Quick Transmigration: Becoming a Scumbag Household: Inciting Family to Compete and I Lie Down to Win

After finally graduating from university, she booked a tour group to 'reward' herself for years of hard study, but unexpectedly ran into falling rocks and was killed. Her wonderful life had...

Chapter 286 The Scholar's Wife Suddenly Repents (Part 4)

"From now on, come back around noon! Second sister-in-law, you'll have to do the cooking from now on, and I'll help you out!"

"Dad, while it's not the busy farming season, hurry up and fix the farm tools. Zhiyuan, you don't need to go to the fields anymore. Help me look after Zhixin and Cuijuan!"

"Mom, you have to come to town with me again tomorrow morning."

At the dinner table, apart from Lin Xue occasionally putting a piece of meat into her bowl, only her two children, Huang Zhiyuan and Huang Cuijuan, dared to reach for the meat and vegetables in their bowls with their chopsticks.

"The stew is ready, you can all eat!"

Lin Xue glanced at them. Seeing the awkwardness between the old couple and the second son's family, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, no wonder the original owner of this body could ride roughshod over them.

With that soft, cuddly look, wouldn't anyone want to bully him?

"Zhixin, who taught you to only care about eating meat yourself? Your grandparents, your uncle and aunt, and your second brother haven't had a single piece of meat to eat!"

"Hurry up and put them on your plate. As a descendant of the Huang family, you must respect your grandparents and elders, otherwise the bamboo carrying pole I left outside the yard will fall on your shoulders!"

Lin Xue stared at the two children who were only focused on eating, her eyes fixed on them as if she could run outside the yard at any moment to grab a carrying pole and whip them.

"mother?"

Huang Zhixin and Huang Cuijuan were startled by Lin Xue's actions. Their mother had never taught them this before. Why was she saying these things today?

"Um?"

Lin Xue narrowed her eyes, startling the two children who trembled.

Even the other five people sat quietly, not daring to eat anymore, for fear that the next second the fighting would break out among them.

"From now on, whenever there is something delicious at home, you must first give a portion to your grandparents. As for the other elders in the family, if there is any left over, you must share it with them as well!"

Lin Xue looked at the two children who were like quails. The children were still young and had not been completely led astray by the original owner.

It's still possible to correct them now. If she had transmigrated any later, the two children's personalities might have already taken shape, and it would have been much harder to correct them then.

"Mom, can we really give Grandpa and Grandma some meat?"

Huang Zhixin was a little afraid of his mother and was hesitant to do anything, but Huang Cuijuan mustered up her courage and asked.

"certainly!"

When her youngest daughter asked this question, Lin Xue's brows relaxed slightly, and her gaze on Huang Cuijuan softened.

"Then I'll put meat on Grandpa and Grandma's plates, and I'll put on the best meat!"

Although Huang Cuijuan was a little apprehensive, she was the youngest child in the Huang family and the only girl.

The level of favor she receives on a daily basis is definitely different from that of Huang Zhixin.

So she was bolder than her brother, and at this moment she stood up and put a piece of meat with more meat into her grandparents' bowls.

After serving meat to her grandparents, Huang Cuijuan looked in Lin Xue's direction and saw her mother looking at her with encouraging eyes, which made her even bolder.

Then, he picked out three pieces of meat with more bones from the meat dishes and put them into the bowls of Huang Degui, Zhang Shi, and Huang Zhiyuan respectively.

"Our Cuijuan did a great job! Tomorrow, Mom will go to town and buy you a piece of candy!"

Seeing her daughter looking at her expectantly after she finished, Lin Xue immediately began to praise her.

"Third son's wife, this..."

Grandma Huang looked at the bird meat in the bowl, unsure whether she should pick up her chopsticks and eat it.

"Eat up, we're all family. From now on, whenever the dishes are served, everyone can take whatever they want. There's no need to be so reserved as we're not strangers."

After finishing her sentence, Lin Xue stopped looking at the crowd and lowered her head to eat her meal.

"Yes, good! Good! Good!"

When Old Huang saw that his wife had asked the question and his third son's wife did not stop him, he put the golden bird meat into his mouth.

It's delicious, this tastes like meat. He hasn't had a proper piece of meat in years.

In the past, he could only eat a bite of pork when his eldest son and his family of three came back during holidays.

Normally, even if the family kills a chicken, it will be reserved for the third son's family and the children.

The elderly couple hadn't tasted meat in ages, and Old Huang felt that just this one piece of meat would make him eat two more bowls of rice.

"I'm full. Brother and sister-in-law, you should rest for a while and go back to work in the fields when the sun isn't so scorching!"

"Dad, hurry up and fix that hoe after you finish eating, so that my older brother and sister-in-law don't have to use their bare hands to weed the fields!"

"Mom, rest for a while after you finish eating. This afternoon, come with me to the mountainside to pick some mushrooms for dinner!"

"Zhiyuan, take your younger siblings to your room to sleep later. After they wake up, they can play in the village, but don't go to the river!"

After setting the bowls and chopsticks on the table and giving instructions to the family for the afternoon, Lin Xue leisurely returned to her room.

Back in the room, Lin Xue couldn't fall asleep for a while, so she took out the original owner's private stash of money and checked it. She found that there was only a tael of silver and a few hundred coins.

"Heh~"

"This is really poverty!"

With this little money, it probably wouldn't even be enough to buy the embroidery tools.

If she's going to put on a show, she'll definitely put on something very expensive; with her limited funds, she can't even buy all the fabrics and thread she needs.

No, I need to go to the mountains this afternoon to hunt some game. I'll take it to town tomorrow morning to sell it and get some money to buy materials.

Anyway, the original owner slept until almost noon before getting up, and Lin Xue couldn't sleep either, so she took the wood-chopping knife from home and went to the bamboo forest behind the mountain.

Before long, she returned with several bamboo stalks. Old Huang was sitting in the shade of the yard repairing his hoe. When he saw Lin Xue bring back so many bamboo stalks, he wondered what she was going to do with them.

"Third brother's wife, why didn't you ask me to haul those bamboo stalks for you?"

Old Huang was worried that Lin Xue would complain about him, so he spoke first before Lin Xue could.

"It's just a few bamboo stalks, no need for you to trouble yourself!"

"But this broadsword is really a bit dull. Could you sharpen it for me later? I need it this afternoon!"

Lin Xue placed the large machete she was holding in front of Old Huang, then went to exchange it for another knife and began processing the bamboo that had been dragged back.

The bottom of the basket I carried this morning has a big hole.

Lin Xue planned to use the lunch break to weave a basket to use for now.

Although it was just an ordinary kitchen knife, the bamboo in her hands was as brittle as tofu. No matter how she manipulated it, she could achieve the effect Lin Xue wanted.

"Third son's wife, you have this skill too?"

Old Huang, who was repairing a hoe nearby, watched with some surprise as Lin Xue made her movements.

"Dad, I know so much more than this! This is nothing!"

Lin Xue's fingers flew, and the bamboo strips she had split were like obedient little babies in her hands. In no time, a sturdy basket appeared in front of Old Huang.
