Chapter 377: In Vain After All

Lin Mingyuan had just come back from the basement, and at Xu Xiangyang's reminder, his daughter frantically hid in the bushes nearby, narrowly avoiding being noticed.

When he returned, he carried a big bag from which he took out a clay jar filled with white liquor and several small dishes.

"Oh, did sister-in-law make these especially for you? Then I must give them a good try."

Hearing Meng Zheng say this, Lin Mingyuan smiled and shook his head.

"She doesn't have the time for that, just casually chopped some side dishes. She even complained to me, saying that I spend all day cooped up in the basement and never help take care of our daughter."

"Brother, do you not drink at home usually?"

"I don't. It's just my wife and kid at home, no one to drink with, drinking alone is too lonely."

"That's an offense to all the bachelors in the world like me, you know."

Meng Zheng took the clay jar and poured a small cup of liquor for both of them.
