Chapter 55 She Got Tricked
Lin Yunchu stopped under a large archway.
There are three big characters "Yanweikou" written on the archway.
This is where the original owner’s biological parents lived.
There are many tall white magnolia trees growing on both sides of the archway, providing shade and emitting a faint fragrance.
The road was paved with blue bricks and was not as muddy as she had imagined.
There are farmlands on both sides of the road.
This is a very unique seaside commune.
It is close to the sea outside and has farmlands inside. The fields are flat and neat, with the fragrance of rice flowers.
The sea breeze blew gently, and Lin Yunchu had a feeling that this place was not bad.
"Fellow villager, may I ask where is the Gu family of the commune?"
After searching for a long time on the road, Lin Yunchu still couldn't find his way home, so he simply asked people who were working on the roadside.
The man looked at her blankly and said, "You are the daughter of the Gu family, right?"
"..." Lin Yunchu was a little surprised. She really didn't say anything.
This person obviously had never seen her before, so how could he be so amazing and guess it so easily?
"Oh, so similar. You and your mother look so much like each other when they were young. However, your mother wasn't as pretty as you when she was young. Shh, don't tell your mother!"
The uncle who was speaking was in his forties. His face was dark from being blown by the sea breeze for a long time. When he smiled, his face was full of wrinkles. He was very humorous and witty.
His familiar way of speaking made her feel more at home.
It also made her feel like she was originally from this place.
"Oh, the old Gu family's daughter is back. What else can I do? I'll take you to find your mother!"
The uncle wiped his hands on his clothes, quickly climbed up the ridge of the field, rolled up his trouser legs, and took her home without even wearing shoes.
"Wu Weiyin, your beloved daughter is back!"
The uncle stopped under a mud-brick yard and yelled into the yard.
"Why!"
A middle-aged woman walked out of the yard. She was wearing a headscarf, had regular facial features, a high nose bridge, and beautiful eyes. Although there were some fine lines on her face, it was firm and round, giving people a very gentle and tough feeling.
When Lin Yunchu saw the woman clearly, he was stunned.
This person really looks very similar to her.
No wonder people here could recognize her at a glance when she walked on this street.
She is almost fifty years old, but she still has such temperament. She can't imagine how beautiful and dazzling she was when she was young.
"Yun Chu?"
"It's really Yun Chu!"
"My Yunchu is back."
"I'm your mother, my name is Wu Weiyin. Come, let me take you home."
Wu Weiyin had a smile on her face the whole time, but when she held Lin Yunchu's hand, tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.
She knew that her biological daughter was living very well in the city and was not having a bad time at all.
So she kept laughing.
But when her skin touched her child's, she couldn't bear it any longer.
This was the child she had carried for ten months, and she could have held her in her arms and raised her from the beginning.
This was the second time that Lin Yun had such close contact with someone after he transmigrated into the book.
The first time was with the Black Hawks.
The second time was Wu Weiyin.
Wang Xiujun raised her, but after she came through, she never got close to her from beginning to end.
Before she transmigrated into the book, she had no father or mother, and had no idea what it felt like to have her mother hold her hand.
Wu Weiyin's hands were covered with thick calluses that felt a bit rough. Her hands were clearly very solid, yet she could feel their softness, a solid, soft, and very reliable feeling.
When she saw her, she was surprised and excited, but more importantly, she was cautious and at a loss.

"Crackle, crackle..."
When Wu Weiyin pulled Lin Yunchu into the house, the sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out in the yard.
Then she was brought to the main hall by an elderly elder.
"Yun Chu, you are a child of the Gu family. This is your first time home, come and pay homage to the ancestors of the Gu family."
In front of the shrine, incense smoke rises and red candles are bright.
Lin Yunchu had never seen such a ceremony.
However, he also followed his elders and bowed and kowtowed obediently in front of the shrine in the main hall.
The elder nodded, then held a big rooster in his left hand and a kitchen knife in his right hand.
He chanted to the shrine, "Ancestors of the Gu family, this is your Gu family's child. She has been away for eighteen years and is back today. Her name is Yun Chu. I am offering her a rooster. You must bless her with good health and safety, and good luck."
After muttering, the elder cut the chicken's neck with a knife.
Most of the chicken blood is put into a bowl, and a small part is smeared on the shrine.
She had only seen these rituals in books and on television, and when she watched them, she felt that these rituals were meaningless.
When she was in this kind of ceremony, the only feeling she had was solemnity.
Very grand and formal.
Looking at the red candlelight and the curling smoke, the blood is connected.
Lin Yunchu was suddenly touched.
*
"This sister is so beautiful."
"Big eyes and a fair face. Her clothes look good, and she looks good when she smiles."
Many children suddenly gathered in the yard, like a group of birds, looking at her with clear eyes, curious and inquiring.
It was the first time that Lin Yunchu was surrounded by a group of children. Although their chattering was very noisy, she could feel their enthusiasm for her.
"Sister will treat you to candy."
Lin Yunchu took out the things that Li Ma gave her from the luggage bag she brought with her, grabbed a few handfuls of White Rabbit milk candies, and distributed one to each of the children present.
The children's eyes lit up instantly.
Wow!
White Rabbit Milk Candy!
Last time, someone in the neighboring commune had a birthday. When the candies were placed on the table, some White Rabbit milk candies were put on, but the quantity was very limited. Some people from the commune went out for a drink, and the children who got the White Rabbit milk candies kept showing off to them.
"Look, this is White Rabbit candy. It's a long-eared rabbit, so cute."
"Wow, this toffee is white, fragrant, sweet and delicious."
Everyone was drooling with greed and wanted to have a bite.
But the boy was so mean that he licked them in front of them and ran away immediately.
This made them even more greedy.
When I went back to my parents' home to buy White Rabbit candy, the adults immediately sold it to me, "White Rabbit candy, White Rabbit candy, you little rabbits, don't you know how expensive this candy is? We can't even afford a meal, and you still want to eat candy!"
They actually got to eat the White Rabbit milk candy that their parents were reluctant to give up at Gu's house.
This sister was so generous. After giving them White Rabbit milk candy, she also gave each of them a loose small-ear candy, which is a candy only available during the Chinese New Year.
Wu Weiyin stood aside and watched Lin Yunchu distribute candies, her eyes moistened again. Her daughter was so enthusiastic about the children in their team, she shouldn't hate their family, right?
Gu's eldest sister-in-law Luo Feifei and third sister-in-law Gu Qiuhong stood aside with their brows furrowed.
What Coco said was indeed right. Their sister-in-law was very loose-handed and didn't care about the family at all.
There are so many White Rabbit milk candies and sweets, just give them away.
Doesn't she know that she has several nephews at home?
Why not leave some for your nephews at home?
"Yun Chu, let me introduce you. You have three older brothers. Your eldest brother is Gu Jiacheng, who happened to be out to sea these days. This is your sister-in-law."
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Lin Yunchu looked at Luo Feifei, a short and fat girl in her thirties, and greeted her indifferently.
As soon as Luo Feifei entered the door, she noticed her indifference.
"Your second brother is Gu Jiashi. He is a soldier in the army and just came back yesterday. He is not married yet."
"You three Gu Jiapeng, just got married, this is your third sister-in-law."
"Hello, third sister-in-law." Lin Yunchu forced a smile and greeted Gu Qiuhong lightly.
Her third sister-in-law, like her eldest sister-in-law, did not welcome her.
She is as indifferent to people who don't welcome her as they are unwelcome.
"Hey, where's your second brother? Why doesn't this guy come out at such an important time?"
Wu Weiyin shouted into the house, "Jia Shi! Where are you?"
Gu Jiashi walked out from the kitchen. When he was about to turn the corner, he wiped his hair with water, even though he had a flat head. Then he straightened his clothes and walked out with big strides.
He wanted to walk in a sonorous and handsome manner, but he didn't see the small bench on the ground.
With a loud bang, he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, I have been in the army and have quick reactions.
The moment he stumbled, he quickly adjusted his posture and reversed the movement.
"..."Lin Yunchu, her second brother, is a bit conceited.
When she looked again, she was stunned.
Her second brother, who was a middle school student, turned out to be the man who had been staring at her on the train!
What kind of fate is this?
He acted so pretentiously on purpose. Could it be that he recognized her on the train?
Gu Jiashi wiped his nose in his heart, feeling quite embarrassed, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Girl, is it you?"
Lin Yunchu blinked and said, "Do you want to continue acting?"
"..." Gu Jiashi's expression froze in surprise. He had no idea how to respond. His sister was smarter than he thought.
The wheat-colored face suddenly turned red.
This time it was Lin Yunchu's turn to be surprised. How could her big, manly second brother be so shy?
"Your second brother said that he saw you on the train, but he didn't recognize you. Even though he didn't recognize you, he didn't hesitate at all when he came back. He asked us to prepare various things to welcome you in advance."
Wu Weiyin explained to Lin Yunchu with a smile.
"I'll go cook first." Gu Jiashi slipped away quickly.
Lin Yunchu couldn't help laughing.
Then Wu Weiyin took her into her room.
"There aren't many rooms at home. Can you sleep in the same room with me first?"
"Can."
Wu Weiyin's room was not very big. There was only a bed in it. Apart from two cabinets for food, there were no other furniture. But fortunately, it was very clean and tidy.
Lin Yunchu gave her all the things he brought from Yue City.
"..." Wu Weiyin was surprised and touched. Not only did this child not dislike their family, he also brought them so many gifts.
Gu Jiashi was busy in the kitchen alone, and soon he cooked a very sumptuous meal.
Not to mention anything else, that bowl of chicken is enough to make people drool.
Lin Yunchu sat down and had a delicious meal.
After dinner, Wu Weiyin asked her to have a good rest.
Lin Yunchu obeyed and did as she was told. Although the house was quite lively when she entered, she was actually not familiar with anyone in the house.
After staying in the house for a while, a group of chattering sounds suddenly came from outside.
"I heard that my sister-in-law is back, so I hurried over to see her."
"Aunt Wu, where is my sister-in-law?"
The two sisters-in-law of the Pei family asked with a smile.
Wu Weiyin was confused and walked out to ask, "What's going on? How could we have your brother's wife?"
"Aunt Wu, don't you know? Your daughter took the initiative to marry my third brother. My mother took your information to the army, and the army approved it. They even got the marriage certificate."
“…”
"They are all Gu family girls anyway, so we are not picky. Ke Ke is fine, and so is the girl who just came back!"
Wu Weiyin was shocked, "..."
Lin Yunchu understood what she had heard, she had been badly cheated!
