Chapter 251 Let them all starve to death
"Of course I wouldn't marry someone as lazy as you, someone even a dog would dislike."
"Tell me, you're all grown up, what else can you do besides eat?"
"Your son was pushed into the river in broad daylight and drowned, and you did nothing, you did nothing..."
"You clearly know that someone is playing tricks, but you're just sleeping soundly at home. Last night, your son had a high fever and almost became mentally impaired, but you not only ignored it, you didn't even bother to close the front door. What use are you then?"
"Who doesn't know to close the gate? You woman, it's one thing to dislike me, but why are you accusing me?"
He was freezing last night, and he clearly got up and closed the door. How come he didn't close the door properly?
"Did you close it? Did you close it? What the hell? When I got back, I saw the front door was open. Tell me, did you close it?"
"I don't believe that door can grow arms and legs by itself. Once you've closed it, do you think it can open by itself?"
Er Lengzi was stunned when he heard this. Although his wife was fierce, she would never lie, so the door really was open.
When Zhang Cui saw that the man kept denying it and kept saying that he had closed the door, her heart skipped a beat.
When she arrived at the kitchen, it was as if a bolt from the blue had struck her on the head.
"Oh my god, I can't live anymore! You idiot, you stupid man, you're like a pig! You didn't even notice when a thief broke into the house! What's the point of you living like this?!"
Hearing his wife crying and wailing, Er Lengzi immediately ran to the kitchen. As soon as he got to the kitchen door, he saw a complete mess inside.
All the pots and pans in their house had been thrown on the ground, and the place where they used to store rice and flour was now completely empty.
Even the seasonings in the cupboard were all taken away, leaving the entire kitchen completely empty.
Er Lengzi was still not giving up, so he ran into the kitchen and turned it upside down, but the result was the same as he saw: nothing was left.
When Zhang Cui saw this scoundrel come in, she grabbed something from the ground and threw it at him: "Zhang Erleng, your parents named you Erleng, and you really live up to your name, you're such a dazed person."
"You couldn't even look after the house properly, and now everything is gone, not even a scrap of food to fill our stomachs. Now we're all just starving!"
"Anyway, we don't have any food at home. If they steal it all, then we might as well starve. Everyone in this house will starve to death."
Zhang Cui spoke very loudly, and her parents heard her, but the two old people never stepped out of the room.
They didn't even come to see their grandson because he was sick. But then again, the Zhang family isn't just Er Lengzi, who's the only male member.
Their grandsons weren't just Zhang Tiancai; the second and third wives had two or three precious children there, who were the apple of those two old men's eyes.
With those precious kids around, how could those two old fogies possibly still see Zhang Tiancai?
Zhang Tiancai, whose head was still a little dizzy, heard his mother's voice and was about to go and see her when Zhang Cui came out of the kitchen.
"Mom, what happened? Did my father hit you?"
It's no wonder Zhang Tiancai asked that question, because he saw that Zhang Cui's face was covered in tears, and it was obvious that she had just been crying.
Er Lengzi, who had followed his son out, heard this and quickly went to his side: "You brat, what are you saying? How could I hit your mother?"
He is indeed a bit of a scoundrel, a bit inhuman, but he treats outsiders that way; he wouldn't treat his own family that way.
Zhang Tiancai glanced at him after hearing what he said but ignored him. He wanted to know his mother's answer. Zhang Cui heard her son's question and then shook her head.
"It's okay, he didn't hit me. Son, wait outside for a bit, I'll go in and pack my things, and then we'll leave..."
The Zhang family was also robbed; everything was stolen, forcing Zhang's wife to take the children back to her parents' home.
Hearing this, Lin Cai didn't say anything, but she went back to the Lin family. Her parents were naturally happy to see their daughter return.
He pulled his daughter into the house and looked at her expectantly, asking, "It's been so long, why are you only coming back now?"
"Do you have enough food and drink at home? Should I ask your third brother to carry some back for you later?"
"Yes, yes, we have everything at home. I just came to ask if you have any food here, if you want some..."
"What do you mean by 'want' or 'don't we're hungry'? Even if we don't have any food, we still have your three older brothers, don't we?"
“The three of them are all so grown up. Your father and I raised them all these years. If they can’t even bring back a little bit of food, then they’re utterly useless.”
"Don't worry about food, your brother and the others will make it. If you don't have any, just come and get it, or have Da Chui and Er Shi come and tell them, and I'll have your brother bring it over for you."
What Lin's mother said was true; the Lin family really didn't lack food at all. She was more worried about the Gu family.
The Gu family has quite a few people, so they must eat a lot every day. She was worried that her daughter wouldn't have enough to eat at the Gu family home!
Lin Cai understood that her mother was worried about her, so she told her mother, "Mom, you don't need to worry about me. The Gu family still has food. Even if we only eat three meals a day, it will last us a month."
She also told Lin's mother that Gu Zhan had brought them several bags of rice, which she had hidden away. The rice would last them a long time, so there was no need to worry about food.
With food to eat and no need to go hungry, Lin's mother felt a little relieved. Then she asked Lin Cai if there was any meat to eat.
Lin Cai smiled helplessly and quickly said that she had meat, both fresh and marinated.
She had come to check on how the Lin family was doing, and seeing that they were all doing well, Lin Cai felt relieved.
On the way back, both Lin Hu and Lin Bao wanted to see them off, but they couldn't agree on what to do and started arguing!
Seeing that they were arguing, Lin Cai simply refused to let them take her home. She wasn't a child, and she wouldn't get lost on such a short distance, so why should she need someone to take her home?
After leaving the Lin family home, Lin Cai stopped at the door, glanced back at the gate, and then walked to the left.
Taking the right path leads to Gu's house, while taking the left path leads to Gu Zhan's house.
Lin Bao watched as his younger sister went to the left, then nudged Lin Hu.
