't help frowning when she saw that Tu Lin gave half a tael of silver after such a short effort, but seeing that Tu Lin insisted on doing so, she didn't say anything in front of the children, and let Zhao Xiuxiu hold Zhuang Zhuang and take it with her. After the two younger sisters and Tu An went to play in the back room, they returned all the broken money collected from the children to Tu Lin.
"I know you love Xiuxiu and the others, but it's not like this. How can you give so much money all at once, and take it back quickly." Tu Xinmei said, and put the broken silver in Tu Lin's hand, and said: " It's not easy to save some money. You will have plenty of places to spend money in your life in the future, but you can't be so extravagant. If you have this money to make a new dress for Ruan Tang and buy some delicious food for Xiao An, what can you do? Listen to my sister and take it quickly. Sister, as long as you are doing well, I am happier than how much money you give to my sister."
Tu Xinmei said, her eyes were red again, and her voice was choked up. Looking at her, Tu Lin couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Although Yuanshen lost his mother since childhood, and has an unreliable biological father, stepmother, younger siblings are also worried, but fortunately, he still has a sister who is wholeheartedly for his sake, this life is not considered a loss.
Just thinking this way, Tu Lin still didn't take back the broken silver, but smiled and said to Tu Xinmei: "Since I gave it to the children, there is no reason to take it back, otherwise people will laugh at me as a fake and generous uncle." In fact , Tu
Lin also knew that he was a bit too generous, the four qian was almost a quarter of what he earned from selling charcoal today, but compared with the money that Tu Xinmei gave to Ruan Tang from time to time in the past few years, the four qian Silver is still far behind, so it's nothing.
Originally, Tu Lin wanted to return all the money that Tu Xinmei gave back, but firstly, he was not rich enough, and secondly, Tu Xinmei would definitely not accept it, and also felt that Tu Lin and her were too clear, and in his heart I didn't like it, so after discussing with Ruan Tang, I decided to give it out in the name of the children.
Seeing that Tu Xinmei wanted to persuade her again, Tu Lin continued without waiting for her to open her mouth: "Sister, don't worry, I still have the money here, it's enough to spend." Then he took out the purse containing the silver and opened it again. Let Tu Xinmei look at the broken silver and copper plates inside.
Tu Xinmei looked down subconsciously, and when she saw that there were seven or eight coins scattered in her purse, she couldn't help being very surprised, and blurted out, "Alin, where did you get so much money?"
Tu Xinmei thought it was a surprise that Tu Lin took out four pieces of silver all at once, but she only thought it was because Tu Lin recovered from his illness, Tu's father gave it to him, or Ruan Tang and the others caught prey and sold herbs and firewood together. After all, she knew that Ruan Tang would set traps and pick herbs, but she didn't expect there to be so many.
Tu Xinmei was different from the Tu family, so Tu Lin didn't intend to hide from her about buying charcoal. Dang even told Tu Xinmei the rhetoric of saving lives and being rewarded with Ruan Tang before, and then they talked with the county The Zhou family got connected, and they also talked about supplying charcoal to the Zhou family.
"...I have already signed a contract with the Zhou family, and I will sell all the silver frost charcoal burned to them in the future. This is the contract." Tu Lin was afraid that Tu Xinmei would not believe it, so he simply showed the contract to Tu Xinmei, and finally said : "So don't worry, I'm not short of money right now, you can keep the money with peace of mind. This is also my wish as an uncle." Tu Xinmei didn't expect that Tu Lin would be so quiet with her
. The big family in the county started a business, and they couldn't help being surprised and pleasantly surprised at the moment. Although she didn't understand the words on the deed, she read it again and again, and finally folded it carefully and returned it to Tu Lin, and asked him to put it away carefully. As for the gift that Tu Lin gave to the children, Tu Xinmei also saw that Tu Lin would never take it back, so she didn't force it anymore.
"By the way, sister, what happened to Zhao Xiaohu's child?" Seeing that the children were gone now, and there were no other outsiders around, Tu Lin asked Tu Xinmei directly.
He said before that he wanted to see his niece and nephew, although he really wanted to, but he also wanted to avoid Zhao's mother from asking Tu Xinmei.
Tu Xinmei thought she knew that Tu Lin would ask, so she didn't look surprised, but couldn't help but sighed, and said to Tu Lin with a wry smile: "It's all because I'm useless, and I can't have a son. You must have heard it, it's your brother-in-law. Uncle wants to adopt Xiaohu's child to your brother-in-law. They came here today to talk about it."
Tu Lin frowned when he heard this, and said, "What does brother-in-law mean?" The
three girls from Tu Xinmei's family A little Shuang, although Shuang'er can also marry a wife and have children, but it is difficult to have children, so in the countryside it is still far inferior to boys, and people at this time attach great importance to the inheritance of children, Tu Xinmei is a daughter-in-law, just embarrassing I want to see, but the matter of adoption still depends on Zhao Changping, the head of the family.
Tu Xinmei relaxed slightly, and said: "Your brother-in-law is naturally unwilling. It's not that he has no children, so how could he be willing to raise other people's children? It's just that his uncle doesn't give up. He comes to the house every few days to tell your brother-in-law Going to find her mother-in-law if there is no way, seems determined, and it is also very annoying. It's just that he is an elder, and we can't tear ourselves apart." But
Tu Lin asked again: "What about Aunt Zhao?" In this era, filial piety is Da Tian, although Zhao's father is no longer there, but Zhao's mother is still there, if Zhao's mother agrees to the adoption, then Zhao Changping's son can only obey, this is why Uncle Zhao went to Zhao's mother after Zhao Changping disagreed s reason.
Tu Xinmei said, "Mother, she always listens to your brother-in-law. Your brother-in-law is not willing to adopt, and she will not force your brother-in-law."
Hearing this, Tu Lin was finally relieved. After all, the Zhao family had already separated. , but Zhao Changping doesn't have to listen to him in everything. As long as Zhao Changping and Zhao's mother don't let go of this matter, Uncle Zhao's plan will not come true.
Tu Lin felt relieved, and a smile appeared on his face. Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside the house.
"Perhaps your brother-in-law is back." Tu Xinmei also heard it. She got up and walked to the door. Just as she opened the door curtain, Zhao Changping happened to walk to the door.
"Brother-in-law is back." Tu Lin said with a smile.
Zhao Changping's complexion was still a bit ugly, his brows were still a bit gloomy, although he could still laugh, but he looked very forced, and after entering the room, he said to Tu Lin uncomfortably: "Second brother, today is really annoying. Look at the joke."
"Brother-in-law just treats me as an outsider, and it's not a big deal, brother-in-law really doesn't have to worry about it." Tu Lin smiled and comforted him, but he could understand Zhao Changping, after all, he was said to be himself There is no one to provide for the elderly to send off children and grandchildren, but he is still his own nephew, who can't be beaten or scolded. One can imagine the depression and suffocation in his heart.
When Zhao Changping came back, Tu Lin and Tu Xinmei stopped talking about succession, and started talking about other things. While talking, they told about Tu Lin's current charcoal sale to Zhou's family in the county seat.
Zhao Changping couldn't help being very happy for Tu Lin, and said with a smile: "Second brother is recovering from illness now, and he has acquired the good ability to burn charcoal. It can be seen that God has eyes, and he obeyed the saying that good people are rewarded." Although making
money It wasn't about himself, but Zhao Changping didn't have any jealousy in his heart, and he had a good relationship with Tu Lin, an uncle, otherwise Tu Xinmei wouldn't be able to subsidize Ruan Tang and the others' money from time to time, so at this time, he was really happy for Tu Lin .
When Tu Xinmei heard what Zhao Changping said, she immediately looked proud, and said: "No, my family A Lin doesn't say anything else, but his heart is very good, otherwise he could let that old pious It's like a mother-in-law, oh shit—"
Halfway through speaking, Tu Xinmei suddenly thought of something, and asked Tu Lin anxiously: "A Lin, you won't tell Dad about this way of burning charcoal, will you? Oh, what are you doing? You are so stupid, you told your father about such a lucrative business, and in the end, it will not fall into the hands of that old lady Li. In the end, you are the one who found it, and you are the one who suffers, but you don't get a penny of the money, it's all cheap Li's children. Sigh, why are you so stupid, you didn't remember a word my sister told you, you—"
Although Tu Xinmei asked Tu Lin, but before Tu Lin answered, she remembered that Tu Lin had been respectful and filial to Tu's father and Li's children in the past, and how he had given Li's children whatever they wanted, and she already decided that Tu Lin must have given this After talking about the matter with Tu Fu, he was immediately annoyed and hated that iron could not be made into steel.
Obviously, she had told Tu Lin in the past that Mrs. Li would not sincerely treat Tu Lin as her son, so that Tu Lin should not treat her as if she were his own mother. The same is true for those half-brothers and sisters. Think about it, how long should you be careful, but although Tu Lin answered her with a smile every time, when he turned around and went back to Tu's house, he was still the same, which made her extremely annoyed and helpless.
Tu Lin, however, was dumbfounded by Tu Xinmei's swearing and beating his chest and feet. When he came back to his senses, he couldn't laugh or cry, and interrupted Tu Xinmei, who continued to slander, and said, "I didn't say anything, Dad, none of them knew about this It's something."
Tu Xinmei was taken aback, still a little bit in disbelief, and said, "Really?"
Tu Lin nodded vigorously, and said to Tu Xinmei seriously: "Really, otherwise, I wouldn't be the one who came to sell charcoal in the county today. , and..." After a pause, Tu Lin went on to say, "Aside from visiting my sister and you today, I have another thing to tell you." Tu Xinmei was
surprised and surprised that her younger brother came to his senses. Knowing to guard against the people of the Tu family, but hearing Tu Lin's last words, he couldn't help asking subconsciously: "What's the matter?
" I came out to pay the bill, and my father... also agreed, and the paperwork will be written in about two days, and the family will be officially separated." Tu Lin said.
