"That's right, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, we are really sorry for what happened that day. Our family has already scolded us, and we will definitely not do that again in the future."
Wang Erniu spoke sincerely, so even if Lin's mother was angry, she couldn't say anything more. If the Lin family continued to insist, it would seem that they were meddling.
"Forget it this time. You guys should go back quickly. We still have to go to the fields later."
Mother Lin started to chase them away as soon as she opened her mouth. If she looked at them a few more times, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but curse a few more times.
When Li Lanxiang and Wang Erniu heard this, they nodded repeatedly as if they had been pardoned, turned around and ran out.
"Mom, why did you let them go? Are you just going to let my little sister's matter go?"
Lin Changshun had a droopy face, looking unhappy.
Lin's mother rolled her eyes at him. This child was just too straightforward. If he couldn't let them go, he might as well beat them up.
If a fight really breaks out, then the Lin family will be the ones in the wrong, and what will the people in the village say about it?
And now Yun Chu really looks like he is fine. He didn't call a doctor at the time, so people outside don't know what exactly happened and can only see him like this.
The loss has already been suffered. I just need to be more careful next time. There is nothing I can do about those two people now.
"Okay, let's eat, and don't mention this again."
Father Lin spoke to the Lin family, then turned to Lin Yunchu and whispered softly, "Yunchu, try to avoid those gossipers in the village when you go out in the future, or wait for your mother before going out together."
Father Lin knew Lin Yunchu's personality very well, and was afraid that she would suffer again if she went out alone. Now they were busy in the fields, and their family could not always be by her side to look after her.
Lin Yunchu's mouth curled up. Her original personality was so soft-tempered. It seemed that the Lin family didn't want her to go out, for fear that she would be wronged.
The person here now is her. She is very different from her original self. If she encounters a situation like the one a few days ago, who knows who will be the one who faints from anger.
But she didn't dare say this out loud, fearing that the Lin family would become even more worried later, so she continued along with Lin's father's words: "I know, Dad. I am different now. If I meet those two again, I will definitely not be bullied."
Father Lin smiled softly, and he just thought that Lin Yunchu was comforting him.
"Hurry up and eat, there's still work to be done in the fields."
The matter was over, and the Lin family sat back at the table and started eating lunch.
You know what, the dish today is really delicious. Yun Chu just said that it was made by her.
It’s hard to tell what kind of dish this is. It seems to taste different from what we usually eat, although that’s partly because of the eggs.
However, the taste of this vegetable is a little bitter, but after swallowing it, it has a sweet aftertaste, which makes people want to eat it again after taking one bite.
And the pickled cabbage is what we eat on a daily basis. It is pickled by Lin's mother herself, but it seems to be especially delicious when fried like this today.
"Mom, what kind of dish is this? Why is it different from what we usually eat?"
Lin Changshun took two bites and couldn't help but ask his mother, "It's hard to tell what kind of dish it is from the looks of it, but after taking one bite, I want more. It's so sweet."
After hearing what Lin Changshun said, Lin's father nodded and said, "Yes, there are eggs in it. This soup is really delicious."
It doesn't look like there is much oil on it, and it's similar to the usual dishes without much oil, but why does it taste so different?
Mother Lin took a few bites and thought the same thing as them. She smiled and said, "This is what I usually pick to feed the chickens. Yun Chu said it was edible, but I didn't believe it at first. I didn't expect it to be so good and not too bitter."
After saying that, he raised his head and asked Lin Yunchucun, "Yunchu, what was the name of this dish you mentioned today? And why does it taste completely different from the one I cooked before?"
Lin Yunchu smiled and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Changan.
"I know this, I know this. My sister said this is called bitter hemp vegetable. I just helped to light the fire. I blanched it and then made the soup."
Lin Yunchu was immediately delighted when he saw his younger brother like this. He began to explain to everyone in the Lin family:
"Chang'an is right. This vegetable is commonly found in the fields. If you eat it directly, it tastes very bitter. But if you blanch it in water and cook it into soup or stir-fry it, it will be very sweet and refreshing."
After a pause, he said very seriously: "The most important thing is that this dish doesn't use a lot of oil at all."
This dish is really suitable for their family to eat now. She just looked and saw that there are a lot of them growing outside, enough for them to eat for a while.
If you get tired of eating it in soup, you can switch to stir-frying it. There are many ways to eat it.
"That's good. I used to pick them to feed the chickens. What a shame."
Mother Lin looked regretful. There were many chicken dishes, but not all of them were suitable for them.
Lin Yunchu smiled and said that it was nothing. Only the tender parts of the bitter vegetable could be eaten, and the old ones could be used to feed chickens.
Moreover, there is plenty of this vegetable outside and it grows fast, enough for their family to eat.
"Mom, it's okay. There are a lot of them growing outside. If you like, I'll pick some later and we can eat them in the evening."
When everyone in the Lin family heard this, they all nodded. This bowl was really not enough for them, and it would be best to have more in the evening.
"This pickled cabbage is also very refreshing. With today's bitter melon and porridge, I feel like my stomach is full."
Lin Changshun joked with a smile.
Lin Yunchu curled his lips. This second brother was the best at comforting people. There was soup and porridge. It was good enough to be full. There was no way he could overeat.
Seeing that the Lin family all loved to eat this dish, Lin Yunchu thought about picking more when he went out later, and then stir-frying it in the evening so that they could eat their fill.
Moreover, Lin Yunchu was thinking about taking a walk around the village to see if there was anything to eat.
Although these vegetables are delicious, if we eat them like this every day, there won’t be enough oil and water. We still have to find a way to improve the food for the Lin family.
Seeing how pale and thin they all were, Lin Yunchu felt anxious and distressed.
After lunch, Lin Yunchu and her mother went to the fields together. Lin Yunchu said she wanted to pick wild vegetables, so the Lin family left Lin Changan to accompany her.
Lin Yunchu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Her younger brother Lin Changan was only eight years old, but he had already had to take on the task of protecting her.
In order to reassure everyone in the Lin family, Lin Yunchu did not refuse. It would be better to bring Lin Changan with him, as he should be more familiar with the surroundings of the village.
It would be nice to let him take her around to have a look, so that she can get familiar with the situation around Qingxi Village and look for something to eat.
