Seeing Mrs. Zhang scared away, Lin Sanshui waved to everyone to disperse.
With all the excitement gone, what's the point of staying here!
Gu Nian's eyes lit up, and she suddenly exclaimed, "I know why Little Niu got injured!"
The crowd that was about to leave suddenly stopped in their tracks.
"Girl, do you know what happened?" asked someone who loved a good drama.
Gu Nian nodded with her big round eyes, "Yesterday, I tripped on the mountain and fell right in front of a big tree, even hit a rabbit. When we brought the rabbit back, we ran into Little Niu. Little Niu was very fierce, insisting on knowing where the rabbit came from. My brother was a bit silly; he thought I had kowtowed to the Grandfather Tree and that's why the Grandfather Tree gave us the rabbit, so he told Little Niu that. Little Niu must have wanted to eat the rabbit too, so he went to kowtow to the Grandfather Tree..."
Gu Nian spoke in a naive tone, her words clear, making her seem adorable while making people sigh at Mrs. Zhang's rudeness.
Things like this, although sometimes coincidental, anyone with a sane mind wouldn't believe it, right?
Moreover, if your son gets hurt out of his own greed, how could that be blamed on others?
However, just thinking about a child tripping and hitting a rabbit, some folks marveled at her luck, while others couldn't help feeling a tinge of jealousy.
But feeling bitter is one thing; most people just say a few envious words and wouldn't actually do anything harmful.
Also, the aroma of meat wafting from the Lin Family today, the unaware also attributed it to the rabbit stew.
Some saw Dahu taking Gu Nian to wash pig offal, which is also a poor family's delicacy, nothing too fancy.
At Little Niu's house, Mrs. Zhang suddenly shoved her husband, "Lin Man, you're such a coward, only know how to nitpick at home, can't you see how your wife and child are being bullied? If you've got the guts, go and stand up to Lin Sanshui!"
Lin Man squatted on the ground, distressed, holding his head with both hands, "I told you from the start it's not their fault, it's our own fault for not watching the kid properly. You're the one who had to go make a fuss, now we've suffered for it, what can I do? Our lineage is already struggling, wanting a child is tough, parents didn't leave me any brothers, I'm the only one to confront their family, isn't that just asking for a beating?"
Unlike Little Niu's family, although Mrs. Zhang's troublemaking was somewhat bothersome, Lin Sanshui seemed as happy as a lark seeing his big brother's and second brother's families arrive.
Lin Shui and Lin Ershui came over with their wives shouldering hoes. As soon as they entered, Lin Ershui asked, "Old Three, didn't you say Lin Man came to cause trouble? Where is he?"
They had come based on Dashan's word to help, but after arriving, there wasn't a soul to be seen, instead the courtyard was filled with a tantalizing smell of meat.
"It wasn't Mr. Man, it was Mrs. Man who brought Little Niu to stir up trouble. Third Uncle asked me to call you guys over," Lin Dashan quickly explained.
Lin Shui raised his hand and knocked him on the head, "Is your Third Uncle stupid or are you stupid? Calling us all over for a woman, do you expect us to hit a woman? Doesn't sound ridiculous at all!"
Lin Sanshui said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Big Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong, I didn't call you over for a fight. We bought some meat today, and I thought, it's been a long time since us three brothers got together, why not take this opportunity to have a couple of drinks and satisfy our cravings."
