Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Chapter 6 I never knew you had this ability before

Seeing Jia Zhang leave in disappointment, Lin Donglai felt so happy!

But he was a little confused. According to the original drama, the one who came to ask for food should not be Jia Zhang, but her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu.

What changed Jia Zhangshi? Why did she think that she would be able to get meat as long as she went to the house to ask for it?

It really proves the saying that blind confidence is equal to stupidity!

The third aunt was scolded by Jia Zhang. She didn't react at first. When she finally reacted, she was so angry that her face turned red and she spat twice at Jia Zhang's back.

He cursed fiercely, "She deserves it! This greedy woman from the Jia family has such a bad mouth, she deserves not to be able to eat meat!"

"It's all your fault, Old Yan. Why did you bring me out here to watch the fun? I got scolded for no reason. It's bad luck!"

Yan Bugui saw that he was getting angry, so he didn't say much. After all, it was he who dragged his wife out to watch the Lin family make a fool of themselves.

Unexpectedly, instead of seeing the joke, he and his wife became the laughing stock. He smiled apologetically and pulled his wife back into the house.

The yard returned to silence. Lin Donglai looked at her sister, who happened to look up and meet her gaze. They both smiled at the same time.

"Brother, Aunt Zhang scared me just now. I was really afraid that she would grab the rabbit head. Fortunately, you acted quickly. But I am a little worried that she will not be able to eat the meat, and she may retaliate against us in the future."

As Lin Dongyi spoke, she pursed her lips, her face full of regret and worry.

Looking at his sister's expression, Lin Donglai felt distressed. A child of this age should be acting coquettishly and seeking pampering in front of her parents.

Such an expression should not be shown on her face. She blamed herself for not being strong enough to resist such malicious intent. But she also felt that the way she handled it just now was right. She said to her sister:

"Dong Yi, brother did that on purpose. It was Aunt Zhang who was rude first. We can't give food from our house to people like that."

"I will take good care of you. Our lives will definitely get better and better in the future. Don't worry about your children."

My sister blinked her big eyes and nodded, not quite understanding, "I understand, brother. I'll collect the dishes first."

Lin Donglai had been busy for most of the day and should have been exhausted, but now he was full of energy and felt light all over.

I didn't want to let my sister do the cleaning, but I thought it would be good to let her exercise her hands-on skills. After all, children from poor families have to grow up early.

He spread out the bundled firewood in the kitchen to dry, so that the firewood he had worked so hard to chop could no longer be easily "taken" by the Jia family.

Judging from the weather, it will take at least several days to dry it before it is suitable for burning.

Clean the house again, check the doors and windows and so on, and soon all the work will be done.

It was also quiet outside the house. Although it was not late at night, people of this age had few entertainment options and the weather was cold.

Everyone went to bed early, firstly to keep warm, and secondly to reduce activity and save some food.

If there is anything that is difficult to adapt to after traveling to this era, it is probably that life is extremely boring. For those who are used to touching their mobile phones before going to bed, it is really hard to endure.

Lin Donglai is still in the adaptation period. He doesn’t feel anything when he is busy during the day, but he can’t adapt when he is idle at night.

But it’s different with my younger sister. After washing up, the little girl obediently went into her little bed and is now soundly asleep.

Lin Donglai lay on the bed, thinking about the next arrangements.

The first thing to do is to go into the mountain again and pretend to take out the firewood hidden in the space yesterday and carry it back home. If you are lucky, you may even be able to harvest some game or something.

If we can get something tomorrow, it means that going into the mountains to find food will be a good idea in the future. I hope nothing goes wrong.

Thinking about these random things in bed, Lin Donglai soon felt sleepy and fell into a sweet dream.

As if in the blink of an eye, the night gradually faded away, a faint fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and the sky gradually brightened.

What woke Lin Donglai up was not the crowing of the big rooster outside Xu Damao's house, but the noisy conversation in the yard.

Most of the people in this courtyard need to go to work and earn money, so they will naturally get up early to take care of breakfast and the children.

But there are exceptions, such as Xu Damao's family. This kid stays in bed almost every day and always rushes out when he is about to be late.

Not to mention Shazhu, he bought breakfast outside, so housework became easier. He just had to bring back the lunch box and Qin Huairu would help him with the housework.

Lin Donglai thought that he could take out the steamed buns in the space for breakfast. It was too early to go into the mountains, so he simply lay on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

[Ding! Today's sign-in reward has arrived, please confirm whether you have received it! ]

A mechanical female voice sounded in his mind, and he suddenly sat up with a somersault.

Check! System, please tell me what the sign-in reward is today?

Lin Donglai couldn't wait to ask the system, thinking that this reward couldn't be worse than the previous one.

[Host confirmed receipt, today's reward: Hunting Skills]

[Hunting skills can make it easier for you to capture and hunt various wild animals. Special note: only skills are provided, no weapons, please bring your own weapons]

After hearing this mechanical female voice, Lin Donglai smiled bitterly. This was probably the most stingy system in history.

I thought today's rewards would include some rice, flour, meat, vegetables, or even better items, but it seems that's all.

It really proves the old saying that it is better to rely on yourself than on the system.

At this point, Lin Donglai no longer had the desire to lie down in bed. He only wanted to finish today's work as soon as possible.

He carried a bucket and toiletries to the central courtyard to wash up, intending to take the opportunity to get some spiritual spring water to take home to drink. He would set off after his sister got up and had breakfast together.

As soon as I arrived at the central courtyard, I saw a plump woman bending over the sink and scrubbing clothes vigorously. There was no doubt that this was Qin Huairu.

Every morning Qin Huairu has to wash all the clothes for the whole family and then prepare meals for the whole family before going out to work.

Hearing the footsteps, Qin Huairu looked up and smiled: "Donglai, why are you up so early today? Is there something going on?"

Last night, Jia Zhang went to the Lin family but couldn't get the meat. After returning home and being pestered by Bang Geng for the whole night, she finally agreed to take out one dollar and let Qin Huairu buy the meat.

The Qin family was able to eat meat today, and in addition to Banggeng's contribution, Huairu was also grateful to Lin Donglai from the bottom of her heart.

Although the mother-in-law kept scolding Lin Donglai all night after she took out the money last night, it was so late that she could not fall asleep.

She was both afraid and hated her mother-in-law, who stayed at home all day long without doing any housework and even ate a lot.

She has to work and do housework at the same time, and is exhausted every day. However, she is still criticized by her mother-in-law. The most unbearable thing is that she must pay her pension after receiving her salary.

When the monthly income and food were not enough, she refused to spend a penny and had to rely on borrowing from here and there.

Lin Donglai greeted Qin Huairu's smiling face and smiled back, "Yes, Sister Qin, I have to go into the mountains to chop firewood today, and see if I can catch some wild goods along the way."

Although this woman has given birth to three children, she has a plump figure and a pretty face. No wonder Sha Zhu has always been thinking about her.

"Sister Qin, I never realized you had this ability before. You actually caught a wild rabbit yesterday. What a skill you have." Qin Huairu's eyes lit up as she flattered her.

Lin Donglai understood her intention. This woman just wanted to get close to him and get some benefits from him.

"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Qin. I was just lucky."

He is not a fool. As a young man, he does not want to have anything to do with a widow. It would bring him a bad reputation.

He quickly finished washing up, and while no one was paying attention to him, he quickly filled his bottle with spiritual spring water and walked home.
