Chapter 6: Recognizing one's relatives is incredible. The one who has been pampered by the Marquis's Mansion for sixteen years...
When these words were spoken, the villagers who were watching the fun were all stunned and then began to murmur.
They thought it was Lin Yao sitting in the car, and that Lin Yao had come back to see Lin Lao Er and his wife after she had established herself in the Marquis' Mansion, but it turned out not to be the case?
Who's sitting in this car? It sounds like a young girl.
Zhou Ye didn't respond, but shouted into the courtyard, "Xiao Pu, it's me, open the door."
After a while, a thin little girl opened the gate, took a timid look at the crowd outside, and then quickly shrank back.
Zhou Ye entered the kitchen and used a gourd ladle to scoop up some mountain spring water from the small jar, gulping it down. Because he drank so quickly, a trickle of water snaked down his chin, reached his rolling Adam's apple, and fell into his bronzed, firm chest.
After he had drunk enough water, he slowly went to the cupboard to get a ceramic bowl without a chip, and filled half a bowl with water.
Zhou Ye brought the water to the carriage window. After a while, a hand as white as jade reached out and took the bowl from him. "Thank you, big brother."
Zhou Ye withdrew his hand, twisted his fingertips unconsciously, and then frowned again.
He had an absurd guess in his mind about the identity of the girl in the car.
Just as his thoughts were wandering, the sound of someone swallowing could be heard from inside the car. After swallowing, the owner said joyfully, "What sweet water! Mammy, don't you really want to try it?"
Someone snorted, "Drink as much as you want. You can drink every day from now on."
The empty bowl was handed out again by that hand, and the sleeve slipped down inadvertently, revealing a small part of the white wrist, which was whiter than snow and more delicate than solidified fat.
Zhou Ye's gaze seemed to be half burned, and he suddenly looked away, his brows furrowed even tighter.
His guess became more and more certain that the woman in the car might not be the real daughter of Uncle Lin and Aunt He.
But, what is she here for?
Lin Shu had actually wanted to get out and go into the house a long time ago, but when she heard her parents hadn't returned yet, she stayed in the car for the time being, lest she get out and stand there and be stared at by the villagers like a monkey. At this moment, just by listening to the noise outside through the curtain, she knew that there were at least two layers of people gathered around to watch the fun.
About a quarter of an hour later, the head of the Lin family finally came back.
Lin Dashan and his wife, He Guixiang, arrived one after another. Without waiting for them to catch their breath, Shi Qing said to them, "The young lady of the mansion asked me to tell you that she is doing well in the mansion. Please don't worry about her. This is the silver the young lady asked me to bring. I'm afraid she won't be able to return to fulfill her filial duties in the future. Take this silver."
There are ten silver ingots of ten taels each, a total of ten, totaling one hundred taels.
This is a huge sum of money even in the town, let alone the remote and poor Tianshui Village.
"Lin Lao Er has made a fortune! He has made a fortune!"
The onlookers exclaimed in surprise, and some shouted to the Lin family to accept it quickly.
The joy on He Guixiang's face had not yet fully blossomed before it faded away completely, and she looked distraught.
Is A Yao going to break off relations with her?
Lin Dashan's face darkened, and he stiffened his neck and refused, "We don't want this money, take it back!"
Shi Qing didn't try to persuade him and took the silver ingot back. "I've already said this. If you don't want the silver, then consider it as my hard work fee for this trip."
The villagers of Tianshui Village all beat their chests and stamped their feet, wishing they could rush over and slap Lin Dashan twice. "That's a hundred taels! Why are you betting like that?"
Lin Shu pricked up her ears and listened, feeling heartbroken. How could her father be such a fool? He didn't want to waste the money!
After making sure Shi Qing was done, Lin Shu couldn't wait to lift the curtain. As soon as she showed her head, the noise outside died down.
Lin Shu jumped out of the car, looked around, and finally landed on Lin Dashan and He Guixiang. She smiled shyly at them, looking well-behaved and sweet. "Dad, Mom, I'm Lin Shu, your biological daughter. I've told the Marquis and his wife that I'm coming back to show my filial respect to you. I won't be going back to the Marquis' Mansion."
After she said this, Lin Dashan and He Guixiang stared at her in shock, and Lin Yao was completely forgotten by them.
"Girl, who are you?" Lin Dashan asked tremblingly.
Lin Shu walked up to the stunned beautiful woman, took her arm with her in a familiar manner, and said to her father, "Dad, look, don't I look very much like my mother? Who do you think I am?"
Lin Dashan's dark face turned a little red, "You, you are..."
"I am your biological daughter! I have occupied Sister Yao's identity as the daughter of a marquis for fourteen years, and stayed in the mansion for two more years. Suddenly, I realized that the rich and glorious life is not mine if it is not meant for me. Staying there shamelessly will only cause trouble to others, so I came back to find my biological parents. Dad, Mom, you won't chase me away, right? If you don't want me, I will be a homeless poor little thing." As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
Before Lin Dashan could open his mouth, He Guixiang, who was almost in a daze, suddenly came to life, her face flushed with excitement. "Yes, of course! You are my biological daughter, and you will stay in Tianshui Village peacefully from now on!"
Lin Shu lightly brushed her index finger across the corner of her eye, holding back the tears that were about to fall. She leaned against her shoulder affectionately, "On the way there, I was worried that Mother wouldn't like me, which made me uneasy for a long time. But when I saw Mother's face just now, I felt particularly close to her. You can tell at a glance that you are my real mother. Mother, do you like me?"
"I like it, I like it!" He Guixiang replied happily.
"Dad, do you like me, your own daughter?" Lin Shu looked at Lin Dashan again.
Lin Dashan held it in for a long time but couldn't utter a single word, causing Lin Shu to chuckle, "Dad, don't say anymore. I know you like me. When I was in the Marquis' Mansion, no one disliked me."
Aunt Gui, who was sitting in the car and didn’t want to get off, said:… You are so shameless that you dare to make up such nonsense.
Before, Aunt Gui would have exposed her hypocrisy without hesitation, but now Aunt Gui was too lazy to care.
Well, the once arrogant daughter of a marquis can only live in such a poor and remote place for the rest of her life. For her, this is a great revenge.
It was said to be a great vengeance, but in fact it was not that serious. She was just unlucky. Her husband and only son died one after another. Later, she adopted a smart maid as her goddaughter in the mansion. As a result, the goddaughter was sold by Lin Shu for just a small mistake.
The goddaughter is indeed pitiful, but after all, she has no blood relationship with her, and she just can't swallow this humiliation.
Halfway there, Aunt Gui regretted her decision.
I had hoped to witness Lin Shu's miserable state upon returning to her shabby little village, but I hadn't expected her to gnaw on the dry rations she'd been eating along the way, even munching on them like a pig, and sleeping soundly on the hardwood bed until dawn. Returning to this shabby little village, she chirped with joy like a bird returning to the forest. On the other hand, her old body was exhausted from the long journey, and her bones were about to fall apart.
Thinking of having to go through this again, Nanny Gui almost vomited blood. She was out of her mind to have to ask Madam for this "favor"!
Seeing that Nanny Gui didn't object, Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief. "Nanny, Uncle Shi Qing, thank you for accompanying me all the way so I could meet my biological parents. From now on, I will be Lin Shu of Tianshui Village, and will no longer have anything to do with the Marquis' Mansion. Please convey a message for me: Thank you, Lord Marquis and his wife, for raising me all these years. I have no way to repay them, and I will only repay their kindness in my next life."
Shi Qing did not expose Lin Shu's trick, but he did not respond to her either. He only replied, "Take care, Miss." As for Aunt Gui, she didn't even get out of the car.
The two men drove the carriage and quickly left this poor place.
"Dad, Mom, let's go home and continue talking."
Lin Shu smiled shyly at the villagers. "My dear uncles, aunts, and sisters-in-law, we will spend a lot of time together in the future. I will chat with you again when I am familiar with the place."
The villagers who were watching the fun responded quickly, but were still reluctant to leave and looked at her in surprise.
It was not until the Lin family closed the gate that the villagers went back to their homes, and they were still discussing this matter on the way back.
Oh my God, oh my God, this is unbelievable!
Unexpectedly, Lin Yao didn’t come back, but the rich girl who had been pampered in the Marquis’ Mansion for sixteen years came back!
Although this is Lin Lao Er's biological daughter, she has been raised as a real daughter for more than ten years.
Even though he was not wearing silk or satin, but only a fine cloth dress, it was not difficult to see from his whole demeanor that he was the upbringing of a noble family!
That face is obviously 70% similar to Aunt He's, but it is even more beautiful and charming than Aunt He when she was young, so tender that it seems like water can be squeezed out of it!
