"Isn't this a good thing?" Old Mrs. Huang was even more puzzled. "If the Qin family refuses to leave, then you should be worried."
The Qin family is like leeches, sucking blood from whoever they can get their hands on. They've been staying at the Huang family's place for so long that the old lady is worried her family will collapse.
“This is not normal,” Huang’s wife sighed, and continued, “Every time they come, they search our house thoroughly before leaving. This time they left so decisively. Who knows what they are planning? My daughter-in-law just asked, and Dashan is indeed going to take Qin Shi away.”
"Let her accept it," the old lady said casually, squinting her eyes. "It's only a matter of time. You can't stop her for long, no matter how hard you try. Qin Shi hasn't had a day off, she's still the Huang family's daughter-in-law."
Although she also disapproved, there was nothing she could do; the men in her family had already made the decision.
"If only that were the case," said Sister-in-law Huang, distressed. "We couldn't bring them back last time, who knows what kind of trouble will arise this time."
Her heart had been pounding ever since she left the Qin family; she always felt that something bad was going to happen.
She was so annoyed that she wanted to break her son's legs and lock him at home so he wouldn't go out.
"Then we'll be careful," Grandma Huang said dismissively. "The kids in Dashan aren't very clever. As long as we're careful, nothing serious will happen."
"That makes sense, but I still don't feel confident."
"Worrying makes you confused. Drink some honey water and get a good night's sleep. Don't think too much. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."
"Um!"
Despite saying that, Sister-in-law Huang had no desire to sleep. She tossed and turned, straining her ears to listen to the sounds coming from the yard.
Suddenly I heard a creak, so I ran downstairs and peeked through the crack in the door. Sure enough, my son was bending over as he went out.
"That brat, I knew he wouldn't be honest!"
Looking at Huang Shi, who was sleeping like a log, he stomped his feet in anger, but could only wait for his son to hitch up the cart and go out to deliver the message.
The Huang family was sleeping soundly, especially Huang Xiaosi and Xiaopang.
They thought the surveillance would have to wait until daytime and didn't take it seriously at all.
The knocking on the door went on for quite a while before the family was finally woken up.
"Who is it?" Huang Lao Er muttered in confusion. "Why are you knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"
"Little Tree, it's Auntie. Please wake up Little Si and Little Fatty. Your cousin is leaving."
She paused for a moment, then added, "Hurry up, or we won't be able to catch up."
"Oh, oh." Upon hearing this, Huang Lao Er didn't even bother to open the door and quickly woke the person up.
Inside the room, the two little ones were sleeping soundly with drool dripping from their mouths. It took Huang Lao Er kicking them awake, one of them at a time. "Get up, Auntie is here."
"What?" Xiao Si rubbed his eyes, still half asleep. "What does her coming over have to do with me?"
He then lay down and closed his eyes again.
"Have you forgotten what you promised during the day? Get up now!"
"Oh no, really?" Huang Xiaosi sat up, looking incredulous. "Stalking people in the middle of the night?"
"Nonsense! They're already at the door, hurry up."
"Okay!" He patted his head, put on his clothes, and got out of bed.
In the main hall, the Huang family members, who had been woken up, all gathered together, and Huang's eldest sister-in-law was also invited in.
“It’s late at night, it’s not safe for Xiao Si and Xiao Pang,” Jiang Nuan tapped the table thoughtfully. “You brothers don’t have anything important to do tomorrow, so if you go with them, you can look out for each other if something happens.”
"It was my oversight," Sister-in-law Huang said with remorse. "I only thought about Xiao Si Xiao, which made people less wary. I forgot that this matter was risky."
She never expected that her son would sneak away in the middle of the night.
“That’s right,” Huang Laosan agreed. “It’s really not appropriate for the two of them to go. Mother, you talk to me, I’ll go get the cart.”
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble," Sister-in-law Huang said, lowering her eyes. "Once this is over, I'll have Dashan come over and apologize."
"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. Family members should support each other. This is just a small matter, don't worry about it."
“This is no small matter. It’s the middle of the night, and there are mountains everywhere. What if some wild animal comes down?” Sister-in-law Huang was anxious and angry, wishing she could grab her son and beat him up. “What if something happens?”
She was worried not only about her nephew, but also about her son.
"How about," Jiang Nuan suggested softly, "we stop the mountain first?"
“No,” Sister-in-law Huang said, pursing her lips. “If we stop him this time, what will we do next time? We can’t keep an eye on him all the time. There are so many things to do at home, we don’t have time to play along with his nonsense.”
Indeed, in Sister-in-law Huang's eyes, her son was just being silly.
Like a child who hasn't grown up, he's annoyingly bearish.
“That’s true,” Jiang Nuan sighed, “We really can’t keep indulging his nonsense.”
While the two were talking, Huang Xiaosan from the cowshed pleaded with Xiao Liu, "Brother Xiao Liu, please, let's not make trouble, okay?"
Ever since we cooked beef at home, this thing has been acting up, but we haven't had a chance to use it, so we've just let it be.
He thought that no matter how angry he was, he would calm down in a few days, but now he's started making a fuss again. He thought this whole thing was over.
She was perfectly fine during the day, so why did she suddenly become so temperamental again?
Moo!
Don't disturb my sleep.
"Xiao Liu," he rubbed his forehead, looking exasperated, "you can't stop everyone from eating beef just because you're a cow."
Moo!
Huang Xiaoliu looked at Huang Xiaosan with a hint of disdain.
You idiot, you still want to fool Sixth Master? Why don't you eat your own flesh!
Miraculously, Huang Xiaosan understood something from Xiao Liu's disdainful look.
Instantly, his face turned completely black.
This dead ox is getting harder and harder to deal with.
"Alright, alright," he said, conceding. "From now on, you'll be home, and we won't be eating beef at home."
Moo!
With a light thud, the ox gracefully and playfully raised its hoof, proudly lifted its head, and slowly walked away, leaving Huang Xiaosan with a captivating ox tail.
It knew that it could only achieve this through its own efforts and that it would have to fight for it for a long time.
See, it's done now.
Moo!
From then on, there was no beef without Sixth Master, and no beef without Sixth Master.
After Huang Lao Er hitched up the car and went back, he told the whole family about it, and the hall fell silent.
"This is terrible!" Sister Huang clutched her chest, feeling her heart pounding faster and faster. "This cow has really become a spirit!"
The big cat at the old house is also intelligent, but not as clever as it is. It doesn't seem to notice when we eat beef in front of it. In fact, it eats its hay even more happily than before, surrounded by the smell of beef in the yard.
“That’s an exaggeration, it’s not that serious,” Jiang Nuan shook her head. “When Xiao Liu first came to our house, it was not very obedient. My second brother said he would kill it and make beef hot pot. It remembered that and that’s why it’s so averse to beef.”
To be honest, Jiang Nuan hadn't thought much about it when she made the beef. Who knew that Xiao Liu would suddenly throw a tantrum? Putting herself in Xiao Liu's shoes, she realized that it was indeed a bit cruel.
Therefore, most of the beef was given away that day, and the family only had one beef hot pot meal to try it out.
