Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

At noon the sun shines vertically on the ground.

The thick white bone soup on the table was steaming. Lin poured half a bucket of water into the pot. Large pieces of braised pork rolled in the pot. She put a bamboo steamer on it and steamed the rice together.

There was a sweet fragrance in the air.

Lin wiped her hands and said, "We can have dinner in a quarter of an hour."

Just as he finished speaking, stumbling footsteps were heard outside the door.

"Aunt San, my sixth brother was beaten..."

Lin immediately opened the door and ran out with Li Qiu. Cui Zhaozhao hurriedly added a handful of firewood to the bottom of the pot and caught up with them.

Near the foot of the mountain, we saw several people surrounding Xiaoliu from afar.

Xiaoliu lay on the ground and said, "I found this first. This nest of eggs is mine. You can't take it away!"

"This is our village's land. Where did you come from? This egg is ours!"

"Take out the eggs quickly, or don't blame us for being rude."

"You're so young and stealing things, no wonder your father doesn't want you."

Several people grabbed Xiaoliu and tried to snatch the eggs.

"Let him go!"

Lin walked to Xiaoliu's side and glanced at the people surrounding Xiaoliu with a sullen face.

There were three half-grown boys and two women beside them. The woman who had just falsely accused Xiaoliu of stealing was big and strong, and she stood firmly in her place. The other slender woman hid behind her.

When Xiaoliu saw Lin, she burst into tears: "Mom, I didn't steal it. I found it first."

Lin wiped Xiaoliu's tears away and said, "I believe you. Don't be afraid of your mother coming. Get up first."

Xiaoliu covered his chest and carefully got up from the ground. His chest was wet and egg liquid was dripping down.

Two of the five eggs were broken.

Xiaoliu's tears, which had just stopped, began to flow again.

Lin didn't recognize any of the people who stole the eggs, but Cui Zhaozhao recognized one of the women, who was the widow Qin who was riding in the same car with her.

"We saw the egg first, and my mother can testify to that." A boy said confidently.

Widow Qin nudged the stout woman beside her. The woman opened her mouth and said, "Erzhu saw it first. Just now, he..."

"Erzhu just came to call us and said there was a nest of pheasant eggs. When we came over, we found that the eggs had been stolen by him." Seeing that Mrs. Wu couldn't say anything, Widow Qin poked her head out.

Lin spoke slowly, "Xiaoliu is only five years old, and he can already hold all five eggs in his arms. Erzhu is already over ten years old, and he still needs to call his parents for an egg?"

Mrs. Wu's face immediately turned dark and red. Widow Qin wanted to say something but was interrupted by Mrs. Lin's cold voice.

"A few eggs aren't worth much. Take them if you want." Erzhu reached out his hand immediately after hearing this. Lin glared at him, "But first, since you maliciously injured me, tell me how you want to compensate me."

There were scratches all over Xiaoliu's thin white elbows, and a small footprint was clearly visible on his pants.

"Jingwen, you've read books, so tell me how the government handles cases of wounding someone."

Cui Jingwen was named, but he had just traveled through time and had no idea what the laws were. But the next second, one law after another appeared in his mind like subtitles.

"The law provides that anyone who injures or strikes another with an object shall be punished with sixty strokes of the cane."

Accompanied by the cold tone, Widow Qin and the others were stunned.

It was just a minor scrape, not even a trace of blood, so how did it become involved with the government? When the villagers were quarreling, at most the head of the village would come out to mediate, but no one would report it to the government.

Lin pulled Xiaoliu behind her. The villagers were afraid of officials, but she was not. Since there was a law, there was no need to waste words.

"The footprints on Xiaoliu's body are the evidence. I'll ask Doctor Luo to take a look later. Jingwen, go back and write a complaint. Let's settle this account properly."

The few people who had been so confident just now suddenly wilted. Mrs. Wu slapped Erzhu on the head and said, "This kid was just joking with Xiaoliu. It's just a child's joke. It's not that serious."

As he spoke, he took the backpack beside him and poured out the contents.

"These are freshly picked. They are all for you."

Lin looked at Widow Qin, and Widow Qin's eyes flashed with jealousy and resentment. She said hatefully, "Give it to you."

Widow Qin's backpack contained only a small amount of things, all of which were green balls of unfamiliar stuff.

Lin was puzzled by Widow Qin's expression, but Cui Zhaozhao knew in her heart that this was the debt of her scumbag father's love affair.

After hearing that Mrs. Lin agreed not to pursue the matter further, Mrs. Wu quickly left with her child. Although Widow Qin was unwilling, she had no choice but to leave.

There were wild vegetables, mushrooms, and a small pile of green balls belonging to Widow Qin spread out on the ground, but the system didn't recognize them.

Lin's gaze lingered on the pile of green hair balls for a few seconds, and the corners of his lips curled up.

Xiaoliu and Liqiu both brought backpacks. Lin split the things in two, picked up the green ball and asked Liqiu, "Do you recognize this thing?"

"Aunt San, this one isn't tasty. I picked up two before, and neither pigs nor chickens would eat it."

Lin smiled and said, "Then Aunt San will take these green balls back, and these things belong to you." After that, she put the wild vegetables and mushrooms into Liqiu's backpack.

"This is for my sixth brother. I don't want it, Third Aunt..." Li Qiu's face turned red with anxiety.

Lin's voice was gentle: "If you hadn't come back to report the news, Xiaoliu might have been beaten. You deserve it."

Xiaoliu thought about it, took out an egg from his arms and gave it to Liqiu.

Mr. Cui lived on the west side of the village. He watched Li Qiu enter the house and the Lin family members walk home briskly.

Cui Zhaozhao flattered her, "Mom, you looked so handsome just now."

Lin is arrogant. She has been a leader for more than ten years and she has done it for nothing. She can easily scare a few kids.

There was a pool of egg liquid on Xiaoliu's chest, emitting an egg fragrance. Cui Zhaozhao turned his head and saw that the boy was secretly licking his clothes with his head down.

Thinking of the look in Widow Cui's eyes just now, Cui Zhaozhao couldn't help but feel angry.

Sensing her daughter's mood change, Lin tilted her head to ask. Cui Zhaozhao told her about the encounter between the ox cart and the widow Qin. After hearing the whole story, Lin seemed to be lost in thought.

Cui Zhaozhao was puzzled: "Mom, aren't you angry?"

Lin scratched her neck and said, "If he was your father, I would definitely be angry, but he has no feelings for us. It's enough to know what kind of person he is. I'm happy that he has someone else and divorced me."

If she had to have any emotion, she just felt a little disgusted with Cui Chengliang.

Flirting with other women has nothing to do with her, but she cannot hurt the children.

The braised pork in the pot was bubbling and exuding an intriguing meaty aroma.

Xiaoliu's eyes were glued to the meat.

Last night I dreamed of eating a small piece of fat meat. I was so happy that I held it in my mouth for a long time and didn’t want to swallow it. There was actually a pot of it here!

Xiaoliu excitedly reached out his hand to his elder brother who was burning the fire nearby.

“Ahhh! It hurts!!!”

Cui Jingwen almost fell into the pot in so much pain. He jumped up with his arms hugged and glared at Xiaoliu who was grinning foolishly beside him.

"Why are you pinching me?"

"Hehehe, it's not a dream, it's real meat." Xiaoliu's tears of happiness flowed down the corners of his mouth.

Lin pushed Cui Jingwen aside and said, "Don't get in the way here. Go help Xiaoliu take off his clothes and wash them."

Cui Jingwen complained aggrievedly: "Mom, he pinched me and you didn't do anything about it."

Lin gently touched his head and said, "Be good, today we are having a family reunion dinner with our family of four, don't force me to scold you."

It happens every time!

He used to have the lowest status in the family, but now he has a younger brother, and he didn’t expect that he still has the lowest status!

Cui Jingwen led Xiaoliu to the side room with tears in his eyes, fetched a basin of water, and vented his anger on his clothes.
