Chapter 1642: Chapter 1642: Smashed Through

"Dad, what did you do to upset Mom?"

The younger brother entered from outside just in time to see his own mother angrily walking out, while inside the house, his dad looked utterly bewildered.

He asked.

"I have no idea, what’s with that look on her face after just a meal? She’s really..."

The man felt he was even more wronged than Dou E, where had he provoked her? Wasn’t this the way they had always spoken? He had never seen his wife get angry before.

"Dad, when I was coming over just now, I saw that young master cooking." The sister walked in from outside, a step behind her brother, and explained to the two.

"That young master was cooking?"

The man’s eyes flickered with surprise, then he asked.

"What about that young lady?"

He inquired.

"Didn’t see her."

The sister responded.

From the outside, one couldn’t see if anyone was in the kitchen under the stove, so naturally, she hadn’t seen Lin Caisang.

"Mom probably felt uncomfortable seeing that someone else’s man was cooking, while at our home, she makes the food every day and serves it up to you," the sister speculated.

She said.

The man: "..."

How many men in the world knew how to cook?

Even if you could find a few, which of them would actually be willing to cook for his wife?

People who doted on their wives as much as that young master were probably impossible to find a second of, was it worth getting so upset over?

"Tsk, really... that young lady has a good life, what does she have to be angry about?"

The sister looked up at her dad after hearing his words.

"I just went outside and saw that several houses had roof planks smashed open by hail and are now being replaced with new ones," she said.

If she hadn’t gone out, she certainly would have gone to the kitchen to cook with Mom, but today she had business to attend to, and that’s why Mom had to cook alone.

And that’s precisely what upset her.

"The roofs got smashed through again?"

Upon hearing this, the complexion of the man clearly darkened, his thoughts turning toward their own home’s roof.

"Later, after we eat, you take the two guests for a walk in the city, I’ll go get some wooden planks," he said.

He declared.

"I’ll go too!"

The younger brother stretched out his hand, volunteering.

However, his suggestion attracted two disapproving glances.

"You stay home, stay put, don’t go anywhere!" the sister glared at her brother and commanded.

And the man, he didn’t give his son a good look either, it was just short of patting his son on the head with his hand.

"The fact that Dad let you accompany your sister to the Wuzhu Teahouse is already very accommodating, and you still want to go cut trees? Don’t even think about it!"

Even though the place for cutting trees was outside the city, hail still fell there.

Though there would be less of it, what if he got hit by it?

"But Dad, can you bring back the wood by yourself if you go cut trees alone?" the younger brother asked, looking at his own father.

"You need both hands to carry an axe, do you also plan to grow two more hands to hold wooden planks to block the hail?"

He retorted to his own father, unless his dad had four hands, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t two people still need to go together?

"I’ll call your Second Uncle to go with me. His house will have to cut trees soon too; it’s better to get it done early and replace the planks earlier to prevent the roof from actually being smashed through!"

The man thought for a while, then said.

The younger brother: "..."

No matter how you put it, he still wasn’t allowed to go.

Well, if he couldn’t go, it was fine. He wasn’t keen on going out of the city every day anyway.
