The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 233 "There are Vegetable Leaves"

"Qiu Lian came to my house to cause trouble again?" Although his friend didn't say it, Lin Shisheng could guess.

As her former son-in-law, Lin Shisheng knew perfectly well what kind of scoundrel the Qiu family was. Now that Qiu Lian was worthless, it was obvious to anyone that the Qiu family would treat her this way. Lin Shisheng naturally knew what she would do when she had nowhere else to turn.

“…You know that, right?” The young man scratched his head and grinned sheepishly. “I thought Big Egg and the others hadn’t told you. The one before you did come, but she just left not long ago. If you had come back a little earlier, you might have run into her.”

They're such bad friends, they didn't even try to hide their amused expressions.

Lin Shisheng: "..."

He remained silent.

The young man continued, "I don't know what she's trying to do. I arrived late, and when I got there, Aunt Lin had thrown her out. She was banging on your door, yelling that she wanted to see Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng, and even cursing them for being heartless, saying that they didn't even come out when their own mother came."

"Then, she was bullied by the aunties in the brigade." Thinking of the vicious and unpleasant words the aunties in the brigade said, he couldn't help but laugh, "You know how talkative those people are, one after another, they talked her until she couldn't even lift her head, and in a fit of anger, she ran away!"

Lin Shisheng could almost picture that scene.

"By the way, I came to see you because of something else, something I just heard about, and it's related to Xuanxuan's mother." The young man's eyes were full of excitement.

Seeing his childhood friend's strange reaction, Lin Shisheng's eyes lit up with curiosity.

"What's the matter?"

"That person was married off to a mountain dweller by the Qiu family." The young man didn't keep anyone in suspense, his face beaming with delight.

He knew that his brother had been living a stifling life after getting married, and that his spirits had been almost completely worn down over the past few years.

He was truly happy for Lin Er's divorce.

Look, he just got divorced, and all the good things are happening to him. He even got a job with the transport team! If you ask me, Qiu Lian is a vampire, she's really bad luck.

"Yamato?" Lin Shisheng was truly surprised.

Qiu Lian values ​​her maternal family more than her own family, but she is also wary of the Qiu family members. This can be seen from the fact that she knows about the secret hiding of the bride price. Not to mention, she has been married into the Lin family for many years and receives a few yuan every year when her work points are settled. Over the years, she has accumulated quite a lot.

If she had money, would she be happy to marry a Yamato member?
The mountain dwellers lived deep in the mountains, and to get to the county seat, they had to cross mountains and valleys. There were wolves on the way, so no one wanted to marry into their families.

Once, Qiu Lian learned that the girl she grew up with had been sold to a mountain family by her own father, and Qiu Lian even gloated, laughing and saying that the girl's life was ruined...

That vicious face was utterly repulsive.

What's going on? Has fate's boomerang landed right on my head?!

"After she left our brigade, she went home, and that mountain dweller was waiting at Qiu's house. As soon as he saw her, he carried her away."

"It's not that she didn't try to struggle, but it was no use."

The young man told Lin Shisheng everything he had found out.

Lin Shisheng understood.

...They've been sold.

"Which mountain dwelling are you from?" he asked.

The young man knew what Lin Er was worried about and said, "Don't worry, she won't be coming back."

"That remote corner is extremely far. Anyone unfamiliar with the area will be doomed if they try to get down the mountain. I think she'll be stuck in the mountains for the rest of her life!"

Since Lin Shisheng and Qiu Lian divorced, people who knew Lin Shisheng would always refer to Qiu Lian as "her" or "her," and occasionally call her "Xuanxuan's mother."

Lin Shisheng felt that Qiu Lian, who was so capable of causing trouble, must have a backup plan, but he didn't care.

As long as she doesn't bother them, she can do whatever she wants.

After finishing his conversation with his childhood friend, Lin Shisheng carried two bundles of firewood home.

After arriving home, I packed the things I had brought for my sister and nephews, and headed straight to the Fengshou Brigade.

The third branch of the Gu family.

yard.

The children were eating their meal, eating the meat in their bowls themselves, while giving the bones to Big Yellow Amber, who was wagging his tail around them.

When it got to eat the bone, its two tails wagged like propellers, just like a child, enjoying the day.

"Big Yellow, come here, there's a big bone!" Hengbao cheered and waved to Big Yellow.

Big Yellow obediently stepped forward and received a bone with a few bits of meat still attached.

It immediately became excited and began to feast.

Amber tried to snatch it again, but Song Yunjin grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, saying, "A puppy shouldn't be too greedy."

The puppy thought he was playing with it, so it whined, flapped its front paws, and its eyes were very bright.

Song Yunjin: "..."

Take amber with you to the border for education.

Lin Zhao: How childish!
Just then, Lin Shisheng pushed open the courtyard gate.

“They’re all eating!” he announced loudly.

Hearing the sound, Lin Zhao looked over in surprise and saw her second brother. She excitedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

"Second Brother, you're back!!" She looked at Lin Shisheng with delight, keenly noticing the fleeting stiffness in his eyes.

Lin Zhao withdrew her hand. "Your arm is injured?!"

She frowned, her tone very firm.

When Lin Shisheng arrived, he thought to himself, "We absolutely cannot expose this again."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he appeared, Zhao Zhao noticed that he was injured.

He looked slightly embarrassed.

"It's a minor injury, and it's almost completely healed."

Lin Zhao glared at him. "Whether it's a minor injury or not, I'll have Yun Jin take a look. I don't believe Second Brother for not telling the truth."

Song Yunjin smiled, holding her rice bowl, a smile that was particularly irritating.

Lin Shisheng's eyes were brooding. "You have vegetable leaves on your teeth."

Upon hearing this, Song Yunjin shut her mouth, glared at her cousin, and walked away heavily.

A smug look appeared on Lin Shisheng's face.

"..." Lin Zhao was speechless.

Two childish kids.

Thinking this, she still managed a slight smile.

My second brother is much more vibrant than before the divorce, and as his sister, I can only be happy.

Upon seeing their second uncle, the four children dropped their rice bowls and ran over.

Hengbao looked at the bundle Lin Shisheng was carrying and, indicating that she recognized it, asked directly, "Second Uncle, are these birthday presents for me and my brother?"

Lin Shisheng said, "Yes, and there are also gifts for my sister and Qianbao and Yaobao."

Upon hearing that the whole family would have it, Yu Bao's smile became even brighter.

"Thank you, Second Uncle."

Lin Shisheng patted his little head, "Don't be so polite."

Song Yunjin went to rinse his mouth, but couldn't spit out any vegetable leaves. He was puzzled, so he went over and looked in his sister's mirror. He was so angry that he turned into a pufferfish.

There are no vegetable leaves here, you're a liar.

He walked over angrily.

I overheard Lin Shisheng's conversation with the twins.

He rubbed his hands excitedly, "Are there any for me?"

Knowing that there's no such thing as a free lunch, Yun Jin said, "I still have half a piece of cake that my sister made."

Lin Zhao: "..."

Lin Shih-sheng: Yes.

We must have everything, even if we don't!
He had to eat the cake his sister made.

"Has Second Brother eaten yet?" Lin Zhao asked.

"I've already eaten," Lin Shisheng said with a smile. "Xuan made noodles for me, and even added an egg."

Lin Zhao wasn't surprised. Despite her young age, Xuanxuan's cooking skills were quite good. She had learned how to cook by watching her grandfather.

"Xuanxuan feels sorry for you," she said.

"Second brother, you've lost a lot of weight, your face is all sunken. It must be tough traveling in that car."

Lin Shisheng laughed, "Can suffering be worse than working in the fields? Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just the first time, and the place is remote. I'm not used to this, I'll get used to it."

This is true.

But then again, if it weren't dangerous, they wouldn't have called for an extra person to ride with them.

He made it just in time!

"It's good that you know what's going on," Lin Zhao said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but add, "No matter what you do, don't forget... you still have two young daughters, and they're waiting for you at home."

She was worried because her second brother hadn't returned for a long time. Lin Shisheng smiled, revealing a row of bright white teeth, "I know, brother."

After answering, he opened his bundle and took out his things.

Formula and animal crackers for the twins, a scarf and hat for the younger sister, and two little military caps for the twins...

"Here are your gifts, one for each of you. They're perfect for wearing now. What do you think? Aren't they great gifts?"

That's more than just good.

Yu Bao and Heng Bao stared intently at the little military cap, their gazes unable to be taken away.

"Second Uncle, how did you get it? I've always wanted a little military cap, and you gave it to us as a birthday present!!" Hengbao jumped up and down excitedly, saying all sorts of nice things. "Second Uncle, how are you so amazing? You must be the most amazing uncle in the world."

Lin Shisheng's lips curled up into an unbelievable smile as his nephew praised him.

Song Yunjin felt that this scene looked familiar.

Thinking about it carefully, he's usually fooled in the same way.

He lowered his eyes, looking at the twins' hair whorls with a complicated expression, his heart filled with indescribable turmoil.

Tsk.

Lin Shisheng didn't stay long; he rarely came back and had a lot to do.

After visiting my sister's family, I said goodbye and left.

Seeing that he was anxious, Lin Zhao did not stop him.

After everyone left, he realized he had forgotten to check his second brother's arm.

Never mind, he seems to be in good spirits, so it shouldn't be anything serious.

The children in the yard were filled with envy when they saw that the twins had received another birthday present—a military cap that even their fathers didn't have.

Despite this, the speed at which they ate did not slow down at all.

It's still the same old routine.

Even Gu's father couldn't help but laugh.

Yes, the Gu family elders are here too.

They were very tactful. When their daughter-in-law's second brother came over, they didn't ask any questions that would annoy anyone. They just greeted him and then consciously kept their presence to themselves.

“Twins, your military caps are so nice. Your uncle is so good to you,” Yuanbao said.

Tie Niu chimed in, “Yes, your eldest uncle is good, and your second uncle is good too. My uncle is good as well, but he’s poor. He doesn’t have money to buy me gloves or a hat, sigh.”

He's starting to dislike his own uncle.

Thinking about how his uncle helped him fight off the people who were bullying him, he thought, "His uncle may be poor, but he's really good when things get tough, right?"

Da Zhuang looked on with envy and urged, "Yu Bao, Heng Bao, you should wear them quickly, they'll definitely look super, super good."

The village children love to imitate the twins and they always have "super" on their lips, making them sound especially adorable.

The twins stopped studying the little red star, stood up straight, and put on their hats.

Chong Linzhao saluted.

"...Mom, how is it?" Yu Bao asked.

Lin Zhao nodded, "Very energetic, just like your father."

Yu Bao straightened his hat and smiled very happily.

Hengbao simply stopped taking it off and ate with the hat on, and even Dahuang, Hupo, and Xiaojin couldn't escape his showing off.

……

Lin Zhao has to go to work tomorrow, and the twins have to go to school, so they didn't stay that night and went back to the city after dinner.

Seeing that it was getting late, Gu's parents were worried and asked Gu Yuanshan to see them off.

It was a little past seven o'clock in the evening when I got back to my home in the city.

Lin Zhao then decided to rest.

It was the twins' first birthday, so a little trouble was fine. We won't do it again; it's too much of a hassle!
"Knock knock knock!" There was a sudden knock on the door.

Song Yunjin was bewildered. "Who could it be so late?"

He went to open the door.

Outside the door stood a short, stocky little boy.

"Are you knocking on the door?" Song Yunjin asked knowingly.

The little boy took a step back, tried to look up at him, and whispered, "My grandma asked me to come and tell you that there's a phone call for your house, but no one's home."

Telephone?!
Song Yunjin's mind raced. Realizing the caller might be her brother-in-law, she forgot to thank the child. She rushed into the house and said to Lin Zhao, "Sister, there's a phone call. I wonder if it's your brother-in-law?"

His voice was so loud that it startled the four cubs.

The twins' eyes were shining.

Yu Bao: "Mommy, is that Daddy?"

Hengbao's face fell. "We didn't receive it. It would be so much better if the brigade had a phone."

He quickly came up with an idea, grabbed Lin Zhao's hand, and shook it a few times. "Mom, shall we go call Dad back now?"

Lin Zhao looked at Song Yunjin, "Can you fight?"

She's never called this late before and isn't sure if she can get a call.

"No, it's impossible." Song Yunjin shook her head.

Left with no other option, Lin Zhao had to refuse the twins, saying, "The place where you make the call is closed. Try again tomorrow."

Although Yu Bao was a little disappointed, he knew there was nothing he could do about it, and looked at his mother pleadingly, "Shall we go earlier tomorrow?"

He couldn't wait to hear his father's voice.

"Okay," Lin Zhao said softly.

The twins couldn't wait for dawn to break.

Qianbao and Yaobao didn't cause any trouble. The former, with her personality, never makes a fuss, while the latter had long forgotten about her father...

The next day.

Lin Zhao had just opened her eyes when she heard a tentative knock on the door.

She quickly changed out of her pajamas, went to open the door, and saw two identical faces.

"Why did you get up so early?"

Yu Bao fiddled with her fingers, looking shy, and said without beating around the bush, "I want to call Daddy as soon as possible."

Hengbao held her younger siblings' hands and nodded vigorously.

Lin Zhao walked out, saying, "Wait for me a moment."

She tidied up a bit and took her four children to the post office to make a phone call.

Before long, I heard Gu Chenghuai's voice.

"Zhao Zhao?" A deep, steady male voice rang out.

"It's me. How did you get through so quickly?" Lin Zhao asked curiously.

You used to have to wait to get a call.

"Knowing you'd come back, I came early to wait for you." Gu Chenghuai's eyes were full of smiles. "We really have a tacit understanding."

Meng Jiusi, who was next to him, was speechless.

Hearing the man's words, Lin Zhao couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile. "What if I hadn't come?"

“If you don’t come, I’ll fight back,” Gu Chenghuai said.

"Mom, is that Dad? I want to say something, please say something to me," Hengbao said in a loud, urgent voice.

Lin Zhao said into the microphone, "Your son wants to talk to you."

After saying that, he handed the microphone to his son.

In an instant, the voice on the phone changed.

"dad!!"

Just by listening to his name, you can tell he's a lively and energetic kid.

Gu Chenghuai regretted not having said more to his wife, but he was quite happy to hear his son's words.

"Hengbao, it was your birthday yesterday. Dad wasn't here. You and your brother weren't angry, were you?"

Hengbao was a little angry, but after seeing his father's birthday present, he was no longer angry.

He said, "I didn't give birth."

"Dad, my brother and I saw the birthday presents you prepared for us, and we both love them!!"

Hengbao stood on the stool to speak, and Lin Zhao picked up Yubao so that he could listen along.

After his younger brother finished speaking, Yu Bao also said, "Dad, we're not angry."

She paused, then said, "Dad, we miss you. When are you coming back?"
