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

Chapter 328 "Of course!"

Lin Zhao went to the post office to pick up a letter, and on a whim, went to the transport team to find his second brother, only to learn that he had gone on a long trip.

He was so angry that he turned into a pufferfish.

He came to the Song family in a huff.

Seeing that his niece's face was rounder than usual, Uncle Song immediately understood. "Who offended you? Was it Lin Xiaoer again?!"

"Yes! It's Lin Xiao'er!" Lin Zhao said angrily, "He never tells me when he goes out on a trip, and he's gone for half a month or a month at a time. At least I should know where he's going! If I hadn't gone to the transport team, I wouldn't have known he had already set off!"

"Hmph, and I even gave him a refreshing sachet! Heartless! Lin Shisheng is a heartless bastard!!"

Song Yuncheng felt pleased.

It turns out his sister will yell at anyone when she gets angry, not just him!

Song Yunjin shifted his position closer to Lin Zhao, grinning as he said, "Sis, your little brother won't make you angry. Don't listen to those self-centered older brothers. I'll listen to you, and I'll tell you where I'm going. Don't be angry. Or should I go buy you some ice cream?"

"...Two! Different flavors!" Lin Zhao requested, as she had been walking too fast and was feeling rather hot.

"Okay!" Song Yunjin skipped out the door.

Song Yuncheng called out to him, "Buy one for me too."

The boy stopped and waited, clinging to the door.

After waiting for several seconds and seeing that his brother didn't respond, he rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not buying! I don't have any extra money!"

"Hey." Song Yuncheng laughed in exasperation, "Can't you be a little more generous to Song Yunjin?"

Song Yunjin replied, "No."

He looked at him with disdain. "You, who have a job, are taking advantage of me, who is a student. Don't you think you're going too far?"

Song Yuncheng disagreed, "My sister goes to work too."

"You also called her my sister!" Song Yunjin blurted out, "Can you compare to my sister?"

"I'm still your brother." Song Yuncheng felt heartbroken.

"My sister gave me a camera," Song Yunjin said with a smile.

"You were bought off with just a camera!?"

“Of course,” Song Yunjin said, a smile curving her lips. “The value of a camera is something everyone knows.”

Before the last word had even faded, she closed the door and ran downstairs.

"Lackey!" Song Yuncheng cursed angrily.

Lin Zhao glanced at him and said indifferently, "You're just angry because you're embarrassed."

“Sister!” Song Yuncheng’s voice rose at the end, “You’re my sister too! Stop always favoring Song Yunjin. He’s already so arrogant. If this continues, he’ll be riding on my head.”

Lin Zhao said, "I heard that every month when you get your salary, you buy Yun Jin a few rolls of film first?"

Song Yuncheng's face stiffened. "Who said that? I just..."

Before he could finish his denial, Lin Zhao interrupted him with a smile, "That's what my aunt said."

Aunt Song brought over a fruit platter and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's what I said."

Song Yuncheng: "..." Backstabbing from all sides!

He clutched his chest, his face blank, and leaned back.

Lin Zhao grinned and stuffed the biggest slice of apple into his mouth. "Look, don't say I'm biased as his older sister. Yun Jin doesn't get this treatment."

Song Yuncheng chuckled, laughing like a silly roe deer.

"She's not biased at all! My sister isn't biased!"

Uncle Song remained silent throughout, only speaking after his daughter Zhao Zhao had vented her anger: "Feeling better now? You didn't get angry for no reason, did you want to ask me about your parents?"

Lin Zhao smiled and looked over expectantly, "Yes, does Uncle know?"

"My parents always say we're just children and they never tell me anything. They must have told you, Uncle, about something this important, right? I want to know."

Uncle Song smiled and said, "You've got the wrong person. I really don't know this one."

"How could that be?" Lin Zhao hoped this was just an excuse.

“When have I ever lied to you? I really don’t know,” Uncle Song said. “Even your second brother was confused. He received a call from your mother at the last minute. She didn’t say a word of nonsense, just told him to drive to Haicheng to pick them up. I think something must have happened. I suspect it has something to do with your father’s family background.”

He had seen Lin Heling back then; he looked sickly, but his face was handsome, like a noble young master from a storybook.

Back then, he looked down on this pretty boy who couldn't lift a finger, but the girl was all about looks. She said she had her eye on him, and before he could react, she snatched him home and, using some unknown method, made him marry into her family.

Now, he went from being a picky brother-in-law to being the one in the wrong, and his attitude was forced to make a complete 360-degree turn.

Later, after hearing from knowledgeable people that her brother-in-law's accent sounded like that of Haicheng, it became clear that Lin Heling was indeed from a big city.

Because of this background, Uncle Song was able to answer some questions, but they were all based on his guesses.

Lin Zhao frowned. "I hope nothing bad has happened. They didn't explain clearly. It's really worrying. My second brother is the same. He drove to pick up Mom and Dad himself. Why didn't he call me?"

She can say unlucky things, but if she can fight, at least she'll have someone to rely on if they encounter robbers on the road.

Uncle Song had a reassuring and upright air about him, as bright as the sun and moon. "He guessed your reaction, so he didn't even dare to tell you. He ran away faster than a rabbit."

Lin Zhao: "Hmph."

"Don't be angry," Uncle Song said with a smile. "Shisheng can't refuse you. He'll definitely give in if you ask. But if he takes you with him, your mother will break his legs, and your father doesn't know what he'll do to him. He wouldn't dare say anything. Just wait. Before long, you'll be able to see your parents. You've been away from home for so long, it's time for you to come back."

His heart is too wild; it's really worrying.

When the couple had just left, he dreamed every day that they were being hung from a tree and beaten and verbally abused.

Lin Zhao was easy to coax, and her expression relaxed. "Okay, I'll listen to my uncle."

Uncle Song smiled, circles spreading across his eyes. He got up, walked to the cabinet, and took out a fragrant and soft sponge cake.

"Knowing you'd be coming, I had someone make this for you. It's your favorite sponge cake, so fragrant and soft. Have some."

Song Yuncheng said, "Great, great! No wonder you took flour, eggs and sugar with you when you went out. You were looking for someone to make sponge cake for my sister. Why didn't you make some mung bean cakes for me while you were at it? Your son is craving them too."

"We'll talk about it at the end of the month," Uncle Song said.

The family only had so little flour and sugar, not nearly enough to buy anything, even with his high salary.

Song Yuncheng glanced at Lin Zhao and said, "Sis, thanks to you, I'll send you a few when my dad keeps his promise."

“Sure,” Lin Zhao replied without hesitation.

Thinking of what she had brought, she dragged her satchel over and took out the contents.

"Uncle, here's some tea for you. This time it's top-grade Longjing. Try it first, and if you like it, I'll get you more. Aunt, here's some lip balm for you. You always feel your lips are peeling and dry, right? Use this; it's moisturizing, colorless, and only moisturizes. Try it..."

These days, tea is hard to buy; most of it is specially supplied. Even Uncle Song, a highly sought-after technician, can't get much. But thanks to Zhao Zhao, he's never short of tea.

Look, they've even started drinking top-grade Longjing tea.

Uncle Song was a cautious man. Even though he had plenty of good tea, he didn't show off in public, which prevented him from getting into any trouble. He gently rubbed Lin Zhao's head with his calloused hands. "Alright, I have to try it. I'm so lucky to have achieved tea freedom thanks to my niece."

Uncle Song truly believed this. He felt that his life had been quite smooth. Although his family was poor, he had a capable sister who could support his studies by hunting. He married a virtuous wife, his son was easy to take care of, and there were no troublesome relatives in his family. It was truly an incredibly happy half of his life.

Lin Zhao took her uncle's arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. "I'm even luckier. I have the best uncle in the world... and aunt."

Aunt Song's heart warmed; it was hard not to like Zhao Zhao. She never came empty-handed and was more considerate than her two sons.

"Zhaozhao, tell me quickly, how do you use this... lip balm? Is it really effective for my lips?" she asked.

She's been busy at the factory lately and hasn't been drinking much water, so her lips are chapped and even bled yesterday afternoon. Zhao Zhao's gift really touched her heart!
Lin Zhao walked over and personally applied the ointment to her aunt's face. "Just leave it like this. Apply it whenever it feels dry. Aunt, don't forget to drink water all the time. It looks painful."

Aunt Song smiled at her, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Uncle Song, who was making tea, exposed his wife, "How can she not feel pain? I wonder who was the one who was groaning and crying out last night, and didn't even dare to laugh."

Aunt Song, enraged and embarrassed, shouted, "Shut up!"

Uncle Song shrugged and shut his mouth.

Lin Zhao smiled and hurriedly tried to appease her aunt.

When Song Yunjin returned, she ate two pieces of sponge cake with ice cream. Suddenly remembering the letter she had just retrieved, she took it out of her bag and began to read it.

The letter was sent by Gu Chenghuai.

Judging from the timeline, it was probably written when she took the twins back to her hometown.

Lin Zhao quickly scanned the words on the paper, assuming it was the same as usual, just routine and concern. Little did she know she would see a message that left her speechless.

"The Yuan family..." The words "completely wiped out" almost slipped out.

Song Yunjin glanced at it tentatively, but couldn't see anything. She hesitated and said, "Sister, what's wrong? Can I take a look?!"

Lin Zhao handed him the letter in a daze.

After reading it in a few breaths, Song Yunjin exclaimed "Holy crap!"

"What's wrong?" Uncle Song put down his teacup, took the letter from his hand, and Aunt Song sat next to him. The couple began to read the letter.

Unable to contain himself, Song Yuncheng walked behind his parents and looked at them too.

"Hiss!!" He gasped, "Murder?!"

And... he killed three at once.

wrong.

There were four of them, and they didn't even spare themselves.

He was deeply shocked, and his face was very tense.

Thankfully, my cousin, whom I reunited with, got divorced!

"Thank goodness we got divorced, it was terrifying!" Song Yuncheng said, expressing his true feelings.

This was the closest he had ever been to the murderer. Even though he had never met Yuan Qin, he still felt a chill of fear, given their close relationship.

"Yes, that was so scary!" Song Yunjin, being inexperienced, was quite frightened, patting her chest with lingering fear on her face.

Lin Zhao said, "Who says otherwise? This news caught me completely off guard; it's so unexpected."

She didn't like Yuan Qin; her only impression of her was that she was quite ill.

It's unbelievable that someone like him would have a moment of "rise".

Unbelievable.

Uncle Song has seen a lot, including similar cases of women being oppressed too much and suffering tragic consequences.

He said, "They must have been driven to the brink. No matter who it is, as long as they are human, their patience is limited."

Aunt Song had also heard about Meng Jiusi's ex-wife and didn't like her. But when she learned that the woman was dead, all her resentment vanished.

She sighed, "If she weren't so foolish, how could she have come to this! Those kinds of family members should be cut off... It's such a pity for Jingmo and Guangbai, the two children."

With a murderer as her mother, what will she do in the future?

Uncle Song was affected, his chest burning with anger. "It's truly hateful! What did Jingmo and Guangbai do wrong that they have to pay the price for the Yuan family's actions? This will definitely affect their future. Jingmo said he wants to join the army, but how will he pass the political review? That path is completely blocked!"

He felt sorry for those two children; their lives were so hard!
Lin Zhao remained silent, quickly calculating something in his mind. Jingmo and Guangbai were not even ten years old yet, and there were still eight years until... the end. When the college entrance examination was reinstated, they would be too young to be in the first cohort, and the subsequent cohorts might not be as strict.

Unfortunately, she didn't know much.

“Maybe things will change later,” Song Yunjin said, not wanting to see her family looking so downcast.

Lin Zhao pinched his cheek, "You're right! I didn't expect Little Song to have such good taste, no wonder he's my brother!"

Song Yunjin grinned and said, "I heard it from someone else."

"That's fantastic! Some people would just laugh it off even if they heard it, and wouldn't take it to heart at all. The fact that you can say that shows you're thoughtful, which is impressive. With such keen intuition, I think you'd be very suitable to be a reporter," Lin Zhao praised.

Song Yunjin's eyes sparkled. "Sis, do you really think so?"

"Of course, no one is worthy of me lying to him!" Lin Zhao said arrogantly.

"Hehehe, I'll try my best." Song Yunjin clenched her right hand and cheered herself on, "I'll strive to give my sister another big reporter brother as soon as possible."

Lin Zhao patted him on the shoulder to encourage him and said, "We can consider Jingmo and Xiaobai's future later. They are still young. Let them enjoy their childhood freely first. Just like Yun Jin said, the world might change in ten years. Who knows?"

Many thoughts flashed through Uncle Song's mind. He nodded and said, "Yes, there's no use thinking too much now. There's always a way out. Their future won't be bad."

At worst, I can work as a factory worker in their factory.

He's a completely different person now; he still has that much ability.

The job he found for Zhaozhao was taken by someone else, which was a deep wound in his heart. After that, he paid great attention to building his own network of relationships.

Initial results are already visible.

……

Lin Shisheng didn't delay much and drove straight to Haicheng. There were other vehicles on the road besides his, including a transport team that traveled between the provincial capital and Haicheng. Traveling with a group of people made the journey more reassuring.

On the road, we actually encountered a group of robbers, about ten of them, armed with sickles and kitchen knives, who were quite fierce.

After a fierce struggle, the robbers were tied up, and the driver was mostly unharmed, except for one person who had a cut on his arm.

Lin Shisheng is quite capable in combat and stronger than the average person, so he deserves the credit.

Those who were initially reluctant to take him along immediately became full of admiration for him.

"Brother, if I had known you were this good at fighting, I would have asked you to join me! If I offended you before, please don't take it to heart. From now on, you're like a brother to me. Just tell me if you need anything!"

Lin Shisheng laughed heartily, "Alright, we're all in the same transportation team. Even though we're not from the same place, we're still in the same system. Helping each other out is only right. Don't worry about it."

His words made the drivers of the provincial capital's transportation team think that he was a really good person. They lost their distance and treated him like one of their own, sharing all the confidential information they could, which greatly benefited Lin Shisheng.
