Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 113 sent a cartload of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

The sixth brother was talkative and quick-witted. Since Pei Sihai had asked him, he naturally didn't hide anything and told Pei Sihai everything he had seen and heard at the Gu family's house that day.

Pei Sihai felt relieved to hear that Lin Chang'er hadn't suffered any loss, but then asked again about the incident where Lin Chang'er's head was injured and she almost lost it.

The sixth brother didn't know much about the matter, so he scratched his head and said, "Master, I only heard the second master mention it briefly, saying that the son of that scoundrel relative was secretly following her that day or something."

"If the second master didn't say anything more, that shrew naturally wouldn't admit it or say anything."

"So, more specifically, I don't know either."

Pei Sihai nodded, waved his hand, and Lao Liu went back to his work.

Pei Sihai stroked his goatee. He had traveled all over the country with his master and had witnessed the fierce and unruly customs of some places.

There are many things he can't control or manage, but Chang'er is different.

This girl is shrewd and straightforward. Putting aside the mutual interests involved, he genuinely cares for her as a junior.

So we still need to ask Chang Yatou what exactly happened. We need to investigate further, and her personal safety must be guaranteed.

At this moment, Lin Chang'er was teaching everyone arithmetic. When she returned, Gu Dalang and Gu Erlang had gone up the mountain to cut wild sugarcane, so they were not there. This was also one of the reasons why Gu's mother closed the door and pretended to be burying her head in the sand.

However, the two brothers managed to get back before afternoon classes started.

Lin Chang'er canceled her break time between classes simply because she was taking those five gluttons to the beach tonight.

When get out of class ended, the women that Aunt Zhou had asked to help arrived. They were all acquaintances. Xiaoshan, Xiaoshu, and Datou's mother, Sister-in-law Xiaohua who lived next door, volunteered to help. Sister-in-law Zhou also came to help, carrying Zhou Mu on her back.

Aunt Zhou had spoken to Lin Chang'er beforehand, so as long as it didn't cause any delays, Lin Chang'er naturally had no objections.

After all, it's always easier for her to know someone well than to find another troublemaker to cause her more worry.

Zhou Mu is already able to walk on his own, but resources are too scarce in this era, children don't get enough nutrition, and their development is relatively slow, so he always walks with a bit of no energy.

However, the Gu family had many children, and they were all quite friendly with each other. So, as soon as Zhou Mu arrived at the Gu family, he asked a few of the younger ones to take him to play in Shatin.

Yes, Shatin is not only a prop for Lin Chang'er's classes, but also a source of joy for several younger children.

Lin Chang'er didn't understand either, but children's happiness is probably that simple. But even grabbing a handful of sand and watching it slip through their fingers is fun.

Seeing that Zhou Mu was not being ostracized and that Zhou Li was watching over him, Zhou San's wife felt relieved and went back to work.

The evening menu was discussed by Lin Chang'er, Gu's mother, Gu's sister-in-law, and Aunt Zhou.

The main dishes are local specialties, mountain produce, and river delicacies, including fried small fish, loach stewed with tofu, and stir-fried snails.

The loaches and snails were caught by the village children, and Lin Chang'er asked Gu's mother to buy them back at the market price.

Gu's mother was lucky; the village hunters had just returned with several wild rabbits, pheasants, and muntjacs, and she bought them all.

Lin Chang'er then made spicy rabbit head, stewed pheasant with mushrooms, and braised muntjac meat.

Local dishes include garlic-flavored shepherd's purse and stir-fried tofu with shepherd's purse. Staple foods include rice noodle cakes with side dishes such as braised pork and dried bamboo shoots, as well as noodle dumplings.

Dinner was almost ready when Bai Shaoan and his five gourmands arrived.

To Lin Chang'er's surprise, Wu Qingfeng also came along.

Lin Chang'er was busy at the moment, so the two didn't get a chance to talk. Not only that, Bai Shao'an also took the initiative to help greet the five gluttonous guests who came to go beachcombing.

The five people were very enthusiastic, saying that since it was their first visit, they couldn't come empty-handed.

So the five of us each bought a little, and ended up buying almost a whole carload of gifts.

When Lin Chang'er saw them carrying things down, she quickly stopped them. They had given her money to play with, how could she accept such a gift?

Wu Qingfeng had already guessed that she wouldn't accept it, and smiled from the side, "Take a look at what's inside first before you decide."

Lin Chang'er paused. The gifts were all wrapped in boxes, so she couldn't see them. It would be so impolite to open them in front of the guests.

Fortunately, someone immediately offered, "We didn't know what to buy, but thanks to Brother Pei for reminding us that the Second Master's family has several children of school age, we were thinking of buying some books, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones."

Then another person chimed in, "They're all cheap stuff, the second boss is just letting the kids practice."

The other three chimed in, "Yes, yes, Second Master, don't refuse. We're the ones who got a good deal. We were the first to arrive, and with Brother Pei's guidance, the ones who come after us will have a headache."

As they spoke, the five of them burst into laughter, as if they had really gotten a great deal.

Then someone else sniffed the air and said, "It smells so good! What delicious food has the second boss prepared? Take us to see it!"

"Yes, yes, I smelled it just now!"

"The moment my feet touched the ground, my stomach started rumbling. Is the second boss going to keep us here starving?"

They're all shrewd people, and they're extremely careful with their words. If Lin Chang'er refuses again, she'll be seen as ungrateful.

"Then I'll thank you all on behalf of the children!" Lin Chang'er said politely, and hurriedly led everyone into the courtyard, introducing as they walked, "I thought you've all eaten all sorts of delicious food over the years, so when you come here, you should naturally try the local specialties. So I didn't prepare anything special, just some local dishes."

As she spoke, she named a few dishes.

Immediately, someone got excited, "The Er Dong family is really thoughtful. We can't wait any longer."

Lin Chang'er didn't waste any more words and led the people into the main room, serving them tea first.

Lin Chang'er personally poured the tea for them, saying, "You must all be used to drinking famous teas, but today you should also try some of the local tea leaves from our mountain."

The gourmands, being curious about novelty, all gave him face, slowly savoring the tea from their simple bowls.

He showered her with compliments as if they were free, but Lin Chang'er didn't take them seriously. She simply chatted politely with him for a while.

The little goldfish ran over and said, "Mommy, Grandma asked if we can serve the food yet."

Seeing that their teacups were almost half empty, Lin Chang'er nodded and said, "Let's serve!"

The five of them were guests, so they ate alone in the reception room of the main hall.

Wu Qingfeng and Bai Shaoan ate with Lin Chang'er. The Gu family already had a lot of people, and with the help they had hired more people today, there weren't enough seats at two tables.

Fortunately, the people in the countryside are mostly simple and honest. They serve rice, add a couple of bites of vegetables with some soup, and you can eat anywhere you sit down.

Especially Zhou San's wife and Xiao Hua's wife, they only mixed some soup and then sat on the big rock in the backyard with their two children to eat.

Seeing this, the mothers of Xiaoshan, Xiaoshu, and Datou also took their children to the backyard...
