If this wasn't mentioned, Madam Lin wouldn't be angry, but as soon as Lin Xiyao brought it up, Madam Lin's face darkened.
She thought that after Lin Xiyao talked to her that day, she wouldn't mention going to Han Family Academy again.
Unexpectedly, after spending only one day with me in Donghai Town, he kept saying he wanted to go to Han Family Academy.
This infuriated Madam Lin.
And yet, he still claims he has no feelings for Han Mingyue.
Therefore, for the past few days, Madam Lin has ordered Lin Xiyao not to leave the courtyard.
Because she was afraid of running into Han Mingyue, even Madam Lin from Gu Lili's family did not agree to let her go.
Unexpectedly, Han Mingyue came to our door today.
This infuriated Madam Lin.
If it weren't for Han Mingyue's elegant demeanor and refined speech, unlike his mother, Madam Lin would have kicked him out long ago.
Upon seeing Han Mingyue arrive, Madam Lin immediately ordered her men to lock up Lin Xiyao and personally received him.
It turned out that Lin Xiyao hadn't been to the academy for many days, and Han Mingyue was worried that something had happened to her.
After much thought, I decided to come and ask in person.
Although Lin Xiyao is sharp-tongued and carefree, she is still my classmate.
It's only right to care about your classmates.
Upon arriving at the Lin family home, they were informed by Madam Lin that Lin Xiyao would no longer be attending school.
That's why Gu Lili witnessed that scene.
The moment he heard that Lin Xiyao was no longer going to the academy, he thought of how Gu Lili's family had also refused his meals because they were too busy.
That means that the chance of seeing Lin Xiyao again is slim.
At the time, I didn't know why, but I felt depressed and weak all over.
Even when Gu Lili, whom he had confessed his feelings to, appeared in front of him, he couldn't muster any enthusiasm.
"How dare you say that! You're a girl, hanging out with a bunch of men in the academy. People will laugh at you if word gets out! Han Mingyue is an outsider. If we don't stop you, do you have to go and meet him yourself?" Madam Lin said irritably.
Since it concerned Lin Xiyao's reputation, it was not appropriate to say such things to Lin Xiyao alone, even if one was close to Gu Lili.
Gu Lili probably guessed what was going on, so she didn't ask any more questions.
They have to solve this themselves; I can't get involved.
Lin Xiyao pouted, her face full of resentment.
Just as Lin Xiyao was about to talk back, Gu Lili quickly stuffed a chestnut that had popped out during the stir-frying into Lin Xiyao's mouth.
This stopped Lin Xiyao from saying what she was about to say.
Madam Lin is in a bad mood right now. If Lin Xiyao dares to talk back again, Gu Lili thinks Madam Lin will definitely give her a good beating.
"Yaoyao, come and try these! These are chestnuts I picked up on the mountain today. Aren't they delicious?" Gu Lili said playfully.
Lin Xiyao's words were cut off by the sweet aroma of chestnuts, which successfully made her forget what she was about to say.
"Hmm... Lili, what is this? Chestnut? I don't think I've ever had it before, it's so delicious!" Lin Xiyao exclaimed as she chewed.
Gu Lili grabbed a handful and handed it to Madam Lin.
"Aunt Jin, you should try some too."
Madam Lin was naturally happy to have Gu Lili give her a way out, and she didn't want to lose face in front of her daughter's friend.
Therefore, when Gu Lili handed over the chestnuts, Madam Lin was grateful and secretly thought that if Lin Xiyao were half as sensible as Gu Lili.
Thinking it over, Mrs. Lin immediately picked one up and put it in her mouth.
Gu Lili hurriedly stopped him.
"Aunt Jin, you can't eat this with the outer shell on; you have to peel it off," Gu Lili said, picking one up to demonstrate.
Lin Xiyao had already finished eating hers, so she picked up one and started following Gu Lili's example.
As soon as the golden flesh was peeled, Lin Xiyao quickly fed it to Madam Lin.
"Mother, you must try it, it's really delicious!" Lin Xiyao said with a sweet smile.
Madam Lin glared at Lin Xiyao with annoyance, and Lin Xiyao just kept giggling.
Harmful!
Although my own silly girl isn't as sensible or carefree as Gu Lili, she's still a filial child.
Madam Lin's anger was completely dispelled by the sweet and glutinous taste of chestnuts in her mouth.
"Yes, it really is delicious!" Mrs. Lin praised as well.
She had been in Donghai Town for three days and had eaten many things she had never heard of before.
Every single one was delicious. No wonder Lin Xiyao kept writing letters home urging me to come to Donghai Town.
It seems I made the right choice coming here.
"Lili, did you pick this on the mountain? I want to go too!" Lin Xiyao said coquettishly.
Although Lin Xiyao was speaking to Gu Lili, her eyes glanced at Madam Lin.
Gu Lili looked at the quirky and clever Lin Xiyao and couldn't help but find it amusing.
However, it seems that she can't make the decision on this matter either.
If Madam Lin disagrees, it will be useless even if I nod.
Madam Lin glared at Lin Xiyao with annoyance and said, "If you want to go, of course you can!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyao jumped up happily and hugged Madam Lin.
"Mother, I knew you were the best!" Lin Xiyao said coquettishly, hugging Lin Xiyao's arm.
Although Madam Lin looked disgusted, she was secretly overjoyed.
Just as Lin Xiyao was still basking in the joy that Madam Lin had finally agreed to let her go out for a walk, Madam Lin poured cold water on her.
"However, you must listen to me. You will study with the female teacher every day, and every five days I will give you a day off. Then you can go up the mountain with Lili!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyao immediately deflated.
He looked to Gu Lili for help, but Gu Lili shrugged helplessly, indicating that she was also powerless to help.
Lin Xiyao had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Studying for five days and being able to go out and play for one day is better than being stuck at home all the time. She now regrets writing letters home and inviting Madam Lin to Donghai Town.
If Madam Lin didn't come, she could be free every day, going wherever she wanted, including the Han Family Academy.
But if Mother doesn't come, she won't be able to eat all this delicious food.
How could I think like that!
Lin Xiyao quickly shook her head, trying to stop herself from overthinking.
Seeing that nothing serious had happened at the Lin family's house and that the chestnuts had been delivered, Gu Lili chatted with the mother and daughter for a while before getting up to say goodbye.
When they got home, Grandma Li and Gu Chenxi stir-fried another pot of chestnuts.
It turns out that everyone had enjoyed the bowl of chestnuts they had just eaten.
Gu Lili simply had Gu Chenxi start the fire while she cooked everything herself, so that she could share some with the neighbors and they could also enjoy it.
Anyway, there aren't many left on that mountain.
