Chapter 90 Unkind Invitation
"Brother, do you still remember? When we were little, we liked to lie on the stone pier and watch mom knitting sweaters in the yard." Lin Weiguo seemed to be lost in memories, with an expression of emotion on his face.

"Yes, you were the most mischievous one at the time. You held a fire poker and almost burned a hole in your sweater." Lin Weimin recalled according to Lin Weiguo's words.

Lin Weiguo shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, that's not right. It wasn't me who held the stick at that time, it was you. Then I snatched it from your hand, and you sat on the ground and cried."

"Really?" Lin Weimin recalled for a long time: "Maybe, I don't remember it, I only know that mom was knitting a sweater for you at that time, and you might think that sweater was ugly."

Lin Weiguo continued to shake his head: "No, it was you who said that mom was partial and only knitted sweaters for me but not for you, so you pulled out the fire stick from the stove and prepared to burn the clothes."

"But I only had one sweater every few years. Before that, my brother would have a new sweater every year. At that time, I helped my mother wind the wool. My mother praised me for being sensible and knitted a sweater for me." Lin Weiguo restored the whole incident clearly.

"Yes, is that so? Haha, I didn't expect that when I was little, I was even more mischievous than you." Lin Weimin laughed dryly, "You can remember it for so long? Tell me, do you still hold a grudge against your brother?"

Lin Weiguo shook his head: "No, I always knew that my brother is the elder, and my mother also said at that time that she hoped that we brothers would help each other, after all, we are all family."

When saying these words, Lin Weiguo almost choked up.

"Yes, yes, we are a family. Aren't we still a family now?" Lin Weimin said to save face.

Although he looked down on his younger brother and was prepared to play the family card with him, who knew that his younger brother would take the bait now.

"Brother, you know that my brother got married early and his wife died early. It was too much for him to raise several children by himself. Besides, I really can't take care of these children."

"I thought that when they grow up, I would find them a husband and that would be considered completing my mission." Lin Weimin said as he wiped his eyes with his sleeve and recounted the difficulties he had faced over the years.

"But these little heartless ones are all as stubborn as donkeys. Every time I ask them to meet a matchmaker, they threaten me with knives and ask me not to arrange marriages for them."

"What can I do? Am I really going to watch my daughters die? I can only let them go." Lin Weimin waved his hands in disappointment.

"I am an old man and there is not much work I can do now. What hope do I have for the future?" After saying this, Lin Weimin burst into tears, and almost everyone who heard it was sad and everyone who saw it cried.

Lin Weimin exaggerated his situation and told Lin Weiguo about it. Lin Weiguo instantly felt that his brother was really pitiful. Not only did he have to take care of the marriages of his two children, but he also had to worry about his survival all day long.

Although their family had a hard life before, fortunately Xiaosong and Xiaomo were both obedient children. Although Xiaoge was a little willful, she never made their family feel bad.

Although Xiaoge did some things that made the old couple sad after she realized that she was no longer their biological daughter, Luoluo still cared about them very much.

Not only did she not blame them, she even brought her fiancé to visit them. Isn't that right? The bicycles, tricycles, and even the ribs and chicken in the house were all brought back by Ling Zhuoqun...

Comparing his brother's family situation, Lin Weiguo felt that his family was much better off. Of course, the person they should thank and take care of the most was Li Luo. Without Li Luo, they wouldn't be where they are now, and they would even have to shoulder the 5,000 yuan debt. Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Weimin stuffed a bag of Hongmei into Lin Weiguo's hand and said, "Weiguo, I don't have any great abilities. My only wish is to find two good sons-in-law and marry off your two daughters in a grand manner."

Lin Weiguo deeply agreed with Lin Weimin's words. Aren't the efforts of the older generation for the better life of the next generation? He was originally worried that Xiaoge and Luoluo would not marry well.

But now, seeing the smile on Luoluo's face every day, the original worry has turned into deep blessings. Moreover, I heard that Xiaoge is now engaged, and the other party is the son of a high-ranking official who is well-matched with her. It can be said that this is a good marriage.

Now they are his nieces... Although Lin Weiguo had some complaints about his brother, he felt sorry for the children. Sometimes when he saw them on the street, the two children would be timid and dare not say hello to him.

He would sometimes give them some vegetables to eat, and the two children would timidly say "thank you."

Looking at the two children's thin appearance, Lin Weiguo felt helpless. After all, his own children were still suffering.

So when Xiaoge said that they didn't take good care of her, they had no way to refute it. Their family was poor from the root, and they were trying to change it, but the disease in their bodies did not let them go and their lives were still in dire straits...

Thinking of this, Lin Weiguo took Lin Weimin's cigarette and said, "Brother, bring the two children over for dinner tonight. We stewed chicken and fried pork ribs at home today."

Lin Weimin waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no need, I will go back and cook for the children later. Alas, I don't have a wife at home. The children have grown up without anyone teaching them how to cook. How are they going to live in the future?"

As he spoke, Lin Weimin looked at Lin Weiguo with pitiful eyes again.

Lin Weiguo knew that the matter was not simple, but he didn't know what Lin Weimin was up to, so he could only wait quietly for Lin Weimin to continue speaking.

But Lin Weimin was also waiting for Lin Weiguo to speak. After all, he couldn't just come up and say that he wanted to ask his brother for money, right?
After waiting for a long time, there was only silence between the two.

Lin Weimin finally couldn't help himself: "Hey, Weiguo, I heard that you are working in the Ling family's farm now? And your sister-in-law has gone to the town to sell vegetables?"

Lin Weiguo nodded: "I just went there. Xiaoling's farm was short of someone, so I went there to help. It's free."

When Lin Weimin heard that it was free, he jumped up immediately.

She was very angry, as if she was speaking up for her brother: "Isn't Xiao Ling going to get engaged to our Luo Luo? What's going on? Is the farm failing? Can't even pay my father-in-law's salary?"

Lin Weiguo quickly shook his head: "No, that's not the case. I don't want this salary. Xiao Ling has offered me a salary of 50 yuan a month, but I am just filling in for the job. I don't know how long I will have to do it."

"And Xiao Ling also bought a bicycle for Xiao Song. I feel unworthy of receiving the salary." Lin Weiguo explained on behalf of Ling Zhuoqun.
