Chapter 38 Did I say the wrong thing again?

Zhu Donghua carried Li Yi on his shoulders, kept apologizing, and threw him out the door.

At the end, he leaned against the door and continued to apologize: "Li Yi, don't blame me. I can live a good life by following my mother. But by following you, I really can't see the future. I just, just want to live a good life."

The whole family was silent, either closing their eyes or almost having their eyeballs popped.

Zhu, who was leaning against the door, didn't sit back on the steps until Li Yi's voice disappeared.

After the meal was finished in eerie silence, Lin Tao asked Zhu and Li Er to send them back.

When the door was opened, Li Yi was lying in front of the door.

"If he comes in, I will throw him out!"

After the two elders left, Mrs. Xu closed the door.

Li Si chased Lin Tao into the main room.

"Is something wrong?"

"Mom, do you really plan to leave eldest brother alone?"

"Why should I care about him?" Lin Tao asked.

"No matter what, eldest brother is also your son!"

"That's right! People are selfish. What I want to have is a son who I raised carefully when he was young. When he grows up, he will be grateful for taking care of me in my old age. Instead of a big insect that only clings to me and keeps sucking blood.

"

Li Si suddenly became silent. After nodding his head to express his understanding, he turned around and left.

Returning to the terraced house in the east house, Li Si was leaning on the corner of the kang.

For the first time in my life, I thought about my own life.

What came to mind was the last words the old lady just said.

"Fourth, what happened?" Li San asked.

"Third brother, was I like my eldest brother before, unable to do anything at home except eating and sleeping?"

"Um."

The corners of Li Si's mouth twitched.

"Brother, are you my real brother? Can't you see that I'm already very sad? Can't you say something to comfort me?"

"Oh, of course I am your brother. I saw it when my mother gave birth to you. I also saw that you were sad, but I can't tell lies to comfort you. Because you used to do nothing at home except eating and sleeping.

Even if you don’t do it, it’s still a good thing. Mom also paid off a lot of gambling debts for you.”

Li Si rubbed his face crazily and left the house.

If he continues to talk to Li San, he will probably be pissed to death.

Li San also raised his eyebrows and said to himself: "Am I telling the truth again?"

***

At this time, on the mountainside, in a dilapidated courtyard, two old men were sitting face to face.

"Old man, why do you think Lin is different from before?"

"I took a close look at her appearance today, and she hasn't changed."

"What do I think, she is saving the boss?"

"Yes! Without some ruthless measures, I really can't get rid of the boss's lazy temperament."

***

In the Li family courtyard.

Mrs. Zhu was boiling lard in the kitchen shed.

The aroma of oil permeated the entire yard.

The two little ones were lying on the bamboo poles of the stove shed, huffing and puffing.

That cute little appearance made Lin Tao smile.

"Want to eat?" Lin Tao asked.

The two little ones shook their heads together.

He is obviously so greedy that he still refuses to admit it.

He took two pieces of grease and stuffed them into his two small mouths.

"Delicious."

Even though Xiao Li Qian is seven years old, he is already a half-grown baby here.

But in these years, the original owner kept him at home and rarely communicated with others.

As a result, the mind of a seven-year-old child is only about the same as that of a four- or five-year-old child.

"Hmm." Xiao Linglan was the same as before, no matter what her brother said, she would always hum.

Mrs. Xu, who was washing the fish scales, asked: "Mom? What are these fish scales that no one wants for use?"

She was even more curious when her man said that the old lady had paid for it.

"Is there anything in this world that no one wants? When these things appear, they have a meaning for their existence. You think they are useless just because you know too little!"

Xu smiled awkwardly: "You'd better tell me directly what it can do."

Her ears understood what the old lady said, but her brain did not.

The oil is boiled and the fish scales are washed out.

Lin Tao spread the fish scales in a dustpan and let them dry in the shade.

The night wind blew by, and Lin Tao, wearing only a single suit, sneezed.

Before I knew it, it got cold.

After finishing everything, he said: "Go to bed early. We have to go to town to do business tomorrow!"

Countless wailings sounded in the yard.

Mrs. Xu looked at her man and smiled, then led the baby back to the house.

Li Si sat in a daze on the steps. After wailing, he grabbed his hair and returned to the house.

Lin Tao patted the eldest daughter-in-law on the shoulder: "Don't worry about the boss's affairs. Just do your work at home."

Zhu nodded.

After returning to the main room, Lin Tao also fell asleep early.

He went to bed at Hai hour and got up at four o'clock at Zi hour.

I wake up at one o'clock in the morning and never get enough sleep.

After leaving the house, Lin Tao washed up and got busy.

Maybe the commotion got louder, the door to the west room opened, and Mrs. Xu pulled out her clothes.

"Why are you getting up at this point today?"

"Don't we have to set up a stall in the town? We have to walk for half a day on the road. From this point on, we can reach Fangshi in Chenshi."

Mrs. Xu woke up from her nap and went to the east room to wake Mrs. Zhu up. She ran to the kitchen shed and took the spoon from her hand.

"Mom, tell me and I will do it."

When the oil temperature was estimated to be 50% hot, Lin Tao poured the fish scales into the oil pan.

The fish scales exploded in the oil pan, curled and turned yellow.

After two minutes of frying, Mrs. Xu was asked to take out the fish scales.

Heat the oil until it is 70% hot, then fry the fish scales again until the fish scales are golden in color, then fish them into a dustpan.

Take it to a ventilated place and shake it constantly to ventilate and cool down.

Originally, it was best to add cornstarch to fried fish scales.

There was nothing she could do. The corn and potatoes were both exotic species. She searched all over the market but couldn't find them.

I can only try this method reluctantly.

Fortunately, after the fish scales are completely cooled, they still taste crispy.

"Mom, can I have a piece?" asked Mrs. Xu.

Lin Tao grabbed a handful and fed it into Xu's mouth.

"Hmm! What is this? It's delicious!"

"It's called Golden Armor in Mom's hometown." Lin Tao smiled and took the dustpan and put it on it.

On Zhu's side, the leaves have also been washed.

After waking up the second and fourth children, Lin Tao led Niu Zaizi to open the door, and was startled by Li Yi lying on the ground.

Li Yi, who woke up from his dream, sat up suddenly.

"Mother, mother..." Li looked haggard, his voice was hoarse, and his expression was depressed.

Lin Tao pretended not to hear, kicked Li Yi's legs away, took the cow out and put it on the frame.

The second and fourth children got into the car holding their things.

Lin Tao didn't even look back, and drove the ox cart away.

Listening to Li Yi's call behind her, Lin Tao twitched her lips.

She is not their biological mother, so she can still be affected by his crying voice? Impossible!

The oxcart rolled for four hours before Lin Tao finally entered Qingyuan Town.

If she hadn't used the money left behind to rent a shop, she would have really wanted to exchange the cows for horses.

After entering the market, Lin Tao chose to set up a stall next to Sister Yu.

As soon as I met Sister Yu, I greeted her warmly.

The two sons were left to run the stall, while Lin Tao watched and chatted with Sister Yu.

"Sister, you have now become the heroine that everyone in our city wants to see!"

Lin Tao was confused when she said this.

Sister Yu talked about the big things that happened yesterday.
