The house was just finished inside, but there's still a hole in the roof. If he doesn't plug that hole, he won't be able to sleep in the house whenever there's a bit of wind or rain.

Enraged, Scarface threw the piece of wood he was holding onto the ground with a thud that startled everyone in the room.

The old lady was even frightened and hid. Lin Cai frowned as she looked at the piece of wood on the ground: "Didn't you eat? Or is your hand weak? Do you want me to have someone help you recover?"

It was a very gentle expression of concern, a very heartwarming gesture, but to Scarface, it made him want to run away.

He immediately shook his head: "No, no need. I just slip up all the time. That's right, I just slipped and didn't grab it."

As he spoke, he quickly bent down, picked up the piece of wood, and went out to repair the roof.

When Gu Zhan arrived, he saw that the Gu family's house was in a mess, with firecrackers and piles of wood in the yard.

He stood at the door, carrying things in both hands, unsure whether he should go in or not!

Last night, Ershi asked him for leave, saying that he had something to do at home and couldn't go today. He originally thought that Gujia would definitely not have time to make food today.

I went up the mountain and caught a few rabbits and pheasants, but I didn't expect to be stopped at the gate!

Scarface, sitting on the roof, saw the people at the door, so he simply reopened the hole and shouted into the house, "Meat, meat, meat! There's meat outside..."

He only saw the flesh in the other person's hands, but didn't see the person holding the flesh.

Ershi looked up at him and thought he was acting strangely. He must be obsessed with meat, seeing everything as meat.

Everyone was busy and didn't have time to deal with Scarface. Lin Cai led the old lady aside, then came over with the blankets and helped Huani make the bed.

Huani hesitated for a moment: "Cai'er, we don't have many blankets at home. You brought the blankets here, so what about tonight...?"

"Don't worry, I have a blanket. Who would let myself get cold?"

Huani was worried, really worried!

Chunhua isn't home again, so Lin Cai is alone every night. The weather has been getting colder lately, and it takes a long time for her to warm up when she sleeps alone.

Now that Lin Cai has brought the blanket here again, does she still have blankets in her room?

Seeing the worried look on Huani's face, Lin Cai made the bed and then took her directly to her room.

She took the blanket out and placed it on the bed: "See? Isn't this the blanket? Are you relieved now?"

“I told you I have a blanket, I won’t let myself get cold, you don’t need to worry about me at all.”

After the people inside finished tidying up the house, they went about their own business, and the scarred man on the roof realized that no one paid any attention to him.

He climbed down from the roof, moved all the wood blocking his way aside, and then came to the doorway, grinning at Gu Zhan.

Scarface had never met Gu Zhan before and didn't know who he was. He approached him with a grin and said, "Brother, are you here to deliver meat to the Gu family?"

"Did that brat Lin Laosan send you to deliver this?"

"I knew it! Only that kid still has a shred of humanity left, knowing to send some meat over here. If it were the other two, they probably wouldn't even have seen a bone fragment!"

They promised to dote on their younger sister, but it's been almost half a month and those two are still nowhere to be found!

Now he can't go anywhere, and not only can he not go anywhere, he can't even eat meat. He has lost dozens of pounds!

Scarface didn't care when he finished asking his question and received no answer, because his attention was completely focused on the rabbit and the pheasant.

Just as he was about to reach for the meat, Lin Cai's voice came from behind: "That hole in the roof still hasn't been patched up. It's almost dark. Are you planning to let Leng Feng sleep with you tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Scarface immediately withdrew his hand and turned around to see Lin Cai walking out from inside.

"I'll fix it, I'll fix it right away. I just saw we had guests and was thinking of helping you entertain them. Why are you still like this..."

He didn't finish his sentence because the girl's eyes looked murderous. Scarface shrank back, looked back every three steps, and climbed back onto the roof.

Ershi came out to help and gave him two bundles of straw, so that Scarface could use the straw to patch up the hole in the roof.

Perhaps because there was meat tonight, Scarface worked very efficiently, and he patched up the hole in no time.

Gu Zhan gave all the pheasants and rabbits in his hands to Lin Cai, and frowned as he looked at the firewood and wood in the yard.

"You're just going to pile everything up in the yard?"

Holding the pheasant and rabbit, Lin Cai turned to look at him: "Do you have any good places to go?"

Gu Zhan pointed to the west corner, where there was an open space. He said that a simple thatched shed could be built there to store firewood.

Lin Cai shook her head: "That place won't work."

She also needed to do other things in that place; the firewood couldn't be piled up there.

In fact, Lin Cai had already planned it out: the wood in the yard could be placed directly behind the east wall.

There was a small patch of land there with a roof, where the firewood piled up wouldn't get wet in the rain.

With a place to store firewood, Gu Dachui and the others quickly moved everything from the yard there. After they finished moving everything, Lin Cai asked them to process the wild rabbits and pheasants.

Scarface took on the task; he was practically craving it and naturally wanted to get it done as quickly as possible.

Lin Cai told him to keep the contents of the rabbit and pheasant's bellies. Scarface, who was about to throw them away, looked at the chicken innards in his hand.

"Hey Lin, aren't we having meat tonight? Why are we leaving all this stuff here?"

Chicken offal and pig offal are cheap goods, so nobody wants them. Except for the very poor who buy them as a treat, nobody buys them.

Pig offal is alright, since there's so much of it, but what's the point of taking such a small amount of chicken offal?

"Just keep it as I told you to. Why are you asking so many questions? If you don't like it, you can simply not eat what I make."

Scarface fell silent upon hearing this, but he still kept everything Lin Cai had asked him to leave behind.

Seeing that they were dealing with the situation, Lin Cai asked Huani to cook some coarse grain rice, and then went to the Lin family alone.

Lin Bao is at home right now. His parents have been sorting through beans for the past few days because not all the beans they harvested were good.

There were some rotten beans and some small stones mixed in with the beans. At first, they said to just leave it as it is, since all the clean ones are the same.

But Lin Cai told them that the rotten beans and small stones would affect the taste of the tofu.
