Zhang Weihao was really bad with words, and couldn't say anything cheesy.

The mere act of giving him a gift was enough to make his face flush red and his heart pound.

When Lin Shuhan heard her husband's words, she was first stunned, and then she looked at the extremely beautiful and sparkling bracelet in his hand, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

"Why...why did you give me this out of the blue? You're wasting money."

Lin Shuhan's eyelids twitched, and she took the bracelet seemingly indifferently.

After taking a couple of glances, he was already grinning from ear to ear, his eyes crinkling with happiness.

However, she still complained to Zhang Weihao, blaming him for wasting money.

Looking at the genuine smile on his wife's face, Zhang Weihao couldn't help but smile sheepishly, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Lin Fan.

He loves his wife very much, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen out with his family.

But as Lin Fan said, he didn't know how to express his love.

Right now, all he's given her is a small bracelet, but Zhang Weihao feels that Lin Shuhan is showing the happiest smile they've had since they got married.

He immediately felt that the bracelet was a worthwhile gift, no matter how expensive it was!

"Alright, we're an old married couple now, I'm not a little girl anymore, so please buy less of these impractical things in the future."

Lin Shuhan held the bracelet with great affection, then carefully put it on her left wrist, raising her wrist to examine it closely.

She was still being stubborn, seemingly finding it difficult to swallow her pride in front of her husband and admit that she really enjoyed the little surprise.

Zhang Weihao understood his wife's personality and didn't say anything, just smiled warmly.

Then he said, "You go ahead and get busy. Xiao Fan and the others are waiting for their meal. I'm going out now."

Watching her husband's departing figure, Lin Shuhan's smile grew even brighter.

He turned his head and started stirring the food in the pot again, humming an unknown tune, and his movements became much lighter.

Before long, the food was ready.

The family sat around the large round table, their mouths watering as they looked at the white porridge and freshly stir-fried meat dishes in front of them.

The two little girls' eyes lit up, and they propped their chins up, staring intently at the slices of meat on the plate, unwilling to look away.

"Alright, stop waiting and eat!"

Lin Fan helped Lin Shuying out of the room, and after she sat down, he greeted everyone.

Everyone immediately started eating without even looking forward to it.

Normally, a simple afternoon meal of plain porridge and steamed buns would be considered quite good.

Now that Lin Fan has bought all kinds of meat, the family's meals have improved a lot, with plenty of oil and fat. This allows everyone who used to eat meat only a few times a year to eat to their heart's content every time they have a meal.

"Xiuying, is it delicious?"

The little girl, Xiuying, held a large white steamed bun in her left hand and chopsticks in her right, struggling to stand on a stool as she rummaged through the meat and vegetables in front of her.

After finally managing to pick up a piece of meat, he couldn't wait to put it in his mouth, hesitated for a couple of seconds, then took a bite of the white steamed bun, a satisfied expression on his face, and ate with great relish.

Seeing this, Lin Fan smiled and pushed the plate of meat towards her, asking a question.

Before the little girl could answer, Lin Shuhan glared at her and said irritably, "You brat, how have I been teaching you?"

"Don't rummage through the food on your plate. There are so many people eating, it's not just you. You have no manners at all!"

Xiuying pouted, ignoring her mother. Instead, she looked at Lin Fan and mumbled, "It's not as good as Uncle's braised pork!"

Upon hearing this, the whole family burst into laughter.

"Haha, okay, I'll make braised pork for Xiuying whenever I have time, so you can eat your fill!"

"My uncle is so nice!"

The elderly couple, Lin Desheng and Liu Chunlian, were quite frugal. After each eating a bowl of plain porridge and a steamed bun, they sat aside and watched Lin Fan and the others eat with smiles. They didn't eat many of the meat dishes on the table.

Lin Fan was used to eating a lot of meat and fish in his previous life, so he wasn't that craving meat. Perhaps he was more interested in the pickled vegetables on the table. He ate them with steamed buns, making a crunching sound as he chewed.

Lin Shuying ate rather politely and had a small appetite. She only ate half a steamed bun and slowly drank the porridge in front of her. When Lin Fan put some meat slices on her plate, she whispered, "Don't put any more on me, it's a bit oily, I can't eat it."

Hearing this, Lin Fan smiled slightly at her and said, "You have to eat even if you can't. You need to take good care of your health, eat more meat, and eat more nutritious food!"

Before long, the large bowl of porridge was completely devoured by everyone, and the meat dishes on the table were also cleaned up; they practically licked the plates clean.

Everyone ate their fill and slumped on their stools, not wanting to move.

Lin Fan picked up a roll of toilet paper from the table to wipe his mouth, then looked at Zhang Weihao and Lin Desheng and said with a smile, "Dad, brother-in-law!"

"Come out with me later."

The two men turned around and looked at Lin Fan, asking curiously, "What's wrong, Third Brother? Are you going to catch pheasants?"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "We won't go into the mountains today."

"Let's go to the river to collect snails."

Lin Desheng asked in surprise, "Snails? Why would you touch those things?"

There are many snails in the river, especially during this season when all things are reproducing and reviving. The snails are quite active and can be found everywhere.

However, this thing doesn't have much meat, and it's quite troublesome to clean. Cooking it requires a lot of oil, and boiling it in plain water makes it very fishy.

So apart from the occasional person going to the river to collect snails for some purpose, these country folk rarely paid attention to this thing.

Lin Fan smiled slightly and then gave a brief account of the transaction between him and Sun Hong yesterday.

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Lin Shuhan exclaimed in disbelief, "Xiao Fan, is it true? A pound of snails can sell for 1.7 yuan? You haven't been scammed, have you?"

Something that nobody would want even if picked up for free can sell for so much, even more expensive than wild mushrooms that are painstakingly picked from the mountains. It just doesn't seem real.

Moreover, mushrooms don't weigh much; a basket of them only weighs a few pounds. Snails, on the other hand, are different. Even if you clean them thoroughly and remove the sand, they still weigh a considerable amount, easily amounting to ten or eight pounds.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Even if we find some snails and he doesn't buy them, it's just a waste of half a day, nothing more."

It's normal for family members to have doubts.

The simple and honest people don't understand many things, which is why they've stayed in this small village and haven't been able to leave. If they could really understand these things, the Lin family wouldn't be so poor.

This kind of business relies on information asymmetry; things you consider commonplace and worthless might fetch a high price elsewhere.

What matters is not the item itself, but whether you can find this kind of opportunity in the vast world.

"That's true. Even if we get scammed, it's just a waste of time and energy. It's nothing. How about this, after we finish eating, I'll go try it with Lao San."
