Chapter 201 The Kicked-Over Barrel
When Jiang Yuanyuan heard her talking about picking up snails, the kid who ran over said with disdain, "Snail meat is so small, it's useless to pick them up."
Jiang Yuanyuan raised her little head and said, "Grandma's fried snails are delicious."
Yu Qingtang's eyes lit up. She also liked eating snails.
I followed a group of kids to the paddy fields where they were catching loaches.
There were buckets and basins that they had kicked all over the paddy field, and the ground was littered with snails and clam shells.
The children were stunned when they saw this scene, and some of the younger ones burst into tears.
Jiang Yuanyuan clenched her fists, her eyes were red, and her big eyes were sparkling with tears.
When Yu Qingtang first saw this scene, he thought it was just a group of naughty kids playing this.
But looking at their appearance now, I know that these pots, buckets and the like were not overturned by them.
"Woooooo~"
"Damn it! Who knocked over my basin? I caught so many loaches and eels, but they all ran away."
Seeing so many children crying, Qi Lixia quickly took out some candy to comfort them.
"Be good, stop crying, let's get back together, okay?"
A child ate candy while crying, "Wow, I've been grabbing it for a long time, woo, woo, woo, I thought I could eat it today, but now it's all gone, woo, woo~"
Yu Qingtang felt overwhelmed as he listened to the crying.
"If I had known it, I wouldn't have come."
Qi Lixia was more patient than her, and slowly she managed to coax all the children into submission.
He looked at the children who were obediently picking up the clam shells and screws scattered on the ground, frowned and said, "I don't know which wicked person did this."
"Who knows? He must be jealous of others doing well."
Yu Qingtang pinched Jiang Yuanyuan's little face and said, "Yuanyuan, you tell me: the guy who stole your eels and loaches is in big trouble."
Qi Lixia gave her an unpleasant look.
"How can you teach a child like this?"
You don't know her power.
Jiang Yuanyuan is the little lucky charm, and anyone who bullies her will be in trouble.
Yu Qingtang felt a sense of pleasure at this moment, as she helped others get drunk while she was the only one sober. She wiped away Jiang Yuanyuan's tears with her fingers and coaxed her, saying:
"Be good, Yuanyuan, don't cry. Let's curse the guy who did the bad thing and make him suffer bad luck."
Jiang Yuanyuan clenched her fists and angrily followed Yu Qingtang in cursing.

Old Lin Family
Lin Wen and Lin Wu poured the loaches and eels into a bucket, filled it with water, and placed it in their room.
"Brother, there are so many loaches and eels, we can eat them for many days."
Lin Wu excitedly lay on the bucket, drooling as he looked at the loaches and eels inside.
Lin Wen pulled him away and said calmly: "We have to hide the loaches and eels. We can't let my uncle and aunt see them, otherwise we won't have anything to eat."
Lin Wu: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of our things."
Lin Wen was not at ease with his younger brother.
"We're going to lock the door when we go out. I've got the key."
"Okay."
Lin Wu looked at the loaches and eels jumping around in the bucket, swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother, I'm so hungry now, I want to eat."
"Okay, let's eat a little now, don't eat too much. If my uncle doesn't give us food tonight, we'll go to someone else's house for dinner."
"Yeah, yeah, I'll listen to you, brother."
After the two brothers finished talking, they caught a few big fat eels.
The old Lin family only has one kitchen. When Lam Ka-tung was alive, both families had keys to the kitchen and set cooking times for each family.
But after Lam Ka-tung went in, Lam Ka-liang took the keys from his two nephews.
Lin Wen and Lin Wu knew that the two kids couldn't win the fight, so the adults didn't try to snatch the thing by force.
As early as after their mother died, the two of them secretly dug a hole under the kitchen.
The two climbed into the kitchen, heated up the oil in a pan and stir-fried the eel, and also cooked some rice using the rice that their uncle had left in the kitchen.
They didn't dare take too much, for fear of being discovered and not being able to eat next time.
……
At the end of the afternoon when work was over, Yu Qingtang and Qi Lixia led a group of children to sweep all the paddy fields nearby, and everyone returned with a full load.
The parents who returned from Xiaguan were very happy to see that their children had caught so many loaches and eels.
"Goudan is awesome. I'll make it for you when I get home."
"Dahua is awesome. She can find meat to eat by herself."
"Huh? Yuanyuan, why are you carrying only screws?"
An adult saw that Jiang Yuanyuan's bucket was full of screws and thought she was ignorant, so he kindly said to her:
"Snails are not tasty and have little meat. You can only feed chickens with them. Ask your brother Dazhu to give you a few large yellow eels."
Jiang Yuanyuan held her bucket in both hands and shook her head wildly.
“Grandma’s screwdrivers are delicious.”
"What's so delicious about snails?"
Before the adult could say anything, Grandma Jiang came over.
She took the small bucket from her granddaughter, and the adult said, "Children just like to eat these strange things. I just fried them for her to eat for a fresh taste."
The adult said with a smile: "You are the one who spoils your child."
Grandma Jiang: "It's not a big deal, the kids just like it."
Qi Lixia also sighed with Yu Qingtang: "There are so few families who love their children as much as Grandma Jiang and teach them well."
When the group passed by Lao Lin's house, they suddenly heard a loud roar coming from there.
"Ah——you two little bastards, what have you been doing at home all day long!!!"
The voice belonged to Lin Jialiang's daughter-in-law, so the two children she was scolding were only Lin Wen and Lin Wu.
Although many people don't like those two children, their parents are not around now and they can't just sit there and do nothing if they hear it.
So the group of people hurried to gather at Old Lin's house.
Yu Qingtang, a guy who likes to watch the fun, must be among them.
Qi Lixia originally didn't want to go, but since everyone else was going, it would be a bit conspicuous if she didn't go at this time.
So he could only follow Yu Qingtang.
Originally, everyone thought that Lin Jialiang's wife couldn't stand her two nephews and was unhappy with them as soon as they got off work.
But when they got there, they realized they seemed to have misunderstood someone.
The old Lin family's house has the simplest layout, with a main room in the middle and two main rooms at both ends, one for each of the two brothers Lin Jiadong and Lin Jialiang.
At this time, the main room of Lao Lin's house was full of eels and loaches.
Loaches are okay, but eels look a bit creepy, especially the long and big ones that look almost like snakes.
Lin Jialiang's wife was most afraid of snakes. When she entered the house and saw the eels all over the floor, she was almost scared to death.
She thought there was a snake in the house.
After a closer look, I found that these were all eels.
There are only a few people in the family. She and Lin Jialiang have to go to work, and their son has gone to school. It goes without saying that who made this thing.
