Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Not even a shred of meat was left for us Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Not even a shred of meat was left for us “Please, eat more. There’s more in the kitchen if it’s not enough,”

Lin Laogeng said to his grandson, Liu Chushui.

“He’er, where’s the chicken? Didn’t Brother Molian send half a chicken? Why hasn’t it been served?” Lin Caisang asked Lin Caihe, puzzled by the absence of the chicken among the wild vegetables she had collected.

Hearing her question, Lin Caihe guilty retracted her neck and gulped, before responding.

“We have only half a chicken at home, enough for us, let alone any left for him. It is already kind enough to let him eat cornbread, given how Second Uncle skimps on Brother.”

“Hmm?”

Lin Caisang’s eyes dangerously narrowed.

Despite what she said, she didn’t particularly like Liu Baixiao’s group either, but what she saw in Lin Caihe’s eyes told a different story.

“Brother Changfeng, fetch the chicken from the kitchen. Chushui is frail, presumably from how Second Uncle treats him…”

She then turned to Lin Changfeng.

Without saying more, Lin Changfeng knew what she hinted at. He nodded and went off towards the kitchen.

“Oh dear, Brother, wait…wait for me!”

Seeing Lin Changfeng head straight for the kitchen, the color drained from Lin Caihe’s face, and she rushed after him.

But she was too late. Lin Changfeng, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot, stood before the small kitchen table, staring at the bowl of chicken bones, which held not even a shred of meat.

“Lin Caihe!”

“Ah—”

After a while, those in the hall heard Lin Changfeng’s outburst followed by Lin Caihe’s shriek. Worry gripped everyone and they rushed out into the courtyard.

They saw Lin Changfeng, rolling pin in hand, chasing Lin Caihe who was ducking and weaving around the yard holding her head.

“Changfeng, Changfeng, what are you doing? Stop at once!” Seeing this, Yang Lin rushed forward, wresting the rolling pin from his hand, and let out a sigh of relief.

Such a sturdy rolling pin, if it really hit girl He, it could cause serious injury.

“He is your sister. Can’t you just talk over your issues? What if you caused her harm?”

“Mother, you have no idea what she did!” Snarling, Lin Changfeng glared at Lin Caihe nearby. His piercing gaze made Lin Caihe shiver and instinctively clutch her head in protection.

“What did you do this time to anger your brother?” Yang Lin looked at Lin Caihe with befuddlement.

“Mother, Second Sister ate up all the half chicken Brother Molian sent, not even leaving a small piece for us.” From the kitchen doorway, Lin Changyi shouted what had happened to Yang Lin.

Ling Changyi sensed something was wrong when he saw his elder brother chasing Second Sister, and the suspicion was confirmed when he entered the kitchen and saw the bare chicken bones in the bowl.

“What?!”

Yang Lin was shocked, but it was Lin Baiyi who gasped in surprise.

“Lin Caihe, you—you ate half a chicken all by yourself! Aren’t you afraid it’ll stuff you to death?”

Though a “chicken”, a wild one, having grown up in the woods, was larger and more robust than a house chicken. Its meat was tougher and thus heavier.

Even a wild chicken that survived winter was heavier than an average house chicken.

She managed to eat up half of it all by herself.

“It’s a blessing your brother didn’t beat you to death… If it was me…”

“Alright, alright, it’s just half a chicken. We’ll have Changhong catch more wild chickens from the mountain next time. Let’s not dwell on it.” Even though Lin Laogeng was disappointed in his granddaughter, he was still on her side.
