?Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Helping Relatives(6)_1 Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Helping Relatives(6)_1 “For snacks, sister-in-law, take two boxes and put them in the house for the children. The rest, I’ll leave for mom and dad.” At home, they made mooncakes and Lin Ziyin had Lin Changshu bring over ten bags, each with six pieces. The amount was quite plentiful.

After thanking them again, Zhen Shi had no worries about having plenty of snacks in her in-law’s room. Her in-laws were honest folks who never skimped on her or the children. If they had a bite to eat, the kids always got their fair share.

The braised meat, fatty meat, and chicken were then placed directly in the kitchen and locked up.

“This oil is too expensive, you should bring it back.” Looking at the six jars of vegetable oil, Father He Guo panicked. Having stayed at the Lin family’s for a day, they knew exactly how expensive that oil was.

“Uncle and auntie, no matter how expensive, it is made by our own family. The small jar contains sesame oil.” Lin Ziyin was indeed a generous person. Whatever the family made, she/ made sure Lin Changshu and Guo Huiniang brought some over.

“The tofu can be kept in cold water, but after tomorrow it can’t be eaten.” Lin Ziyin added another reminder.

“Ah, Ziyin, you’ve brought too many things.” He Shi was a bit uncomfortable with receiving so much.

“Let’s go, let’s go see the ducks.” Flush with gratitude, Guo Zhongkui had already planned on having his sister and brother-in-law take back some duck eggs and ducks. To be honest, given their current situation, they had nothing else that would be a suitable gift to give in return.

After the gifts were put away, Father Guo led them towards the riverbank, where they raised their ducks. The ducks were usually housed there.

Seeing them about to leave, Yu Shaohui quietly followed behind them, leaving only Kong Yieruo to watch the bullock cart.

“Duck, duck.” The river wasn’t far from the Guo’s house, and even before they arrived they could hear the quacking of the ducks. Yanzhi and Guo Baobao were so excited they ran off with an eagerness to see the ducks.

Guo Huiniang, worried that the children would accidentally roll into the river, quickly followed them, calling out, “Slow down.”

Lin Ziyin watched the children laughing and couldn’t help but smile herself, thinking how carefree and comfortable the world of children was.

The Guo’s raised their ducks well; they were all plump. If it weren’t for the fact that she had been told that the ducks had just gone through a harrowing experience, Lin Ziyin would never have believed that they had suffered.

“Did these ducks grow up eating little fish, shrimp, and snails?” Lin Ziyin asked.

“Indeed, they did.” Guo Shuanzhu responded proudly, “Our ducks produce the largest eggs. When it comes to raising ducks, no one in the village can compare to my father and brother.”

“Stop boasting.” Guo Zhongkui scowled at his younger brother.

“How is that boasting?”. Just as they were talking, they turned to see a group of people standing behind them.

When the Guo family saw who it was, they all furrowed their brows.

“Huiniang, why didn’t you come to visit first aunt’s house when you returned?”

“Your second uncle knew you were coming and rushed back from the fields.”

“Son-in-law, why did you bring your sister here? This thoughtless girl, she doesn’t know how to treat guests.”

…

“First Uncle, Second Uncle, our household is busy, I have to return soon.” Guo Huiniang said with a forced smile.

“No matter how busy you are, shouldn’t you at least have a meal at home? Old Three, you are in the wrong…” The oldest uncle began lecturing them, acting as an elder.

Father Guo’s face darkened. He glared at his eldest son, “The kids are busy at home. They are our children and can come over whenever they want.”

“Mom and Dad, why did you come over?” Zhen Shi timidly glanced at her parents.

“You ungrateful girl, we are your parents. How is it wrong for us to visit our daughter’s home?” Lin Ziyin frowned at the large group of people. As expected, just as her sister-in-law mentioned, Zhen Shi was a good person. It’s just a pity that she had such a tiresome family.
