Sisi looked down at the old man on the ground and said, "My family needs a doorman. Are you coming? If you come, I'll give you food."
The old man was very pleased to hear this.
The old man hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
The old man scrambled to his feet in a flash. "Really? That's great! Let's go!"
Feng Chan was showing Thirteen the rooster when Si Si returned with the old man. "Mother, little brother."
Feng Chan and Shisan both looked at Sisi when they heard her voice.
Thirteen pointed at the rooster and made a few "ah ah" sounds, meaning, "Come and see the rooster!"
Feng Chan looked at the old man following behind Si Si and said, "Hello, who are you?"
The old man glanced at Feng Chan and Thirteen's complexions. "I used to be a beggar, now I'm a gatekeeper."
Whose gate are we guarding?
Feng Chan looked over at Si Si.
Sisi gestured to Fengchan, indicating that they would talk later. "Is there any food in the kitchen? If so, get him some; he hasn't eaten for three days."
"Yes." There are many children in the family, so everyone cooks extra food. If any child gets hungry, they can just heat it up and eat. "I'll go get it."
"good."
When Thirteen saw that Fengchan was about to carry him to another place, he quickly pointed at the rooster and made a few "ah ah" sounds, meaning that he wanted to see the rooster again.
Seeing that Thirteen didn't want to leave, Sisi asked Fengchan to give Thirteen to her.
Thirteen was happy.
In his excitement, he hugged Sisi's neck and kissed her cheek twice. "Ahhh..." Look at the rooster, look at the rooster.
Sisi wiped the drool from Thirteen's mouth. "Isn't the rooster cute?"
Thirteen still doesn't understand what Sisi is saying? But it doesn't matter if she understands or not, just responding is enough. "Ahhh..."
The old man looked at Sisi and said, "Your mother is really bold. Isn't she afraid that I'll take your brother away from you?"
Sisi gave the old man a smile. "Try taking one yourself."
The old man: "..." Something felt off. "Just rob me then."
bump!
The old man fainted the moment his hand touched Thirteen's clothes.
Thirteen blinked. "Ahhh..." What's going on?
"Sister is teasing him." Sisi patted the old man.
The old man slowly woke up.
When the old man woke up, he saw Thirteen staring at him with wide, questioning eyes.
The old man: "..." Is this little girl from the Yun family? The Yun family never uses underhanded tricks. "How did you knock me out just now?"
Sisi gave the old man a smile. "I am a thousand-year-old fox demon, and I know demonic arts."
The old man didn't believe him. "Do you have a hidden weapon?"
Sisi glanced at the old man. "I don't use that kind of thing. It's a joke compared to the magic of our fox clan."
As soon as Sisi finished speaking, Fengchan came over carrying a tray with two steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, a small dish of pickled vegetables, and a pair of chopsticks on it.
When the old man saw Feng Chan arrive, he immediately pointed at Si Si and said, "Your daughter has a hidden weapon on her."
Feng Chan's eyes widened instantly. "You bullied my daughter?"
Old man: "..." It was your daughter who bullied me, okay? "No. I just wanted to play a joke on your daughter, and she knocked me out."
"How can a child tell if you're joking or really going to do it? Are you going to eat it or not? If not, I'm taking it away."
"Eat." In order not to arouse suspicion, he really hadn't eaten for three days, and he had been surviving on pills for the past three days.
Feng Chan placed the tray on the stone table in the courtyard. "Come and eat quickly."
As the old man walked toward the stone table, he said, "Your daughter really does have a hidden weapon on her."
"You're talking nonsense. My daughter is protected by a deity."
You're talking nonsense, you and your mother are both talking nonsense.
The old man sat down on the stone bench, took a steamed bun, and took a big bite.
How did the Yun family end up with such two people?
Aren't the Yun family members all kind and gentle people?
The old man ate while glancing at Sisi and Fengchan.
Feng Chan glared at the old man. "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I won't give you any more food."
The old man dejectedly looked away.
Seeing that the old man was no longer looking at them, Feng Chan asked softly, "Girl, who is this old man?"
Sisi replied softly, "The Lin family's ancestor."
"The Lin family? The one that runs the clinic?" The Lin family that runs the clinic is quite famous in Jinchao. It's said that there's a Lin family clinic in almost every slightly prosperous area. There was also a Lin family clinic in the county town where they used to live, and she had gone there to see a doctor and buy medicine there.
Sisi nodded.
Feng Chan stole a glance at Old Master Lin. "Does he owe your great-grandfather a favor?"
"Yes. Twenty years ago, someone wanted to swallow up the Lin family and set a trap for them. Old Master Lin had nowhere to turn and went to my great-grandfather. My great-grandfather withstood the pressure and helped him find out the truth of the matter. If it weren't for my great-grandfather, the Lin family would have been gone long ago."
"Your great-grandfather was such a good man. Did he come to repay a debt of gratitude?"
"Yes. The Lin family has run so many clinics and done business for so many years that they are familiar with people in this industry. Even if my great-grandfather didn't write to him, he would still know from others that our family wanted to get into the medicinal herb business and that our family was looking for talent in this field."
"Then why didn't he just come to their door?"
"He was probably afraid that my great-grandfather would refuse, and that it would bring trouble to the Lin family. I guess the Lin family may have already announced that their ancestor has passed away peacefully."
Feng Chan glanced at Old Master Lin again. "It's really hard on him, pretending to be a beggar at his age. What do you plan to have him do?"
"Watch the door."
"Isn't it a waste to have someone work as a gatekeeper?"
