The Tough Peasant Wife: Jin Niang - C17 Lin Hongyu
Chapter 16 Lin Hongyu did not have much impression of her grandfather or grandmother, so when she heard Old Lady Liu speak of them, she was very curious, and did not know what kind of elderly couple they were.
Jin Niang smiled as he listened to her. She really didn’t have any impression of him, mainly because her grandparents had left too early. At that time, Jin Niang was only a couple of years old.
However, he also learned from others that the old couple was indeed a rare good person. They were kind and honest, and were quite popular in the village.
However, those people always had a connection with Lin Dasheng. For such a kind couple to raise such a son, they couldn’t help but revere the old couple and despise Lin Dasheng as well.
Jin Niang had also heard similar words more than once, but after considering the relationship between Lin Dashun and Yang Lihua, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that those people might not be able to see through them and make that old couple beautiful, so she had always chosen to listen to them selectively.
This time, even Old Lady Liu had spoken like this, it seemed that the old couple was indeed a good person.
It was rather strange. How could such a good couple raise a person like Lin Dashun? It was no wonder that the villagers would sigh with emotion when they saw Lin Dashun. The disparity was too great.
Old Lady Liu had a sad look on her face as she spoke, “If your grandparents were here, they wouldn’t have caused you to suffer so much, and in the end …” She sighed and stopped talking. It was nothing more than being sold by her own mother.
Jin Niang didn’t know what expression to show now. Although she had inherited a portion of a person’s memories, to her, it was still a layer away from her. The little girl was no longer there, and she had no way of knowing what thoughts she would have.
However, she felt disgusted with Lin Da Shun and Yang Lihua, the husband and wife pair. She no longer had any feelings for them, it would be best if they did not touch her hands in the future, if not she would let them know why the flowers were so red!
Seeing Jin Niang not saying anything, Old Lady Liu also realized that she was poking at Jin Niang’s sore spot, and then she changed the topic while laughing, “Fortunately, the Su Family is a kind person, so leaving that family would also be a good thing.”
She then thought about Jin Niang’s aunt, Lin Dasheng’s sister Lin Yuhong, who was also a pitiful person.
Jin Niang’s grandparents raised two children. One of them was Lin Da Shun, and the other was a daughter named Lin Hong Yu.
Jin Niang’s grandparents had always done their duty, worked diligently and treated others kindly. After so many years, they had never seen anyone else have a relationship with them before, and were a pair of extremely gentle people.
It was a pity that good people didn’t live long. After Lin Dasheng got married, Jin Niang and her wife died when she was two.
Lin Dashun was fine, he was already married and had a child, but Lin Hongyu was miserable. At that time, she was already 14 years old, and after her parents died, she had to spend three years of filial piety.
Yang Lihua did not have a good character to begin with. She was born with a harsh appearance, and when Lin Dashun saw that the honest look on her face, she was actually ungrateful.
After the death of her parents, Lin Hong Yu’s days were not easy. Yang Lihua had always despised this little sister-in-law for being an eyesore, and furthermore, after thinking about how she would become a 17 year old lady after being filial, how could such an old lady marry a good family? He even wanted to give her a dowry.
How could she be willing? Lin Hongyu was like a maid as she took care of the rest of their family. She thought that her brother was still her blood brother, and for the sake of her brother’s family, she would not lower herself to the same level as her sister-in-law.
In the end, her patience did not receive any gratitude from the bystanders, but instead made Yang Lihua even more grateful, and after the period of filial piety had passed, she began to marry Lin Hongyu off.
How could someone like Yang Lihua sincerely plan for her sister-in-law? Since she coveted money, she decided to secretly send Lin Hongyu to the town to be her concubine.
The other member of the staff was a renowned lustful pervert. There were many girls in the room, and he was already in his fifties.
Yang Lihua and the matchmaker secretly discussed how they could sell their sister-in-law for a good price. Although Lin Hongyu was a village girl, her appearance was not bad.
To be honest, Jin Niang and Lin Hongyu were somewhat similar, even the village elders could see that. However, because Lin Hongyu had been working in the village for a long time, the skin on her face became darker and rougher, causing her beauty to be greatly reduced.
Jin Niang and Lin Hongyu were similar, but not completely alike. Jin Niang’s facial features were more exquisite, and her skin was a little whiter than Lin Hongyu’s.
But no matter what, they could tell that Jin Niang was a child of their Lin Family. It was unknown if her eyes and’s had been muddled by feces or if they did not want to see it clearly, but they could not believe that Jin Niang was his flesh and blood.
Jin Niang felt that their nature was cold, and was merely finding an excuse for him to think highly of her own son.
Saying that, Lin Hongyu was dressed up like a beautiful lady, which was why Yang Lihua and Lin Da Shun had this plan.
They also knew that it was best to speak of this matter at the last moment. When the time came, everything would be settled. They did not believe that she, Lin Hongyu, would still be able to avoid marrying.
Fortunately, Lin Hongyu was alerted. After discovering the abnormality that her brother and sister-in-law had suffered during this period of time, she had carefully observed their actions. At the last moment, she finally found out what had happened.
Afterwards, she found out about Lin Dashun and Yang Lihua’s plans. This made Lin Hongyu, who had already been disappointed in her brother and sister-in-law for the past few years, even more so, feel a chill in her heart.
This was his own brother, so this was how he treated her! What else did she have to worry about?
Lin Hong Yu was not weak and did not resist at all. On the contrary, she was very aggressive, previously, she did not care about Yang Lihua and the rest, but now that she realized it, she was not worried at all!
He was about to be sold by them. Who cares if he was related to his own brother or to his own sister-in-law?
She knew that she was weak and that her marriage was in the hands of her brother and sister-in-law, so she directly went to the clan. She cried pitifully, and there were also people in the clan who could not bear to see Lin Da Shun and Yang Lihua’s actions, so they stood up for her.
Because of this, Yang Lihua and Lin Dasheng were warned by the patriarch. In their hearts, they gritted their teeth in hatred, but Yang Lihua had always been shameless, and had even made a scene on the spot.
“Isn’t it for her own good? Look at her, she’s already seventeen years old, where can I find such a good person? The family is so rich, and red jade used to be their life of luxury. They ate and drank to their heart’s content, and there were even maids serving them.
“Compared to marrying a bad farmer, I might as well be a concubine to the Outside Yang! It took a lot of effort for me to connect with Madame Hu. I don’t know how much I gave away in silver, but it’s all for her own good! ”
Her words made sense, as though they made sense. Lin Hongyu stood at the side, trembling with anger. Was all of this for her own good? Don’t you know what kind of person Outside Yang is? How could this be a dragon pond or a tiger cave? Who knew how many girls directly broke into it after entering.
Lin Hongyu immediately cried out, “I’m not afraid of poverty, not afraid of hardship, but I definitely cannot ruin myself. How many daughters of good families would there be to be concubines? “If we tell others, how would they think we’re people with the surname Lin?”
Her words woke those people up. No matter what, being a concubine was not a glorious thing. If there was one in the clan, how would other girls feel?
Those who had daughters in the family no longer felt that Yang Lihua’s words made sense, and stood up one after another to denounce Yang Lihua and Lin Da Shun for mistreating their little sister.
The Patriarch even said that if Yang Lihua decided to send the Lin Family’s daughter to be someone else’s concubine, he would divorce her.
Yang Lihua shrank her neck and no longer dared to act rashly.
Lin Hongyu’s crisis was averted for the time being, but Lin Hongyu had already completely lost all trust in her brother and sister-in-law. She was also a straightforward person, so she asked the clan’s auntie to help her arrange a marriage and marry her off as soon as possible.
The mistress sympathized with her plight and quickly settled down a house for her. It was an ordinary family. Although they had average appearances, they were more honest and loyal, so Lin Hongyu didn’t pick them.
She knew she didn’t have the right to choose right now.
From the date of marriage to the time of marriage, it only took Lin Hongyu a month to get married.
Yang Lihua and Lin Da Shun were so angry at her for spoiling their own good fortune, so they treated her indifferently. In the end, not to mention the dowry, they didn’t even give her a single cent.
In the end, the elders of the clan couldn’t bear to see this. At any rate, she had collected two sets of clothes, so she carried a small bag to her in-laws’ home.
However, in the end, she had already formed an enmity with Lin Da Shun and Yang Lihua, and hated them even more in her heart. Ever since she got married, she had never interacted with Lin Da Shun and Yang Lihua.
Even if her life was as it was now, and men were honest and capable, they would treat her extremely well. At a time when her life was rather comfortable, she still could not forgive Lin Dasheng and Yang Lihua.
In Jin Niang’s memories, this aunt hadn’t seen her for many years.
That’s right, she had been busy giving birth to a baby, and hugging for three years wasn’t as easy as carrying two children at will. Lin Hongyu had recently been living with her in-laws, so she was feeling very proud and excited.
However, Lin Hongyu still doted on Jin Niang when she was at home. At that time, Yang Lihua and Lin Dashun had already started to work hard for Jin Niang, and Lin Hongyu had also tried to protect her many times.
After Lin Hongyu’s marriage, Jin Niang’s miserable life could be considered to have officially started. All of the household chores belonged to her alone, and there was no need to be vague about it.
