Chapter 30 They Should Have a Share
Uncle Lin pointed at Lin Zhiyi and said, "You..."
He glanced at the chicken in the pot, which was bubbling. The meat looked tempting in color, and the aroma wafting out made him swallow his saliva again.
He realized that it was impossible to take the meat away today, so he rolled his eyes and softened his voice:
"After all, the family hasn't been divided yet. Your eldest wife's things should have a share with the second and third wives. How about this? Divide the meat in the pot into three portions. Your eldest wife keeps one portion, and the second and third wives take the remaining two portions."
Hearing his second uncle's shameless words, Lin Xiuran couldn't help but curl his lips. "Second uncle just reminded me that my younger sister caught a chicken today, but it might not happen tomorrow. If our eldest house has nothing to eat tomorrow, should you also share the money and food from your second and third houses with our eldest house?"
Uncle Lin didn't even think about it and shouted, "You're dreaming!"
Lin Zhiyi: "This is my second uncle, you are dreaming! Chai Ya, chase him away."
Chai Ya received Lin Zhiyi's order, picked up a piece of firewood from the bottom of the pot, and hit Uncle Lin Er with it.
Uncle Lin was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, "You are rebelling, you are really rebelling..."
If you get hit, it would be a small matter if your clothes are burned, but it would be even more serious if your skin is scalded.
After Uncle Lin ran away, Chai Ya wanted to catch up, but Lin Zhiyi stopped her, "Chai Ya, don't pay any attention to me."
Chai Ya then stopped and swung the firewood stick, which happened to hit Uncle Lin.
Uncle Lin ran away screaming.
At this time, all the Lin family members gathered in front of the stove, even Lin Lu came over, leaving only Lin Zheng, eldest sister-in-law Gu Wanyun and second sister-in-law Fang Luo.
Lin Zhiyi first gave a steamed bun to everyone. His mother, Madam Song, his eldest brother Lin Xiuran, his second brother Lin Xiuyan, Chai Ya and Zhao Zhan all received five.
"You guys eat first, I'll go call my eldest and second sisters-in-law to eat."
Lin Zhiyi first walked to Lin Fu's cart.
"Father, here are some steamed buns for you."
Lin Zhiyi handed over a steamed bun.
Lin Fu was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
He took the steamed bun, his eyes a little warm.
He never expected that it would be his most favored daughter who would support him during his exile.
"Where did the buns come from?"
"Don't worry, Dad. It wasn't stolen or robbed. I traded it for chicken."
"That's good, that's good, go and eat it too."
Lin Zhi’s meaning should be so.
She walked over to her two sisters-in-law.
The women in the backyard are very delicate. Judging from their appearance, they must be very tired.
Lin Zhiyi stepped forward and took Lin Zheng's hand, "Zheng'er, let's go and have dinner with auntie."
Lin Zheng frowned.
My aunt has really changed.
In the past, every time she saw her mother, her nose was not a nose, her face was not a face, why was she so gentle today?
"Boys and girls over seven years old should not sit at the same table. Aunt, please don't pull Zheng'er's sleeve."
This sentence made Lin Zhiyi laugh.
Since she came here, she has never taken a close look at Lin Zheng.
She looked at him carefully and saw Lin Zheng's small face, which was round but square. His baby fat had not faded but was tight. His eyebrows were like ink paintings, his eyes were like dots of paint, and his eyelashes were thick and long, casting a small shadow under his eyes when he lowered his eyes.
He has a straight nose and light-colored lips, which look particularly serious when pursed into a straight line.
Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but say, "Oh~, you're still a little old-fashioned!"
However, if you look closely, her adopted nephew looks a bit like her.
She looks very good.
Lin Zhiyi couldn't help wanting to pinch his face, but when she looked at his tense little face, she stopped.
"Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, you should go and have dinner too. You must be tired from walking all day."
Gu Wanyun and Fang Luo were very surprised.
I originally thought she came to call Lin Zheng to eat. After all, Zheng'er was her nephew, so it was normal for her to feel sorry for the child.
Why are you calling them again?
If it were in the past, even if I went to her and begged her for something to eat, I'm afraid this girl wouldn't be soft-hearted.
Gu Wanyun: "You guys go eat, I'm not hungry yet."
"How can I not be hungry? Sister-in-law, eat your fill today so that you can continue your journey tomorrow."
"And second sister-in-law, what's going on? Do you still want your sister to carry you there?"
Gu Wanyun and Fang Luo looked at each other, both with disbelief in their eyes.
Fang Luo said: "No, we'll go eat by ourselves."
"Um."
Lin Zhi agreed to their request, opened the oil-paper package, and handed Lin Zheng three steamed buns. "Zheng'er, give one to your mother and second aunt."
Looking at the last steamed bun left in his hand, Lin Zhiyi sighed, all ten steamed buns were divided up like this.
Thinking that Chai Ya had a big appetite, Lin Zhiyi packed more and planned to save it for Chai Ya.
There are many delicious foods in her space, so she won't go hungry.
Holding the steamed bun in her hand and looking at her aunt's back, Gu Wanyun seemed to be lost in thought.
Fang Luo said, "Sister-in-law, our dowry has been taken away by my sister-in-law. It would be a waste if we don't eat this meal."
As she spoke, she stood up and ran after him.
Lin Zheng also advised: "Mom, Auntie is actually quite nice. She even gave me and my sister some dried meat to eat just now."
"real?"
"It's true, Mom. She was afraid we would starve, so she asked Lu'er and I to fill our stomachs first."
Gu Wanyun frowned.
Could it be that this girl has really changed for the better?
"Let's go, Zheng'er."
As soon as Gu Wanyun and Lin Zheng arrived, everyone was gathered together and started eating around the pot.
The Lin family had fallen on hard times, so they ignored the rule that men and women should sit at different tables, and were content as long as they could fill their stomachs.
But Zhao Zhan was the only outsider among them, and he seemed a little awkward.
Fortunately, Lin Zhiyi found various topics to talk to him about, and after a while, he felt much better.
At the same time, the Mu family, like everyone else, could only stare at the Lin family with open eyes and swallow their saliva.
Mu Yunzhao could never understand why this life was so different. Why did Lin Zhiyi also come with him into exile?
Moreover, she seemed different from before, not as stupid as before.
It seemed like Li Wenjing looked at her twice more today.
According to her memories of her previous life, Li Wenjing eventually became emperor.
No, she must not let Lin Zhiyi get close to Li Wenjing again.
Tong, the eldest sister-in-law of the Mu family, looked at Mu Yunzhao, who was sitting on the side. Seeing that she was hugging her bundle tightly, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister, I saw you go to see the officials just now. Did you buy some white flour cakes?"
Mu Yunzhao was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly explained, "Sister-in-law must have seen it wrong. I don't have any money."
"I think you just hid the money and bought some cakes secretly, hoping to eat them all by yourself. Do you dare to give me the bag so I can check it?"
Although there was no silver or money hidden in Mu Yunzhao's bag, there were three white flour cakes that she bought with one or two taels of silver.
She ate two and planned to have the remaining three for the trip tomorrow.
If my sister-in-law takes it away, I'm afraid I can only eat black-faced steamed buns tomorrow.
She didn't have much money, so she had to spend it sparingly, otherwise it would be gone before she could reach Fangzhou.
Thinking of this, Mu Yunzhao hugged the bag tighter.
Mu's mother hurriedly stopped Tong, "How could Zhao Zhao have money? Don't make things difficult for her."
After her mother-in-law spoke, Tong had no choice but to stop and couldn't help but glare at Mu Yunzhao.
"Mother, please favor her."
Mu Yunzhao secretly resented that her aunt had abandoned her and ran away since she was a child. Although her mistress treated her well, the children of the Mu family all excluded her.
In her previous life, she became a concubine of a county lieutenant simply because she couldn't bear the hardship of exile and hard labor. This was the beginning of her tragic fate.
In her reborn life, she will not follow the old path again, and will become someone these people look up to.
