The Lin family was not wealthy, and they had another scholar to support, so their days were naturally stretched thin. They finally managed to collect enough money to send their eldest son to Beijing to take the exam. They also encountered the difficult situation of their daughter disappearing and their mother being injured.
In order to treat his mother's illness and to find Lin Xiaomei's whereabouts, Lin Fengshi had spent all the money he had left.
It was natural to move.
After all...he can't afford a good house anymore.
The Lin family now lives in a slum alley. There is no courtyard, no gate, and only a small room. Her mother lives in the house, and Lin Fengshi sleeps in the kitchen. It can barely fit in, but when outsiders come, it becomes a little cramped. .
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Lin Fengshi's face, and he whispered: "The house is so simple, His Highness is laughing at it."
Yun Chuyao shook her head, put her arms around Lin Xiaomei's waist, and carried her into the house. As soon as she walked in, she felt the smell of medicine hit her nostrils, as if someone in the family had been ill for a long time!
Lin Xiaomei was slightly panicked, and there was a flash of uneasiness in her eyes, and she said anxiously: "Mom! Ah woo!"
"Crack!"
There was a sound of the medicine bowl breaking in the house!
"Ouch!" Someone came out with excitement and said repeatedly, "Ouch! Brother Lin, you are back. If you don't come back, I will die of panic. Your mother won't take medicine. Ah, it's been two days, I haven't taken any medicine or eaten. I had to kneel down to beg her, and she just took a sip of water. Isn't this an evil thing - ah! Why are there so many little girls here? !”
Lin Fengshi glanced at Lin Xiaomei, who was wearing a curtain hat, and a touch of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "This is my roommate and my roommate's friend."
"ah!"
The mother-in-law slapped her thigh and said in surprise: "This is your sister. This is the first time my old woman has seen her since you guys moved here! Let her take a good look at her!"
"Mother-in-law, my sister-in-law fell ill a few days ago. She can't see the wind and can't speak. When she gets better in a few days, I will take her over to see you," Lin Fengshi said warmly, "It was troublesome the past few days. My mother-in-law took care of it.”
"What's the trouble?"
The mother-in-law waved her hand: "We live next door to each other, and you gave me the money. What's the trouble for me? Come in quickly and see your mother. I'll go home first. No need to send it away. No need to send it away. Hurry up. Come inside!”
Lin Fengshi could only nod, then straightened his clothes and walked into the house.
"...Are you a good girl?"
In the room, a weak and trembling voice sounded.
"Ah! Ah!" Lin Xiaomei's eyes were red, her mouth was slightly open, struggling to speak out, but the wound on her tongue hurt so much that she trembled all over and her face was full of pain. She said sadly, "Ah mother!"
"Good girl! Good girl!"
Mother Lin burst into tears: "At the right moment, did you hear me wrong? I think you heard your sister's voice. Why didn't she speak?"
"mother……"
Lin Fengshi choked up and said, "Mom, you heard me right, she is my little sister, and she is back. It's just that she suffered a lot in the past few days. My little sister was also injured and can't speak for the time being. Mom, can you drink the medicine first?"
"You're back?" Mother Lin couldn't believe it, and the tears flowed even more fiercely, "Why don't you come in and see your mother when you're back?"
Miss Lin's face was also full of tears.
She was injured like this. If she really appeared in front of her mother, there was no guarantee that her mother would not be furious and hurt her body. But if she never appeared, her mother would be worried again. Xiaomei Lin hesitated for a moment, then limped to the room. door, then stopped and let out a whimper.
Little sister Lin is wearing a curtain hat, but what mother can't hear her child's voice?
Mother Lin's heart ached: "Good girl!"
"Mom," Lin Fengshi choked up, "My little sister is injured. Don't be too excited. When she is better, you can talk more and reminisce about old times, okay? Mom, you have to take medicine. Didn't you say you have to take care of her?" Little sister, do you want to watch my little sister get married? If you delay any longer, your body will be worn down."
Mother Lin wiped away tears. Her sweet girl was kidnapped under her nose. How could she still be in the mood to live? Naturally, he didn't want to eat or drink, and he wished he was dead.
These days, every time she thinks about her daughter, she bursts into tears and almost goes blind from crying. She wants to ask her daughter about the suffering she has suffered, but she dare not ask. She is afraid that she cannot accept the truth and will not be able to accept the truth. I'm afraid my daughter won't be able to think about it.
Just stay alive.
She persuaded herself that no matter what, as long as people were alive, there was still hope.
With this thought in mind, she no longer refused the soup and medicine Lin Fengshi handed over. She raised her head and drank a large bowl, choking and saying, "Mom, drink it, and we three will live a good life in the future."
As she said that, Mother Lin couldn't help but cast her eyes on her daughter. At this glance, she realized something was wrong. She couldn't help but glance behind Xiaomei Lin and saw Yun Chu, who only had half of her face exposed. Yao couldn't help but be stunned: "This is..."
"Mother," Lin Fengshi glanced at Yun Chuyao, with a flash of gratitude in his eyes, and said, "If it weren't for this girl, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape today."
Hearing that he did not reveal his identity, Yun Chuyao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them were reminiscing about old times, and his sudden appearance was already considered a disturbance. It would be too embarrassing for Mother Lin to drag her sick body to the ceremony.
It's better not to reveal your identity.
"ah!"
Mother Lin was stunned for a moment, but also looked grateful. She supported the bed and was about to get off the ground to salute. She choked and said: "Thank you girl for saving your life. I..."
"There is no need to be polite, madam!"
Yun Chuyao hurriedly helped her: "It's just a small effort. How can I bear such a big gift? Madam, it's better to rest quickly and recuperate!"
Mother Lin wiped away tears and nodded, the gratitude in her eyes almost overflowing.
Yun Chuyao helped Lin Xiaomei back home, which was considered a success. She didn't stay long before preparing to leave.
"A-are you leaving now?"
Mother Lin rubbed her hands and said hoarsely: "I originally wanted to make some delicious food for Chuyao, but my health is not up to par. I have been sick for a few days and can't get out of bed. It's really... but... It doesn’t matter, I’ll take good care of myself for two more days, and when I feel better, I’ll invite Chuyao over, and Chuyao will be rewarded by that time!”
"It's natural that I can't ask for it."
Yun Chuyao pursed her lips and smiled before preparing to say goodbye.
"ah!"
Seeing that the people were about to walk away, Lin Xiaomei suddenly came back to her senses, whined twice, then patted the bed anxiously, and urged: "Ah! Ah!"
Yun Chuyao was stunned: "Miss Lin, do you have something to say to me?"
"Ah!"
Lin Xiaomei gestured back and forth twice, the anxiety in her eyes became more obvious. She couldn't help but pointed towards Lin Fengshi's desk, and then made a gesture of writing.
"You want to tell me a secret, right?" Yun Chuyao paused for a moment before saying, "Mr. Lin, I need some pen and ink."
