Chapter 226 Good

Chapter 226 Good

Lin Yao and Lin Xi’s hometown is in the neighboring Fujian Province.

The specific location is a remote town.

Lin Yao’s childhood memories are preserved, but because she was from Yuecheng in her previous life, she is not very familiar with this place. The only thing that impressed her most was the town where she lived as a child.

But it is no problem to buy two tickets. As

soon as Lin Yao returned home, Lin Xi rushed back, and the two went to the airport together.

It can be seen that she was really anxious.

"Are you okay?"

In the cabin.

Lin Yao looked at Lin Xi, who looked haggard, and asked softly.

Along the way.

Lin Xi held her hand, but did not speak, and kept his eyes closed to rest.

Arriving at the airport, they hurried to board the plane.

Lin Yao only found an opportunity at this time to ask a question.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

Lin Xi turned around and showed a forced smile: "I was just thinking about Linmu Financial Holdings. You don't have to worry about him... He actually called me yesterday and said that he was fine. Just take it as self-cultivation and he will be out in a few years."

"I'm not worried about him."

Lin Yao looked at the haggard Lin Xi, a little helpless.

Lin Xi pursed her lips, shook her head, and then gently leaned her head on Lin Yao's shoulder.

"... You should have a good rest first."

Seeing this situation, Lin Yao could only adjust her posture and move towards her so that she could lean on her more comfortably.

Lin Xi closed her eyes, held Lin Yao's hand tightly with both hands, and closed her eyes.

More than an hour later.

The two got off the plane in Changle.

Lin Xi's mental state finally improved a little.

The two sisters changed to a car arranged by a subsidiary of Linmu Financial Holdings. After another hour, they

finally returned to the town with deep memories.

Lin Yao's hometown is a remote town, not a town of earthen buildings, nor a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. There is no gracefulness of small bridges and flowing water, nor the grandeur of gardens all over the ground.

It's very ordinary.

There are no old buildings.

There is only one bus station in the whole town, and it even retains the habit of going to the market. There is a big market every three days. It is far from the city and not close to the sea.

The only advantage is probably that the infrastructure is good, the pace is slow, and it is suitable for retirement.

Lin Yao's home is not in the town, but in Changzai Village, which is some distance away from the town.

That is where the Lin family has lived for generations.

After Lin Bing became rich, although he did not stay in his hometown most of the time, he still spent money to build a big villa near the village where his ancestors lived.

There is Lin Bing's idea of ​​returning home

in glory. There is also the simple idea that since Lin Yao's grandmother and grandfather have made a fortune, they must let everyone know.

In addition to building a house for his own family, Lin Bing has also done a lot for the town where he has lived since he was a child.

Road construction, school construction, student aid, infrastructure construction, support for the elderly, reconstruction of ancestral halls, etc.

So the Lin family has a good reputation.

Of course, this was in the past.

I don't know what it is like now. After all, there are simple people and sinister people in small places.

Lin Xi saw the familiar town, and her haggard white face finally had some brilliance. She frequently looked out the car window at the familiar scene outside, and her beautiful eyes were slightly bright.

When they were young, Lin Bing wanted his two daughters to go out to study.

But the grandma and grandpa who didn't want to go to the city and didn't want to miss their granddaughters disagreed. In the end, Lin Bing had no choice but to let Lin Yao and Lin Xi finish elementary school in their hometown.

Lin Xi and Lin Yao can be said to have spent their childhood here.

The car drove forward all the way.

Finally, we arrived at Changzai Village where the Lin family lived.

The village is not big.

It is probably the size of a large community.

And the Lin family is also easy to find. It is at the back of the village with a yard, and the area is outrageous. The three-story building is...

"..."

The driver drove to the gate of the courtyard, and then couldn't help shaking his head gently, secretly clicking his tongue.

Because when he came here, he felt that the style of painting had changed.

Through the entrance of the courtyard, you can see that there is a large pond in the courtyard, which is really outrageous.

But Lin Xi couldn't care about the driver anymore.

Because he had made a phone call.

There was an old man at the gate of the courtyard who had been looking forward to it.

Lin Xi opened the door and ran out of the car.

Lin Yao smiled at the driver, told him to find a place to stay in the town, and got out of the car.

The old lady standing at the gate of the courtyard had silver hair, but her waist was straight, without any of the old age that ordinary old ladies exude.

She was not kind, but serious, without a smile on her face, and she didn't look like the kind of person who was easy to talk to.

In fact.

The old lady of the Lin family has a reputation in the village that children are afraid of ghosts.

Children avoid her when they see her.

Many elderly people of her generation are also afraid of her, because this old lady was very difficult to talk to when she married in when she was young, and she was famous for being fierce in the village.

However.

This is facing outsiders.

"Grandma."

Lin Xi got out of the car, immediately walked quickly to the old woman, and called softly.

The old lady with a somewhat mean face smiled when she saw Lin Xi. Her wrinkles seemed to stretch out in an instant, and her eyes narrowed into crescents: "Hey... I'm back, I'm glad you're back."

"Grandma."

Lin Yao got off the car and came to Lin Xi's side, with her hands behind her back, and smiled brightly at the old lady.

"Hey..."

The old lady responded again, then stretched out her skinny hand, grabbed the hands of her two granddaughters, and pulled them inside: "Quick, quick, I made lunch. Didn't you eat in the car? Are you hungry? That unfilial son, he did something wrong, but made his two granddaughters worry about me, an old lady, and ran back from afar. It's really a sin..."

Lin Xi was pulled and explained softly: "...I'm not hungry, grandma, don't worry."

The old lady stopped and turned around: "How can I not be hungry! Look at your sister, Xiaoyao, staring at the lychee tree at the door and drooling."

Lin Yao: "..."

In fact, she was not hungry either.

She wasn't drooling at the lychee tree.

It was just that the most profound thing in her memory suddenly appeared in front of her, and she was a little dazed and couldn't help but look around.

In fact, after she crossed over, she

had been influenced by the memory, but at the same time, because of the memory of her past life, she had a faint sense of strangeness.

But now that she was back in her hometown, the most profound memory was activated, and the faint sense of strangeness gradually dissipated.

She looked at the familiar scenery. Suddenly, she had the same feeling as Lin Xi.

This feeling seemed a little strange under Lin Yao's memory of her past life.

There was some conflict.

But it felt good.

"...I'm hungry, grandma. I also remembered that when I was a child, my sister and I secretly climbed the tree to pick lychees. Now I want to eat a little bit."

Lin Yao noticed Lin Xi's gaze, and while agreeing with the old man, she stretched out her free left hand and gently held Lin Xi's hand, smiling like a flower.

Lin Xi pursed her lips, looked at the smile on her sister's face, and finally a smile from the heart appeared on her fair face.

"There are some inside, there are some inside... I was almost scared to death by you two when I was a kid. What if it breaks?"

The old lady seemed a little dazed when she heard Lin Yao's words. After a while, she continued to pull the two sisters through the yard and into the house.

The old lady kept chattering.

Behind her,

the two granddaughters she was holding each other's hands.

It formed a quiet and beautiful picture.

...

The old lady learned that the two granddaughters were back. She

specially prepared a large table of dishes.

But she didn't eat it herself. After pulling the two sisters to sit down, she sat next to the two sisters and started to pick up dishes for them.

The dishes in Lin Yao and Lin Xi's bowls piled up higher and higher, and finally Lin Xi said that she really couldn't eat anymore.

Only then did she give up.

"Grandma."

Lin Xi chewed slowly, and the joy of returning to her hometown and seeing her grandmother gradually faded, and the reality of the problem surfaced.

She looked up at the old lady in front of her who was almost 80 years old, suddenly put down her chopsticks, and asked softly: "Are you okay?"

Hearing this, Lin Yao also put down her chopsticks and looked up at the old woman.

"I'm fine. What could possibly happen to me? Don't stop eating."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand, signaling the two sisters to continue eating, and looked at the two sisters with expectant eyes.

Lin Yao and Lin Xi had no choice but to pick up their chopsticks again.

"... Your father was poor when he was young, and he was afraid of being poor, so he always had ambitions and wanted to make money."

The old lady saw her two granddaughters pick up their chopsticks again, nodded with satisfaction, then sighed softly, and rubbed her two granddaughters' heads: "But he was so young, how could he make money? He could only take crooked ways. By then he was older and stronger, and my words were useless... In the end, he still took the crooked path."

Lin Yao paused slightly.

She looked up at the old lady again.

The old lady met Lin Yao's gaze, smiled, picked up another piece of food for her, then shook her head gently and continued:

"But God is watching what people do, and some things must be repaid, and it’s better to have retribution in this life or the next. He should be happy that it didn’t come to his two daughters."

"He has made money in the past few years and done some good things for the town, but I have never been able to sleep well, because as his mother, I know best that my son has done bad things in the past."

"Now that such a thing has happened, my heart is at ease. I asked your Uncle Zhang, and he will be able to come out in four or five years at most. For four or five years, I will still be strong and can wait. I can wait for him to reform and come out to live with us!"

"So you two, don't worry about grandma, grandma is fine, and even very happy."

"..."

Lin Xi fell silent, and looked at the old man's face carefully, as if wanting to know if what she said was true.

The old lady patted the back of her hand gently and shook her head: "Xiaoxi, grandma is really fine. But you, your father is in prison now, there is no tiger in the mountain, those ungrateful wolves may use some dirty tricks, you are a girl, if it really doesn't work, just come back. Your father also said that now you have earned enough money from material things, and unnecessary things can be thrown away. Grandma doesn't understand business, but grandma doesn't want you to work too hard, a little stability is a blessing."

"..." Lin Xi pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Xiaoyao."

The old lady glanced at Lin Xi's expression and knew what the granddaughter she raised was thinking. She didn't persuade her, but turned to look at Lin Yao.

"Grandma." Lin Yao responded.

"You too, your father said you are amazing, but I don't understand what games are, but I know that you don't have to work too hard."

"Hey."

Lin Yao responded obediently.

...

In the evening.

After eating a meal that was not sure whether it was lunch or dinner at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

The old lady made another extremely sumptuous dinner.

Then.

The old lady kept picking up dishes for the two sisters...

until the two sisters repeatedly said that they could not eat anymore, and then she stopped.

During this time.

Lin Yao and Lin Xi also carefully observed the old lady and found that she was indeed fine, so they were completely relieved.

At nine o'clock in the evening.

After sitting and chatting with the two sisters for more than three hours.

The old lady was a little sleepy, and Lin Yao immediately coaxed and persuaded her to go to bed.

When she came out of the old lady's room, she found that Lin Xi was no longer in the living room.

Lin Yao walked around.

Finally, she found her by the pond in the yard.

Lin Xi sat on the stone bench next to the pond, raised her snow-white chin, and looked up at the brilliant starry sky above her head.

"Sister, I thought you were gone."

Lin Yao sat down beside her and also looked up at the gorgeous starry sky above her head.

The starry sky in the countryside is indeed brighter than that in the city.

Looking at the stars above, even the noisy chirping of insects around became pleasant to the ear.

"I just suddenly thought of the memories of watching the moon here with you when I was a child, and then imagined someone jumping down from the sky, and then came out to take a look."

Lin Xi lowered her head, looked at the girl next to her who was bathed in the moonlight, as if emitting a faint glow, and smiled softly.

"Now I think about it, I feel so stupid at that time. But it was also very beautiful, carefree." Lin Yao leaned towards her and leaned against her shoulder.

"Yeah."

"How are you? Are you really okay?"

Lin Yao turned around, looked at Lin Xi's fair face, and suddenly said: "I want to hear the truth, sister. Can't sisters tell each other?"

"..."

Lin Xi also turned around, and the two looked at each other.

Looking at Lin Yao's clear and bright beautiful eyes.

Lin Xi pursed her lips, then suddenly turned sideways, fell forward, and rested her forehead on Lin Yao's shoulder. At the same time, she stretched out her hand and gently embraced Lin Yao's slender waist: "Not good... He suddenly said that he was taken away, and a group of directors and executives were taken away. Now Linmu Financial Holdings is in a mess, everyone is arguing and arguing, each with their own thoughts... I'm not good."

"..."

Lin Yao also turned sideways, gently embraced her waist, and patted her back.

"But I think the worst thing is that he was taken away. Why would someone like him, such an amazing person, be taken away..."

Lin Xi slowly exerted force and hugged Lin Yao tightly: "I asked Uncle Zhang, he said it was to clear the gray of Linmu Financial Holdings, but I don't understand why he has to go in to clear the gray, or I understand, but I can't accept it... In fact, I'm quite scared now, Xiaoyao, it's embarrassing, right?"

She slowly raised her head from Lin Yao's shoulder, her beautiful eyes with a faint mist.

This is the fragility in her heart.

Lin Yao looked at her sister whose beautiful eyes were slightly misty. After a moment of silence, she said softly: "Don't be embarrassed in front of me, do you remember? When we went out to visit friends on the night of the Spring Festival when we were young, I had to pull your clothes before I dared to go. At that time , I was also afraid, afraid of the dark, but as long as you were in front of me, I would not be afraid.

So let's change now. If it really doesn't work, you can pull my clothes. I'm not afraid this time, sister."

"...You are obviously the younger sister."

Lin Yao's words touched the softest place in Lin Xi's heart. She thought of her childhood memories, and suddenly leaned forward and gently rested her forehead on Lin Yao's forehead.

"What's wrong, sister?"

Lin Yao felt the warm breath of Lin Xi's speech, and couldn't help but gently rub her forehead, then hugged her waist tightly, bringing the two of them closer: "But now I have a problem, Dad is gone, why don't we forget about Lin Mu Financial Holdings? Sister... let's do online games together? Just now, grandma also said that Lin Mu Financial Holdings is now in a state of panic, and there may be some trouble. I don't want you to work so hard."

"No, that's his stuff."

Lin Xi slowly raised her head, looked at Lin Yao's touching face, shook her head gently, and said gently but firmly: "And I'm much better now, just a short period of weakness, don't underestimate my sister."

"... Do you really want to save Lin Mu Financial Holdings?" Lin Yao looked at Lin Xi who suddenly pretended to be strong.

"Well... that's his stuff."

"Okay."

Lin Yao didn't say anything, just whispered a word, and then whispered: "Then I'll help you."

Lin Xi: "..."
