Lin Ying pretended not to see anything and asked, "Is Aunt He home?"
Hearing Lin Ying speaking, the person inside quickly stopped talking. Soon, Aunt He came out and said, "Oh dear, Xiao Ying, is something the matter?"
Lin Ying said, "Is Uncle He home? I'd like to ask Uncle He to come over and give my dad a bath. It's so hot outside, and he's already been searched. Don't worry, I'll give him two yuan for each bath, is that alright?"
Aunt He was overjoyed when she heard it was only two yuan: "No problem, wait, I'll go get your uncle right away!"
Lin Ying hurriedly said, "Auntie, you can call me later. I'll tidy up the house and boil some water first."
"Then I'll call your uncle over around 3 PM!" (Translated into Wu dialect)
Lin Ying drove the car to the back gate, but the front door was too small for the car to fit. She first wrote a prescription for Lin Huaiyu in the car, and then went to Lin Huaiyu's house.

Lin Ying watched this scene with mixed feelings. Although her resentment towards Lin Huaiyu was hard to erase, for the sake of the children and the unbreakable blood ties, she decided to put the past aside for the time being and help Lin Huaiyu get better first. As for Li Xin'er's future, she could only wait and see.
It was lunchtime, and Lin Ying checked the small pile of coal in the corner, figuring it wouldn't be enough. So she went back to her car, opened the door, and cooked lunch right there inside.
The dining table was set up in Lin Huaiyu's tiny courtyard because the cars outside already occupied half the road, and eating outside would completely block the road.
