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

Lin Cai couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it and had Lin Bao carry the chestnuts home before starting to cook them.

She was making roasted chestnuts, so she first had to boil the chestnuts. If they weren't cooked thoroughly, they wouldn't taste good when roasted.

Seeing that his little sister was going to make something new again, Lin Bao stayed there and wouldn't leave. Then Lin Cai pulled him over to do the work.

He enjoyed the work, and soon a pot of roasted chestnuts was ready. Lin Bao, undeterred by the heat, ate one.

It wasn't very big, but it was sweet and pink when you bit into it, and it tasted pretty good. Lin Cai packed a portion for herself and gave it to her third brother.

He was told to take it to Gu Zhan. Lin Bao looked at his sister with a face full of questions: "Why are you giving it to him for no reason? Didn't you say you were going to sell it for money? Why are you just giving it away?"

"Don't ask any questions. Just take it to him as I say."

Although Lin Bao didn't ask any more questions, he was still muttering under his breath as he left: "You brat, I really wasted my time spoiling you. Now that you're all grown up, you've got secrets from me. You're no longer my obedient little sister."

Hearing Lin Bao's cursing, Lin Cai shook his head with amusement. His third brother's mouth was really annoying!

Lin Bao knew his sister was hiding something from him, and since he couldn't get the answer from her, he went directly to ask Gu Zhan.

When he arrived, Gu Zhan was sharpening his bow and arrows. He had almost used up the arrows he had prepared earlier, and now he needed to prepare more.

Lin Bao entered the courtyard and unceremoniously took a chair and sat down, holding the bag of chestnuts in his arms.

"You met my sister on the mountain today."

Gu Zhan ignored him, thinking the man was out of his mind.

"Did you say or do anything to my sister on the mountain?"

No sooner had he said that than a bamboo skewer appeared at his feet.

"Gu Zhan! What the hell are you trying to do?"

Seeing the bamboo skewer still dangling from its tail, Lin Bao was startled. If he hadn't dodged quickly, the skewer would probably be stuck in his foot by now.

"You'll be speaking carelessly next time, and that will be your mouth."

"No, when have I ever been outspoken? I was just asking you one question, how is that being outspoken?"

This matter concerns his sister, so as her brother, he should find out what happened. Is there a problem with that?

I only exchanged a few words with her.

Lin Bao was a little skeptical when he heard this. Forgetting his earlier fear, he quickly asked, "You really only said a few words, and nothing else happened?"

Gu Zhan looked up at Lin Bao, who subconsciously moved to the side: "Don't look at me like that. I have evidence. If you really only said a few words, then what's going on?"

He dripped the so-called evidence he had brought in in front of the other party. Gu Zhan saw it and was slightly taken aback when he saw that it contained chestnuts.

Lin Bao noticed the change in his expression and continued, "My sister is planning to start a new business, so she asked me to bring you a portion of this freshly cooked dish."

"If you really didn't do anything, why would she ask me to bring you a copy?"

Gu Zhan knew why, but he didn't want to say. He stretched out his hand, and Lin Bao, who was reluctant to give him the chestnut, looked at that hand but still obediently put the chestnut in his hand.

There's nothing he can do; he can't beat them!

If I can beat him, not only will I not give him the chestnut, but I'll also beat him up.

Chestnuts are not a rare thing for ordinary people, because when they have no food or grain at home, they will go to the mountains to pick these things to fill their stomachs.

However, they had never eaten sugar-roasted chestnuts, mainly because no one was willing to use the sugar, and no one knew how to make them that way.

When Lin Cai went there on her first day, business wasn't very good; she only sold a small portion of her goods. On her way back, she visited a clothing store.

She originally planned to buy two ready-made outfits, but they were too expensive, so she chose two bolts of better quality fabric instead.

But she didn't know how to make clothes, so she could only take them back to the Lin family and ask Lin's mother to make two sets of men's clothing.

"Why are you buying men's clothes instead of treating yourself?"

Lin's mother didn't know what her daughter was up to. She just felt that her daughter should think more about her and not worry about anything else.

Lin Cai pulled her mother along and said softly, "These clothes are for Da Chui. Da Chui is already so big, it's time for him to get married, but he doesn't have many decent clothes."

“I plan to make two for him, so he will have a new outfit to wear when he gets married.”

"I originally wanted to buy a ready-made one, but they were too expensive, so I could only buy fabric. But Mom, you know me, I don't know how to do anything, so I can only ask you to make this dress for me."

Lin Cai hugged her mother and started to act coquettishly. When her mother heard what her daughter said, she gently poked her daughter's forehead.

"You, you're really getting worse as you get older. They're not your children, why do you care so much?"

“Mother, you can’t say that. I am their stepmother after all. They have no father anymore. If I don’t take care of them, they probably won’t survive.”

When Lin's mother heard what her daughter said, she didn't really blame her. She was just gratified because her precious daughter had grown up, become sensible, and knew how to think of others.

But now, seeing her mistreating herself for others, Lin's mother felt heartbroken, yet she didn't want her to mature so quickly!

Lin Cai didn't think too much about it. After settling things with her mother, she went straight back.

There were still many chestnuts in the house, so she had her siblings peel them all.

Then she went into the room and got a bag of refined flour; she was going to make chestnut cake.

Early the next morning, Lin Cai woke up and called Gu Dachui. Just as she finished preparing breakfast, Lin Bao came over, yawning.

Even before he was in the yard, he could smell the delicious aroma, which made him feel much more energetic. Then he saw his sister bringing him some delicious food.

Looking at the food in front of him, Lin Bao's drowsiness vanished instantly. He wolfed down the food and finished it before speaking.

"Little sister, your cooking skills are really amazing. You can't even find such delicious food in town."

Lin Cai was naturally pleased that her creations were well-received, and handed two pancakes to Lin Bao.

"If you want to eat, help with the work. Once you've finished the work and have some free time, I'll cook you delicious food every day. Of course, you'll have to provide the ingredients."

Lin Cai knew that this request would not be a problem for her third brother, and sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Bao agreed immediately.

"It's just preparing the ingredients, don't worry, leave it all to me."
