It's unacceptable to watch a bunch of kids fight.
"It's just fish, wait a minute."
There was still some food left in the room, but not much.
Yin Lan brought it out.
Da Hu glared at Tian Youwei, forbidding him from eating. He had already finished eating, so he wouldn't eat anymore, but he wouldn't allow Tian Youwei to eat either!
When Erhu saw the fish, his tears gradually stopped.
Da Wa and Er Wa knew that fish was delicious, and they were willing to give it to Da Hu and Er Hu, but Tian Youwei refused to let either of them have it.
Yin Lan gave some to Da Wa, Er Wa, Da Hu, and Er Hu, and the rest were just some fish bones.
Tian Youwei saw this and, without any hesitation, picked up the fish bones and started chewing on them.
this...
Yin Lan watched as he ate with great relish.
Deep down, she still felt a pang of pity. The original owner of this body had many conflicts with Widow Ye, but the child was innocent. His current state was a consequence of his parents' upbringing, yet he ate the fish bones with such relish...
well.
Yin Lan gave Tian Youwei some soup served in a leaf, which he drank in one gulp.
Tian Youwei had been squatting here for a long time. He had gone to the mountains and torn his clothes, and his body was covered in wounds. He was already in a lot of pain. When he got back, his mother beat him up, so he definitely wouldn't get any dinner.
He ate some wild fruits in the mountains all day, and when he got hungry, he went out and, as if possessed, ended up at Yin Lan's place. He squatted outside for a long time, almost overwhelmed by the delicious aroma wafting from inside.
Later, when Da Hu and Er Hu arrived, Tian Youwei, seeing the flesh with his own eyes, could no longer bear it and rushed out.
He ate a small bite of meat, which wasn't quite enough, but it was enough to satisfy him.
The eldest and second children were very indignant.
“There are only so many fish left. If you want more, Da Wa caught some in the river behind the village. You can catch some too,” Yin Lan said.
Tian Youwei snorted, "I'm not stupid."
Last time he went to the mountains to look for pheasants, he didn't see a single feather. The fish in the river were pitifully few; he had spent a whole day there before and hadn't caught a single one. He wouldn't go there again.
These two kids from the Chen family are incredibly lucky; good things always seem to happen to them.
Tian Youwei was very indignant.
Yin Lan was relieved to know that he wouldn't go to the river.
It's best not to let anyone discover your own fish "trap".
In an era of scarcity, she had to support three children herself; she was no saint.
"Want another drink? If you do, you're not allowed to bully people like this again." Yin Lan bargained with Tian Youwei.
"Okay, I won't fight them anymore."
I didn't expect him to agree so readily.
Tian Youwei then changed the subject, "I'll go beat up the others."
Yin Lan: ......
She looked at Tian Youwei, who was a head taller than her own child. He was strong and agile, so learning martial arts would be a good idea for him.
In this dynasty, bandits were rampant. Yin Lan's husband, who had no money to study or learn martial arts, relied entirely on his own hard work and secret learning to eventually be allowed to join a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) business. He risked his life countless times to save up some money to marry Yin Lan.
Tian Youwei scoffed, "I'm not going! It's exhausting! I'd rather die than go!"
He chewed the fish bones vigorously, then patted his bottom, stood up, and glared at the children. "Come and fight me if you dare. I won't hit you first, but if you do, I won't stand idly by."
After saying that, he chewed and carefully sucked the last bit of fish meat left on the fish bones, then patted his bottom and left.
After he had walked quite a distance, his stubborn gaze gradually dimmed.
"I absolutely won't go, I don't want to go, I... I don't care to go at all!" He tried hard to hold back his tears, his voice trembling slightly.
"Alright, no rush to move. It's too late now. Let's talk about it tomorrow," Yin Lan said to the two tigers.
Da Hu and Er Hu had eaten fish twice today, so naturally they did whatever Yin Lan said.
The eldest child was indignant, saying, "Why should I give him food that belongs to my family?"
Yin Lan glanced at the eldest child, "What? You like to eat fish bones? Okay, next time the second and third children will eat meat, and you can eat the fish bones?"
The eldest child immediately became unhappy and waved his hands frantically.
I realized that fish bones are indeed inedible, but they can be used to feed chickens and ducks, which are much cuter than Tian Youwei.
"Mom, let's raise some chicks and ducks from now on."
They can lay eggs and can also be stewed and eaten.
"When are we going to eat chicken and duck?" Erwa, who had only heard half of the question, caught the key words and immediately started drooling.
Yin Lan: ......
"But that's fine too. If you want to raise them, the Zen Master will be responsible for feeding them, repairing the chicken and duck coops."
Yin Lan herself didn't want to do it anyway.
The two little ones nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation.
When they don't want to work, they still have their father.
Before he even returned, Chen Yourun, who knew nothing about it, had his own child arrange everything perfectly for him.
The whole family enjoyed their dinner very much.
This ancient village had absolutely no entertainment activities; as soon as it got dark, every household would close their doors tightly.
The kids naturally go to bed early, and the adults don't have much entertainment, except for doing some couples' activities when they feel like it.
Thinking about this, Yin Lan couldn't help but think of the dream she had that afternoon.
Why would I have such a dream?
Also, what does her cheap husband actually look like?
It's strange how dreams work. Dreams seem to give you a setting, telling you that this person is very good-looking, but you can't see their face clearly at all.
