"Knock knock knock!"
"Daughter, are you awake yet?"
"Your mom made your favorite fried dumplings this morning, and the bananas you brought back yesterday. She even made you a few banana buns separately!"
Early in the morning, Old Man Lin knocked on Lin Xue's door.
Aside from when the original owner was in elementary school, when Old Man Lin was keen to knock on her door, this was the first time in her entire life that this had happened.
"Dad, wait a minute, I'm up!"
Lin Xue rubbed her eyes, then stretched and slowly got out of bed.
I cast a cleansing spell on myself, and then I felt a jolt of energy and I was wide awake!
"Squeak~"
"Mom, why are you up so early to cook?"
Lin Xue moved closer to the eldest son of the Lin family and glanced at the time displayed on his watch.
It's only 5:30 in the morning, why are you up so early?
His older brother doesn't have to go to work this early.
"Daughter, this is what I asked your mother to cook for you earlier. After we eat, I'll take you for a walk around our village!"
"It just so happens that your grandparents haven't seen you for six or seven years. Now that we're back, we should go and visit them!"
Lin Xue held a pan-fried bun in one hand and a bowl of porridge in the other, staring blankly at Old Man Lin.
When the original owner of this body wanted to go back to the village to take a look, her father tried his best to stop her.
Why are we so eager to take her back to the village this time?
You should know that back in the village, the original owner of this body was a fearsome figure!
Not to mention her own grandparents, even the uncles and aunts in the village would avoid her from a distance.
It can be said that everyone in Linwei Village, from 80-year-old grandpas and grandmas to seven- or eight-year-old toddlers, would instinctively avoid her when they saw her.
As for why the age limit is only seven or eight, why is that?
Because she hadn't returned to Linwei Village for the past six or seven years, the children under the age of seven hadn't yet been harmed by the original owner.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and eat!"
"Your mother only made four or five banana buns in total. If you don't eat them, there won't be any left for you when the second son comes back!"
Seeing his daughter staring blankly at him without eating, Old Man Lin glared at her with a hint of disappointment.
Then he brought the small dish containing the banana buns directly to Lin Xue, as if to say that he would fight anyone who dared to take it from his daughter.
"Father, can't I eat it either?"
Seeing the old man's cub-like behavior, Boss Lin was somewhat surprised.
He tentatively asked a question, only to receive a glare from Old Man Lin.
"Eat, eat, eat! Why are you fighting with your sister for those two banana buns instead of eating these perfectly browned pan-fried buns?"
"Does a real man also enjoy the sweet talk of a little girl?"
Old Man Lin really disliked Boss Lin. Didn't you see the old man turn his face away and refuse to look at him?
"Alright, this banana bun is specially made for your sister. If you want some, go buy two bananas yourself. I'll make you some later too!"
Li Tiehua, feeling sorry for his eldest son, put two pan-fried buns in his bowl, intending to shut him up.
Although Li Tiehua appears to be the one in charge at home, it is actually Old Man Lin who truly holds the power.
If Old Man Lin doesn't speak, then Li Tiehua can make all the decisions.
But now that Old Man Lin has spoken, Li Tiehua doesn't dare to go against her husband's wishes.
After finishing her meal, Lin Xue went back inside to pack some things and then followed Old Man Lin out.
"Dad, don't you have to go to work today? How come you have time to take me back to the village? Aren't you afraid I'll cause trouble for the villagers?"
Lin Xue's three questions struck a chord with Old Man Lin.
"I haven't taken a day off in over a year. My boss won't say anything if I take one now and then!"
"Besides, you better behave yourself when you get back this time. If you do those despicable things again, don't blame me for getting you a beating with a stick!"
The thought of his daughter's foolish past actions made Old Man Lin's temples throb with pain.
Every time he goes back to his hometown, the villagers tease him a bit.
With such a troublesome daughter at home, the villagers always felt like they had escaped a disaster whenever they saw that he hadn't brought Lin Xue back.
No one knows how much this hurt Old Man Lin's feelings.
Now that my daughter has made something of herself, wouldn't it be a shame not to take her back and show her off?
"Father, do you really believe I can control myself?"
Lin Xue was incredibly curious. Surely just because she had published a few articles in the newspaper, the old man would dare to take her back to the village?
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you the whole time. If you dare to flirt with the cats, tease the dogs, or hit the children again, I'll tie your hands and take you for a couple of laps around the village!"
Well, the old man wants to show off his daughter, but he's also worried about her!
Ugh, this wretched vanity!
Old Man Lin took Lin Xue by bus and then transferred to an oxcart, taking a total of 4 hours to get back to Linwei Village.
When Old Man Lin led Lin Xue into the village, some sharp-eyed children immediately ran home as if they had seen a plague god.
He ran while shouting loudly.
"Ghostly Sorrow is back! Old Lin's eldest granddaughter, Ghostly Sorrow, is back..."
That heart-wrenching scream—if Lin Xue hadn't known that she was a normal person with a body temperature of 36.5 degrees Celsius, she might have thought the child had seen a ghost.
"Dad, he doesn't have to go that far!"
Lin Xue clicked her tongue, looking disdainful!
