Seeing this, Lin Jin quickly waved her hand, pretending to be angry, and said, "Aunt Li, what are you doing! You just bought so many things for me, it's only right that I give you something in return! If you give me the money now, then we'll settle everything!"
Just then, the coal deliveryman had already carried all the coal into the kitchen. Lin Jin turned around to pay, only to be told that Li Yanjun had already paid. Lin Jin said helplessly, "Aunt Li, look at you, you've made me so embarrassed! I won't dare ask you for help again!"
Li Yanjun quickly said, "Alright, alright, let's not be so formal! I'll accept what you gave me without hesitation, and you don't need to be polite with what I give you either, okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she sighed deeply again and continued, "Oh, you know, if only you were my daughter! It's a pity I don't have that kind of luck! My two sons are utterly useless, all they do is make me angry! Make me angry! They only ever make me angry! Look at you, so well-behaved and sensible! If my two boys were even half as good as you, I'd be thanking God! It's a shame they're not good enough for a girl as wonderful as you! If I could, I'd really like to take you home and make you my daughter-in-law! Haha, alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore, I should go now. Don't forget to light the stove tonight, or it'll be cold!"
"Okay, Aunt Li, please take care on your way home!"
"Hey! Don't bother seeing me off anymore, go back inside, it's too cold!" Li Yanjun said, waving her hand to indicate that the other person didn't need to see her off any further. Her tone revealed a hint of reluctance and concern, as if the cold weather couldn't diminish her care for the other person.
After saying that, Li Yanjun muttered softly, "What a good daughter, she knows how to care for people!" Although her voice was soft, it clearly reached Lin Jin's ears.
Lin Jin stood there, somewhat stunned, watching Li Yanjun's departing figure. Just then, Li Yanjun suddenly seemed to remember something important, slapped her forehead, and exclaimed, "Oh dear, how could I not have thought of that!"
Lin Jin was startled by her sudden action and looked at her with some confusion. Li Yanjun quickly turned back, walked up to Lin Jin, grabbed her hand tightly, and said excitedly, "How about I adopt you as my goddaughter? If you agree, tomorrow… no, the day after tomorrow, I'll prepare a feast and officially recognize you as my goddaughter!"
Li Yanjun's gaze was drawn to Lin Jin as if by a magnet, as if trying to see through his appearance to his inner thoughts. Her hand gripped Lin Jin's sleeve tightly, as if afraid he would suddenly break free and turn away.
Lin Jin sensed Li Yanjun's nervousness and anticipation. He thought for a moment, a smile appearing on his lips, and said softly, "Yes, Aunt Li. As long as you don't mind, that's fine."
Upon hearing this, Li Yanjun's worry was instantly replaced by joy. She quickly said, "I like you so much, how could I possibly dislike you!" Without hesitation, she pushed Lin Jin into the house, anxiously instructing, "Go back quickly, don't catch a cold. I need to tell Lao Qin, and your brothers, this good news right away! I finally have a daughter! Haha, I never imagined I, Li Yanjun, would have a daughter!"
Before she finished speaking, Li Yanjun hurriedly left like a gust of wind. However, after taking only a few steps, she suddenly turned back and reminded her again, "Remember, the formal family recognition is the day after tomorrow. You can't back out!"
Lin Jin smiled and nodded, "I understand, godmother!" Hearing this, Li Yanjun was even happier. Lin Jin watched her walk away, feeling quite pleased herself. Lin Jin returned to the house and continued preparing the meal. The thought of having a godmother filled her with warmth.
The day after tomorrow arrived quickly. Lin Jin got up early, carefully chose a decent outfit, and went to Li Yanjun's house with gifts. Her godmother and her family were already waiting at the door. When Li Yanjun saw Lin Jin, she quickly took her hand and led everyone inside, then introduced them: "This is your Uncle Qin, no… he should be called your godfather. These two are your brother and your younger brother."
Uncle Qin smiled kindly, and the two older brothers and younger brother greeted him warmly as well. The table was laden with a sumptuous feast, and everyone ate and chatted in a harmonious atmosphere. Suddenly, the eldest brother spoke up, "Little sister, I heard you can make beauty pills. Make some for your brothers sometime!" The second brother chimed in, "That's right, little sister, give us some too!" Lin Jin smiled and nodded, "Okay, brothers, I'll make some for you later." Her godmother beamed from ear to ear, saying, "Our family should look after each other from now on." Lin Jin ate with particular relish, knowing that she now had a warm home.
