The Bad Girl's Quick Transmigration System: Traveling Back and Forth

Chapter 616 Lin Wei and her husband’s close relationship

That night, Lin Wei and her team members stayed at Uncle Zhang's house for a long time until Uncle Zhang came to his senses and tearfully promised Aunt Zhang that he would never drink or hit anyone again. Only then did they leave.

"Since then, my husband has really stopped drinking." Aunt Zhang smiled with satisfaction. "At first, he was very uncomfortable and worried, but Miss Lin Wei found him some sobering herbs and asked the team members to help him work in the fields, play chess with him, or chat with him whenever they had free time to distract him. Gradually, his alcohol addiction subsided."

"What's even more remarkable is that he really stopped hitting people. Sometimes when he got angry and wanted to lose his temper, as soon as he saw me or the children, he would force himself to hold it back, run around the yard for a few laps, or chop some firewood, and then he would be fine. Later, he even took the initiative to help me with farm work and rushed to do all the heavy work around the house."

Aunt Zhang became happier and happier as she spoke, her voice rising. "Look at me now. He'll do whatever I want, whatever I want to eat or wear. The children are even more open to him, and the relationship between father and son is incredibly good. A while ago, when I was sick, he ran dozens of miles up the mountain to the town to get medicine for me, and even stayed by my bedside at night. If it weren't for Miss Lin Wei, I wouldn't be able to live such a good life!"

She wiped away the tears of laughter and said, "That's why I said that Miss Lin Wei not only saved me, but also saved our entire family! She made me realize that women are also human beings and can live with dignity!"

When Aunt Zhang finished her story, there were sighs and lamentations all around. The young wives' eyes lit up as they listened. It turned out that women really didn't have to endure such hardship.

"Yes, Miss Lin Wei and the others also care about the children in our village." Uncle Wang, who had been silent until then, cleared his throat and spoke. His cloudy eyes flickered with nostalgia, "Especially Little Shitou... Alas, that child had such a hard life."

The name "Little Stone" was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in the hearts of the villagers.

Uncle Wang said slowly, "Little Stone's parents were killed by bandits in the mountains. In those days, there was chaos and war, and bandits were rampant. Little Stone was only five years old, and he became an orphan overnight. The villagers had to help carry his parents' bodies back and bury them."

"That child has become silent since then. He wanders around the village all day in rags so dirty you can't tell the color. He begs for food from one house and soup from another. At night, he curls up in the dilapidated temple at the entrance of the village. No one cares about him, no one asks about him. He's like a wild grass with no one to love him. Most villagers can't even take care of themselves, so who can take care of an unrelated orphan for a long time? I feel sorry for him, so I occasionally give him a few steamed buns and teach him to recognize a few words. But my family is not well off, so it's really... Alas!"

Uncle Wang sighed and continued, "After Lin Wei and the others arrived, they quickly found Little Shitou. That day, Little Shitou was hungry and cold, and fainted on the roadside at the entrance of the village. Miss Lin Wei was the first to find him. She quickly took the child back to the warehouse where they lived, had the female soldiers clean him up, and changed him into a clean old military uniform (although it didn't fit, it was at least warm). She also made him some hot porridge and fed him mouthful by mouthful."

"After Little Shitou woke up, he looked timid and wary of everyone. Miss Lin Wei wasn't anxious either. She stayed with him every day, telling him stories and teaching him songs. The female team members also took care of him like a little brother, giving him first priority when they had something delicious to eat and covering him with a blanket at night."

"Miss Lin Wei saw that he was smart, so she decided to teach him to read and write. She said to me, 'Uncle Wang, this child can't be ruined like this. He needs to study and become educated. Only then can he have a promising future and stop being bullied.' So they cleared out a space in the warehouse, used mud and stones as a blackboard, and branches as pens, and taught Little Stone and several other poor children in the village who couldn't afford to go to school to read."

"Ms. Lin Wei taught them personally. She had a beautiful voice and told stories with vividness. She taught the children to recite 'Man is born good' and 'Men and women are equal, all people are equal.' She taught them to write their own names and to learn about the world outside the mountains."

"Little Shitou was very reserved at first and didn't dare to speak. Miss Lin Wei patiently encouraged him: 'Little Shitou, don't be afraid, read aloud. Look how well you read.' Gradually, Little Shitou became more talkative, and his eyes lit up. He treated Lin Wei as his closest relative, calling her 'Sister Lin Wei, Sister Lin Wei' all day long, running after her like a little tail. Wherever Miss Lin Wei went, he followed."

"Sister Lin Wei taught me how to write!" "Sister Lin Wei told me stories!" "Sister Lin Wei took me to the mountains to pick wild fruits!"... When talking about Sister Lin Wei, a rare smile would appear on Xiao Shitou's face. It was a smile that came from the heart, full of trust and dependence.

Everyone in the village said that meeting Lin Wei was a blessing that Xiao Shitou had accumulated over several lifetimes. Since following Lin Wei and the others, the child had truly become a child, with a smile on his face, and he could cry loudly and laugh freely.

"What a shame, the good times didn't last long." Uncle Wang's voice dropped to a low note, thick with regret. "Lin Wei and the others stayed in the village for less than two weeks before they had to go and wipe out the bandit 'Black Wind Demon'."

On the day of their departure, the weather was a bit gloomy. The villagers spontaneously came to the village entrance to see them off. Men, women, young and old, filled the entire alley.

"Miss Lin Wei, can you please not leave?"

"Yeah, stay a few more days!"

"If you leave, who can we turn to if we have any problems?"

The villagers held the team members' hands, reluctant to leave, and some women even wiped away tears. The team members' eyes were also red. They had paid sweat here, and also gained true love.

Lin Wei said goodbye to each villager one by one, thanking them for their care. She walked over to Aunt Zhang and said with a smile, "Aunt Zhang, don't worry. Brother Zhang is a good man. Your life will get better and better. Remember, stand up straight and be a good person!" Aunt Zhang choked up, unable to speak. She just nodded and handed Lin Wei a bag of pickles she had made.

When Lin Wei walked up to Uncle Wang, he bowed deeply and said, "Miss Lin Wei, on behalf of the people of Qingyufang, thank you! You bring not only new laws, but also hope!" Lin Wei quickly supported him and said, "Uncle Wang, you are too kind. This is what we should do."

Finally, Lin Wei walked up to Xiao Shitou.

Little Stone was wearing the new clothes Lin Wei had made for him (made from confiscated fabrics). His eyes were red as he tried hard to hold back his tears. But when he saw Lin Wei coming over, he couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears like a wounded little animal.

He rushed forward, hugged Lin Wei's legs tightly, and cried, "Sister Lin Wei! Sister Lin Wei! Don't leave! Please stay and be my sister, okay? I don't want you to leave! Wuuuuu..."

Lin Wei's heart suddenly tightened. She squatted down and hugged Little Stone tightly in her arms, her eyes red. She patted Little Stone's back gently, choking with sobs, and said, "Little Stone, be good, don't cry, don't cry... Sister can't bear to leave you..."

"Then don't leave!" said Little Stone crying!

Lin Wei shook her head, tears falling onto Little Stone's hair. "Little Stone, I can't stay away. I have a mission."
