The aroma of the chicken and duck broth simmering inside the house was particularly rich, causing the children playing by the door to sniff repeatedly, unable to resist.
Lin Xiuqing was not stingy at all—today she cooked not only chicken but also duck.
She took two large bowls, one filled with chicken soup, the other with duck soup, and asked Ye Yaodong to deliver them next door, letting them choose whether they wanted chicken or duck.
Inside each bowl, there were several chunks of meat.
There was no way they could eat their fill, but at least they could savor a taste.
Upon learning there was some set aside for them, the children cheered joyfully.
Sister-in-law Ye and the second sister-in-law from the Ye family both took their bowls with big smiles.
The three brothers lived close by, frequently coming and going, helping one another.
Only through this mutual support could their relationships remain harmonious.
Generally speaking, as long as the sisters-in-law got along well, the relationships between the brothers wouldn’t be too bad—especially since Ye Eldest Brother and Ye Second Brother were straightforward and honest men.
After delivering the bowls to the neighbors, Ye Yaodong brought the empty bowls back to Lin Xiuqing so she could fill two more — these he took to the old family home.
