A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Chapter 268 Borrowing Light

"Boss, Xiaomi is back!"

"Who told you that?" Lin Dahai, who had just finished dinner, was picking the residue from his teeth and leaning casually on the warm kang.

This life is so damn comfortable. It would be even better if he could marry a beautiful concubine! However, Yang, this shrew, is bound to make trouble for him. Sigh, just make do with it!

As long as he had meat, wine and a warm bed, that was enough! He was content.

"The villagers near the village said that several carriages entered the village today. Maybe Xiaomi went home to visit her parents!"

"How could you come back so early? It's so cold. Don't hang out with them. Have you forgotten what mother taught you last time? There are always many nobles in my brother's manor. Maybe someone wants to curry favor with him and send him a New Year gift."

Yang curled her lips, "What did I say? Which one of them is nonsense? It's your mother who is biased."

"Okay, okay, you are right. Hurry up and pour me a glass of brown sugar water. I feel a little dizzy."

Yang pushed the man on the kang and said, "Are you really not going to ask Big Brother? What if he really comes back?" She had a hunch that it was Xiaomi who came home. She felt a little itchy for a moment. Big Brother's farm must be very lively right now, right?

She really wanted to go there and get first-hand information so that she could brag about it in the village tomorrow.

"Why ask? Just come back if you want to. She's not your daughter. Even if she comes back, why would you go to see her? Don't bother them. If you really come back, you'll see her someday." He knew what he was talking about. Why would he bother them? Don't bother them.

As he spoke, Lin Dahai lay down on the kang: "Hurry up and pour some water, and add more sugar."

Yang:......

I stood up resignedly and made him some sugar water. If he hadn't been making more and more money in recent years, he would have wanted to drink sugar water even though he looked like an old man. I wouldn't even let him drink my urine.

The old house also heard about Lin Xiaomi's return home.

"Old man, wealthy families value filial piety the most. If Xiaomi doesn't come to visit us first when she comes back, it would be unfilial!"

Old Man Lin paused while smoking and looked at his wife. "You are the only one who has so many things to do. How can you not be filial? Did she give you less food or clothes? She just got home. She has to clean up. She must be exhausted from the journey back. She will come tomorrow."

Humph, Xiaomi is now the wife of the prince, can he scold her whenever he wants? What a fool who doesn't understand the situation!

She was just a hind-mother, and she wanted to act like a grandmother. He, a grandfather, didn't even dare to act like a grandmother. A few days ago, his second brother had just analyzed with him the consequences of offending Xiaomi and the power that girl had now.

After weighing the pros and cons, and for the future of his children and grandchildren, he will be a loving grandfather in front of Xiaomi from now on.

Old Mrs. Li: ...That old man is becoming more and more unwilling to listen to her.

Old Mrs. Li ignored him, pulled the quilt over her, and turned her back to Old Man Lin.

"Master, how do you think Xiaomi is doing in the Marquis' Mansion?"

"No matter what, it's better than our life. There are so many people serving us, we don't have to do anything, and we can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

Song pursed her lips. Yes, no matter how bad she was, she was better than her and her daughter. Thinking about her pregnant daughter who had to wash clothes and cook for herself in such a cold weather, her heart tightened and she felt so painful.

She thought it was a good destination, but who would have thought that the old woman was a black-hearted person who took advantage of her daughter to torture her.

Relying on her status as a mother-in-law, she ordered Wanxiu to do everything. Every day she had a headache or a fever, and she lay on the kang pretending to be dead. Poor girl, due to filial piety, it was difficult for her to resist.

She couldn't think about it. She felt very uncomfortable when she thought about it. Looking at his wife wiping her tears, Lin Dachuan felt uncomfortable: "Okay, didn't my daughter say that she would find a way to divide the family after the New Year?"

"It's not that easy. The son-in-law is the eldest son and is very capable. Wanxiu's dowry is generous. With them, the whole family can have enough food and clothing without having to work. Is she stupid or crazy to divide them up?"

Lin Dachuan knew in his heart that it was impossible. His eldest brother had divided it out because his mother wanted the family property. Now, Wanxiu had a lot of private property, and they definitely wanted her to help her husband's family.

Their family is old and the young are still young, and their father-in-law has passed away, so there is not enough labor force. Even if they want to divide the family, they will not take their son-in-law with them.

Alas, it is difficult to jump out of this fire pit, unless the old woman dies, or Xiaomi stands up for Wanxiu.

Lin Dachuan's eyes flashed with brilliance. Isn't there Xiaomi? She came back just in time!

"His mother, if Xiaomi is confirmed to be back tomorrow, you can send a message saying that cousin Wanxiu, the wife of the prince, has returned to her parents' home and misses her cousin, so she wants her to come over and spend two days together."

"You mean..."

"With Xiaomi's support, I don't believe that old hag would dare to bully Wanxiu."

"But the sisters don't get along well and are not close to each other!" Song said worriedly.

"How can others know whether it's suitable or not? They just need to know that Xiaomi wants to see Wanxiu, kiss her and reminisce about the past."

Song understood.

"You're right. If she really comes back, she will definitely come to see mom and dad tomorrow. Once you're sure, call Wanxiu over immediately."

They must borrow Xiaomi's light. And they must borrow it with a clear conscience and in an upright manner. How can the cousin bear to see her cousin's life go badly?
