Chapter 20 I hope you can give me some trust



"I will make up for the damage I have caused you in the days to come, but I hope you can give me some trust."

Xiao Ce felt ashamed after hearing Lin Shuang's previous words. Wasn't this just an apology for his third brother?

After hearing the last sentence, Xiao Ce suddenly raised his head and saw the sincerity in his stepmother's eyes.

He thought, maybe, we can really give her a little trust.

"Take it. I won't go. I'm a little tired." Lin Shuang felt that he had experienced so many things in one day and really wanted to cover himself with the quilt and have a good sleep.

"Okay, stepmother, you can rest first."

Xiao Ce closed the door sensibly, stood at the door for a while, then took the rice given by Lin Shuang to the kitchen to cook some porridge.

I grabbed a handful of rice, washed it clean, and put it in the pot to boil.

After cooking, let it cool down and serve it to Xiao Yi.

After feeding a bowl of thin porridge, wash the bowl with some water.

Lin Shuang lay on the bed, looking at the moon outside the window, missing her parents a little. Looking at the bright moonlight, the longing in her heart and the grievance of coming to another world mixed together, and tears fell down unknowingly.

The system looked at Lin Shuang quietly. Although he did not understand human emotions, Lin Shuang's sadness at this moment was obvious.

[Tasker, as long as you complete the task, you can return to the place you care about. ]

"Thank you, I'm just venting my feelings. When the sun rises tomorrow, I'll be my energetic self again. You don't have to worry about me."

Lin Shuang knew that the system was comforting her.

"I'm glad you understand."

I suddenly smelled the odor on my body and felt quite uncomfortable. I had planned to take a shower after dinner, but I didn't expect something like this to happen.

Since it was still early and I couldn't sleep, I just got out of bed.

He opened the door and walked towards the kitchen step by step with a kerosene lamp in his hand.

He opened the kitchen door and gently placed the kerosene lamp on the table beside him.

I started to light a fire to boil water, and with the flames on the stove, my mind slowly emptied and I held my chin.

In the woodshed, Xiao Ce saw a little light coming from the kitchen. After thinking for a while, he got up, put on his shoes, closed the door, and went to the kitchen.

This is the scene I saw as soon as I came in. My stepmother was sitting at the stove, and the steam from the pot began to rise slowly. The dim light shone into the room, and I couldn't see clearly.

Hearing the sound at the door, Lin Shuang came back to her senses and saw Xiao Ce standing at the door. He stopped there and did not move forward.

"Why are you here?" Lin Shuang broke the silence.

Xiao Ce walked in slowly, "Stepmother, I saw some light in the kitchen, so I wanted to come over and take a look."

"Oh, I'm boiling some water for you to take a shower. Have you taken a shower yet? If not, boil some more water."

"I washed it. My younger sister and I wiped his face and feet with cold water. Wangshu's condition was unstable, so he went to sleep."

"You go to sleep, I can do it on my own here."

Xiao Ce lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and turned around to walk back.

The water in the pot was bubbling. Lin Shuang looked at the firewood in the stove and ignored it.

He scooped up some hot water, added some cold water, and carried it back to his room.

The kerosene lamp flickered with every step he took.

As soon as I carried the bucket in, Xiao Ce came over.

"Stepmother, these are the clothes you asked me to get this morning."

Lin Shuang took a closer look and saw that the fabric of the clothes was quite different from the one Xiao Ce was wearing.

Lin Shuang took it and smiled, "Xiao Ce, go back to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow morning to sell meat."

"Um."

Seeing Xiao Ce return to the woodshed and close the door, Lin Shuang took the kerosene lamp and walked to the cool cellar where the pork was stored. She put all the pork into the cellar to prevent it from spoiling if kept for too long.

When I got back to the room, I took out the shower gel and started taking a shower.

"Ugh, what's that smell?"

Lin Shuang rubbed the dirt off her body, and strips of dirt came off, accompanied by a foul smell. She washed her face at the same time. Not long after, the fragrance of shower gel filled the whole room.

The dirt on Lin Shuang's body was completely washed off. She wiped her body clean and changed into clean clothes.

It's summer time and you still have to put on layers of clothes left and right. It's really annoying.

The underwear was just a piece of fabric from a bellyband and had no support at all. Lin Shuang opened the system mall to see if there was any underwear that could be exchanged.

"How do I use the system?"

"Just tell me which one you want to buy, but you need points to buy these."

"How many points do I have?"

"You get 100 points to start with. You bought a detoxification pill and owe 400 points. The one you like costs 30 points."

"Then give me some more points on credit. I'm already in arrears anyway."

"Well, all right then."

"I want two and two pairs of underwear. How many points in total?"

Lin Shuang picked out a few pieces she liked.

"120 points, a total of 520 points owed."

After a while, the underwear was in Lin Shuang's hands.

"Should I wash this before I wear it?"

[No, our system products are all sterilized and absolutely safe. Please feel free to use them.]

"That's good. This saves me the trouble. By the way, I want to ask one thing. Didn't Xiao Yi take the detoxification pill? Why is there no reaction yet?"

[Because it only partially removes the poison. The most important thing is the Resurrection Pill.]

"I see. How many points can I redeem for this Resurrection Pill?"

[This cannot be redeemed with points. You can only get it by letting the four cubs go through the story.

You can only get this by completing a quest, but don't worry, his life is not in danger for the time being.

"System, you really know how to control me." Lin Shuang smiled sarcastically.

[As long as you understand, Tasker, please change your clothes first. I will withdraw.]

"Tsk, you're just feeling guilty." After complaining, Lin Shuang began to change his clothes and lay down on the bed. Not long after, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and he had a good dream all night long.

Lin Shuang wanted to sleep for a while, but the diligent system was not so easy to deal with.

[Tasker, hurry up and get up, it's already dawn.] The system kept beeping in Lin Shuang's mind, like an alarm clock urging her to die.

"What are you doing? Let me sleep a little longer." Lin Shuang was grumpy when she woke up, and usually stayed in bed for a while. She opened her mouth unhappily, and frowned, as if someone owed her eight million.

[Wake up! Didn't you say you were going to sell meat today? It's already daybreak.]

"It's really annoying." Lin Shuang slowly climbed down from the bed with her tired body.

After getting dressed and opening the door, I saw the kids working in the yard.

Xiao Ce, Xiao Wangshu, and Xiao Nanxin immediately raised their heads when they heard the voice.
