Chapter 319: Planting Vegetables - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

Lin Shu planned to wait until the next day to block them. She didn't believe that they would not come out.

Unfortunately, in order to save time, Lin's father and mother left early, and when Lin Shu woke up, he didn't see anyone.

"Aunt, where is grandma?"

Lin Qing was brushing his teeth. He raised his head and looked at her carefully. There was a hint of anxiety in her eyes. It seemed that she knew what happened yesterday. Lin Qing said nothing and continued to brush his teeth with his head down.

"Aunt!" Lin Shu looked at Lin Qing who ignored him and felt angry.

Lin Qing brushed his teeth slowly, then stood up, went back to his room to wash his face, and went straight into the kitchen to eat breakfast, ignoring Lin Shu the whole time.

"Aunt——"

Lin Qing looked at Lin Shu with a clear and cool gaze, "What's the matter?"

"Where's Grandma?"

"Leave."

Lin Shu was so angry seeing Lin Qing like this, she bit her lip and clenched her palms. She couldn't be angry, she couldn't be angry, she had to coax Lin Qing.

"Aunt, can you please persuade grandpa and grandma?"

Lin Qing laughed, "Why are you as naive as your parents? Haha!"

The smile that Lin Shuqiang forced froze on his face in an instant.

She immediately understood what Lin Qing meant, "If you don't want to help, then forget it." She stomped her feet on the spot, turned around and left.

Lin Qing was not affected at all and continued to eat his breakfast.

Cen Xi was even less affected. He didn't think his wife would be persuaded at all, and he leisurely made her a cup of malted milk.

"Mmm~ So sweet! Do you want to have a sip?"

"No, just drink it." Cen Xi shook his head. He didn't really like drinking this stuff.

Lin Qing looked at his face full of resistance and suddenly wanted to be funny, "Drink it, just drink a couple of sips, it's good for your body."

Cen Xi shook his head, "I won't drink, you can drink it, drink it quickly!"

"Go ahead and drink it! Just take a sip." Lin Qing looked at him with a smile.

When Cen Xi saw the smile on her face, he suddenly realized that she did it on purpose.

His eyes rolled, "You can let me drink if you want, but you have to feed me."

Lin Qing was stunned for a moment, "How should I feed you?"

Cen Xi tapped her mouth, and Lin Qing's face instantly turned red. "You... why are you like this?"

"You just say whether you agree or not?"

"No, how can this be possible?"

"Oh! Didn't you want me to drink just now?"

"I... I told you to drink it yourself, not to feed you... like that." Lin Qing was too embarrassed to explain clearly.

"Hahaha! Do you still want me to drink?"

"You..." Lin Qing was a little reluctant to admit defeat. She had just been defeated.

"Hmph!" Lin Qing didn't intend to pay any attention to this lecherous man. He gulped down all the maltose in the cup.

A hint of regret flashed across Cen Xi's eyes, but he was not surprised that Lin Qing would make such a choice.

…

After Lin's father and mother severed their relationship with Lin Feng, they all felt that the huge weight that had been weighing on their hearts had been lifted, and they felt much more cheerful.

Every day after get off work, Lin's father would go back to the family yard to turn over the salted fish. After a week, the salted fish was just dried.

They went to the suburbs every weekend. Lin Qing and Cen Xi would go with them when they had time. They also bought a fishing net.

Every time after they put down the fish basket, they would go to the other side to catch fish with the fishing net. It must be said that this fishing net is very useful. With this fishing net, their harvest has more than doubled.

They worked like this for two months, and as the weather gradually turned colder, they stopped their activities in the suburbs.

By now they had accumulated hundreds of kilograms of salted fish, enough for them to eat for most of half a year. Mother Lin was very satisfied when looking at the pile of salted fish.

Before, they were afraid that others would notice something strange, so when others asked them why they came back again, Lin's father and mother said that they had grown some vegetables in broken jars here, and they came here every week to harvest the vegetables.

To prove that they were not lying, they even collected the salted fish once and invited some neighbors to come and see the vegetables they grew.

Yes, they actually used the balcony to grow some vegetables right next to it.

As they looked at the lush green vegetables, they became eager to try them. Why hadn't they thought of doing this?

However, looking at the dishes that took up half of the balcony, they all backed out. Most of their families had sealed off the balcony and used it as another room. How could they do the same as them?

The balcony on the Lin family's side was originally a kitchen, but there weren't many things in the kitchen, just a stove. In order to dry things here, they moved the stove out of the kitchen, so the balcony was vacant again.

Although they were tempted to use the goalkeeper's balcony to grow vegetables, they were still reluctant to do so. So they could only look at Mr. and Mrs. Lin with envy.

"You guys are the best!"

It's not that after they dealt with the neighbors, no one would question their frequent visits anymore.

…

"Hey, do you want some salted fish? A fellow villager I know said he has dozens of kilograms of salted fish. Do you want some?" Mother Lin came to the backyard and whispered to Aunt Li and Aunt Sui.

Aunt Li and Aunt Sui looked at Mother Lin in shock and said in a low voice, "Are you serious?"

"Of course, but he said there was no fresh fish left, only salted fish."

"Yes, yes, yes. Of course we want it." Salted fish is fine, it's meat after all.

"How much do you want?"

Aunt Li and Aunt Sui suddenly hesitated, "So how does this fellow villager plan to change?"

"50 cents a pound."

"Hiss——" So expensive?

"He said he didn't want a ticket. Besides, he spent a lot of money on it!"

Aunt Li and Aunt Sui nodded. Indeed, the salted fish was indeed a bit salty. "Okay, we'll take it."

Aunt Li asked for ten kilograms and Aunt Sui asked for twenty kilograms. Mother Lin did not expect Aunt Sui to be so generous.

"You want so much?"

"Not much. I gave all this to my two daughters-in-law for their health. They are still not happy. I suspect it's because they were not in good health before, so I gave them more nourishment."

Mother Lin and Aunt Li nodded. So this is why!

"Okay, I'll give you the salted fish tomorrow."

"Um."

They made the decision happily.

In fact, it was because the Chinese New Year was coming soon that they were so generous. Otherwise, they would never have been willing to spend so much!

Lin's mother said it would be tomorrow, and the next day she came over with a big bag.

"Here!" Mother Lin handed a big bag to Aunt Li and Aunt Sui respectively, which she had already weighed in advance.

"Weigh them yourself. If the weights are correct, then everything is fine."

"Okay!" Both Aunt Li and Aunt Sui did not refuse. They immediately took out the scale at home and weighed the salted fish. When they looked at the bent scale, they knew that the fish was weighed too much.

“Is this too much?”

"It's okay. He said the extra ones are for you."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Li and Aunt Sui burst into laughter. "Oh my! What should I do? Thank him so much."
