Although hunger can drive people mad, Lin Xue still maintained some rationality. Instead of taking the main road, she turned onto a side path and took the mountain road back to Xiaowangzhuang.
After returning home, Lin Xue didn't rush to pick up her two children. Instead, she went into the kitchen, took out some food, and cooked a meal.
She was so hungry that her whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
Especially his hands, which were trembling so badly he almost dropped the firewood.
Because I was so hungry, I didn't feel like making any dishes. I just rinsed some rice, put in a pot of water, and started a fire by the stove.
Soon, a rich aroma of rice porridge wafted from the pot. Lin Xue couldn't help but swallow, but she knew that although the aroma was strong, the porridge inside wasn't fully cooked yet.
So Lin Xue kept telling herself not to impulsively eat the uncooked rice porridge.
At the same time, two more pieces of firewood were added to the stove to make the fire burn brighter.
When Lin Xue lifted the lid to check the rice porridge for the third time, she finally discovered that the porridge was ready.
Ignoring the heat, she ladled herself a bowl, ate it while blowing on it, and quickly finished the porridge.
After eating a bowl of porridge and having food in her stomach, Lin Xue no longer felt as uncomfortable as before.
She then removed the firewood from the stove and put it into another stove, then ladled a large pot of water into that pot before preparing to go and bring the two children back.
Just as she was about to step out of the courtyard, she saw a man leading two children to her doorstep.
Lin Xue was stunned for a moment before she realized that the man was Wang Guoqing, and the two children he was holding were the original owner's two children.
"Let's go inside and talk about it!"
The two stood facing each other at the door for a while before Wang Guoqing finally spoke.
Lin Xue didn't know what to say, so she nodded and followed the man and the two children into the courtyard.
After everyone had gone inside, they made sure to close the courtyard gate.
Upon entering the courtyard, Wang Guoqing discovered a fire burning in the kitchen, emanating a rich aroma of rice porridge.
He had just returned from town and was quite hungry after the journey.
Adding to the news he had just heard from his parents, he felt that this time when he came back, he would probably be faced with a cold and indifferent environment again.
I never expected to see this scene when I walked into the courtyard.
Didn't his mother say that Lin Xue had sent all the grain back to her parents' home? How come there's still rice in the pot?
With these questions in mind, Wang Guoqing entered the kitchen and, looking at the large pot of thick rice porridge, swallowed hard.
Could it be that his mother misunderstood? Xue Ni was ultimately thinking of their own family and didn't send all the grain back to her parents' home.
This time, his mother sent him back home without giving him a single bite to eat, all in an effort to get him to divorce Lin Xue.
"Are you hungry? Let's eat first, and we can talk about it after we eat!"
Seeing the man's appearance and then looking at the two children who were swallowing hard, Lin Xue quickly stepped forward to serve them rice.
Looking at Lin Xue's appearance, Wang Guoqing's decision, which he had just made, began to waver again.
Previously, it was because Lin Xue completely disregarded their small family and sent all the food back to her parents' home, intending to starve the whole family to death.
That's why I made up my mind to divorce Lin Xue for the sake of my two children.
But now, looking at the fragrant rice porridge in the pot and at Lin Xue bustling around, Wang Guoqing's heart wavered once again.
Xue Ni has feelings for him, right?
He decided to eat first, and then have a proper talk with Lin Xue after the meal.
Every change in Wang Guoqing's expression since he entered the courtyard was clearly written on his face. Lin Xue could see it all too.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking how incredibly fortunate the original owner was to have found such a man.
But why didn't she cherish it?
Wang Guoqing is really unlucky; he actually married Voldemort's wife.
Throughout history, it's been known that a woman who marries Voldemort has never had a good life.
After the meal, Lin Xue took the two children to the kitchen and used the hot water in the pot to wash and groom them thoroughly.
Then she found two clean clothes for the two children to wear. Although the original owner liked to send things back to her parents' home, she was definitely not lazy.
Looking at the house and its surroundings, apart from being a bit poor and empty, it was still quite clean and tidy.
Wang Guoqing went out for a while, and Lin Xue saw him return carrying a large bundle of firewood after she had washed the two children.
Lin Xue wasn't in the mood to deal with him for the time being. After washing and cleaning the two children, she tidied up the kitchen herself.
After such a tiring day, I was covered in sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable.
When Lin Xue came out again, she found that Wang Guoqing was no longer in the yard.
After asking the two children, they learned that the man couldn't stay still for a moment. After gathering firewood, he was now busy in his private plot in the backyard.
The two children weren't very close to Lin Xue. They would respond when Lin Xue spoke to them, but if she didn't initiate conversation, they would just stay by themselves and wouldn't come near her.
Sigh, the original owner really did commit some terrible sins.
She treats her brother's nephews and nieces like her own sons, but she neglects her own children like an outsider.
No wonder her two children aren't close to her anymore.
Soon it got dark. After watching the two children fall asleep, Lin Xue returned to her and Wang Guoqing's room.
"On National Day, I have something I want to say to you!"
"Snowy, I have something I want to tell you!"
The two spoke almost simultaneously, and upon hearing each other's words, they both looked up in surprise and sized each other up.
"You go first!"
Seeing that the other person also had something to say to her, Lin Xue sat down in front of the kang (a heated brick bed) and waited for the other person to speak first.
"You told me everything that happened at home today, although I don't know where you got this food from. But Xue Ni, could we please stop sending things from home to your parents' house?"
"Don't forget we still have Gou Dan'er and Er Ya! They are our own children, there's no reason why our own kids shouldn't be compared to outsiders!"
Wang Guoqing really liked Lin Xueni, and he never said anything harsh to her after they got married, which fostered Lin Xueni's reckless personality.
Ultimately, Wang Guoqing also bears some responsibility in this matter.
"Guoqing, you probably don't know, but I almost starved to death today!"
After listening to Wang Guoqing's words, Lin Xue also started to act out her role as a drama queen.
Her eyes were red, and her eyes were brimming with tears, looking like they were about to fall but couldn't, which made her look very pitiful.
In addition, Wang Guoqing already liked Lin Xueni, so how could he tolerate this?
His resolve wavered again. He thought that his wife only had one family, so he might as well just go along with her wishes.
But he quickly rejected the idea. He didn't mind being hungry or tired, but he had two children to care for.
