CHAPTER 52: 52 LIANGFEN’S DEBUT

In Mrs. Jiang’s eyes, although those injuries had started to heal, the crisscrossing scars still showed how severe the child’s injuries were.

"Old San, it’s true that this person with the surname Li has gone too far. In my opinion, we should go over and get revenge for Erhu, let them know that our Old Lin Family is not to be trifled with!" Lin Ershui was filled with anger, clearly upset.

Lin Shui didn’t say words of agreement, but he didn’t oppose it either.

Lin Sanshui still had some sense, and with a bitter smile, said, "No need to fight back. Anyway, I’ve already beaten up Master Li once. The town is different from our village. If we really fight in town, the county magistrate is not just for show!"

Lin Shui actually breathed a sigh of relief; he was really afraid the third brother might, on impulse, decide to fight back and then end up causing trouble.

It wasn’t until the sky darkened that Lin Sanshui spoke again, "Big brother, second brother, why not stay for dinner tonight?"

"No, no, your sister-in-law has probably already prepared the meal at home, so we better go home to eat." Lin Shui quickly refused, and Lin Ershui nodded along.

We just ate at the third brother’s yesterday, we can’t stay again today.

With so many people, no matter how wealthy the household, it wouldn’t be enough to eat!

Lin Sanshui was just being polite, and after hearing this, he didn’t insist. Instead, he called to Mrs. Jiang, "Mother of Dahu, bring a bowl to pack some honey for the elder brothers to take back. The rest we’ll exchange for money in town tomorrow and share with the elder brothers."

Although they found the beehive, neither he nor Dahu could have harvested it alone.

Besides, they were brothers, and life was hard. Lin Sanshui would not shortchange his brothers.

"Alright, Old San, your brothers won’t be polite with you. After dinner, I’ll come over with the second brother, and tonight we’ll extract all the honey."

Lin Sanshui nodded in agreement.

Getting honey seems simple, but it’s not easy at all.

Especially since they didn’t have specialized tools for honey extraction.

So, they could only use a spoon to scrape the honey out and let it flow out, then filter it thoroughly to clean it.

In the kitchen, Gu Nian prepared the garlic sauce and asked Dahu to cut the cold noodles into strips and chunks, then mix them with the sauce.

In the main room, the family gathered around the table, each with a bowl, eating happily.

Lin Sanshui took a bite of the green onion and praised, "Nian Nian, where did you learn this skill? I’ve never seen peas eaten like this before!"

Gu Nian paused in her eating, swallowed all the food in her mouth, and then said, "I learned it when I was back home."

Under the table, Mrs. Jiang pinched Lin Sanshui, and he immediately stopped asking.

The child’s mother had long told him not to mention Gu Nian’s biological family. The child was still young; if no one kept bringing it up in front of her, after some time she would forget.

Everyone has their selfish desires, and Mrs. Jiang raised Gu Nian as her own daughter. Naturally, she hoped Gu Nian would see her as her mother, rather than constantly remembering she was just an adopted daughter.

Little Hu, somewhat clueless, chimed in, "This cold noodle is so delicious, can we have it again tomorrow?"

"I also want to have it again," Sanhu said, looking at Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang replied with a smile, "It’s no use looking at me, I can’t make it, you’d have to ask your sister."

Before Sanhu could ask, Dahu spoke up, somewhat embarrassed, "Actually, I have an idea, though I’m not sure if it will work?"

"We’re all family here, no outsiders, so just speak up. A grown man shouldn’t be so shy, that’s just embarrassing!" Lin Sanshui said.
