Chapter 27 She Lied Again
Lin Xiaoyue didn't believe her godfather's words when he said he had eaten. After all, she was a daughter in her previous life, and her parents always said they had eaten, but in fact they hadn't eaten at all!
She stood up and gave two bowls of chicken soup to Chen Maowu and Zhu Cuihua, and then served some to herself and Chen Yunyun. "I don't care if you guys have already eaten. I just like the atmosphere. I enjoy eating when we're together!"
Chen Maowu was moved by Lin Xiaoyue's words. He took a large piece of chicken from his bowl and put it into Lin Xiaoyue's bowl. "Yueyue is a filial child! But you young people are in the period of growth, so you must eat more."
This time, Lin Xiaoyue didn't refuse. She picked up the chicken, took a bite, and said with a smile, "Well, the chicken cooked by godfather is really delicious. It's not dry at all, and the soup is very fresh! Teach me next time, so I can make it myself when I want to eat it."
Chen Maowu glared at her in dissatisfaction, saying: "What are you doing? If you want to eat, just stay here. Don't be in a hurry to leave."
Lin Xiaoyue also wants to live there, but this is not a long-term solution, and she has already promised to pick up Chen Yunyun in a while, so she has to find a home for herself first!
"Godfather, I know you're all good to me, but this time I really have something going on at home, and I have to go back in a hurry. Anyway, I've already promised Yunyun that I'll pick her up to play with me later, so I will definitely come back!"
Chen Maowu could understand that if a girl stayed away from home all the time, her family would be worried.
He took out four pieces of silver from his pocket and stuffed them into Lin Xiaoyue's hand. "Yueyue, we don't know what your parents like to eat. It's not convenient for you to carry the food on the road. Take this money and buy something for your parents when you get home."
Lin Xiaoyue recognized these silver coins; they were the ones she had given to Chen Yunyun! She had never expected her godfather to find such an excuse to return them to her, but she would never accept them!
"Godfather, my parents died early, and I can't buy anything for them even if you give me the money. But I appreciate your kindness, and you can keep the money. I still have some money on me, so don't worry about me."
Chen Maowu felt very sad when he heard the news. How could such a smart and well-behaved girl have such a miserable life?
"Well... since your parents are gone, you should stay here. If you go back, you'll be alone and have no one to help you with anything."
Lin Xiaoyue feels that lying is really a technical job. Once a lie is told, countless lies are needed to cover it up!
It’s especially difficult in front of people who are nice to you!
"I have a brother. I was originally visiting relatives in the north, but I received a letter from my brother asking me to go back early, so I decided to go back first."
Chen Maowu looked at the silver coins in his hand, gritted his teeth, took out another one from his pocket, and stuffed them all into Lin Xiaoyue's hands, "Yueyue, listen to your godfather, take this money. If you lose your parents and don't have money to rely on, you will be very miserable!"
Lin Xiaoyue's tears instantly broke out. She really didn't expect that she would meet such a kind family after traveling through time. Her godfather would rather be tight on money than let her live in grievance!
She suddenly felt a little disgusted with the lies she had told. She had said so many things, but in the end her godfather took out a coin. Where had her usual eloquence gone?
Taking a deep breath, she placed the silver coins on the table, then reached into her sleeve. A handful of silver coins flew out of space and landed in her hand. "Godfather, look, I really do have some money! So keep this money for yourself. If I really run into trouble in the future, I'll ask you for help."
Chen Maowu couldn't argue with Lin Xiaoyue, so he had to pick up the silver coins and said, "You're too stubborn, kid. Drink your chicken soup quickly. Don't even think about going home today if you don't finish this pot!"
Lin Xiaoyue chuckled. She knew that her godfather and the others were reluctant to let her go. Although she was reluctant too, wasn't a temporary separation for a better reunion?
She picked up the spoon and started eating.
After lunch, Chen Yunyun helped her mother wash the dishes in the kitchen. Because Lin Xiaoyue was unwilling to accept the payment, Chen Maowu planned to go out and buy some food for her to eat on the way.
All of a sudden, Lin Xiaoyue became the most idle person in the family.
She walked around the house, and when no one was looking she quickly went to the chicken area outside the house.
There were two extra chickens in the space package before, and she kept them selfishly. The Chen family was so good to her, they would definitely not accept them if she offered more money, so she wanted to leave these two chickens to them.
In order to prevent the two chickens from running around and being discovered by the Chen family, she blindfolded the two chickens with cloth, then tied the chickens' feet and wings, and carefully placed them at the innermost part of the chicken coop.
Once she left, the Chen family would find out and have no choice but to accept it. At worst, she could just drink two more bowls of chicken soup next time she came back and try to make her godfather and godmother happy!
Just as she stood up after putting the chickens away, she heard a voice behind her that almost scared her to death, "Sister Lin, the chicken coop is so dirty, what are you doing there?"
Lin Xiaoyue bent down and touched the hen distributed by the county government, and said with a wry smile, "You don't let me do anything, I'm so bored, so I came out to play with the chickens."
After hearing this, Chen Yunyun glared at her with amusement, "Sister Lin, are you trying to stuff money in there? If you did, take it away quickly, and don't let my parents scold me."
Lin Xiaoyue's heart tightened. She decided to quickly take Yunyun away, otherwise she would be discovered if she stayed any longer!
She let go of the chicken, walked over to Chen Yunyun, and took out the handful of silver coins she had just given. "Count them, is there a piece missing?"
Chen Yunyun lowered her head and dialed the number, then shook her head and said, "It seems about the same."
Lin Xiaoyue smiled secretly and hid the silver. She took Chen Yunyun's hand and walked into the house. "I have to leave soon. Come and talk to me."
When Chen Yunyun heard that Lin Xiaoyue was leaving, her eyes watered as if she was about to cry at any moment. She sniffed and walked to the dressing table, pulling out a purse from the drawer. "Sister Lin, I don't have anything valuable. This is a purse I embroidered myself. I hope you don't mind."
Embroidery is extremely unfamiliar to Lin Xiaoyue, who comes from a modern soul. Not to mention embroidery, she even sewed her own buttons when they fell off. In the past, she just threw them to her assistant.
She took the purse with a smile and looked at it carefully. The stitches of the purse were fine and dense, and the pattern on it was a rabbit and petals scattered on the ground. The rabbit looked clever and cute, and the petals were either fully stretched out, or curled up, or with the back facing up and showing a light pink, and there were also stamens blown away. It was really vivid and lifelike.
If she were to embroider this, she felt that there would be no chance for her in this life unless she was reborn!
"Nonsense, I don't even know how to do this. How could I dislike your embroidery when it's so good?"
Chen Yunyun thought she had misheard and asked in disbelief, "Sister Lin, you're so smart, how could you not be able to embroider a purse? We girls will all embroider our own wedding dresses in the future! How about I teach you?"
Lin Xiaoyue touched her purse and couldn't help thinking, women in ancient times were really troublesome, but could she really learn how to do that?
