Gu Xin watched as her mother took twelve eggs out of the locked box, without locking the box again.
Twelve eggs! All twelve eggs were put into the pot.
"Mom, are you not selling the eggs anymore?"
Gu Xin asked in a low voice.
She remembered seeing her cousins eating eggs when she saw her uncle's children eating them, and she wanted to eat some too, but when she got home she was beaten by her mother.
She vividly remembered what her parents said when they beat her together.
"Eat, eat, eat, what else do you know besides eating?"
"Eggs are so precious, how can you, you brat, eat such expensive things? Is it something you should be eating?"
"These are meant to be sold for money, there's no way we'd give you that many to eat!"
"You little brat, you dare to dream of eating eggs? I'll beat you to death!"
Of course, her parents beat and scolded her, and wouldn't let her eat eggs, so they themselves didn't have any to eat either.
But now, these precious eggs are being boiled like this. Does this mean their family is going to become rich and powerful?
Cai Xiaolian put the lid on the pot, turned around and said, "What did you say? Sorry, your voice was a little soft, I didn't hear you."
Gu Xin was startled again.
Her mother actually apologized to her?
Her mother smiled at her so gently.
She suspected that she had never recovered from her illness, but had died and gone to another place, and that the mother in front of her was just a figment of her imagination.
It must be.
"Er, Er Ya, what's wrong?"
Looking at the dazed little girl, Cai Xiaolian asked somewhat guiltily.
In her memory, this little girl was a bit silly and shouldn't have been so shrewd as to realize that she was no longer her mother!
She would believe it if the child's father and sister could tell.
"Mom, are we having eggs for lunch?"
Gu Xin mustered her courage, looked at Cai Xiaolian, and asked timidly.
"Well, it's almost noon, and I don't have time to cook. Let's have some boiled eggs to tide us over, and we'll make something else for dinner."
Cai Xiaolian said somewhat embarrassedly.
She wasn't too late; she simply didn't know how to do it.
She only knows how to cook with a rice cooker and a gas stove; she doesn't understand this earthen stove and big pot!
She thought she'd think about how to cook dinner in the afternoon. While the father and daughter hadn't noticed anything unusual about her these past few days, she'd first learn everything the original owner knew, since she had some of it in her memories!
That's right, Cai Xiaolian is not Gu Xinniang. She is a time traveler who died of terminal cancer and then traveled here. It took her three days to process the fact that she had traveled here.
Gu Xin still couldn't believe that her mother had cooked so many eggs, and stared blankly at Cai Xiaolian.
"Hey, Er Ya, go and call your dad and sister to get up, wash up, and get ready for dinner."
Cai Xiaolian felt a little uneasy under the child's gaze and wanted to send her away.
"oh."
Gu Xin responded blankly, then turned around and went to find her father and sister.
She wanted to see if her mother was a figment of her imagination, and if her father and sister had also become figments of her imagination.
"Father, Father, are you awake?"
Gu Xin arrived at Gu Shouxin's door, knocked twice, and called out.
"Awake? What is it?"
Gu Xin was so frightened that she took two steps back.
The voice is my father's, but the words he's saying don't sound like his!
When she used to call him "Dad," he would impatiently scold her, "You brat, what are you yelling for? If you yell again, I'll beat you to death."
Should she say something?
Gu Xin: I want to cry.
