Chapter 9 Eat a good meal
But the way she was holding her stomach clearly indicated that she was suffering from abdominal pain due to hunger.

Mrs. Lin Zhang looked at the film of this little girl, and she was really clever. He didn't speak just now, so he was waiting for her here.

Naturally, she refused to fall into a disadvantage, so she rolled her eyes and accused Lin Chujiu of pretending to be pitiful.

"What else do you have in mind besides eating all day long? If you talk like this, then your father will think that I, a grandmother, am not good to you."

Mrs. Lin Zhang has a very loud voice, and her neighbors may have heard such a high voice. Perhaps it is because of her guilty conscience.

Even so, Lin Chujiu was not afraid.

She held her stomach pitifully and said sensibly, "Milk, I like to eat secretly. I went to the back mountain to pick wild vegetables to eat without telling you. Of course I'm not hungry now."

Mrs. Lin Zhang obviously didn't expect that this little girl would dare to speak openly about eating wild vegetables?
I'm afraid that the second child will be angry after hearing this.

Today, the second child and his wife came back early. Before asking them for their wages, the second child went to the back mountain to look for the girl.

Listening to Lin Chujiu's words, Lin Wenshan's face became darker and darker, and Lin Zhang finally compromised.

"Let your mother steam two steamed buns to eat. Our family is so poor, where can we get noodles for you?"

"Okay, grandma."

Lin Chujiu answered obediently, but with an imperceptible smile on her face, she ran to the kitchen to help her mother.

No noodles?

She absolutely didn't believe this.

On weekdays, Mrs. Lin Zhang hid all the delicious food. When her parents came back and saw the scene in the kitchen, they really thought that the family was very poor.

Mother might not be able to find eggs and white flour, but Lin Chujiu would not skimp on them.

Seeing Lin Chujiu coming, her mother narrowed her eyes and said to her with a smile, "I'm afraid you're starving, and you can't wait any longer?"

"I'm here to help you. You're tired from working for nothing during the day." Lin Chujiu said obediently, and then added fuel to the pot.

I saw a big lock on the cabinet in the kitchen. There must be meat hidden in it, and it definitely couldn't be taken out.

But Lin Chujiu still remembers the place where Lin Zhang placed the eggs. It is reasonable to add a few eggs to the noodles, right?

So, she quickly took three eggs and cracked them all into the pot.

My mother was a little scared when she saw her actions. She had been treated harshly by her mother-in-law, so she definitely didn't dare to put eggs in her noodles.

But then I thought, since there are eggs, what’s the point of cracking two?
What kind of life do others live under the same roof?When they eat as a family, are they even reluctant to break eggs?
Sure enough, when a large bowl of noodles was served to the table, Mrs. Lin Zhang burst into tears and scratched her heart.

"Damn beast, eat three eggs at once!"

"You shameless girl, these eggs have to be sold for money, how can you get them? I still remember the time you ate eggs secretly, but you want to do so again this time. What a misfortune for our family!"

As Lin Zhang's tone of voice became more and more intense, Lin Wenshan's face became a little confused.

Lin Chujiu didn't care what Mrs. Lin Zhang said. In her opinion, boiling noodles with eggs was a normal thing.

She pretended not to hear, holding her mother's hand and eating noodles together.

Ren Pinglin and Mrs. Zhang were scolding her, but no one informed her. The scene was extremely embarrassing.

Soon, the three of them finished the bowl of noodles.

Lin Zhang looked at the bottom of the big bowl, not to mention how much she felt distressed.

"The autumn harvest is about to begin, and last year's food has been used up long ago." Lin Zhang continued, and when she said this, she rolled her eyes at Lin Chujiu.

"Second brother, are you busy in the town? I don't have the strength to work with my old bones. If you don't come back for the autumn harvest, there will be no labor force at home."

What Lin Zhang said was pitiful, but the girl she couldn't stand the most was Lin Chujiu. This girl just needed to be spanked, and the older she got, the more disobedient she became.Even though he heard the old lady complaining on the side, Lin Wenshan didn't say a word.

In fact, he and his wife usually have a miserable life in the town, because all the money they earn is given to the old lady.

Originally, I thought that the family would not be separated and everyone would still be a family, so it would be reasonable to give the money to my mother.

"Isn't uncle considered a strong worker?"

Lin Chujiu suddenly interrupted.

Everyone knows that the third son of the Lin family has become a cripple because of his studies. He has not been home all year round, and the old lady will not let him work when he comes back. She just hopes that he can make a difference by studying.

But the boss, Lin Yaozu, has not studied and is in good health, so he cannot work?

Everyone knows that the old lady favors the eldest son, but the eldest son is lazy and doesn't like to do any work. It can be said that he has accomplished nothing in middle age.

Even if he doesn't work, the old lady can't do anything to him.

But when Lin Chujiu said this, the old lady couldn't answer it.

"How much work can your uncle do alone? Your father needs to come back, so two people can work together to do it faster!"

Lin Chujiu wanted to laugh when he heard this.

Because in her memory, there had never been a scene of the two working together, and Lin Yaozu was famous for being lazy.

Lin Wenshan is not a fool. What his daughter said makes sense. The boss has plenty of arms and legs, so why shouldn't he work?
He usually works hard because he is filial, but that doesn't mean he will be bullied.

Seeing that the second child didn't speak, Lin Zhang simply sat aside.

She had another thing to do this time, and that was to get money from the second wife and her husband. Before, the money they earned in the town was handed over every month.

But this time, it was strange that Lin Wenshan did not take the initiative to pay.

After Lin Zhang made a few hints, Lin Wenshan pretended not to understand. This made Lin Zhang so angry that she slammed the door and left.

Lin Chujiu was very satisfied with the meal. After eating the eggs, he could still make the old lady angry. He really killed two birds with one stone.

At night, although the two of them were sleepy, neither one could fall asleep.

The woman pushed the man: "Wenshan, are you asleep?"

Lin Wenshan responded. The woman knew that he was not sleeping, so she asked him:

"You seem to be a different person today. Why do you pretend not to understand what my mother said?"

In the past, her man was a filial son.

Unexpectedly, Lin Wenshan said to her:
"Daughter-in-law, life is so difficult. If we separate our families, do you think it will be easier for the children?"

The woman was very surprised. She knew that men had mentioned separation in the past, and she had wanted to separate the family a long time ago.

But every time she mentioned this, the scene of the old lady crying, making trouble, and hanging herself appeared in her mind, and she couldn't say she wasn't scared.

So after so many years, the family should have been separated long ago, but it has never been divided.

"Don't mention it, Wenshan, my mother won't agree."

Speaking of this, the woman's eyes showed a little despair.

Lin Wenshan was even more angry and told Lin Chujiu how angry he was.

"My daughter has been hungry for seven days. What do you think is the reason? Is it because I forgot to boil the bath water for my little sister? She is so big and she still needs others to take care of her?"
