Lin Fan was undoubtedly the one who could empathize most with Zhang Weihao's current feelings, which is why he advised Zhang Weihao to be decisive and stop arguing with his parents.

Some people are indeed unfit to be parents.

It's time for Zhang Weihao to understand this principle.

In this world, the most passionate emotions should be reserved for those who deserve them most, and we shouldn't waste our excess emotions on those who don't.

As the onlookers gradually dispersed, Lin Fan led his wife and daughter home.

The family is complete, except for the second brother who is not here.

The whole family stood in the yard, chatting and laughing, which dispelled much of the unpleasant atmosphere from before.

Lin Fan looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Mom and Dad, brother-in-law and eldest sister, I'm making braised pork for you today!"

"Braised pork?"

Hearing this, the eldest sister, Lin Shuhan, glared at Lin Fan and muttered, "Shuying's hospitalization must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"I saw you just bought a lot of things, including milk and meat. You have money but don't know how to save it!"

"Come with me, I have something to tell you!"

After Lin Shuhan finished speaking, she walked into the room.

Seeing this, Lin Fan smiled helplessly and followed.

"Big sister, what's wrong?"

"Hmph, I'm asking you, where did this money come from? Did the Ye family give it to you?"

Lin Shuhan stared at Lin Fan with wide eyes.

Before Lin Fan could speak, Lin Shuhan sighed deeply and said, "Lin Fan, I know the Ye family is rich, and you have always looked down on Mom and Dad."

"But your parents raised you for so many years and even married Shuying to you."

"I won't go into how you've treated Shuying all these years; you know it in your heart!"

"What, now that you've brazenly accepted money from the Ye family, are you really planning to call yourself Ye Fan and abandon our family from now on?"

Lin Shuhan's tone was somewhat sharp.

If it were the old Lin Fan, he might have argued with her over these words.

After all, returning to the Ye family had always been his obsession, and he had always felt that there was nothing wrong with wanting to go back to his biological parents.

He was no longer the Lin Fan he once was. Having lived a second life, he understood some things very well. So, when faced with his elder sister's questioning, Lin Fan still smiled and shook his head: "Elder sister, you've misunderstood."

"I earned the money myself, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the Ye family!"

"Mom knows about this too. You can ask her if you don't believe me."

"You earned it yourself?"

Lin Shuhan glanced at Lin Fan suspiciously, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Lin Fan and said with some surprise, "Second brother, you always argued with me when I talked to you about these things before, but you've changed your mind this time?"

Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "Big sister, I was ignorant before. You were only doing it for my own good. I won't argue with you anymore!"

Lin Shuhan looked at Lin Fan with some surprise and said in a low voice, "I don't want to care about anything else, but you can't let Shuying down in the future."

“Live a good life with Shuying. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, come to me and I will do my best to help.”

"Okay, thank you, big sister!"

Knowing that Lin Fan's money didn't come from the Ye family, Lin Shuhan felt much relieved and readily accepted the five hundred yuan he returned.

While his family was showing concern for Qiao'er and Lin Shuying, Lin Fan went straight to the kitchen.

They took out the two pounds of pork belly they just bought today, washed it, and then cut it into sesame paste cubes.

After preparing a series of ingredients such as scallions and ginger, I lit the stove and poured fragrant rapeseed oil into the large iron pot on the stove, preparing to make braised pork to treat my family.

Before long, a series of crackling sounds of oil popping and sizzling filled the kitchen.

Lin Fan skillfully completed the entire process of caramelizing sugar, adding meat chunks to color it, adding seasonings and stir-frying until fragrant, adding soy sauce and warm water.

Just over ten minutes later, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat.

In the courtyard, Xiuying, who had just returned from playing with her friends in the village, smelled this aroma and unconsciously swallowed. She skipped and hopped to the kitchen door, blinking her big eyes as she peered inside.

Hearing the noise, Lin Fan turned around and met his eyes with his little niece Xiuying, giving her a smile.

"uncle!"

Xiuying's eyes darted around, looking at Lin Fan with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness, and she subconsciously called out.

Lin Fan waved to Xiuying: "Xiuying, come here!"

Xiuying hesitated for a moment, but still obediently put her hands behind her back, lowered her head and slowly walked to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan stood up, picked up Xiuying, patted her head, and smiled, "Xiuying, do you want to eat meat?"

Xiuying twitched her small nose, smelling the rich, fragrant aroma of meat coming from the kitchen, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"miss you!"

The little girl answered sweetly, looking at her somewhat unfamiliar uncle with a little bit of unease.

"Haha, Xiuying, be good. We can eat in half an hour. From now on, your uncle will let you eat meat every meal!"

In those days, it was not a problem for every family to have enough to eat, but they had not yet reached the point where they could eat meat at every meal.

In poorer families, meat and vegetables are only eaten during festivals. The Lin family, whose conditions are considered average, can afford to buy two or three ounces of pork to cook a dish whenever they feel like it.

The little girl remembered that the last time she ate meat was more than a month ago, and it was only a few small pieces. She had never eaten a dish like braised pork, where every bite was full of meat, in her entire life.

Hearing her uncle's words, the little girl swallowed hard, a hint of longing appearing in her eyes.

Lin Fan teased the little girl for a bit while waiting for the stew to finish!

Half an hour later, the fluffy white rice and the fragrant braised pork were served at the same time.

Lin Fan carried a small basin and filled it with all the braised pork. Then he took out bowls and chopsticks and set them on the long table in the yard. He served each person a bowl of rice and called out.

"Mom and Dad, brother-in-law, dinner is ready!"

A short while later, several people helped Lin Shuying out of the room.

Everyone's eyes widened at the sight of a large plate of braised pork.

Lin Shuhan glared and said, "Second brother, are you crazy? Why did you put so much meat in?"

Zhang Weihao and Lin Desheng didn't say anything, but just looked at the braised pork in the pot and swallowed.

Lin Fan's braised pork was reddish-brown, fatty but not greasy, and had a fragrant aroma that made one's mouth water just by looking at it.

It was the first time Lin Shuying had seen Lin Fan cook, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

She never expected that her husband had secretly learned to cook, and that his skills looked pretty good.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chunlian smiled kindly and said, "It's alright, Shuhan, eat up. It's all from your second son's heartfelt wishes."

"Besides, Shuying is weak, so eating more meat is a good way to nourish her!"
