Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister
Chapter 8 Oh my god, it smells so good!
When she arrived at her doorstep, Lin Shuyun untangled the vines that were wrapped around the doorknob.
The lock on the front door was broken, so she tied it up with vines when she left. It looked like no one had been there all morning.
Then he picked up the basket and led Lin Hongwen into the courtyard.
Seeing this, Lin Hongwen asked, "Sister, where did you go just now?"
Lin Shuyun carried the basket into the kitchen, "I'm going up the mountain to get some food."
Lin Hongwen followed her in, and his eyes welled up with tears as he looked at Lin Shuyun bending over and fiddling with the leaves in her basket.
"The Jiang family has gone too far. You've only been married into the family for less than three days, and they... they won't even feed you?"
It's only been two days, and his sister has already been kicked out to live in such a dilapidated courtyard, forced to eat scavenging leaves. It's so pitiful.
"Go wash your face in the yard," Lin Shuyun said, pointing to a basin of water drying in the yard.
In the countryside, when it's hot, people usually don't boil water; they just take the water out to the yard to dry in the sun before washing their face and feet.
Lin Hongwen hurriedly went over to wash his face and came back, only to see his sister hand him a bowl of wild plums.
"Have some of this first, and also bring some to your brother-in-law. He's in the room next door. I'll cook."
Lin Hongwen took the wild plums and his eyes reddened again. Seeing that his sister was also eating wild plums, he sniffed and walked towards the earthen house next door.
"Brother-in-law?"
Lin Hongwen called out from outside the door, but there was no response. He pushed open the door and saw a person lying motionless on the kang (a heated brick bed).
He's not dead, is he?
Remembering that his sister was married into the family to bring good luck, what if his brother-in-law didn't make it...
The thought of this possibility made Lin Hongwen's legs go weak. He put the wild plums on the table, slowly walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and tremblingly reached out to check her breath.
Jiang Changtian, who was on the kang (a heated brick bed), opened his eyes.
Lin Hongwen was so frightened that he fell to the ground on his bottom.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you're not dead?!"
Jiang Changtian turned his head and saw that the boy on the ground looked a bit like Lin Shuyun and called him brother-in-law, so he knew that this was his brother-in-law whom he had never met before.
Lin Hongwen was still in shock. He looked at Jiang Changtian's face and saw that although there was a scar, it wasn't as scary as the rumors had said.
Blushing, he got up from the ground and realized how hurtful his words had been.
She stammered, "Sister, brother-in-law, my sister asked me to bring you some plums. I... I'll help you up."
Although Jiang Changtian was able to sit up on his own, seeing how nervous he was, he still nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
"No trouble at all." Lin Hongwen hurriedly helped Jiang Changtian up, with two pillows behind him, and then brought over the bowl of wild plums.
"Brother-in-law, you eat. I'm going to check on my sister." With that, she ran out.
Jiang Changtian held his bowl, craning his neck to look out the window, listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen next door.
When Lin Hongwen entered the kitchen, he saw his sister chopping something with a knife, while a little black cat meowed at her from the side.
Lin Hongwen's eyes lit up. "Sis, where did this cat come from?"
"I found it on the mountain." Lin Shuyun swiftly chopped up the rabbit that was left over from yesterday.
She had forgotten to take the coal briquette out of her pocket; she almost crushed it just now. When she finally took it out, it kept barking at her, probably because it was hungry.
This rabbit has been salted. Too much salt doesn't seem good for cats. She'll feed it the other two later.
"I've heard that keeping a black cat is unlucky," Lin Hongwen said, already reaching out to touch the coal ball.
The coal ball darted away, turned its head to glance at Lin Hongwen, and meowed (You're the unlucky one.)
He continued meowing at Lin Shuyun: "Meow meow meow, you damn woman, you brought me home and then forgot about me. Who wants to go home with you? I want to go back to the mountains..."
"Why be so particular? Aren't black and white cats all the same?"
Lin Shuyun glanced down at the coal ball as she spoke, "Don't call me anymore, I'll feed you in a bit."
Coal ball: ? It won't eat anything that belongs to humans.
"Sis, I think I should go home. I snuck out today anyway... Gurgle, gurgle." Lin Hongwen's stomach growled with hunger.
Lin Shuyun ignored him and said, "Come and start the fire."
"Oh." Lin Hongwen sat down under the stove with his head drooping and added firewood.
He'll eat just a little less later; his sister's life is already so hard...
A sting.
The aroma of scallions and Sichuan peppercorns, along with the fragrance of meat, filled the air.
Lin Hongwen sniffed twice; the aroma was so enticing he almost couldn't sit still. He stood up abruptly and peered into the pot, his eyes wide with surprise.
"Sis, where did you get the meat?"
"The rabbit was hunted on the mountain. Stop talking nonsense and make the fire bigger." Lin Shuyun was preparing to make braised rabbit.
Although she wanted to eat spicy food, Jiang Changtian's injuries hadn't healed yet, so he couldn't eat spicy food.
"Okay, okay." Lin Hongwen obediently sat down under the stove to add firewood, swallowing hard.
My mind is filled with thoughts of how wonderful it smells.
"time to eat!"
Lin Hongwen swallowed hard, and then he heard his sister's voice.
Lin Shuyun took out bowls and chopsticks and ladled three bowls of rabbit meat from the pot.
We've run out of mixed rice, so we only have meat and no staple food, so we'll have to make do with this meal.
"Let's eat inside, there's no table in the kitchen." Lin Shuyun handed Lin Hongwen a bowl and took two bowls to Jiang Changtian's room.
Lin Hongwen swallowed hard and followed behind, with Coal Ball grumbling at the very back.
Inside the room, Jiang Changtian was still holding the bowl of wild plums, seemingly lost in thought, when he saw Lin Shuyun come in and his eyes focused.
"Aren't wild plums tasty? Why don't you guys eat them?"
Seeing that the wild plums were still in a bowl, Lin Shuyun walked over and took them from Jiang Changtian's hands, replacing them with rabbit meat, and also gave him a pair of chopsticks.
"Eat this."
A delicious aroma wafted into his nose. Jiang Changtian looked at the rabbit meat in his hand, about to speak, when he saw Lin Shuyun had already walked to the table and sat down to eat.
Lin Hongwen glanced at Jiang Changtian furtively, then sat down awkwardly next to Lin Shuyun and spoke in a low voice.
"Sis, I can't eat this much, let me share it with you."
His sister is really something, serving him such a big bowl of meat that even his brother-in-law is looking over.
"A grown man like you can't even finish this much? Stop talking nonsense and eat up. There's more in the pot. If you don't finish it, I'll rip your head off and dump it in."
Lin Shuyun shot Lin Hongwen a sharp glare, and Lin Hongwen was instantly speechless.
Why is his sister suddenly so fierce?
But what if I feel like crying even more? His sister is pretending to be so fierce just to get him to eat more meat...
Lin Shuyun was speechless when she saw his teary eyes. Was this kid prone to crying? Why did he cry so easily?
Just as she was about to eat, she saw Coal Ball hook its claws onto her trouser leg.
Coal Ball: Meow meow meow (Woman Meow Grandpa is telling you seriously, I'm leaving. Don't be sad, we'll meet again if fate allows...)
"Stop yelling, here, have some too." Lin Shuyun thought Coal Ball was starving, so she picked it up and put it on the table, then placed a small piece of boneless meat in front of it.
Is it okay for cats to eat cooked food?
Coal Ball: Meow meow meow, who wants to eat human charity? I'd rather starve to death...
Seeing that it was still barking, Lin Shuyun pressed its head down and shoved the meat directly into her mouth.
Coal ball: Meow?
Holy moly, it smells delicious!
