Lin Jiaojiao patted Lin Jinbao on the shoulder: "Jinbao, listening to you say this, my heart is broken. You have never suffered such torture at home."
Lin Jinbao was so moved that he nodded vigorously.
"But as a man, you should endure hardships to become a superior person. What you described is a very normal phenomenon. Even in school, don't you and your classmates often have conflicts?"
"But they never bully people like this!"
"That's because the conditions aren't tough enough. Jinbao, you're the most sensible. I went through so much trouble to get you here. Think about your ultimate goal."
"I understand, but..."
"That's good to understand. We all come from all corners of the world, and our backgrounds are different, so it's not good to completely tear each other apart, even for the sake of your own future."
Lin Jinbao straightened his back: "Sister, I know!"
Lin Jiaojiao nodded with relief: "But I'm not asking you to be bullied. Next time you encounter such a situation, you must learn to refuse."
“…”
"When you're being treated to a meal, there's no need to take turns. Everyone can split the money equally. Collect the money in advance and then go. The rest can be divided equally later."
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"
What can you think of?
Lin Jiaojiao couldn't help but complain in her heart, but her face was still full of heartache: "As for those who ask you for snacks, it's not easy for everyone. You can just refuse."
"That girl..."
"You can help her call a doctor and contact village officials. You're just ordinary friends, why would you do that for her? Even if you really want to do it, you should clearly state it in black and white."
"Isn't this a bit bad?"
"My dear brother!" Lin Jiaojiao pinched my thigh fiercely while no one was paying attention. Then, with tears in her eyes, she said pitifully, "Actually, there's something I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry."
Seeing his sister crying, Lin Jinbao immediately became anxious: "Sister, what's wrong? Is someone bullying you?"
"Nothing like that! Yes, hey!"
"Sister, please tell me quickly. I'm so anxious."
Seeing that everyone was emotionally aroused, Lin Jiaojiao slowly spoke, "There's actually not much left of the dowry I brought from home."
"Why?"
Lin Jiaojiao's voice began to choke up. "I put on a smile and gave them gifts just to get you to the island. Your brother-in-law is a righteous man. In order to help you have a future, don't you have to worry about everything?"
"Sister, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Seeing that the effect was achieved, Lin Jiaojiao wiped away all the crocodile tears and said earnestly: "So, you should learn to say no. If they are still not satisfied, that's their problem. You only have so few things left at my house. I just feel sorry for you, Jinbao! I just hate myself for not being able to help you at all!"
"Sister, how about this? I'll write a letter to my parents and ask them to mail something over."
"Isn't this a bit bad?"
"What's wrong with that?! Mom wrote to me a few days ago, wanting to send me something. It's hard to get to the island over there, so why not have her mail it here directly?"
"Then... okay."
Lin Jiaojiao didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom and Dad."
"No, they have everything they want over there, and my parents' salaries are not low, much better off than the two of us! Most importantly, when I become successful in the future, I will definitely repay them! And of course, my sister too."
"You're the only one who can talk."
"Everything I said is true, sister. You love me so much, I'm not the kind of person who would be ungrateful! I'm going to check on the vegetable garden."
The more Lin Jinbao looked at Lin Jiaojiao, the more distressed he felt. He rolled up his sleeves and ran to the backyard to weed.
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the back of the man swinging the hoe and sighed softly.
You little bastard, you actually fell for this!
…
That afternoon, Lin Jiaojiao started preparing the ingredients.
Tonight she plans to eat the hot pot she has been dreaming about for a long time.
Bought two copper hot pots from the exchange.
For the clear soup pot, Lin Jiaojiao chose meat and bone soup that had been simmered for a long time, and then slowly simmered mushrooms over low heat to enhance the flavor. Although it was light, it had a unique flavor.
As for the spicy hot pot.
Lin Jiaojiao chose the very distinctive Chongqing hotpot base. In addition to the pepper and aniseed spices purchased outside, she also took out some butter, fermented black beans, and broad beans from the space, put them all into the pot one by one, and simmered them quietly.
The spicy and oniony taste makes your mouth water.
"Sister, what delicious food are you making? Why does it smell so good?"
"You'll know this in a moment!"
“Cough cough cough!”
Although Lin Jinbao thought it smelled delicious, it was also pungent and spicy. As soon as he entered the kitchen door, he was irritated by the smell and started coughing.
Seeing that he was completely out of sorts, Lin Jiaojiao checked the time on her watch and said, "Go ahead and pick Xiaoxue up."
"knew."
Prepare all ingredients.
Lin Jiaojiao went to Aunt Xiuqin's house next door again.
I just left Xiaofeng at their house when I went out. When I came back, I was afraid that the spicy food was too pungent and the child could not adapt to it, so I did not bring him back.
Now is the perfect time.
"Aunt Xiuqin, come to our house for dinner today!"
"How can this be so embarrassing, but what did you do? You could smell the fragrance from far away?"
"hot pot."
"Yeah! You still have the tools to do that!"
"Auntie, please don't be polite to me."
"Okay, then I won't be polite!"
After all, Lin Jiaojiao is making hot pot!
When it gets dark.
Ji Huaian came back with a group of people.
