The three lazy men were tempted by the smell of meat. They went home and ate a bowl of black flour porridge, but they still felt unsatisfactory.

Not only they smelled the fragrance just now, but many children also smelled it.

The children in Shanglin Village shouted to their parents and clamored for meat.

Even Lin Dahai's youngest son, Lin Dongzhi, was chattering non-stop.

The noise made Wang Chunxiu's head buzz.

I was still thinking about how to deal with my mother tomorrow, and my little son was making a fuss, which made my head feel like it was going to split.

"Xiaoxue, take your brother to play in the mud!" Wang Chunxiu shouted towards the inner room.

Lin Xiaoxue changed her clothes and walked out the door: "Mother, I still have to go find Xier! I've already made an agreement with her."

When Wang Chunxiu thought that her daughter's good relationship with Xier would help Lichun find a job, she said nothing and yelled at Lin Dahai who was collecting firewood in the yard.

"Boss, didn't you hear the baby crying?"

Lin Dahai put down the firewood, walked over to Dongzhi and squatted down, coaxing him awkwardly, "Dongzhi, why are you crying? Stop crying."

Wang Chunxiu, who was in a bad mood, was furious when she heard this and stood up. "What's wrong with the boss? Dongzhi has been yelling for meat so many times, and you pretended not to hear it?"

The sudden movement startled Dongzhi, and his crying immediately turned into soft sobs.

Lin Dahai said nothing, picked up Dongzhi and walked out.

"What are you doing?" Wang Chunxiu, who was ignored, couldn't stand it anymore and chased after Lin Dahai, "Boss, what do you mean? Am I wrong?"

Lin Dahai didn't know what to say, so he stopped and looked at Wang Chunxiu.

Wang Chunxiu was so angry at Lin Dahai's wooden behavior that she picked up Dongzhi and walked back.

He walked to the yard and threw Dongzhi to the ground, "Stop crying, why are you crying? Don't you know what our family conditions are? You can't even fill your stomach, and you still want to eat meat?"

Lin Dahai watched his wife venting her anger on the child and wanted to persuade her, but he didn't know how.

He was afraid that his advice would make his wife even more angry.

So he shook his head, went back to the yard, carried the hoe on his back and went out.

Wang Chunxiu cursed Dongzhi a few words, then turned around and found that Lin Dahai was gone.

My anger is like a deflated ball.

She pulled up Dongzhi and carried a backpack, "Come on, your cousin used to bring back bird eggs, let me take you to do it!"

After saying that, he turned around and called his eldest son in the backyard. "Lichun, go get the bird eggs!"

Lin Lichun looks honest and simple, and his personality is just like Lin Dahai.

When his mother called out to him, he put down the bamboo basket he was weaving halfway, got up and left.

Wang Chunxiu and the other two walked towards the foot of the mountain and wandered around for more than half an hour, but they didn't even see a bird, let alone bird eggs.

Wang Chunxiu had no choice but to go home.

A group of people passing by were all guessing where the smell of meat came from.

Wang Chunxiu stopped and she was also curious.

"It must have come from Xialin Village! Don't we know what every household in Shanglin Village is like? Are you going to give up the rest of your life just to eat some meat?"

"Maybe it's that lazy Lin Dajiang!"

"Lin Dajiang is not lazy now. A few days ago, I saw him weeding in the paddy fields every day. Even cows are not as hardworking as him."

"That's the Li family. Li Erli is good at hunting like his father. A few months ago, I saw Li Erli carrying a wild rabbit to the town to sell for money!"

"You said it was a wild rabbit. It's not that easy to catch wild animals in the mountains. Even Li Erli, who has some skills, would have taken the rabbit to exchange for money. Besides, he has a burden and a sickly old mother with him. He must have sold the wild animals to exchange for food!"

"It's not this or that. I mean it's the Lin Dajiang family. They can't change their ways overnight. Haven't you noticed that Dajiang's wife hasn't been to the fields recently?"

"Just the few plots of land that the old Lin family has? Hey! Can't Lin Dajiang handle one acre of land by himself? If I were Dajiang, I wouldn't let my wife go to the fields either!" Lin Da, the eldest son of the village head, said with a smile.

These people are really bored.

Instead of spending time gossiping, you might as well dig more earthworms to feed the chickens, or weave more bamboo baskets to sell in town when the market comes.

"Linda, you love your wife, but Lin Dajiang can't see it."

The speaker has no intention, but the listener takes it seriously.

Wang Chunxiu thought about the scene when she met Lin Dajiang's family before.

At first, she also suspected that her eldest brother's family had bought good things.

Could it be that the ones who ate the meat were really my eldest brother’s family?

Wang Chunxiu intuitively felt that the people who ate the meat were not her eldest brother's family, but she also felt uncomfortable.

Especially after walking around the foot of the mountain without seeing any bird eggs, Dongzhi's aggrieved expression, with tears on his face, made her feel even more unwilling to accept it.

In the past, the Lin family all ate black flour porridge, and everyone was the same no matter how hard or tiring the life was.

Now that the family has been divided, the good and the bad are immediately apparent.

I originally thought that the head of the family was honest and simple-minded, and that the eldest brother was a lazy and cunning man. However, after the family was divided, the eldest brother would not allow his sister-in-law to go to the fields.

As for her, she had to work like a horse or an ox in the fields and listen to her mother-in-law's ridicule.

The more Wang Chunxiu thought about it, the angrier she got. After taking Dongzhi home, she didn't care whether the child was hungry or not. She put Dongzhi down and went back to her room to lie down.

Lin Lichun knew that his mother was unhappy, so he went to the kitchen to light a fire and cook.

Dongzhi touched his belly and followed his brother into the kitchen.

"Brother, I'm hungry."

"Be good Dongzhi, brother will make you something to eat."

After dinner, Mrs. Lin saw her two grandsons cooking in the kitchen and asked casually, "Where's your mother, Dongzhi?"

Dongzhi: "In the room."

"What's going on?" Old Mrs. Lin walked over to the second son's door and started clapping loudly, "bang bang bang bang".

"You lazy bastard, you let two kids cook for you. Are you dying of illness or something?"

"Get up now! If you don't cook, what will you let Lao Er come back to eat?"

Wang Chunxiu reluctantly got up and opened the door. Before Old Lady Lin could start scolding, she took the initiative and said, "Mom, my eldest brother's family is eating meat. Did you get some meat for your parents?"

Old Mrs. Lin was confused. "What do you mean by eating meat?"

"Everyone in the village is talking about it! Mom, didn't you smell the meat? They all say it came from my eldest brother."

Wang Chunxiu observed the expression on Old Mrs. Lin's face and thought it would be best to make some noise. If she was unhappy, no one else would be happy either!

"Why didn't you give the meat to my parents to taste?"

"I knew that Li Taohua was a spendthrift woman! She didn't even know how many onions there were in the house, but she actually encouraged the whole family to eat meat like the landlords!" Old Mrs. Lin was furious after hearing what her second daughter-in-law said.

Among her three sons, the one she dislikes the most is the eldest.

The third brother is really capable, the second brother is at least hardworking, but the eldest brother is a lazy bastard and married a spendthrift woman.

Old Mrs. Lin couldn't wait any longer, and without bothering to scold Wang Chunxiu, she turned around and walked towards the end of the village in a threatening manner.

"Where are you going, old lady?" Old man Lin came back from the toilet and saw his wife rushing out before he even fastened his pants.

"Don't worry about it, old man."

Old Mrs. Lin left after saying a few words.

Based on Old Man Lin's understanding of her, he had a bad feeling and immediately chased after her while tying his pants.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Lin Dajiang, come out!"

The family washed the dishes, tidied up everything and were enjoying the cool air in the yard. Before they could even sit down, they heard Grandma Lin banging on the door.

Lin Dajiang stood up suddenly, "Jingzhe, rinse your mouth!"

Lin Jingzhe, who was still happily savoring the sour taste of the chili oil and the smoothness of the dumplings, suddenly jumped up and ran towards the water tank!

Lin Xiaoman ran back to the room, took out the peeled durian from the refrigerator, and slipped out of the room.

He scooped a little and put it in his mouth, then ran to the water tank and said in a low voice, "Dad, Mom, open your mouth—"

Lin Dajiang and Li Taohua did as they were told subconsciously.

The next second, a yellow, sticky, smelly thing entered my mouth.

The two were about to spit it out when they heard Lin Xiaoman say, "Take a few bites and eat it."

Lin Dajiang and Li Taohua did as they were told subconsciously.

Lin Xiaoman stuffed another mouthful into Lin Jingzhe and Lin Guyu's mouth and asked them to swallow it as well.

Even the little Lidong in Li Taohua's arms was no exception and was fed a small bite of durian by Lin Xiaoman.

The whole family was disgusted by the stink.

Lin Jingzhe held back his nausea, covered his chest and asked, "Xiao Man, are you feeding shit balls?"

Lin Dajiang, who was standing on the side, originally thought that although the food Xiaoman fed was smelly, it tasted pretty good!

But when I heard my son say this, I immediately felt so nauseous that I almost vomited out the dumplings I had eaten.

Lin Xiaoman didn't want to take out the durian either. She didn't know how to explain it afterwards.

But she was stupid and couldn't think of a better solution for a while.

She pointed at Guyu's mouth and said, "Smell it. Is there still meat smell in Guyu's mouth?"

Lin Jingzhe picked up Guyu and smelled it. Only a foul smell was left, with no smell of meat at all.

Li Taohua didn't believe it, so she also smelled it and felt like vomiting.

During this time, Old Lady Lin knocked even louder.

Those lazy fellows inside must be hiding some meat.

Lin Xiaoman held Xiao Lidong in his arms and ate the durian in two or three bites.

Lin Dajiang endured the stench and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Old Mrs. Lin smelled an indescribable stench and immediately took two steps back.

"Old lady, what are you doing? Are you smearing shit on your body to cover up the smell of meat?" Old Mrs. Lin pointed at Li Taohua's nose and cursed.
