Chapter 149: Monks Cannot Eat Meat



After dinner the next day,

Lin Shumei took her three cousins, Qibajiuni and Jiuni, to sit on the back of her mother's tricycle, and then waved to her two brothers and Lin Erniu.

"Brothers, take your time. We'll meet you in Xiahe Village~"

As he said this, he stuck out his tongue at the third brother and twitched it several times.

The third brother glared at her angrily. "Girls are so great! When he makes money, he will buy a tricycle and carry all the boys in the village! But he won't let girls touch him!"

Lin Erniu watched the fight between the two siblings with an expressionless face, but his eyes revealed unstoppable envy.

His eldest sister is too much older than him and got married when she was very young. Because they are not born of the same mother, he can't see her except for the necessary New Year holidays when she comes back to visit.

He grew up like the legendary only child, and sometimes he really envied Lin Shu's family, where they grew up together in a lively atmosphere with brothers and sisters.

If nothing had happened that day, his mother would be about to give birth by now, right? He would have a little brother who would babble and bother him, and he wouldn't fight with him for meat, and he would even dig out all his childhood toys for his little brother to play with...

As Lin Erniu walked, he turned his head away and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. He couldn't think or cry, as he was already the only man in the family.

Lin Shu hurried to restrain his brother's impulse to rush forward to show off his Shaolin dog-beating stick after picking up a branch. He turned around and saw the back of Lin Erniu's head and his movements. He was silent for a moment and then opened his mouth dryly to try to find a topic.

"Erniu, you missed it yesterday. The first movie was really good. The Shaolin monks looked so cool when they fought! If you had come to watch it, you could have studied their Kung Fu today."

Lin Erniu lost his composure in a second, and his nasal voice made him laugh and cry.

"I don't want to become a monk, so why should I study their kung fu?" In fact, he climbed onto the roof of his house and sat for a while yesterday. He also watched and listened to the movie "Shaolin Temple". He just didn't want to go to the threshing ground and see the vague expressions from other people.

Before Lin Shugan could respond, Lin Shuchao became excited.

"Why not study it? Once I understand it, I can teach myself and become a Kung Fu master! Then I can become a monk!"

Lin Shugan & Lin Erniu: Huh?

I've never seen such reversed Tiangang logic before. Who learns kung fu first and then becomes a monk? No, this is the wrong point.

"Mom! I heard my third brother say he wants to become a monk again!" The four girls on the tricycle in front weighed more than 200 pounds. Chen Chunhua rode slowly and was not far away from the three boys here. Lin Shumei had sharp ears and complained immediately when she heard it.

Chen Chunhua pedaled the tricycle and shouted slowly, "Lin Shuchao, you didn't feel satisfied with the beating your father gave you yesterday, so you're itching for trouble again, right?" Whose kid shouts that he wants to be a monk every day?

But honestly speaking, when Lin Guoqing beat his children, it was not right. He only beat the third child. He always used his own palms to hit his buttocks. It doesn't hurt that much if you think about it.

"I didn't!" When the youngest brother heard his father's name, he jumped three feet high, and then looked at his younger sister and became even angrier.

"Lin Shumei, you're a snitch! Wow! I have an irreconcilable feud with you!"

Lin Shu quickly covered his eyes, feeling extremely embarrassed. "You illiterate guy, is this how this idiom is used?"

"From now on I won't share the candy I buy with you!"

Lin Shumei pouted, "If you don't want to share, then don't share. I'll buy it myself! I won't share it with you!"

"Humph! You're a snitch! You'll get into trouble if you meddle in other people's business!"

"You're the one who eats ass! You're going to be a monk, so you don't have to eat meat anymore. It all belongs to me!"

The third brother was about to say something when he suddenly stopped and the sound got stuck in his throat. Then he turned to look at his two brothers in fear and asked,

"Monks can't eat meat?"

Lin Shugan nodded as a matter of course, "Yes, didn't you watch a movie yesterday? You can't kill any living things, you can only eat vegetarian food, chicken, duck, goose, pork, fish, shrimp, and crab are not allowed either."

Lin Shuchao:!!!

The dream of becoming a monk was officially shattered before it lasted 24 hours.

There is a large parade ground in Xiahe Village. In the past, the villagers would go there for militia training. Now it is used for activities and can accommodate many people for watching movies.

After Chen Chunhua parked the tricycle, she carried her basket and followed the children, walking slowly. However, Qi Ni went ahead to find her elder and second sisters.

Oh yes, Ma Erni also married in Xiahe Village. Her husband’s surname is Zhao, and it was Dani and her husband who acted as matchmakers.

When Dani got married, she realized that the adults in her family were not reliable at all. In order to prevent Erni from getting married casually, she was busy living her own life while looking around for any good young men nearby who could be introduced to Erni.

Zhao Degang's eldest brother, Zhao Yonggang, worked at the silk factory, managing the warehouse and handling incoming and outgoing goods. Open flames and smoking were forbidden in the warehouse's restricted areas, so when he had free time, he would often go out and squat with the others, smoking and chatting.

Wang Yong and I are from the same village, but our two families live at the east and west ends of the village respectively. We originally had little interaction, but after arriving at the silk factory, our relationship became closer.

Wang Yong said that his mother-in-law's family had nine beautiful girls and he had eight sisters-in-law. This excited everyone and they all wanted to introduce him to others.

Wang Yong casually said, "Let's go, let's go." His wife is the oldest, and the younger sisters are only a few years old. If they line up, only one of them is old enough to register for marriage.

Zhao Yonggang asked, how old is that person?

Wang Yong: I’m just 20. Boss Zhao, does anyone have someone of similar age you can introduce to me?

Zhao Yonggang: My brother, 22, do you remember him?

Wang Yong really had no impression of it. The Zhao family was too far away and he would never pass by there.

The two had an in-depth discussion about the situations of the two families. The Zhao family has three siblings. The eldest is Zhao Yonggang. Two years ago, he asked the village for land and divided it out to build houses. The second oldest is Zhao Degang and the youngest is Zhao Linghua.

Their family doesn't have much land, and it's all cultivated by the parents of the three siblings. The younger sister already works in a textile factory, and Zhao Degang works in a fertilizer factory. The family has a simple population and harmonious relationships, and no one is idle and eating for free. These conditions are really good!

Dani was really tempted when she heard that, but then she thought, with such good conditions, wouldn't anyone introduce her to someone? Maybe he didn't like her family?

Wang Yong asked Zhao Yonggang the same question at that time. Zhao Yonggang did not hide it and told him directly that his brother was not tall, looked average, and was a bit dark. His facial features were really not very presentable.

Moreover, the Ma family does not have much money, but they are not that bad. Ma Dexiang is a village official after all, and he was elected as the village party secretary this year. But before Erni got married, he was at least the village security director, and his reputation outside is not as bad as Dani thinks!
