Chapter 205 The tough son-in-law simply won't tolerate being mistreated.
Chen Xia hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Lin Gang was relieved to see her nod.
He wouldn't have tolerated that family if he wasn't worried about his wife being caught in the middle.
To reduce the workload for his wife, he dawdled along the way, arriving around noon.
We'll be able to eat soon.
When the father-in-law saw that they had only brought two cabbages, he was so angry that he started cursing.
"It's one thing to be late, but you have the nerve to offer two big cabbages? So all you two brought were two mouths?"
Chen Xia had been scolded since childhood. When her father yelled at her, she was instinctively too scared to move, completely forgetting what Lin Gang had told her.
Lin Gang pulled her behind him and said, "Why is it not presentable? Dad, last time your family gave us a gift of two big cabbages, didn't you? My mother didn't complain at all, and even praised my father-in-law for his skill in farming and growing vegetables."
Chen Wu choked. No one had ever dared to defy him before, and now that he had been suddenly challenged, he didn't know how to respond.
Because he didn't grow those cabbages; he doesn't do any housework at home.
Almost all the housework, inside and out, was done by their daughters and their husbands.
"Alright, alright, it's good that you're here. Third brother, go help your two older sisters with the chores, dinner will be ready soon."
Chen Xia immediately went to the kitchen.
Lin Gang grabbed her and said, "Wife, didn't you say you needed to use the restroom? You've been holding it in all the way, go quickly."
Chen Xia paused for a moment, then whispered to her father, "Dad, I need to use the outhouse first."
"Go away, lazy people have too much to do. The food is all ready, you can eat as soon as you finish, you can't do anything else."
Chen Xia nodded and quickly went to the back of the house.
The whole family had only one plate of meat on the table. As soon as it was placed on the table, the mother-in-law shoveled half of it into Chen Yaozu's bowl, and the rest was for the whole family.
The remaining half plate of food had just been placed on the table when Chen's mother picked up a large chopstick and put it into Chen Wu's bowl before smiling and inviting her daughters and sons-in-law to eat.
Lin Gang gasped.
The scene of fighting over meat is a distant memory for him; it happened when his grandmother was still alive.
His grandmother was also extremely biased, favoring his younger brother and suppressing his family. She always taught his father that the older brother should give way to the younger brother.
I never expected to see it at my father-in-law's house again after so many years.
Seeing that neither his eldest sister nor his second sister's family was saying anything, he stretched out his chopsticks and directly into his brother-in-law's bowl, quickly picking up a piece and putting it into the only little girl's bowl on the table.
That's Sister Chen Xia's daughter, I introduced her earlier.
Everyone at the table looked at him.
Lin Gang grinned and said to Chen Yaozu, who was on the verge of tears, "Brother Yaozu, you're the uncle, you should give way to your niece, right?"
"Why should I give in to her? She's just a little girl, a money-loser. It's no use giving her food."
Lin Gang's smile froze.
Looking to the side, I saw that both my older sister and brother-in-law were frowning and not saying a word.
What? Are these two pushovers too?
My second sister's husband probably wasn't there, because he didn't come at all; it was just my second sister at the table.
I heard from Chen Xia that my second sister has a son who is still young, and I've never seen him.
They probably didn't want him to come to the Chen family and suffer, so they didn't let him come along at all.
"Then tell me, why is it called a money-losing product?"
"Once they're grown up, they'll belong to someone else; what else could they be but a money-losing burden?"
"Oh, so going to someone else's house means being a money-loser? Am I a money-loser then?"
"you are not."
"Oh, no, then where's your mother? Is she?"
The mother-in-law's expression was rather unpleasant.
But when she glanced at her husband, who had a dark expression and didn't say anything, she lowered her head and remained silent.
Chen Yaozu glanced at his mother and said firmly, "She's a money-loser too."
Chen's mother: "..." She was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.
Lin Gang laughed loudly, "Then you're a money-loser too, a little money-loser born from a money-loser. Little money-loser, stop eating. I'm not a money-loser, give me some to eat."
After saying that, he took all his bowls away.
People these days don't have enough oil in their stomachs, so they might have eaten too much.
He scooped up the meat with his chopsticks a few times, and there was hardly any left.
Chen Yaozu was so angry that he burst into tears.
The father-in-law couldn't hold back any longer. He snorted and put down his chopsticks, saying, "Lin Gang, are you here to cause trouble?"
Lin Gang smiled and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? What trouble could I possibly cause? I walked more than ten miles of mountain road to see you on the second day of the Lunar New Year. You can't possibly not let me have a bite of meat, can you?"
"You...you can't steal Yaozu's meat either."
"He can eat meat whenever he wants at your house. It's different for me. I rarely come here, and even when I do, I might not get any. What's wrong with him letting me have some?"
Chen Wu gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to talk back? Is this how the Lin family raises its members?"
"No matter how good the Lin family's upbringing is, it's still better than your Chen family's. Hmph, you keep calling your mother a money-loser, and you even say your own mother is a money-loser too. Go outside and yell a few times that your mother is a money-loser and see if anyone will think you're right."
How can you take a child's words seriously?
"Oh, so you can't take children's words seriously, so they're not a waste of money?"
Chen Wu: "..."
“My daughters are all excellent, and of course they are not a waste of money.”
"Alright, can your granddaughter eat a few bites of meat?"
Everyone was looking at him, and Chen Wu's face was extremely ugly.
He wasn't actually very capable, and he wasn't very tall either; he just looked like a cunning and treacherous villain.
Facing Lin Gang, who had worked in the coal mines for a year, he was a head shorter than Lin Gang and would be beaten to a pulp in no time if they were to fight.
Chen Wu was a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. When he saw that Lin Gang was even more ruthless than his second son-in-law, he immediately cowered.
"Yes, I can eat."
Lin Gang smiled and urged the little girl to eat quickly.
"Your grandfather told you to eat, so eat up."
Only then did the little girl dare to pick up her chopsticks and eat the meat.
The eldest brother-in-law also breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Lin Gang, and expressed his gratitude.
Lin Gang was speechless.
My brother-in-law looks rather fierce, so why is he such a coward?
Okay, now that you two cowards are together, who else would we bully if not you?
So the reason he started bullying his daughter and son-in-law was because he was a coward.
It seems my second brother-in-law isn't buying it, so he's not even coming.
After the meal, Lin Gang made an excuse to go to the restroom and asked Chen Xia to lead the way. He then pulled Chen Xia along and ran out the back door.
Then he told a villager to tell Chen Wu's family that they had to leave in half an hour because they had something to do.
Chen Xia looked puzzled and asked him, "Why are you running so fast?"
Lin Gang said, "Do you know how your father could tolerate two cabbages?"
"why?"
"He was thinking of getting your brother to ask us for more New Year's money later, so we quickly ran away while they were still eating to save that money."
Chen Xia fell silent immediately.
