Chapter 31 I Don’t Want to Give Food to My Great Grandmother
At the Lin family's side, everyone was enjoying their meal.
"Aunt, can you give us something to eat?"
Lin Zhiyi turned around when he heard the voice and saw a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old. Although she looked downcast, her eyes were very firm.
She immediately realized that this person was also her cousin, Lin Xue, the daughter of the original owner's fourth uncle.
The eldest son of the Lin family is Lin Zhiyi's father. He has three children: the eldest son Lin Xiuran, the second son Lin Xiuyan and the daughter Lin Zhiyi.
The second branch of the Lin family has three daughters: the eldest daughter Lin Jingshu, the son Lin Xiu Ze, and the youngest daughter Lin Jingwei.
The third branch of the Lin family has a daughter and a son, the daughter is Lin Jingchu and the son is Lin Xiuqi.
The fourth branch of the Lin family has a daughter and a son, daughter Lin Xue and son Lin Xiuhuai.
The fourth branch of the Lin family was born out of wedlock. The fourth uncle of the Lin family was born to the old man's concubine. The fourth branch was originally inconspicuous. Two years ago, the fourth uncle of the Lin family died of illness, leaving only Mrs. Liu and her mother and son.
They became even more inconspicuous in the Lin family.
If they hadn't appeared, Lin Zhiyi wouldn't have thought of them at all from the original owner's memory.
They have always been like invisible people, following at the end of the exile team.
When Mrs. Song saw them, she was slightly stunned.
"It's Xue'er."
But they didn’t have any bowls either, “But…”
Lin Xue saw Mrs. Song's dilemma and thought she was unhappy, so her eyes darkened.
Yes, on this road of exile, who can care about whom?
"It's okay, auntie. I know my cousin doesn't cook much. You guys eat first, and I'll go ask somewhere else."
When Lin Xue saw her cousin catch a chicken, she also went around the area but didn't see any prey.
Unfortunately, her mother was in poor health and her brother was still young, so she had to come out and ask the eldest wife for food.
She knew that her cousin had always disliked their fourth branch and looked down on them for being born out of wedlock.
Even though she knew there was no hope, she still wanted to give it a try.
Looking at Lin Xue's figure walking away, Mrs. Song's heart softened for a moment. She looked at Lin Zhiyi: "Zhizhi, look..."
The chicken was caught by my daughter and the meat was stewed by her, so it was up to her to decide.
There were only two chickens, and with so many people to share, she couldn't make the decision for her daughter.
"Mom, there are no extra bowls. When Daddy finishes eating, please free up the bowls and send them to Fourth Aunt and her son."
"Just let Zhizhi decide."
The first wife of the Lin family was having a great time, while the second and third wives were crying and wailing.
The second wife's grandson Rui'er was only four years old. He kept clamoring for meat and even rolled on the ground.
Lin Xiuqi from the third house was twelve years old and also pestered Zou for meat.
These two children were exactly what Old Lady Wang loved most. She turned around and asked Uncle Lin, "Where's the meat?"
Uncle Lin was in a mess at this moment. Looking at the holes on his body that were burned by the firewood sticks, he was very angry and said, "I didn't want to come."
"What? Not coming?"
Old Madam Wang stood up suddenly.
This is really outrageous. The eldest wife eats meat and dares not to respect her as her mother.
Seeing Chai Ya carrying a bowl of meat and walking towards them from a distance, Old Lady Wang said, "I told you that the eldest son would not dare to be unfilial to me, his mother."
She was secretly proud that these sons and daughters-in-law were all under her control.
Even if they were in dire straits, even if they starved themselves to death, they would never let a old woman deprive them of a single bite of food.
She kept staring at the bowl in Chai Ya's hand, but Chai Ya walked past them and went to the fourth room without asking a single question.
Old Madam Wang was so angry.
She picked up her wooden crutch and walked quickly towards the main room with a gloomy face.
People from the second and third wives also followed.
When she got there, Mrs. Wang saw that everyone was eating heartily, and there seemed to be not much meat left in the pot. She shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
Lu'er was still young after all, and she only knew that she wanted to eat white flour buns. Not only did her great-grandmother not give her any, she also beat her mother. So she didn't want to give her great-grandmother any either.
She tugged at Lin Zhiyi's sleeve and complained, "Aunt, I don't want to feed my great-grandmother. She beats my mother and Lu'er."
Lin Zhiyi picked up another piece of meat and placed it on the sycamore leaf in Lu'er's hand. "Okay, Auntie will listen to Lu'er."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang's anger surged. She walked over to Lu'er, snatched the meat from her hand, took a bite, and said, "Second brother, third brother, take the pot away."
Finally, she could eat meat. Old Lady Wang was so happy.
It seemed that Uncle Lin Er and Uncle Lin San were about to take the blame.
Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan stopped them and an argument broke out between the two sides.
There are many people in the second and third houses, but there are only Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan, who are boys in the first house, so they can only stop the second and third uncles.
Lin Xiu Ze from the second house stepped forward and picked up the pot directly.
Lu'er was so scared that she cried out "Wow~" and held onto Lin Zhiyi's legs tightly, "Auntie, Lu'er is scared."
Lin Zhiyi shielded Lu'er behind her and said, "Grandma, I still say the same thing. It's okay if you want to take the pot away. If we have nothing to eat tomorrow, we should also have a share of the food from the second and third wives."
Lin Xiu Ze snorted coldly: "Don't even think about it!"
Their second branch now has silver and money hidden. Not only did his father-in-law come to see him off and secretly give his wife a lot of silver and money, but even his eldest sister Lin Jingshu secretly told him that she also had silver and money on her, which should be enough to support them to get to Fangzhou.
On the contrary, the eldest wife was lucky today. Although she caught the chicken tonight, she may not be able to catch it tomorrow.
"Then forget it! Put it down!"
Lin Zhiyi picked up the still burning firewood stick and hit Lin Xiu Ze hard. Lin Xiu Ze felt pain and quickly put the pot on the stove.
The pot was not placed steadily and a little chicken soup spilled out. Lin Zhiyi was immediately furious and chased Lin Xiu Ze with a firewood stick.
Lin Xiu Ze didn't expect Lin Zhiyi to be so tough. He ran while shouting, "Lin Zhiyi, I'm your brother."
"Lin Xiu Ze, please don't disgust me. We just share the same last name, Lin. My brothers are only Lin Xiu Ran and Lin Xiu Yan."
Lin Xiu Ze was caught up in a blink of an eye. Lin Zhiyi showed no mercy and hit him with a few sticks. Lin Xiu Ze screamed in pain.
"No wonder you were divorced. If I were your brother-in-law, I would divorce you too!"
"Yes, it's best not to provoke a shrew like my cousin, otherwise..."
Lin Zhiyi was about to stop, but when she heard Lin Xiu Ze say that, she grabbed the stick and hit him several more times.
It was not until Mrs. Zou came and looked like she wanted to fight her to the death that Lin Zhiyi stopped.
"Why? Second Aunt, do you also want to taste this firewood stick?"
