Many hands make light work. Lin Jianfang didn't have much stuff, so she finished cleaning up in no time. Lin Xi picked out the less desirable items and threw them into the fire.
Seeing Junzi grit his teeth in anger, but seeing that there were many of them, he didn't dare to make a move. This kind of man is definitely a bully at home. He can be quite ruthless to his own woman, but he can't be ruthless to outsiders.
Lin Xi was incredibly ruthless; she took everything that belonged to Lin Jianfang, just as Lin Jianguo had said. She didn't leave them even a needle.
After the fire was extinguished, Lin Xi considerately asked someone to pour a bucket of water on it, and shouted to the onlookers, "Everyone, watch carefully, we've put out the fire, so that if their house catches fire or something happens, they won't blame us."
After finishing everything, Lin Xi was also tired. She stood up and directed them to go back. Before leaving, she reminded Junzi again: "I already said, it's a thousand yuan. My aunt is getting a divorce. Otherwise, you can expect the police to come knocking on your door. Bye-bye, don't see me off."
Seeing that Lin Xi didn't seem to be lying, Junzi looked at his mother, unsure whether he should take the thousand yuan. If he did, he would feel too unwilling, as it was not a small amount, and the family was about to have another baby, so there would be many expenses.
The old woman gestured to Junzi to hold back: "Let her sue. Every family has its ups and downs. No one's life is smooth sailing. Let's see how capable she is. Son, we're not afraid of her."
Lin Xi had already reached the door when she heard the old woman deliberately raising her voice. Lin Xi didn't care at all. These kinds of people would only know fear when the facts were laid out in front of them. Anyway, she had plenty of ways to deal with them later.
"Old woman, you'd better hurry up and find someone, or your son will be in jail before you have time to find anyone, and that would be a laughing stock, hahaha."
“Don’t be arrogant, we’re not afraid of you. Son, let’s go ask your uncle’s third aunt’s sister’s brother-in-law and ask him to help us out and see who’s going to jail.”
"Okay, I'll wait and see. Aunt, Dad, Mom, let's go too. They'll have their day."
"Let's go. Don't stay here any longer. Take care of your health."
"Okay, Mom, I know. I want to eat wontons from town. Let's go eat wontons!"
"Okay, if you want to eat, then let's go eat. After we leave, we won't be able to taste the flavors here anymore."
A group of people, carrying Lin Jianfang's dowry, temporarily placed it at Lin Xi's house.
Lin Jianfang felt very embarrassed. As a married woman, it was already annoying enough for her to live at her parents' house, let alone live at her brother's house.
Lin Xi casually took her hand and said, "Auntie, you're overthinking it. We're all family. If we ignored you when you were in trouble, what kind of family would we be? Just stay here and relax, okay, Mom?"
“That’s right, Jianfang, you should stay here. Our place is big and it won’t be crowded.”
Lin Jianfang was moved to tears, her heart warmed. At such a time, the understanding and help from her family gave her a lot of warmth.
Lin Xi took Lin Jianfang's arm and said, "Alright, Auntie, don't think about it so much. Let's go eat wontons. My stomach is growling."
"You little glutton, don't show off in front of your brother when you get home, or he'll start complaining about not taking him out again."
"I know, Mom, I won't tell my brother."
Little Lin Lin is so envious of his older sister, who gets to eat delicious food every day and doesn't have to go to school. But Lin Xi always has to show off in front of him, which makes him so angry that he throws a tantrum in front of Jiang's mother, refusing to go to school anymore.
Lin Jianguo was busy with the shop's business, so only the three of them went to eat wontons.
Sitting in her usual spot at the wonton stall, Lin Xi ordered three bowls of wontons with thin wrappers and plenty of filling, as usual. The old lady selling the wontons recognized her and greeted her warmly: "Little girl, it's been a while since you've been here, hasn't it?"
"Grandma, I went to school and just got back. I couldn't wait to eat your wontons!"
“Going to school is good. Our generation suffered because we didn’t go to school. Little girl, you must study hard. Come back and sit down if you want to eat wontons. Grandma is still running a stall.”
Lin Xi nodded and said obediently, "I meant Grandma, and... my wontons. I've been craving them for so long."
"Oh dear, look at this old woman of mine, I've been so busy chatting with you. Grandma will make you some wontons right away, just wait a little while."
With nimble hands, they tossed the wrapped wontons into the pot, and soon wisps of steam rose from the pot.
The smoke was as light as dust and as thin as gauze, appearing and disappearing intermittently, revealing a touch of mystery.
Lin Xi took a deep breath of the aroma, watching the small, delicate wontons dressed in white flowing skirts swaying with the bubbling broth. The condiments on the side added to the beauty, accompanied by a savory fragrance.
A bowl of fragrant wontons, topped with green spinach, red radish shreds, yellow egg shreds, and black seaweed, makes one's mouth water.
As Lin Xi watched the wontons float to the surface one by one in her grandmother's pot, some looked like sofas, some like chairs... She was very happy at the thought that she would be able to eat them soon.
A steaming bowl of fragrant wontons was finally served.
When Lin Xi eats wontons, she likes to eat the long skin on one side first, and then savor the fresh meat, which is both tender and chewy.
After you finish eating the wontons, don't forget to drink the soup. The rich broth is so delicious; drinking it is like savoring the taste of the wontons again.
Lin Xi first used a small spoon to scoop up a wonton, blew on it, and then gently bit off half of it. The deliciousness of the wonton filling and the smoothness of the wonton skin combined were truly wonderful.
Taking another spoonful of the light chicken broth makes it even more refreshing.
Mmm, the wontons are so delicious, they leave a lingering fragrance in my mouth.
"I craved this piece when I was in school, and sometimes I would even drool over it in my dreams."
Jiang's mother shoveled a few wontons from her bowl for Lin Xi: "If you like them, eat more. You've worked hard at school and haven't been eating well. Look how thin your face has become."
Lin Xi rubbed the fat on her face and said speechlessly, "Mom, don't try to comfort me. I've already gained a lot of weight. How did you know I've lost weight?"
"Where did the fat go? It's not fat at all. Look at these arms, they're almost touching your thighs."
"That's right, Xiaoxi, don't try to be like those young girls who are afraid to eat this and afraid to eat that."
A perfectly good mealtime is about to turn into a denunciation session.
