“Dad, Grandma gave birth to you, so it’s not wrong for you to want to be filial to her. Otherwise, after we get there, you can send her some money from time to time. With money, her life will be easier.”
She didn't want her father to worry about such a small matter, so she decided to give him some money; after all, they didn't care about that little bit anymore.
Moreover, she saw that Old Mrs. Shen's health was deteriorating day by day. When they were at home, things were fine, and her father would go back to visit from time to time. Lin Jianqun and Niu Shi didn't dare to go too far. But now that they were far away, who knew how those two would mistreat her.
Being ignored and abused by her favored child, the old woman must have felt terrible.
Lin Jianguo looked at his daughter with relief. Despite how her mother had treated her, she didn't resent her mother at all. "We'll see when the time comes. You'll grow up and have more expenses. I've heard that in big cities, you have to pay for everything, and it's incredibly expensive. With our savings, we won't have much left after buying a house. We'll talk about it after we've settled down there."
"Dad, don't worry, I'm here. Besides, those two houses we bought will be worth a lot of money later."
It turns out that when Lin Xiao was showing them houses back then, Lin Xi couldn't resist and persuaded her family to buy two houses. If they couldn't live in them all, they could rent out one of them later.
"Okay, take a nap. I'll call you for dinner later."
Lin Xi hadn't slept well today. Looking at Lin Lin next to her, who had been so excited just moments before, she was now fast asleep.
I closed my eyes, listened to the clattering of the train, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
After a long train journey of dozens of hours, Lin Xi was feeling dizzy and lightheaded, while Lin Lin, who had initially been excited, had become numb. In particular, the food on the train was not good, and he missed the braised pork made at home, craving it terribly.
Finally arriving at her destination, Lin Xi just wanted to get off the bus as soon as possible, get to her accommodation, and take a good shower.
She felt that after so long, she must have smelled terrible, and her hands would be covered in mud if she wiped them.
We've almost finished eating what we brought, so all that's left are the two bags containing a change of clothes.
Jiang's mother and Lin Jianguo each carried one child on their backs. Looking at the bustling place with intersections everywhere, they asked Lin Xi, "Have you told Lin Xiao that he's coming to pick us up?"
“Yes, I did tell you. Brother Lin Xiao said he was waiting for us at the exit.”
After asking several people, they finally found the exit. Sure enough, Lin Xiao was waiting there. His eyes lit up when he saw them, and he quickly ran over to take the things from Jiang's mother's back: "Godmother, give these to me, I'll take them."
Jiang's mother quickly stopped her, saying, "No, child, you're still healthy. This thing is heavy. I can handle it."
Lin Xiao didn't insist on taking it. His father hadn't even allowed him to come today, saying that he could just arrange someone else. But Lin Xiao refused. It was Xiao Xi's first time here, and he insisted on picking her up.
Unable to persuade him otherwise, Lin Hai had no choice but to compromise and arranged for a driver to come with him to pick up the person.
Lin Xiao stared intently at Lin Xi: "Xiao Xi, you've become even more beautiful."
Lin Xi blushed at those words and quickly changed the subject: "Brother Lin Xiao, you said on the phone that you were completely better, but you still seem to be walking a little strangely. Are you still not fully recovered?"
"It's okay, the doctor said there's nothing seriously wrong. Just don't be too active lately."
Seeing that Lin Xiao was only focused on talking to his sister, Lin Lin, unwilling to be ignored, asked unhappily, "Brother Xiao, do you only see my sister? Don't you see any of us living, breathing people?"
"No, no, godfather, godmother, are you hungry? Come on, let's go eat first. I've already made a reservation at a restaurant."
"Hey, Xiao-ge, why don't you ask if I'm hungry?"
“Huh?!…”
Lin Xi patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, stop teasing him. Didn't he just say he was hungry? Go eat now."
Lin Lin gave a mischievous smile and obediently followed behind her sister.
Lin Xiao arrived at a car, and the driver quickly got out, put the things in the trunk, and drove them to the restaurant.
Lin Lin, this country bumpkin, was extremely fascinated by the door of the restaurant, turning it around and around repeatedly.
"Alright, stop embarrassing yourself. Can't you see everyone's looking at you?"
"Sis, big cities are so nice. Look how well everyone else is dressed. We might look okay in town, but next to them, we look like country bumpkins!"
Lin Xi looked around at the people around her. They were all wearing the most fashionable dresses, with permed hair, and their faces were carefully powdered and lipsticked. They all looked extremely beautiful, and you couldn't tell their age at first glance.
Seeing Lin Lin still excitedly pointing and looking around, she slapped his hand: "Alright, stop staring at people like that, it's impolite. Can't you see they're unhappy? Hurry up and catch up with your parents to eat."
Upon arriving at their reserved private room, Lin Lin enthusiastically spun the spinning wheel on it, exclaiming, "Sis, look, it spins! It's so much fun!"
Lin Xi was speechless, clutching her forehead. Could she really say she didn't recognize the person in front of her? It was too embarrassing.
Lin Xiao instructed their manager to start serving the ordered dishes.
He gestured for Lin Jianguo and Jiang's mother to sit down. Jiang's mother touched the stool and said, "Goodness, this stool must have cost a lot of money. Look at it, it feels so different."
Lin Jianguo nudged her: "Don't be like Xiao Lin, making yourself a laughing stock."
"What's wrong with me? There are no outsiders here. Isn't Lin Xiao family? What's wrong with me liking him?"
Lin Xiao laughed and said, "It's okay, godmother. To be honest, I was also very surprised when I first came here. I was even more surprised than Xiao Lin."
"That's right, when you see something unusual, who wouldn't want to touch and look at it?"
"Godmother, I ordered your favorite chicken stew with mushrooms, and Godfather's favorite braised pork. They also have some seafood that just arrived today, so I ordered a few dishes. You can see how they taste when they arrive."
"You ordered so much! Look, you've spent so much money again."
"Godmother, don't be so formal with me. I ate a lot at your house when I was little. Now that I'm all grown up, I'm taking you to eat all sorts of things you've never seen before."
As they spoke, dishes were served one after another. Looking at the crab in front of her, which was bigger than her face, Lin Lin couldn't help but drool.
"Wow! What is this thing? It's so big! It looks delicious."
