Zhang Xiangyang and the others readily agreed.

They are now completely reformed, a far cry from their former selves.

After all, Liang Xin was originally a high-ranking official, and he mostly sent them to do bad things, so they were the ones who bore the brunt of the bad reputation.

Now that they've turned their lives around and become good people, their reputation has improved a lot, and Zhang Xiangyang and his ilk are quite happy about it.

...

On the other side, the Lin family.

As dusk settled, Xuefu saw someone selling two baskets of large hairy crabs by the river early this morning when she went to buy groceries. The crabs were quite big and reasonably priced. Thinking she could treat her children to some, she generously bought a few.

Since all the children in the family were home that evening, we steamed the hairy crabs that had been purged of sand, picked some leftover autumn vegetables from our small vegetable garden in front of our house, added some oil and salt, stir-fried them, and put them on the table.

The family was happily gathered around the table eating hairy crabs when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Lin Weiming glanced at the last hairy crab in his hand, then looked outside the door.

"Dad, go ahead, don't worry, I'll eat it for you." Lin Zheyun looked longingly at the hairy crab in Lin Weiming's hand.

Xuefu was worried that if the children ate too much, it would be bad for their stomachs, so she only bought one for each person in the family.

Lin Zheyun ate very quickly. After finishing what he had in his hand, he couldn't bear to take it from his younger siblings, so he set his sights on his father.

Lin Weiming: "..."

Sons really shouldn't be raised!
