66: Chapter 65: The Dog Farts (Second Update)

“Great!

Sis!” Lin Dong’s eyes shone like light bulbs, “I’ve only had canned braised pork, but I’ve never had the actual dish.

The mere thought makes my mouth water!”

But how do you know how to make it?”

In his memory, their family indeed had eaten meat, but never dishes like braised pork.

Lin Dong’s question caught Lin Xia off guard, but she had trained herself to be quick-witted, “I learned it from overhearing others on the train!

They said it’s quite easy to make!”

Lin Dong believed her, his lips twitching with excitement, “Sis, even if we don’t make braised pork, just boiling the meat would be fine too!”

In this day and age, any family that can eat meat twice a month is living the good life!

Some classmates in his school, after having meat at home, would deliberately not wipe the grease off their lips, just to show off that they had eaten meat!

“Sure, we can just boil it and then dip it in soy sauce with some minced garlic!” Lin Xia said with a smile—the meat smells heavenly at this time, and it’s delicious no matter how you eat it.

Lin Dong, spurred on by Lin Xia’s words, drooled uncontrollably, “Sis, stop talking about it!

I’m starving here!”

“Look at you, getting worked up over such small things!” Lin Qiu also couldn’t help but laugh, sweeping away her prior gloom and depression.

After eating, Lin Xia didn’t even lie down for long; she soon got up and went out to look for a house.

She planned to sell their goods during the appropriate time, so not a moment would be wasted.

She didn’t find anything in the late afternoon; it’s hard to find a place these days.

But Lin Xia was not disheartened; once she set her mind on something, she would go all out to make it happen.

She would continue her search the next day, but with a wider scope.

Lin Xia went to the hardwood flooring factory in the evening, and since it was her first time, sales were just average—many there hadn’t brought money.

Lin Xia made arrangements with them to come back the following day at noon, after they got off work.

When Lin Xia reached home, she saw her eldest brother’s bicycle in the yard.

She parked her bike with joy and entered the house.

Xu Haihua was rummaging through the kitchen dish rack and hummed when she saw Lin Xia.

Lin Xia ignored her and headed straight for the Western House.

Lin Chun was sitting with Lin Qiu and Lin Dong on the edge of the kang, cracking seeds and chatting; it looked like they hadn’t eaten yet.

Lin Xia put down her bag, “Big brother’s here!

Have you guys eaten yet?”

Lin Chun looked at Lin Xia, “Not yet!

We were waiting for you.”

“Wait for me?

You should eat when it’s time to eat!” Lin Xia sat down next to Lin Chun.

Lin Qiu quickly got Lin Dong to help her serve the rice, bowls, chopsticks, and pickles.

Lin Xia noticed her big brother’s complexion seemed off and asked cautiously, “Big brother, nothing’s wrong, right?”

Lin Chun turned to look at Lin Xia, “What could possibly be wrong?

Xiaoxia, why did you go to the provincial city again?

You didn’t even mention it to me beforehand!”

He had visited in the morning to discuss Lin Qiang’s issue and had lunch together, yet his younger sister hadn’t hinted at all about going to the provincial city.

Today, he thought to come and check on them, only to find his younger sister had already returned from the provincial city!

Lin Xia put on a cheery smile and chuckled sheepishly, “It was a last-minute decision; I figured the earlier I went, the earlier I’d get back!

Big brother, I definitely didn’t mean to keep it from you!”

Honestly, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision for her.

Seeing that the hazelnuts in Jade’s room had all been dried, and feeling mostly rested herself, she thought it better to make the trip.

Lin Chun gave a helpless smile, “You’re just so impulsive every day, doing whatever you want, and you always think big.

Next time something comes up, tell your big brother, got it?

Right now, I won’t meddle in your affairs, but at least let me know what you’re up to.

It’ll save me the worry…”

He wasn’t as old-fashioned as before.

His dear sister was working so hard for what?

It was all for their little family, for their sake.

“I got it, Big Brother!” Lin Xia’s heart warmed; her big brother had changed so much lately, and she really liked it.

At that moment, the dishes were served.

Lin Xia pulled Lin Chun to the table to eat, “Let’s talk while we eat!” She looked at the shredded potatoes on the table and then had Lin Dong and the others go get the canned food, “Don’t save it anymore!

Let’s eat it up!

I’ll buy more for you guys later!”

Lin Dong happily complied and went to the kitchen to fetch the canned food.

He was doing it on purpose, to let that mother and daughter in the other room see how well they were eating!

He wanted to make them envious to death!

Xu Haihua happened to come out to pick up her bowl and saw exactly what Lin Dong was doing.

She sneered with disdain, thinking to herself, What’s there to show off about?

It’s just canned food.

Isn’t it something everyone has eaten before?

After returning to her room, she became somewhat distracted.

Aunt Xu wiped the table and asked her, “Haihua, what’s wrong?”

Xu Haihua muttered softly, “Mom!

Where do you think they get their money from?

They eat so well every day…

they couldn’t have stolen it, could they?”

She wasn’t being overly suspicious; even she, who earned a salary, didn’t dare to splurge on food like that.

And here they were, not working, yet eating pancakes and meat dumplings every day.

Aunt Xu’s face darkened, “Haihua, you need to change your temperament.

Why do you always have to brood over them!

What they eat has nothing to do with us!

Anyway, they will be moving out soon. freēwēbnovel.com

Just bear with it…”

“Oh, Mom!

I know!

I was just having a private word with you…

Our money hasn’t gone missing, right?” Xu Haihua leaned in closer to Aunt Xu and asked.

Aunt Xu subconsciously touched the waistband of her trousers, “It’s here…”

In Western House, after dinner, Lin Dong helped Xiaoqiu with the dishes in the kitchen, and it was then that Lin Chun spoke to Lin Xia, “While you weren’t here before, Xiaoqiu has learned a lot from me!

Xiaoxia!

We are upright and have nothing to fear from our shadows, don’t mind what others say!”

Lin Chun was furious about what Xu Haihua had said; how could a girl think so poorly of others?

If that was the case, he had seen her talking to a young man at Mrs.

Zhao’s doorstep the other day, but he didn’t think ill of her.

Lin Xia laughed, “I know, Big Brother!

I’ll just treat it like a dog farting!”

She never took Xu Haihua seriously to begin with, and now that things had turned out this way, she didn’t care at all!

To live with integrity was all that mattered to her, as long as she could answer to her own conscience!

Lin Chun was relieved; he was worried that his big sister might become upset and bothered by what others said.

After all, as a young woman, one’s reputation mattered.

“Xiaoxia, since you’re not going to stay here, have you thought about where to look for a place?

You didn’t find anything suitable before, right?”

If this were before, Lin Chun might have just advised his big sister to move back home.

But with Lin Qiang’s robbery incident, he could never let his brother and sisters return to that home.

If anything happened, he would never forgive his own incompetence and folly.

“I looked around!

Didn’t find anything suitable due to the short time!” Lin Xia stroked her fingers and looked up at Lin Chun with determination in her eyes, “Big Brother, this time I plan to look around more.

Hopefully, I can rent a separate courtyard, which will also save the trouble of sharing and causing issues!”

“Right!

It would be great if you could find a place like that!” Lin Chun consoled Lin Xia, “But Xiaoxia, don’t be too anxious or frustrated if you can’t find it right away;

in the worst-case scenario, just forget about those two months’ rent, we can make do here for another half a month.

Surely we can find something suitable in half a month…”
