Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Linjia Village was destined to be restless tonight. All the villagers gathered in the yard in front of the old Lin's house, singing and dancing. Everyone held a bowl and scooped up a full bowl of wild rabbit meat, eating it with relish.

Everyone praised Tinghe with a smile on their face. These days being able to eat wild vegetables and survive is considered a good life, but being able to let the whole village eat meat together, and it is fresh meat from live animals slaughtered and delivered to the door, it is simply a life better than a god's.

The whole village was happy and excited about today's rabbit meat. The only one who looked indignant was Lin Zhaodi's mother Liu. She quietly pulled Tinghe aside to find out the origins of the rabbit, and then she complained unhappily:

"Zhao Di, how did you become like this? This rabbit meat should have been the private property of our Lin family. Isn't it a pity to give so much meat away to the villagers for free? If you send all this meat to your uncle's house, won't your uncle's cousin be able to eat it for a long time? Even if you exchange the meat for money, you can get a few more books and writing materials. Wouldn't that be just right? Why do you want to give all the meat to the villagers? When did you become so bad that your mother doesn't recognize you? It's fine if you don't listen, but you don't use such good luck for yourself, but let outsiders get it."

Lin Lao Er, as Lin Zhaodi's father, also sighed helplessly and nodded, echoing:

"Your mother is right. We don't have any male heirs in our family. We are counting on your cousin to make a name for himself in the future. Dad is also counting on your cousin to break pots. How can we give so much rabbit meat away to outsiders if we don't send it to your uncle's family?"

Ting He rolled his eyes speechlessly and retorted:

"Mom, you call your uncle and cousin every day, and send back all the good things you have. You didn't hesitate to wrong me and Pan Di for your mother's family, but what did you get in return? My head was injured so badly that I was about to die, but you still couldn't bear to spend your few copper coins and left them to my cousin to study. If it wasn't for grandma using money to find a doctor to save my life, I would probably be dead now. How can you have the nerve to say such things? If you think your uncle and cousin are capable, you can bring dad to marry into your Liu family. This is our Lin family, and our grandparents are the ones who make the decisions. Why are you angry with me, a child? Do you have the right to talk to me? If you have the ability, go talk to grandparents."

After saying this, Ting He was ready to turn around and leave, but Liu kept pulling Ting He, crying and saying:

"Zhao Di, how did you become such an unreasonable person? Didn't mother teach you to refute your parents' words and make things difficult for them since you were a child? Mother knows that it's all mother's fault. Mother's belly is useless and can't give birth to a boy for the Lin family. That's why your grandparents, uncles and aunts all look down on your mother. That's why mother is humble and careful in this family. It's because mother is not ambitious and has no son to support her. She doesn't get the understanding of her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law and is always bullied. Your father saw mother being humiliated and couldn't bear it, so he helped your uncle's family more. Isn't this also planning for the future? What if your cousin succeeds and passes the imperial examination and becomes a scholar and the top scholar, he can also help our Lin family. Why don't you listen? You don't look like Zhao Di today. Mother even thinks you are possessed by a monster. My Zhao Di is considerate and obedient. When did she become as sharp-tongued as you?"

Ting He really couldn't express his feelings at the moment with just a big eye roll, and he shouted angrily:

"It's fine if you subsidize your mother's family, but you also brainwashed my father and made him turn his elbow out. Don't you know what kind of person your nephew from your mother's family is? Grandma said that he would always cry about being poor to you during the holidays. Our Lin family's things have never been sent to you. In the eyes of the Liu family, you are just a money jar. When you have no money or food, you come to you for money. It's fine if you suffer yourself, but you also wronged me, Pan Di and my father to go with you to please the Liu family. If I hadn't hit my head, I wouldn't understand it. I was about to die, and you refused to save me. My life was saved by grandma, and it has nothing to do with you. Don't try to force me to do something I don't want to do. I didn't mean to do anything. If you feel sorry for the rabbit meat, you can go and talk to grandma. At worst, you and dad have grown hands, so you can go and snatch the meat from the villagers. Can't you just give it to your mother's family? Why are you talking to me? I'll tell you, you can't have a boy because you are too cruel to your own child and don't care about him. You only care about your mother's family. Rather than living like this from the age of three to eighty, I'd rather not be your daughter. It was grandma who saved me. From now on, I will be your granddaughter and have nothing to do with you, Liu family. What do you want to do? You can't tell me. If you force me again, I will go to the village chief to change the documents and cut off all ties with you."

Hearing Heqi's angry roar and seeing Liu's slap about to hit her, she hurriedly dodged and shouted:

"Grandpa, grandma, help me, my mother wants to beat me for the rabbit meat, wuwuwu, my mother wants to beat me."

Old Lady Lin's ears were really sharp. She ran over very quickly and saw from a distance that Liu and her second son were standing fiercely in front of Zhaodi. Liu was raising her hand to hit Zhaodi in the face. She walked up to Liu and pushed her, causing her to stumble. She said impatiently:

"What are you doing? You didn't eat enough meat on such a good day or what? What's wrong with Zhaodi? Are you shameless as parents? Don't you want to stay in Linjia Village? Everyone is eating meat happily, but you are still making trouble. What's wrong? Do you think everyone is not worthy of eating this meat? Or should you not save Zhaodi? What's the meaning of putting on such a horrible look? You sluts are always robbing the roof over the tiles if you don't punish them for three days. You have bad habits. As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you are going to do. You don't like the rabbit meat that Zhaodi brought back, so you share it with the villagers? What's the matter, Lin Laoer, do you still want to help your slutty wife cut off the rabbit meat and send it to her parents' home? You are not afraid that the Liu family will be stuffed to death if you send hundreds of rabbits. You are really a piece of shit. If you were not my child, Lin Laoer, I would have kicked you out long ago, you useless thing. You are always hanging on your wife's belt, but you have no skills at all, and you only know how to bully Zhaodi? If you want rabbit meat, tell me. Why are you beating Zhaodi? You are really a piece of shit. I have said this today. This rabbit is a beast from the back mountain. Zhaodi brought it back. There is nothing wrong with sharing it with the villagers. What's more, where were you when Zhaodi was dying? It was the villagers who rescued Zhaodi when she was besieged by rabbits. Where were you? You are either slacking off or being lazy. What a thing. Now you have the nerve to open your mouth and ask for meat. I tell you, it's impossible. Liu, if you dare to steal some rabbit meat today and send it to your mother's family, I will divorce you on behalf of Lin Laoer. If Lin Laoer is still so confused, I will drive you out together and let Zhaodi live with us in the future. I will do what I say. If I find that a piece of rabbit meat is missing, I will immediately drive you out of the old Lin family and let you fend for yourselves. "
