There is no regret medicine in the world. It is useless for Lin Chaoyu to regret now. He can only grit his teeth and work at his uncle's house.
Early the next morning, before daybreak, Lin Zhaoxia woke him up.
The two of them had to get up early to cook and clean the house. If they didn't get up now, it would be too late.
If they were to wait until my aunt woke up and found that they were still asleep, she would definitely be beaten.
Lin Chaoyu didn't sleep well last night. He was too hot and bitten by mosquitoes, which made it impossible for him to fall asleep.
I finally got some sleep and now I have to get up and work again.
Lin Chaoyu got up reluctantly, picked up the broom and started cleaning the yard.
He swept to the door of his uncle and aunt's room. Even though he was very small, he still made some noise.
Li Xiuzhi had already woken up, but she was still angry. When she heard the noise, she suddenly opened the door and started cursing.
"You're going to die, you little bastard! Can't you let me sleep so early in the morning? I asked you to do some work, but you're making so much noise on purpose, aren't you?"
While scolding, Li Xiuzhi twisted Lin Chaoyu's ear and pointed at his forehead.
Lin Chaoyu felt very aggrieved, but he didn't dare to talk back. If he was beaten even worse, no one would save him.
After beating Lin Chaoyu up, Li Xiuzhi was still not satisfied and left him in the kitchen.
Lin Zhaoxia was cooking porridge in front of the stove. Li Xiuzhi lifted the lid of the pot to take a look, then smashed the lid directly on Lin Zhaoxia's forehead.
"Do you think I'm your granary? Cooking so much rice!"
Lin Zhaoxia covered her forehead, knowing that her aunt was deliberately torturing them, and she dared not say a word.
"If you dare to cook so much rice next time, I will smash your paws!"
After Li Xiuzhi said this, she went back to the house with a high opinion of herself.
She went back to the room by herself, but asked her daughter to watch in the kitchen to prevent Lin Zhaoxia from eating secretly.
After all the work was done, the Zhao family was finally ready to eat.
Lin Zhaoxia and Lin Zhaoyu didn't eat last night, and they were very hungry now, so they also brought their bowls over and waited.
Li Xiuzhi glared at him and said, "Eat, eat, eat. You two are starving ghosts who have been reincarnated. There is no share for you!"
Today's porridge was thicker, and although it contained brown rice, Li Xiuzhi was reluctant to give it to them.
Lin Chaoyu was almost starving, and looked to his uncle Zhao Guangzhi for help.
Zhao Guangzhi pretended not to see it and lowered his head to slurp the brown rice porridge.
Lin Zhaoxia pulled Lin Zhaoyu by the collar and dragged him out of the living room.
"Third sister, aren't we going to starve to death in my uncle's house?"
Lin Zhaoxia was also very hungry and her face looked very bad.
"Third sister, let's go back to find Uncle and ask him to find Captain to save us. I don't want to stay at my uncle's house."
After just one day, Lin Chaoyu couldn't stay any longer.
He had to work as soon as he got up, and was not allowed to eat. He had never lived such a hard life.
Lin Zhaoxia was also a little moved. Uncle Xiao was the softest. Maybe he would be able to help them.
The two were discussing, and after they finished their meal, Zhao Guangzhi called them to go to work.
Zhao Guangzhi was not polite to them and directly asked them to do the heavy work.
Lin Zhaoxia was a little older, so she went to fetch water while Lin Zhaoyu weeded in the yard.
Lin Chaoyu was seven years old and not very tall, so he could only use the smallest short hoe and weed with his butt sticking out.
Lin Zhaoxia didn't have much strength either, especially since she hadn't eaten for two meals, so she had no energy at all.
She only carried one bucket of water at a time, exerting all her strength to lift it into the water.
After fetching water twice, she was exhausted.
When she turned back to fetch water from the river, Lin Zhaoxia's eyes suddenly went dark and she fell directly into the river.
A man who came behind her to fetch water saw her fall into the water, so he quickly dropped his bucket and jumped into the river to save her.
Others heard the noise and rushed over, and the man had already pulled Lin Zhaoxia out.
"She looks unfamiliar. Whose girl is she?"
"It seems to be the niece of the Hiroshi family. She was brought back some time ago. I met her once."
Someone recognized Lin Zhaoxia's family and quickly informed Zhao Guangzhi.
When Zhao Guangzhi rushed over, he saw Lin Zhaoxia lying on the bed, soaking wet, with her eyes closed.
The man who was rescuing her explained, "Brother Guangzhi, she didn't choke on the water. It seems that she fainted before she fell into the river."
Zhao Guangzhi saw that he was also wet and his face looked a little ugly.
Why did Wang Weijun pick up Lin Zhaoxia?
He was a bachelor, yet he carried Lin Zhaoxia out of the river. So many people saw it, and there would definitely be gossip about it.
He was still hoping to find a family willing to pay more for Lin Zhaoxia's marriage in two years.
Now that the gossip has spread, it will be difficult to find him in the next two years.
Thinking of this, Zhao Guangzhi couldn't help but glare at the unconscious Lin Zhaoxia again.
You are such a thrifty person that you can't even do your job properly. How can you expect to get married if you are touched and hugged by a man?
Zhao Guangzhi had a dark face and didn't say thank you. He carried Lin Zhaoxia away.
As soon as he left, people started talking behind him.
Zhao Guangzhi carried Lin Zhaoxia back home and threw her directly into the firewood shed.
Lin Zhaoxia was shocked and came to her senses.
Seeing that she woke up, Zhao Guangzhi opened his mouth and scolded her.
"I asked you to fetch water and you threw yourself into the river. Do you want to die?"
Lin Zhaoxia didn't dare to talk back and just lowered her head to accept the scolding.
"You are so young, yet you are so shameless, letting a man touch and hug you. Are you afraid that no one is teasing your uncle behind your back?"
Lin Zhaoxia looked up suddenly. Who was being touched and hugged by a man?
Zhao Guangzhi glared at her, "What are you looking at? Who told you to jump into the river? Now you're in this state, what's the point of looking at me?"
Lin Zhaoxia was stunned, how could things turn out like this?
She knew very well how much gossip these aunts and uncles in the country spread.
Today she fell into the river and was fished out by a man, and who knows what kind of story would be spread among them.
Although she was only thirteen years old, she already understood these things.
If such gossip were spread about her, who would be willing to marry her if she had a good family background?
Originally, she was hoping to marry into a good family in two years and get away from her uncle's family.
Now, Lin Zhaoxia really wanted to die.
She lay on the bed sullenly without saying a word. Zhao Guangzhi was too lazy to care about her and went back to work.
When Lin Chaoyu came back from work, he found that his third sister had not cooked and was lying on the bed in a daze. He felt as if the sky had fallen.
"Third sister! Why haven't you cooked yet? My aunt will be back soon!"
Lin Zhaoxia ignored him and stared at the ceiling without saying a word.
Seeing her like this, Lin Chaoyu was also a little scared.
"Third sister, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Lin Zhaoxia looked at the ceiling for a while, then turned to look at Lin Zhaoyu.
"We have to go home and not stay here."
She suddenly sat up and said, "Let's go before they come back!"
