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

Chapter 232 "You've Got It Spoiled"

When Qiu Lian returned home, she realized that her younger brother's visit to pick her up was a trap.

They had just entered the courtyard.

The strange old man stared at her, and his gaze made her extremely uncomfortable.

She frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, "Who is this? Why is he staring at people in our house? It's so annoying."

Qiu Lian's younger brother was afraid that the mountain man would be angry and that he would miss out on the fifty dollars, so he quickly put on a smiling face to apologize.

The old man laughed heartily, a piece of vegetable stuck to his yellow teeth, and the sour smell could be smelled from a distance.

"It's okay, it's good to be capable. Capable people can protect the home, and I like capable people." He was very frivolous and greasy.

Qiu Lian sensed something was wrong and spat, "Who cares if you like it!"

She looked at her younger brother and asked, "Who's this?"

The person who was asked the question chuckled, "Who else could it be but your husband? Sis, I'm good to you, aren't I? I was worried you wouldn't be able to get married, so I specially found him for you."

Qiu Lian suddenly looked at the vulgar and filthy man, a look of disgust flashing in her eyes.

"I do not want."

Yamato's smile froze as his clothes became so greasy that their original color was no longer visible, and his face revealed undisguised malice.

"Don't want to? That's not up to you." He reached out and grabbed Qiu Lian's arm, his strength so great that no matter how much Qiu Lian struggled, it was useless.

“Your brother from your mother’s side has ‘married’ you to me. From today onwards, you are my wife, and I won’t allow you to say no! Behave yourself and give me a son, and you’ll have food to eat. If you dare to be disobedient… heh, I have plenty of ways to deal with you.”

Qiu Lian realized she couldn't break free from the lewd man's grasp, so she turned to her parents for help.

"Father, Mother, I don't want to marry this man!"

Knowing he couldn't do without some leverage, he quickly explained his value, "I can do laundry and cook, and I can earn work points in the fields. I won't just freeload, Mom..."

Knowing that her mother had little affection for her, she looked at Old Lady Qiu with despair and sorrow.

Grandma Qiu looked at her son and met his unmoved eyes, knowing that there was no room for negotiation.

“I’m not in charge of the household, so your brother will handle things in our family,” she said. “There are good men in the mountains too. Your man was willing to spend fifty yuan to marry you, so he’ll treat you well. Don’t make a fuss, go with him, and don’t come back!”

After saying this, Old Lady Qiu turned and darted into the house.

Qiulian's eyes are about to split.

"Mother, you can't do this to me!"

She lunged forward, and Yamato wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tightly in his embrace. His scent filled her nostrils, and Qiulian almost vomited.

A smile of enjoyment spread across the man's dark face. The girls down the mountain were indeed soft, just a bit dark-skinned and thin.

It's ok.

As long as I can give birth, anything else is fine.

"Woman, stop making a fuss. The road up the mountain is long, and I don't want to travel at night. What if we run into wolves..." he threatened, only halfway through his sentence.

Wolf……?
Qiu Lian's expression changed slightly, and she struggled even more violently. She found an opportunity and bit the man's arm. While he was in pain, she ran towards the door.

With only half a meter left to the door, Qiu Lian's eyes lit up.

In an instant, I felt a jolt at the back of my neck, and my body went limp and I fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

She looked up slowly and met her younger brother's calculating eyes.

"...I knew you wouldn't behave." The young man tossed aside the stick in his hand, quite pleased with his handiwork.

Qiu Lian's eyes were bloodshot.

Yamato walked over, his straw sandals pressing down on her feet, gradually increasing the pressure.

Within seconds, Qiu Lian's face turned deathly pale with pain.

After reprimanding her, Yamato hoisted her onto his shoulder, ignored the Aki family, and strode away.

When the man left Qiu's house, some people in the village saw him doing so, and soon the news spread throughout the village and quickly reached other brigades.

"The Qiu family's daughter has married into the mountains."

"The mountain dwellers have no land, they're so poor even dogs wouldn't bother with them, what were those two Qiu family thinking?"

"Oh dear, Qiu Lian's reputation is ruined, and she's not hardworking. What family would want a daughter-in-law like her? Apart from mountain households, she won't be able to remarry even if she wanted to."

"Those two poor children of the Lin family, how difficult it is for children without a mother! If their father remarries, their situation will be even more difficult. Alas, the sins committed by adults are always suffered by the children."

Those who know the inside story say, "Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng aren't suffering at all. The Lin family treats them very well. I think the two girls are two sizes bigger than when Qiulian was around, and they're more lively. Now that their father has a bright future, their future will be bright!"

Everyone was silent.

"So, Qiu Lian picked up a sesame seed but lost a watermelon. What do you think she was after?"

Who knows?

The news of Qiu Lian's "remarriage" reached the Dongfeng Brigade.

At this moment, Lin Shisheng had just returned home.

He appeared in front of the Lin family's gate, looking like a scavenger.

None of the Lin family children recognized him; they thought he was a refugee. Da Dan even brought him a ladle of water.

"Uncle, where did you get this? Drink some water, it's cooled boiled water. If you need more, I'll pour you more. We don't have anything else at home, but we have plenty of water."

Lin Shisheng was indeed thirsty, so he grabbed the ladle and gulped down the water.

He quickly finished the ladle of water.

Breathe a long sigh of relief.

"I'm alive!!" he exclaimed.

That voice... sounds so familiar.

"Father?" Lin Zheng called out.

She stared at the man at the door with a full beard and long hair that covered his eyebrows and eyes, wanting to recognize him but not daring to.

Is it Dad?
Big Egg looked at the bearded man in slow motion, measuring his expression and observing his posture with his eyes.

A moment later, a surprised voice exclaimed, "Second Uncle? It's Second Uncle!!"

The first shout was uncertain, but the second shout was full of energy.

Lin Shisheng patted his head, "You brat, you didn't recognize me just now? It hasn't been that long and you don't even recognize me anymore!"

Da Dan wasn't embarrassed at all, and chuckled, "Second Uncle, you have a full beard and your hair is covering your eyes. I've never seen this outfit before, so it's normal that I don't recognize you."

Lin Shisheng: "..."

He took two steps forward and stood in front of the big egg. "Look closely, haven't you seen this outfit before?"

Lin Shisheng said irritably, "I was wearing this when I left."

It's just a little dirty!

He scoffed, "Such a young age, and your eyesight is already bad."

Big Egg took two steps back and couldn't help but say, "Second Uncle, have you not changed your clothes? You smell bad."

The sound was quite loud.

Lin Shisheng walked home and, finding a moment to say, "Did you think going on a ride was a game? It was torture. We didn't get a single hot meal the whole way, and we only slept half-heartedly. We're just lucky to be back safely. Who cares if we smell bad?!"

Upon hearing that his second uncle was not eating or sleeping well, Da Dan quickly walked towards the kitchen. "Second Uncle, I'll go boil some water. You can take a bath first. Leave your clothes there too. Er Dan and I will wash them later."

Lin Xuan felt sorry for her father and said, "There are still some noodles that my aunt sent. I'll go cook them and add an egg."

Unlike other families, the Lin family kept a close eye on the eggs, repeating the instructions at least three times a day to prepare something nice for those returning from outings. Everyone received this treatment, and no one complained.

"Okay, I really miss this hot meal." Lin Shisheng put down the things he brought back, plopped down on his father's recliner, leaned his head back, and let out a long sigh.

"It feels so good to be home!"

Lin Zheng brought over a washbasin. "Dad, wash your face first. When Grandpa and Grandma come back, they'll complain that you're dirty."

Lin Shisheng obediently sat up, washed his hands and face with the water his daughter brought him, and his mind became much clearer.

"How were you doing at home while I was away?" he asked with concern.

“That’s great,” Zhengzheng said with a smile.

Xi Bao patted her little chest, radiating enthusiasm, "With me and my brothers here, no one will bully Sister Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng."

"Thanks to you all, otherwise I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving them at home." Lin Shisheng grinned, revealing a bright white smile, giving Xibao the reaction she wanted.

The little girl's smile widened. "Second Uncle, my dad brought us back a few days ago... a cake made by my aunt, and two roast ducks. It's a pity you weren't here; if you were, you could have eaten them!" Xi Bao felt sorry for her second uncle.

Lin Shisheng's focus was on this: "The cake your aunt made?"

Damn it, I missed it.

pissed off.

“Yes, Auntie made it for Yu Bao and Heng Bao for their birthdays. Second Uncle, do you remember?” Xi Bao reminded her.

"Second Uncle, did you buy them gifts?" Her clear, bright black eyes glanced at the things Lin Shisheng had brought back.

“You haven’t been back for a long time. If you forget their birthdays, Yu Bao will be disappointed and Heng Bao will be angry.”

How could Lin Shisheng forget?

I remember it every year.

In the past, when there were few ways to make money, we would give away eggs or chicken legs as gifts. Now that I've joined the transportation team, how could I forget?

“I remember,” he said.

Upon hearing this, Xi Bao nodded like a little adult.

She leaned closer and asked with a grin, "Second Uncle, is there a gift for me?"

As she spoke, her bright, star-like black eyes fluttered.

"Yes, we have them all." Lin Shisheng pinched his niece's cheek.

He watched Xibao and the two eggs grow up; they were almost like his own children.

Xi Bao wanted to ask what it was, but felt a prickly sensation on her face. She grabbed her second uncle's hand and saw the new calluses on it, as well as small cuts from something.

The little girl's eyes turned serious.

With a pout and a trembling voice, she said, "Second Uncle, are you tired from driving? If you are, why don't we quit?"

Lin Shisheng's heart softened. "It's not tiring. It's not as tiring as working in the fields."

Xi Bao picked wheat, and it was very tiring; she was so tired that she couldn't straighten her back.

Her little face was scrunched up, as if she was thinking about some important life matter.

She sighed, "Working in the fields is tiring, working in the transport team is tiring, what job isn't tiring? Isn't being a sales clerk tiring?"

"No job is easy, it's just that it's relatively easier," Lin Shisheng said.

After hesitating for a moment, Xi Bao puffed out her cheeks, as if she had made a decision.

"I won't accept any more gifts from my aunt." She said it with such difficulty, showing how painful it was for her to say these words.

Lin Shisheng couldn't help but laugh.

“If you don’t accept her, your aunt will feel that you are being distant with her, and that’s why she’s unhappy.”

Not wanting to upset her aunt, Xi Bao said with some difficulty, "Then I'll accept it."

She rested her chin on her right hand, mimicking the old women in the village, saying, "It's hard to say, it's difficult no matter what."

Lin Shisheng: "..."

Before he could speak, Xi Bao gave him a bright smile and asked mischievously, "Second Uncle, do you think my imitation is good?"

"……picture."

After Lin Shisheng took a shower and shaved his beard, everyone could see that he had lost weight.

Lin Xuan served the noodles at the right time.

She said, "Dad, eat it while it's hot."

Lin Shisheng smiled at his daughter, then started eating noodles. He was so hungry that his eating manners weren't very good, but no one cared.

After he finished eating, he felt like he had come back to life.

"Phew! I've really had my fill of those dry steamed buns on this trip."

Big Egg asked, "Can't we eat at a state-run restaurant?"

"Where are the state-run restaurants? We travel through the middle of nowhere, with no villages or shops in sight. We stop wherever we can to rest, but we can't even sleep soundly for fear of our goods being stolen... The transport team earns a lot, but it's really tiring." Seeing the children's curiosity, Lin Shisheng told them what he could.

For example, he didn't mention a word about taking a knife for someone.

"Dad, Mom, I'm getting a permanent position next month," Lin Shisheng shared the good news with his family.

Song Xiwei had noticed earlier that the second brother's arm was stiff, and upon hearing his words, she immediately connected the dots.

"Are you alright?" she asked with concern, using a question the children couldn't understand.

Lin Shisheng shook his injured arm, his voice tinged with laughter, "It's nothing!"

Song Xi frowned slightly.

The young man sat down obediently.

Lin Heling patted his wife's shoulder lightly, then looked at his second son, "Since you're getting a permanent position, then do your job well. Don't do anything you shouldn't be doing, and be careful."

“I know,” Lin Shisheng said solemnly.

The Lin couple didn't say anything more.

Big Egg exclaimed excitedly, "Second Uncle's going to be a driver?!?!"

"Not yet, I'll become a driver in a few months," Lin Shisheng said, adding that he was still getting familiar with the job.

Big Egg said, "That's still amazing! Second Uncle, when Hengbao finds out you're driving a big truck before him, he'll be green with envy."

Lin Shisheng raised his chin.

That's what he thought too!
Just then, a young man from the village who had a good relationship with Lin Shisheng came looking for them.

"Shengzi, I heard you're back, so I came to talk to you."

Lin Shisheng walked outside, saying, "Let's talk outside. My family needs to rest later."

"to make."

The two young men walked down the mountain, and while they talked, they also managed to gather some firewood.

The young man first asked Lin Shisheng what it was like outside. Lin Shisheng told him whatever came to mind, sharing his observations and experiences.

After listening.

A look of reverie appeared on the other person's dark face.

"You've finally made it out of the woods, much better than digging in the ground! Keep up the good work, and once you've made a name for yourself, your brothers will be waiting for you to help them out," he said half-jokingly.

But unexpectedly, the opportunity actually came.

"For the next two months, the transport team needs temporary workers to move goods. It's a two-month job, very tiring, and doesn't pay much. Are you interested in doing it?" Lin Shisheng asked.

This was actually a "reward" for his injured arm.

There were three spots: one for his childhood friend from the village, and one for the two good brothers who helped him get a divorce.

"Of course I want to! Only a fool wouldn't!" The young man was beaming with excitement as he helped Lin Shisheng bundle the firewood. "Don't bother, I'll gather it. I'll take care of all your firewood this winter!"

Lin Shisheng: "..."

"There's no need," he said speechlessly.

"Yes, yes," the young man said. "You think of me when it comes to making money, so I'll help you gather some firewood, it's only right."

He put his arm around Lin Shisheng's shoulder and slapped him a few times, saying, "Thanks, brother."

"You're welcome." Lin Shisheng waved his hand. "Like I said, if my older brother and I aren't home, could you please keep an eye on my place?"

The young man patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! With me here, I guarantee that no one in your family will be missing a single hair."

After recounting the good news, he told Lin Shisheng about the Qiu family.

Lin Shisheng frowned when he learned that Qiu Lian had returned.

Before he could figure out what he was thinking, he heard that Qiu Lian had been "married off" to a mountain village by the Qiu family. A complicated look flashed in his eyes.

I have no other emotions, just a feeling of melancholy.

That woman considered her family home as her fallback plan and valued the Qiu family more than her own family. Now that she's ended up like this, I wonder if she regrets it?

Whether she regrets it or not, it has nothing to do with him or his two daughters anymore.

He hoped that woman would never appear again.

Her appearance will only fuel new rumors and gossip.
