They were hungry, couldn't eat, and didn't dare sit down on the bench. It was really a torture.
Hu Lin curled the corners of his mouth when he saw it.
The reason why she punished them like this was not just to avoid delaying them from going to work.
They have big appetites and like to steal food, so she had to work hard to come up with this method to lose their appetite.
In this way, their appetite will naturally be much smaller.
This punishment will surely be something they will never forget and will also stop them from thinking of stealing again.
She is teaching them how to be decent people. Look how much she cares about them.
After cleaning up after dinner, Li Aihua went up the mountain with her backpack. The people from the Hu family also went to work after dinner, and now she was the only one left at home.
After a nap, Hu Lin went out for a walk.
She was looking for those little guys.
But after searching the village in front and the village behind, he still didn't see anyone. Hu Lin couldn't help but suspect that those kids had all gone home and hidden.
It seems that these little brats cannot be dealt with in a short period of time.
Hu Lin turned around and slowly went to the health room to get the injection.
After Li Aihua finished digging wild vegetables and came down the mountain, she put the backpack back home and hurried to the health center to pick up Hu Lin.
Hu Lin still gave Li Aihua a cup of water mixed with nutritional supplements, and then the two hurried home to cook.
We had dumpling soup in the evening, and after the meal Hu Chunsheng called everyone over.
Everyone had different expressions for a moment.
She had a good reason last night, so even if Hu Chunsheng wanted to get angry, he shouldn't have done it so quickly.
As Hu Lin was thinking, Li Aihua beside him nervously held Hu Lin's hand.
She now completely regards Hu Lin as her backbone, and would get close to him whenever there is any sign of trouble.
"In order to prevent what happened last night from happening again, all the food in the house will be distributed by Zhaodi from now on.
Zhaodi would allocate what to eat and how much to eat for each meal in advance before cooking.
If the incident like yesterday happens again, you will all be in trouble."
After Hu Chunsheng finished speaking, he went back to the house, leaving Cao Zhaodi looking at Hu Lin triumphantly.
Hu Lin ignored her and pulled Li Aihua away.
The old couple is establishing their prestige.
As soon as the two entered the kitchen, Cao Zhaodi followed in with a lock in her hand and locked both the upper and lower layers of the chest of drawers in front of them.
When he left, he looked at the two of them provocatively.
Li Aihua huddled behind Hu Lin. The fear from within made her dare not look directly at Cao Zhaodi.
After the people left for a while, Li Aihua was washing the dishes with a loofah and asked hesitantly, "Girl, will we still be hungry in the future?"
Being hungry is such a miserable feeling.
"You're worried about that. Were you often hungry before?"
Li Aihua began to have doubts, which was a good thing, because it meant that she started to think with her brain.
"Occasionally, but most of the time I'm not full." Li Aihua answered honestly.
Hu Lin looked up at the skinny man with sunken eye sockets and said, "Don't worry, you won't be hungry anymore."
If she hadn't come here, with Li Aihua's body, who knows how many more years she could have survived.
By then, everything they wish for will come true.
The neighbors can also sympathize with Hu Xiaoyi. His daughter lost her mother at a young age, and he remarried for the sake of his child.
Was this their idea from the beginning?
But at this point, none of this matters.
She is here, Li Aihua is here.
"When was the last time?"
"On the day you got into trouble, I said I knew it was raining and thundering, but I didn't see you come back, and I didn't go looking for you, which is why you got into trouble.
So they punished me by not allowing me to eat and making me keep vigil for you."
"Worse than a beast."
Even at that time, he still didn't forget to make things difficult for Li Aihua.
But yeah, that's the kind of people they are.
He also planned to send her back to her parents' home, take back the betrothal gifts, and let Hu Xiaoyi marry her again.
"Yesterday's incident damaged their authority at home, so they hurried to make up for it today." Hu Lin explained to Li Aihua, with the intention of teaching her.
Talking on paper is far inferior to on-site teaching.
"What is majesty?"
Li Aihua has never been literate and has never been taught by anyone. Everything she knows comes from the people around her.
What she experienced over the years has made her stagnate, and she has not had any contact with other people. She was ignorant and confused about what Hu Lin said, just like a child.
“To put it simply, it makes people unconsciously feel fear and awe, just like you would unconsciously feel fear when you meet Cao Zhaodi.
This is majesty, and its purpose is to make everyone convinced and obedient.
Her frequent beating and scolding of you is not only because she doesn't like you, but also a way to make you listen to her more.
There are many kinds of majesty. What Hu Xiaoyi said just now is one of the means. The same is true of what I did last night.
Awe and fear are the most direct and effective ways to prevent yourself from being bullied."
Hu Lin told the story slowly.
"So powerful, then you, my girl, will have your own dignity too." Li Aihua was a little excited.
"Yeah." Hu Lin responded with disgust.
The Hu family's majesty is nothing, she doesn't care about it at all, but it is useful to her now!
It's really like a tiger in trouble and a dragon stranded.
There is no point in saying more, let’s just take it one step at a time.
"That's great! My daughter is so awesome!" Li Aihua was so proud and excited that her face brightened up.
"If you want, you can be as good as me in the future." Hu Lin took every opportunity to instill his ideas into her mind.
Seeing this, Li Aihua lowered her head and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Hu Lin didn't say much.

The next day, there was finally news about the girl from the Zhang family that Dr. Zhao had been looking for.
"Your cousin has such high standards! He actually falls in love with the daughter of Zhang Mazi." Doctor Zhao exclaimed as he entered the room.
These days he went to the big tree at the entrance of the village every day to chat with people, which made him very tired.
"What do you mean?" Hu Lin was standing in the room receiving an IV drip and turned his head to look at the person who came in.
"His family has very high requirements. They want all three major things, and they also need betrothal gifts and betrothal gifts. It will cost a lot of money to marry a girl from the Zhang family."
"I asked you to inquire about someone, why are you saying these things?" Hu Lin was speechless.
"I'm just curious, are your grandparents really willing to spend so much money to help your second cousin get married?
It will cost at least a hundred yuan to get this done. How can you afford that much money? Your family is supporting four children in school!"
Dr. Zhao's gossipy mind was aroused again.
"Guess." No one knew how much compensation the Yang family had received, and Dr. Zhao couldn't imagine it even if he tried his best.
"I didn't expect the Hu family to be so rich." Doctor Zhao was stunned.
Hu Lin didn't say anything.
Doctor Zhao came back to his senses and talked about the girl from the Zhang family, "This girl is very pretty, she is good at both housework and outside, and she looks like she will be able to give birth easily.
She is warm and generous, and a little spoiled, but that's not a big problem.
After all, the Zhang family is capable and has a large surplus of grain in the village. They have two children, a boy and a girl, so they naturally raised their daughter in a more affluent way.”
