Old Man Lin knew his daughter was wealthy, and there was no need for her to live a life of poverty with him.
You know, every time they came back in the past, his sister-in-law would deliberately cook the food to make it taste bad.
If he hadn't had informants in the village, people would have really thought his family was about to starve!
At first, Old Man Lin would save some food from his own home to send over, but as he gradually learned the truth, he stopped doing these unnecessary things.
Even though he brought over the food rations he had saved, he didn't receive a single word of thanks from his sister-in-law.
His older brother was quite touched, but old man Lin, being so stingy, was unwilling to be taken advantage of all the time.
Lin Xue quickly arrived in town and went straight to the photo studio, where the photographer was about to close for the day.
"Master, do you photographers ever go to the countryside?"
As soon as Lin Xue entered the store, she asked the photographer who was tidying up the things.
"Sure, but you need to reserve at least ten tickets each time you go to the countryside!"
Taking photos was still very expensive in those days; each photo cost 50 cents.
It costs 2 mao to wash an extra sheet.
In this era where you have to calculate every penny you spend, 50 cents is a lot of money.
"Master, then please come with me!"
"The location is Linwei Village. Driver, hurry up and get ready, we'll be there in a bit. We'll cover lunch!"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she took out 10 yuan from her pocket and handed it to the photographer.
"Okay, I'll pack up. There's one more person here, so two of us will need to come along!"
The photographer, holding the 10 yuan in his hand, stopped hesitating and started looking for his equipment bag. He put the camera in the bag so he could carry it with him later.
"Okay, you guys get started packing, I'll come back later!"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she walked towards the state-run restaurant.
There weren't many people in the state-run restaurant; it seemed the workers who were supposed to be off duty hadn't arrived yet.
Lin Xue ran straight to the counter, ordered four or five dishes, and then handed over her lunchbox.
Her lunchbox was specially made, and it could hold more than a regular lunchbox.
Moreover, the food in this world is very affordable, and if the lunchbox is too small, it really won't fit.
After packing up the food, Lin Xue returned to the photo studio, greeted the photographer, and the three of them headed towards Linwei Village.
The photographers had a bicycle, and Lin Xue felt a little embarrassed that they were following her even though they could ride it.
"Please wait here for me, I'm going to borrow a bicycle from a relative's house!"
Lin Xue handed the lunchbox she was carrying to the photographer's apprentice, then ran quickly into an alley.
A short while later, she came out pushing an old bicycle.
Since the photographers saw that Lin Xue had a bicycle, they didn't need to walk with her.
The three of them rode their bicycles and soon arrived at Linwei Village.
At this time, every household is cooking at home, and the aroma of food wafts throughout Linwei Village.
Lin Xue led the two photographers to Old Lin's house.
At this time, Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, and several cousins had all returned from work.
"Xiaoxue, these two must be the photographers?"
He led the two into the house, but the expected cold face did not appear.
Perhaps Old Man Lin had already explained Lin Xue's situation to her uncle and aunt, because now when her aunt saw Lin Xue, she showed a rare smile.
"Aunt, these are dishes I ordered from the state-run restaurant. The two photographers haven't eaten yet. Is our meal ready?"
Lin Xue parked the bicycle in the yard and then took the bag containing the lunchbox off the handlebars.
"Oh dear, Xiaoxue, why are you spending that money? Your aunt is at home; the food is all ready and waiting for you to come back!"
Although my aunt said that, she was actually happy inside.
It seems that Lin Xiaokou has indeed changed a lot, just as her father-in-law said!
Not only did they bring gifts when they arrived, but they also hired someone to take photos and even went to a state-run restaurant to buy groceries themselves.
This was because they were worried that her family's preparations were insufficient and would make the Lin family lose face!
Unexpectedly, after Lin Xiaokou got married, her personality became more likable.
Aunt led Lin Xue into the house, where the two photographers had already been welcomed inside by the men.
The family was divided into two large tables. The eldest aunt gave some of the dishes that Lin Xue had packed back to the women's side, and poured the rest into plates and served them to the men's table.
At the dinner table, several of her cousins curiously sized up Lin Xue, but none of them spoke, fearing that if they did, Lin Xue would cling to them like the original owner of the body.
From childhood to adulthood, whenever they had anything good, it was basically all taken away by this cousin.
Even now, these cousins are still quite intimidated when they see Lin Xue.
"My cousins probably don't recognize me yet, right? I went to the countryside six years ago and haven't been back since. But my parents told me that my cousins are all capable women who manage their homes and businesses like flowers!"
"I also brought gifts for my cousins' wives this time. I'll take them out and give them to them after we finish eating!"
With Lin Xue's introduction, although these cousins had also heard about the original owner's deeds, they didn't really believe the rumors because Lin Xue seemed easy to talk to and generous.
Soon, Lin Xue's cousins started chatting with her about everything from family matters to interpersonal relationships, and eventually, they got to the topic of clothing and appearance.
