CHAPTER 23

Lin Chuxia had a slight smile on her face as Dazai approached her in small steps. At this second, she was stunned again because of what Dazai said.

Especially when she saw Dazai’s reddish eyes and choked voice, what did he say… Why did you come back so late ? I thought you were all gone…

For some reason, Lin Chuxia heard what Dazai said from these words. Due to his fear and the uneasiness of waiting for long, she bent down and directly picked up Dazai with one hand.

Holding Dazai in one hand, she headed towards the inside of the house.

The moment he was picked up in the air, Dazai’s heart trembled slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to push Lin Chuxia away as if he were frightened. Why, how could he be hugged like this?

Dazai, don’t move; mom is holding you with only one hand; you will easily fall.” Lin Chuxia’s seemingly soft but commanding tone made the Dazai, who was about to struggle, stop his movements immediately.

The moment he was held in Lin Chuxia’s arms, the sadness of grievance slowly filled his heart again.

Children are all like this. If someone coaxes them, a three-point grievance can turn into ten points. Not to mention children; sometimes adults are like this too, such as the Dazai at this time.

His eyes were already red, and he couldn’t help but shed tears. He grabbed Lin Chuxia’s shoulders tightly with his short hands, leaned against Lin Chuxia, and said in a choked tone, “Where have you been?”

He thought you all didn’t want Dazai anymore.

“Mom went to pick fruits. I saw you were still sleeping and couldn’t bear to wake up our lovely cub. Who knew you would wake up so early?” Lin Chuxia knew that Dazai had a bit of pride, but she still held the With a small vegetable basket, it’s really hard to spare my hands to comfort the big cub.

He could only put the fruits in the small vegetable basket at the door of the house, then hugged the big cub with both hands, weighed the five-year-old cub in his arms, which was of average weight, changed into a more comfortable position, and freed his hands again to help the big cub. Wiped away tears.

“Why are you crying? Don’t be afraid, Mom is here.” Lin Chuxia wiped her child’s tears with pity. Her arrogant eldest son also had times when he was flustered and frightened.

The gentle voice came softly, and the compassionate movements were very gentle. Dazai, who was coaxed, could have tolerated it, but for some reason, he remembered what happened at noon.

“You, you, don’t like me at all.” Dazai is not cute at all, and he doesn’t know how to say nice things, and he doesn’t work hard enough. whimpering… with a choked cry, the little boy grabbed Lin Chuxia’s clothes with his short hands and cried in grievance.

Lin Chuxia listened to Dazai’s cry and his words and smiled helplessly, “That’s nonsense. How could mom not like Dazai? Mom likes Dazai very much. Dazai is sensible and obedient. He’s cute and speaks nicely.”

Dazai was originally crying, but when he heard Lin Chuxia praising him, his crying voice became quieter, and in the end he just sobbed.

However, when he heard the following sentence, “Dazai speaks nicely,” he burst out crying again. That was not him at all. His words were not pleasant at all.

Dazai is self-aware; he knows that he is not a nice person, and the Dazai that bad women like is definitely not him.

Wuwuwu…

Seeing that the eldest son was crying more and more sadly under her praise, Lin Chuxia didn’t know which sentence she said was wrong. She could only turn her head helplessly and look at the other two who had just left to enter the house.

At this time, Erzai and Sanzai were working very hard to carry back the vegetable basket containing fruits placed at the door of the house. However, it was a pity that their abilities were limited and they could only drag it slowly.

Although this was very harmful to the bottom of the vegetable basket, Lin Chuxia didn’t have any objections, but she was slightly relieved that her sons had grown up and knew that it would reduce the burden on the old mother at home.

Lin Chuxia, who claimed to be an old mother, could not get a response from the second and third cubs, so she naturally focused on the crying eldest cub in her arms.

“Be good, be good; why are you crying again? Do you think you hate mom too much and don’t like mom holding you?” Lin Chuxia pretended to be sarcastic but did not let go of the hand holding the big cub.

She was afraid that the big cub would accidentally fall directly to the ground. Although the floor was not stone now, it was still very hard.

After Lin Chuxia’s words, Dazai tightly grabbed her clothes, refused to let go, and did not answer Lin Chuxia’s words, as if he wanted to vent out all the unfair treatment he had ever encountered.

Lin Chuxia might also be able to understand that with her arms around the cub like this, she felt a little tired from standing. She glanced at the stool next to her and sat down, letting the cub sit on her lap and bury him in her arms to continue to cry.

However, as he cried, Dazai was embarrassed and gradually quieted his voice. His occasional sobs told others that he was still feeling particularly aggrieved.

Because, after dragging the vegetable basket in, the second and third cubs focused their attention on the Dazai, who was crying in Lin Chuxia’s arms. As the elder brother, he noticed the eyes of his younger brothers out of the corner of his eye. How could he still cry ? Sometimes, if you want to stop, you can’t stop immediately.

Pretending to be invisible, he buried himself in Lin Chuxia’s arms. He, Xie Hongchu, was not a crybaby.

Finally, when the eldest son stopped crying, Lin Chuxia asked softly, “What’s wrong, Dazai? Is someone bullying you? Let’s see if mommy doesn’t blow that person’s head.”

Lin Chuxia’s protective tone and words made the eldest son cry for a while. After the scene, after venting his inner grievances and sourness, he regained his senses and was feeling embarrassed.

“No, no.” Big Zai’s cool little voice turned into a soft mumble, making him say that he was a bad boy, and he was jealous that his brothers could be liked by bad women.

He is bad!

In fact, even if Dazai didn’t say it, Lin Chuxia probably guessed that Dazai’s words just now were obviously saying ‘she doesn’t like him’. She said this deliberately just to coax Dazai to notice her feelings towards him. His attention.

However, it now seems obvious that Dazai did not understand the subtext of his words.

“Why do our Dazai think that mommy doesn’t like you? Mom prepares egg custard and milk for Dazai every morning. We eat meat at noon and meat at night. There are also new clothes, new shoes, and new straw hats. Look at the things in the village. Have you seen how many children have such a good time at noon ? The little boys in the village were beaten by the adults when they were crying and clamoring to buy new clothes.”

Lin Chuxia refused to say anything when she saw the eldest son, and she did not let him go. If this matter is ignored as time goes by, it will only leave childhood shadows on the children. Some childhood shadows need to be healed in the next life.

Holding the slightly fleshy big cub in her arms, she coaxed with a soft and gentle voice. She brought up a topic that reminded Dazai of good things. Then she reached out and squeezed Dazai’s fat belly. “Look, our Dazai has already started to eat so much that you’re fat. It’s so pretty.”

When Lin Chuxia said this, the big boy looked a little shy. He was the elder brother. Why, how could she say such a thing in front of his younger brother ? He didn’t want to lose face anymore.

The big boy who knew how to be respected as his elder brother at a young age had his ears slightly red, firstly because he cried in front of his younger brother just now, and secondly because of Lin Chuxia’s words to coax him.

“Really, really? I don’t believe it; you didn’t even give it that big candy to me.” Big Zai retorted in an unbelieving voice with a bit of a naughty tone.

Lin Chuxia thought about it for a while before she realized what the boy was talking about. “You mean that wave candy? Didn’t mom put it next to your pillow? You didn’t see it when you woke up.”

Lin Chuxia reminded him, which reminded Dazai of the big candy called wave candy that he saw when he woke up, but at that time he thought it was accidentally left by Erzai or Sanzai.

There was no joy when he saw it. Instead, it reminded him of his sad things, which made him feel more and more aggrieved and sad. His heart was so sour that he almost wanted to cry.

But now…

“Is that wave candy for me?” He raised his head, his eyes washed by tears that were as clear and bright as a stream, and he looked straight at Lin Chuxia.

Lin Chuxia was very smart. From Dazai’s rhetorical question, she learned that Dazai should have seen the wave candy she had put there when she woke up. He just thought she didn’t give it to him.

Then she remembered why she gave the wave candy to the children. In that scene, oh, she didn’t give it to Dazai at that time because he ran away shyly and didn’t have time at all.

As for the children, she thought about coaxing them one after another. Later, she saw the eldest son lying on the bed. At that time, she thought he was asleep and did not disturb him.

But now that she thought about it, Lin Chuxia felt that maybe the truth was not what she thought. Maybe the eldest son was unhappy at that time.

Thinking of her eldest son lying on the bed crying and falling asleep in grievance, she felt heartbroken and pitiful. The child has a strong self-esteem but is also sensitive and fragile…

As expected, raising children is not that simple. “Originally, mother planned to give you the wave candy first, but who knew that you would be shy before I took it out and ran away? Mommy was planning to wait for you to wake up and give you a surprise.”

Lin Chuxia’s words of coaxing came out of her mouth, and her gentle palm patted the big cub’s back to express her comfort. For a while, Lin Chuxia was thinking about how those hard-working women who had four or six children at home had to work in the fields and still take care of themselves.

After being coaxed, Dazai no longer felt as sad as before. Feeling wronged actually added a bit of embarrassment. He cried in front of his brothers.

Dazai, who was a little angry, struggled to get down and then ran quickly towards the house on his short legs.

On one hand, it was to avoid their strange looks, and on the other hand, it was to get back the wave candy that belonged to him, which was specially reserved for him.

“Erzai, Sanzai, come over and help wash the fruit.” Lin Chuxia had not mentioned the matter of the Dazai yet; lest Erzai, Sanzai would keep thinking about it for a while and give the sensitive Dazai a second wave of impact.

“Here we come.” Erzai and Sanzai really didn’t intend to mention what happened just now. The elder brother cried because there was no candy. They couldn’t laugh at him.

However, Dazai didn’t know, so this stereotype remained in Erzai’s mind. They were only asked to wash the fruit, and Lin Chuxia washed it with her hands. Only after they were clean did they start scrubbing the mulberries and plums.

After washing, she started to boil water to take a bath. “Go, ask the Dazai to collect the clothes together, and then bring the clothes over to prepare for a bath.”

Seeing that they had finished washing the fruits, Dazai was still in the room. Lin Chuxia directly ordered the Erzai to call Dazai.

When Dazai was called, he subconsciously stuffed the wave candy under his pillow. Then he felt that his movements seemed inappropriate, so he walked out of the room with a wave candy in his hand.

“Go collect our clothes and get ready to take a bath.” The gentle and attentive Erzai did not mention the matter of his brother crying just now. He briefly mentioned the purpose of coming to him. It was just a small thing anyway. Who has never cried before?

The eldest son was still a little embarrassed. He put back the wave candy in his hand. When he went to collect clothes, he also brought a small stool.

Now, Lin Chuxia no longer needs help taking a bath.

Lin Chuxia filled the hot water with a bucket, adjusted the temperature, and went to the bathroom. It was very bright under the big lamp. First, the Sanzai washed first, and the eldest and second som helped him wash.

Next Erzai washed, and Dazai helped. Finally, Dazai washed. The second son and the third son wanted to accompany his brother, but the eldest son was not happy. The second and third sons expressed that they were afraid that their brother would be alone in there…

Lin Chuxia was not afraid either; she was cooking and cleaning, as she had to tidy up the old room where they lived before.

She sprayed it with insecticide before, closed the door to suffocate the mosquitoes, and then sprayed it again with air freshener, cleaning everything that needed to be changed and washed.

The lights are turned on, but the only thing is that the battery runs out very quickly… Then she spread the sheets, and if possible, next time she goes to the market town she will buy a mat and a mosquito net, but you can also light mosquito coils…

After the meaty dinner, the three children who were driven back to sleep looked at Lin Chuxia helplessly and seemed to be asking Lin Chuxia why they were driven away to their room.

“It’s hot. Mom also has a small fan that I want to give you.” The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it will get even hotter when the harvest is busy. She wants to sleep alone.

Fan!! When will the village be able to pull the wires?  The three smart little villains were not fooled by Lin Chuxia’s words at all. She clearly disliked them…

“Look, mom will decorate this room to be more beautiful in the future. I will try my best to make it more beautiful. In the future, we can buy a house in the city, and then we will have a room each.” Children all need private space and feel that personal privacy is very important.

However, when Lin Chuxia was thinking about this, she ignored another premise, that is, they were all children in their teens.

The three little children, who are only three or five years old now, do not feel that sleeping alone is a prestigious thing at all. On the contrary, they feel that their brotherhood has been separated.

So, the big boy with a straight face and a cool little voice refuted Lin Chuxia’s words seriously: “We don’t want to buy a house in the city anymore!!!”

Damn it, the city is not good at all. The three brothers were not allowed to sleep together.

After hearing what Dazai said, the other two also nodded their heads, looking like people in the city are so stupid. Their soft little voices responded to Dazai’s words, “Yes, we are not going; we will live in the village. ”

The life we live now is particularly happy. We can have meat to eat every day, wear new clothes, don’t have to go hungry or freeze, and don’t have to be pointed at, scolded, or hit if someone doesn’t like them. How wonderful it is.

Lin Chuxia: …It’s my fault; I shouldn’t have said that, because the children have lost their spirit of struggle and improvement!

………

And after Lin Qiu Shuang explained, those children didn’t listen to her at all.
When they went back and told their family, everyone in the village was shocked. “Sun Xiangxue is good at doing business.”

“Really?” He turned to his grandson and asked, “You can’t talk nonsense about this kind of thing!”

The grandson who was suspected raised his chin angrily, “I didn’t talk nonsense, and Lin Qiu Shuang deliberately came over to tell us not to talk nonsense. She must have wanted to deliberately fool us. ”

The children are young, but they are not stupid. If there is nothing really wrong, how could they come and tell them this?

When the family heard this, they also felt it made sense and nodded. Unexpectedly, Sun Xiangxue seemed so careless that he was not doing anything serious. It turned out that… he dared to do such illegal things. No wonder he was not willing to work in the fields and did business instead to make money.

That night, although Lin Qiu Shuang felt a little uneasy, she felt that nothing would happen, so she didn’t think too much about it.

Looking at the ordinary-looking Sun Xiangxue in front of her, but thinking of the aura that will surround him after his future success, she still stepped forward with warmth and tenderness.

The next day, before Lin Qiu Shuang got up, she was woken up by Sun Xiangxue, who yelled at her angrily, “Lin Qiu Shuang, what nonsense are you talking about outside?”

Lin Qiu Shuang, who was still sleeping, heard his roaring voice, opened her eyes, looked over with some doubts, and asked sleepily, “What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong! You have the nerve to ask ? What the hell did you say to Sun Xiangxue outside yesterday?” Business is over.” Sun Xiangxue was so angry that he almost rushed over and grabbed Lin Qiu Shuang’s hair to teach her a lesson.

Did Lin Qiu Shuang think that Sun Xiangxue was doing too well, so she couldn’t stand him and wanted to kill him?

When Sun Xiangxue reprimanded her so angrily, Lin Qiu Shuang’s eyes widened as if she suddenly woke up, and she quickly got up, somewhat nervously asking, “What, what’s wrong? Is something happening outside?”

As soon as he saw Lin Qiu Shuang’s slightly nervous expression, Sun Xiangxue knew that it must be this prodigal woman who was talking nonsense outside. He was so angry.

“I heard that you are telling others outside that I am doing business.” Sun Xiangxue stared at Lin Qiu Shuang with a gloomy face, wondering if she wanted to kill Sun Xiangxue’s unlucky loser.

At this moment, Sun Xiangxue completely forgot how he and Lin Qiu Shuang were so sweet and affectionate yesterday, and they fell out with each other as soon as possible.

“I didn’t. How could I say such a thing? They misunderstood. I said you will definitely be very accomplished and successful in the future.” Lin Qiu Shuang explained immediately because Sun Xiangxue didn’t know.

Sun Xiangxue frowned, and his expression did not recover at all. On the contrary, he looked very ugly. With success and achievements, he felt that he was as good as he was now.

“Then why will some people say that I am a speculator?” And  “why is Sun Xiangxue able to eat and drink without going to the fields to farm? Is it really impossible when the northwest wind blows? So, he really did these things.”

However, these things cannot be told to others; they are extremely secretive, and Sun Xiangxue never shows that he is eating and drinking in front of outsiders.

Now that Lin Qiu Shuang exposed it like this, he is really damned. If someone finds out, he may be killed.

How could Sun Xiangxue hide his emotions? If he didn’t beat Lin Qiu Shuang, he would feel sorry for himself.

“I was careless and said nonsense. In addition, Lin Chuxia couldn’t stand the idea of me marrying you. She was talking nonsense outside and deliberately framed us.” Lin Qiu Shuang’s expression when she saw Sun Xiangxue expression  was ugly, and she started to panic.

Does he want to beat her?

Sun Xiangxue didn’t know whether to believe Lin Qiu Shuang’s panic explanation, so he asked her to get up, go out to cook, and explain to the people in the village.

Lin Qiu Shuang nodded repeatedly. She never thought that this matter would involve so much and that some people would even say that they were speculators. Damn it, don’t you know that these words can drive people to death?
She hated the rumors in the village. However, she had no choice now; she couldn’t just ignore it because she was angry.

After Lin Qiu Shuang went out, Sun Xiangxue quickly threw away his belongings, fearing that one day the red army would come to check and it would be terrible if he was caught.

What a prodigal bitch!

Damn it.

At this time, in the village, when the villagers first heard other people say this, they were still full of surprise and disbelief. “It shouldn’t be true? Who said this? You can’t talk nonsense.”

“My child said that after hearing what that girl Qiu Shuang said herself, it can still be false.” Speaking of this, he shook his head and thought that this kind of thing, hey…

“That can’t be done. This thing can’t be done. I don’t know if they will implicate us if they are caught.” When the Lin family heard about it, their faces darkened.

Especially the Lin family’s sister-in-law, when she heard about this, her sneer face almost didn’t show any hint of schadenfreude; it was just mocking, “Oh, Qiu Shuang is so good to be able to publicize this kind of thing everywhere. Even if the family is exterminated for justice, it can’t be like this. Why did she just shamelessly marry that person?”
