"Mother, let's eat." Tian Ye'er turned her head and saw Yunxia taking the initiative to come out, and said to her.
Yunxia snorted coldly, "You good-for-nothing! You can eat it yourself." With that, she turned and went back into the inner room.
"oh."
Tian Ye'er lowered her head in disappointment and silently returned to the main room to sit down at the dining table.
She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of chicken, and slowly brought it closer to her mouth.
Snap!
The next second, Yunxia suddenly appeared and knocked her chopsticks away with a flick of her wrist.
"Mother!" Tian Ye'er looked at her with a wronged expression.
Yunxia said to her, "Wait a moment, who knows if Lin Xiao's second sister has poisoned you!"
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of meat, took a bite, and sat down beside her: "Watch your mother. If she has nothing else to do later, you can eat it."
"Mother..." Tian Ye'er pursed her lips upon seeing Yunxia's appearance, her heart filled with complex emotions.
So it turns out they were afraid of being poisoned to death.
Ultimately, her mother still cared about her. Tian Ye'er looked at Yunxia with a complicated expression.
After a while, Yunxia was still sitting there perfectly fine. She then raised her chin to Tian Ye'er and said, "Eat up, you're fine now."
This was real meat, so naturally she couldn't bear to throw it away.
Especially since her daughter hadn't eaten meat in a long time, she decided to test the poison on herself.
With Yunxia's approval, Tian Ye'er picked up her chopsticks and took another piece of meat.
She put the meat to her mouth, opened it, and took a bite. The tender, juicy, and rich meaty flavor made Tian Ye'er's eyes widen.
Tian Ye'er looked at Yunxia with delight and exclaimed excitedly, "Delicious! Mom!"
"It is quite delicious." Yunxia pouted, having to admit the fact.
The Lin family girl has excellent cooking skills.
The taste from the previous bite was still lingering on my tongue; I had no idea what seasoning she had added.
But it could also be because I haven't eaten meat in a long time, so I found this chicken particularly delicious.
Yunxia ruffled Tian Ye'er's hair: "Eat up, eat more."
"Mother, eat quickly too!" Tian Ye'er placed a piece of meat into Yunxia's bowl.
Yunxia hesitated for a moment, but still picked up her chopsticks.
The girl from the Lin family was right about something: even for the sake of the child, she couldn't continue like this.
...
After returning home, Lin Qixia kept thinking about what Yunxia had said about Lin Xiao causing the death of Tian Ye'er's father.
So much so that she was absent-minded and her face was heavy.
"What's wrong?"
Perhaps noticing this, He Zhilan asked her directly during dinner.
Lin Qixia glanced at He Zhilan and Lin Xiao, who was engrossed in eating, and said, "Tomorrow I want to help the Tian family check the condition of their land and see if we can save their crops."
Her words elicited varying reactions from the other members of the Lin family.
Lin Jiudong frowned: "Why do you care about them? Have you forgotten how Yunxia used to come to our door every day to curse our older brother?"
"How did you manage to save the Tian family's crops?" He Zhilan began to worry for Lin Qixia when she heard her mention this.
Lin Xiao, however, held a glimmer of hope in Lin Qixia's words: "Xia'er, are you really going to help the Tian family?"
Lin Qixia ignored Lin Jiudong's words.
Faced with He Zhilan and Lin Xiao's questions, he patiently replied, "Since the Tian family also had a problem back then, I think we should help them now that they are in a similar situation."
"As for whether their crops can be saved, I don't know right now. I'll have to go to the field tomorrow to check."
As she spoke, she looked at Lin Xiao and He Zhilan earnestly and pleaded, "It's about Aunt Yun. I don't know if I can persuade her. If she doesn't cooperate, I hope you two can help me persuade her."
Lin Qixia was more worried about this than whether she could successfully save the Tian family's land.
After all, Yunxia had witnessed Lin Xiao's resentment today.
She had a vague feeling that Lin Xiao was hiding something about this matter, which led to Yunxia's attitude towards them.
"Okay," Lin Xiao replied in a deep voice.
Seeing this, He Zhilan nodded slightly: "Xia'er's decision is correct. We should indeed... help the Tian family."
She was terrified when she learned that Lin Xiao and Tian Sheng had an accident while they were serving their corvée labor.
At that time, I prayed that the one who died would not be Lin Xiao.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao returned alive, but Tian Sheng did not.
At that moment, she felt a strange sense of relief.
He Zhilan felt guilty about this, especially whenever she faced Yunxia.
Therefore, after that, she deliberately avoided him, even though their two families had a good relationship before, and she and Yunxia were also good friends.
But because of this incident, they drifted apart.
Lin Qixia's decision today, in a way, also gave her an opportunity.
He Zhilan said, "What happened back then, whether it was luck or something else, led to Tian Sheng not returning while Xiao Ge survived and came back alive."
"We should all take good care of the Tian family."
Consider it her way of making amends to the other party.
He Zhilan still felt that she owed Yunxia something, and wanted to take this opportunity to do something she had always wanted to do but had not done because she was afraid to face Yunxia.
"You agree, right, Brother Xiao?" He Zhilan asked Lin Xiao again.
"Huh?" Lin Xiao had been lost in thought, but now that he came back to his senses, he looked at He Zhilan and quickly replied, "Yes, you're right."
"Then it's decided. I'll go to the Tian family's fields tomorrow to take a look," Lin Qixia said.
She needs to check the specific situation first before she can go find Yunxia.
Lin Xiao and He Zhilan both responded and agreed.
Lin Jiudong, standing to the side, pursed his lips, somewhat displeased.
