Chapter 70 Going to Pay Back the Money
In addition, the roof of Lin Luoxi's house was a dilapidated thatched roof, and the mischievous moonlight shone through the holes into the room.
The room was brightly lit so that Lin Luoxi and Lin Luoning wouldn't trip over the threshold.
After catching up, Lin Luoxi kept a close eye on Lin Luoning's expression. She only relaxed when she found that there was nothing wrong with Lin Luoning's face.
After Lin Luoning finished dealing with this important life event, it was still dark when the two returned to their room to rest.
"Sister, wake up! Why are there so many eggs in our room?" Lin Luoxi asked, half asleep, as she heard Lin Luoning's chattering voice again.
Lin Luoxi was heartbroken. She had been working intensely all day yesterday, doing chores outside and spending half the night working in the space.
Just when I finally fell asleep, Lin Luoning, that girl, started asking me all sorts of questions again, as if she were fully revived.
At this moment, Lin Luo desperately wanted a private room.
"I guess some wild pheasants from the mountains came to our house to lay eggs." Lin Luoxi sighed helplessly and had no choice but to get up.
He then made up a lie to appease Lin Luoning.
"Hehe, sister, do you think I believe you?" Lin Luoning couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard Lin Luoxi's answer.
Is this how they treat her, like a child, so perfunctory?
"It's okay, no matter what kind of chicken comes to our house to lay eggs, we'll have steamed eggs this morning, how about that?" Lin Luoxi changed the subject, avoiding the main issue.
"Okay, what I want to eat most is eggs." In Lin Luoning's memory, eggs were such a precious thing that only boys like Lin Wenwu could eat them, and they could only watch from the sidelines.
Every time they see Lin Wenwu and his sister eating eggs, they are very envious and want to know what eggs taste like.
Now, hearing Lin Luoxi say they could have steamed egg custard, she was more excited and expectant than anyone else.
Seeing Lin Luoning's genuine smile, Lin Luoxi felt a pang of sadness. Without saying another word, she got dressed, grabbed the eggs, and headed to the kitchen.
"Hey, Da Ya, why are you two up so early?" Hearing Lin Luo Ning's excited voice from next door, Lin Da You poked his head out and saw Lin Luo Xi walking towards the kitchen, so he followed her.
"Hey, where did you get so many eggs?" Lin Dayou was so shocked when he saw Lin Luoxi carefully taking out dozens of eggs that his eyes were bigger than the eggs themselves.
"Oh, I found it in the mountains." Lin Luoxi now lies without even thinking, and the lies just come out of her mouth.
"Oh!" Upon hearing that it was found in the mountains, Lin Dayou immediately shut his mouth and didn't ask any more questions.
Now, even if Lin Luoxi brought back a piece of gold from the mountains, Lin Dayou would think it's normal.
Lin Luoning, who was following behind Lin Luoxi, had already been drawn to the eggs and couldn't hear Lin Luoxi and Lin Dayou's conversation at all.
"How are we going to eat all these eggs?" Lin Dayou swallowed hard as he looked at the pile of eggs that Lin Luoxi had stacked into a small mountain.
"Steam, boil, fry, deep-fry—get a plate of each." Lin Luoxi looked at the nearly forty round, white eggs and decided to have an egg feast today.
"That's great, I'll start the fire for you." As long as he can eat, that's the happiest thing for Lin Dayou, and he took the initiative to fawn over Lin Luoxi.
"Father, the silver I gave you before can be returned to Grandfather's family and Uncle Zhou's family this morning."
Now everyone knows that her family sold the tiger and has money in hand. If they try to pay back the money, they'll be called deadbeats.
"Okay, I'll go now." After Lin Luoxi reminded him, Lin Dayou helped Lin Luoxi start the fire, went back to his room, and rushed out the door.
"Dad, wait a minute." Lin Luoxi saw Lin Dayou leave empty-handed and quickly called out to him.
"What's wrong, daughter?" Lin Dayou looked at Lin Luoxi, who had stopped him, with a puzzled expression.
“Dad, they lent you money when you were in the most trouble. They were being generous. We can’t be ungrateful and go back to repay their kindness. There’s no reason for us to go empty-handed.” Lin Luoxi was speechless when she saw Lin Dayou’s simple-minded appearance.
She told Lin Dayou to wait where he was, then turned and went into her own room, carrying brown sugar and trendy cookies that she had prepared beforehand, and stuffed them into Lin Dayou's hands.
"Your Uncle Zhou and I are not strangers, so these gifts are a bit too formal!" Lin Dayou held both hands full of gifts and felt that Lin Luoxi was making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Just because you're familiar with Uncle Zhou, these things should be sent over."
Lin Luoxi was worried about Lin Dayou taking so many things to the village chief's house, so she called Lin Wenqian out to make breakfast. She then followed Lin Dayou, carrying a stick, to ask for his money back.
"Girl, we're going to pay back the money, not to collect a debt. There's no need to bring a stick!"
Lin Luoxi carried a stick and walked ahead with a brisk pace, not like she was going to pay back the money, but rather like she was going to urge a deadbeat who owed her money to pay it back, which made Lin Dayou both laugh and cry.
"I'm not worried that some blind fool might jump out and snatch things." Lin Luoxi ignored Lin Dayou's deadpan expression, took the stick, and stood protectively beside Lin Muyou.
On the way, the villagers saw Lin Dayou, whose hands were full of things, and were about to go up and greet him.
As a result, upon seeing the stick in Lin Luoxi's hand and her serious expression, he could only stand there, waving to Lin Dayou from afar while eyeing the gifts in Lin Dayou's hands.
"Girl, you know what, with you protecting me like this, I always feel like I'm a high-ranking official on a tour of inspection, it's so cool."
When Lin Dayou noticed the strange looks people were giving him—no, the strange looks they were giving the things in his hands—he suddenly realized that being protected by Lin Luoxi was a good feeling.
"Ha, you're dreaming." Lin Luoxi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lin Dayou when she heard his words. He was just a bully borrowing the tiger's power; that perfectly described her father.
However, with Lin Luoxi holding a stick and protecting them on either side, they arrived smoothly at the village chief's house.
"Dad, you go in! I'm going back now." The person has been safely delivered to the village chief's door. Even if someone is blind, with the village chief there, nothing should go wrong.
"Daughter, aren't you going to wait and come back with me?" Lin Dayou was actually enjoying the feeling of Lin Ruoxi protecting him with a stick.
Lin Luoxi didn't say anything more and quickly disappeared down the road she came from.
"Oh, it's Brother Dayou." Lin Yangshi, who was having a big argument with Lin Zhousheng, was about to go out to visit someone when she met Lin Dayou at the door, who was carrying gifts in both hands. Her face was full of smiles.
While calling out to Lin Zhousheng to come out and greet the guests, she warmly welcomed Lin Dayou inside.
