The next morning, Lin Xue got up very early.
The two daughters-in-law also got up quite early, each taking a basket to pick wild vegetables nearby.
Lin Xue, along with her two children, picked wild fruits at a spot they had chosen the day before.
These wild berries are red, the branches are covered with barbed thorns, and even the leaves have many small, fuzzy thorns.
It hurts a lot if you accidentally touch it on your hand.
While telling the two children to be careful, Lin Xue quickly picked the red berries from the fruit.
Although there are a lot of thorns on this tree, the fruit is exceptionally sweet.
Lin Xue plans to pick more to make jam, so that it will be more flavorful when dipped in wild vegetable pancakes later.
"Auntie, so you've been here all along!"
The three members of the family were happily picking fruit when they suddenly heard a gentle male voice behind them.
"Master Liu is here quite early today too!"
Lin Xue smiled and turned around to see Liu Muchen looking refreshed.
"Auntie...?"
After seeing Lin Xue's appearance clearly, Liu Muchen stammered.
"What, you don't recognize me after sleeping with me for one night?"
Lin Xue rolled her eyes at the other person, finding it somewhat amusing.
It's just taking a shower, it's not like you're getting a new face, why make that expression?
Didn't you notice that none of her children showed any unusual symptoms?
That's definitely not her problem.
But Lin Xue didn't know that her eye roll just now, in Liu Muchen's eyes, was a captivating and alluring sight that made people's souls tremble!
"Auntie, I didn't expect you to look so much younger after taking a bath!"
Liu Muchen was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. He wasn't like this before!
Seeing this little old lady again, my heart was pounding like a drum, and I was so nervous that I couldn't even speak properly.
No, this can't be done! It's utterly disgraceful!
"Hahaha, how much smaller can it be? Mr. Liu, please don't tease me!"
Lin Xue was amused by him and laughed heartily. This Mr. Liu was really quite interesting this morning.
Why did I end up acting with her?
"I'm telling the truth, why don't you believe me!"
Liu Muchen was truly embarrassed. Had he been blind all along?
Recalling the old lady's dark, wrinkled face, he thought she wasn't unattractive at most; she had a kind of beauty that comes with age.
But it's not the same as the beauty we have now!
"Grandma, you look even better this morning than usual!"
Li Zhen looked at this and then at that, and finally decided to tell the truth.
"Yes, Grandma was beautiful to begin with! She's just even more beautiful now!"
Li Shun was putting a red fruit into his mouth when he heard his sister's words and immediately expressed his opinion.
"Ha, that's right!"
"Back in the day, I was the most beautiful woman in our area! The line of men wanting to marry me stretched from my doorstep all the way to the outskirts of the county town..."
Hearing the two children's praise, Lin Xue shamelessly brought up the events of that year again.
Although this happened back then, she is now occupying the original owner's body, so those past events are now her past as well.
Lin Xue originally said these words with the intention of joking about herself, but seeing the one, two, three heads nodding in agreement seriously.
Why do I suddenly feel a little awkward?
"big……"
Liu Muchen could no longer bring himself to call her "mother."
I used to think Lin Xue was an old lady because of her wrinkled, dark face.
Now that she's washed it clean, you can see that she still has quite a few wrinkles on her face.
But those are just crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and smile lines at the corners of her mouth.
She's clearly a charming young woman, how can she be called an "old lady"?
It turns out that she had simply covered up her original appearance because she hadn't washed her face.
Now, all it took was a shower to reveal its true form.
He could no longer bring himself to call her "Auntie".
"I don't know... how old you are?"
Lin Xue stammered after being asked a question by Liu Muchen, which made her a little nervous.
That shouldn't be the case. Taking a shower isn't like getting a new face, so why is this person's expression so awkward?
"I'm 38 years old! Why are you asking that?"
Lin Xue didn't know why the man in front of her suddenly asked about her age, but she still answered honestly.
Anyway, her three sons are all quite old, so there's no need to keep their ages a secret.
Looking at her three grown-up sons, one can roughly estimate her age. What's the point of hiding it?
"38 years old? Oh, you're actually younger than me!"
"I can't call you 'Auntie' anymore, I have to call you 'Little Sister'!"
Liu Muchen rubbed his hands together somewhat awkwardly.
Fortunately, he had been in business for many years and had a thick skin, so he quickly regained his composure.
"What's wrong? You look so delicate and tender, how could you be older than me?"
Lin Xue looked at the man in front of her with surprise.
He has very fair skin, is very tall, and is somewhat thin.
He exudes a refined and scholarly air, and is very gentle in his attitude towards people.
She's pretty, and doesn't look older than her at all.
"Mr. Liu is 42 years old this year, which is exactly 4 years older than the young lady!"
Liu Muchen straightened his posture, tidied himself up, and revealed his age!
"Oh my, I never imagined that someone with no wrinkles on their face could be 42 years old!"
"I thought you were only in your early 30s at most!"
