It's almost time for lunch now, so it's about time for me to come back.

But hearing that there was no movement in the yard, I couldn't help but feel worried, wondering if something had delayed it.

Hearing Lin Yunchu's words, Lin's mother couldn't help but look outside the yard. Usually the head of the family should be back at this time, why is he so late today?

Mother Lin shook her head and replied softly, "It's already this hour, I think they'll be home soon. I'll go out and take a look."

As he said this, he wiped the water stains on his hands, brought the bitter vegetable and egg soup that Lin Yunchu had just cooked to the main room, and was about to go out to see if Lin's father and others had returned.

Lin Yunchu smashed two cloves of garlic, chopped them up and stir-fried them with sauerkraut. Although there were no seasonings, the taste was still quite fragrant. It would have been even better if there were chili peppers, as the sour and spicy taste was most appetizing.

After cleaning the pot, I turned off the fire, scooped a few scoops of water into the pot to warm it up, and used it to wash the dishes after dinner.

Lin's mother left the house and was about to leave the yard when she heard a knock on the door.

"Knock down."

Mother Lin turned around and looked at Lin Yunshu in the kitchen, her eyes filled with surprise.

Who would come to their house in the middle of the day? If Lin's father and the others came back, they shouldn't knock on the door. Why are they asking who the outsiders are?

Just as Mother Lin was lost in thought, a clear voice came from outside the door: "Aunt, it's me, Cuizhi."

Hearing this voice, Lin's mother immediately felt relieved and quickly opened the gate. She saw a girl standing outside the door wearing half-worn clothes. The sleeves were a little shorter, as if the clothes were from many years ago and were a bit short.

I saw that she was holding a vegetable basket covered with a piece of gauze, and I couldn't see what was in the basket.

When the visitor saw the gate open, he immediately smiled and said crisply, "We've been busy with the fields these days. We just heard about Yun Chu's situation. Dad asked me to send some eggs and some food to nourish her."

After saying that, he looked into the yard, as if looking for something, "Where's Yunchu? Is she okay?"

The person who came was Lin Yunchu's cousin, Lin Cuizhi.

"Yunchu has been taking care of it for a few days and is much better now. You can take it home and eat it yourself. The old hen at home can lay an egg every day."

As Lin's mother spoke, she opened the gate and welcomed Lin Cuizhi into the house.

"No, just take care of Yunchu first. We have food at home, so don't worry."

Lin Cuizhi waved her hand, pushed the basket of eggs into Lin's mother's arms, and walked into the Lin family's yard.

Seeing someone coming to the house, Lin Yunchu tidied up the kitchen briefly and followed out to see who the visitor was.

As soon as Lin Cuizhi saw Lin Yunchu coming out, her pair of black eyes looked her up and down.

"Yun Chu, how do you feel now? Are you still dizzy?"

Lin Yunchu was stunned when she saw the person coming and pulling her to ask about her condition with such concern. She thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who this person was, but he seemed to be quite familiar with her and cared about her very much.

"Yun Chu, your cousin came to see you with eggs and food."

Cousin?

Lin Yunchu didn't expect that he had a cousin. There was no other house next to this house. Lin Yunchu really didn't expect that his cousin would come to see him today.

Seeing Lin Yunchu was in a daze, as if he didn't recognize her, Lin Cuizhi became even more angry and said angrily:

"It's all Li Lanxiang and Wang Erniu's fault. My family has been busy working in the fields these days, and we only come home after dark. We only heard about this yesterday."

After a pause, he snorted coldly and continued, "My father was so angry that he brought my eldest brother to our house and insisted that they come to apologize to Yun Chu. The girls of our Lin family are not so easy to bully."

Lin Yunchu was not only treated as a baby in her own family, but her uncle's family also favored her like their own daughter. How could such a weak and delicate girl be pushed down and fainted by two gossipy people in the village?

Hearing that Lin Yunchu had suffered such a great loss this time, they could not bear it. If the Li family and the Wang family could not discipline their daughter, they would ask the village head to come and judge the matter.

Lin Yunchu listened to the girl in front of him who claimed to be the original owner's cousin, speaking angrily, her words full of heartache and indignation towards the original owner, and instantly felt warm in his heart.

This is the feeling of being protected, and she likes her cousin's temper.

Not shy or pretentious, just genuine.

"We were so worried that day. Fortunately, Yun Chu woke up later. Otherwise, what would we have done?"

The Lin family was also extremely anxious that day. They were only concerned with taking care of Yun Chu and never thought of going to find the two families to argue. At this time, every household was busy farming in the fields, so they did not go to the Lin family's uncle's house to tell this matter.

"Don't worry, cousin. I'm fine now. I even cooked today. You can stay and eat with us. Dad and the others should be back soon."

Upon hearing Lin Yunchu's voice, Lin Cuizhi's face immediately filled with smiles. She lowered her voice and praised, "Yunchu made delicious food, that's really amazing. But I won't eat it today. I still have a lot of work to do at home."

Lin Cuizhi raised her hand and originally wanted to touch Lin Yunchu's head, but seeing that her cousin was only one year younger than her and was almost as tall as herself, she felt a little embarrassed, so she patted her hand and praised her face.

Lin Yunchu couldn't help but hold his forehead when listening to his cousin's words. How could this be like coaxing a child!

"Aunt, I'll go back first and tell Dad and the others that Yun Chu is fine, so they can rest assured."

After saying this, he seemed a little worried and reminded her again: "If you have any problems in the future, you must come to my house and tell me."

The Lin family members are a bit soft-hearted and never care about the losses they suffer. They can't just let go of such a big thing this time, otherwise others will think that the Lin family is easy to bully in the future.

After saying that, Lin Cuizhi turned around and quickly walked out of the Lin family's yard regardless of her mother's attempts to keep her.

Doesn't she know the situation of the Lin family? The whole family doesn't have enough to eat. If she stays to eat, won't the whole family have even less to eat?

Although the situation of every household is similar now, their family is at least a little better off than the Lin family.

After Lin Cuizhi walked away, Lin's mother lifted the gauze on the basket and looked at the things in the basket with a look of astonishment.

There was only half a basket of eggs in the basket, about ten in total, and half a bag of grains.

this.........

How could such a precious thing be sent? It’s not easy for anyone to have such a valuable gift these days.

Lin Yunchu was also a little surprised. He asked Lin's mother about the affairs of his cousin's family. After listening to Lin's mother, he learned the whole story.
