Chapter 296: Talking the Truth - The Sickly Young Girl's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

As soon as Aunt Jiang finished speaking, Jiang Dahu and Jiang Erhu started crying to Lin Shu. Others also secretly looked at Lin Shu, waiting for her to make a decision that would benefit them.

But Lin Shu didn't want to and was unwilling to do so, so he pretended not to hear anything, lowered his head and remained silent.

"Stepmother, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!"

"Stepmother, I want to eat meat..."

Aunt Jiang looked at Lin Shu pretending to be dead and glared at her fiercely, saying words of persuasion, "Don't cry, don't cry! We are not familiar with your stepmother and aunt's family, and there is nothing you can do!"

"Wow wow wow..."

Lin Shu still pretended to be dead and said nothing.

Although Mrs. Jiang couldn't eat it, she just didn't want Lin Shu to get away with it easily.

"Sister-in-law! Look at this child crying so hard, it's not a big deal, why don't you go and take a look?"

Lin Shu raised his head and looked at Aunt Jiang and Sister-in-law Jiang, then at Jiang Yang. Although Jiang Yang didn't say anything, his expression clearly showed his agreement.

Lin Shu felt a little aggrieved, so naturally, what she said was not very pleasant. "Mom, I remember when I first got married, you told me that it would be best to have less contact with my aunt's family, right?"

Lin Shu stared at Aunt Jiang, who was so overwhelmed by her gaze that she couldn't help but shudder.

"I..." She was about to ask when did she say this?

Lin Shujin then dragged Jiang Dasao into the water. She was not the only one who had military training at that time. "Dad, have you forgotten too?"

Mrs. Jiang: “…” That’s true, but don’t you know how to be flexible?

On weekdays, you should avoid contact with them when you have nothing to do. When there is an opportunity to take advantage of them, of course you should rush in!

Now Aunt Jiang was too embarrassed to say that she didn't say those words, but she and Sister-in-law Jiang were thinking the same thing: if someone didn't take advantage of an opportunity, wouldn't he be a bastard?

Lin Shu then said, "Mom, don't forget, my aunt is not in good health. You didn't let me contact her before. Do you really want me to go find them now? What if my aunt gets sick?"

Aunt Jiang: “…”

I have nothing to say, this is absolutely devastating.

Aunt Jiang didn't want to pay the money, but she still had a bit of a stubborn attitude, "What's the difference? You are their granddaughter and niece, how could they ask you to pay the money?"

Lin Shu stared at her blankly. "Grandma, I have separated from my parents and cut off all ties. Do you think they will not let me pay for it?"

Aunt Jiang: “…” She was completely speechless.

Lin Shu looked at the crying children and thought that he couldn't just leave them alone, so he said, "If you really want to eat meat, wait until tomorrow! Our family paid so much salary to your grandma, if you want to eat meat, let your grandma buy it!"

"Where can I get the money and tickets? This meat doesn't cost money?" Aunt Jiang said immediately.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Our two families pay so much salary every month, and we turn in all the receipts. This month we haven't even seen any meat. Where did you spend all the money?" Lin Shu questioned.

Mrs. Jiang wanted to nod in agreement. That was right. They received so much salary and receipts every month, but there was hardly any meat at home.

Aunt Jiang saw the three Jiang family members looking at her, and her heart suddenly became flustered.

"Don't talk nonsense! Who said I didn't buy meat?"

Lin Shu tilted his head and asked, "What about the meat? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"What kind of meat should you eat as a married daughter-in-law? Of course, the meat should come from the man in the family!" Aunt Jiang said directly.

The three Jiang family members kept silent, after all, they were the vested interests.

"Oh! So, I made the right decision not to give my salary to you. Otherwise, I would work hard, but the salary and receipts I got would be useless to me. What would I gain from that?"

Mrs. Jiang's eyes almost popped out. Why was Lin Shu suddenly speaking the truth here?

Jiang Yang was listening at the side, and after a moment's thought, he felt that what she said made sense. If it was really as she said, not only would Lin Shu be unwilling, but he himself would also be unwilling. Wouldn't that be making wedding clothes for others in vain?

"..." Aunt Jiang was speechless for a moment.

When Grandpa Jiang saw that things seemed to be getting worse, he quickly spoke up to stabilize the situation, "Alright, Dahu and Erhu, stop crying. I'll let your grandma go buy meat tomorrow." After saying this to Dahu and Erhu, he looked at Grandma Jiang, "My dear, I remember that our family has not used up all the meat coupons for this month. Have they been used up tomorrow? Buy more, and don't say that the daughter-in-law of the family doesn't deserve to eat meat!"

Aunt Jiang wanted to refute, but when she saw the warning in Grandpa Jiang's eyes, she immediately fell silent.

"yes!"

After Master Jiang spoke, Jiang Dahu and Jiang Erhu gradually stopped crying. They had a natural awe for Master Jiang, the patriarch.

"Second brother, you should hurry up and eat too!" Don't say anything more.

"Yeah." Lin Shu stopped when he saw that things were going well.

…

When Lin Qing came back in the afternoon, she saw her mother at home with the doors and windows closed.

She took a look and knocked on the kitchen door, "Mom!"

Mother Lin was chopping a rabbit inside. When she heard the noise, she quickly put down the knife and walked out, "Nannan, you're back?"

"Mom, what are you doing in there? Why are the doors and windows closed?"

Mother Lin looked outside, quickly pulled people into the house, and then closed the door.

It wasn't dark inside and the lights were on.

This made Lin Qing even more puzzled. Her mother was usually very thrifty and would never turn on the light unless necessary. Why was she so abnormal today?

Mother Lin pulled Lin Qing over to look at the things on the chopping board.

Lin Qingzhen's eyes widened in shock, "Mom? Where did this meat come from?"

"This is what we got from the mountain today."

"Ah? You guys are so awesome! That's great!" Lin Qing started to brag again.

Lin's mother was praised so much that she smiled happily.

Mother Lin pulled her behind the counter and asked, "Take another look at what this is?"

"Wow!" Lin Qing quickly covered his mouth. He almost couldn't hold back and screamed out loudly.

"Mom! You guys are so amazing! My mom, you are absolutely the most amazing person in the world!"

"Hehe! I didn't accomplish this by myself. I have to thank your Aunt Li and Aunt Sui. They both contributed a lot."

"Mom, are these all ours?" Lin Qing asked, looking at the two plump rabbits.

"Of course, otherwise why would he be in our house?" Mother Lin said proudly.

"Wow! You guys must have gained a lot this time!"

"Yes, we harvested eleven rabbits and half a basket of wild vegetables this time."

"Wow!" Lin Qing exclaimed in shock again.

"I picked out three fatter ones, and the remaining eight were shared between the two of them."

"Well, mom, it's your own gains, so just discuss it among yourselves." Lin Qing had no objection to these.

"Okay! Then shall we eat braised rabbit tonight?"

"Great! I'm looking forward to it. I've never eaten it before!" Lin Qing would never say that he doesn't want to eat rabbit. Meat is so hard to come by these days!
