Chapter 167 Lin's Family Banquet

"Come on, I'm cooking myself today, and everyone has tasted my cooking skills. I haven't done it for a long time, and my hands have been born. Mrs. Lin warmly greeted several children to eat more.

"Ha, Aunt Lin is biased. Why didn't we ever make these many things for us when we came here? Now that we have married our daughter-in-law and prepared such a large pile of delicious food, it's really enviable!" Cher protested unbalancedly.

"It's just you girl in her mouth. Change tomorrow, I'll find a son-in-law who can cure you. Let's see if you still come to me to talk nonsense!"

"Auncle! What are you talking about?" Cher pouted, but her face turned red.

Several people laughed, and Lin Yi announced the start of the family banquet. After a day of tossing, everyone was hungry, so they devoured this table of delicious food.

"Is it delicious?"

"Ye, my mother's craftsmanship is invincible in the world!" Yuwei said with a mischievous smile.

"This girl has been with Xue'er for a long time. How can she learn such a slippery tone!"

"Auncle! Why are you involved with me again?" Cher's pouted little mouth began to protest again.

"Hehe, eat more if it's delicious! Man Xiu, why is this food not to your taste?

Man Xiu sitting next to Mrs. Lin was obviously a little constrained and did not let go like other people. After all, he entered the door of Lin's house for the first time, and he didn't enter here like Xue'er.

"Here is your own home, don't be bound!" Although Lin Yi's rare words are stiff, their concern is all in them.

"What do you like to eat? I'll give it to you." Mrs. Lin asked Man Xiu with concern.

"Thank you, madam. I'll do it myself."

"What kind of madam is not a madam? From now on, you will call me..." Mrs. Lin looked at Man Xiu's handsome face and couldn't help thinking of her sister who had passed away for more than ten years, and her eyes were full of tears.

"Like Jinlan and Cher, it's also called uncle and aunt." Looking at the surprised eyes of everyone, Lin Yi took over his wife Zhao's words, for fear that she would make Man Xiu call her aunt and make Man Xiu inexplicable.

"Master!" Mrs. Lin doesn't seem to be satisfied with this name. Man Xiu is the only flesh and blood left in the world by her sister! Can't you recognize each other when you meet?

"Man Xiu, you said today that your mother is Meng, right? What's her name? Where do you live now? What about your father? What's Qin's name? Can I see them?" Mrs. Lin's series of questions not only stunned Man Xiu, but also surprised the rest of the people on the table.

"Madam!"

"Master, why can't you say it? I won't recognize the wrong person. He is Man Xiu, the son of my sister Xintao!" After all, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but pour out everything she wanted to say. But because of her words, Man Xiu just took a sip of water and almost spit out. He opened his eyes and looked at Mrs. Lin. Obviously, he felt puzzled by this. Has his mother ever had a sister? Why have you never heard her mention it?

Madam, I think you are really wrong. My mother's name is Meng Ling and my father's name is Qin Wei. We have lived in Maxing Street in Kaifeng since childhood. My father is a seller, and my mother is a housekeeper. Although she is not a rich family, she also lives a very rich and happy life. I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Where are they? Where is it now?" Mrs. Lin did not stop. She knew that her sister and brother-in-law had died unexpectedly. It was not surprising that the couple who adopted Manxiu appeared. She must ask clearly.

"My father has passed away a long time ago, and my mother has also been separated from me because of a childhood fire, and has not been found so far." Man Xiu's eyes dimmed, and this past was the pain in his heart.

"When I was a child? How old were you?"

"Thirty-year-old." The age of Man Xiuji is remembered very clearly, which has become the watershed of his life, the heaven before and the hell after.

"Then how have you been here for more than ten years?" Mrs. Lin can't imagine how a seven-year-old child can survive without his parents.

The question that Mrs. Lin was concerned about really made Man Xiu a little overwhelmed. Although most of the people on the table knew his past, it was still cruel to tell his past one by one from his own mouth to listen to this Mrs. Lin, who is better than his mother.

"I'm doing well." After a long time, Man Xiu squeezed out these few words. Look at the scars on his face. It's strange to live a good life!

"What's wrong with the wound on this face? Are they all Cher's masterpieces? Why did she hit you? Mrs. Lin still asked unrelentingly.

"Madam!" Lin Yi really can't do anything about his wife. Doesn't he never care about the children's affairs? Why is it abnormal to ask like this today?

Man Xiu coughed twice, but he didn't know how to answer. Looking at Xue'er, in order not to talk about Jin Lan, she had to say, "I often offend her."

"Auncle Lin, don't frame me. I just hit him a few times. What's more, even if I hit him, it can be heavy! Besides, he is good. Can I play?" Xue'er stared at Manxiu fiercely at this time. If he hadn't invaded Sister Jinlan, Sister Jinlan would have been the happiest bride now!

"You won't, are you messing with someone outside?" Mrs. Lin asked worriedly. Without the care and education of your parents, don't learn to live a lonely life for more than ten years.

"No, no, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Make your wife laugh!" God, Man Xiu doesn't know what he is talking about.

"You said that you grew up in Kaifeng, did your mother tell you that you were born in Kaifeng or moved to Kaifeng later?" Man Xiu thought that Mrs. Lin's inquiry to him would come to an end, but he still did not let it go.

"I moved there later. It turned out that I still lived in Danyang for a while." At this time, Jinlan, who had been silent for a long time, interrupted.

"Huh? Jinlan, how do you know?"

"Oh, Aunt Lin, I haven't told you about this. My father and Manxiu's brother's father are sworn brothers, that is, in a village called Zhulin Village in Danyang."

Ah, isn't it? It turns out that there is still this fate. No wonder you call him one by one!"

Jinlan smiled bitterly. Should she be happy or worried now?

Man Xiu is obviously a little unnatural. Although he hasn't done anything to Jinlan, it has tarnished the innocent reputation of other girls anyway. The so-called love debt is difficult to repay, what can we do in the future?

Lin Yi is a quick-eyed person. He saw the abnormality of Man Xiu and Jinlan at a glance, so he changed the topic and said, "Are you all full? Why doesn't anyone move chopsticks anymore!"

"Ha ha, the plates are empty, Uncle Lin, what do you want us to eat?" Cher said mischievously, as if she was the least afraid of Lin Yi's majestic face.

After Lin Yi's reminder, she found that most of the dishes on the table had come to an end. After all, the lady's craftsmanship was so good that the children had eaten them.

"Lian'er, let's have dessert." The little girl who came out with boiled eggs before turned out to be called Lian'er.

"Man Xiu, come on, taste your aunt's craftsmanship."

Man Xiu was stunned, and then stared at Mrs. Lin with wide eyes. Didn't you clearly tell the other party that you are Qin Manxiu, not the nephew they are looking for? Auntie? Where does this start?

"Why, don't you like dessert? Then my aunt won't do it for you in the future. Tell me what you like to eat!" Mrs. Lin was determined today and would never listen to her husband's advice. She decided that Man Xiu was her own nephew.

Man Xiu didn't realize it for a long time. Unexpectedly, someone like him would take the initiative to recognize him, and he was obviously not the person they were looking for!

"This is a little salty. Do you like salty food? Come on, try it. Your mother liked to eat the snacks I made when I was a child. But since she married Jinhua, she has never eaten it again, alas! Unexpectedly, after her father's funeral, it turned out to be her..." Mrs. Lin recalled the life of her childhood and her sister, and was overjoyed. Thinking of her sister's tragic death, she burst into tears. For a moment, not only was it a long time, but also the rest of people on the table were silent.

"Madam, it's all over, don't think about it anymore." Looking at Zhao, who kept wiping tears, Lin Yi also sighed.

"Auncle Lin, what the hell is going on?"

"Yes, mother, I haven't heard you say that there is still an aunt living in Jinhua!" Seeing her mother wiping tears, Yuwei knew that it was by no means false, but why did her mother never mention her aunt before?

"This matter has to be started 18 years ago."

"Madam!" Lin Yi doesn't seem to want his wife to mention the previous story.

"Master, Xintao has existed. No matter what she has done, she is my own sister. Moreover, I am convinced that she will never do that kind of deviant thing and destroy her happy family with her own hands! Now, Man Xiu has also returned, and he has the right to know what kind of person his parents are! Yuqing and Yuwei also have the right to know! If you think that I will tell this story, it will affect Yuqing's future, then I will only tell Man Xiu, he must know!"

Man Xiu doesn't know what it feels like in his heart now. I'm afraid that he is the least qualified to know this story, but Mrs. Lin decided to recognize him. What can affect Lin Yuqing's future must not be a good story. Do you want to listen to it yourself?

"Mom, what kind of story is it? Will it affect my brother's official career?

"Father, I remember you told me that the truth is always the truth. In this case, why do you need to cover it up?" Lin Yuqing also seems to have a great interest in this story.

"Acle Lin, Jinlan is a little uncomfortable. Let's say goodbye first." At a glance, I knew that Jinlan felt that she was an outsider and found an excuse to leave in advance.

"They are all family members, and there is nothing to be seen. Jinlan sat down. Although you are not my daughter, I have long regarded you as a daughter. This story is like this. I only heard Mrs. Lin tell the origin of the story.
