At the same time, Lin Guohui and his family of five appeared at the entrance of the alley leading to Lin Yuezhen's house, carrying a package of sesame cakes.
Zhou Chunlan said to her three children, "When you see your aunt and uncle in a bit, I want you to cry your eyes out. Tell them the land is being allocated to households and our family has no money to buy a seed mixing tub or seeds. Pester them until they lend us some money."
The two younger children nodded repeatedly, while the eldest son looked curiously at the houses lining the alley.
Lin Guohui patted his eldest son, Lin Jianming, on the shoulder. "Your aunt dotes on you the most. She always treated you the best. As long as you beg her earnestly, she won't abandon us."
Zhou Chunlan scoffed, "She only treated our Jianming well because she thought she was barren. Now that she's got her own kid in her belly, you think things are still the same?"
Lin Jianming glanced up at her, then lowered his head and remained silent.
