"In our line of work, we often stay outdoors for ten days or even half a month! When faced with special circumstances, we even eat raw meat when we're starving! These skills are something we've honed over time."
The third master nodded!
Before, he always felt that Lan Guoer got married too hastily, and that the old Tang family was somewhat unworthy of the young lady of his Lan family.
However, as he got to know Tang Zhan more and more during this period, he began to discover the hidden shining points in Tang Zhan and the charm that a man should have, and his impression of him also improved a lot.
His little Guoer has a very sharp eye for choosing people!
Tang Zhan tore off a roasted chicken leg and gave it to the Third Master, then tore off the other one and handed it to Lan Guoer.
The little kids' teeth hadn't grown in yet, so he put the meat buns he brought with him on the fire rack and heated them up for them to eat.
The two tigers and their cubs circled around them.
Xiao Lie generously shared his meat buns with the little tiger cub, still mumbling instructions,
"Xiaohong, you have to eat more. When you grow up, you must become the king of the beasts in this forest. Then, when my brother, sister, and I go into the mountains again, we can walk sideways like crabs!"
The little guy had just learned some new knowledge recently and couldn't help showing off.
The little tiger cub whimpered at him twice as if it understood.
Everyone had a good harvest today. When they went down the mountain, the male tiger carried the three little guys and took them a long way.
If Tang Zhan hadn't been worried that its appearance would scare the villagers, the tiger would have wanted to send them home.
Worried that the villagers would be frightened and murderous if they knew about the existence of the tiger family of three, Lan Guoer specifically instructed the children to keep their mouths shut and not tell anyone else about their encounter with Xiaohong and the others.
The children all liked Xiaohong's family very much, and naturally didn't want them to get hurt, so they were very sensible and agreed obediently.
The group came down from the mountain and just as they arrived at the door of their home, they ran into Tang Ming and Li Jinhua.
Both of them were wearing new clothes. Tang Ming borrowed a bicycle from somewhere and carried Li Jinhua, who had a droopy face, on the back.
Li Jinhua was already angry when she returned home today because Li Qinglian had taken away dozens of kilograms of wild boar meat from her home.
However, she had given such great benefits to her mother's family, but when she returned today, not only did she not receive a smiling welcome from her mother and sisters-in-law, but she was scolded instead.
Especially her sister-in-law, Li Qinglian's biological mother, was so weird when she saw her!
"Hey! Isn't this our sister-in-law who has become a successful woman? What a rare guest! I was just telling my mother that the Tang family has delicious food every day, and you still remember these steamed buns from my mother's family? This is really surprising!"
"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? We are all farmers. Who can afford to eat delicious food every day?
My family did share some meat before the New Year, and I also gave you most of it. Why don't you go out and ask around to see if there's any other sister-in-law who can do what I do?"
It was New Year's Day, and Li Jinhua suppressed her anger and didn't say anything more unpleasant.
"Don't even mention that meat!" Mrs. Li curled her lips. "If Qinglian hadn't happened to see it, you would have hidden it away! Would you be willing to share a bite with us?"
When Li Qinglian returned home, she told Old Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li how comfortable and happy her life was at Old Tang's house after she separated from Li Jinhua. She exaggerated the story.
She even described the Third Master to the highest degree possible, and kept painting big rosy pictures for Old Lady Li and Mrs. Li, saying how he would take care of her family if she married the Third Master.
This gave Old Lady Li and Mrs. Li infinite hope, but also made them even more dissatisfied with Li Jinhua.
Their Qinglian is good-looking and well-educated. What's wrong with her being a match for a middle-aged man like the Third Master?
It’s because Li Jinhua didn’t put in enough effort!
Li Jinhua was very angry with her sister-in-law and wanted to ask her mother, Old Lady Li, to judge the matter.
Old Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li are from the same pot, so how could she side with her?
"Jinhua, I'm not saying anything about you!
You know what life is like at home. How can you just keep all the good things to yourself when they have them? If the neighbors knew about this, they would definitely say that I raised an ungrateful person!
And there’s the matter of Qinglian!
If she gets better, our whole family will benefit from it. If you help her, isn't it the same as helping yourself?
How can you be so confused and ungrateful? "
Li Jinhua felt so aggrieved when she heard this!
Not only did she lose dozens of kilograms of meat, but she also got the reputation of "eating alone"!
Besides, as for Li Qinglian's marriage, was that something she could decide? What relationship did the Third Master have with her? Her parents-in-law couldn't decide on that Master, so what could she do to him?
What's more, there was the Wang Qiao incident yesterday. Even if she had thought of using force, she doesn't have the courage to do so now!
Li Jinhua was already feeling unwell due to the poisoning, and after experiencing the repeated attacks from Mrs. Li and Old Lady Li, she felt a throbbing pain in her head!
She was extremely regretful at this moment!
If she had known that the Third Master was so difficult to deal with, she would never have mentioned the idea of getting married to Li Qinglian!
Fortunately, men and women sat at separate tables during the meal, so Tang Ming didn't hear what her mother and sister-in-law said. Otherwise, with Tang Ming's temper, it would be hard to say whether she would be able to return to her parents' home in the future!
This time she really reaped the fruits of her own actions and had to endure the consequences!
Before leaving, although Li Jinhua clearly told Mrs. Li and Old Lady Li that there was no possibility for Li Qinglian and the Third Master, the two of them obviously did not give up.
He also asked Li Jinhua to go home and prepare, saying that they would come to visit her relatives on the fourth day of the New Year.
As for what kind of relatives were they? Given Li Jinhua's understanding of his mother and sister-in-law, how could she not understand?
"Hey! Old Four, it's so cold, what have you been doing?"
Li Jinhua forced a smile and asked.
Although Tang Zhan and Lan Guoer didn't say anything openly about the bracelet theft, Li Jinhua has clearly felt the alienation of the fourth brother's family towards her in the past few days.
Although the fourth brother's family doesn't come back often, the benefits they bring to them are real.
Not to mention how many people in the village were concerned about Tang Zhan's current status and treated them kindly, the clothes-making work that Lan Guoer found for them made their lives much better than before!
Comparing herself with her own family who only knew how to seek favors, Li Jinhua felt somewhat guilty!
"I went for a walk in the mountains. Brother, sister-in-law, why did you come back so early this time?" Tang Zhan asked casually.
In those days, grain was precious. When a married daughter returned home on the second day of the New Year, her parents would usually treat her and her son-in-law to two meals to show their respect.
It was only two or three in the afternoon, so it was obviously not time for the second meal yet.
"Your sister-in-law is not well yet. Since she doesn't feel well, we came back early." Tang Mingdao.
Tang Ming was right. Li Jinhua was indeed feeling uncomfortable, but it was not because she was in poor health, but because she was very angry.
