Chapter 128 Angry Aunt Lin
In the days that followed, Aunt Lin came over at a fixed time every day to help cook, boil medicine, and feed the chickens and ducks.
By the way, I'll see what new misfortunes have happened to the Lin family, so that I can tell others about them after I leave.
It's really weird to say, the Lin family has bad luck one after another, and it's different every day.
Take eating for example. The tableware was obviously in good condition, but when it came into Lin Laosan's hands, the spoon suddenly broke and fell into the porridge bowl, splashing the hot porridge all over his face and causing several blisters.
In order to solve her urgent problem, Shen asked her to find a carpenter in the village to help make a simple crutch to facilitate her movement.
When the carpenter gave her the crutch to try out, everything was fine. As soon as the carpenter left, the crutch broke with a "snap". Most of Shen's weight was on the crutch.
When the wooden crutch broke, Shen lost his balance and fell down, with his palms and knees bruised.
And there was Lin Chengyu, who was covered in splints all over his body, wrapped up like a mummy. Not only did he get prickly heat from the heat, but he was also unable to move. And yet, a rat appeared in his room in broad daylight, and it was bold enough to crawl all over him.
If it were in the past, Lin Chengyu would naturally not be afraid, and would even catch the mouse, skin it and roast it to eat.
But things are different now. He is the passive one and can only stare at the rat with wide eyes, trying to force it back with his aura.
The rat remained unmoved and crawled directly onto his face. He was so frightened that he forgot to scream. He rolled over and threw the rat out, but he used too much force and fell himself down. Another burst of miserable howls was heard from the Lin family.
This incident made Lin Chengcai's already seriously injured body even worse, and his bed rest time was extended even further.
The youngest child of the Lin family had been fine for the past few days, but he kept complaining about Aunt Lin's cooking. Aunt Lin now had no good feelings towards this fat boy, and finally on the third day, bad luck befell this naughty child.
He disliked the food and didn't want to eat. He kept shouting that he wanted to eat meat and tried to sweep the food on the table with his hand. As a result, some of the soup spilled out and burned a large area on the back of Lin Chengcai's hand.
The redness and swelling caused by Lin Chuyi's previous beating had not yet healed completely, and this was like adding fuel to the fire.
When Lin Chengcai pulled his hand back in pain, he knocked over the soup bowl, which fell to the ground and splashed a large area of the soup on Lin Chengcai's trouser legs.
The scalding temperature penetrated through the cloth and reached Lin Chengcai's leg skin. The child's skin was delicate and after being scalded, it instantly turned red and blistered.
Lin Chengcai couldn't bear the pain from the burns and started crying loudly.
If Aunt Lin hadn't brought the fat boy's food to Lin Laosan's room and let them watch him eat in order to prove that she didn't withhold his food, Aunt Lin wouldn't have been able to explain herself even if she had eight mouths.
Even so, Aunt Lin unexpectedly heard Shen complaining to her husband Lin Youfu, saying that Aunt Lin and their family were not compatible, which was why their family had been plagued by bad luck recently.
This made Aunt Lin very angry, and she rushed in without caring about anything.
"You are so good, Lin Shenshi. I work diligently every day to help you take care of your family, but not only do I not get a word of praise, but I am also complained by you. I thought I should be worthy of the ten copper coins a day, and I help you feed the chickens and ducks and clean the yard every day, but I didn't expect you to think so much of me. It's really a waste of kindness."
"You think I am guilty of causing you so much bad luck? If you ask me, it's just retribution for your bad deeds. I don't want your filthy money anymore, so as not to be affected by your bad luck. You dislike me, don't you? Fine, whoever wants to do this job of serving others can do it, I won't do it anymore."
After Aunt Lin finished speaking, she swung the broom in her hand, threw it on the ground, and walked away angrily.
"Hey, Aunt Lin! Aunt Lin, please don't leave! I didn't mean that..."
Shen didn't expect that the person she was talking about behind someone's back would hear her, and she felt guilty for a moment.
Seeing that the man was really angry, and thinking about the current situation at home, she really couldn't let him go like this, so Shen picked up the new crutch beside her and went to chase him.
But Aunt Lin was so angry that she wouldn't listen to any explanation. She ignored her and stormed back home.
When it was time for dinner, he would take his own bowl and go out to chat with others, telling other people in the village about the grievances he had suffered in Lao Lin's house during these days.
The Lin family has been having a lot of bad luck recently. In order to get the latest news from Aunt Lin, the gossipy uncles and aunts would sit under the big tree at the entrance of the village with their bowls and small stools at dinner time.
Just waiting to listen to Aunt Lin telling about the Lin family’s latest misfortunes while eating.
Aunt Lin spoke very excitedly, and the old men and women in the village listened with great interest, occasionally joining in on the conversation. After having their first taste of the melon from Aunt Lin, they left feeling very satisfied.
The next day, what happened in the Lin family spread throughout the village, and the reputation of the third branch of the Lin family declined again. The people of the third branch of the Lin family did not go out, so naturally they did not know what the villagers thought of them now.
After Aunt Lin quit her job, all the housework fell on Lin Wuya alone.
Lin Wuya has been exhausted during this period of time. Her fever has not gone away. She has to get up during the day to take care of the family's daily life, and she is tortured by dreams when she falls asleep at night.
Strangely enough, she knew she was dreaming, but she couldn't control herself at all. Everything went wrong for her in the dream, which made her very crazy, but she could do nothing about it.
When she woke up every morning, she knew that she had dreamed again, but she could not remember the content of the dream. She only vaguely remembered that it was not a good thing.
Sometimes when she was taking care of the family, some images would flash through her mind, making her feel as if everything that was happening before her eyes had been experienced in a dream.
This made her feel very panicked, and she could no longer distinguish between a dream and reality.
She went to talk to Shen, but Shen didn't take it seriously and told her it was just some illusions caused by the fever.
Lin Wuya felt that she should believe what her mother said, but she subconsciously felt that those dreams were a prediction of the future. It was just that she could not remember the second half of the dream. Only when she experienced similar scenes could she flash the scenes in the dream.
She knew that this was not going to work, but she couldn't remember what was going on and didn't dare to express it. She was afraid that they would treat her like a monster or a lunatic.
Lin Wuya suffered from both physical and mental torture. She quickly lost a lot of weight and became taciturn. She was no longer the arrogant and self-righteous person she used to be.
Now she no longer has the energy to plan for anything. She is busy every day and falls asleep as soon as she lies down at night. Perhaps because she thinks less, she gradually stops having those strange dreams.
