Back home, Lin Ying immediately started to complain, "Big Brother and Sister-in-law suggested going to the old house to celebrate New Year with Third Brother's family this year, but all the dishes they brought were vegetarian. They got scolded by Third Brother's family, and my mom wasn't happy either.
Big Brother probably came here wanting to buy a chicken, or maybe hoping I'd catch one for him for free. But since we weren't around, he went to Uncle Ma's place and bought a rooster, spending three yuan.
I heard my mom even scolded Uncle Ma for this, saying he was crazy for money. Uncle Ma sarcastically told her that if they couldn't afford chicken, they didn't have to eat it, that no one was forcing them. It was mutual consent in business, and there was so much fuss. If he'd known earlier, he wouldn't have sold it.
