Lai Fu's heart, which had been dead for so long, suddenly leaped into his throat.
If something like this happens right under his nose, Lin Wanyue will definitely not let him off the hook!
Moreover, it can't reach out to rescue people; doing so would not only fail to rescue them but would also make Lin Weiming even more unlucky.
Liu Junlan and Lin Wanyue were also very nervous, staring intently at Lin Weiming.
Lin Weiming himself wasn't too frightened. He reacted quickly, and the moment he fell backward, he did a somersault and landed steadily on the ground.
"Daughter, don't be afraid! Daddy's fine, isn't he? Why are you so scared?" Lin Weiming squatted down in front of Lin Wanyue with a smile. Seeing his daughter's pale face, he quickly comforted her.
"Phew..." Liu Junlan glared at him, "You're such a grown man, still teasing your daughter like this! You have no sense of restraint. If you really scare her, I'll beat you to death."
When Xuefu came out of the kitchen, she patted her chest, looking both relieved and resentful.
"Mother, I didn't do it on purpose. The ladder suddenly broke. How was I supposed to know?" Lin Weiming explained in his defense.
Xuefu was a meticulous person. After checking it over, she nodded and said, "It really is. This ladder has been used for a long time and is quite rotten. Fortunately, it was Weiming who went up and he was alright."
Lin Weiming: "..."
Waaaaah, my wife is so cruel!
The rest of the family thought the ladder was broken, but Lin Wanyue knew it was because Lin Weiming had accidentally bumped into Laifu and was now plagued by bad luck.
She secretly glared at Laifu several times.
Laifu didn't dare look her in the eye, looking around nervously. Finally, with a face full of grievance and embarrassment, he said, "I didn't mean to, but why did you call me a mouse this morning?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyue became displeased.
She put her hands on her hips and stared at Laifu with her big, round eyes: "Kexi, you keep chewing and chewing, it's too noisy! It made my dad fall down."
Well... it didn't actually fall, did it?
Compared to others who encountered it, Lin Weiming was extremely lucky.
Lai Fu's eyes darted around, but he dared not tell Lin Wanyue what he had said.
Knowing that he would be able to eat so many delicious candies in the future, Laifu felt that he was a devil who could only bend and stretch.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have made noise while eating candy. I promise I'll change." Seeing that Lin Wanyue was still angry and not satisfied, Laifu quickly added more leverage: "Then I promise I'll guard the house well from now on. Not to mention mice, not even a fly will get near here!"
"..."
Um?
Lin Wanyue's eyes lit up.
She hadn't expected that Fu would be of such use.
Xuefu is clean and her family is poor, so rats and flies don't really want to visit the Lin family.
But those damned mosquitoes were different; they especially liked Lin Wanyue's delicate skin and would specifically target her to bite!
Lin Wanyue took two slow steps without saying a word, which made Laifu feel uneasy.
"Grandma, I promise I'll change! I'll do whatever you ask me to do from now on, and I definitely won't bother you." Lai Fu's face was full of ingratiating smiles.
Lin Wanyue nodded: "Then remember, from now on, you must take turns keeping watch with both eyes when you sleep!"
Lai Fu: "???"
I don't quite understand what you're saying.
"Okay, okay! I swear!" But this did not affect Laifu's promise at all.
He finally managed to keep his candy.
The ladder is broken, but the roof still needs to be repaired.
Lin Weiming then went to the Liu family next door to borrow a ladder.
The man from the Liu family was about ten years older than Lin Weiming. His name was Liu Guangzong, and he always considered himself the eldest brother.
Liu Guangzong brought over a ladder and handed it to Lin Weiming, but glanced at Lin Wanyue several times.
"Brother Liu, what are you looking at? Is something the matter?" Lin Weiming instinctively shielded his daughter behind him.
"Hehehe..." Liu Guangzong stroked his beard and said in a drawn-out tone, "Brother Lin, I wonder if you've heard some rumors circulating in our village lately?"
Lin Weiming's heart stirred. He had heard a lot about it, especially about Lin Wanyue.
There's little entertainment in the village, and the gossip is all about old, trivial matters. Lin Wanyue, being a little girl who's only been taken in a few days ago, is naturally the subject of endless gossip.
"I wonder what Brother Liu is talking about?" Lin Weiming pretended not to know, wanting to find out more.
"It's all just nonsense. What do you mean a little girl could have such abilities? I don't believe it. Besides, your girl doesn't look any different from other girls," Liu Guangzong said casually.
But who knew Lin Weiming would refuse?
He put the ladder aside, picked up his daughter, and said coldly, "Who said my daughter is no different from other girls?"
Liu Guangzong froze, his hand stroking his beard.
Then all that could be heard was Lin Weiming saying earnestly, "My daughter is the cutest in the world!"
She's different from other girls.
Even without a ladder, it wouldn't be difficult for Lin Weiming to climb the wall.
He stuck one end of the bamboo stick used for drying clothes into the ground, and then climbed up it. With the help of gravity, Lin Weiming jumped onto the top of the wall.
He worked very efficiently, and quickly tidied up the thatch on the roof.
"If only our family could earn more money, we could build a brick house," he sighed as he jumped down.
But now, let alone building a tiled house, his mother, Liu Junlan, has already gone to work in the fields with a hoe, and said that she would pick more wild vegetables when she came back at noon.
Lin Weiming asked his two sons to take care of Lin Wanyue, and then grabbed his second son to go to the fields together.
"Dad, can I stay home and play with my younger siblings today? I'd like to practice calligraphy with my older brother." Lin Zheyun also wanted to stay home and play with her younger siblings, and even used the shameless excuse of wanting to practice calligraphy.
Unfortunately, no one knows a son better than his father.
How could Lin Weiming not understand his son?
"Wait until you can straighten yourself out before you talk! Right now, you're just wasting the ink and brushes I paid for." He bluntly exposed Lin Zheyun's words.
"..." Lin Zheyun struggled helplessly and could only be led to the ground by his father.
Lin Wanyue watched the commotion for a while with her two older brothers. The three of them decided not to disturb their eldest brother, who was reading and practicing calligraphy, for fear that they would also be dragged by Lin Zhongyuan to practice calligraphy.
"Three pots, four pots, shall we go pick some fruit?" Lin Wanyue still wanted to take the opportunity to go up the mountain to enter the villa space and take out some things.
Lin Ziqiu and Lin Zihan didn't think much of it and immediately went to the kitchen to get small baskets. They said excitedly, "Shall we go together? The little fruits I saw a couple of days ago must be ripe and ready to eat now. We can't let anyone else pick them."
“Yes, I also know a place where there are mushrooms! I covered them with leaves last time, Grandma taught me that, so I’m sure I can still pick some now.” Lin Zihan slyly took his sister’s hand first.
