Chapter 334 Mom Was Not a Good Person

Lin Xiangnan wiped his hands with a handkerchief, tidied up his hair, and trotted towards Gu Zhenhua. His voice unconsciously dropped two degrees. "You're back. The flowers you bought are so beautiful."

The moment they took the flowers, their eyes looked at each other with sparks. If it weren't for the conservative atmosphere nowadays, they would have hugged each other anyway.

Lin Xiangxi stood at the kitchen door with his arms folded, watching Gu Zhenhua busy looking for a vase, fetching water and arranging flowers. Lin Xiangnan followed behind him happily, behaving more obediently than Xiaobao.

After watching for several minutes, the confusion on his face still did not disappear.

"So how did my brother-in-law seduce her?" Lin Xiangxi stroked his chin and couldn't help but go back to his room to look in the mirror.

In his eyes, sister Lin Xiangnan is the pride of the entire Lin family and stands at the highest point of the Lin family's IQ. If Gu Zhenhua can hook Lin Xiangnan, then his strength must be amazing.

He also wanted to learn from his brother-in-law and seduce a girl who was as beautiful and capable as his sister. If they worked hard together, the food at home would definitely be as good as Lin Xiangnan's!

When he walked out of the room, the zipper of his clothes was pulled up to the highest point, and when he was cutting vegetables in front of the chopping board, his back was straight.

But after Lin Xiangnan secretly hung out with Gu Zhenhua, he frowned when he saw his younger brother for the first time, "Why are you pretending to be weird?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiangxi's waist immediately collapsed, and he became angry and embarrassed, "Sister, please get out quickly. Don't disturb me while I'm working in the kitchen."

"Wait for me to get a few chicken feet on the plate, I'll leave right away." Lin Xiangnan hadn't planned to help.

Gu Zhenhua was concerned about his reputation, so he was too embarrassed to run to the kitchen to steal food when it was not time for dinner, so Lin Xiangnan had to help him.

When Lin Xiangnan took the chicken feet and ran to find Gu Zhenhua, Lin Xiangxi couldn't help but use force when cutting vegetables, "Hmph! Hmph! Vixen!"

Although he still hasn't figured out what's so attractive about Gu Zhenhua, it doesn't stop Lin Xiangxi from cursing him in his heart.

Although he didn't dare to scold Lin Xiangnan in front of him, he could still mutter a few words behind his back.

Unable to assign his own sister and brother-in-law, Lin Xiangxi could only command Gu Zhenjun, who was younger than himself.

"Sixth Brother, let Xiaobao and the others play by themselves. Come to the kitchen and help me light the fire."

"Coming~" Gu Zhenjun agreed readily.

They are the only two younger brothers in the family, so neither of them can escape from the work that is theirs to do.

Looking at the soup cooking in the pot, Gu Zhenjun stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove and said regretfully: "The food at home has been so good recently, it's a pity that Wuyun can't eat it."

The whole family returned by train, but Wuyun had no choice but to stay at home and ask his neighbors and Huang Xiaogang to help take care of him.

It is difficult for other families to have meat for every meal, so Wuyun can only endure this hardship during this period.

"It's Chinese New Year after all, the food at home shouldn't be too bad." Lin Xiangxi said, "We had meat at my grandma's house yesterday, and I could smell the meat."

"We eat delicious food every day at home, and the aroma is so strong that no one can resist it."

The food at home was too good, and other people would definitely be suspicious when seeing it, so before I went home, my family had already agreed on a statement.

Lin Xiangnan had made great contributions during his overseas inspection, and his internship unit awarded him 1,000 yuan and a color TV. This money was the source of the family's expenses. It was both face-saving and practical to share it with others.

As for the money Hu Meili earned from setting up the stall, Hu Meili planned to hide it from people in her hometown.

It’s not that she is on guard against her own parents and brothers. She can’t think of going there for the time being. She is just afraid of being embarrassed.

Her family is full of workers and college students, but she went to do small business. It's like in the future, when the children in the family are rich, but she still goes to pick up garbage. If you tell others about it, it will be embarrassing for her and her children, and people will definitely gossip about her.

To be honest, workers at scrap recycling stations now have stable jobs, which are more respectable than running small businesses.

But Hu Meili has personally experienced that she can earn more money by running a small business than by working as a worker. For the sake of money, she can put aside her pride.

Hu Meili had not sold all the goods that Lin Xiangxi brought back when they were in Beijing. Now that she has returned to her hometown these days, Hu Meili has gone back to her old job of selling things.

Even though small businesses are allowed now and arrests are not as severe, Hu Meili still acts sneakily, fearing that she would be recognized and lose face.

When she met someone she knew, Hu Meili ran away quickly.

"Selling things doesn't require much effort. It's just tiring to observe secretly and keep watch." After Hu Meili returned home, she shouted that she was hungry and urged her family to prepare dinner quickly.

"I'm just waiting for you to come back. Put the bowls on the table first. I'll stir-fry some shredded potatoes and come back." Lin Xiangxi said, and served Hu Meili a bowl of chicken soup. "Mom, if you're thirsty, drink the soup first."

The chicken soup had just come out of the pot, and even the bowl was hot. Seeing this, Gu Zhenhua quickly handed over the bowl of chicken soup in his hand.

"Mom, drink this bowl. It's almost dry. I left it for Xiaonan to dry in advance, but she hasn't touched it yet."

"In this family, apart from your eldest brother, you are the most caring." Hu Meili said with relief: "My two biological children are not as good as you."

Lin Xiangxi, who was being stepped on, didn't even change his expression.

To practice some Kung Fu, one needs talent, which obviously neither he nor Lin Xiangnan has.

After working outside for a long time, Hu Meili was already hungry. After the meal was served, Hu Meili gobbled it up in no time.

After filling her stomach, Hu Meili said, "Just now when I was outside, I ran into the classmate who used to fight with Xiaoxi. Now he has tied two baskets to the back of his bicycle and is selling cabbages. When I saw him, I quickly hid."

She seemed to have forgotten what she did during the day, and complained to Lin Xiangxi: "Your classmate was not a good student when he was in school. He was hanging out on the streets at a young age. He failed to get into university, and failed the job recruitment exam. He became a street urchin with nothing to do. It's embarrassing to tell others about it."

"Mom, how do you define your daytime behavior?" Lin Xiangnan looked at her curiously.

During the entire dinner table, except for Dabao and Xiaobao, everyone else in the family had the experience of wandering around the streets doing nothing.

When Hu Meili brought up this topic, everyone at the table turned their eyes to her.

"I'm retired now, am I still considered a street urchin?" Hu Meili said confidently, "If I am considered a street urchin, then I was led astray by you. All four of you, one by one, are not decent good people."

Lin Xiangnan didn't know how to refute this, so he simply said, "That's right. I led you astray."

"Me again?!" Lin Xiangxi widened his eyes and grumbled aggrievedly, "Mom wasn't a good person to begin with."
