Lin Ru quickly grasped Bai Shi's hand, "Mother! Please don't say that. You are the smartest mother in the world. Otherwise, how could you have given birth to four such smart children like us?"
"The task I'm about to entrust to you is actually related to cooking."
"I stumbled upon some pepper and such and want to turn it into a dish to open a restaurant! However, none of my family members have any experience in this area, so I hope you can learn from Quan Jinyu!"
"And I have many other ideas, and I hope Mother can help me put them into action!"
"I will write all of this down before I leave!"
"I'm afraid that you'll be too busy and stressed, Mother!"
Upon hearing her daughter's words, a hint of insecurity appeared on Bai's face!
"You're entrusting me with such an important task, aren't you afraid I'll mess it up?"
"And I've never done anything like that before."
"Or I might as well stay home and raise chickens and rabbits!"
Lin Ru smiled and took Bai's arm. "I know your concerns! But who among us has ever done this before? None of us have done it before, right? It's our first time!"
"Even if it were handed over to someone else, it would just be practice. Why not hand it over to you?"
"You are the person I trust the most."
Looking into her daughter's trusting eyes, Bai felt a sense of being needed!
She's been here for so many days, and all she hears about is her daughter encountering all sorts of dangers outside, while she can't do anything to help!
The only thing to do is to be honest and not hold others back!
Although everyone in the group was very anxious, they were even more afraid of delaying their daughter's important business!
She asked, somewhat incredulously, "Really? Can I really do it?"
Lin Ru looked into her eyes and held her hand tightly. "I believe in you, and I need you! You are my mother!"
Bai's eyes immediately reddened! She grasped her daughter's hands in return!
He nodded vigorously!
"Yes! I can do it!"
When the Lin brothers saw their mother's eyes were slightly red, they felt a pang of sadness. They went to their mother's side and, just like Lin Ru had done, hugged her back.
Looking at the mother and her three children in front of her, Lin Ru felt an unprecedented sense of peace in her heart. Even the inner demons that often troubled her had now disappeared without a trace!
Once everyone had calmed down, the food in the pot was ready!
After a long time, they finally had dinner together again!
Looking at the chicken soup in front of her, she felt as if she had returned to the beginning. Bai Shi also remembered her predicament at that time and couldn't help but laugh out loud!
"Haha! Thinking back, I actually ate this whole chicken all by myself."
"Luckily, Ru'er made some pancakes on the side, otherwise you wouldn't even have a meal!"
"Were you terrified at the time?"
Lin Ru smiled and shook her head, "I wasn't scared! Being able to eat means I'm getting better!"
"And didn't we buy a lot more chickens later?"
Lin Bai sighed, "Yes! Looking back now, how could I have been so cowardly? I didn't even take on my own responsibilities, and I had to make my elder sister go out and show her face in public!"
Lin Mo: "But my elder sister is really amazing. She subdued those people in just a few moves!"
Lin Qing recalled the scene and cheered with a smile!
"Yes! That night was really exciting! I was even able to help!"
Bai was somewhat puzzled, "Which night are you talking about? I don't know about that."
The four Lin siblings looked at each other, and I suddenly remembered that when Bai Shi fainted, she had no idea what kind of good things they had been up to outside!
In the end, Lin Ru recounted what happened that night!
After they finished speaking, everyone looked at Bai Shi cautiously, because they suddenly remembered that their mother used to have a certain temperament and would probably scold them!
But to their utter surprise, Bai patted her hand in a fit of resentment, "Hey! I don't know what got into me back then, letting this family of beasts get the better of me. If I had known that there would be no one to help me when I was fleeing from the war, I should have just killed them all with a knife!"
"Every time I think about my past self, I feel like slapping myself!"
Lin Ru looked into Bai Shi's eyes and confirmed that she had said those words from the bottom of her heart!
So she took this opportunity to tell him that Lin Dali might still be alive!
The mother and her three children stared in astonishment, their mouths agape in disbelief.
"What you're saying is true."
"If he were alive, where would he be now?"
Seeing the four people in front of her so anxious and nervous, Lin Ru's smile faded, and her heart sank. She had already decided whether to kill Lin Dali first or throw these four people out and let them fend for themselves if they insisted on going to Lin Dali and accepting him back, despite the obstacles in their way.
If these four people keep arguing and insisting on going to find Lin Dali, she might not be able to suppress her inner demons. Moreover, the original owner's mother and younger brother should not have been alive in the first place. If she kills them now, it shouldn't be considered against the original owner's wishes!
Having spent so much time together, she might be feeling a bit hurt! She might most likely find it hard to bring herself to do it!
Just when she was struggling and feeling upset!
Unexpectedly, these four people became increasingly anxious!
The group said in unison, "Hurry up and tell us! Where is he? I need to find him!"
Lin Ru suppressed her anger, "What do you want with him? Haven't you forgotten the pain he caused us?"
Bai Shiteng abruptly stood up from his seat, walked to his bedside, took out a dagger from under his pillow, and angrily said, "Forgot?"
"I'll never forget this in my entire life!"
"Of course we should find him and kill him!"
"No! I swear I will tear him to pieces!"
"Why not just turn them into human pigs? I recently heard from Wu Juan that there's a form of torture that can cut off a person's limbs and tongue, but the person will still be alive!"
"I'll put him in a jar and let him suffer day and night, so he can experience my pain too!"
Lin Qing waved his chubby little hand and said, "Yes! He should be killed to make Mother suffer so much! I also heard from Sister Wu Juan that we can rub salt on his wounds every day and then ask a doctor to heal him!"
"Let him experience his mother's pain too."
Lin Bai and Lin Mo are older than Lin Qing. Lin Qing has never seen Lin Dali since she can remember, so she has no feelings for this unfamiliar father!
