Chapter 52: A Long Drought, a Blessing of Rain



"Aunt Li, Uncle De's leg is just as the doctor said. However, he can live with a wheelchair and crutches in the future. He can still go out and see other people and doesn't have to stay at home all the time."

"What is a wheelchair?" Li De's dead heart was recovering its vitality because of Lin Shuang's words, which were like a sweet rain.

Looking at Li De's eyes which were gradually lighting up, Lin Shuang slowly spoke.

"A wheelchair, as the name suggests, is a chair with wheels. It is mainly used to make it convenient for people with walking difficulties to travel freely on flat roads."

"Is there really such a chair?" Li Qiuping said excitedly.

He rushed in front of Lin Shuang, excitedly held Lin Shuang's hands with both hands, tears in his eyes.

"Yes, I can make this kind of chair. Once I make it, I'll let Uncle De try it out."

Lin Shuang patted Li Qiuping's hand to comfort her.

As expected, Li Qiuping nodded excitedly when she heard Lin Shuang's affirmative words.

"Auntie, I'll be leaving first. If you can't finish the bamboo tube, you can ask someone else for help."

Lin Shuang first found Aunt Li because good things should be given to people around her.

"Okay, Lin Shuang, don't worry. Just rest assured about these one hundred bamboo tubes."

Lin Shuang went straight home.

As soon as I got home, I saw several children playing games together, and laughter filled the entire yard.

Xiao Ce noticed Lin Shuang coming back with his sharp eyes.

He walked forward and said, "Stepmother, is there anything you need me to do?"

Lin Shuang touched Xiao Ce's head and said, "There is one thing indeed. Come with me to the carpenter's house in the village."

Feeling his stepmother's hand on his head, Xiao Ce did not move away, and even felt a little comfortable.

"good."

"Wangshu, Jingyu, Nanxin, Xiaoce and I are going out for a while. Don't run around at home. Shitou, you too."

Lin Shuang turned and looked at the children.

The children all nodded.

Xiao Jingyu ran over directly, "Mom, where are you going? Why are you taking my brother with you and not me? Don't you like me anymore?"

Xiao Jingyu was a little angry.

"How could that be? I'm here to do something. How about you go with me and let your brother play at home?"

Lin Shuang never knew that Xiao Jingyu's personality was so diverse. She hated him to death a few days ago, but now she wishes he could hang on her.

"Okay, take me there, big brother, you play at home." Xiao Jingyu was happy, showing his little teeth and clapping his hands.

Xiao Ce didn't care. His stepmother wouldn't run away anyway. She said she wouldn't leave for the time being.

"Okay, I'm at home."

"Yeah, Mom, let's go." Xiao Jingyu pulled Lin Shuang's hand and shook it, showing off how favored he was.

Shi Tou was really amazed at what was happening behind him. My good brother had changed. Why did he become so sticky?

Before leaving, Lin Shuang closed the gate of her yard and took Xiao Jingyu to the carpenter in the village.

"Uncle Li Sheng, I want to ask if you have a small table at home."

Lin Shuang spoke politely with a smile on her face.

"It's you, yes, look, it's right there." Li Sheng pointed to the small table beside him. There was a hint of indifference in his eyes.

What Lin Shuang did in the past was very unpleasant, but she distributed wild boar meat to the villagers. Now she has something to do in her business, so I definitely can't give her a cold shoulder.

He glanced at Lin Shuang, ignored her, and continued with the work at hand.

Lin Shuang naturally felt Li Sheng's displeasure, but she didn't mind.

Holding Xiao Jingyu's hand, he walked towards the small table next to him. After a careful look, he found it was still too big. What he wanted was a table that could hold the bamboo tube so that he could put his things on it while packing.

But although this table is a little smaller than an ordinary table, it is still too big.

He frowned slightly and shook his head, not very satisfied.

"Mom, is it not okay?" Xiao Jingyu asked worriedly when he saw that there was no joy or satisfaction on Lin Shuang's face.

"It's too big and hard to hold." Lin Shuang said softly.

Li Sheng naturally heard what the mother and daughter said, after all, they were in the same room.

He felt a little unhappy because he learned his skills from a master chef in the city, and no one in the village could match his skills.

Hearing Lin Shuang's shameless words, Li Sheng snorted.

"Uncle Li Sheng, I'll draw a picture. Can you make it for me? Don't worry, I won't give you any less money."

Lin Shuang's confident and determined look made Li Sheng waver. Could this vicious woman Lin Shuang really come up with a better idea?

The suspicion on her face was obvious, and Lin Shuang asked directly.

"Uncle Li Sheng, don't you believe me?"

"What do you think?" Li Sheng glanced at Lin Shuang and gave her a look so that you could understand it yourself.

"Grandpa Li Sheng, my mother will definitely do what she says. Just believe her this time." Xiao Jingyu looked at the two people who were on the verge of a fight, his eyes rolling around, and walked directly to Li Sheng's side.

"Jing Yu, why do you trust her so much? Let alone understanding how to make this table, can your mother even hold a pen and draw a picture?"

Seeing the soft and cute Xiao Jingyu, Li Sheng's attitude improved a lot. However, he still didn't quite trust Lin Shuang.

After all, Lin Shuang had previously given him the impression of being a shrew, vicious, and completely uneducated.

This couldn't help but make him suspicious.

"Grandpa Li Sheng, my mother is very nice. She can draw."

Xiao Jingyu didn't care about anything and just spoke well of Lin Shuang. This was the right way to go.

Li Sheng was a little surprised to hear these words coming from Xiao Jingyu's mouth. Moreover, Xiao Jingyu actually called Lin Shuang "mother".

This is really strange, when did their relationship become so good?

I can't figure it out, but it has nothing to do with me.

Lin Shuang watched Xiao Jingyu speaking well of her, feeling a little sweet in her heart and a smile on her face.

He walked over and touched Xiao Jingyu's head lovingly, "Uncle Li Sheng, my father used to be a scholar. I studied with him for several years and can write some common characters.

I want to make a small foldable table that I can take to town and start a small business to support my family."

When Li Sheng heard Lin Shuang say this, he was a little surprised. How could the daughter of a scholar be sold? However, the fact that she could draw was true.

Li Sheng glanced at Lin Shuang and said, "Okay, I'll get you some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."

Li Sheng had also been to the provincial capital and had more experience than the villagers. In Lin Shuang's case, it was obvious that she had been sold by her relatives.

Since he was able to learn from his scholar father for several years, it means that he was quite favored at home. Now that he has fallen to this state, I am afraid that there is no one left at home.

Thinking of this, even the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Shuang was filled with pity.

Lin Shuang looked at Uncle Li Sheng, who had changed so much, and pursed her lips.
