189: Kill the Fish
"Who else?" Xu Lin rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, "That Lin Baozhu just can't stand my sister-in-law!"
When Zhou Hongmei heard Lin Baozhu's name, she frowned. She thought, why are the people from the Lin family so gloomy!
"What's going on? You didn't suffer any loss, right?" Zhou Hongmei looked at her daughter and then at her daughter-in-law, and asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, my sister-in-law and I can suffer the loss of Lin Baozhu?" Xu Lin subconsciously raised her chest and said seriously.
Zhou Hongmei glanced at her, but didn't say anything, but turned to look at her daughter-in-law.
It can be seen that in Zhou Hongmei's eyes, compared with her younger daughter, she is more reliable in her daughter-in-law.
Seeing this, Lin Baoxiu nodded quickly and said with certainty: "I didn't suffer any loss!" Lin Baozhu's methods changed the soup and didn't change the medicine, but she didn't know that those were nothing to her.
Being vicious in mind? Bullying children? Can't understand the painstaking efforts of blood relatives? You can say whatever you like, and you can't change the fact that you have nothing to do with the Lin family anymore.
In fact, she could understand Lin Baozhu's psychology, but she felt that she was not as good as her in the past, but now she has lived a good life and is not balanced.
The more intense Lin Baozhu's reaction was, the more it proved that she was doing well, right?
Because there were many guests at home, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a lot of preparations for dinner. Zhou Hongmei also asked Lin Baoxiu to go to the fourth aunt's house to buy wine and fish.
However, Aunt Si only collected money for wine. As for the fish, it was because it was knocked out by Uncle Si in the river, and did not collect money for Lin Baoxiu.
Lin Baoxiu felt a little sad when she took the things and didn't give her money. However, Aunt Fourth didn't give her a chance to talk and directly pushed the person out of the convenience store.
"Okay, hurry up and go home! This fish was not bought and sold by my family, nor was it raised by my family, but was frozen in ice and knocked back by your fourth uncle with a hammer. I didn't plan to sell it, so I put it in the convenience store, but I was tired of eating it at home..."
The fourth aunt kept chattering, leaving Lin Baoxiu with no chance to talk back. In the end, there was no choice but to carry the fish and wine home first. As for the fish money, Lin Baoxiu felt that she would let her mother-in-law do this.
But after she got home, she told her mother-in-law about this, and her mother-in-law had no burden at all.
"Look, you're so anxious!" Zhou Hongmei couldn't help but chuckled and said, "What a big deal? Isn't it just a fish? Are you still afraid that we will eat other people's fish for nothing? If she doesn't charge you money, then I won't give it to you. Isn't our family going to build a greenhouse? When our vegetables are ready, you can just send some. Your fourth aunt probably wants to send fish every day!"
Uncle Xu Si’s big hobby is fishing and shrimping. He almost never lacked these at home, so she asked Lin Baoxiu to try her luck, but she didn’t expect to bring such a big one back.
There are many people tonight, and if you have a fish and add dishes, it won’t look too cold.
I will go to the market tomorrow and buy some meat to come back.
Lin Baoxiu felt much better when she heard Zhou Hongmei say this.
She always felt that she should not take advantage of others, but she didn't know that going back and forth is a way to maintain intimate relationships.
Yes, you feel that you shouldn't bother me when you encounter something, and I feel embarrassed to bother you when you encounter something. As a result, your relationship will only get further and further apart.
After figuring this out, Lin Baoxiu happily took the knife and killed the fish. Xu Lin looked at her sister-in-law's pleasure in raising the knife and falling, and couldn't help but admire her for a while. She... dared not kill! Whether it was killing chickens and ducks or killing fish.
However, eating is more active.
Thinking of this, Xu Lin couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, so she ran over and asked her sister-in-law in a low voice: "Do you want me to help?"
"...No need!" Lin Baoxiu glanced at the little girl who was knotted and said lightly, "I'll pack it up soon!"
No, the hilt of the knife hit the fish head hard, and the fish that was originally jumping around fainted suddenly. After that, Lin Baoxiu grabbed the fish head with one hand and the knife with the other hand, scraping the scales in the opposite direction. She scraped the scales on one side in a few seconds, and the other side was the same.
Xu Lin was amazed at Lin Baoxiu's neat movements.
People who don’t know the truth think that her sister-in-law has killed many fish! But in fact, her sister-in-law should have rarely done similar things.
Xu Lin is right. She is just a skillful person. She has never killed fish. In the past, Li Lianhua didn't let her touch the kitchen stuff, but she was afraid that she would steal food, but she was not afraid of killing fish and chickens. After all, Lin Baoxiu could not eat chicken and fish raw.
These dirty things naturally reminded her. Fortunately, the Lin family ate fish in a handful of times and killed chickens very few times.
Lin Baoxiu thought about it and seemed that she still remembered the first time she killed a chicken. When she was in her teens, she had just passed the Chinese New Year. Lin Baozhu's elder brother wanted to leave home to learn skills. Li Lianhua was rare to be generous and asked her to kill a chicken. At that time, just like Xu Lin, her hands holding a knife were shaking. She wanted to say that she didn't dare, but no one paid attention to her gaze asking for help.
She still remembered what Li Lianhua said, either killing the chickens honestly or stopping eating!
At that time, eating was a big deal. Lin Baoxiu had no choice but to kill the chicken with her eyes closed. Later, because she chopped the chicken head, the chicken blood flowed all over the floor. She was beaten and scolded by Li Lianhua because the chicken blood could be eaten, but she wasted it like this.
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! What's wrong with you?"
Xu Lin shouted anxiously and pulled Lin Baoxiu out of her memories. Lin Baoxiu pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled slightly, "It's nothing, I just remember something!"
Lin Baoxiu continued to kill the fish, and in just three or two minutes, he packed up a fish.
She can kill fish and not burn them, so she wants to learn from Zhou Hongmei.
After hearing this, Xu Lin took the initiative to come over to cook the pot and asked her sister-in-law to study hard.
However, the old lady pulled her up, "You learn to learn too. I'll cook the pot. You're not too old. You should learn all these things, otherwise you will easily be troubled when you go to your in-laws' house!"
The old lady whispered while sitting down in front of the pot.
"..." Xu Lin blushed when she heard the word "in-law", but she still couldn't help but refute, "Who stipulates that women have to cook and cook?" Besides, she can cook and cook too!
"It was stipulated by my ancestors!" The old lady replied casually. Isn't it just the rules passed down by my ancestors? Otherwise, if you go all over the village, how many foods are made by men?
"It's not that there is no!" Zhou Hongmei said, "It depends on whether you are lucky or not. Can you find such a family in-laws!" Zhou Hongmei thought, a mother-in-law like herself is good, well, a mother-in-law like the Han family is also good, and she is not the one who will make things difficult for her daughter-in-law at first glance.
"..." Xu Lin was speechless after hearing this, and she didn't know what her future luck would be like.
