Chapter 31 Picking Lin Xiaonuan up from school and taking her out to eat
As Lin Muyan improved, viewers in the live chat began to worry for Shen Jiaojiao.
Lin Muyan couldn't help but smile after seeing the comments.
She didn't know if Shen Jiaojiao would realize the apocalypse was coming in advance, but she knew that it was absolutely impossible for Shen Jiaojiao to get the golden shovel back.
This wooden shovel was originally her childhood toy. The comments saying it belonged to Shen Jiaojiao are utter nonsense.
Now that she understands the importance of this shovel, she is even less likely to give it to Shen Jiaojiao.
After carefully storing the golden shovel into her spatial storage, Lin Muyan began to store all the goods into her space.
She ordered a total of thirty tall shelves, dividing them into sections to store various daily necessities. Items that were not suitable for being placed on the shelves were temporarily piled up in the corner.
After all that, Lin Muyan was exhausted, especially her mind, which felt foggy and dizzy.
Because the actions of transferring supplies into the space and planning the placement of items all depend on her mental power.
After all that, she was mentally exhausted and felt extremely dizzy.
After resting for a while, Lin Muyan recovered and was about to return to the Lin family when her father called.
"Mu Yan, there's something going on at home right now, and your mom and I can't leave. If it's convenient, could you help pick Xiao Nuan up from school?"
Lin Muyan noticed that her father's voice was terribly hoarse, and there was some harsh static in the background of the phone call. She frowned and said:
"What happened at home? Should I go home and see if I can help?"
Lin's father quickly refused.
"No need, no need, your mom and I can handle it. Your older brother has to work overtime, so we won't bother him. If you can, could you pick up Xiaonuan? Your mom doesn't have time to prepare dinner, so you can take Xiaonuan out to eat."
Lin Jianbin hung up the phone immediately after speaking, as if afraid that Lin Muyan would ask any more questions.
Soon, her father sent her an address containing Xiaonuan's school and class information, and then transferred 500 yuan to Lin Muyan, after which he heard nothing more.
Lin Muyan did not accept her father's transfer; she still had enough money for her next meal at a restaurant.
Seeing that it was almost five o'clock, and since elementary school lets out early, Lin Muyan decided to listen to her father and go to pick Xiaonuan up from school so as not to make Xiaonuan wait too long and get anxious.
She can't get involved in her biological parents' affairs for the time being.
After spending the last few days together, Lin Muyan had basically figured out the situation at home.
My parents are honest and kind people who never make enemies.
My mother seemed to be in poor health; I often saw her massaging her lower back, and she always smelled of ointment.
My father looked for work everywhere, but every time he came home he would take over the work from my mother. He was a man who loved his wife very much. However, my father was an orphan since childhood and had no one to help him get married and start a career. He only learned the skill of building houses and could barely make a living in S City.
Life at home was tough, but it was very warm and loving. The parents were kind and the children were well-behaved.
She was relatively at ease with her biological parents' way of handling things.
After locking the warehouse, Lin Muyan hurriedly drove to Lin Xiaonuan's school.
Lin Xiaonuan was overjoyed to find that her older sister was the one picking her up from school today, and she couldn't help but recommend it to her classmates and teachers.
"Look, that's my sister! My sister has come to pick me up!"
Lin Xiaonuan rushed towards Lin Muyan, her joy causing Lin Muyan to momentarily lose her composure.
Is this little guy so happy to see her picking him up from school?
That's true. When Shen Jiaojiao was her older sister, she not only didn't love her, but also took away all of their parents' love. They always made sure Shen Jiaojiao had the best of everything, from food and clothing to other necessities.
Lin Xiaonuan definitely wouldn't like Shen Jiaojiao.
In comparison, Lin Muyan, the "new older sister," is much better.
Over the past few days, Lin Muyan and Lin Xiaonuan have been sharing a room. After the lights are turned off at night, Xiaonuan would chatter away and whisper secrets to Lin Muyan.
If she couldn't do a problem, her older sister would teach her; if there was a piece of meat left on the table, her sister would let her have it; and after school, she would often get snacks that her sister bought for her. Of course, she loved it.
Lin Xiaonuan quickly hugged Lin Muyan's leg, raising her little face and smiling happily.
"Sister, what brings you here to pick me up today?"
Lin Muyan couldn't resist reaching out and pinching Lin Xiaonuan's upturned nose.
"Mom and Dad are both busy, and my older brother has to work overtime, so I'm the only one who's free to pick you up. Come on, let's go out to eat."
"That's wonderful! I wish my sister would pick me up every day!"
At this moment, Lin Xiaonuan's classmates also gathered around, staring at Lin Muyan with curiosity.
"Wow, Xiao Nuan, your sister is so beautiful, just like a big star."
Lin Xiaonuan visibly became proud, "Of course, look who her sister is!"
After leading Lin Xiaonuan into the car, Lin Muyan started the car and drove towards the city. Since they were going out to eat, she naturally wanted to treat her little sister to something good.
"Sis, why are you driving a truck? This truck is not suitable for you at all. I'll ask Mom and Dad and my older brother to make money quickly and get you a nicer one right away."
Lin Xiaonuan spoke without thinking, and also felt a little sorry for her second sister.
Although she was young, she was not naive. Her second sister had been living a good life in a wealthy family, but was suddenly kicked out and came to their family. The psychological gap must have been huge.
The second sister, however, behaved very gracefully and calmly, which was why she liked her.
Second Sister didn't mind that her family was poor. She had eaten delicacies, but she could also endure hardship. She never complained about others, unlike that Shen Jiaojiao, who had the body of a young lady but the life of a maid. She was always complaining about this and that, relying on others to give her a good life, and never thought about changing her unsatisfactory life on her own.
You know what, this little thing is actually quite endearing, and not so annoying after all.
[And they didn't mind that Lin Muyan drove such a beat-up car to pick her up; some kids are just too vain.]
[Just because she doesn't like Jiaojiao, I don't think highly of her. Even if, as the Lin family says, Jiaojiao has some psychological problems, shouldn't they cherish her even more? Why are they slandering her?]
[Exactly! Jiaojiao is the best. If she hadn't been switched at birth, would she have gotten that disease? It's all the fault of the people who switched the baby and the Lin family.]
Lin Muyan was about to drive, so she couldn't read all the comments above her head, but she still saw them talking about Shen Jiaojiao, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Strong people never complain about their environment, and clearly, Shen Jiaojiao is not a strong person.
If she is truly dissatisfied with her current life, she should work hard and find ways to change the status quo, instead of constantly complaining and blaming herself for her bad background.
Even elementary school students understand this principle, but Shen Jiaojiao doesn't. I really don't know how these viewers became fans of her.
