Chapter 106 I was a pig in my past life
And aren't people who practice martial arts usually quite good at hearing?
You can hear even the slightest sound, but you still can't hear those two words she just said?
"Young Master Gu, don't you know the saying, 'A good word is never repeated twice'?"
"I've already said what I wanted to say. Whether you heard it or not is your business. What does it have to do with me?"
Lin Cai walked around the bucket in front of her and left directly; this time, the bucket was no longer in her way.
Gu Zhan watched her departing figure, a smile appearing on his face. Then, he picked up the bucket and walked towards his own courtyard.
After Gu Xuewen left, the quality of food at the Gu family's home dropped sharply. During the few days Gu Xuewen was there, the dishes still had some oil.
The person had just left, and the dish was completely devoid of oil; it was all boiled in water.
Zhao Laidi rummaged through the wild vegetables on the table, tasted them, and then said with a bitter face, "Sister-in-law, are we really so poor that we can't even afford to eat?"
"The food we eat every day has no oil or fat at all. How long can we survive if we keep eating like this?"
"Oil, oil, oil! Do you think oil doesn't cost money? How much money have you given me already? I'm already grateful to have anything to eat. You want more oil? Do you want me to steal it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Laidi opened her mouth to retort, but before she could speak, she heard her youngest son say something.
"It was there when my eldest cousin was home, but it wasn't there after he left. Is it really okay for my aunt to treat people this way?"
After the youngest son finished speaking, the eldest son next to him nodded in agreement, which made Li Guixiang so angry that she reached out to pick up the dishes.
"You all dislike it, right? Then none of you should eat it. It's not oily at all, so none of you should eat it."
Li Guixiang took the dishes away, leaving only a few cornbread buns and a thin porridge in front of them that was as clear as water.
Gu Yinniu stirred the mixture with his chopsticks: "Oh dear, the rich eat meat, the poor drink porridge, and people like us only deserve to drink water!"
He looked up at his wife and son: "You're lucky to have anything to eat. What are you three complaining about?"
After finishing his sentence, Gu Yinniu quickly ate three cornbread buns and drank a bowl of porridge in front of him. Then, he threw down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, put his hands in his pockets, and left.
It's good enough to fill your stomach, what are you complaining about!
Seeing her husband's decisiveness, Zhao Laidi didn't care whether the food was good or bad. She ate two cornbreads, finished the porridge in her bowl, threw down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and went back to her room.
When Li Guixiang came out of the kitchen, she saw that no one was at the table and assumed that they had stopped eating. But when she went over, she found that every bowl was empty, and even the cornbread was gone.
The cornbread was meant for everyone, including her own portion, but now there wasn't a single one left. Li Guixiang was so angry that she started cursing.
"Are you all reincarnated starving ghosts? You've eaten all the food your family has. Aren't you afraid of eating so much that you'll die?"
The couple from the second wife's family heard everything, but neither of them went out. They had just finished eating and wanted to lie down for a while, but they didn't have the time to go out and argue.
Hearing the sounds outside, Zhao Laidi, who was lying down, suddenly sat up, startling Gu Yinniu.
"What are you doing, you old hag? You're making such a fuss, trying to scare someone to death!"
"You damn thing, I scared you to death! All you do is sleep all day, were you a pig in your past life?"
She had just thought of the old lady. Since Li Guixiang got the person out, there had been no further movement, and the village hadn't made a fuss.
Zhao Laidi knew that Li Guixiang would definitely take the old lady outside, but Gujia Village was only so big. If someone appeared in the village looking the same, it was impossible for no one to notice.
Once discovered, the village would definitely be in an uproar, but so much time has passed and there's still no sound.
Zhao Laidi turned to Gu Yinniu, wanting to ask, "Husband, if something happened in the village, do you think it would still be so peaceful?"
She asked the question, but received no answer. Looking down, she was so angry that she raised her hand.
She was worried about his mother's safety, but the bastard had actually fallen asleep. How could he fall asleep so quickly? Was he a pig in his past life?
The grapes in the jar had fermented successfully. Since there were no filtering tools, Lin Cai simply found two pieces of cloth and removed some of the fibers from the middle.
When Lin's mother came to see her daughter, she happened to see her daughter drawing silk threads, and it was even made of silk.
She quickly went over and snatched the silk, holding it in her arms: "Oh dear, you spendthrift girl, what are you doing? How could you ruin such a perfectly good piece of cloth like this?"
Lin's mother was heartbroken to see the silk with the threads pulled out, and kept saying that Lin Cai was really too wasteful.
You have to understand that people in the countryside wear coarse linen or hemp, and they simply can't bear to buy such fine silk.
Some families with better financial means would buy these items as dowry or betrothal gifts when their children got married, but even then, they would keep them carefully and would never waste them like this.
Seeing how much her mother treasured it, Lin Cai explained, "I didn't mean to. I have a use for it, and it's just a piece of silk. If I run out, I can buy more."
"What are you buying? Do you have that much silver? It's just a piece of silk. Do you know that the silver for this one piece is enough to cover the expenses of a family for several months?"
"Mother, I know, but I have no choice. I need to use it to process grapes, and there's nothing else suitable!"
"What grapes are so precious that they need to be made of silk? Do you know that if you pull out the silk threads, you won't be able to make clothes!"
Lin Cai said she knew, but after she finished speaking, she was scolded again. She felt helpless when she heard what her mother said!
She really had no idea what to do. She didn't have any gauze, and she couldn't pull the threads off the burlap or rags. She really didn't know what to do except for silk!
Lin's mother was heartbroken and refused to give the silk to Lin Cai. Lin Cai had no choice but to bring out another piece of silk from inside the house to exchange for it.
But who knew that Lin's mother would not play by the rules at all? She didn't want an exchange; she wanted to take everything and not give Lin Cai a single one.
The mother and daughter stood facing each other, one on the east side of the yard and the other on the west corner, neither willing to give in.
"Mom, can you give me the piece you just had? You can keep the other one for yourself, just give me the other one."
"Impossible, don't even think about it. I spoil you too much at home, making you so wasteful. You've ruined such good things, how can I give them to you..."
"Mother, I've told you so many times, I didn't waste anything, I really did it because it was useful, how could you..."
