Lin Jiuyue smacked her lips. She hadn't seen enough of the excitement yet.
"I have plenty of time anyway, how about? Go shopping some more?"
Lin Jinlian laughed twice.
"No, if Sister Jiuyue is interested in our village chief, I'll bring her over for a walk after dinner. Now let's go home first, so that my mother and the others won't be waiting anxiously."
Lin Jiuyue was speechless.
Why didn't you mention that you were worried your family would be waiting anxiously when you wanted to show off in the village just now? Now that someone has said something to me, I feel like going home in shame. Tsk tsk.
"Okay, let's go back first."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, he whipped the horse's butt lightly and walked towards the house that Lin Jinlian pointed to.
Lin Dongming and his family rented a thatched hut from a village family that had been abandoned. The house was in a state of disrepair. It was unclear whether Lin Dongming and his family were lazy or simply didn't have the time, but two holes in the thatch had been blown off and they hadn't patched them.
The weather has been good these days and it hasn't rained. If it rained, wouldn't it be heavy rain outside and light rain inside?
When Lin Jinlian saw Lin Jiuyue looking around her house with a look of disgust on her face from time to time, her expression suddenly turned ugly.
When Lin Jiuyue and her brother lived with my family before, the house they lived in was not much different from the one we live in now. I didn't see her dislike it then. How long has it been? Has she forgotten the hard life she lived through?
"Haha, sister Jiuyue, my family is poor, and the place we live in can't compare to yours. Please don't despise it. Come on, go in and sit down."
Lin Jinlian pulled Lin Jiuyue and walked towards the yard.
Just then, Liu Xiaohua walked out of the house.
"Hey, September is here? Come in and sit down."
Lin Jiuyue twitched the corners of her mouth, forcing a smile.
Lin Jiuyue hadn't forgotten how this family had treated the original owner. But today, they were acting so abnormally and being so enthusiastic towards her. If they said nothing was wrong, she would never believe it.
Without changing his expression, he let Lin Jinlian pull him into the yard. Liu Xiaohua brought a bench for him, and Lin Jiuyue did not refuse and sat down directly.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiaohua brought out a bowl of water from the house and handed it to Lin Jiuyue.
"Jiuyue girl, you must be thirsty after traveling all the way here. Come, drink some water to moisten your throat."
Lin Jiuyue looked down at the bowl of water in front of her. There were still some vegetable leaves stuck to the edge of the bowl. If you didn't know better, you would think the bowl was not washed after a meal.
It makes me feel sick just looking at it. I don't know how they have the nerve to take it out and use it to fill water for people.
"No, I'm not thirsty."
Seeing Lin Jiuyue's disrespect, Liu Xiaohua's expression instantly turned ugly.
"Mom, since sister Jiuyue doesn't want to drink, forget it. By the way, is the meal ready?"
Lin Jinlian quietly pulled Liu Xiaohua's hand, signaling Liu Xiaohua to "put the overall situation first."
After being reminded by Lin Jinlian, Liu Xiaohua endured it again and again, and finally forced a smile.
"It will be ready soon, it will be ready soon, you guys sit down for a while."
Not long after, Liu Xiaohua's voice came from the kitchen.
Following the call of "It's time to eat", Lin Jiuyue was pulled by Lin Jinlian to sit down.
"Jiuyue, Auntie knew you were coming today, so she bought some meat when she came back yesterday. Come on, try it."
Lin Jiuyue looked at the food on the table.
A dish of stir-fried cabbage with meat. The meat was chopped into small pieces and could only be considered a little oily.
A plate of pickled vegetables and a bowl of wild vegetable egg drop soup. They probably only used one egg. And the soup was probably cooked without even cleaning the pot. There was a dark, unidentified substance floating in the soup. Lin Jiuyue lost her appetite just by looking at it.
"It's been a while since you've tasted the food cooked by your aunt, right? Come on, September, try it."
Liu Xiaohua 'attentively' handed the chopsticks to Lin Jiuyue. Lin Jiuyue was still immersed in the shock of the dish and hadn't reacted. The chopsticks were already in Lin Jiuyue's hand.
Looking at the black chopsticks in his hand, Lin Jiuyue frowned in disgust.
The dish is not good because I don’t have the money to buy it. I won’t say anything about it, but the chopsticks are also pitch black. I don’t know whether they are washed or not.
Thinking that this family might not even wash their chopsticks after eating, Lin Jiuyue lost her appetite even more.
"You guys eat, I'm not hungry yet."
Lin Jiuyue put the chopsticks on the table and looked at Lin Dongming's family with a smile.
These things are worse than what I ate when I was fleeing from the famine. Besides, I didn't come here to eat their food.
When Liu Xiaohua heard Lin Jiuyue's words, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her face.
"Oh, Jiuyue, how can you not be hungry? Do you dislike the food at your aunt's house?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded expressionlessly.
“I do feel a little disgusted.”
Liu Xiaohua: ...
Lin Dongming and his family looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
If it were an ordinary person, who wouldn't be polite and say something like "I don't mind."
But this damn girl didn't give any face at all, wasn't afraid of offending anyone, and actually spoke out her disgusted words directly!
“Heh, heh…”
Lin Dongming laughed awkwardly twice.
Lin Jinshan, who was sitting next to him, finally couldn't help it.
"Lin Jiuyue, don't be so ungrateful. We haven't had meat in a long time. In order to entertain you, we even bought meat, and you actually despised it!"
Lin Jiuyue said expressionlessly.
"What does this have to do with me? Is it me who caused your family's poverty?"
"Besides, according to what you just said, you can eat meat now because of me. Shouldn't you be thanking me? Why are you blaming me instead?"
Lin Jinshan threw his chopsticks onto the table with a 'bang'.
"Lin Jiuyue, you, you are shameless. Do you think our family is willing to buy meat for you? If not..."
Lin Jinshan suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and shut his mouth awkwardly.
Lin Jiuyue blinked and looked at Lin Jinshan as if he was watching a good show.
"Or what?"
"Nothing. I cooked delicious food for you, but you still despised it. Do you really think you're a rich lady? You're just putting on airs! Humph!"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
In the past, Lin Jiuyue might have thought that the meal prepared by the Lin family today was delicious, but now she couldn’t finish all the delicious food and drinks every day, and she didn’t even look down on the meal prepared by the Lin family.
To me, the food prepared by the Lin family today is not as good as the food I eat at home!
No, Bubble's food is better than mine! How can they compare to Bubble?
"Isn't it just right that I don't eat? You can have a few more bites. Anyway, the purpose of you calling me here today is not to eat."
