"Second Uncle, it's you!"
Liang Shuyan was silent for a moment. Why was Jin Wang here at this time? That ungrateful wretch must have run out of food at home, so he came looking for something to eat.
Jin Wang sniffed the air and said, "What kind of aromatherapy pot do you have? It smells so good. Let Uncle come in. We can talk things out inside. We're all family."
Liang Shuyan said coldly, "Wait! If you have something to say, say it here. If you have nothing else to say, then hurry up and leave. Can't you see there's a dog in front of my house?"
Jin Wang, seemingly unaware of the large black dog by the door, circled around and asked, "Dog? Where's the dog?"
It's possible that Dahei was sleeping when Jinwang arrived and didn't see him. But now that it heard Liang Shuyan's voice, it put its two fat front paws directly on Jinwang's shoulders. Jinwang was so frightened that he screamed for his parents and collapsed to the ground.
Jin Dashan panicked and grabbed Liang Shuyan's arm: "Mom, this Dahei is so fierce, it scared my second uncle to death in one go, what should we do?"
Liang Shuyan slowly walked out: "Hmph, your second uncle deserves to be scared by Ben Chi Dahei, otherwise he would have broken our doorstep by now."
Li Lanfang heard Dashan talking to his mother in the courtyard and quickly came out: "What's wrong? Dashan, Grandma thinks she heard your second uncle's voice?"
Da Shan's face was pale, and he kept twisting the hem of his clothes with his hands: "Grandma, my second uncle has fainted from fright, please take a look."
Li Lanfang still carried the original owner's emotions within her body. Upon hearing that it was Jin Wang, she quickly walked over and pointed at Jin Wang on the ground, saying, "Liang Shuyan, how could you be so heartless? He, he is still the child's second uncle!"
Liang Shuyan snorted coldly: "Mother, think about how he and his wife have treated you all this time. Why are you so soft-hearted now? Or are you going to go with Jin Wang?"
Li Lanfang's eyes bulged: "You, how could you say such a thing? You caught a wolf out of the blue, just to leave Lao Er behind? No matter what, he's my son! You heartless woman!"
Liang Shuyan felt that something must have gone wrong, otherwise why would the old lady talk like that?
Jinwang then got up and cried out, "Mother, Jinwang just wanted to come and see you! Look at this mountain mother, she actually sent a wolf to bite me! Son, I'm so wronged, Mother!"
Jin Wang is quite the actor; he made the old lady sob sadly.
"Dashan, come here quickly and help your second uncle up. Let's go inside and talk. Look how thin he's become these days. My poor son, come inside quickly!"
Jin Dashan glanced at Li Lanfang, then stepped forward to help Jin Wang up, and followed the old lady into the main house.
Liang Shuyan couldn't understand the old lady's situation. Was the same thing that happened last time going to happen again?
"Dashan, tell your mother to hurry up and cook, your second uncle is hungry!" Look at this old lady, she's not her mother anymore, she's clearly the original owner of this body!
Liang Shuyan heard this but ignored it and angrily went into the kitchen.
There was some meat on the kitchen cutting board. Zhang's eyes were fixed on her mother-in-law: "Mother, tell me, what's wrong with my grandmother?"
"Who knows? This big black dog is strange. Is it just a scary dog that can't guard the door?"
Zhang hurriedly brought over a small bamboo stool and let her mother-in-law sit down: "Mother, it won't happen. Dahei is still so small. Besides, we just caught him today. He'll be fine in a few days."
The rice was cooked, and Liu removed the firewood from the stove, angrily saying, "Grandma, why don't you ask who's in charge here? Just because she gives food to Second Uncle, does that mean we have to give it to him too? Why should we? Second Uncle is lazy and good-for-nothing; who doesn't hate him?"
Liang Shuyan glanced at Liu Shi and said with a stern face, "Alright, Jinwang is your second uncle. Even Erniu didn't say that. How can you say that about your second uncle? No matter what your grandmother is like, the affairs of your elders have nothing to do with you, understand?"
Liu didn't dare to speak. She cut a potato into shreds, placed it on a plate, poured some water on top, and stirred it a couple of times with chopsticks.
Following her mother-in-law's instructions, she stir-fried some shredded potatoes and topped them with some chopped wild chili peppers.
"It'll kill you with spice! When Grandma lived with them, he wouldn't let her eat it. Now that he's come to our house, he's clearly just trying to freeload, and he says he's visiting Grandma?"
As she busied herself, Liu kept muttering to herself.
The meal was ready, and the two daughters-in-law had already set out the bowls and chopsticks. Liu's face twisted with disgust, and Zhang understood what Liu meant. She turned around and went to the main room to call the old lady and Jinwang to eat.
Li Lanfang slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "I'm not going anywhere today. Bring us the food, and I'll eat and chat with your second uncle."
Zhang nodded softly, "Yes, Grandma!"
Zhang did not tell her mother-in-law the old lady's exact words, but only said that the old lady wanted to have dinner with her second uncle in the main house.
Liang Shuyan didn't say anything. She scooped out her homemade "rolled mountain meat" and placed it on a plate.
This "Rolling Mountain Meat" is actually derived from "Rolling Knife Meat," but Liang Shuyan cuts the meat into a mountain-like shape according to her own preference, fries it in oil, and then stews it. It is tender, delicious, and has a honey-scented aroma. It is also sprinkled with some wild mountain peppers and chopped green onions as a garnish.
“Leave these for us, and take the rest to your grandma and your second uncle. Give your second uncle a lot more rice. The rest of you eat here and don’t disturb your grandma and your second uncle’s reunion.”
Zhang nodded.
Zhao Dashan happened to walk in, glanced at the food allocated to the main room, and without saying a word, took it over.
Just as they reached the door, Jin Wang said, "Mother, please help your son! My wife has gone back to her parents' home, and I have nowhere to eat now. I'm afraid I'll have to eat here for the time being."
Li Lanfang seemed to suddenly understand, her eyes widening: "What? Jinwang, you mean you want to eat and drink at our house? Let me tell you, don't even think about it. In this house, Dashan's mother is in charge!"
Jin Dashan heard it clearly, and at this moment, the old lady seemed to have become a different person. She suddenly said, "Forget it, let's leave it at that. I'm worried about you going back. How about this, you stay here. You can rest assured with the help of your two nieces-in-law who will cook for you!"
Zhao Dashan abruptly flung open the curtain and said angrily, "Grandma, this matter is so important, how could you not tell my mother?"
"Your mother, your mother is just the daughter-in-law of the Jin family, I am the ancestor of the Jin family!"
