"Mom, I'm fine with anything I eat."
Lin Chaobei responded with a reply, and then asked:
"Mother, what did you do in town today?"
This is what Lin Chaobei is most curious about.
"I was just feeling bored staying at home, so I wanted to go out for a walk. I ended up in town and went in for a stroll."
As for going to the county town, she couldn't possibly tell anyone. Anyway, she deliberately made herself look even uglier back then, sticking several moles the size of peanuts on her face. She believed that even those people who had met her before would definitely not recognize her if they stood in front of her now.
"Oh, has Mother had lunch yet?"
Lin Chaobei asked again.
"No, I'm not hungry."
Yue Jiuyue said she hadn't eaten and wasn't hungry because of her persona; she definitely wouldn't spend several coins to buy food in town.
It's a lie that she didn't eat; it's a fact that she wasn't hungry. How could she possibly mistreat herself? It's not like she didn't have the means.
Of course, she couldn't bear to eat too well, because it would taste bad, and what if she got fat and pale?
"Then we should hurry home; my sister-in-law has probably already prepared dinner."
Lin Chaobei urged them on, and the three of them quickened their pace.
Although it's not dark yet, the sun has already set. Normally, people would have already eaten dinner by now, since no one wants to waste lamp oil.
After returning home, Yue Jiuyue explained it to Lin Chaodong again. After dinner, she washed up quickly and went to bed.
She was too tired today.

"Grandpa Chief! Grandpa Chief! Please go and see! There's water in South Lake now!"
A little boy, about seven or eight years old, ran barefoot to the clan chief's house, excitedly shouting.
"What? Nanhu Lake has water? Is that true?"
The village chief's wife didn't believe it.
The weather is so dry these days; it hasn't rained for two years. Last winter, there wasn't even a single snowflake. They've dug up Nanhu Lake completely, and the bottom is just dry mud. How could there suddenly be water?
"Auntie, I'm not lying! There really is water in Nanhu Lake now. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself!"
The little boy hated it when adults talked like that, as if children could only lie. He immediately retorted and ran into the house to find the clan chief, ignoring the village chief's wife.
The village chief's wife wasn't angry. That's how kids are; if you don't say something that resonates with them, they get upset and ignore you.
But will there really be water in Nanhu Lake?
She thought it was a fantasy.
"Grandpa Chief, I'm telling the truth! There really is water in Nanhu Lake now! Look, there's still water on my toes!"
The little boy lifted his toes, proudly showing them off.
The next second, the little boy's eyes welled up with tears.
"Grandpa Chief, I really didn't lie to you! I really went to the lake to play in the water, but I don't know why the water on my feet is gone! Wow!"
The little boy's evidence disappeared, and he immediately burst into tears, feeling wronged.
With no evidence of him playing in the water, the clan elder will definitely not believe him anymore, and will probably think he is lying, just like the village chief's aunt.
"Stop howling, come on, let's take Grandpa to see a doctor."
The clan chief patted the little boy's head and said kindly and gently.
If you listen carefully, you can even hear a hint of laughter in it.
The little boy was so happy that the clan chief believed him that he immediately grabbed the clan chief's hand and started walking outside.
"Really? Grandpa Chief, you believe me? Come on, come on, I'll take you to see for yourself. I really didn't lie!"
