Faced with her energetic attitude, Lin Xiao gripped the wheels of the wheelchair tightly and said, "Okay."
Seeing Lin Xiao's serious expression, He Zhilan's eyes also filled with tears. "Qi Xia, thanks to you, we really want to thank you..."
"Hey! We're family, why be so polite?" Lin Qixia waved her hand, telling her to stop.
Lin Xiao looked at his second sister and sighed, "My second sister is becoming more and more capable."
The fact that she could create something like this speaks volumes about her intelligence.
If I had known she had such talent, I should have supported her sooner. How could I have stopped her?
Lin Xiao recalled that he had previously lost his temper with Lin Qixia because she had gone up the mountain alone, and he felt a little regretful.
"Xia'er, you can do whatever you want from now on, your big brother will never stop you." Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said firmly to Lin Qixia.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qixia's eyes widened: "Really? That's wonderful!"
She never expected her older brother to agree with her like that.
Since he said that, there will be fewer obstacles in the things I need to do next.
Lin Jiudong watched them quietly from the side, seeing how happy they were.
She looked puzzled: "Can these things really make my brother's leg better?"
Clearly, she didn't understand why her older brother and sister-in-law thought so highly of what Lin Qixia had done.
It's just a bunch of wooden frames and a broken chair.
"You'll find out when the time comes," Lin Qixia replied.
Lin Jiudong rolled her eyes at her, not believing it.
However, this time she learned her lesson and didn't continue with her sarcastic remarks.
She simply planned to patiently wait and see Lin Qixia fail, so she could laugh at her.
...
After that, Lin Xiao exercised in the yard at the same time every day.
Many villagers passed by during this time and were surprised to see him: "Oh, is Brother Lin really using the things your second sister made for you?"
"Will this really make things better? Your second sister isn't joking with you, is she?"
"You actually believe she can cure you with these things?"
Lin Xiao stopped what he was doing, his eyes sweeping sharply over the man, his whole being exuding violence.
Even though he was disabled, he still looked like he might rush over and attack someone.
The man immediately fell silent.
Lin Xiao then coldly retorted, "I'm naturally willing to believe what my second sister does; it's none of your business to interfere!"
"Alright! Brother Lin, you can do whatever you want."
As he spoke, the man turned around and muttered under his breath, "At this rate, it won't get better even if we struggle for ten thousand years!"
Not only him, but many villagers who passed by and saw that scene in the Lin family's courtyard all had the same attitude.
Even Zhang Dazhuang, the neighbor, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the scene in the Lin family's yard: "That kid Lin Xiao is pitiful. He can only live on this little bit of hope."
“Yes,” Li Shufen echoed, “Although Xia’er means well, her older brother’s situation… who knows what will happen in the end.”
Given his temper, if things don't get better later, will he directly take action against Qi Xia?
She'll have to be careful to persuade her then!
Despite the villagers' lack of confidence in him, Lin Xiao still insisted on rehabilitation every day.
Only he himself knew that his body was slowly improving with each workout.
Lin Qixia was always happy to see him getting better and better.
"I haven't been to the mountain for many days, and we're almost out of food at home." Lin Qixia got up early that day and carried a basket on her back.
After leaving the village, Lin Qixia noticed that the surrounding area was different from usual.
"Have you noticed anything wrong?" Lin Qixia asked Huo Yanqing, who was standing beside her.
Huo Yanqing: "It hasn't rained in a long time."
“Yes, it hasn’t rained in a long time, and the fields are all dry.” Lin Qixia frowned as she looked at the poor condition of the fields around her.
As expected, famine was still unavoidable in their area.
Originally, their place was close to the mountains, with high altitude and high humidity, which should have been better than the outside, but they still couldn't escape it.
"Let's go, we'll be back quickly today," Lin Qixia said to Huo Yanqing.
Huo Yanqing responded and followed her.
Lin Qixia didn't gain much from this trip up the mountain.
She searched in the mountains for a whole day and only managed to hunt a rabbit and a pheasant.
There wasn't much game to be found, nor any valuable herbs to sell.
"Looks like that's all for today," Lin Qixia said to Huo Yanqing. "Let's go back!"
"Wait!" Huo Yanqing suddenly gestured for her to be quiet, his expression serious.
Lin Qixia stopped in her tracks and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"There's someone here," Huo Yanqing said in a low voice.
As he spoke, he grabbed Lin Qixia's hand and pulled her behind a nearby bush to hide.
Lin Qixia was about to ask him who he was.
Soon, she saw several ordinary-looking men walking past on the mountain path not far in front of them.
They should have been ordinary farmers.
Now, however, they are all carrying machetes instead of farming tools like hoes.
"This Lijia Gou is really something!" one of them said proudly, weighing the heavy bag in his hand.
The leader was a young man with shifty eyes. "Of course we have some! I told you we wouldn't go back empty-handed this time. I inquired before we came, and Lijia Gou is the richest village in the vicinity!"
"Really? Then our harvest this time was too small. We should have killed a few more people and made more money!"
