Chapter 300: Children’s words are innocent, please don’t be surprised, Buddha!
The children treated them well, but it was only to save the eldest brother's face. The eldest brother cared about the old man anyway, but he would not care about her life or death as a stepmother who was not liked by him.
So, for the sake of the rest of his life, nothing can happen to the old man.
After thinking clearly about the pros and cons, she took better care of him. Even when Old Man Lin said something unpleasant sometimes, she would not argue with him.
Song was amazed at how the couple could still have such a good relationship after the illness!
Old man Lin leaned on the kang while old lady Li peeled peanuts for him.
"Old man, you're sick this time, and I just realized that we can't count on Old Four anymore in the future!"
"I didn't expect anything from him in the first place, but I didn't expect him to be so heartless."
Old man Lin was also very disappointed. In the past, he really thought that his youngest son was unlucky. At least he was sensible and filial.
Now, alas!
He looked at the old woman with a warning: "From now on, you are not allowed to help the fourth brother, and you are not allowed to secretly help him with work."
"Know it!"
Even if the old man didn't say it, she wouldn't indulge him anymore.
It’s better to keep the money in your own hands!
"Xiaomi, have you packed everything?"
Looking at their daughter who is about to leave for the provincial capital tomorrow, Lin Dashan and his wife are filled with reluctance and guilt.
During the past few days since my daughter came home, the people in the old house have been causing a lot of trouble. Every day is a chaos and there are endless trivial matters to deal with.
"Everything is fine!"
"That's good! Mother has a few words to tell you." Wang pulled Lin Xiaomi into the inner room, and Lin Dashan pulled Xiao Ran and whispered something.
After Wang entered the room, she glanced at Xi Que, and the three maids tactfully left.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Wang held her hand and said, "Xiaomi, you have been married for quite a while, but you are still not pregnant. If you are still not pregnant next year, I am afraid that you will have a hard time in your husband's family."
Lin Xiaomi didn't know what to say.
Wang took out a brocade bag from her sleeve, and then took out a few pieces of talisman paper from it, "This is the talisman that your mother and father specially went to Tashan Temple to ask for to bring you a child. The master said that before you have sex, burn this talisman and drink the ashes with water, and you will get pregnant."
This talisman for praying for a child was for her and the head of the household, a total of five. Normally, no matter how sincere they were, the master would only give them one. She and the head of the household prayed for a long time and donated 200 taels of silver. Seeing that they were really sincere, the master made an exception and gave them five.
Lin Xiaomi: ...
Feudal superstitions are not to be trusted, mother!
What is this? Talisman paper. It's just a ghostly talisman! Can you drink this?
Wang carefully stuffed the talisman paper into Lin Xiaomi's sleeve pocket and whispered, "Hide it carefully and don't let the people below find it. Before having sex, let them leave and then burn it. You must wash your hands and be sincere. Do you understand?"
Lin Xiaomi felt the brocade bag in her sleeve and felt somewhat unable to accept it.
How come she didn't know when her parents asked for this? No, she didn't dare drink the water. It was dirty!
"Mother, how much silver is this talisman?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, girl? Amitabha, the child is still young, please don't blame the gods and Buddhas."
"How much silver?"
"Why would a master accept money? What are you thinking?" Wang said angrily.
It’s free. Lin Xiaomi took out the brocade bag. Can this piece of paper really make people pregnant?
"If your grandma had asked me to beg for help back then, maybe your brother would have gotten married by now!"
Wang recalled the past and said with some sadness.
So, does this really work?
"Mom, you really didn't spend any money?"
Wang glared at her and said, "No, the master was only willing to give one at first. Your father and I begged for a long time, saying that you married far away and it would be inconvenient for you to come often, and that it would be difficult for us to give up our love for our children, so he only gave us five.
You put it away for me and keep it close to your body, okay?"
"understood."
"Your father, grateful for the master's kindness, donated 200 taels of incense money. I think it's too little. At least 500 taels. When you are pregnant and fulfill your vow, I will donate more."
Just for these few talismans, he gave her 200 taels? Her mother still thought it was not enough and wanted to add more?
Lin Xiaomi looked at Wang. When did money become so easy to earn? Her mother gave her 500 taels without even blinking an eye.
She couldn't tell anyone about contraception, mainly because it was too difficult to explain.
The talisman in his hand was too prickly. "Mom, 200 taels is already a lot. It's a house in the city!"
Temples really make money quickly. No wonder the monks in previous lives drove horse-drawn carriages, carried horse suits, and lived a very comfortable life.
"Girl, why have you been talking nonsense all day long? Bah! Children may speak without restraint, so please do not be offended by the Buddha!"
She really wanted to say that she had reached adulthood!
