Jiang Lan is integrating into the Lin family, and everyone in the Lin family loves to see him, except Liu Feng.

Since Liu Feng was assigned by Guo Chunlan to help in the duck farm, she has hated Jiang Lan for no other reason. Compared with doing housework at home, the work in the duck farm is much harder.

Every morning when I go out under the scorching hot sun, I have to get busy when I arrive at the smelly and dirty duck farm, drive ducks, feed ducks, pick up eggs, clean dung, and dry dung... Lin Weijian pays back every three days. They have to deliver ducks and duck eggs to customers in the county, and sell the dried duck manure to farmers by the way. At this time, the duck farm is busier than usual.

Liu Feng was originally a lazy person, and came to work only after being driven out of the market. He was reluctant in his heart, and made mistakes and complained a lot within a few days.In the first few days when Guo Chunlan saw her doing foreign work, she couldn't bear to say anything. Today, seeing her break a dozen duck eggs, she finally couldn't help it, and she criticized a few words.

Liu Feng felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to contradict her mother-in-law openly, so she closed the door at night to vent her anger on her husband, and forced him to ask him about agreeing to buy a color TV.

The Lin family currently only has a black and white TV, which has almost become Lin Weikang's exclusive entertainment tool.When Liu Feng got married the year before last, Lin Weijian promised to buy her a color TV within two years after marriage.But Guo Chunlan didn't know the plan of the couple. In order to marry Lin Weikang, she asked Lin Weijian for 1000 yuan.

Lin Weijian is an honest person, and thinking that he is the boss of the family, he should give in to his younger siblings, so he didn't take it seriously and gave the money without hesitation.Now facing Liu Feng's aggressive questioning, he felt overwhelmed, and he was used to being straightforward, and he didn't think about those roundabout excuses, so he just said the reason why he didn't have any money.

Liu Feng was completely angry when he heard that, thinking that the second room would grab everything in front of the big room to enjoy the blessings, thinking that Lin Weikang had the only TV set in the house for himself, thinking that he was working hard to serve the ducks in the duck farm, but Jiang Lan just stayed. Serving the fool at home, thinking that she couldn't buy a color TV because of Jiang Lan, and thinking of the increasingly friendly attitude of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law towards Jiang Lan, a fire of hatred burst out in her heart.

Regardless of Lin Weijian's dissuasion, she opened the door and yelled loudly towards Jiang Lan and Lin Jinyun's room: "Tell me about the world, some people are lucky, married and cook a few dishes every day. Just make fun of a fool, and you can become a young mistress, coaxing the whole family as if you found a treasure. Some people are like a maid, who is a cow and a horse all day long and is hated and resented by others."

When Lin Weijian heard Liu Feng directly calling his younger brother a fool, his face darkened immediately, he walked over and slammed the door, turned around and scolded his wife.Not to be outdone, Liu Feng answered every sentence, and the husband and wife soon quarreled.

Guo Chunlan's mother and son lived far away on the first floor and did not hear the quarrel between the two couples, but Jiang Lan who was separated by a wall could hear it clearly.

After Lin Jinyun finished washing, he passed the room of his elder brother and sister-in-law, and heard the sound of arguing inside. He stopped and listened to a few words, and then he came back to his room and turned on the tape recorder loudly.

A song that was very popular two years ago was playing on the recorder, "Sister, you go forward boldly", and Lin Jinyun hummed along with the melody.

Jiang Lan was quite depressed at first, but when she saw her heartless appearance, she couldn't help laughing and said, "You are carefree and optimistic."

"I've gotten used to it a long time ago. If I really want to take what she said seriously, I have to be a man with my tail between my legs."

After she finished speaking, she turned up the volume again.

Jiang Lan saw that the sister-in-law was a little aggressive, so she quickly stopped her and said: "Don't make it so loud, she is angry, don't add fuel to the flames, lest...it will be blamed on me again."

When Lin Jinyun heard this, he also felt that he was a little careless, so he immediately turned down the volume a little, and looked at Jiang Lan with apology, "Don't take her words seriously, she is just making use of it."

"Well, I know."

The two sat on the bed and listened to the broadcast for a while, until the quarrel next door gradually subsided, then turned off the lights and lay down.

After an unknown amount of time, when Lin Jinyun was about to fall asleep, he vaguely heard a soft sigh coming from the darkness.She turned her head to look at Jiang Lan, but she saw only darkness.

There was no moon tonight, as if everything was covered with a thick layer of darkness. It was supposed to be a long night of good sleep and dreams, but Lin Jinyun's mind was disturbed by this barely audible sigh.

"Can't you sleep?"

Jiang Lan was surprised by this inquiry, she didn't expect that the sister-in-law beside her was still awake, and she felt a little regretful, "Did I disturb you?"

"No. I'm not asleep either."

"Oh."

"I'm not sleepy, why don't we chat for a while?"

"Alright."

Jiang Lan and Lin Jinyun have lived together for more than a week, and they have never talked in bed. She is not a talkative personality, and she is born cautious. If it were someone else, she would definitely not want to talk too much.But she felt that Lin Jinyun was not an outsider, and she was willing to trust this sister-in-law after getting along day and night for a week.

"May I ask you a question? If you find it difficult, it's okay not to answer."

"Well, you ask."

"A few days ago, did your father come to our house to look for you?"

Jiang Lan didn't expect Lin Jinyun to ask such a straightforward question, so she hesitated immediately.

Lin Jinyun didn't hear Jiang Lan's answer, and regretted his meddling in his heart, and immediately apologized: "Sorry, this question is too personal, hehe, you don't need to answer me."

"It's okay." Jiang Lan said slowly, "He came to me to ask for money."

Lin Jinyun seemed to have forgotten his regret just now, and then asked: "Why do you want money?"

"Living expenses, and my brother's tuition for next year"

"Did you...would you come to our house voluntarily?"

Jiang Lan didn't expect that Lin Jinyun would suddenly ask about her. Although she was a little surprised, she said calmly, "Yes, yes."

"I thought your father forced you, but I didn't expect you to come here voluntarily."

"The family is short of money, besides, I'm not too old anymore."

After hearing this, Lin Jinyun murmured: "You are really cruel to yourself. Are you not afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"It's normal to be afraid. Marrying someone like my brother is destined to worry about you for the rest of your life and be laughed at by others. Frankly speaking, if I were you, I might not be able to do this, just leave myself like this..."

Lin Jinyun originally wanted to say "sell yourself like this", but suddenly realized that these words were a bit hurtful, so he quickly stopped his desire to continue, feeling a little guilty in his heart, secretly blaming himself for speaking too hastily.

The person on the other side of the pillow was silent for a long time before he said leisurely: "Yeah, he was very cruel to himself."

This self-deprecating sentence made Lin Jinyun feel uncomfortable out of thin air. Just as he was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, Jiang Lan asked, "Have you ever been hungry?"

Lin Jinyun thought about it carefully, and since he was a child, he had never been hungry, so he shook his head and said, "No."

"I survived."

Jiang Lan seemed to recall something, sighed lightly, stared at a certain place in the darkness, and spoke eloquently.

"A month ago, two creditors came to collect debts. My father hid before they came. My brother and I stayed at home. The creditors stayed at home when they couldn't find anyone. They were afraid that the two of us would I also ran away, so I locked my brother and I in the room, and gave two steamed buns and a bowl of water for each meal. On the second day, my dad was still missing. They were probably very angry, so they only gave one Steamed buns. Not one for every meal, but one for the whole day.”

"Too much! Absolutely lawless!"

Lin Jinyun never expected that the starvation mentioned by Jiang Lan would be such a process, and he couldn't help feeling angry in his heart, and began to reprimand: "Where is your father? If he runs away, he won't care about your life or death?"

"He came back on the third morning. He borrowed a few hundred dollars from somewhere, and then sent the creditor away temporarily. Maybe he was really scared. After the creditor left, he knelt down and promised us that he would never gamble again. But before The debt is still there, and the creditor threatened to burn down the house if he didn’t pay back the money within a month.”

After Jiang Lan narrated this calmly, she paused, closed her eyes and said, "Others won't let you go just because you're afraid, and they don't have the right to be afraid."

I have no right to be afraid.

These words were full of helplessness and despair. Lin Jinyun's heart suddenly tightened, and a soreness hit her heart. She hated this feeling very much, and wanted to grab something to lean on and lean on.Subconsciously, she stretched out her hand to reach out to her side, and soon touched Jiang Lan's right hand. As soon as she grasped this warm hand, she instantly felt less blocked in her heart.

The heat and strength transmitted from his hands also made Jiang Lan inexplicably weak, like a person who was extremely exhausted suddenly encountered a soft hotbed, and the tiredness and suffering of the whole body and mind found a place to rest temporarily , will involuntarily approach it.She turned around, curled up, and moved closer to Lin Jinyun, but her hand was still held by her.

Seeing her getting closer, Lin Jinyun slowly lifted the other one and pressed it lightly on Jiang Lan's shoulder. She couldn't explain her intention of this move, but her body naturally followed the instructions of her brain to do so.

Seeing that Jiang Lan didn't avoid her hand, Lin Jinyun patted Jiang Lan's shoulder lightly, "It will get better."

"Ah."

The two lay facing each other, and gradually fell asleep listening to each other's slow breathing.
