Chapter 288 I Only Treat You as My Sister (6)
"Shichu, he is your younger brother, how can you say that about him? He will be sad, and he was just looking for you to play just now. Don't be too sensitive. Why do you involve whether he has good manners or not? Daddy's little princess, you can't just say that others have no manners, even if you are talking about your younger brother." Father Lin said with a serious face, like a kind father who was teaching his daughter patiently, but the look under the glasses when he looked at Lin Shichu was not very friendly.
When Lin Shichu heard what the couple said, she knew it was impossible for her to expect them to teach the naughty child. Forget it, she was not Lin Cong's parents, just his sister. If she went to educate Lin Cong, Lin's father and mother would think she was meddling. So why should she cause trouble for herself?
"Mom and Dad, you are right. My brother is indeed too young to be sensible. I am just worried that the neighbors downstairs will come and complain about us again. The old lady who came from the countryside to take care of my daughter-in-law during the confinement period has a very bad mouth. I am a little worried that she will come up and cause trouble for mom and dad again later..." Lin Shichu said with a sigh.
Hearing Lin Shichu's words, the expressions on Lin's father and mother's faces immediately became stiff. They obviously remembered the old lady downstairs's previous brave deeds and were still frightened.
Actually, it's not the old lady's fault. After all, her daughter-in-law had just given birth to a baby, and both adults and children need a quiet resting environment. But Lin Cong, the naughty child, is at home all day long, either banging his toys or kicking tables and chairs from time to time. You know, the harsh sound when tables and chairs are moved can easily make people irritated.
Lin Cong could make such a noise that dozens of people could hear, disturbing his daughter-in-law and children downstairs. The old lady, who felt sorry for her family, reminded him two or three times, but Lin Cong did not change. Until the newborn baby downstairs was frightened and had a fever, and woke up when he heard the noise upstairs. The old lady could not stand it anymore, and ran up to scold Lin's father and mother and Lin Cong, and said that if it happened again, she would destroy the Lin family's house.
Lin Cong was sent back to the countryside, not only because his grandfather missed him, but also for this reason. He wanted him to stay away for a while and not cross the bottom line of the people downstairs, otherwise he would really make them angry and cause trouble.
That's why when Lin Shichu mentioned the old lady downstairs, Lin's father and mother's faces looked so ugly.
Sure enough, not long after Lin Shichu finished speaking, the door of the Lin family was smashed. It was similar to the way Lin Cong smashed Lin Shichu's door just now. The other party didn't even ring the doorbell, but smashed the door instead. You can imagine how angry he was.
"Mom and Dad, let's go and comfort them quickly. It is said that the old lady in the countryside is not very educated, and I'm afraid she will do something to my brother. Wasn't there a news report not long ago that an old lady was jealous of her neighbor for having three grandchildren while she had none of her own, so she killed all three of the neighbor's grandchildren? The newborn downstairs is a boy, and my brother is making so much noise that she is almost losing her mind. Will the old lady do something impulsive?" Lin Shichu said worriedly to Lin's father and mother.
When Lin's mother and father heard what she said, their eyes widened. Panic and worry appeared on their faces. They didn't even care about the crying Lin Cong. The door outside was still being smashed, and the old lady downstairs was yelling and cursing: "Little beast! Come out, I will kill you and you are my father!"
This sound, combined with Lin Shichu's words just now, made Lin's father and mother even more terrified, but the old lady outside was banging on the door too loudly. If she continued, other neighbors might come to complain, so Lin's father and mother had no choice but to bite the bullet and open the door.
Seeing this, Lin Shichu happily returned to his room and closed the door again.
She was just a child, with a father and a mother at home, so it was not her turn to solve the problem, so she locked herself in the room with peace of mind.
As expected, the old lady then put her hands on her hips and scolded Lin's father and mother and Lin Cong, and smashed all of Lin Cong's toys. Lin's father and mother did not dare to stop her. After all, she was an old lady. If she got hurt while trying to stop them, it would be terrible.
So when Lin Shichu came out of the room again, he saw Lin's father and mother cleaning up the remains of Lin Cong's toys, while Lin Cong was crying and asking for new toys. Only after Lin's father repeatedly promised to buy him new toys did he stop.
At this time, the doorbell rang. Lin's father and mother were both startled. Only when they realized it was the doorbell ringing and not the sound of someone knocking on the door did they react.
Lin Shichu couldn't help laughing when watching their actions. It seemed that the old lady downstairs had left them with a huge psychological shadow.
The ones who came this time were Lin's mother's colleague and her child. Lin's mother had just endured a violent storm from the old lady downstairs, and now she had to muster up her strength to receive the guests.
"Come in and sit down. What would you like to drink, Xiaoxi? How about juice?" Lin's mother asked her colleague's child kindly.
After getting the child's answer, Lin's mother went to the refrigerator to get some juice. When she entered the kitchen, she realized that she hadn't started cooking yet!
She came out quickly, and when she saw Lin Shichu, she was immediately relieved and said, "Chuchu, my mother's guests are here, and we don't have time now. Can you go and cook?"
Lin Shichu touched her stomach and nodded. She was hungry, so she decided to do it herself. Besides, she didn't want to be an awkward companion. Cooking was much better than accompanying guests. At least she didn't have to be patient.
"You are indeed mom's good daughter, obedient and sensible! Mom loves you the most!" Lin's mother praised Lin Shichu skillfully and quickly, but she didn't mean it. Only if she listened to her words could she be a good daughter, and if she didn't listen to her, she was immature.
Lin Shichu entered the kitchen. Her cooking skills were much better than Lin's mother's. Soon an extremely tempting aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Chen Xiaohong, a colleague of Lin's mother, sniffed the fragrance and said enviously, "Sister Zhao, the food you cook smells so good! You are so lucky..."
When Lin's mother heard her colleague's praise, she said with a smile, "It's just so-so. This child has been following my cooking since he was young, and now he can cook about 70% of what I do."
"Sister Zhao, you are too modest. The dishes made by Chuchu with only 70% of your skills are so delicious. If you cook them yourself, how delicious must they be?" Chen Xiaohong flattered.
"It's not as great as you say. It's just a little bit better than ordinary home-cooked dishes." Lin's mother said modestly, waving her hands.
"Then Sister Zhao, what kind of food is this fragrance? It smells like something I've never smelled before..." Chen Xiaoxia asked curiously.
Lin's mother's expression froze. In fact, she couldn't smell it herself, so how could she know which dish the fragrance came from? But when she thought of the sea fish she bought, she said confidently: "It's not surprising that you haven't smelled it before. After all, I bought a relatively rare sea fish today, so you are lucky to have it."
"Really? That's great! I must try it today." Chen Xiaoxia was very happy.
