Knowing that the aspic could be sold, Zheng Yumei became very interested. "Okay, Mom will cook the aspic well and let you sell it for money."
Lin Chuan laughed and said, "Okay, I'll give the money from selling the aspic to my mother."
Zheng Yumei quickly waved her hand, "I don't want it, I feel good enough just to be able to help you."
Everyone was busy, both at home and outside, but despite all that, the family still felt happy and harmonious.
Because this is the day when, under Lin Chuan's leadership, they saw a new life and new hope.
There was plenty of meat at home, so Zheng Yumei stir-fried twice-cooked pork for lunch. In addition, Lin Chuan had leftover braised pork from breakfast, and they all served on the table.
Lin Chuan took two steamed buns, filled them with a lot of twice-cooked pork, and then added two slices of braised pork. Holding the bowl, he said, "You guys eat first, I'm going out for a bit."
Xu Chunmai raised her head and asked, "Dachuan, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find a place to eat."
Zheng Yumei said, "It's quite chilly outside. If you don't eat at home, where are you going to find a place to eat?"
Lin Chuan smiled and said, "It's alright. It's a sunny midday, not too cold."
After saying that, he picked up the bowl, grabbed a small stool from the yard, and went outside.
Lin Chuan walked straight to Wu Chunhua's door and placed the small stool right in the center of the open doorway.
From this vantage point, you can see him perfectly through the window in the room.
Lin Chuan sat on the small stool and began to eat the meat in large bites, then took a big bite of the white steamed bun.
The aroma was irresistible, and the sight of that glistening, oily meat made my mouth water.
Inside the house, Wu Chunhua and the others were having dinner.
Lunch today was pretty much the same as usual; anyway, this is the kind of food Wu Chunhua cooks.
At midday, it's perfect: sweet potato porridge, steamed potatoes, and pickled radishes.
Anyone who sees this stuff every day would feel nauseous.
Especially now, Lin Chuan is eating with great relish at the courtyard gate.
Everyone in the room looked out at the food on the table, but no one could eat.
Lin Fugui slammed his chopsticks on the table with a "bang!" "This wretched child! He got some good stuff, but instead of showing respect to his elders, he ran to the gate of the courtyard. Is he trying to anger his elders to death?"
After saying that, he walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.
Then, everyone else came out as well.
The neighbors saw this and all ran out to see what was going on.
"Da Chuan, what are you doing eating here?" a neighbor asked, peering over the wall as they watched the commotion.
Lin Chuan swallowed what was in his mouth. "The food here is delicious."
Suddenly, everyone came out of the house.
Lin Fugui was the first to speak, shouting, "Lin Chuan, you wretched child, you eat meat and don't even know how to share it with us?"
Lin Chuan laughed immediately, "Oh, Grandpa, listen to what you're saying! You're calling me a wicked child, who am I supposed to be filial to?"
"So, I'm the little devil and you're the old devil? We're from the same clan, we're family anyway."
Lin Fugui was so angry when Lin Chuan retorted that his face turned red and he coughed several times.
Lin Chuan didn't care about any of that and kept stuffing the meat into his mouth. It was so oily and shiny, who could resist it?
These people stared at the meat in Lin Chuan's hand and swallowed hard.
Lin Youfu angrily said, "Lin Chuan, look at the state you're in! No matter what, you've been in this family for so many years, is this how you treat your junior?"
Lin Youfu started lecturing, which Lin Chuan thought was a joke.
"Uncle, stop acting like an elder and spouting nonsense. You elders don't act like elders at all. You don't set a good example for the younger generation. What kind of people do you expect the younger generation to grow up to be? Your wife bullied and insulted my wife while I was home, and you didn't do anything about it?"
Where were you when your wife was scolding my daughter?
"Speaking of which, your wife is really annoying. She just keeps babbling on and on whenever we meet. I'm here to tell you that this mouth isn't just for talking, it's also for eating."
As he spoke, Lin Chuan took another bite of the meat, then squinted his eyes in satisfaction, "Oh, it smells so good! Tell me, why does this meat smell so good?"
Wu Chunhua had never realized before that Lin Chuan was so quick-witted.
He doesn't talk much normally.
Now look what's happened! That foul mouth of hers has made people so angry they're seeing black spots.
"Lin Chuan, get out of here! Get as far away as you can!"
Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes. "Sorry, I don't know how to do this. Could you demonstrate it for me so I can learn?"
Wu Chunhua was so angry she almost fell over backwards. "Lin Chuan, now nobody can control you, huh?!"
Lin Chuan stared at him, took another bite of meat, and then another bite of a white steamed bun.
After a long while, he swallowed what was in his mouth. "What's it to you? This gate belongs to the government, not yours. I'm happy to sit here and eat. My mouth is my own body, and I'm happy to talk."
"You, you..."
"What about me?" Lin Chuan smirked. "That's just how I am. Wu Chunhua, if you've got the guts, shut your damn mouth and don't mess with my wife. My wife is a good person, gentle and kind. If she doesn't scold you, I can't control her. As for why I'm going crazy now, it's all your fault. You want me dead, so I have to find a way to live!"
The group that used to have the upper hand is now rendered speechless by Lin Chuan.
They couldn't stand in the yard watching Lin Chuan perform his eating act anymore, so they all stormed back into the house.
Well, that's great, I don't even need to eat, I'm full of anger.
Lin Youfu sat there, rolling a cigarette as he angrily said, "Why did you provoke them for no reason? Lin Chuan has clearly made money by setting up a stall in the county town. Do you think our relationship is too good now?"
