Chapter 2 Trouble is coming

"Today's incident was a bit sudden. Everyone has gathered together, so we will discuss the outcome. Should we keep the little girl or send her to the village chief's house so that he can arrange a way out."

Lin Changlu took two puffs of dry cigarette, his face darkened by the sun and looking solemn.

When he saw Ah Li for the first time, he felt very fond of her, but their current family situation was not suitable for adding someone to their family.

Food for next year has not yet been secured, and it will take several months to get through this year. The whole family will have to tighten their belts.

"Dad, I think everyone likes this girl. Why don't we wait a few days to see if any family members come to look for her? If no one comes to look for her, how about we just keep her?"

When Lin Dalang came back with Ah Li in his arms, the four sons of the Lin family were not there. They followed the village chief to clean up the river.

When they heard someone saying that their family had picked up a little girl, they all ran back quickly.

Mrs. Pei also nodded in agreement, "Old man, the boss is right. I really like Lili. If no family comes to find her, just leave her! I finally got a daughter. At worst, I will lose my food rations."

Save it for her."

"Grandpa, please keep your sister!"

"Yes, grandpa, we all saved half of the rations for her."

"Let's go to the mountains to dig more wild vegetables to feed my sister."

"I'll dig wild vegetables too."

Ten-year-old Lin Dalang, eight-year-old Lin Erlang, seven-year-old Lin Sanlang, and five-year-old Lin Silang all prayed to Lin Changlu expectantly, hoping to keep Ah Li.

Lin Changlu was silent for a while, then looked at the other people beside him, "Boss, wife, second, second, wife, third, what do you think?"

Lin Darong's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, has a somewhat weak character. She would not dare to speak out her thoughts on such occasions. She would just listen to her elders every time.

Lin Errong and his daughter-in-law Yan are both happy people. Lin Errong said directly: "Dad, we also like Lili and agree to stay. Then I will go to the county to find a job and earn more money."

Lin Sanrong also raised his hands in approval. He used to be envious of his classmates, who often saw their younger sisters lying at the door of the school and sweetly calling their brothers.

Half a month later.

The village chief and the Lin family asked around and heard that no one had lost their child, and no one found it.

The Lin family proposed to adopt Ah Li, and the village chief expressed appreciation for their decision. After all, if the Lin family didn't adopt him, he would have to find a good family or send him to the county to report him to the authorities.

Nowadays, every household is suffering. There is not enough food for everyone in the family. How can there be any extra spare food to raise such a well-fed child?

The county town was in chaos because of the floods. There were many families separated from their families, and the government had no energy to care about them.

From then on, Ah Li became a member of the Lin family.

Lin Dalang and the others were originally happy to finally have a sister, but they didn't know that Yan suddenly found out that she was pregnant. Pei didn't like Zhang's submissive nature.

He simply raised Meng Li in his name and became her daughter.

Although her grandson is quite old, he is actually only thirty-eight years old, so now she has achieved her wish.

The little ones wailed, and the cute little sister suddenly became their sister-in-law.

Only Mrs. Pei was so happy that she couldn't help but smile, and the wrinkles on her face turned into a flower.

Liu Cuihua, who didn't deal with the Pei family in the village, took every opportunity to gossip that the Lin family had plenty of food and that with so many men in the family, they still had spare money to raise a loser.

He also deliberately said that all A Li was fed was meat and white rice.

Mrs. Pei's mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen, was so angry that her liver ached when she heard the gossip. She had extra food and was not filial to the elderly. She actually gave it to an outsider.

Under the instigation of her eldest daughter-in-law, she quickly came to her door.

On this day, Ah Li and Shiro were happily chasing each other outside the yard.

Suddenly, Ah Li bumped into someone.

"Bitch girl, you're going to die. Didn't you see us coming? Can my old bones withstand such a collision from you?"

Ah Li looked at the ferocious-looking old woman in front of him, his eyes widened and he said, "I'm not a cheap girl, you are."

She has been following the Lin family around the village these days, probably because she is not an ordinary person, has amazing learning ability, and speaks much more fluently.

She knew it was not a good thing to say.

Mrs. Chen became even more angry when she heard A Li's words. She pointed at her and cursed loudly: "What a white-eyed wolf. He eats my Lin family's food and dares to scold his elders. Mr. Pei can't teach you, old lady, I will teach you myself."

After scolding, he couldn't help but step forward and grab Ah Li's arm.

Ah Li was so flexible that he turned around and slipped to the side without being caught.

Although Shiro was a little afraid of Mrs. Chen, he wanted to protect his little aunt, so he quickly pulled A Li behind him.

"Tainai, please don't hit my little aunt. She's still young. If you want to hit me, just hit me!"

"Okay, it's only been a few days, and this little bitch has seduced you into protecting her like this. It seems that the people in the village are really right. They gave her all the good things in your family, right?"

Mrs. Chen's drooping triangular eyes were almost sparkling with sparks. She raised her hand and was about to hit Shiro.

"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you angry with the two children?"

Mrs. Pei was working in the house when she heard Mrs. Chen's voice outside. She panicked and ran out immediately.

Seeing this scene, he immediately pulled Shiro and A Li behind him to protect them.

"Ms. Pei, you are getting more and more courageous now. Even if you adopt this bitch, you will let her live a good life all day long. You don't know how to show filial piety to your elders."

Mrs. Pei wanted to roll her eyes at her. If she really cared about her man and children and kicked them out in the first place, she would not have given them a penny of her family property.

"Mom, don't you know what's going on in our family? The porridge you drink every day can make people's shadows shine, so don't listen to other people's nonsense. Besides, you know how Changlu and I were separated in the first place.

, now I won’t bother you to worry about my family affairs.”

There was a trace of unnaturalness on Mrs. Chen's face, but she was thick-skinned and did not feel that she had done anything wrong.

"Hmph, don't talk to me about that. You treat this bitch like a treasure now, and you won't be afraid of raising a white-eyed wolf in the future. I think it's better to send her away quickly!"

When Mrs. Pei heard that the old woman wanted to send Ah Li away, she became even more unhappy.

"We absolutely cannot send A Li away. She is now my daughter. No one can touch her."

The Lin family's current situation is entirely due to Pei's fierce character.

Ten years ago, Lin Changlu injured one of his legs. His eldest brother and his family were afraid of being dragged down, so they teamed up with Mrs. Chen to drive the family out in the middle of the winter, and divided them into two bags of old grain that had been stored for who knows how long.

Mr. Lin was still alive at that time. He felt sorry for Lin Changlu and secretly gave him five taels of silver, so that the whole family had a way to survive.

Now that Mrs. Chen wants to take care of her family's affairs, Mrs. Pei will not spoil her.

"I won't talk to a shrew like you." Mrs. Chen turned around and shouted into the yard: "Second brother, second brother, come out. Your mother is still hiding in the house after she comes. It's really a waste of money for you."
