Xiao Ce, Lin Shuang and the others heard the discussions.
Xiao Yi's brows were furrowed, with anger on his face.
Lin Shuang felt that she didn't feel anything when they called her a stepmother, because she was one anyway.
But when she saw the look in those scholars' eyes, as if the stepmother was shameful, Lin Shuang felt a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Jingyu shouted loudly for his mother. "Mother!" He rushed into Lin Shuang's arms and hugged her.
He whispered in Lin Shuang's ear: "Mom, you will say that you are our real mother later. You are already in your 20s, but you look young. I don't want you to be wronged."
Lin Shuang looked at Xiao Jingyu in surprise. This kid had a sour nose.
Xiao Ce walked to Lin Shuang's side, "Dad and Mom."
There were people nearby watching the fun.
"Are you the mother of Xiao Ce and Xiao Jingyu?" Maybe she is just a fool, being used as a tool by others.
Lin Shuang looked at Xiao Jingyu's nervous and eager eyes and smiled.
"Yes, I am their mother."
"Madam is really young. She doesn't look very old, but she gave birth to such a big son."
"I'm already 24-5 years old, I just look young." Lin Shuang was not angry about this, and looked dignified and elegant.
"I see. Madam is so young. I am sorry for being rude."
Lin Shuang smiled and said, "It's okay. After all, looking young is also an advantage. I'll take it as a compliment."
Lin Shuang looked at the scholar in front of her with a smile, but in her heart she was saying, "Mmm!" Really, why bother to mind your own business? You really have nothing to do after eating.
His expression remained unchanged, but the scholar opposite him blushed and felt very embarrassed when he heard this.
After thinking for a moment, he bowed deeply and said, "Madam, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean anything else. I was just curious. Please don't mind my recklessness."
Lin Shuang suppressed her smile and said, "It's okay, but don't be so rude to others in the future, otherwise your teacher will be furious."
Lin Shuang didn't say anything. She just felt that as students in the academy, it would be fine for them to speculate and discuss other people's family affairs, but they actually went straight to the person in charge to ask for clarification. Lin Shuang felt that this was an act of disrespect.
Regardless of whether you are Zaizai’s stepmother or not, you should not make such bad assumptions. This is an insult to women.
"Yes, ma'am, what you said is exactly what I was thinking. I will definitely keep it in mind in the future."
Zhou Chuan felt very regretful. Why did he listen to those people? He really shouldn't have done that. The teacher usually didn't allow him to make malicious assumptions about others.
"I'm glad you understand. Xiao Ce, Jing Yu, Qi Yan, Shi Tou, let's go home." Lin Shuang didn't even look at Zhou Chuan, but turned to speak to the kids.
Xiao Yi glanced at Zhou Chuan coldly.
How dare you say bad things about Shuangshuang.
Zhou Chuan was frightened by Xiao Yi's eyes and thought that he might have misunderstood. He really didn't have any improper thoughts about his wife.
Xiao Yi glared at Zhou Chuan and followed Lin Shuang.
The group walked to the backyard of the store and got into the car.
Xiao Yi drove the carriage towards Qingshui Village.
Lin Shuang sat in the carriage with her eyes closed, not saying a word. The atmosphere in the carriage was depressing. The kids looked at each other, not daring to speak.
Xiao Jingyu felt that his mother must be secretly sad. She must feel uncomfortable when others said this to her.
He glanced at Xiao Ce, raised his eyebrows and gestured to look at Lin Shuang. Several children frowned, not knowing what to do.
Xiao Jingyu made up his mind and sat down next to Lin Shuang.
He gently shook Lin Shuang's arm and said, "Mom, please don't be sad, okay? You will be my real mother from now on."
Xiao Jingyu didn't know how to comfort Lin Shuang, but he really treated Lin Shuang as his own mother, and he didn't want to see Lin Shuang sad and cry.
Lin Shuang opened her eyes when she heard this, turned her head to look at Xiao Jingyu, and saw that Xiao Jingyu's face was full of fear.
I sighed in my heart, what should I do with this child?
He touched Xiao Jingyu's little face and said, "Why are you worrying so much? I won't be sad because of what irrelevant people say. It's just a name."
Lin Shuang was not really sad. It was none of her business what others said.
"Mom, can you tell others that you are our biological mother? Anyway, my biological mother is dead, and I don't have a mother anymore, so can you be my mother? As long as the villagers don't tell anyone, no one will know that you are my stepmother."
Tears welled up in Xiao Jingyu's eyes. His humble and sincere tone made Lin Shuang dazed. She curled her fingers and stared at Xiao Jingyu blankly.
"Okay, from now on I will be your biological mother. When we return to the capital, we will meet your biological mother again."
Lin Shuang gently wiped Xiao Jingyu's tears.
He held Xiao Jingyu in his arms and patted him gently. Xiao Jingyu fell asleep in this reassuring embrace.
Xiao Ce, Xiao Wangshu, and Xiao Nanxin all looked at Xiao Jingyu with envy, thinking that people who act like spoiled children really have the best life. Jingyu always acts like a spoiled child with his mother, and is always the first to occupy the seat next to his mother, and even the seat in her heart.
They are really envious and they also long for maternal love.
Qi Yan was a little anxious. He told Shi Tou such an important thing directly. Wasn't he afraid that Shi Tou would tell others?
Xiao Jingyu fell asleep directly in Lin Shuang's arms. Lin Shuang's hands were sore but she didn't let him go. They continued to walk all the way to Qingshui Village.
Only then did Lin Shuang wake Xiao Jingyu up.
"Jingyu, wake up, we are home."
Xiao Jingyu rubbed his sleepy eyes drowsily, "What, we're home?"
Xiao Jingyu felt that time passed so quickly. He had only been in his mother's arms for a short while, and he was already home. It was true that time passed too quickly. He really hoped that time would go slowly.
Xiao Jingyu left Lin Shuang's arms and walked into the yard with Xiao Ce and others.
Qi Yan hesitated and delayed until the last moment to leave.
Lin Shuang raised her eyebrows. This kid seemed to have something to tell me quietly.
Xiao Yi consciously led the carriage to the stable. At this time, only Lin Shuang and the young boy Qi Yan were left at the gate of the courtyard.
"Qi Yan, do you have something to say to your aunt?" Lin Shuang bent down and looked at Qi Yan.
"Yeah." Qi Yan nodded.
After taking a look at the kids in the yard, he looked at Lin Shuang and spoke softly.
"Aunt, did Shitou hear what Jingyu just said in the carriage? Isn't that bad?"
Qi Yan was worried that Shi Tou would accidentally tell others about this matter, and if rumors got out, it might be dangerous for them.
Lin Shuang understood in her heart that this child was really cautious. Lin Shuang was very satisfied. He must be very good to be Xiao Ce's right-hand man in the future. Such insight was very good.
"Don't worry, the village chief's family is different. They won't tell anyone. Even if they accidentally reveal Xiao Ce and his family's extraordinary life experience, it doesn't matter. I can protect them."
