Because Liu Jinyuan was unwilling to go to his sister's house, Liu Jinbao went to Liu Jinfeng's house in the end.
Originally, Liu Jinbao was very dissatisfied with his mother's desire for Liu Jinfeng to come back, but no one knows what Xiao Liu Shi said to him. Anyway, he went to Liu Jinfeng's house alone in the end.
Liu Jinfeng married the Lin family in Qingshui Bay. The Lin family had five sons, and her husband was the third child in the family.
The Lin family's family conditions were not very good. Although there were five sons, there were not many fields in the family. If they encounter an era when God is unwilling to give face, they will definitely starve. Fortunately, the weather has been good in the past few years, and they can barely fill their stomachs after removing the field tax.
Fortunately, the five sons are not lazy people. When they have nothing to do, they go out to find work. The wages they bring back, Lin Wang Shi is reluctant to spend a copper coin and hides them all for the sons to marry in the future.
Looking at the five sons, Lin Wang Shi was also very troubled. When they were born, she was quite proud, but now when it comes to marrying daughters-in-law, she is so troubled. Five sons have to marry five daughters-in-law. The betrothal gifts alone are also a considerable expense. With the poor family background of the Lin family, how can they marry just by saying so?
It was not easy to marry the first two sons, but when it came to the third son, it was a bit stretched. But the son has grown up, and she can't not marry him a wife! If she can't afford a good one, then pick one from those ugly ones. It doesn't matter if they have bad character and bad temper, as long as they can give birth to children. After marrying them back, she can just train them. With Lin Wang Shi's ability, she is not afraid that she can't train a person well.
So Lin Wang Shi asked around and found out about the Liu family in Linshan Village. Originally, the Liu Shi family's family was better than her Lin family, and it was impossible for them to marry their daughters to her family. But Liu Jinfeng was so upset by Niu Da that the better families around were unwilling to marry her.
Liu Jinfeng was not willing to marry someone who was not good-looking. She would rather choose someone who is far away! Families with some conditions would also go out to inquire about the character of the other girl, and in the end, nothing happened. In the end, Lin San was chosen because of his appearance. Not to mention that Lin San was the best-looking one among the brothers, and he was also the tallest one. The only shortcoming was that he was not talkative and a little dull.
Lin Wang Shi was attracted by the conditions of the Liu Shi family, and although Liu Jinfeng had a bad temper, she looked good. After all, she had wanted to marry an ugly girl for her son.
When giving the betrothal gifts, the two families had a little conflict. Old Liu Shi wanted five taels of silver, but the Lin family was only willing to give one tael; the difference was a bit big. But neither family wanted to give up the other party. In the end, Old Liu Shi had to marry her daughter to the Lin family. After all, her daughter was a little old, and if she continued to be picky, she would be delayed in her hands.
To prevent her daughter from having a hard life after marriage, Liu Shi took great pains and gave all her hidden private money to Liu Jinfeng as a treasure.
In front of the two daughters-in-law, she gave her the betrothal gift of one or two taels of silver, saying that it was given by her in-laws. After saying this, she looked at the two daughters-in-law. When she married her daughters-in-law, the two daughters-in-law didn't bring any of the betrothal money.
Especially the youngest daughter-in-law, because she was her niece, she added a little, but who knew that she didn't bring back even one or two taels of silver? She even had a problem with her brother and sister-in-law because they had agreed to bring back money for their niece, but in the end, nothing was brought back.
After Liu Jinfeng got married, she lived a life of arrogance and pride, relying on the money she had saved. During that time, Lin Wang Shi praised her as highly as she could. Unfortunately, her money was not inexhaustible. When she ran out of money, her good days were over.
When her mother-in-law saw that she couldn't squeeze any money out of her, she started to yell at her to work. But Liu Jinfeng had never worked in the fields since she was a child, so you can imagine how hard her life was. Her originally white and tender hands became irritable in a short time, and her face began to turn dark. Because she didn't have a good relationship with her two sisters-in-law when she first got married, the two sisters-in-law ignored her. When they saw her mother-in-law punishing her, it was good enough that they didn't instigate behind her back.
As for her man, he was originally very dissatisfied with her temperament, thinking that she was too hypocritical. There is no woman who can't work in the fields. She is not a rich lady. So after seeing his mother let Liu Jinfeng work in the fields, he also agreed with his mother's decision.
Liu Jinbao looked at his sister, holding the child in front of him, and frowned, "Why don't you tidy yourself up? Look at you."
The clothes were wrinkled and there were oil stains on them. He doesn't know if they were newly put on or if they were not washed before. Her hair was not combed neatly. Her face looked darker than the last time she went home. However, she was thinner than last time. She seemed to be a little fatter, especially in the belly.
Liu Jinfeng didn't care. She was used to it now. She had to take care of two children and work in the fields. Even if she didn't work in the fields, she still had to do the housework. She was so tired that she didn't have the energy to take care of herself. Anyway, she had already given birth to two children. Now she was pregnant again. She was not afraid that Lin San would not want her.
"Second brother, why didn't you bring me something when you came?" Liu Jinfeng said with some dissatisfaction when she saw Liu Jinbao's empty hands.
After listening to Liu Jinfeng's words, Lin Wang Shi couldn't help but nod in her heart. She really did not make a mistake in marrying this daughter-in-law. She cared about the family. Unlike the other two, they always returned empty-handed from their parents' home.
"What am I bringing? Our mother asked you to come home." Liu Jinbao replied unhappily.
She only knows how to plunder from her mother's home, but she has never been filial to her parents.
"Why did our mother ask me to come home?" Liu Jinfeng asked in surprise. After all, her mother had never suddenly called her back after marrying for so many years.
"How should I know? Hurry up and pack up and come back with me." Liu Jinbao said impatiently.
"Jinfeng's second brother, are your parents in good health..." Lin Wang Shi suddenly asked.
"They are all fine." Liu Jinbao replied.
"Oh, that's good. Jinfeng, since your mother asked you to go home, then you can go back with your second brother, and take Tie Niu with you. Your mother hasn't seen Tie Niu for a long time." Lin Wang Shi said to Liu Jinfeng.
Liu Jinbao originally wanted to ask Liu Jinfeng not to bring the child, but when he thought about it, his mother didn't say not to bring the child back, so he didn't say it.
After getting her mother-in-law's consent, Liu Jinfeng packed up and took her youngest son back to her parents' home with Liu Jinbao. As for the eldest son, there was Lin San anyway, so there was someone to take care of him.
Fortunately, Liu Jinbao helped to hold the child along the way. Otherwise, it would be a bit too much for her to hold the child alone. She used to go home alone, except for the second day of the Chinese New Year when she went back with Lin San and took the child with her.
On the way, Liu Jinfeng once again asked her second brother why her mother called her back. Liu Jinbao still shook his head and said he didn't know.
Liu Jinfeng expressed some doubts, but she couldn't find out the reason. She could only know the reason when she met her mother after returning home.
Liu Jinbao did not lie to Liu Jinfeng. He really didn't know why his mother suddenly remembered to ask Liu Jinfeng to go home, and Xiao Liu Shi didn't tell him any reason. In fact, Xiao Liu Shi didn't know either. Everything would only be known after Liu Jinfeng returned home.
