"It's not a big deal, why keep asking? Wouldn't it be better if your sister-in-law got along better with our mother? Or do you want those two to be like some other family in our village, always arguing?"
Lin Chaobei absolutely refused to admit it, shaking his head frantically. He didn't think that way; he was just a little curious.
Lin Chaodong snorted, displaying the air of an elder brother.
Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to ask again; he was afraid that if he asked again, his wife wouldn't tell him, and he would lose face in front of his two younger brothers. So he figured it was better not to ask in the first place.
Anyway, at night, when everything is quiet, he has plenty of ways to get her to tell him!
"Mom, the lard is ready. What's next?"
Liu started knocking on the door again.
"Put some away first, and add it to the stir-fries these next couple of days. As for what to make, I'll think about it later."
She wasn't saying "think about it some more," she was clearly saying "look for it some more."
"Oh, okay, Mother."
Liu was a little disappointed, thinking that her mother-in-law was going to use the lard to make something to make money, but she didn't expect it was just for food.
Forget it, she should just continue sewing. The sooner she finishes, the better, so she won't have to worry about it every day.
Yue Jiuyue, inside the house, was overwhelmed by the choices.
It's not that there are too many things to choose from, but rather that my eyes are getting dizzy and blurry from looking at the mall screen for too long.
Yue Jiuyue rubbed her eyes. She decided not to look for glasses today; her eyes were too tired. She didn't want to become nearsighted too early, and there were no glasses for her to wear here.
After doing some eye exercises, Yue Jiuyue opened the door and went to stand by the lake.
"Mother, why are you suddenly so close to my sister-in-law?"
Still not giving up on this issue, Lin Chaobei immediately went up to Yue Jiuyue and asked her when he saw her come out.
"Huh? Is that okay? I don't feel anything!"
This fourth brother is so clueless! What's the point of asking such a question! It's only because he lives in ancient times and didn't go to school that she would definitely ask him how his grades were!
"Mom, why are you acting just like my sister-in-law? You never tell me the truth!"
Lin Chaodong tugged at Yue Jiuyue's sleeve and acted coquettishly. Yue Jiuyue's eyes immediately stopped feeling dizzy and blurry. At this moment, she just wanted to go back to her room and be alone in peace.
"What are you doing, you grown man!"
Lin Chaodong didn't overhear the answer, and he wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, he would find out that night. It was Lin Chaobei who was so unmanly. He was such a grown man, yet he was still acting like a child towards his mother!
He had forgotten when the last time he acted spoiled towards his mother was; in any case, he had no memory of it.
Why does it make people feel so unbalanced?
He had a wife in front, and a fourth brother behind him, so where did the eldest brother go?
Lin Chaonan was also envious. He had neither a wife nor the fourth brother's thick skin, nor the eldest brother's authority. He was stuck in the middle, neither here nor there, and even his mother could hardly see him.
"Why did you all come here? Why didn't you go back inside and rest properly? You've been out running around all day."
As soon as Yue Jiuyue spoke her words of concern, her three eldest sons were immediately moved to tears, each one wanting to pat their chests and say that it wasn't hard work.
“Selling sweet potatoes isn’t tiring at all. You can just stroll around the streets with a basket on your back, like you’re having a good time.”
This is relative to farm work, especially during the spring planting and autumn harvest season, when people are so busy they wish there were forty-eight hours in a day!
