Chapter 169: Dead Husband, Raising a Child, and Escape from Famine 9

"Sanlang, let's go back to bed."

Lin Qing patted Qin Sanlang who was still in a daze, pulled him up from the ground, and dragged him towards the small house next to him.

Qin Sanlang shook his messy head and followed his uncle mechanically, holding the wooden bucket of cold water in his other hand. He was so busy thinking about things that he hadn't even taken a sip yet.

When he returned to the hut and sat on the kang, he was just about to scoop out a bowl of water to drink half full before going to sleep, when two warm things were stuffed into his hands.

He subconsciously clenched his fingers but did not look up. It was unknown what he was thinking.

Lin Qing advised earnestly: "Sanlang, I won't tell you more about those principles. You are not really stupid. We are just ordinary peasants. We don't have the capital to learn the sour Confucianism."

Qin Sanlang suddenly asked, "Uncle, what kind of person is my mother?"

He thought that was the woman who was always submissive, never said much, and just worked hard with his father.

He once heard several aunts making fun of his mother, saying that what's the big deal about being the daughter of a juren, since she still had to get up early and work late to serve the whole family.

Lin Qing knew what his eldest nephew was thinking. He probably felt that his second sister today had completely overturned the image of a cowardly and incompetent mother in his mind.

He thought about it and decided to tell the story of how his second sister held a knife and forced the Lin family to hand over their mother's dowry:

"She is not a coward by nature, but she suppressed her nature for me and her own children.

Now think about it, when your grandmother passed away, she was only ten years old. How could it be easy for her to raise me to the age of five without any illness or disaster in a place like the Lin family where people are eaten? If it were you or me, could we do it? "

Qin Sanlang was silent for a long while before he wiped the tears from his eyes and nodded: "I understand, little uncle."

Lin Qing touched his hair and said, "Eat the eggs and go to sleep. I'll take you to the city to buy groceries tomorrow."

"Um!"

In the darkness, Qin Sanlang ate the two eggs with great care.

He has never eaten two boiled eggs at a time.

As he chewed, he couldn't help but shed tears. In fact, he used to be just like the rest of the Qin family. He looked down on his own mother and thought she was both pitiful and pathetic. A legitimate daughter of a juren family actually married a man like his father.

He even occasionally had unfilial thoughts, wondering if his mother was really like what his aunts secretly said, that she was lacking in morals in some way and that was why she didn't want a betrothal gift and even gave him food.

He slapped himself twice again. He was such a bastard. If his mother hadn't protected them at the risk of her life for so many years, with his father's character, he would have sold them out for money long ago.

Suddenly, he thought of something. At that time, the conscription order had not come down yet, and his father had quarreled with his mother several times. He only heard fragments of their conversation, such as about being a book boy in the city and having a good life. His mother was unwilling to give money to his father to exempt him from military service. Could it be related to this incident?

......

Lin Sheng, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up by 803 [Hurry up and take a look. That guy has been squatting on the kang and staring at you for half an hour. I don’t know what he is doing. It’s really creepy. ]

Lin Sheng rolled his eyes. He was still hungry after eating eggs last night, so he waited until the children fell asleep before entering the space and eating a lot.

I was in a good mood and played games with 803 for half the night. It's only been less than two hours since I closed my eyes when this guy did this.

Because 803 is on night watch, she always blocks out external interference when she sleeps. It seems she really needs to be more careful next time.

"Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and staring at me? What do you want to do?"

Qin Sanlang, who was in a daze, was frightened by his mother's voice. He wanted to stand up and run away, but his feet were numb and he sat down on the ground again.

Lin Sheng looked at the embarrassed boy on the ground and could only look up at the sky in silence. He deserved it. Who told you to mess around in the middle of the night? "Go to the yard and wait for me first. I'll come after I change my clothes."

This guy probably has something to say to her but doesn't know how to start. Instead of hiding it like this, it would be better for them to sit down and chat together.

Qin Sanlang didn't care about his numb feet and quickly crawled to the yard.

When Lin Sheng came out, Qin Sanlang had already combed his hair and was standing there quietly.

The two of them walked towards the woodshed and sat on the ground facing each other.

Seeing that this boy even took off his coat and folded it to use as a cushion for her, Lin Sheng gave him a point in her heart: "Go ahead, what do you want to ask?"

Qin Sanlang hesitated for a long time before he asked, "Mom, why didn't you lend my uncle money to exempt Dad from military service? Don't you want Dad to live?"

Lin Sheng didn't expect that the boy was also present at the time, but she was not the original owner, and she never wanted to cover up for that wicked late husband:

"Haha, let me ask you one question. Who will pay back the money after it is borrowed?"

Qin Sanlang opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer, so he closed it again.

"You are too embarrassed to say it, so let me help you say it. The most likely possibility is that the Qin family, including your father Qin, don't thank your uncle and think that he forced you to borrow the money. In the end, your uncle will have to pay it back himself. There is another possibility..."

She looked at Qin Sanlang, whose face was slightly red, and sneered: "Even if your father sold you brothers and sisters, it would be just enough to pay back the money, and the remaining money can be used to honor your grandparents, killing two birds with one stone."

At this point, she thought of another possibility: "This probability is not low. That is, your father took the 10 taels of silver and handed it directly to your grandmother, and he was happily preparing to go to the battlefield."

Qin Sanlang could hardly lift his head. His mother was right. The Qin family, including his father, were such people.

Lin Sheng sighed again: "Actually, I'm quite glad that the imperial court came to recruit soldiers. Before that, you should have heard me arguing with your father a lot, right?"

"Yeah, I heard some." Qin Sanlang perked up again. This was actually what he wanted to ask most.

Lin Sheng raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth: "Your fourth uncle, who is a beast in human form, in order to get in touch with the county magistrate, came to persuade your father to send you to the city to serve as a servant to the county magistrate's father who is nearly 70 years old."

"What?" Qin Sanlang jumped up excitedly: "Isn't that old beast famous for liking Long Yang..."

At this point, he felt like he was nailed there, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. His two younger brothers were still young, so wasn't he the most suitable candidate?
