Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister
Chapter 81 My Long-Lost Brother
Lin Shuyun went to pull the old man Xu who was punching and kicking her.
Old Xu glared angrily, "Girl, listen to your father! Don't be kind-hearted, this kid has shifty eyes and doesn't look like a good person at all!"
Lin Shuyun lowered her voice, "Old man, don't kill him, or you'll go to jail."
Old Xu immediately put his raised foot down.
Xiao Hong scrambled to her feet, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed, "Father, hit me! It's my fault for being unfilial. You think I'm dirty because I went to such a filthy place, so you have every right to beat me to death!"
Old Xu's fist hardened. "Damn it, who's your father?!"
Xiao Hong looked up blankly, her face frighteningly ugly. "Aren't you my sister's father? Of course you're my father too."
"I am Yun'er's godfather, godfather!"
Old Xu was furious and couldn't control his feet again.
"Father!"
Little Hong shrank back, sobbing, while looking at Lin Shuyun. She looked as pitiful as could be.
Jiang Changtian frowned as he looked at the man. "What's your name? Why do you think she's your sister?"
"My name is Xiaoqing." The man said with tears in his eyes, "I got separated from my sister. I was sold to a brothel to work as a prostitute. I finally managed to escape and find my sister."
"Little sister, I've finally found you! I'm your long-lost brother!"
Lin Shuyun: ...
"This person might be mentally unstable." Jiang Changtian pursed his lips, his brows furrowed deeply.
He had met someone who had the same disease, and they looked very similar.
Old Xu asked in confusion, "Mental instability?"
Jiang Changtian explained, "It means that he is somewhat mentally confused, and he will not remember some things or mistake people for others."
"A mentally ill person? That's dangerous! Should we report it to the authorities?"
Lin Shuyun stroked her chin and looked her over.
She was so thin and frail, no wonder she thought she was an underdeveloped girl last night.
Xiaoqing clung to Lin Shuyun's leg, sobbing uncontrollably, "Sister, please don't send me away. I'll do a lot of work, and I'll eat very little. I know it's dirty working in a brothel, but I've tried my best. I've never had a customer. Sister, please, I beg you, I don't want to go back to the brothel. I get beaten every day, I'm scared..."
"Little sister, please save your brother!"
Lin Shuyun: ...
Jiang Changtian felt a pang of pity and looked up at Lin Shuyun, "How about..."
Lin Shuyun sighed, "Fine, you can stay."
Xiaoqing immediately let go of Lin Shuyun's hand, looking at her with teary eyes, "Little sister, I knew you wouldn't dislike me!"
Lin Shuyun: ...
"Husband, you go study, I'll go make the pumpkin first." After saying that, she went into the kitchen.
"I've read the book today, I'll start the fire." Jiang Changtian followed him into the kitchen.
In the courtyard, Old Xu stared intently at Xiao Qing, looking her up and down.
"You little brat, I'm warning you, if you dare to try anything funny..."
"Godfather, I dare not." Xiaoqing shrank her neck, looking very scared.
Old Xu raised his hand, "Pah! How dare you call me godfather? Call me grandpa!"
Xiaoqing covered her head and cried, "Grandpa."
"You're a good boy, go and sweep the yard clean!" Old Xu said, sitting down on a chair in the yard. There was a little creature in the basket next to him. He drank a big bowl of tea and watched Xiao Qing work.
A glint flashed in Xiaoqing's eyes as she turned her back.
What is this person doing in this rural courtyard?
Could it be that they just look alike?
Lin Shuyun cut off half of the large pumpkin, steamed it, kneaded it into flour, steamed it into a pot of pumpkin cake, and also made an egg drop soup.
Dinner was pumpkin cake with egg drop soup.
At the dinner table, Lin Shuyun noticed that Xiaoqing was only drinking soup, so she gave him a piece of cake and said, "Have a piece of pumpkin cake."
"Little sister, you're so kind." Xiaoqing's eyes welled up with tears.
Old Xu snorted and turned his head away.
After the meal, Lin Shuyun noticed that his red clothes were covered in dirt and looked rather unsightly. After asking Jiang Changtian, she brought him one of Jiang Changtian's clothes.
“These are my husband’s old clothes. Please wash up and change into them.”
"Little sister, you've had a tough time too. Don't worry, I can embroider. I'll embroider to support you." Xiaoqing took the clothes, looking almost moved to tears.
Lin Shuyun's lips twitched; she didn't take the mentally ill person's words seriously.
Back in the kitchen, I looked at the remaining half-pot of pumpkin cake and five half-sized pumpkins and felt worried.
After thinking for a moment, I picked up a plate and brought it to my third aunt.
As soon as it got dark, my third aunt and her family sat in the courtyard to cool off.
"Is Changtian's wife here? Have you eaten yet? How are you and Changtian doing in the county?"
As soon as Third Aunt saw Lin Shuyun, she asked.
"I found a part-time job, and things are going well." Lin Shuyun handed the pumpkin cake to her third aunt. "My mother gave me these pumpkins, and I made them into cakes. There are too many, so these are for your little grandson."
"Grandma, I want to eat! I want to eat!" Auntie's grandson immediately started fussing.
Lin Shuyun gave him a piece of paper, and the child grinned.
Third Aunt took a bite and her eyes lit up. "Oh my, Changtian's wife, you're so skillful! This cake is so soft and fluffy, it could be sold!"
"Can we sell it?" Lin Shuyun's eyes lit up.
"Of course! I've lived all these years and I've never eaten pumpkin cake before. I'm sure many people haven't either. Why can't we sell it for money?" Auntie San was telling the truth.
It tastes sweet, so delicious!
"That's great! I'll make them and sell them to pay for my husband's studies." Lin Shuyun said happily and left.
The five and a half large pumpkins finally have a place to go.
The third uncle, who hadn't spoken, took a sip of tea from his large bowl. "You seem to be getting quite close to this Lin family, huh? To be honest, Lin family has had a tough time; a woman supporting her husband's education all by herself!"
Education is so expensive; most families can't afford it.
Third Aunt handed the old man a piece of pumpkin cake, saying, "Of course, the Jiang family is like a tough bamboo that produces good shoots. It's good that Jiang Changtian has married a good wife."
"Just you wait and see, Jiang Shoutian and that old woman Xu will regret this someday!"
……
……
I'm going back the next day.
Lin Shuyun had Xiaoqing cover her face and sit on the donkey cart. The family went to Xinghua Village and picked up Lin Hongzhi along the way.
“There’s not enough room for so many people in your car, so we won’t go for now. Hongzhi, when you go, please talk to her nicely. As long as Qiaoqiao is still willing to marry, our family will definitely treat her well,” Madam Li instructed her son.
As for the extra person, Li didn't ask, assuming he was just someone from Hewan Village.
Halfway there, Lin Hongzhi, head drooping, said, "Sister, maybe I shouldn't go..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiaoqing pushed Lin Hongzhi, saying, "This is my sister, not your sister!"
Lin Hongzhi was stunned.
Old Xu snorted, "This kid isn't quite right in the head, don't take him seriously."
Lin Hongzhi said "Oh," and lowered his head without saying anything more.
When Lin Hongzhi arrived at Lu the carpenter's house, he hesitated to knock on the door.
Seeing how slow he was taking it, Lin Shuyun started typing herself.
"Who is it?!" came Lu Qiaoqiao's voice from inside the door.
"Sister Qiaoqiao, it's me. My brother is here too," Lin Shuyun replied.
"Brother Hongzhi?" The door opened immediately, and Lu Qiaoqiao came out and called out happily.
Lin Hongzhi kept his back turned and refused to turn around.
Lu Qiaoqiao, who hadn't cried even after being hit, suddenly burst into tears. "Brother Hongzhi, do you think I'm dirty and don't want to marry me anymore?"
Lin Hongzhi slapped himself hard across the face with his uninjured hand. "Qiaoqiao, don't say that. It's my fault for being useless and causing you to be humiliated."
"Brother Hongzhi..."
"Qiaoqiao..."
