Chapter 342: Chapter 340: Defeated Two Older Brothers-1
Shitou, the thief spirit, saw that the Lin brothers were not easy to mess with, so he pretended not to understand. He didn’t respond even when they were almost twitching with frustration.

Su Hu and his wife, Grandma Liu, the three adults, sat at a table with a jug of wine on top.

Su Hu hummed a tune and sipped his wine, watching the children playing happily around the fire, feeling utmostly content.

When the mutton was roasted, Su Qingluo quickly sliced it along the bone into four pieces of varying sizes and passed them around.

The youngest children received the most tender lamb leg, and they were enjoying it so much, they had grease all over their faces.

Su Qingluo passed another lamb leg to Su Hu and his wife as a show of respect for her parents.

The couple happily accepted the lamb leg, their eyes brimming with adoration as they watched over their beloved daughter.

The five young lads got the most sumptuous lamb ribs. Each of them tore off a chunk of meat and ate with gusto, loudly praising Su Qingluo’s cooking skills as they did so.

Lin Jinxu and Lin Jinzhou ate their ribs with no thought for manners, cheerily gnawing on the bones.

Su Qingluo placed the best part of the lamb; the most crispy and flavorful meat from the head and neck on her own plate, happily sharing it with Su Zixuan.

The two siblings shared a love for gnawing bones and were not interested in large chunks of fatty meat.

“There are fish in the river. Let’s dive for them. Let’s see who can catch the most.”

After eating, the three Lin brothers began their banter again. Lin Jinyang, not one to back down, had a flash of inspiration. He jumped up and was the first to run towards the riverbank.

After spending a month and a half in the countryside and cavorting in the mountains and streams every day, his swimming skills had improved significantly.

Confident in his swimming abilities, he was determined to win against his two brothers.

In mid-August, the heat of summer was still intense. The river was cool and pleasant, and it was the perfect season for swimming and diving for fish.

“Catch away! I refuse to believe that I could lose to you.”

Although the Lin brothers were not great swimmers, with their deep internal skills, diving into the deep water to catch fish was a small matter. The two brothers refused to lag behind, and they both rose and ran towards the riverbank.

Wang Meng and Shitou, who were sweating from the heat of the fire, were also tempted to go into the river for a swim.

“Let’s go. We’re all going swimming.”

Seeing Wang Meng and Shitou’s interest, Su Qingluo also rose, stretching her limbs as she walked toward the riverbank.

“Yay, yay.”

The young children clapped their little hands and cheered, running to the riverbank ahead of the adults to splash in the shallow water on the sand.

“Doudou, Brother Meng, Shitou, keep an eye on your little brothers and sisters. It’s dark on the riverbank at night, don’t let them run too far.”

Li Xiu’e was worried and shouted out to the older children.

“Got it.”

As the oldest brother, Su Zixuan felt the responsibility to look after his younger siblings. He obediently ran towards the riverbank to keep an eye on them.

“Alright.”

Wang Meng and Shitou also chorused their agreement, and merrily followed behind.

“Sister, I also want to dive.”

The Little Prince waded in the water and got envious seeing Lin brothers diving. He ran over to his sister, wanting his sister to bring him into the deep water to play.

“You’re still too young. The river is too swift with hidden whirlpools, you can’t go.”

Su Qingluo didn’t hesitate to completely refuse.

“Sister.”

Little Prince persisted, eagerly shaking his sister’s arm.

“Good boy, listen to me, go play with Heidou and others. There will be river crabs at night, you can have a competition to see who can catch the most.”

Su Qingluo’s smile was radiant as she coaxed the young children.

“Wow, that’s a giant river crab.”

Heidou had already spotted a river crab and was excitedly cheering.
