As soon as Zhou Guixiang finished speaking, Li Cuihua started scolding Lin Sanniu again.”You short-lived bastard, what kind of daughter did you give birth to? Now that she has food, clothes, and money, she wants to cast aside the family that has raised her. In her dreams. I’m telling you, Lin Sanniu, this time, you have to get 500 teals from that wretched girl no matter what. Otherwise, you’ll be kicked out of the Lin family with your wastrels and jinxes. ”
When Lin Sanniu heard Li Cuihua’s words, his expression changed drastically. “Mother!” He exclaimed in disbelief.
Li Cuihua raised her head and snorted, “What? Let me tell you. You must get me five hundred taels of alimony today. All these years, our Lin family has raised your family and spent God knows how much money. So, you should compensate us for our expenses.”
How shameless.
It was Lin Sanniu’s family that was supporting the entire family. Even their youngest three-year-old son had to work in the fields. But suddenly, they were the freeloaders?
Of course, this was all Lin Sanniu’s own doing. He could not blame anyone else.
Seeing that there was no hope from his mother, Lin Sanniu turned to look at Lin Laosan and cried out with heartache and sadness, “father, do you have the same thoughts? If I don’t get the money, I’ll be kicked out?”
Ever since he was young, he had been the least valued person. That was why he wanted to be obedient, filial, and work more. He even wanted to make his children and his wife suffer with him. Even when they wanted him to kill his own daughter, he didn’t say a word. He obeyed their order because he wanted his parents’ approval.
However, the truth was that no matter what he did, he was still a failure.
Lin Laosan sensed his third son’s sadness, but he said, “your mother is right. That girl is going to be filial to others, so why can’t she be filial to her own father and mother? “So, you have to go and ask for family support, otherwise…” He didn’t say anything else, but everyone knew the consequence.
Lin Sanniu was disappointed and sad, but he couldn’t bear to leave this house. With a numb expression, he nodded and said, “okay!”
…
There were five eight-seater tables in Lin yuelan’s courtyard. Three of them were for Lin Yuelan’s people, Lin Yiwei’s family, and Lin Dawei’s family. The other two were empty tables filled with dishes. If the villagers came, they would come. If they didn’t, she didn’t care.
This time, Lin Yuelan cooked personally. Although she was young, she had plenty of strength, so even if she stood in front of the stove and stepped on the low bench, it didn’t affect her cooking in the slightest. The dishes she made looked, smelled, and tasted good.
In a short while, the fragrance drifted out of the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, the Lin family villagers were pacing back and forth. From time to time, they stuck their heads out to check out everything in the yard. Their expressions were a little conflicted, but they also seemed to be at a loss.
Because they didn’t know if they should go in and have a meal.
After all, there was so much meat inside that it made people drool. They were usually frugal, so how could they bear to buy meat? They could only eat meat a few times a year, so when they saw meat, of course, their mouths watered.
“Mother, I want to go in and eat meat. I want to eat meat!” Some of the children couldn’t take the smell of the meat and started making a lot of noise.
“Father, there’s so much delicious food. I want to eat it, I want to eat it.”
“What nonsense! You’ll die if you eat here. Stand there quietly. If you continue to cry, I’ll beat you to death!” It was the sound of an adult scolding a child.
“My baby wants to eat here? This … Let father think about it again!” Some people said hesitantly.
“Father, mother, look at that big piece of meat. It’s red and looks delicious. I want to go and eat it.”
“If you don’t let me, I’ll keep crying and making a fuss.”
These were all families with children who were a few years old.
“Old man, it’s been a long time since we have eaten any meat.” Looking at the table full of meat and vegetables, it would be a lie to say that they were not tempted.
