C20 A Farce
C20 A Farce
Early in the morning on the fourth day of the first month, Lin Miaoting stayed with Tang Mancang and the rest again and again but still chose to return home. After all, there was a common saying, "Guests don't stay three. No matter how good a relative's relationship was, staying too long would be annoying. Even if Lin Miaoting's family came, it brought a huge amount of income to the Tang family.
When Lin Miaoting's family left the Tang family, the Tang family gave them a pheasant and 10 pounds of pork as a bow.
When they returned home, it was already close to noon. Tang Xuemei split the wild pork into two. She passed the slightly larger piece to Lin Kaishan and asked him to send it to the upper house so that the two old men could taste it. Then, she stayed at home to prepare lunch.
The other half, Lin Miaoting and Lin Zhize, due to the stimulation of more than ten prey in the Tang family, took their tools and ran straight to the trap on the mountain. They hoped that the winter thunder would bring some benefits to their family. In fact, it did bring good benefits. Unfortunately, there were no wild boars.
When they reached the mountain, Lin Miaoting excitedly ran to the side of the trap. She carefully removed the first trap and a silly deer steadily stood on the pillar. The pillar pierced through its body. This hole was good! Next, the second trap. A gray rabbit was stuck in a pillar, and there was a hole beneath it. There might have been a living rabbit that had escaped from the hole. One after another, Lin Miaoting released the third one. The fourth, the fifth, The sixth trap could be said to be a trap. There was actually a fox in one of the traps!
When Lin Miaoting stabilized her mind and opened the seventh trap, she was stunned. What the hell! A living fox! And a fox that was in the remains of an animal! This was the fox's eyes that met Lin Miaoting's. Lin Miaoting was so scared that she threw away the trap cover!
This was really a trap, there must be something in it. In the end, there was a shock!
Lin Zhize noticed his sister's strange behavior, so he walked forward to take a look. When he saw the scene inside the cave, he was also shocked. Although he was a child who grew up in the mountains, he was still a little timid when he saw a living fox appear in front of him. This thing was a cannibal!
In the end, the two brothers decided to ignore the prey in the last pit. They took out the prey from the other pits and placed it in the basket backpack. Dry firewood was covered on top of it as a cover. After that, the two of them restored the other six traps and went to their homes at the foot of the mountain.
On the way home, the brother and sister only greeted each other and asked about the new year. They left after a long time. After all, they were two children. No one would guess much about the basket backpack they carried on their backs. They just thought that they were going up the mountain to pick up some firewood. Besides, what kind of shocking things could two children, who were half a year old, do?
When they walked close to the house, Lin Zhize and Lin Miaoting heard noises coming from far away. So the two of them quickened their pace, wanting to see what was going on. Initially, Lin Zhize wanted to rush into the house to see what was going on, but he was stopped by Lin Miaoting. Because she seemed to have heard the sound of the argument from the Lin family's sister-in-law, Lee Cuihua, she became a little more careful in her heart.
Lin Miaoting pulled Lin Zhize to the side of her staff and hid their basket baskets under the wooden staff. She covered them with some snow and used it as a disguise. Then, the two of them quickly walked into the house.
"Lin Second Brother, your parents raised you up, but you actually moved out. What do you think?" The moment Lin Miaoting opened the door, she heard a sharp voice.
"What does my family think? Why don't you ask sister-in-law what she thinks? Her eldest son pushed my family's Keer down the mountain and found her with great difficulty. In the end, he wanted to take money to see the doctor. What did sister-in-law say? Ah! " Tang Xuemei angrily pointed at Lee Cuihua. Daughter is a money-losing commodity. What illness do you want to see? "
"What's wrong? I was wrong! Isn't my daughter just a money-losing product? Now that you've cured her, when she marries you still need to pay for the dowry! "It's better to save money and buy some food for my parents and show them filial piety!" Lee Cuihua replied disapprovingly.
I'll go to your aunt's! My daughter is losing money? Aren't you my daughter at home?" Tang Xuemei said as she picked up her spoon and turned it towards Lee Cuihua's head! Lin Kaishan hurriedly pulled his wife and looked at another woman in the room.
"You are my second sister. Do you want me to watch my daughter and your niece die if I don't move out?" Lin Kaishan sounded a little angry, but he was more rational than Tang Xuemei. Lin Kaishan had already understood his family after he moved out.
Lin Miaoting, who had just entered the house, frowned. It turned out that she needed to thank Elder Lin's daughter for borrowing the corpse and returning to life. If she did not pull the original owner off the cliff, she would not have come to this world.
"How can I let my niece die?! Didn't I not know the reason?!" The Lin family's second aunt Lin Zhihe pretended to be wronged and said.
"Lin Zhihe, you know this time, shouldn't you get out of my house!" Tang Xuemei was pulled by Lin Kaishan and shouted at the Lin family's second aunt.
"Second sister-in-law, are you trying to chase us away? It's not easy for me not to have a meal when I go home." As Lin Zhihe spoke, she glanced at the pheasant on the stove and swallowed her throat. It had been a long time since she had eaten this!
Now that things had developed to this point, Lin Miaoting finally understood that the Lin family's second aunt, Lin Zhihe, had come to her house to take advantage of the autumn wind! It was most likely because she was envious of the wild pork that her father gave her!
Lin Miaoting steadied her mind and slowly walked to Lin Zhihe's side, "Second aunt, second aunt. Happy New Year."
"Good boy!" Lin Zhihe replied kindly. Tang Xuemei, who was originally furious, looked at Lin Miaoting in confusion. She did not know what her daughter wanted to do.
"Second Aunt, happy New Year ~ We are honored to be rich ~"
Lin Zhihe smiled and looked at Lin Miaoting. This little girl's mouth had become much sweeter after not seeing her for a year. She was a little happier than her own daughter!
Lin Zhihe was not happy for long. Lin Miaoting's following actions made Lin Zhihe feel a little embarrassed!
Lin Miaoting spread out her hands and said, "Give me the red packet." Everyone in the room was confused!
"Isn't saying auspicious words just to get the red packet?" Lin Miaoting said naively. Then she raised her voice so that the people outside could hear her.
Everyone looked at Lin Zhihe's face that was about to collapse and could not help but want to laugh. They did not know if it was because Lin Miaoting's actions were cute. It was still Lin Zhihe's red ass face.
"Keer! Second Aunt forgot to take the money when she went out. Wait for Second Aunt to go back to grandma's place to get it for you!" Lin Zhihe coaxed Lin Miaoting and thought to herself, "Could it be that a child still chased after her?! In the end, Lin Miaoting broke her fantasy. "Alright then. Second Aunt will follow you to Grandpa's house to get it later."
Lin Miaoting did not pay attention to Lin Zhihe's face which was already twitching uncontrollably. She turned around and walked towards Lee Cuihua with her hands clasped together again.
After the scene of asking for a red packet just now, Lee Cuihua's nerves tightened and she quickly said, "Aunt still has things to do at home. Aunt will leave first!" As she said that, she turned around and left. She did not want to give any red packets! Lin Zhihe looked at Lee Cuihua's back as she left and also walked out sulkily. If she did not leave, would she stay and give the red packet? She didn't have that free money.
A farce ended just like that.
