Chapter 136 The concubine 6
Lin Hui ignored Wang Liu's ugly face and troubled expression. She finished her meal slowly and took the dishes into the kitchen to clean up.
After the kitchen was tidied up and Mrs. Wang Liu was about to go out again, Lin Hui stopped her in time.
Mrs. Wang Liu looked at Lin Hui doubtfully, and saw that she hesitated and whispered the doctor's advice.
"Mother-in-law, Dr. Liu said that my eyes are a little serious. If I don't take medicine and rest in time, I won't be able to see clearly for a long time, and I won't be able to live anymore." Lin Hui imitated the original owner's expression and said shyly.
"Didn't I already give you money to take the medicine? What else are you talking to me about?" Wang Liu interrupted her impatiently.
"Old Doctor Liu said that I'd better not do any work in the near future and let my eyes rest for a few days." Lin Hui said this.
"What, how many days are you going to be unable to work?" Mrs. Wang Liu almost jumped up, "Then you have to sit around and eat free rice every day!"
Rice? As soon as Ms. Wang Liu finished her meal all day long, all the people in the east and west houses disappeared, and she didn’t know who was eating for free in this house!
Lin Hui really didn't know what to say, so she lowered her head and remained silent.
Seeing her daughter-in-law's dead look again, Mrs. Wang Liu stared at her suspiciously for a while, a little suspicious that her daughter-in-law said this just to avoid being lazy.
But after thinking about Lin Hui's past performance, he rejected the idea.
This daughter-in-law is the most honest. In the past, she would have suspected that she would hide her wages secretly. She followed her several times when she went to collect her wages. She also inquired in private and found out that the amount was indeed consistent with the amount she handed over. The daughter-in-law did not hide anything.
She didn't even tell lies about big things like money. She would never lie and not work because she was lazy. She must have really been told by the doctor.
After Mrs. Wang Liu figured it out, there was no other way, so she could only ask helplessly: "Did the doctor say how many days of rest?"
"At least ten days." Lin Hui replied.
Mrs. Wang Liu couldn't help but frowned. Ten days is not a short time. You can embroider a lot of things!
But when he thought that if Lin's eyes could no longer see clearly, the loss would be even greater, so he could only hold his nose and admit it, and went out unhappy.
Alas, she is a good mother-in-law who is considerate of her daughter-in-law!
So, when she visited Sister-in-law Zhou's house on West Street in the afternoon, Mrs. Wang Liu immediately publicized her kind deeds.
Sister-in-law Zhou, of course, praised Wang Liu's benevolence and love for her daughter-in-law.
But Sister-in-law Zhou couldn't help but complain in her heart: Mrs. Lin has not been seen out for more than ten years after marrying into the Wang family. Apart from giving birth to children, she does embroidery at home every day. It is because of this that she suffers from bad luck at such a young age. It would be too cruel to refuse to let people rest even if their eyes are damaged!
Although Sister-in-law Zhou knew how pitiful Mrs. Lin was, she had few opportunities to meet Mrs. Lin and had little friendship. Instead, she had more contacts with Mrs. Wang and Liu.
In addition, Mrs. Wang Liu came to her house with a bag of melon seeds, and the two of them were just eating melon seeds and chatting. She was short-tempered after eating melon seeds, so how could she have the nerve to say something wrong about them.
So, a bunch of nice words came out of Sister-in-law Zhou's mouth as if they were free, and they were all praising how talented Wang Liu's son was and how his grandson could read. Wang Liu would be even more convinced by these words in the future. Mrs. Wang Liu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.
Lin Hui made medicine for herself at home openly. Of course, some of the medicinal ingredients had been replaced by those in her space, which would be more effective.
She also took some other medicinal materials from the space and boiled some water in another clay pot. After boiling, she put her eyes up and did a simple fumigation, which was also beneficial to the recovery of her eyes.
The little girl watched Lin Hui do all this curiously, and Lin Hui talked to her from time to time, telling her what she was doing.
Yao Niang didn't say anything, she just pricked up her ears and listened silently.
After doing this, Lin Hui went back to the room and started to organize things. She saw that there were only a few original clothes in the closet, and most of them were made of coarse cloth. Most of them had faded after washing, and some places had been cleverly patched up. A few patches.
The only two pieces of fine cotton clothes in the cabinet seemed to have been purchased for a long time. Although it was obvious that they were worn with care, they were still worn out in many places.
Lin Hui opened her original dowry, which contained only a thin silver hairpin, a pair of small silver earrings, and a few homemade cloth flowers.
These few pieces of jewelry were bought by the Wang family after Wang Xiuyuan was admitted to the Tongsheng School. They saw that Lin Huiniang's head and ears were bald and looked ugly, so they were afraid that she would be said to be too shabby when she went out.
In fact, Lin Huiniang is not without jewelry. Before she got married, she was able to take care of her own work, and her income was acceptable. It was also a time when girls loved beauty, so how could she not buy herself a few pieces of jewelry!
After all, her parents let her wear these pieces of jewelry when she got married, and they didn't deprive her of them.
Unfortunately, when she married Wang Xiuyuan, it was also the most difficult time for the Wang family. The Wang family owed a lot of foreign debt due to Wang Liu's illness, and the dowry for marrying her was also borrowed from Wang Xiuyuan and his colleagues. Therefore, she found out about this after she got married. As a result, he pawned one of his silver bracelets to pay off the debt.
Later, because the Wang family was really having a hard time, the few pieces of jewelry she had were put into pawn shops one after another. The money they got in exchange either bought pens and ink for Wang Xiuyuan to study, or bought food, which went into the family's belly.
After Wang Xiuyuan was pregnant with a child, her mother-in-law, Wang Liu, couldn't help but buy fabrics and asked her daughter-in-law to make new clothes for her son and herself. Wang Liu felt that this was not enough, so she went to a jewelry shop and bought two pieces for herself. Jewelry is said to have the style of a virgin.
Only then did she realize that her daughter-in-law also had a bald head. She usually covered her head with a handkerchief, and sometimes she only wore a wooden hairpin or a homemade hairpin. This seemed a bit unseemly.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang Liu kindly bought two pieces of silver jewelry for her daughter-in-law and asked her to wear them, so that she would not lose her son's face when she went out.
These two pieces of jewelry were light in the hand, and together they didn't cost much money. However, Lin Huiniang had worked hard every day over the years and earned a lot of money for the Wang family.
Thinking of this, Lin Hui couldn't help but feel secretly resentful that the Wang family's mother and son were too poisonous.
He treated Lin Huiniang like a cow and a horse, and used the money she earned with peace of mind, but he still treated her harshly, and finally used up all her value. She was forced to divorce her and returned to her parents' home.
For someone like Lin Huiniang, who regards her husband as her top priority and is used to being submissive, how can she still survive after such an experience, with the reputation of being divorced for having an affair!
Even without the intervention of Butcher Fang later, Lin Huiniang would not have lived long. It is really sad and deplorable!
Lin Hui decided that she would take back all the things Lin Huiniang brought to the Wang family, so that the Wang family and her son would lose everything and get the punishment they deserve!
