"Second brother Gu, sure! I can give you a pound of meat, but not more. Chu Ran just got out of the hospital and needs to be nourished! It's the same if you give me the money and the ticket and I'll go buy some tomorrow." Lin Xi knew that she couldn't let Gu Tingxiao face all this alone. After all, the meat was his. To put it bluntly, it's his own pork that's the cause of the trouble!

"Okay! Thank you, Lin Zhiqing. I'll ask my wife to get the money and tickets for you." Gu Laoer didn't think much about it and sincerely wanted to thank Lin Xi.

But Gu Laoer gave Liu San countless looks, but Liu San seemed not to understand and stood there without moving.

"Why don't you go and get the money!" Seeing her like this, Gu Laoer also got angry.

"Why are you going? There is no money at home. Lin Zhiqing is so rich, he won't care about such a small amount of money, Lin Zhiqing, don't you think?" Liu Sandi didn't want to take the money, he just wanted to take advantage of it for free.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Go get the money quickly." Gu Laoer felt so ashamed that he pushed Liu Sandie back to the house.

"I've already told you that there's no money at home. If you keep pushing me, I'll be mad at you!" Liu Sandi lied with his eyes open because he just didn't want to pay for it.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How can there be no money? Didn't you get 120 yuan when the family was divided? It's only been two days, where did the money go?" When Gu Laoer heard that there was no money, he thought his wife was lying to him.

"That's just a small amount of money, it must be saved for future emergencies. How can it be used to buy meat? Besides, Lin Zhiqing hasn't said anything yet! Why are you in such a hurry?" Liu San avoided looking at Gu Laoer, not daring to look him in the eye, as if he was afraid that he would discover something.

So he was waiting for her here! In the end, he just wanted to get it for free and didn't want to pay. Lin Xi sneered. This Liu San was really too despicable.

"Second Sister Gu, you have to spend money to buy meat. How can you not spend money? The meat was bought by me with money and tickets, how can I give it to you for free? What's more, we have no relatives or friends. Don't you think this is true?" Lin Xi said with a forced smile, trying to be more tactful.

"Lin Zhiqing, who said it doesn't matter? Aren't you the girlfriend of our fifth child? You are Xiaobao's future aunt. Isn't it only right for you to give him a meal of meat?" Liu San didn't care what Lin Xi said about whether it mattered or not, and directly pushed the child out as a shield.

"Second Sister-in-law Gu, you also said that I am your future aunt, but the problem is that I am not one yet!" Lin Xi had some sympathy but not much. If Liu Sandi was not so unreasonable just for a piece of meat, she would be happy to give it to him. After all, she did not lack it. But if he was eager to ask for benefits, then she could only laugh, because she would not get anything even if she asked for it.

"You..." Liu San didn't expect Lin Xi to not be able to take in the smoke. Just as he was about to curse, Gu Lao Er quickly covered his mouth with his hands and eyes, "Shut up! Don't you think it's not embarrassing enough?"

"And you, get up quickly, otherwise I'll give you a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots, do you want that?" When Gu Laoer dragged Liu Sandie back to the room, he did not forget to give his son who was still lying on the ground a verbal warning.

When Gu Xiaobao heard that his father was going to beat him, he got up quickly with fear. Although his father didn't beat him often, it really hurt, and he didn't want to be beaten before eating the meat, so he ran away after a few hits, probably going out to play with his friends.

"Lin Zhiqing, I'm really sorry. I made you embarrassed. I will teach her a lesson." After saying this, Gu Laoer closed the door.

"Xiao Xi, why are you here? I'm really sorry for making you embarrassed just now." Gu Tingxiao was very happy to see Lin Xi coming, but he also felt very sorry for what happened just now.

"I didn't lose any meat. Don't apologize. It's not your fault." Lin Xi didn't want him to blame himself.

"Aunt, I'm here to return the bowl." Lin Xi smiled sweetly at Gu's mother behind Gu Tingxiao.

“Just let Laowu get it. Why do you have to go there in person? It must be tiring…” Mother Gu could feel the kindness in her smile, and the uneasiness in her heart disappeared.

"Not tired, it's not far." Lin Xi answered with a smile. She was not a porcelain doll, so how could she get tired after just walking a short distance?

"Come in and sit for a while." Mother Gu pulled Lin Xi into the main room, and Father Gu in the room nodded.

Lin Xi nodded and said hello, "Hello, uncle."

“Oh! Good, good, good…” Father Gu, who was not good at speaking, said several good words in a row.

Mother Gu asked Lin Xi to sit down, and then prepared a cup of brown sugar water for Lin Xi, "Drink it while it's hot."

"Thank you, auntie." Lin Xi thanked while drinking the brown sugar water. He didn't know how much sugar Gu's mother put in it. It was very sweet, but Lin Xi still finished it in one breath.

"Auntie will make you another cup." Seeing that Lin Xi had finished drinking, Mother Gu went to get the bowl.

"Aunt, no more, I'm full and can't drink anymore." Lin Xi held Gu's mother's hand to stop her from going. She couldn't bear another bowl and was choking.

"Okay then!" Gu's mother thought that she was really full and couldn't drink anymore, so she didn't go.

Only Gu Tingxiao, who was sitting next to Gu's mother, was worried, so he tried his best to hold back his smile.

When Gu's mother wasn't paying attention, Lin Xi glared at Gu Tingxiao fiercely. This stinky man only knew how to gloat over other people's misfortunes. He was so unlovable.

For more than half an hour, Lin Xi chatted with Gu's mother. Gu Tingxiao occasionally interrupted her, and Gu's mother also learned about her family situation from Lin Xi.

"Xiaoxi, you don't mind me calling you that, do you?" Mother Gu took Lin Xi's hand and touched it gently, afraid of hurting her.

"Auntie, I don't mind. It seems more intimate to call you that." Lin Xi could feel her cautiousness!

Mother Gu's hands were covered with thick calluses and many thin wounds. Lin Xi knew that these were left when she was doing farm work. Lin Xi once again felt the hardships of farmers in this era.

"Good girl...Xiaoxi, you know the Gu family's situation. It is definitely not as good as yours, but as long as you marry into my family in the future, I will definitely treat you as well as my own daughter." Mother Gu gently patted the back of Lin Xi's hand.

"Aunt, I know." Lin Xi lowered her head shyly. She had money and food, so she would not despise the Gu family no matter how poor their conditions were.

"Good child..." Gu's mother just thought that she was willing to marry him and didn't say anything more.

Gu Tingxiao: Mom, you think too much. Xiaoxi has plenty of money!

Lin Xi: Do you want me to support you?

Gu Tingxiao: Sure! Wife, you will support me in the future.

Lin Xi: Sure!

"Laowu, please take Xiaoxi back home! It's getting late." Mother Gu glanced outside and saw that the sun was about to set.

"Okay." Gu Tingxiao motioned Lin Xi to follow him.

"Goodbye, uncle and aunt." Lin Xi said goodbye with a smile.

"Goodbye." Father and Mother Gu said in unison.

When Lin Xi went out to the yard, she vaguely heard Liu Sandi crying, but it was not her business. Even if he was beaten, it was Liu Sandi who deserved it. She quickly caught up with Gu Tingxiao, and the two walked back to the educated youth point side by side.

"Xiaoxi is such a polite child!" The moment Mother Gu opened the basket, she saw what was inside: two cans, a pound of egg cake, and a bag of White Rabbit milk candies!
