At the dinner table, in addition to the breakfast that Lin Zhan bought, there was a big bowl of pork rib noodles in front of everyone.
Su Lixuan said with a smile: "Hurry, try it while it's hot."
"After taking a bite...I'm not bragging, the kids next door are crying with envy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two thunder-like howls came from the Lu family across the street.
Su Lixuan: "Look, what did I say? You're crying out of greed!"
Lin Zhan: “…”
Li Yanhong: “…”
The mother and son were speechless, only Lin Wenhui nodded in support, with a stern face that looked 50% like Lin Zhan, which was so cute that it was almost dead.
Su Lixuan couldn't hold back her eager claws, and pinched her sister-in-law's cheeks with lightning speed.
As expected of a teenage girl, her face is full of collagen and feels soft when pinched.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
You don't even need to ask to know who is knocking on the door.
The Lin family members remained silent and exchanged glances.
For a moment, no one got up to open the door.
Su Lixuan looked at her mother-in-law, and Li Yanhong immediately avoided her sight.
"My beautiful and kind mother-in-law..."
Under the shocked eyes of Lin Zhan and Lin Wenhui, Su Lixuan was interrupted by Li Yanhong in the middle of her whispered flattery: "Stop it, stop giving me such irresistible words. If you ask me to go and get rid of her, I won't be able to eat when I come back. I'll be so angry that I'll be full of anger."
Li Yanhong would never be angry with her stomach.
It would have been fine if she had fought Zhang Guifang for three hundred rounds just before dinner, but she was not sure whether the food cooked by her second daughter-in-law was edible, so she simply made an excuse that she was too angry to eat it.
But it’s different now!
The noodles made by the second daughter-in-law are better than those in other restaurants. She has never eaten such delicious noodles even in state-owned restaurants.
"Then why don't you just pretend to scold me and say that I didn't cook enough for the whole family. If you scold me like that, she will definitely be embarrassed to ask for it."
"No, it's no use calling me mom. Why should I slap you in the face just because she comes to beg for food? That doesn't make sense. It's not like there aren't men in the family."
When Lin Zhan heard his mother's first words, he thought they made sense and was nodding his head, but when he heard the last part...
"ah?"
Li Yanhong: "No, today's situation is special, you are more useful than anyone else."
She lowered her voice and briefly told Lin Zhan what happened in the morning: "This morning...you will say this when the time comes..."
Outside the door, no one came to open it despite knocking on it. Zhang Guifang looked impatient and raised her hand to knock it hard twice, but before the slaps could land, the door in front of her was pulled open by someone!
Feeling delighted, Zhang Guifang raised her hands and was about to say that she was here to "beg for food". Anyway, it was not the first time she had done something like this. After all, her family had many children, while the Lin family had no children. What was wrong with taking care of her neighbors?
But when she looked up and saw who opened the door...she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue!
Li Yanhong didn't dare to say a word to Lin Zhan at this moment.
She must be crazy to stand up and act like a scoundrel in front of Lin Zhan.
Zhang Guifang withdrew her hand that was about to knock on the door and wiped the corner of her eyes instead.
She said pitifully, "Lin Zhan, are you at home? I didn't see you this morning, and I thought you were out busy."
As for what he was busy with... who knows? It was nothing more than leading a group of lackeys to collect debts and fight. As a neighbor, she didn't dare to ask at all.
Lin Zhan didn't say anything, but just raised his eyebrows at Zhang Guifang.
As if she understood Lin Zhan's 'meaning', Zhang Guifang said hesitantly: "Xiao Zhan, it's like this, you know that Aunt Zhang has two children."
"Kids are greedy but afraid of going hungry. Your wife started cooking early this morning. The food was so delicious that it made your two nephews so greedy."
"Look, it's almost time for dinner, and the two kids are making a fuss and want to have a bite. I have no choice but to shamelessly ask for a bowl."
Afraid that Lin Zhan would get angry, she added, "Don't ask for too much. You know fine noodles are precious. Just one bowl will be enough. They won't make a fuss once they have something to eat."
Lin Zhan chuckled and said nothing, but Zhang Guifang felt inexplicably embarrassed.
"Xiao Zhan... look at this..."
Without waiting for her to hesitate again, Lin Zhan looked in the direction of Zhang Guifang's house.
He sneered, "Aunt Zhang, although I wasn't at home this morning, I still heard about what happened at home after I came back."
"I'm confused. How can you have the nerve to come to me and say this? Did your new in-laws give you the confidence?"
He nodded to himself: "Indeed, the Ye family is so arrogant. They play tricks on me whenever they want. With such in-laws, Aunt Zhang will be blessed in the future."
Zhang Guifang: “…”
She only dared to come here because Lin Zhan was not at home!
Not daring to look at Lin Zhan's expression, Zhang Guifang wanted to slip away with the bowl in her hand.
Before he had taken two steps, Lin Zhan grabbed him by the back of his neck.
Zhang Guifang's legs went weak, thinking that Lin Zhan was planning to start with her because the Ye family looked down on him and secretly replaced his wife.
He turned his head trembling with fear.
Suddenly, she saw a person sitting behind Lin Zhan, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen. She looked familiar and seemed to have thought of something. Zhang Guifang hurried to save herself: "Xiao Zhan, put your aunt down first. I have something to tell you."
Lin Zhan: "It just so happens that I have something to say to you, Aunt Zhang."
Oh my God, how could Zhang Guifang dare to let him speak first? If he threatened her and asked her and the Ye family to wait for him in the future, she would probably not be able to sleep at night.
Zhang Guifang struggled hard: "No, please let me finish what I want to say first. What I want to say is important."
Lin Zhan: "What I want to say is also important."
Zhang Guifang was horrified; "I want to talk about your sister!"
After she finished speaking, her collar loosened and Zhang Guifang's heels finally landed on the ground. She covered her neck and coughed a few times, looking at Lin Zhan with some guilt.
"Aunt Zhang, you'd better tell me something about my sister. You know I have a bad temper. If you play tricks on me..."
His pair of peach blossom eyes were chillingly cold at this moment.
It was the first time that Zhang Guifang was stared at like this, and she shivered uncontrollably.
She stammered, "No, I'm not kidding you. Don't you know who Aunt Zhang is? When has Aunt Zhang ever lied?"
"The only thing I really know about your sister is that I happened to run into your grandma while I was buying groceries a while ago. She told me."
His milk?
Lin Zhan couldn't remember how long it had been since he last saw his father's relatives.
Anyway, he and his brother were not welcomed over there. Even if he went over there, they would look down on him. They wouldn't even pour him a spit of water when he entered the door. After being looked down upon so many times, he was too lazy to go over there to visit.
After not having contact for such a long time, he didn't expect that the old lady was still so strong and could go buy groceries.
To be honest, he is quite capable of living.
