Chapter 32: Little Dumpling Wants to Eat Braised Pork
Ouyang Qin's hand holding the bowl of porridge paused slightly, he raised his head to look at his second brother who was not affected at all, then turned his head to look at the earth wall, then sighed, lowered his head and continued to drink the porridge.
Ouyang Hui heard no movement from the other side of the wall, and felt that his two younger brothers were really incompetent and had bad tempers.
They didn't feel this when they were in the mansion, but once they came out, they became independent and started to no longer treat them as family.
They haven't even split up yet, but they are already taking care of themselves and simply don't take him, the eldest brother, seriously.
After his grandmother spoke, Ouyang Mingqing lowered his head even lower, quickly ate the pancake, and walked out of the house with the cooled soup.
Standing at the doorway, watching the sky grow darker, Ouyang Mingqing said to his younger brother, Ouyang Mingyan, who had followed him out, "Mingyan, let's just take good care of our mother. As for our younger sister, please protect her as long as she's not overdoing it."
"Where are my father and grandparents?"
"Grandma made a scene again and again along the way, but Grandpa said nothing. And Dad, haha, he only cared about himself. He never thought about Mom or us."
Listening to his elder brother's words, fifteen-year-old Ouyang Mingyan also fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Youyou said, "Brother, why won't grandma just stop?"
"Oh, I also want to know this question, but..."
Ouyang Mingqing suddenly stopped talking because he saw his father stand up from the corner of his eye. He was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly realized and thought: His father must want to go to his second uncle and third uncle to pick a fight.
Haha, the whole family has ended up in such a state because of him. It’s good enough that the second uncle and the third uncle have no complaints. Why is he still thinking of exploiting them?
Is this arrogance or a lack of understanding of one's own identity?
Ouyang Mingqing's guess was correct. Ouyang Hui stood up and walked out of the house, ignoring the two brothers, and went straight to the next door.
"Second and third brothers, please don't forget that our Ouyang family has not yet split up. We definitely don't have people like you who only care about yourselves and ignore our father and mother."
Ouyang Jin looked at this so-called elder brother, especially his preaching look, and stood up and looked at him steadily and said: "There is no division of the family. Since there is no division of the family, why did Lord Ouyang and Old Madam Ouyang give you everything?"
"Why can we only eat in the yard, but you can eat together?"
"Why does the old lady only love your daughter? Could it be that your daughter is a golden nugget? Even if she is a golden nugget, she is now an exiled prisoner. Also, I don't have a father, and my mother is no longer alive. If you want to say that I am uneducated, then go talk to my mother."
After saying this, Ouyang Jin intended to ignore Ouyang Hui, but he felt unsatisfied. He looked at him with a dark face and continued, "Your so-called mother not only spent the money that the third brother and I worked so hard to earn, but also wanted to have us killed. Do you think we can go to the government office to discuss this matter?"
"Maybe, by then, my family, including the third brother and I, won't have to be exiled..."
Hearing Ouyang Jin's words, Ouyang Hui was speechless. Although he had not agreed to this matter in the first place, he was the one who contacted those people. If he really went to the government office, based on this fact alone, he would not even have a chance to turn things around in the future.
Ouyang Hui looked at Ouyang Jin who was staring at him with a dark face, and then looked at Ouyang Qin who was sitting on the ground, leaning against the earth wall and looking at him coldly.
He was not sure what the two people were thinking, so he restrained his expression, turned around and left.
Less than a cup of tea after Ouyang Hui left, it started raining.
Watching the rain getting heavier, Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin looked at the yard with some worry. Jiang Yun stood in the corner with her daughter and nephew Ouyang Mingxu, looking anxiously at the yard that had been separated by the rain curtain.
Also anxious were Jiang and Meng Yi from the first wife's house.
Jiang was worried about her two sons who were out collecting firewood, and Meng Yi was not only worried about the people who were out collecting firewood, but also worried about whether the rain would continue.
If it continued to rain, not only would they be forced to stop here, but the road ahead would also become muddy due to the rain, making it even more difficult to walk.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, the person who went out to collect firewood came back.
Although they returned, their condition was not good, especially Ouyang Mingyan, who was carried back by Ouyang Minglou.
Seeing Ouyang Mingyan being carried back by Ouyang Minglou, Jiang's eyes suddenly turned red. She turned her head to look at her eldest son who came in with firewood and said, "Mingqing, what happened to your brother? Did he fall or something?"
Ouyang Mingqing, who had put down the firewood and was helping Mingyan, looked up at his mother and said, "He fell. Luckily, we ran into Minglou and the others, otherwise I would have been the only one to bring Mingyan back and wouldn't have been able to get the firewood."
Hearing that Ouyang Mingyan had fallen, Jiang became anxious and hurried forward to help.
After settling Ouyang Mingyan down, Minglou went back to the next room without stopping.
"Lou'er, how is your second cousin?"
"Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, my second cousin just fell and sprained his ankle. He'll be able to walk after a few days of rest. My eldest aunt and eldest cousin are taking care of him."
Hearing that Ouyang Mingyan had only sprained his ankle, Ouyang Jin and the other three breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes. The rain came suddenly, and it's quite heavy. We won't be able to leave for a while, and the road ahead may become even more difficult."
Ouyang Qin said with some concern: "Yes. If we are delayed here for a few days, we will have to hurry up. If we don't have enough time later, I'm afraid General Meng and his men will make us cross the mountain."
"Climbing the Mountain"
Ouyang Qin looked at the excitement in his nephew and niece's eyes and explained, "Yes. There's a mountain a hundred miles away from the place of exile. I heard that going through that mountain would save a lot of time. Since we're delayed here, and the roads are muddy and difficult to walk on after the rain, I guess we'll go through that mountain."
When Ouyang Mingli heard about the mountain, he looked at his uncle Ouyang Qin with shining eyes and said, "Uncle, is that mountain very big? Are there pheasants, rabbits, and roe deer in the mountain?"
Looking at his youngest nephew, Ouyang Qin smiled and said, "Mingli, you are greedy and want to eat pheasant and rabbit."
"Yes and no. I want to catch some pheasants and make soup for my sister. She's lost a lot of weight in the past half month."
After listening to Ouyang Mingli's words, everyone looked at Ouyang Feiluo who was writing and drawing on the ground with a piece of dry firewood, and then they all felt that it would be best to go up the mountain.
At this time, Ouyang Feiluo was wondering when he could eat braised pork.
She hardly used her mind to check her system backpack anymore, for fear that she would lose control and directly produce a portion of braised pork, which was absolutely unacceptable...
I have meat but can’t eat it. When will this end?
I've been here for over half a month now, and I haven't really eaten meat once. No matter how I look at it, I feel like I'm missing out...
