The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

After being sick for more than ten days, Daya almost became unrecognizable due to weight loss.

After traveling through time for so long, Lin Zhi hasn't seen Daya so thin for a long time, and he was almost heartbroken.

She used to only regard the three children as objects of entrustment and thought of them as a burden. But unknowingly, these children have become important people in her heart.

Especially Daya, the child who has been with him for a long time, Lin Zhi has the strongest emotional ties to her.

The group could have left the post station earlier, but because of Lin Zhi's strong request, they were delayed for another half a month.

During the past half month, the most important thing was to take care of Daya's health.

However, the child’s most serious illness is in his heart. Until the knot in his heart is untied, it will be difficult for his body to recover.

The little girl, who was only about ten years old, looked worried, and Lin Zhi frowned when he saw her.

But she didn't take the initiative to mention what was in her mind, she just took more care when taking care of her.

No one knew what was troubling her that caused her to always have nightmares and cry in her sleep.

In order to let the child sleep peacefully, Lin Zhi was writing novels while watching the child during this period, and when Daya cried, he would go to comfort her.

Daya was awakened by the scene in her dream again, but this time she did not scream out loud, so Lin Zhi was not woken up.

There was only an oil lamp emitting a dim light in the small room.

Looking towards the direction of the light, Daya saw Lin Zhi, who looked much more haggard.

She bit her dry lips, feeling guilty.

When Lin Zhi woke up, he felt sore all over his body.

She was so tired these days that she slept on the table all night without realizing it, and her posture did not even change the whole night.

"Why don't you call me mom after you woke up?" Lin Zhi stretched halfway and found that Daya was looking at him with eyes wide open.

My eyes are big to begin with, and they appear even bigger now that I've lost weight.

Lin Zhi walked over and touched her head. Daya took the opportunity to snuggle into her arms and called her "Mom" with affection.

When Lin Zhi heard the word "mother", her heart softened. She hugged Daya tighter and said softly, "Are you having a nightmare again? Don't be afraid, mother is here."

Daya trembled slightly in Lin Zhi's arms. After a long while, she said with a choked voice: "Mom, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I have dragged you down and made you work so hard..."

Lin Zhi patted her back gently and interrupted her: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's only natural for a mother to take care of her own children. You, the most important thing is to get well soon, don't think about those unnecessary things."

Daya raised her head, her eyes red, and looked at Lin Zhi and said, "Mom, I... I have something hidden in my heart, and I have never dared to tell you, but these things are like big rocks, pressing me down so hard that I can't breathe, and I can't even sleep well."

Lin Zhi looked at her tenderly, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said, "Silly child, if you have something on your mind, just tell me. It will make you feel better. Maybe I can give you some advice."

Daya hesitated for a moment, and finally, she mustered up her courage and slowly said, "Mom, I always dream about those days in my hometown, those bad things, and... and the way Dad looked when he left. I'm afraid, afraid that we will go through such a hard life again in the future, afraid that you will leave me like Dad..."

At this point, Daya couldn't stop her tears from flowing.

Lin Zhi felt sad when she heard this. She hugged Daya tighter and comforted her softly, "The past is over. We are not doing well now. The most important thing in life is to look forward."

Daya did not respond immediately, but after a while she said: "But... that person is also in the capital, he has power and influence..."

Lin Zhi patted her head and said with a smile, "Are you thinking about these insignificant things and want to get sick?"

Her pale face turned red, and Daya lowered her head a little embarrassedly, and whispered: "Mom, I know I may be overthinking, but I just can't help being afraid."

Lin Zhi sighed softly, lifted Daya's chin with her hand, asked her to look into her eyes, and said seriously: "No matter how powerful that person is, mother will protect you."

Daya sniffed, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "Mom, but I'm still afraid...what if he knows we are here and comes to trouble us again?"

"Even if he really comes, we are not afraid of him." Lin Zhi pulled Daya to sit beside the bed and patiently explained to her, "We hid from him before just because we are ordinary people, but now we are different."

Daya looked at Lin Zhi steadily, and seeing the inexplicable light in her eyes, at this moment most of the worries in her heart disappeared.

"Let's not talk about the fact that Dalang and Erlang are very ambitious. They both became Juren, which is much more important than your dead father's illegitimate son." Lin Zhi didn't want to give Su Anping any face, so she said in a very disdainful tone: "Although your mother's status is low, but!"

"But what?" Daya asked quickly.

"But money talks. Low status is just the result of insufficient money."

Lin Zhi smiled and touched Daya's head, his eyes full of confidence, and then said: "I have money in hand now, I can buy a lot of property, and I have made friends with all kinds of capable people. Mother has the capital, so she is not afraid of anything."

On the surface, the man didn't dare to act openly.

As for playing dirty, Lin Zhi said that she has money and can find many people to play with him.

Daya listened, and the worry in her eyes lessened a little. She pulled Lin Zhi's clothes and whispered, "Mom, after hearing what you said, I feel more at ease, but I'm still worried that I will cause trouble for you."

Lin Zhi hugged Daya into his arms and said softly, "Silly child, no family is afraid of trouble. Besides, your dead father doesn't hate you the most, so he won't go after you first if he wants to deal with him."

Daya is just a little girl, and Su Anping disliked her before only because of his self-esteem.

Having been in the capital for so long, he must have realized, as written in the book, that nothing is more practical than profit.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have adopted Daya as a pawn in a marriage alliance as described in the book.

Daya nodded obediently, leaned in Lin Zhi's arms, and said softly: "Mom, I understand. I will not think about it anymore. I will take good care of myself and help you with things when I get better."

Lin Zhi scratched her nose and responded with a smile: "You are right to think so."

After talking it out, Daya's knot in her heart slowly untied, she smiled more often, and her body recovered faster.

Beijing, they are coming...
