Sun was always not far from Zhang and saw the whole confrontation between her and Old Lady Lin.
The moment Zhang was about to take action and the moment her husband called for help, she immediately moved the baskets around Zhang.
The Zhang family can be wasted, but the food cannot!
Lin Anxiang hurried over when he heard his elder brother's life-threatening shout.
From a distance he saw his wife and mother standing opposite each other, like two roosters about to fight.
He was overwhelmed for a moment. Old Mrs. Lin was much more difficult to deal with than Old Mr. Lin.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"
"Brother Xiang~"
As soon as Zhang saw her husband, her eyes immediately became three points softer, and coupled with the tears that were about to fall, Lin Anxiang's heart was completely inclined towards her.
"uh-huh!"
"Do you want me to call the whole village over here and let them see how you can be so shameless in being horny outside?"
Zhang's tears stopped immediately. She glared at Old Mrs. Lin angrily, then looked at her husband aggrievedly.
"mother……"
"Don't call me mom." Old Mrs. Lin is not Old Man Lin. She won't insist on arguing with the younger generation about right and wrong. She just wants the younger generation to obey her.
"When you finish washing the vegetables here, you can leave. If you don't want to wash them, then just leave. But I have to say this in advance. If you leave now, your father and I will not go to help you with the housewarming. As for whether other people will go or not..."
"If mom doesn't go, we won't go either."
Lin Anji, holding a kitchen knife, immediately expressed his loyalty.
Lin Anxiang gritted his teeth. He didn't want to help, nor did he need other people from the Lin family to help.
But wanting to, not wanting to, and being able to are two different things. Believe it or not, if he doesn't come to help the third brother, the whole village will gossip about him behind his back the next day; believe it or not, if the other members of the Lin family don't come to help him, he won't be able to stay in Shantian Village.
"Don't worry, mother. Your daughter-in-law will finish washing it."
Ignoring Zhang's incredulous look, Lin Anxiang agreed on her behalf.
"It'd be better if you were telling the truth."
After saying this, Mrs. Lin did not leave and waited for Zhang to start working.
What can Zhang do?
Zhang couldn't do anything.
The sound of Mrs. Lin slapping someone in the face was indeed loud, and the Lin family’s children could hear it from far away.
Several of them wanted to go over to watch, but were stopped by Liu who came over. They could only squat back where they were and prick up their ears to eavesdrop.
Liu looked down at the children, and finally her gaze lingered for a long time on the three children from the second room.
She only came to stop her own children and her eldest brother's children, but did not stop the second family.
When these three children saw their mother being bullied, they didn't even say they wanted to go over to take a look. Is it because Zhang was such a failure as a mother or are these three children just grown up in the wrong way?
The Lin family's old house.
Old Master Lin brought Lin Anru back to the old house, and then he was kicked out of his own house.
Old Master Lin touched his nose, looked at the gate of his house, sighed, and walked to a place not far from the yard and squatted down.
The person who dared to be so rude to Mr. Lin was none other than Mrs. Lin’s brother, Lin Anru’s uncle, and the great-uncle of Lin Boyu and Lin Shiyu.
"Uncle, why did you come so late? Did you have a smooth journey?"
Lin Anru was very surprised. The banquet was not to start until tomorrow, so why did his uncle come early?
"Your mother sent someone to say that no one is visiting your wife anymore, so I came here to help."
Uncle Lin and Old Lady Lin look very similar, especially their eyes that look like they are slanting at people. People who are not familiar with them would feel uneasy when seeing them.
"Uncle, please take this trip."
According to the local custom, when a new house is moved, the wife's brother-in-law will send a load of gifts, which include meat, cakes and the like. These are used for worshiping gods by the owner of the new house and as gifts to guests who come to the banquet.
Liu was an only child with no brothers or sisters. Her clan had cut off all ties with her, so she had no brothers or sisters. It was for this reason that Old Lady Lin shamelessly asked her brother to be the one to carry the load.
"The gift basket will be used tonight. After we worship the family gods and ancestors, we need to take out the things inside." Uncle Lin instructed.
Lin Anru responded in a low voice.
There were a lot of things in the gift basket, and it was estimated that it would cost two taels of silver to buy everything. How could Lin Anru not be moved?
"And this is an extra gift for you. Keep it for yourself and don't tell your elder brother or younger brother about it."
Uncle Lin rummaged around, took out all the copper coins he had, and pushed them towards Lin Anru.
"Uncle, this is unacceptable!"
Lin Anru was startled and quickly returned the coin.
"Take it. If I say I'm giving it to you, it's for you." Uncle Lin pushed the money back and said, "This is for you to use in your exams. Just keep it!"
"That year you said you wanted to take the exam, but your uncle's family was poor and couldn't support you. After so many years, your uncle's family is doing well and has some money left. I saved it and sent it to you. I don't know if you still want to go in that direction, eh!"
"uncle……"
"San'er, you have a quick mind. Your uncle hopes that you can try that road again. You have separated from your parents now, and there is no one to hold you back. Just go for it and give it a try."
Lin Anru was stunned for a moment, then replied firmly with a "OK".
"Hide the money. I hope that before my uncle dies, others will call him Uncle."
……
Old Master Lin squatted outside the door until his legs were numb. The people inside had not come out yet, and he himself did not dare to go in. He looked at the gate of his yard with resentment.
Grandpa Lin had almost pulled out all the grass above where he was squatting, and the gate to the yard was finally opened. He couldn't wait to go forward and ask his son what they were doing inside.
"Humph!"
Uncle Lin persuaded Grandpa Lin to go back with a nasal sound. He was not curious, really not curious!
Lin Anru led Uncle Lin towards their new home.
“This is a nice, quiet location.”
Uncle Lin exclaimed in admiration as he looked at the house that was almost approaching.
Old Master Lin stiffened his neck and wanted to refute, but when he looked at Uncle Lin, who had the same eyes as his wife, he was so scared that he swallowed his words back.
When they returned to their new home, dinner was just ready.
It was a big pot of porridge with minced meat and vegetables, which was a big surprise for the children.
They ate meat again today. Although it was just porridge made from minced meat, it had the taste of meat and they were content.
"I really hope that there will be a banquet at home every day, so that we can eat meat every day..."
Lin Bowen squinted his eyes and swallowed the hot porridge, then expressed this wish.
"It's impossible to have a banquet every day. We would be exhausted. So it's best to have one every other day." Lin Boyu shattered Lin Bowen's hope, and then made a wish of his own.
"Pfft, cough cough cough!"
