The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 115 "Top-Tier Script"

Aunt Song didn't pay any attention.

She can use her private savings however she wants. She only has one daughter, Xiangxiang, so she has to consider her feelings.

The atmosphere was stagnant.

The old man rushed to his son's house and immediately asked, "Does Xiangxiang have a boyfriend?"

Aunt Song perked up, adopting a fighting stance, "Yes, it's her cousin's colleague's younger brother!"

She thought her father-in-law would say something unpleasant, but to her surprise, the stubborn old man was very happy for his daughter.

He smiled, revealing his large yellow teeth.

"Good, good." Old Yuan said "good" twice. "Let's see who dares to say that my granddaughter is unwanted and will stay at home as an old maid for the rest of her life."

After saying that, he quickly left to brag to his old buddies.

Aunt Song: "..."

Meanwhile, news of Yuan Xiang's relationship with a man from the city reached the Huang family, who had previously broken off their engagement with the Yuan family.

Old Mrs. Huang sat there with a cold face, not saying a word for a long time. When she thought of the villagers' jokes about her, her expression became distorted.

“Mother, everyone outside is laughing at our family, saying we picked up a sesame seed but lost a watermelon, and some even say we’re materialistic and deserve to be humiliated. Mother, we can’t let them say that; we have to find a way to shut them up,” said Huang’s eldest daughter-in-law.

Old Woman Huang roared, her voice sharp and piercing, "I didn't know they were saying such nasty things!"

"So tell me what to do!"

Huang's eldest daughter-in-law was startled and patted her chest, saying, "If my brother-in-law gets a permanent position and becomes a real city dweller, who would dare to gossip about our family? They would definitely come to our house to ask for advice."

As the scenes described by her eldest daughter-in-law flashed through Huang Pozi's mind, a hearty smile spread across her face.

Thinking about reality, he frowned again, "Xiaokang said that getting a permanent position is very difficult and takes time."

My son told me that someone at the factory was targeting him and had blocked his chance to become a permanent employee. His father-in-law's family was trying to find a way to get him the job; if things went smoothly, he could get it, but if not, he would have to wait.

I don't know who's been targeting her son because they can't stand seeing others succeed. Aren't they afraid of tripping and falling to their deaths?

Uncle Song, who was drinking tea at home, suddenly sneezed. Who scolded him?
"Let him pester his wife a little longer," said Huang's eldest daughter-in-law.

Old Mrs. Huang was reluctant to spend money on gifts, thinking that it would be best to achieve her goal through the family in the county, but she said, "Stop talking nonsense, I know what I'm doing."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Huang family pursed her lips, telling her to shut up and not to ask her questions if she was so capable.

Old Mrs. Huang spat at each of her neighbors, saying fiercely, "Laugh all you want, when I become a well-off worker, I'll have my turn to laugh back."

Imagining that when her youngest son becomes a worker, she won't have to work and can stay home doing housework and enjoying a life of leisure, Old Mrs. Huang smiled with wrinkles all over her face.

Little did she know that with Uncle Song's intervention, Huang Kang's chances of getting a permanent position were probably a long way off, and the Huang family was still making a lot of foolish mistakes.

Because Yuan Xiang started dating a worker, there was less gossip about her in the village. Instead, people started talking about the Huang family, and the gossip was just as harsh as what they had said about the Yuan family before.

Upon hearing this, the Yuan family felt a surge of joy, finally dispelling the gloom that had previously hung over them.

Then there was the meat and candy that the Lin family and Yuan Xiang brought back. The whole family was very happy. After eating the meat and receiving the candy, Yuan's second sister-in-law stopped putting on a show.

……

The Lin family was unaware of the Yuan family's affairs.

At this time, Lin Zhao had not yet left her parents' home. She secretly told her parents that she had acquired a courtyard house in the county.

After Lin Heling inquired about the reason and learned the name on the land and property ownership certificate, her eyes showed a strange look, "Lin Jiu?"

"Does Father know him?" Lin Zhao stared at him.

Song Xiwei gently patted her head, "Are you silly? Your father's alias used to be Lin Jiu."

"Huh...?" A series of questions slowly appeared above Lin Zhao's head, followed by a startled exclamation: "That courtyard belongs to my father?!"

"I do not know how?"

"Father, how many more secrets do you still have that I don't know?"

Lin Heling was amused by his daughter.

He shrugged, tapping his head lightly with his long, slender fingers. "I don't know either. You know, my memory is returning piecemeal, and there are some things I don't even know."

Lin Zhao rested her chin on her hand. "Father, you're not from some prestigious family, are you?"

Lin Heling surprisingly didn't deny it. "It's possible. Even if you're not from a prestigious family, you're still quite good. I remember when I was little, the place I lived in had many courtyards, gardens full of flowers, a big fountain in front of the gate, a large family, and even cars..."

"A Western-style house?" Lin Zhao genuinely felt that his father had gotten the best script and was really lucky.

"Yes." Lin Heling nodded.

"Did you think of anything else, like your family?" Lin Zhao asked.

Lin Heling said, "No."

He's gotten used to not being able to remember it for so many years. He used to get anxious and worried, but now he's very calm.

Lin Zhao comforted him, "Dad, didn't you say the medicine I sent would work? Maybe you'll remember it after you finish drinking it."

"I hope so," Lin Heling sighed inwardly.

So many years have passed, and he doesn't know how his family is doing. Especially now that the situation is so bad, he feels that the Lin family is in grave danger.

Lin Zhao changed the subject, "Dad, since you have a courtyard in the county, how come I've never heard of it?"

Lin Heling put aside his distracting thoughts and smiled, "Back then... I fled in a hurry because of some things, and forgot to bring my supporting documents. Then I fell ill and a lot of things happened. By the time I settled down, it was too late."

Back then, social order was really chaotic, and real estate wasn't that important.

"You're really lucky; you actually managed to get the land and property ownership certificate for that yard."

Lin Heling chuckled, "I was talking to your mother about that courtyard a few days ago, wondering who it had become. I didn't expect it hadn't been taken away."

“Zhaozhao, once you find the certificate, the yard is yours. It’s good to have a house in the county. If you don’t want to go back to the brigade one day, you’ll have a place to rest.”

It's possible to stay at Zhao Zhao's maternal uncle's place, but the Song family's living conditions are limited, and with their two sons growing up, it's not so convenient.

Lin Zhao said that she found the land and property ownership certificate in a book she picked up at a recycling station, and that's why Lin Heling said it.

Before Lin Zhao could speak, Lin Heling continued, "When I recall the past and the country's social order returns to normal, I think what I can leave to you siblings will far exceed what you have now. At that time, my Zhao Zhao will also be able to settle in a big city and live a convenient and comfortable life."

Lin Zhao beamed, "My parents have already given me so much."

She was referring to the gold bars and other treasures her parents had asked her to bring back last time.

"This is nothing." Lin Heling patted his precious daughter's head. "Good parents should ensure that their children have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

When he mentioned the second half of the sentence, he was momentarily lost in thought. A handsome, smiling face flashed through his mind, showing a little boy being carried on his shoulder and being rocked back and forth, as if he had said something like that.

That is……

Father?

For some reason, Lin Heling was quite certain.

Lin Zhao, unaware of her father's thoughts, covered her mouth and laughed, "According to you, Father, then countless fathers are all unqualified."

Lin Heling snapped out of her reverie and said calmly, "This is our Lin family's rule, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

“Your grandfather said that. He told me that.”

Song Xi asked in surprise, "You're thinking about your family?"

"Yes, just now, a scene suddenly appeared in my mind." Lin Heling didn't hide anything.

Song Xiwei said, "That's good. I'll continue drawing tonight."

"Dad, what does my grandpa look like?" Lin Zhao asked curiously. This was the first time she had ever heard about her grandfather from her father.

The word "grandfather" was such a foreign word to her.

“Your grandfather…” Lin Heling thought of the figure that flashed through her mind and smiled, “Your grandfather was handsome and dignified. He was very tall and his smile was very infectious. I look about five parts like him.”

"That's all I can think of. Don't ask anymore."

Lin Zhao was somewhat disappointed. "I think my grandfather must be very good. If my grandfather had watched me grow up, he would definitely have spoiled me rotten."

She thought she was pretty, had a good personality, and a sweet tongue, making her very popular with elders. She was sure her grandfather would like her.

Lin Heling agreed wholeheartedly, "It's not just being pampered to the heavens, it's about giving them the stars but not the moon."

The thought that his daughter was all grown up and he had never met any of his relatives made Lin Heling feel guilty towards her.

"Zhaozhao, Dad will try his best to remember soon so that you can have grandparents."

Lin Zhao was both amused and exasperated. "Dad, it's not up to you to decide. Let's not rush things and recover slowly."

Song Xiwei felt that these words sounded like they were being used to coax her eldest and second children, and her smile was helpless.

Seeing that the father and son were getting further and further away from each other, she said, "Zhaozhao, isn't that courtyard in the county quite dilapidated? What are your plans?"

"I want to make some repairs so I can have a temporary place to stay," Lin Zhao said.

Song Xiwei got up, walked to the cabinet, took out a few ten-yuan bills, and stuffed them into her daughter's hand. "Give this money to your uncle. Let him find someone to fix it. Your uncle is reliable. You don't need to worry about it after handing it over to him. It'll be easy for you."

“I have money,” Lin Zhao refused.

Song Xiwei forcefully stuffed it into her bag, saying, "Just take it. We just caught a wild boar the day before yesterday and sold it. We have money at home."

Old Lin's health has improved, and he no longer needs to buy expensive medicine, so the family can save money.

"Okay, I'll accept it." Lin Zhao didn't refuse anymore, thinking that she would exchange it for good things to send to her parents.

Song Xiwei's expression relaxed, and she instructed, "Go find your uncle. Don't try to do it yourself. Leave the professional work to the professionals. Repairing the yard is tiring. Your father and I would rather spend money than let you suffer without any effort."

Lin Heling nodded.

In his eyes, problems that can be solved with money are not big problems.

"Yes, yes, I'll listen to my parents." Lin Zhao felt that there was a reason why she was so lazy. Look at her parents, they hadn't done much, but they had already provided her with money and solutions.

To be honest, I feel really happy inside.

"Zhaozhao, are you eating at home?" Song Xiwei asked, thinking that she should cook.

Lin Zhao thought about how her older brothers were still at the harvest brigade, waiting for her bicycle, and said, "I'll go back to eat."

"The pomegranates on the tree are ripe. Pick some for Da Zai and Er Zai. I also hunted a pheasant; you can take it back and make soup later," Song Xiwei said.

As she spoke, she got up and went to the kitchen, picked out a pheasant, found a hemp rope, tied the pheasant's legs together, and hung it on the front of the cart.

The chicken was flapping its wings vigorously, clearly indicating it was alive.

Lin Zhao went out of the house and unceremoniously picked pomegranates, choosing the reddest ones.

There was a big, red thing that she couldn't reach, and she didn't want to stand on a stool, so she turned to her father for help, "Dad, please help me."

Lin Heling was just waiting for his daughter to softly ask him for help. He walked over with a smile, stretched out his long arm, and took what Zhaozhao wanted.

He placed the pomegranate in the small basket and asked gently, "Which one do you want?"

Lin Zhao stretched her hand towards the right branch, "I want both of the reddest ones."

The pomegranate tree in the Lin family's courtyard has been planted for many years. It grows very beautifully and bears a lot of pomegranates every year.

"It's a pity I didn't bring my camera, otherwise I would have taken some photos," Lin Zhao said regretfully.

Lin Heling was very interested and said, "Bring it next time, and take more pictures of me and my mother."

"Okay," Lin Zhao readily agreed.

Sure enough, her dad was a super forward-thinking person. While other grandfathers were still worried about wasting money, he had already started asking to take pictures.

Having harvested enough pomegranates, Lin Zhao decided to leave.

Before leaving, remembering the joke that the Liu family had made in the village, she asked curiously, "Mom, what happened with the Liu family? Tell me about it, I want to hear it."

Song Xiwei: "..."

Looking into her daughter's bright, dark eyes, she recounted the Liu family's affairs in a straightforward manner.

Lin Zhao didn't mind her mother's flat and uneventful storytelling at all. After finishing the whole melon, she muttered to herself, "Serves her right."

This is just interest!
If she had the chance, she would make the Liu family taste the suffering that Da Dan and the others had endured.

As the bicycle passed by the Liu family's house, Lin Zhao didn't forget to flash a cold, villainous smile.

The Liu family: Ughhhhh, I'm so angry!!
Lin Zhao felt a sense of satisfaction seeing the Liu family members so angry they were practically spitting fire.

It's a bit childish, but if it can annoy people, then it's useful.

……

When Lin Zhao returned to the brigade, he found that the number of people moving around the village had decreased by half, which made him uneasy.

In general, this happens when something exciting happens somewhere, and all the villagers flock there.

Is it a settlement for educated youth?

He returned home full of doubts, only to find no one there.

She was very curious, so she went back inside to get half a bag of cat ear snacks, and while eating them, she slowly went to find someone.

Wang Chunhua saw Lin Zhao and shouted, "Big Mom, your mother-in-law and the others are watching the commotion by the river. Maodan'er was pushed into the river by Yaozu, and everyone has run over there."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao quickened his pace, first walking briskly, and then running.

My mind kept replaying the "Drowning Rescue Method".

There seems to be a plot in the original book that says that in the last few minutes before someone is drowning and suffocating, artificial respiration can revive them.

There were many people by the river.

Upon seeing Lin Zhao, the villagers made way for her to walk inside.

Someone said, "Cheng Huai's family, your husband is this one." She gave a thumbs up.

"I never thought that someone could be saved after drowning. Cheng Huai is amazing."

"That little cat is lucky. He was lucky to have Cheng Huai home, otherwise he would be dead today."

"Thanks to Erzai, if Erzai hadn't seen Maodan fall into the river and shouted to the villagers, Maodan would have been blown away by the water long ago."

"What do you mean, fell into the river? Cat Egg was pushed in by the Wang family's golden egg!"

……

The crowd was talking loudly, and Lin Zhao, piecing together the events leading up to Maodan falling into the river, frowned.

Wang Yaozu needs to be educated!

She pushed her way to the front of the crowd.

The little cat, soaking wet, nestled in the arms of an old woman with red eyes. The child, who was full of energy yesterday, now had pale lips and looked weak, like a kitten that had been splashed with water.

"Cat Egg?" Lin Zhao called out.

Cat Egg opened its eyes, its clear childish voice hoarse, "Aunt Lin."

As if sensing Lin Zhao's concern, he forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. I'll be fine after a nap. I'll learn to cook from Auntie again tomorrow."
