Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 63 A Heartwarming Moment at the Village Chief's House

Lin Lanshan pursed her lips, then raised her head and said:

"Uncle Lin, you underestimate me too much. I'm very serious!"

I practice my kung fu diligently every day; when it comes to martial arts skills, even my sister might not be able to beat me!

Uncle Lin was amused. "You're even better than your sister? Looks like you've really been working hard these past two years."

But the wild beasts in the mountains are quite cunning, so you must not become arrogant and careless just because you are good at martial arts!

The two sisters and Uncle Lin sat in the main room chatting, talking about how the two sisters dug for wild vegetables, picked fruits, and hunted in the mountains...

They also talked about how his youngest son, Lin Zhengyong, had arranged a marriage with a girl from the next village and would be getting married next spring.

"You all have to come for a meal then. It's your brother's wedding, and as his sister, you can't miss it."

"Is Zhengyong getting married? Of course we'll come! We want to see our new sister-in-law too."

"It's quite a coincidence that Linlan's father was also a hunter, but Linlan is a bit introverted and shy."

"You two should get along well with her then, and don't be loud and scare her away."

Lin Lanshan said with a grin:

"No way, Uncle Lin. We'll definitely speak softly and gently, otherwise, if we scare away Zheng Yong's new wife, he'll be furious with us, hahaha..."

"Hahaha, you little rascal. You keep calling me 'wife,' aren't you ashamed?"

"Dad, what wife? What's wrong? I could hear you laughing like a mountain collapsing from far away in the house."

A young man who looked very much like Uncle Lin, around seventeen or eighteen years old, walked in.

"So it's the two of you. I was wondering who else could match my father's laughter..."

Uncle Lin kicked him, "How dare you talk about your father and your sister like that? You brat, you're almost married and you're still grinning like an idiot all day long."

Lin Chunyi joked:

"Brother Zhengyong, you can't afford to offend us now, or we'll get our revenge on you when you get married!"

"Once we've built a good relationship with our new sister-in-law, we'll complain to her and get her to deal with you."

Upon hearing that it concerned his future daughter-in-law, Lin Zhengyong immediately bowed and begged for mercy.

"Oh, little sister, you can't do that. I was just joking with you, after all, it's been so long since we last saw each other."

The main room was bustling with activity, and the earth-shattering laughter echoed far and wide...

In the evening, Lin Zhengmin also returned, greeting the two sisters with a simple smile.

These two brothers are practically Lin Youfu's dull version one and Lin Youfu's lively version two.

Dinner's ready!

On the table were braised fish, stir-fried bamboo shoots with cured pork, braised tofu, stir-fried eggs with chives, stir-fried greens, and a large bowl of steamed buns.

Uncle Lin picked up his chopsticks, and everyone started eating.

Aunt Zhang placed a piece of braised fish on each of the two sisters' plates, saying, "Try it and see if my cooking skills have deteriorated."

Lin Chunyi held a steamed bun in her left hand and used chopsticks in her right hand to pick up fish meat coated in sauce and put it into her mouth.

The fish was tender and delicate, without any muddy taste, and the sauce was perfectly seasoned.

"Auntie's braised fish is still so delicious, it tastes exactly the same as before, it's so good."

Lin Lanshan nodded in agreement and picked up a second piece of fish to show that it was really delicious.

Everyone else at the table burst out laughing.

Uncle Lin took a sip of wine and said:

"If you like it, eat more. Everyone who has tried your aunt's braised fish has said it's bad."

They chatted and laughed occasionally, and it took them about half an hour to finish the meal.

After dinner, the two sisters helped clear the dishes and utensils into the kitchen. After that, Aunt Yang wouldn't let them help anymore.

Lin Zhengmin suddenly felt a little embarrassed, yet also a little expectant, and asked:

"How are Xiaoyi and Lanshan doing with their martial arts now?"

Uncle Jiancheng taught me a lot before, but unfortunately I didn't have the talent, so I only learned a few tricks.

I'd like to ask if you could teach me again.

Lin Zhengmin has been very interested in martial arts since he was a child, but unfortunately, he is an honest and upright child.

But he's too honest; he's inflexible and can't adapt to anything. He'll stick to a few tricks for months.

Lin Zhengyong did have some talent, but unfortunately he lacked the patience to truly learn and absorbed it, working on it only sporadically.

Fu Ge had high hopes for the two brothers to master martial arts, but they both failed!

These were the words that Lin's father used to say to his two daughters in private complaints.

In particular, he hardly worries about his two daughters practicing martial arts.

So when teaching such an "honest" apprentice, I often feel frustrated and don't know what to do.

The two sisters recalled their father's previous comments about Zhengmin, and Lin Chunyi asked:

“Jungmin, how far have you gotten in your studies?”

Lin Zhengmin stood up and walked into the courtyard, saying:

"Can you guys help me take a look? I still don't understand this move. How is it done?"

"..."

Isn't this what they learned in the first few days after they arrived?

This... isn't this just a waist twist and side kick followed by...?

The two sisters suddenly felt a little dizzy, and they could understand why their father would complain every time he taught Zhengmin.

Aunt Zhang brought Xiaoman, who had just woken up, over and said:

"Zhengmin, Xiaoyi and the others have been running around the county all day. Let them get some rest, and we'll teach you again tomorrow."

Lin Zhengmin realized, "Right, right, I forgot. You guys get some rest first, we can teach you tomorrow."

Then everyone went to sleep, and Sister Yang led the two sisters to the guest room.

There was no one else in the room, so she sat down in a chair, eager to chat with the two sisters.

"Xiaoyi and Lanshan went to the county town today? Was it fun there? Did you see anything special? Tell your sister-in-law about it. I've never been to the county town before."

With her parents-in-law and children not around, Yang Huiyun was just a woman who had just turned eighteen.

She was also curious about many things and envied the freedom to do whatever she wanted.

Lin Lanshan's eyes darted around, and she said to Yang Huiyun:

"Sister-in-law, I have something interesting to tell you. But you can't tell Uncle Lin and Auntie, or even Brother Zhengmin! Otherwise, I won't tell you anymore."

Yang Huiyun thought that if she couldn't tell her in-laws, it must be something really interesting!

Incredibly curious, he leaned closer and whispered a promise:

"I'm afraid they'll find out, so I promise I won't tell anyone. I won't even tell Xiaoman!"

The two sisters laughed as they watched Yang Huiyun solemnly swear to the heavens.

"Stop laughing! Tell me quickly! I'm so curious, what is it?"

Lin Lanshan said mysteriously:

"Does your sister-in-law know about brothels?"

Yang Huiyun stood up, her eyes wide, and her voice suddenly rose, "You!"

Then, remembering that no one should hear, he lowered his voice and stammered:

"How could you two young ladies go to a brothel!"

Both of them shook their heads, and Lin Chunyi said helplessly:

"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about? What are we going there for? It's the biggest brothel we passed by on our way to the county town last time, the Pleasure Pavilion."

"Thank goodness you didn't go, I was terrified. And then, what happened next? You guys keep telling us."
