"Mom, I want at."
Seeing so much delicious food, Lin Tie Dan tugged on Chen Shulan’s sleeve and started clamoring.
Chen Shulan was also incredibly envious.
Her eyes darted around. ’If my son can get a bite,’ she thought, ’maybe I can get a taste, too.’
She imdiately pushed Lin Tie Dan and Lin Daya forward.
After a glance at the expressionless Leng Yuan, she spoke to Gu Jiaojiao.
"Gu Zhiqing, the two children are just craving a bite. Why don’t you let him have a little?"
With so much at, it wouldn’t matter if her son had just one piece.
In the distance, Chen Yan was watching them.
If Chen Shulan’s son could get so at, then her child could too.
Gu Jiaojiao looked at Chen Shulan and said with a smile, "Fifty cents, and I’ll sell you a piece."
Chen Shulan frowned. "A kid wants a piece of your at, and you’re asking for money? Have you gone crazy from being poor?"
"You’re one to talk about generosity. Why don’t you stew so at and hand it out to the whole village?"
"I’m only charging you fifty cents because it’s for a child. I’m already losing money on firewood and seasoning by selling it to you at this price. Don’t be ungrateful!"
Gu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes. ’How does this woman have the nerve to even show her face in front of ?’
Lin Jiandong had followed along to watch the excitent. He was staring intently at the car when he felt a chill run down his spine.
He turned around in confusion, only to see his wife pestering Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao for at.
And Leng Yuan... his pair of pitch-black eyes were fixed on him, heavy and dark...
Lin Jiandong’s skin tightened.
The injuries from his last beating had clearly healed, yet at this mont, an indescribable pain seed to spread throughout his body.
He hurried to Chen Shulan’s side, grabbed his wife and son, and left.
Any slower, and he figured he’d be the one getting hit.
The onlookers watched the couple, shaking their heads speechlessly.
Ever since they lost their reputation for being honest, Lin Jiandong and Chen Shulan had beco more and more shaless.
They were always thinking about how to take advantage of people. Taking advantage of others was one thing, but they even dared to try it with Leng Yuan. They must have a death wish.
Seeing this, Wang Shengli imdiately warned Chen Yan.
"If you dare go ask for at, I’ll beat you to death."
Leng Yuan was especially vicious when he fought. The last ti he was beaten by him, Wang Shengli had been laid up at ho for a month.
He didn’t dare provoke this god of death.
Chen Yan might act like a shrew in public, but she was actually terrified of her husband.
When her husband hit people, he really ant it, showing no rcy whatsoever.
The little thought she just had about getting so at now faded away.
Wang Daniu had also been clamoring for at, but seeing his father about to start hitting people, he imdiately quieted down.
His mother didn’t hit him, but his father really did.
anwhile, Chen Shulan was dragged away, but Lin Tie Dan and Lin Daya weren’t having it.
"Dad, we want at! Why can those little beggars eat, but I can’t?"
In the courtyard, Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang had been placed at the children’s table, in charge of hosting the other kids who ca for the feast today.
Families could have many children back then, so every household had quite a few.
Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang knew today was an important day, so they had cleaned their room and changed into new clothes first thing in the morning.
When the guests arrived for the feast, they helped serve tea and water.
When other children arrived, she, just as planned, led them to the kids’ table.
On the table were peanuts, lon seeds, and milk candies.
The children were imdiately captivated. The adults hadn’t expected things to be organized this way.
Usually, the children would just stay with the adults.
Except for the very little ones, any child who could eat on their own sat at the kids’ table.
And surprisingly, they were all behaving quite properly, had plenty to talk about, and were even livelier than the adults’ section.
Seeing this, the adults felt at ease.
Lin Tie Dan had instantly spotted Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang sitting at the table, dressed in new clothes.
