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

Luo Shiren quickly agreed, saying that his demeanor and expression changed instantly upon seeing his wife leave.

Upon arriving at the pavilion and seeing Lin Cai, Luo Shiren walked in with his hands behind his back: "These are Miss Lin's younger siblings?"

"It's Mr. Luo, it's them. But today's main purpose is for my younger brother, Sanhu. I wonder if Mr. Luo could help us?"

“Hey, don’t say that yet. Although I am the dean of the academy, the rules of the academy must be followed. Even I cannot be an exception or make a special exception.”

“I understand. I never thought of making an exception or taking a shortcut. Please give me a test, sir.”

Luo Shiren walked over to look at Sanhu, then led him into the house. As soon as they left, the woman came out with tea and snacks.

"Don't worry, although that old guy isn't very reliable in his personal life, he will never miss out on his students, especially promising ones."

Lin Cai, who had been looking towards the inner room, turned her gaze away upon hearing this: "Auntie, I understand what you mean, I'm not worried."

"Don't worry, don't worry. You must be hungry after walking all this way. This is something I made myself. Would you like to try some?"

Xiao Chunhua saw some snacks and was about to reach for them when she suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Cai.

Lin Cai saw Xiao Chunhua looking at her, so she raised her hand and patted the little girl's head: "Eat if you want, this is your master's kindness."

Hearing this, Xiao Chunhua nodded obediently, took a pastry from the plate, and began to eat it in small bites.

Upon seeing this scene, the woman's eyes suddenly reddened, and Lin Cai, not knowing what was happening, was startled.

Suddenly, I felt a little flustered and at a loss.

"Auntie, auntie, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"It's alright, it's alright, don't be nervous. I just thought of some old things when I saw you two together."

The woman's name was Suiyu Fang, yes, the same Sui as in the Chinese phrase "rather be a broken piece of jade than a whole piece of tile."

When she was born, her family suffered a great calamity. Her relatives all said she was an unlucky person, a debt collector, and they all wanted to take her away and abandon her.

They thought that way, and in fact they did it, abandoning her in the deep mountains before she had even finished her postpartum confinement.

They assumed that a child who only knew how to cry, thrown into the deep mountains, would surely not survive.

But no one expected that she would be rescued, and the child who was rescued not only grew up safely, but also had a wonderful mother.

Her mother was also a woman with a hard life. She never married and only had her daughter. But such a good person is gone!

When Suiyu Fang saw Lin Cai, she thought of her own mother, who was about the same age when she took her to learn martial arts from a master.

If it weren't for her mother taking her to learn martial arts from a master, she would never be living such a life now.

When Suiyu Fang said it was because she was thinking of her mother, Lin Cai didn't ask any further questions.

But Xiao Chunhua, who was sitting next to her, couldn't sit still. She ate half of the pastry and then held it in her hand.

"Grandma misses her mother. Why doesn't she go find her? If she finds her mother, she can stay by her side forever. Wouldn't that be better?"

"I've searched, I've searched for a long time, but I still haven't found it. Now I don't know where to look anymore!"

Lin Cai had assumed that Sui Yu Fang's mother was dead, but upon hearing this, she realized that she was not dead at all, but had simply gone missing.

"The last clue we got was in Longxing County, but my husband and I have lived here for several years and we haven't heard anything."

“Auntie, there’s still hope if you can’t find her. Maybe the old lady is waiting for you somewhere.”

"You're right. As long as we can't find it, there's still hope. If there's hope, we'll find it. We'll be reunited eventually."

When the three tigers came out, it was almost noon. Luo Shiren followed behind, his face glowing, and he seemed very satisfied.

He looked at Lin Cai and said, "Your younger brother is quite good, but he started learning a bit late. I've passed this test today, so bring him to the academy tomorrow!"

Lin Cai knew that this was already a safe arrangement, so she mentioned that she would be staying overnight at the academy.

She felt that the child was too young to be left alone there, but Luo Shiren said that if the child went back, the child would not be able to concentrate on class because of insufficient rest.

This has happened before, and that's why children are accommodated in the hospital.

Children who live far from home can live in the academy.

Lin Cai said she needed to go back and discuss it with her family before making a decision, but Luo Shiren waved them off.

Just as she reached the door, Lin Cai stopped, got out, turned around, and asked, "Mr. Luo, does the academy accept female students?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Shiren's eyelids twitched: "How did you know?"

The fact that Longxing Academy was recruiting female students was not made public. How did this pastry-making girl find out?

"Sir, is it enough for you to simply say yes or no?"

"What do you mean 'that's enough'? I'm warning you, don't get any funny ideas. You won't get any funny ideas from me. No matter what, I'm in charge. Otherwise, nobody will get away with anything under my nose."

"Mr. Luo, you've misunderstood. I just felt that since my younger brother can already go to school, my younger sister should go too. After all, they're both my younger brother and sister, and I can't show favoritism to one over the other!"

Luo Shiren's lips twitched when he heard this. Their academy had already become a mess after enrolling some female students, and now they were going to squeeze in two more. They might as well just close the academy down!

"Go, go, go quickly, go back now. This is impossible, don't even think about it. Just bring your brother over tomorrow."

He had barely finished speaking when a painful scream rang out in the yard, startling the two little ones.

After leaving the alley where Luo Shiren and the others lived, Xiao Chunhua finally asked, "Mother, do I have to go to school like my third brother?"

"Do you want to go or not? If you don't want to go, you don't have to."

Xiao Chunhua shook her head: "I don't want to go. That grandpa is too fierce. He doesn't speak gently at all."

"Little sister, you can't just judge a person by their appearance; you have to look at their knowledge and skills."

"Third brother, I'm a girl. I don't need to take the imperial examination to become the top scholar. Why should I study academic subjects?"

Lin Cai patted the two little ones' heads. It wasn't that they didn't understand, but that they both understood; it was just that the adults didn't know.
