After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

"My brother and I stood in front of her, and she beat us up." Lin Xiangbei complained to his mother anxiously.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, for causing you trouble. These are the meat buns I bought in town and brought a few for you." Shen Yunwan looked apologetic as she took out a large meat bun wrapped in oil paper and handed it to Meng Ruan.

Meng Ruan no longer refused, thinking about dragging Lin Mao to the Lin family later. He couldn't let Yun Wan be bullied.

Today, when Lin Jiang went to Yun Wan's house to move things, she used the excuse of asking Lin Chengfeng's family to show filial piety to Mr. Lin, and as an outsider, it was difficult for her to stop her.

And she is not good at quarreling, so she can only protect the four little ones.

Shen Yunwan patted their heads and said, "You all did great today. In the future, if you encounter any problems, you must protect yourself, okay?"

Shen Yunwan pulled open the clothes of Lin Xiangxi and Lin Xiangbei, and there were several bruises on their bodies.

Her eyes darkened.

"Mother, we will protect ourselves in the future."

Lin Chengfeng felt a little lost. It seemed like they had all forgotten about him as their father.

In just over half a month, their mother was the only one in their eyes.

Shen Yunwan entered the house. As expected, except for a few yams, all the food in the house had been taken away.

Rice, eggs, and even the rapeseed she had picked from the vegetable garden this morning were all gone.

"Mom, one of our chickens was also taken away. It was the biggest and fattest one, Ah Huang." Lin Qiuhua pouted and was about to cry.

Every chicken in the house has a name. She likes Ah Huang the most. She always prepares special meals for it, and it lays the biggest eggs.

"Don't be sad, mother will get it back for you." As she said that, she turned around and took out a machete.

After everything was ready, she looked at Lin Chengfeng again and said, "You stay at home."

"You are a scholar, don't let yourself be labeled as unfilial."

In this world, filial piety is more important than anything else. A reputation for being unfilial can ruin a scholar's future.

She also hoped that Lin Chengfeng would take part in the imperial examination.

Lin Chengfeng looked at the woman in front of him helplessly and dotingly, "You and the children go first, I'll go in a quarter of an hour."

A quarter of an hour was almost enough for her to vent.

If there was more, he was afraid she would be bullied.

Shen Yunwan walked towards the Lin family with a fierce look.

The ladies chatting under the tree were stunned.

"Yun Wan, what are you doing?"

"Auntie, my aunt came to my house, took away all our food, and beat my brother." Before Shen Yunwan could answer, Lin Chunhua replied to her crying.

Lin Xiangxi and Lin Xiangbei followed their sister's instructions and pulled up their trouser legs, revealing a large bruise.

Coupled with the two little ones crying softly and aggrievedly, "Auntie hit me so hard."

It aroused the sympathy of a group of aunties.

"They also took away my chickens," Lin Qiuhua added.

"This Lin family is too much! How could such a wicked woman appear in our Ping'an Village?"

"Come on, I'll go with you to seek justice!"

"I'll go as well."

……

As they spoke, more than a dozen women followed Shen Yunwan, and along the way, many villagers who came to watch the fun joined them, making it a huge group of people.

Lin.

After the Lin family was divided up, without Shen Yunwan as a laborer, Lin Jiang also had to go to the fields to work.

For dinner today, she steamed a big pot of white rice, fried six eggs, and made some stir-fried rapeseed.

When Lin's father and Lin Er came back from the fields, they saw the food on the table, which turned out to be rice and eggs!

"Mom, why are we eating rice today?"

Only during festivals can we eat rice without coarse grains. Why is my mother so generous today?

"This is a gift from the Lin family to show their filial piety to our parents." Mrs. Lin Jiang filled a bowl of rice and handed it to Lin Er.

"The old family? How do they have so much food?" When the family was divided, they were only given a small bag of coarse grains and no silver.

"Eating can't stop you from talking." Old Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes at Lin Er impatiently.

When she thought about how the old man had hoarded so much rice and eggs, Old Mrs. Lin became furious.

It must be that the old man had secretly kept the silver and didn't hand it over.

Otherwise, how could there be so much fine grain? Fortunately, the second brother's family was more thoughtful. When they went to the fields to deliver food to the old man and his family, they went to the eldest brother's house to check.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t know that they have hidden so many good things.

Lin Er, who had worked on the farm all day, was also hungry. No matter where the rice came from, once it went into his stomach, it was his.

Then he wolfed down the rice in the bowl without even having time to pick up any vegetables.

Old Master Lin tapped the pipe in his hand and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

While eating in the yard, I saw a large group of people walking towards the Su family.

Lin Jiang stood up from the stool.

The leader was Shen Yunwan holding a machete, followed by a large group of villagers.

Lin Jiang felt a little guilty when she saw so many people.

Old Master Lin and Lin Er also saw a large group of people outside the yard. Old Master Lin was a little troubled. The old family had already been divided out, so why were they still restless?!

Then he looked at his startled second daughter-in-law and said unhappily, "What did you do again?"

Then he put down the bowl and asked, "Is this food a gift from the old family to me and your mother, or did you steal it back?"

"What? You went to the old man's house to steal food?" Lin Lao Er also put down the bowl in his hand and scolded, "You are really confused. With such a small amount of food, you went to the old man's house to steal. Now you have a bad reputation. Is there any hope for the boy in your family to get married?"

Lin Jiang stiffened her neck and said, "What do you mean by robbing? This originally belonged to our family. They hid it before they split up the family."

It's not like she's eating alone, and with her parents backing her up, she doesn't believe Shen Yunwan would dare to cause trouble.

Old Mrs. Lin had a frown on her face and was very angry. This old family had hidden so much grain right under her nose and then divided up the property. It was really a bargain for them.

Now, he just took some food and dared to bring people to our door.

"What are you arguing about? Isn't it natural for a son to respect his parents? I just asked the second son's family to get some food. What's wrong with that?"

"Is it illegal? How can a son eat white rice while his parents eat chaff? It's a shame that Lin Chengfeng is a scholar."

Old Mrs. Lin wasn't worried at all.

Just the word "filial piety" can be used to firmly control the old family.

"Lin Er is also at home. He's eating rice and eggs, and he sounds delicious. Of course, the things that are stolen taste good." Aunt Sun said sarcastically.

Everyone at the table understood that this was all about seeking justice for the old family.

Old Lady Lin put down the bowl in her hand and said, "Grandma Sun, you are really bored. Do you have enough food at home? And you still care about me?"

Aunt Sun was a poor family in the village. Because she gave birth to three daughters, she was kicked out by her husband's family, and her husband died early in an accident.

She was left alone to raise her daughter.

There is no labor force and the children at home are still young, so they often have difficulty making ends meet.

"Auntie Sun's family does not have enough food, but they earn it with their own hands, unlike you who rob others of their food!" Seeing Old Lady Lin exposing Auntie Sun's shortcomings, Auntie Wang stood up and spoke for Auntie Sun.

Although her family lived a difficult life, they did not steal or rob. A woman raised three daughters. This kind of courage was the first of its kind in Ping'an Village.

"Exactly, unlike you guys, your hands and feet are dirty!"

"What do you mean by dirty hands? I just went to the old house to get some fine grains to honor my parents. This is our family's business and has nothing to do with you?" Lin Jiang asked loudly in anger.

Lin Er held her down and said, it was just a few liters of rice and a few eggs. At worst, he could just return them. There was no need for such a big fuss.

"Old man, this is our family affair. There's no need to make such a fuss. If you feel that your parents don't deserve to eat your rice and eggs, I can ask Mom to return them to you."

Lin Er's words were meant to nail Lin Dajia to the pillar of unfilial piety.
