Chapter 91 Anger
Although what Lin Weiguo said was true, to Lin Weimin it sounded like he was showing off: Which nice guy would add something big to his father-in-law's house every other day?
Today it’s a tricycle, tomorrow it’s a bicycle, so the day after tomorrow won’t we have a refrigerator, a washing machine, and a TV?
Lin Weimin was so jealous, but he couldn't show it, so he could only say sourly: "I didn't expect that your son-in-law is quite capable."
Lin Weiguo laughed: "That's because Luoluo is lucky. We are just following Luoluo and benefiting from her luck."
"Weiguo, I haven't asked you for anything. Look at my family's situation. Can you talk to Xiaoling and let me work in the farm?"
This made Lin Weiguo feel troubled: "Brother, but you can't drive a tricycle, and you can't do the job of slaughtering pigs. I'm afraid it's difficult to ask. If this farm is run by our family, you don't have to ask, and I will agree immediately."
Hearing this, Lin Weimin's face suddenly turned cold: "What's wrong? I just asked you to help me with this one thing, but you didn't agree. Have you forgotten what we promised our mother when she passed away?"
"No, no." Lin Weiguo felt aggrieved and raised his voice.
"Yes, brother, our mother said that we brothers should take good care of each other. If one family is unhappy, we should help the other family. Now that my brother is in trouble, are you just going to stand by and watch?"
Now, Lin Weiguo felt like a huge stone was pressing down on his heart, which was getting heavier and heavier, making it hard for him to breathe. His throat was blocked when he spoke.
Although his brother made such a request, he still couldn't agree to Lin Weimin's request. If this precedent was set, and if someone asked him for help and arranged for them to be housed in the farm, how could he refuse?
After thinking it over, Lin Weiguo decided that he couldn't just agree to his brother's request: "Brother, I don't have the final say on this farm. I'll ask Xiao Ling if his farm is short of people. If not, it's really hard to bring it up."
"You kid, it's just a job quota for a farm, but you're making excuses. I think you don't want me to go to the Ling family's farm at all."
"Oh, my life is so miserable~" As he said that, Lin Weimin began to wail, "Forget it, just pretend that I didn't come to see you today!"
Before leaving, Lin Weimin took the pack of Hongmei cigarettes back from Lin Weiguo. If he couldn't even do this, how could he still want to smoke Hongmei cigarettes? No way.
Lin Weiguo's mouth twitched. He thought his brother really came to reminisce about the past, but he didn't expect that he just couldn't find a job for his brother, and his brother immediately turned hostile...
So he shook his head helplessly. Cheng Yuzhu came over and called Lin Weiguo that it was time to eat. Lin Weiguo sat at the door, his back not as straight as before.
"Yuzhu, do you think I did something wrong? The farm belongs to Xiaoling. I didn't say anything wrong. I don't have the right to make decisions. Even if I am Xiaoling's father-in-law, I didn't pay a penny for the farm. Why should I make decisions for Xiaoling?"
"Weiguo, this isn't your fault. You promised me that you would ask about this matter for him later, so you don't have to blame yourself. If Xiaoling says there's still a job available, it won't be too late for you to come find me then."
After listening to Cheng Yuzhu's comforting words, Lin Weiguo nodded: "You are right, this matter still has to be decided by Xiao Ling."
Lin Weiguo secretly took note of this matter in his heart.
On the way back, Lin Weimin was cursing all the time. Sometimes he said that Lin Weiguo was narrow-minded and held grudges. Sometimes he acted like a brother, saying that Lin Weiguo didn't act like a younger brother at all and that he had to beg his brother to beg him...
He cleaned himself up inside and out. When he returned to his brick house, his two daughters shrank back into the house when they saw him, their big eyes full of fear.
Even though the house was kept clean, Lin Weiguo still felt that his two daughters were useless. Moreover, there were not many things in the house, and even the clothes the two sisters wore were full of holes.
Patches are covering patches, and if you look closely, you can see that the stitches are crooked, and some are even wrong.
If Lin Weimin had not built this brick house with the help of his parents when they were still alive, he would have no place to live now.
"What? Can I, your father, eat you? You are all useless. You can't make money or cook. Look at the daughter of the Wei family. She brings home gold bricks every day. What can you do for a living?"
Lin Weimin became angrier the more he thought about it. He pulled out his belt and hit the two sisters with it.
The sisters' eyes were filled with tears, but Lin Weimin felt even more annoyed: "Women are troublesome. They can't do anything except cry. They are just like your dead mother, useless!"
"Besides giving birth to children, what else can you do? Tomorrow I will find two local rich men for you to marry!"
If Lin Weimin had been trying to be picky before, hoping to find a rich son-in-law, who wouldn't know that the Ling family was rich? But at that time, his two daughters were beaten unconscious by him, and their bodies were covered with scars of all sizes.
If he can't even go out and meet people, how can he be taken out for a blind date?
However, Lin Weiguo's success made Lin Weimin even more anxious to find a rich son-in-law to satisfy his own needs. It would be best if he could be like Ling Zhuoqun, who was rich and stupid and could go to his father-in-law's house to bring gold nuggets every day.
Thinking of this, Lin Weimin felt that he should not beat his daughter again. After the last lesson, if he beat her unconscious again, then when would his good days come?
So Lin Weimin put on a smiling face again and put the belt away.
"Haha, Zhaodi, Pandi, don't blame dad. It's all because your mom passed away too early. She didn't teach you how to cook or sew clothes. These are things women should know. You see, dad is just a rough man and can't teach you these things."
The two sisters huddled together, looking at their father's little face. They felt that the smile was even scarier than the devil, just like the man-eating ghosts they saw in the movies in the village when they were children.
But their father finally stopped beating them, which was good news for the two sisters.
"So, from now on, the two of you will go to your third uncle's house every day and let your aunt teach you how to cook and sew clothes." Lin Weimin was commanding his daughters like an emperor.
The two sisters shed tears and nodded continuously.
They seldom went out, but they still remembered the location of their third aunt's house. In their memory, their third aunt was very kind to them, but her daughter did not like them and always drove them out with a broom.
But they couldn't refuse their father's order.
