The Lin family next door.
Another pot of steaming white flour dumplings was cooked and served.
It was a rare treat for the family of five to enjoy such a sumptuous dinner.
The pork cracklings, balanced by the Chinese cabbage and the fragrant white flour, are not greasy at all.
On the contrary, it is very fragrant.
Everyone ate to their heart's content.
Even Lin Yu ate six or seven dumplings.
Lin Yan ate nearly twenty fat dumplings in one go!
Although Lin Zhenghong's workplace in town provided him with room and board.
But every day, all three meals consisted of bland, watery soup.
Only every five or six days can you see a little bit of fishy scum or fatty meat.
So once he ate the first dumpling, he couldn't stop eating it.
I ate more than thirty in a row before I was satisfied.
After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he realized that he had actually eaten white flour dumplings.
I felt quite guilty.
He believed that his wife was willing to buy some flour and fatty meat because he rarely went home.
“This…you don’t need to spend so much on me next time. I provide meals every day in town, and the food is quite good. You and your children are so thin, so you need to eat more meat. Now that we’ve separated the family, I earn a good monthly wage, so you don’t need to save money anymore.”
"Big sister is amazing! She can hunt wild boars and eat meat!"
Upon hearing the word "meat," Lin Yu became so excited that she clapped and danced with joy.
Upon hearing the word "wild boar," Lin Zhenghong's eyes widened in shock.
"Honey, you went hunting wild boar?! Are you alright?"
“Father, I wasn’t hurt. It fell into the trap I set and died. I then carried them to the restaurant in town to sell them.”
Lin Yan is becoming more and more adept at using the title "father."
She felt that they were her biological parents.
And she is their precious daughter whom they have always cherished.
"Hahaha! My daughter is amazing! She can even set traps now! Let's see who dares to look down on our family now!"
He's in his thirties, but he's as happy as a child.
He couldn't wait to take a gong and drum and go from house to house showing off his daughter!
Lin Zhenghong's excitement lasted until the evening...
It wasn't until he had washed up and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) that he remembered his important business.
He took a string of coins out of his bundle and handed it to Ye Lan.
"This is last month's wages. Twenty coins were used to buy candied fruit, and the rest is here. From now on, you only need to give your parents one hundred coins a month. Now that we have more money, remember to buy more meat to eat on weekdays. You and the children need to be well-nourished."
"And you're the one talking! Look at yourself, you've gotten so thin. It's obvious you haven't been eating well outside. Now that our daughter is doing well, we don't lack food at home, and we can always eat meat. Keep this money; how can you be penniless when you're out and about!"
Looking at that heavy string of coins, Ye Lan was deeply moved.
After her husband received his monthly wages, he was reluctant to spend a single penny on himself.
All the wages were given to her.
“My wife loves me the most. Don’t worry, my employer provides food and lodging, and there’s meat every day. I don’t need to carry any money with me. Besides, the area where I live is a mixed bag, and there are thieves in town. It’s too dangerous to keep money with me. I can only feel at ease if it’s at home.”
Unable to refuse, Ye Lan could only accept the heavy string of copper coins from his hand.
They were carefully placed in the cabinet in the corner of the kang (heated brick bed) and hidden away.
Because the cabinet was a bit low, she could only kneel and crouch on the kang (a heated brick bed), her back arched.
From Lin Zhenghong's perspective.
You can see her rounded hips and slender waist perfectly.
With just one glance, the color in his eyes deepened.
Like a thirsty person who hasn't drunk sweet dew for a long time, their mouth and tongue are extremely dry.
I haven't seen you for half a month.
Lin Zhenghong was going crazy missing his wife!
Now that we've had our fill...
The desires hidden deep in my heart were all exposed under the cover of night...
As soon as Ye Lan hid the copper coins, before she could even turn around, Lin Zhenghong grabbed her waist and knocked her down onto the kang (a heated brick bed)!
The man stared at her with eyes like a hungry wolf.
"Brother Hong..."
Ye Lan missed them terribly after not seeing each other for so long.
She nestled against him like a little bird.
Under the bright moonlight, she appeared even more charming and beautiful.
Lin Zhenghong's Adam's apple bobbed, and he could no longer restrain himself, leaning forward...
...
Lin Yan had almost no free time from morning till night today.
So much so that as soon as she got onto the kang (heated brick bed) and touched the quilt, she would fall into a deep sleep.
However, due to his many years as a special forces soldier.
She opened her eyes abruptly when she heard an unusual sound.
When she finally realized the noise was coming from the east room, she felt ashamed...
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, they've really made quite a fuss!
She was so embarrassed that she wanted to fall asleep immediately.
But unfortunately, their house was too dilapidated and not very soundproof.
And her five senses are incredibly sharp.
Now she's a little envious of her younger siblings' good sleep.
Half an hour has passed, and the commotion from the next room still hasn't stopped...
Instead, it's getting worse!
Lin Yan had lost all will to live...
The biological father's ability is truly remarkable.
It seems her mother had good taste, choosing a man who was good in every way except for being poor.
No wonder that having terrible in-laws doesn't affect their relationship.
Meanwhile, in Xiaolin Village, an unprecedented argument is taking place at home!
"Father, I want to marry Prince Xie! I don't care, you go to their house tomorrow to propose marriage."
Ever since Lin Xinghua met Xie Muqing that day, she could never forget his stunningly beautiful face.
Lin Zhenglu is about to be driven crazy by his daughter!
He should have known better than to take his daughter to the Xie family.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have become so obsessed with him after just one meeting, constantly clamoring to marry him.
A disgraced playboy.
What's the use of having a pretty face?
Being good-looking doesn't put food on the table!
"He's not the heir apparent anymore! Not only that, he's paralyzed, penniless, and has such a large family. He'll never be able to turn his life around. Are you out of your mind to marry him? Do you want to drive your father to his death?"
"I don't care, I'm going to marry him. Even if he's paralyzed, I'll take care of him. Father, I won't marry anyone but him! Compared to Prince Xie, all other men are as ugly as dog shit."
Lin Xinghua is sixteen years old this year, and Lin Zhenglu and his wife are currently looking for a husband for her.
My daughter isn't exceptionally beautiful, but she's certainly well-mannered.
Because of this, she was never allowed to work in the fields from a young age, and her skin is fair. In the past two years, quite a few suitors have come to propose marriage to her.
Who would have thought that my daughter would suddenly act recklessly, insisting on marrying Xie Muqing despite her own death.
"Don't even think about marrying a paralyzed man. Do you want the whole village to laugh at your family for marrying your daughter to a paralyzed man? Don't even think about going out for the next few days. Stay home and behave yourself. I'll find you a very good husband."
Lin Zhenglu stormed off in anger, telling his wife to keep a close eye on their daughter.
Watching his departing figure, Lin Xinghua narrowed her eyes.
A bold idea suddenly popped into my head.
