Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens

“We had nothing to do at home and didn’t want to go out, so we came here.”

He was telling the truth; he really came to help. Although it was his older brother and Chunhua who suggested it, they came here voluntarily.

"Oh my, I didn't realize you were here to help. I wonder what kind of help you can offer?"

Lin Bao picked up Xiao Chunhua and continued walking forward, having temporarily accepted the reason given by Er Shi.

“My older brother and I can gather firewood, and Sanhu and Chunhua can find wild vegetables. We really came here to help.”

Lin Bao didn't say anything after hearing this, because what the kid said made sense. There was plenty of firewood on the mountain, and they could also find wild vegetables, which were just right for them to do.

After seeing the brother and sister, Lin Cai didn't say a word for the rest of the way. Xiao Chunhua, who was being carried uphill by Lin Bao, buried her face in Lin Bao's neck.

She would occasionally peek at Lin Cai behind her, but she dared not speak or look at Lin Cai openly.

She knew Lin Cai was angry, and she knew why Lin Cai was angry, so she didn't dare to provoke Lin Cai.

He could only steal glances from time to time, and he dared not let Lin Cai discover his movements.

The group arrived at the mountain pass, and Lin Bao placed the little girl in his arms on a rock.

"Alright, that's enough for today. You kids stay here, my little sister and I will go pick some fruit over there."

"Don't run around, don't go into the mountains, and shout if anything happens. Do you all understand?"

He didn't want to waste time with these kids, so after explaining things to them carefully, he went over there.

Lin Cai didn't say a word throughout the whole process, which Lin Bao found strange, so he asked her when he got there.

"Little sister, have you changed your mind? If you have, then your third brother can help you."

"What can my third brother do to help me? How can he help me? What can he do for me? There are four of them, siblings, who are all human beings, not some insignificant object. Could he possibly help me get rid of them?"

Lin Bao touched his nose and then said in a low voice, "If you really want to do that, then it's not impossible."

He had barely finished speaking when he saw his younger sister glaring at him. He then lowered his hand and laughed, saying, "I was just kidding. They're all from Gujia Village, how could I possibly do such a thing!"

Lin Cai listened to what he said but ignored him. They found a wild pear tree, and Lin Bao picked half a basket of pears by himself to appease his sister.

Although wild pears are not very big, their taste and quantity are absolutely top-notch.

They had already picked half a basketful, and there was still so much left on the tree. Lin Cai felt that was enough, so she quickly told Lin Bao to come down from the tree.

On the other side, Da Chui and Er Shi settled their younger siblings in and then started gathering firewood.

They were really not joking; they genuinely came to help, and they do these kinds of things all the time.

Ershi picked up a bundle of tree branches and turned to look at Dachui, who was tying them up: "Brother, what do we do now? I feel like she's even angrier!"

Big Hammer paused for a moment, then resumed his movements and said, "She's just angry with me."

Ershi didn't think so. He felt that Lin Cai was angry with them, and not just Da Chui.

Chunhua was getting restless. She wanted to follow Lin Cai to find wild vegetables, and her big, round eyes kept looking in Lin Cai's direction.

She was looking at him a little too often, and Sanhu noticed. Actually, he wanted to go over too, but he just didn't dare.

Seeing that her younger sister also wanted to go over, she went straight over and asked, "Chunhua, do you want to go to her side?"

"Third Brother, what are you doing? I don't want to go over there."

Xiao Chunhua looked at Sanhu warily; she hadn't forgotten that her three older brothers were all in cahoots.

Moreover, my three older brothers made Mom angry last night, and she hasn't completely forgiven them yet, even this morning.

She had almost calmed down, but when they arrived and her mother saw them, she got angry again.

"Really? You really don't want to go? But the way you look at me, it seems like you really want to go."

"Third Brother, don't talk nonsense. I just glanced over there a couple of times. Does glancing over there mean I want to go over there?"

Xiao Chunhua absolutely refused to admit that she wanted to go back to the past, and Sanhu, seeing that his sister wouldn't admit it, stopped talking about it.

He was just thinking about it; it was definitely not going to happen, especially not by him going alone.

After picking all the wild pears, when Lin Bao came to find the four siblings, he handed the half-basket of wild pears to Da Chui.

"Be a good girl and carry this home. Be a good girl and listen to my sister. Do as I say, and I'll treat you to meat tonight."

He placed the basket on Gu Dachui's back and then patted Gu Dachui on the shoulder.

Gu Dachui was a little scared by his actions, and when he heard his words, he quickly nodded.

The reputation of the three Lin brothers is known throughout Gujia Village. Although he has grown up, he is still self-aware compared to them.

After receiving the answer, Lin Bao was very pleased and turned to look at Lin Cai: "Little sister, take them back first, and I'll go get you some meat to eat."

"There's meat at home."

The two rabbits from that day are still at home. Big Hammer and the others didn't catch any to eat, and they're still hanging in the well.

Although it is already late autumn, there are still occasional times when the temperature is high. Since there are no refrigerators or cold storage facilities here, meat can only be hung in the well to prevent it from spoiling.

"Don't lie to me, what meat could you possibly have in your shabby house! Take them back obediently, cook some cornbread and wait for me."

The "wowo" that Lin Bao mentioned is a type of steamed bun made by kneading together fine bran, broken rice, and chopped wild vegetables.

Those cornbreads were tough and filling, a staple for poor families at every meal.

Of course, those families who were so poor they couldn't even afford to eat this kind of dry, hard cornbread.

Lin Cai really wanted to tell Lin Bao that her family had rice to make white rice and flour to make noodles and dumplings, but before she could say it, Lin Bao had already disappeared.

Since she was told to go home and wait, Lin Cai took Xiao Chunhua home with her, but three people followed them on their way back.

As they approached the door, Lin Cai suddenly stopped. She saw a stranger in their house.

The reason I said I didn't recognize him was because the person was completely covered up from head to toe, and I couldn't see anything except his eyes.

Lin Cai, carrying the child, walked over and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
