Meanwhile, Sanhu calmly walked into the kitchen. When he saw Gu Nian starting the fire and Dahu busy cooking, he quickly walked over to Gu Nian. “Sister, why don’t you go and rest for a while? I’ll help Big Brother start the fire.”

“Alright. Thank you, Third Brother.” Gu Nian had put the meat and seasoning into the pot. As long as it didn’t burn, it would be fine. Gu Nian was done here.

As for the rest, Dahu could handle it.

Gu Nian went outside to get a basin of water to wash her face and hands. Only then did she feel more comfortable.

As Xiaohu pulled Gu Nian over, he began to talk about what he and Sanhu had done today. Gu Nian listened quietly. Occasionally, she would look surprised and would praise him. She was a good listener.

In the Lin family’s courtyard, everyone was smiling other than the injured Erhu. The atmosphere was warm.

Lin Sanshui was talking to Mrs. Jiang. The weather was too hot. They were afraid the meat they bought would go bad if they couldn’t finish it. Hence, they wanted to invite their two brothers’ families for a gathering. The last time they had a gathering was during the new year, and the brothers hadn’t had a drink together for a long time.

Mrs. Jiang deliberately glared at him, complaining that he had bought so much meat. It was probably his plan from the beginning.

Mrs. Jiang had wronged Lin Sanshui. He didn’t think so much when he bought it. Moreover, the reason why Lin Sanshui bought so many was all because of Gu Nian. At most, he couldn’t stand his daughter’s coquettishness.

Just as Mrs. Jiang nodded in agreement, a loud voice suddenly came from outside. “Mrs. Jiang, come out! Your family must give me an explanation today, or I’ll not leave your house today!”

The voice arrived before the person arrived. Mrs. Jiang was very familiar with that voice. Wasn’t it the village’s big mouth, Mrs. Zhang?

The two families were related. It was said that the great-grandfathers of the two families were brothers.

Mrs. Zhang liked to gossip about others. However, she didn’t want the Lin family to know her family’s issues, so she rarely interacted with the Lin family.

However, Mrs. Zhang came to their house and spoke in a harsh tone. Mrs. Jiang didn’t like trouble, but she was not afraid of it.

Looking at Mrs. Zhang and her son, who had already walked in, Mrs. Jiang asked with a cold face, “Sister-in-law, no one in our family has offended you, right? What kind of explanation do you want from me?”

Lin Sanshui was also extremely angry. The good mood just now was disturbed and disappeared with a bang. “That’s right, Sister-in-law. Even though we did argue a little in the car today, it was your fault. You don’t have to come to my house to ask for an explanation.”

Mrs. Jiang looked at Lin Sanshui in surprise. He hadn’t had time to tell her about his quarrel with Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang’s eyes were wide open. With a strong pull, she pulled Xiaoniu in front of the people. Because of the excessive strength, Xiaoniu almost fell to the ground.

Pointing at Xiaoniu’s forehead, Mrs. Zhang shouted angrily, “This is outrageous. You have no conscience. Everyone, come and take a look. This family has bullied us. They’re not giving us a way out.”

With all the commotion, the Lin family’s gate was instantly filled with people. Some even entered the courtyard directly.

The man with the hoe happened to pass by and saw the crowd in front of the door. He worriedly squeezed in, put down the hoe, and walked to Lin Sanshui. “Third Uncle, what’s going on?”
