The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 325 "Don't tell ghost stories, I'm scared"

Lin Shichang and Chen Yu were also stunned. When they heard Lin Zhao's question, their eyes were fixed on Lin Shisheng.

...New sister-in-law?

These three words popped into the couple's minds.

I wanted to comfort Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng, but I was afraid they would overthink things, and I was also afraid it would be inappropriate, so I decided to remain calm and wait.

"Oh? Look at me, I almost forgot. This is my friend's younger sister, Chu Ning. She'll be staying at our house for a while because of some things." Lin Shisheng didn't go into details yet.

He looked at Chen Yu, a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law."

"It's alright," Chen Yu said. "I'll go tidy up the house. Xuanxuan, Zhengzheng, you two come with me."

The two sisters glanced at Chu Ning discreetly, then obediently followed.

Chu Ning clasped her hands, which were gripping her luggage, in front of her and rubbed them back and forth. She looked at Lin Zhao and the others, pursed her lips, and said, "Sorry to bother you."

Lin Zhao didn't understand the situation and didn't know how to treat this person, but it's always right to treat guests with courtesy.

"It's nothing," she replied, then instructed Xibao, "Xibao, go pour a cup of brown sugar water."

Xi Bao glanced curiously at the person her second uncle had brought back, responded, and walked towards the kitchen.

Lin Shichang was stunned by the news that his younger brother had brought home a woman. He pulled him to the backyard and asked with a serious expression, "What's going on? Is that woman your girlfriend? Didn't you say you weren't planning on dating anyone else? You... you should have at least told us beforehand. What are Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng supposed to think...?"

Lin Shisheng gently raised his right hand to calm his elder brother's agitated emotions, his eyes filled with doubt.

"What do you mean, 'girlfriend'? What nonsense are you spouting, brother? I already said that she's my friend's sister. She ran into some trouble and came to the countryside to hide. She's not my girlfriend. I just want to earn more money to raise my daughter properly. I have no intention of getting married a second time."

He looked dazed. "Thinking back to the days when I had a wife makes me feel cold."

"Don't tell ghost stories, I'm scared!" Lin Shisheng said seriously.

Lin Shichang's gaze locked onto his eyes. "Really?"

"Of course it's true, I have no reason to lie to you," Lin Shisheng said. "Besides, with my parents gone, what kind of thing would it be if I brought my girlfriend home? She wouldn't even be able to beat me up!"

"It's good that you don't know," Lin Shichang said cryptically.

He punched Lin Shisheng on the shoulder, his voice low and displeased, "You bring a woman back to the village, even if she's not your girlfriend, people will say she's your wife. You're a man, so you don't care, but what if you ruin her reputation? Qiu Lian got involved with you, haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

"Big brother!" Lin Shisheng felt a jolt of pain as the needle struck his most painful spot. It's no exaggeration to say that if this wasn't his own brother, he would have turned against him.

"This is different!"

"Not to mention that I deliberately chose this time to come back, everyone in the village is eating, there's hardly anyone on the road. Even Anzi wouldn't let me bring his sister back to the village. He came with me, but something came up at home, so he just dropped us off at the door and left!"

Lin Shichang nodded, "That's alright."

"Go wash up, you stink!" He fanned himself and went back to the front yard to check on the children.

……

A certain room.

Seeing the two sisters remain silent, Chen Yu walked over and hugged them, saying softly, "Don't overthink it. I don't think that woman is the one your father found..."

Before the last words had faded, the two sisters looked up, their eyes filled with a burning tension and anticipation.

"...Really?" Lin Xuan's voice trembled slightly.

“Of course it’s true. You two can ask your dad for yourselves later if you don’t believe me.” Chen Yu laughed. “I know your dad. He’s not the type to act recklessly. If he were to bring a girlfriend home, he would definitely tell us in advance. The fact that he didn’t mention it at all means that it’s true, just like he said, that woman is his friend’s sister.”

Zhengzheng said, "She's a woman, it's so inconvenient for her to stay at our house. What if the villagers start talking nonsense?"

"Are you afraid the villagers will gossip, or are you afraid something might happen and you'll suddenly have a stepmother?" Chen Yu asked with a smile, looking completely at ease.

Zhengzheng lowered her head and remained silent.

Chen Yu patted her head and said, "Silly girl, don't overthink it. Things haven't come to that yet. Even if they do, there's nothing to worry about. I watched you sisters grow up, just like Xi Bao. Your uncle and I will never let you be bullied. Besides, you still have your aunt. Zhao Zhao loves you both so much. Even if she doesn't acknowledge her second brother, she won't let you suffer."

“Auntie,” Xuanxuan called out, her voice trembling slightly, “I’m still scared.”

The aunt put her arm around the little girl's thin shoulders and spoke even more gently, "Don't be afraid, you sisters have many supporters, you can rely on each one, there's nothing to be afraid of."

The fabric at her chest felt damp, and Chen Yu's heart sank slightly. She gently patted the little girl's back.

Zhengzheng has a strong personality and would never cry in front of others, even if she does. At this moment, she has no smile on her face and looks at her sister, whose shoulders are trembling slightly, with worry.

After tidying up the house, Chen Yu warmly welcomed the guests inside.

Chu Ning turned her head, nodded to her, and said gratefully and apologetically, "Thank you for your trouble, Comrade Chen."

Seeing that she was polite and not the arrogant type, Chen Yu's smile became even more sincere.

"No trouble at all. You're Shisheng's friend's sister, so you're practically family. Since you're here, there's no need to be polite. Just call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he left without saying anything more.

Upon learning of her second brother's relationship with Comrade Chu, Lin Zhao glared at him several times, "Second brother, you didn't even tell us beforehand. I thought..."

Hengbao added with a grin, "I thought she was my new aunt."

Lin Shisheng choked on the sugar water and said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're overthinking it! You'll only have three aunts!"

"Auntie, Third Auntie, Little Auntie, right?" Hengbao said proudly.

"Very clever," Lin Shisheng praised.

Thinking of all the good things he had brought back, he called out, "Drag the cloth bag I brought back over; there are some good things inside."

I casually dragged the big egg over.

Lin Shisheng opened it in a few quick movements and took out several exquisite hair clips.

“Xuanxuan, these are for you little girls. Please distribute them to your sisters,” he said.

He then took out a stack of military green fabric.

He said to Chen Yu, "Sister-in-law, didn't Da Dan and Er Dan want to wear green military uniforms? I don't have the ability to make real military uniforms, so you can use this fabric to make a set for them."

The two eggs were overwhelmed with joy, their eyes crinkling with laughter.

Surrounding their second uncle, they showered him with sweet words.

Lin Shisheng felt all his fatigue vanish. This was the life he loved, one that brought laughter and joy to his family.

Hengbao leaned closer, "Second Uncle, do we have any?"

"No fabric? I heard you two have small military uniforms, is that right?" Lin Shisheng asked.

"Yes." Yu Bao's eyes lit up. "Uncle gave them to us. Heng Bao and I are reluctant to wear them. We're keeping them at home. We'll wear them for our second uncle to see later!"

Big Egg exclaimed excitedly, his face flushed like the rising sun, "Is it the same as what my uncle and third uncle are wearing? That looks so smart!"

“It’s different. It’s a replica of a military uniform, almost identical to yours,” Lin Zhao said.

"That's good too!" Da Dan said contentedly, urging Chen Yu, "Mom, I want to wear this when school starts, can you make it for me?"

"Yes, I guarantee you two brothers will wear them!" Chen Yu said with a smile.

Before and after she gave birth to her third and fourth eggs, the first few eggs were very easy to take care of, and they even helped with housework, so she didn't have to worry about anything.

Even her mother said that marrying into the Lin family was truly a blessing!

Living a comfortable life, Chen Yu's heart became more open and magnanimous. Even though she had to take care of two more girls, she didn't mind. Her second brother treated Da Dan and the others well, and she was just helping to take care of the children as an afterthought. There was nothing to complain about.

Lin Shisheng not only bought military green fabric for the two eggs, but also yellow floral and dark brown checkered fabric, intending to make some spare clothes for the girls as well.

In short, everyone was taken into consideration, and no one was overlooked.

Chu Ning stayed quietly in the room, without disturbing the Lin family's reunion.

Thinking about what had happened to me, my heart sank as if I were being pulled into the sea, and all I could see was darkness, without a single ray of light.

She's twenty-five this year. She married her high school classmate when she was twenty. The two families were well-matched, and they enjoyed two years of happy life together. But... the winds in the county suddenly changed—

The man who pursued her back then but was rejected is now in power and is targeting her husband's family in every way.

Her in-laws, unable to withstand the pressure, changed from their former kindness to harshness and difficulty in getting along with her. Later, her husband also changed, treating her coldly and harboring some resentment.

What's worse, he actually brought that person she hated to her door and made her apologize to him. That person had taken advantage of her, but her husband and in-laws pretended not to see it.

In a fit of rage, she overturned the table, used shards of food to cut several people's arms, and then fled.

Her brother was worried that something might happen to her, so he sent her to the countryside to avoid trouble, saying he would come back to pick her up after things were resolved.

Chu Ning was anxious and uneasy, unsure how her family would handle the situation. Her eyes reddened, her throat itched, and she coughed.

She thought fiercely to herself that if anything happened to her family, she would rather die than let that family go.

Xuanxuan heard coughing coming from the guest's room. After hesitating for a long time, she told her family about it.

Lin Shisheng frowned, "What a hassle!"

Chen Yu glared at him, "What are you saying? If you promised to help your friend, don't say things like that."

“Exactly.” Lin Zhao also complained about her brother. “If you’re not willing to help, don’t agree. If you agree and then have second thoughts, in Dad’s words, it’s not the behavior of a gentleman.”

Lin Shisheng: "..."

“You don’t understand,” he said.

Lin Zhao chuckled.

"I didn't want to agree at first, because it would cause trouble for my family. After all, we don't have enough manpower at home, and my sister-in-law already has enough to do! But... I owe Chu An a favor, you know. He helped me get into the transport team, and now that he's asking me for help, I really can't refuse," Lin Shisheng explained.

He looked at Chen Yu apologetically, "I'm a man, and there are many things I can't get involved in. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yu interrupted him, "You're worried about that? What's the big deal!"

“Leave it to me!” she said.

"Since it's a friend who's trying to help you, you really can't refuse. Everyone encounters difficulties, and helping others is helping yourself. Don't worry about it, leave it to me. Da Dan is old enough to do a lot of things, there won't be any trouble."

Upon hearing that the Chu family had helped her second brother, Lin Zhao's opinion of Comrade Chu, who was staying at her parents' home, changed drastically, and she casually offered a prescription.

"This is a good cough remedy I learned from my brother. It's a dietary supplement and quite versatile. You can give it a try."

Lin Shisheng immediately said, "I'll go prepare the things."

"Once you get the ingredients, I'll stew it for Comrade Chu," Chen Yu said.

"it is good."

The matter of Chu Ning coming to the Lin family to avoid trouble passed without causing any disturbance in the Lin family or the Dongfeng Brigade.

This girl is nice; although she's just staying here temporarily, she's quite hardworking.

After calming down, he went outside and helped Chen Yu with various tasks. He didn't talk much, but he was efficient and easy to like.

Lin Zhao observed for a long time and realized that this Comrade Chu did not seem to have bad intentions, so he felt relieved and put the matter out of his mind.

In the afternoon, she took her four children to the Wei family's house.

Since they lived far away, Lin Shisheng drove them there in a large truck.

Yes, he drove the car back to the village.

"Is this against the rules?" Lin Zhao followed his second brother toward the village entrance.

"Pay for your own gas. What rules do we break? Everyone does it this way, no problem." Lin Shisheng tossed his slender figure, his strong arms bulging with powerful muscles.

He looked down at Hengbao, who was bouncing around, with a doting look in his eyes, "Hengbao also wants to drive a big truck, so let's take a look."

Hengbao's eyes lit up, "Second Uncle, you're amazing! You're the most amazing uncle in the world!"

How could Lin Shisheng not be pleased?

My nephew has four maternal uncles, and other random uncles as well. If I admit that he is the best, he'll be so proud of himself!

Song Yuncheng & Song Yunjin: (;￢＿￢) Who are you calling a mess?!

The cart was very tall, and it wasn't easy to get on. Lin Shisheng carried all four children up, while Lin Zhao used the support to climb up on her own.

With so many people, the front passenger seat couldn't fit many, so Lin Zhao took Yu Bao and the twins to sit in the back of the car.

This was also the first time she had seen her second brother's car.

The cockpit had a strong, unpleasant smell that made me dizzy.

"Second brother, I'll make you some refreshing sachets when we get back today. Hang them in your car to freshen up any smells."

Lin Shisheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll pick it up tomorrow."

As the car started moving, people in the back could hear the cheerful voice of a child in the passenger seat.

"Second Brother," Yao Bao said in a soft, cute voice.

"Yes, your second brother is in the passenger seat. You'll see him when you get to your aunt's place." Lin Zhao pulled the twins into her arms, worried that the road was too bumpy and the children might bump into something.

"Yu Bao, hold on tight too, be careful not to fall," she reminded him.

Yu Bao sat on the soft burlap sack, gripping whatever she could hold tightly with both hands, and nodded solemnly, "I know."

Because he was carrying his sister, nephew, and niece, Lin Shisheng drove very steadily and not very fast. The warm breeze brushed against his face, and he could smell the fragrance of wildflowers by the roadside. It was a rare moment of comfort.

This was the first time a large truck had come to the brigade where the Wei family lived.

This attracted all the children in the village to come and see what was going on.

Lin Shisheng is a generous and easygoing person who doesn't rush people. He just asks that people not be damaged.

The children came closer and looked at him with admiration.

Holding Lin Shisheng's hand, Hengbao proudly declared, "My second uncle! This is my second uncle!!"

"Your second uncle is really amazing," the unfamiliar little boy said.

Hengbao was very satisfied and proud.

Lin Shisheng had other matters to attend to, so he didn't stay long. He took Lin Zhao and the others to the Wei family's house and made sure they had a way to get back on their own before driving away.

At the Wei family home, Da Shitou looked at Hengbao and asked, "I heard you were sitting in the passenger seat?"

"Hehehe." Heng Baole chuckled, still caught up in his excitement.

Little Stone laughed too, "Your second uncle is so good to you, all the kids in our village envy you. My uncle is good to me too, we all have good uncles!!"
