Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Song Ying chimed in, "That's right, Lin Dongzhe, don't you ever reflect on your own actions?"

"Fine, you're right, so you decide." Lin Dongzhe scratched his head and walked away, disappointed.

"Qingshu, Mom will make you something delicious." Song Ying was in a good mood and hummed a song as she went to the kitchen.

Lin Qingshu walked into the room and saw Lin Dongzhe reading a comic book. She raised an eyebrow.

Seeing her come in, Lin Dongzhe walked over solicitously: "Sister, let me pull out a chair for you."

He walked over to Lin Qingshu's seat and pulled out a chair for her: "It's alright, sit down!"

Lin Qingshu glanced at him, then sat down without saying a word and took out her homework to do.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Dongzhe said again, "Sis, are you thirsty? I'll go get you a glass of water!"

"Why are you being so helpful for no reason? Tell me what you want." Lin Qingshu then gave him a look.

Lin Dongzhe wanted to maintain his composure: "Hehe, it's nothing."

"If there's nothing else, then be quiet. I need to do my homework!"

"Hey, wait a minute, I just wanted to ask if you still have any money?"

"What?" Lin Qingshu's eyes held a dangerous glint.

Lin Dongzhe nervously swallowed and quickly explained, "I recently got some new comic books at the stall. I was thinking if you rent them, I could take a look too."

Lin Qingshu reads a lot of books, including comic books. After all, there were no phones to play with at this time, so reading was the only way to pass the time.

However, if he hadn't reminded her, Lin Qingshu wouldn't have been in a hurry to rent it to see, which is why Lin Dongzhe was so eager to say it.

Moreover, Lin Dongzhe felt that his sister was becoming more and more frightening. He was not afraid of anyone, but he was a little afraid of his sister.

Thinking of how Lin Dongzhe tried every means to make money and caused trouble everywhere in the plot, Lin Qingshu did not refuse, and it was a small matter: "Okay, no problem."

"Great! Now we have a TV at home, and we can read books too."

"Hurry up and do your homework, dinner's coming soon!"

"Okay, sis." Lin Dongzhe was so happy that he didn't find doing his homework boring anymore.

After the Lin family bought a television set, everyone started watching it.

Lin Qingshu looked at the small black and white television and felt a little uncomfortable, thinking the picture wasn't very clear.

However, at that time, any family that had a television was considered to be well-off, and everyone seemed to be watching it with great interest.

On a weekend morning, Lin Qingshu got up, took her toothbrush and toothpaste, and went outside to brush her teeth in the yard.

She moved slowly and deliberately, and soon Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting also happened to come out one after the other with their things.

Lin Dongzhe brushed his teeth quickly, clearly just going through the motions. Before the two of them had even finished brushing, he started rinsing his mouth.

"Try it again!" Lin Qingshu said, looking at him.

"I've already finished, do I have to do it again?" Lin Dongzhe tried to brush it off.

"I don't want to hear you yelling about toothache again before you brush your teeth."

With no other option, Lin Dongzhe squeezed out some more toothpaste and came back to brush his teeth carefully once more.

He was about to leave after brushing his teeth when Zhuang Xiaoting quickly stopped him, saying, "You haven't washed your face yet!"

"I know, I'll wash right away."

Lin Qingshu thought that Zhuang Xiaoting often watched Lin Dongzhe wash his hands after using the toilet, and felt that it would be better for this guy to grow up quickly so that Zhuang Xiaoting could take care of him after the two of them got together.

After breakfast, Lin Qingshu read a book in her room.

While Lin Dongzhe went to the restroom, Song Ying smiled and handed a pretty dress to Lin Qingshu, saying, "Wear this new dress, and I'll take you, your Aunt Huang, and Xiaoting out to eat today."

"Thank you, Mom, this dress is beautiful!"

"If you like it, that's fine. Girls should dress up nicely. Go change now."

Lin Qingshu didn't ask the others if they were going or not. It was a plot point, and they didn't bring anyone else. She took the dress and went to her room to change.

"Your Aunt Huang and I will go first, you and Xiaoting will follow later," Song Ying said as she opened the door from the outside.

Lin Qingshu nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

After Song Ying and Huang Ling left, Lin Qingshu went out and walked to the next room: "Xiaoting, come for a walk with me."

Sometimes when she gets tired of doing homework or reading, she will go out for a walk, so it doesn't seem out of place.

Zhuang Xiaoting quickly stood up: "Okay, I'll take a break too."

As soon as the two stepped out the door, they saw Lin Dongzhe returning from the restroom. He casually asked, "Where are you two going? Zhuang Xiaoting, can I borrow your book to read?"

Lin Qingshu immediately whispered in Zhuang Xiaoting's ear, "Make him wash his hands, otherwise he'll start to suspect you!"

Hearing her say that, Zhuang Xiaoting quickly said, "Lin Dongzhe, have you washed your hands? You can only see it after you wash your hands. The book is on the table, you can get it yourself later. I'll go for a walk with Qingshu."

"I'll go wash my hands now. Or I can come back and check. I'll go with you guys," Lin Dongzhe said.

"Why are you following us girls when we go out?" Lin Qingshu said, and Lin Dongzhe didn't dare to say anything more.

"Alright then, we'll wait for you to come back."

Zhuang Xiaoting said worriedly, "Wash your hands before we leave."

Lin Dongzhe could only obediently go wash his hands: "Is that okay?"

"Let's go." Lin Qingshu pulled Zhuang Xiaoting away.

Upon arriving at their destination, they each ate a bowl of noodles and returned home satisfied.

Fortunately, Lin Dongzhe hasn't noticed anything wrong yet, otherwise there would be more trouble.

When it was lunchtime, Song Ying and Lin Qingshu ate very little, so Lin Dongzhe asked, "Aren't you hungry today?"

Lin Qingshu and Song Ying exchanged a glance, and she said, "You eat yours. We ate a lot this morning and just had some candy, so we don't have as good an appetite as you."

Song Ying brought back maltose, and everyone ate it, but Lin Dongzhe is now a teenager and eats a lot, so that little bit of candy wasn't even enough to fill his teeth.

Lin Wufeng glanced at the two of them and understood what was going on. He didn't think much of the mother and daughter's extra meal.

Not noticing anything wrong, Lin Dongzhe continued eating, saying, "You guys have pretty small stomachs."

"If everyone ate as much as you, our family would go broke," Song Ying jokingly teased.

"How can I grow tall if I don't eat more!" Lin Dongzhe didn't think there was anything wrong with eating a lot.

Seeing his expression, all three of them couldn't help but smile.

A new friend joined the Zhuang family: Xiang Pengfei, Zhuang Tunan's cousin, who came from Guizhou.

Lin Dongzhe, who loves to join in the fun, naturally went to talk to someone as soon as he heard the news.

Knowing that the two of them were together, Lin Dongzhe now had a mischievous companion. Both of them were naughty, and Lin Qingshu followed along as well.

"So you're Tu Nan's younger brother? I heard you're from Guizhou? What's fun to do in Guizhou?" Lin Dongzhe greeted him warmly.

Xiang Pengfei, who was staying at his uncle's house, was still a little uncomfortable. Upon hearing this, he said, "Harvesting corn, going to the market, catching dragonflies, chasing trains."
