Whether it was because Lin Chaodong had upset Liu Shi, or because Liu Shi was just being stingy, breakfast consisted of wild vegetable and sweet potato porridge. Although it was salty, this breakfast was far from what Lin Chaobei had been looking forward to, and he couldn't help but complain a bit.
"Sigh! It's back to eating wild vegetables all day long again! Ugh! I miss the taste of chicken so much, I crave chicken soup! I wonder what the spicy rabbit head Mom used to talk about tastes like..."
Liu: ⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
Her brother-in-law told her to her face that her cooking didn't suit her taste, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole!
"Alright, enough food isn't enough to shut you up! Your sister-in-law got up early this morning to cook for us. If you don't want to eat, then don't eat her cooking anymore. Make whatever you want to eat from now on! And chicken legs! Who eats something so greasy first thing in the morning? Do you want to die?"
Yue Jiuyue fired off a barrage of shots at Lin Chaobei, like a machine gun.
She has always believed that whoever cooks should be in charge. No one should work hard to cook a meal only to listen to others complain and criticize it. If you want to cook, then cook it yourself. Otherwise, don't complain.
Yue Jiuyue's protection warmed Liu's heart.
She didn't hold her brother-in-law's words against her anymore, and patiently tried to persuade Yue Jiuyue not to be angry. She then turned to her brother-in-law and told him that she would cook a nice meal for lunch.
This made Lin Chaobei feel embarrassed.
"Hehe, sister-in-law is so nice! Sister-in-law, I just said a few words offhand, please don't mind me. I didn't think it through, I just say things without thinking. I'm really good at cleaning and cooking, but I just don't like vegetables, I only want to eat meat, hehehe!"
Lin Chaobei hurriedly tried to correct himself, fearing that Liu Shi would really stop cooking for him and that his mother would really abandon him. He was worried about how he would survive in the future.
Lin Chaobei's "hehehe" made Liu Shi laugh, and the matter was naturally dropped.
However, Lin Chaodong's reaction made her feel uneasy, which showed that he was also dissatisfied with her cooking. That's why he didn't stop Lin Chaobei when he said those things.
Liu couldn't quite put her finger on whether she was sad or not. However, with her mother-in-law protecting her and having regained control of the household, she was generally in a very good mood today, and her dissatisfaction with Lin Chaodong seemed insignificant.
After all, men in this era are chauvinistic and don't really care what women think or feel. Lin Chaodong's reaction was within the normal range for men.
After breakfast, Liu continued to stay home to look after the children and sort wheat seeds, Lin Chaodong continued to dig caves in the Nanling Mountains, and the remaining three, including Yue Jiuyue, continued to tidy up the terraced fields.
It was another day of sighs and lamentations for Lin Chaobei.
Maintaining terraced fields is such a hassle!
But if it's not cleaned up, the soil will erode, and this land, which was already bad, will only get worse. The quality of the land will decline, and all that money spent will seem worthless. How could Lin Chaobei be willing to do that?
So he kept grumbling while working hard.
Yue Jiuyue tolerated his nagging because he was even more hardworking than Lin Chaonan.
"Fourth brother, are you thirsty?"
Lin Chaonan's sudden voice startled Lin Chaobei, almost causing him to strain his back.
"Hmm, a little."
Lin Chaobei licked his lips as he spoke, completely unaware of the meaning behind Lin Chaonan's words.
