Upon hearing this, Lin Chaosheng felt that what his mother said made a lot of sense.
Now, due to hunting and fishing, people have become somewhat dependent on him.
If people find out now that I can grow watermelons, won't they start relying on me in the future?
"Okay, let's keep it quiet for now and eat it tonight."
Lin Chaosheng said, but he actually wanted to share a watermelon with the people who were helping with the work.
But what happened next made Lin Chaosheng feel fortunate that he hadn't shared the watermelon with them first, otherwise he didn't know how much more trouble it would have caused.
"Oh no! Oh no!"
Wei He suddenly ran over, panting, and said, "N-nothing's wrong, Brother Chaosheng!"
"What's wrong?" Zhao Shufang was still in a good mood when she suddenly saw Wei He running over in such a panic, so she quickly came out and asked.
Lin Chaosheng also put down what he was holding. Looking at Wei He's hurried appearance, a bad feeling rose in his heart.
"Over there..." Wei He ran too fast, but even so he managed to say as quickly as possible, "A fight broke out over the new house, they say it's because of a piece of meat!"
"What? They fought over the meat?"
Zhao Shufang stared at Lin Chaosheng in shock. She saw her eldest son with a furrowed brow. He then put down what he was holding and said, "Let's go take a look!"
Seeing this, Zhao Shufang quickly put down what she was holding, forgetting to even take off her apron, and followed Lin Chaosheng and Wei He.
When they arrived, they found their yard already surrounded by layers of people.
Liang Fu helped Liang Mei stand to one side. Lin Shansheng was unharmed, but his clothes were dirty, clearly from when he intervened in the fight.
"Stop!" Lin Chaosheng shouted. "What are you doing!"
The two men who had been fighting were also surprised to see Lin Chaosheng. One of them, a man with a bruise on his face, said to Lin Chaosheng, "It's nothing, just a little verbal altercation..."
"A little verbal conflict escalated into a fight?"
Lin Chaosheng had a fierce look on his face, which looked quite intimidating. Liang Mei had never seen him like this before, and for a moment she didn't dare to step forward to stop him.
"Tell me, what exactly happened!"
Lin Chaosheng looked at the other person involved in the fight and asked him to speak.
The man straightened his neck and said, "At lunchtime, the old lady gave each of us a piece of meat. This kid finished his own bowl, but when he saw there was still some in the pot, he wanted more. I couldn't stand it, so I said a few words, and then this kid threw down his bowl and came over to hit me. I couldn't just stand there and take the beating, could I?"
The man spoke with great conviction, and Lin Chaosheng turned to look at the man with bruises on his face, asking, "Is that what he said?"
Upon hearing this, the man knew he was in the wrong, but he still stubbornly insisted, "So what if that's the case? Did I do anything wrong?"
Seeing the man's expression, Lin Shanhai was furious and immediately shouted, "I remember who you are now! No wonder you looked so familiar! You're Er Laizi's younger brother, San Bengzi!"
"Oh my, it's a three-wheeled vehicle?"
"The change is so great, I didn't even recognize him!"
"It was him... He has the nerve to say he did any work? Everyone knows he's a notorious lazybone on the island, even worse than Lin Chaosheng back then..."
Upon hearing Lin Shanhai's words, those around him immediately recalled how famous this "three-wheeled vehicle" was.
"It's a three-wheeled vehicle? I was wondering how such a shameless person managed to sneak into our group. He does the least work every day, yet he's always complaining about this and that. Today he said that if Old Lin's family can't afford meat, they shouldn't make promises they can't keep. The day before yesterday he said that the rice was old and not fresh. Not only does he not work, but he's also picky about the food they give him. People like him deserve to starve to death!"
One of the people working together spoke first.
Once someone spoke up, the others followed suit, all talking about what the three-wheeled vehicle had been doing these past few days.
After everyone explained the situation to Lin Chaosheng, he remembered who this three-wheeled vehicle was.
It turned out he was a notorious lazy man in the village who made a living by hunting. He had three sons, and the eldest son starved to death during a famine.
The second son was known as "Second Scoundrel" by everyone, famous for borrowing money and not paying it back.
The third one is this three-wheeled vehicle driver. He's not only lazy, but also has terrible character.
At first, everyone offered him a helping hand. After all, everyone was struggling during the famine years, and no one wanted to see a perfectly healthy person starve to death.
Unexpectedly, instead of being grateful, the three-wheeled vehicle driver kept talking badly about people behind their backs.
for example--
"You have the nerve to give away these worthless wild vegetables?"
"I'd rather starve than eat this disgusting stuff."
"You all eat and drink well at home, but you bring me these rotten vegetable scraps. It's disgusting. You're all wicked!"
That's not all; there were many more offensive and offensive things said.
As a result, three-wheeled vehicles have become something that everyone dislikes.
However, no one recognized it as a three-wheeled vehicle because it had become extremely thin recently, almost unrecognizable.
Look at him now, he's gained at least ten pounds!
"You keep complaining that Lin Chaosheng's food is bad, that he gives you too little meat and the rice isn't fresh enough, but I haven't seen you eat less!"
"That's right! Everyone here is here to work, and you're all all muscle and muscular, unlike you who's all fat."
"You haven't done a single job, and you haven't eaten a single bite. If I were you, I'd crawl into a hole right now!"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, showing no mercy to the three-wheeled vehicle.
Unexpectedly, the three-wheeled vehicle had become utterly shameless. Faced with the ridicule of the crowd, he not only showed no embarrassment, but even said with righteous indignation: "What right do you have to talk about me? Do you dare to say that you came to Lin Chaosheng's house to help out, but not for the meat and food they gave you?"
"As for how much work you've done, it's not as much as I've told you to do! Now you're all standing there spouting nonsense, trying to curry favor with Lin Chaosheng, just so he'll give you a bigger piece of the pie, huh? Ugh! It's disgusting!"
"That's still better than you! At least we all ate the meat and food that others gave us, and we actually did the work, unlike you!"
"What did I do wrong? Did Lin Chaosheng himself say that everyone who comes to work will be given meat and grain?"
The three-wheeled vehicle looked smug, its head held high.
"Don't worry about how much I did, didn't I do some work?"
Everyone was furious at his words, but they couldn't find any flaws to refute him.
