Chapter 3 A dog is better than you in command...
"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. If you don't like it, please feel free to do as you please. You are not welcome in my pigsty or doghouse." Lin Shiqi retorted.
Zhou Lang is such an annoying person.
She did leave without packing, but it wasn't like a pigsty.
"Tsk! If you're not welcome, then you're not welcome."
Zhou Lang was ready to turn around and leave.
He has returned to the modern era, but he still refuses to leave and stays here as a door god?
When the two entered the house, they were still in the process of putting the two love locks together.
Now Zhou Lang turned around and left, and the love lock was separated.
The surrounding scene began to shake.
Lin Shiqi had a bad feeling and only had time to take a banana from the fruit plate on the table.
The next moment,
The two returned to the dilapidated mud house.
Back to Lao Zhou’s house!
Lin Shiqi was holding a banana in his hand.
Zhou Lang got a big apple in his hand.
"You bastard Zhou Lang! Can you do this?"
Zhou Lang had done something wrong, and he felt guilty for a rare time. "Try again, this time doesn't count."
"This lock should not be separated, otherwise it will fall apart." Lin Shiqi quickly finished the banana.
The apple in Zhou Lang's hand also turned into an apple core.
…
Next, the two continued to fight.
However, no matter how many times I tried, the love lock did not respond at all.
"It seems that the trigger is conditional and will not be effective at any time."
"Hand-held love locks are easy to separate. Let's try tying them together with a rope. If the love locks don't separate, we don't have to be together all the time..."
"good."
All the details have been worked out.
Just wait for the next time when the heart-locks are put together, and then another miracle will happen.
Suddenly, the cursing voice of Mrs. Zhou came from the yard, "Old Fourth's family? Why don't you come out and wash the dishes? It takes you so long to feed a meal, and you are so slow to do things. What's the use of you? You can use a dog better than you..."
This is the most vicious Mrs. Zhou in the book!
The protagonist's childhood inner demon.
The one who has the power of life and death over the Zhou family.
Lin Shiqi didn't dare to offend, and responded with ease, "Coming! Mom."
Then, he ate the bowl of coarse grain rice in three or two mouthfuls.
Like fallen leaves swept away by a strong wind, not a single bite was left for Zhou Lang.
How dare he, a grown man, grab food from her! Haha, he'll starve to death...
Zhou Lang...
He ate the apple and he was no longer hungry!
Lin Shiqi happily packed up the dishes and went out.
In the first two days after traveling through time, I felt uncomfortable when I learned about her situation.
Now she found hope of returning home.
Especially since there was this unlucky guy named Zhou Lang who also came through.
This is great, if I die I'll have someone to take with me.
As for the miserable ending of their four families in the book?
Don't panic, Zhou Lang is right. No matter how powerful Zhou Qinan is now, he is just a little kid. Maybe he can be won back with a gentle policy...
Now the most important thing is to be able to eat openly.
***
Lin Shiqi took the empty bowl to the kitchen, and sure enough, there were only some leftovers on the table.
Everyone else left, leaving only Mrs. Zhou with a squinted eye, disliking Lin Shiqi anyway.
Also, Zhou Laosan’s wife, Liu, was cleaning the table.
After Mrs. Zhou scolded Lin Shiqi for a while, she said to Liu, "Let her come, you go back to your room and take care of the two little ones..."
Liu was a young wife, thin and with pretty features.
She was dressed neatly and capablely, with a stubborn look in her eyes.
Liu smiled and said, "Then I will listen to mother and go back to take care of the little one. Fourth sister-in-law, please clean up the dishes."
The Zhou family has a large population, with four daughters-in-law, so there is a division of labor in cooking and housework every day. Today the first and second daughters-in-law will cook, and tomorrow it will be the turn of the third and fourth daughters-in-law to cook, and the order is arranged like this.
Each room has to wash its own clothes, and is responsible for all the chores such as cooking, cleaning, and feeding the chickens and pigs.
I have to say here that the book describes Mrs. Zhou as domineering, vicious and cruel, and she only bullies the first wife, but this is not true.
After two days of understanding, Lin Shiqi found that Mrs. Zhou was quite fair in assigning tasks.
…
Today it is the turn of the third and fourth rooms to cook.
Therefore, the first and second wives left after dinner, and it was Liu and Lin Shiqi who were responsible for cooking and cleaning up.
Whenever it was time for the third and fourth rooms to cook, it was Liu who would cook the dishes and stew the rice. She was a skillful woman and her cooking skills were also good, so she was the one who took charge.
Lin Shiqi helped her by lighting the fire, washing vegetables, and clearing the dishes.
"Sister-in-law will cook and I will wash the dishes. That's my duty. Sister-in-law, go get busy!"
This made both Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu a little suspicious.
The fourth son’s wife has always been a wooden person, she doesn’t talk much and rarely smiles. Did the sun rise from the west today?
You can even say polite words?
Lin Shiqi doesn't care what others think.
While humming a little tune, he cleaned up the dishes.
The Zhou family's kitchen was shabby. In the front was the stove, where they cooked and frying food, and in the back was where dry firewood and straw were stored.
After Lin Shiqi finished washing the dishes, he went to the kitchen at the back to find some dry straw, tied it into a strong rope, and used it to tie a love knot.
At first I was going to look for a hemp rope, but then I thought about it.
In this poor and remote area, a piece of hemp rope must be treasured like a treasure and not easy to find.
It’s better to make do with dry straw ropes for now.
Suddenly, a woman in sky blue floral clothes walked in with a smile on her face.
"Fourth sister-in-law, have you eaten yet?"
He greeted Lin Shiqi in a friendly tone.
This is Wang, the wife of the eldest son of the Zhou family, and also the mother of the male protagonist Zhou Qinan in the book!
This woman looked very frail and usually wore a cloth towel on her head. She said she had headaches and could not stand the wind or do heavy work.
She always smiles when she sees people. The book describes her in a very positive way. She loves Zhou Qinan very much and is willing to do anything for this son.
"Sister-in-law." Lin Shiqi quickly replied, "I've eaten."
Wang, who was wearing a flowered dress, smiled and said, "What's wrong with you eating leftovers every day? Mother doesn't leave any food for you. You'll suffer the consequences if you see it. Here, I'll give it to you."
As he said this, he took out a small ball of rice from his arms.
Still hot.
This should be the half piece that she hid while eating just now.
Lin Shiqi looked flattered, "Sister-in-law, this..."
"Eat. Look how thin you are. Your chin has become pointed. You look so pitiful." Wang said lovingly.
When it comes to food, Lin Shiqi has no moral principles.
Welcome everyone.
"Thank you very much, sister-in-law."
Wang said, "Fourth brother's wife, you have been hungry and cold for so many years, and you have to take care of a fool husband. I am sorry for putting you in trouble."
Lin Shiqi replied modestly, "It's what I should do."
Alarm bells started ringing in my head.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
She is the one who has the memories of the original owner. Her sister-in-law Wang rarely looks at her straight in the eye and looks down on her as a silly daughter-in-law.
The book describes Wang as a loving mother who always thinks about her son Zhou Qinan.
