"Dad, when can I become a daughter of an official family?"
Lin Shiyu's sudden voice startled Lin Anru, and the ink on the tip of the pen almost dripped onto the paper.
Fortunately, he was quick enough to block it with his other hand, otherwise today's copying would have been in vain.
He put down the paper and pen in his hand before turning to look at his daughter.
He didn't answer Lin Shiyu's question, but asked with concern: "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
He is twenty-eight years old and a father of two children. He is no longer a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.
He is no longer at the age to act impulsively out of passion. Now he has to consider his wife and children more.
Therefore, even if he wanted to continue with the imperial examination, he had to give it up. Although it was a pity, he did not regret it.
Lin Shiyu touched her flat belly and nodded. She was really hungry.
I only had porridge for two meals a day, and there was no oil or water, so I got hungry very quickly.
Seeing her nod, Lin Anru hurried to the small stove and brought the hot porridge.
That small stove was unique to their third room and was bought specifically for making medicine for Liu.
Lin Shiyu, who hadn't brushed her teeth, drank a large bowl of porridge under Lin Anji's gaze. In an instant, she felt full of energy.
As for the awkward thing of not brushing her teeth, she put it behind her mind.
The entire Lin family has no awareness or habit of brushing their teeth.
Lin Shiyu couldn't possibly go to the kitchen and steal salt to wash the dishes. If she really did that, her grandmother would beat her to death!
So she could only bear it for the time being and wait until she had money to buy salt and scrub it properly.
Anyway, she is still young and her baby teeth haven’t grown yet, so there is still time!
After eating and drinking her fill, Lin Shiyu saw her father preparing to continue copying the book, and couldn't help but continue with her previous topic.
"Dad, when can I become a daughter of an official family?
Hearing her ask the question again, Lin Anru turned around and looked at her seriously.
Seeing her determined attitude of "breaking the casserole pot and getting to the bottom of it", she felt a little helpless and asked:
"Why do you want to be a government lady?"
Lin Shiyu pretended to think for a moment before speaking: "Because as long as I am a daughter of an official family, no one will steal my things, and no one will bully me."
When Lin Anru heard her answer, she thought that this idea came from Lin Bo because he had just snatched her eggs yesterday, and she didn't think there was anything strange about this idea.
If any other child in the family said that she wanted to be a daughter of an official, he would find it strange, but that person was Lin Shiyu, his daughter, so this question was not abrupt.
Just because Lin Shiyu lived with her grandfather for the first six years.
Her grandfather was a lame doctor, but he had always been a student before he became a doctor. However, when he got older, he still had not achieved fame, so he changed his career to become a doctor in order to make a living.
"Brother Bocai has been punished. He won't dare to steal your eggs again. Next time you see him, stay away. Mom and Dad are at home, so they won't dare bully you."
Lin Anru comforted her, and seeing that she was listening attentively, she couldn't help but scratch her nose.
Lin Shiyu didn’t really like the intimate behavior of her father, whom she wasn’t “very familiar” with, and frowned a little out of discomfort, but she didn’t reject him in the end.
Lin Anru was in a good mood when she saw her daughter’s reaction!
When his daughter was first brought back from her grandfather's house, she ignored everyone and didn't allow anyone to touch her.
She would cry if touched, and would even rather squat in the corner than sleep with them. For this reason, he specially made a small bed for her to sleep in.
Thinking about how his daughter didn't refuse when he hugged her yesterday, and how she didn't cry when he scratched her nose just now, Lin Anru felt that all this was worth more than anything else.
Lin Shiyu tilted her head and looked at him: "Brother Bocai doesn't dare to bully me, but there is still Sister Shijie!"
Lin Anru frowned. What does this have to do with Lin Shijie?
He recalled everything that happened to Lin Shijie in the Lin family. It was hard for him to believe how his niece, who always walked with her head down and didn't even dare to speak loudly, could bully others.
"What did he do to you?" Lin Anru asked.
Although on the surface Lin Shijie would not bully his daughter, when his daughter said this, he only believed what his daughter said.
Lin Shiyu lowered her head and frowned, and what she said surprised Lin Anru.
"My sister pushed me into the water and she was watching from the riverbank. I called out to her to pull me up, but she refused and even told me to die!"
Lin Shiyu has always wanted to find an opportunity to talk about this matter. At least her parents should know about it so that they will be wary of the heroine, instead of remaining unclear until their death.
"How dare she?!"
Liu, who had just entered the room, was so angry when she heard what she said that she had trouble breathing.
Seeing that she looked like she was about to faint from anger, Lin Anru ignored her anger and quickly ran over to pick her up and sit down to help her calm down.
More than half a quarter of an hour had passed before Liu calmed down a little, but her heaving chest showed that she was still very angry.
She thought her daughter falling into the water was just an accident and never considered it as a human factor.
Her Yu Ge'er felt so guilty about this incident that he thought he had not taken good care of his sister and that was why she fell into the river that he was afraid to appear in front of his daughter.
Even when he went back to his room to sleep, he would sneak in when his sister wasn't looking.
Who knew! Who knew her sister Yu was actually pushed down by someone!
Thinking of her daughter's pale little face that day, she now wanted to tear that bitch Lin Shijie's mouth apart.
"Why did Lin Shijie push Yu Jie'er into this?" Lin Anru couldn't understand her motives, and had never thought that she was so vicious.
Liu thought her husband was making excuses for her niece and couldn't help but glare at him.
