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

Then I heard him ask, "Can you come pick me up earlier?"

"Of course, it will be no later than half a month, and you'll be able to go home every day. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Sanhu nodded. He could wait for half a month. Lin Cai rubbed his head and told him to go inside quickly.

Pushed slightly, Sanhu took two steps forward while holding the snacks, then turned back with a big smile on his face: "Then I'll wait for you to come and take me home, Mom."

As soon as she finished speaking, the little guy disappeared. Lin Cai was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had already run into the academy.

This was the first time Sanhu had called Lin Cai "Mother".

When Xiaochunhua saw her mother smile, she smiled too.

"Is Mother happy because she thinks Third Brother is calling her Mother?"

"Does Xiaochunhua want to go to school?"

Lin Cai didn't answer, but instead asked a question. Upon hearing the question, Xiao Chunhua shook her head: "I'm a girl, I can do it just like my mother. My mother can teach me to read and write just like her."

She wanted to read and write, but she didn't want to go to an academy, and she didn't want to learn from others. So if she really wanted to learn, she wanted Lin Cai to teach her.

Lin Cai was surprised to hear this answer. She didn't ask the little girl why she had this idea, but instead took her to the clothing shop.

As soon as they walked over, the waiter came over to greet them. Lin Cai got straight to the point: "Is your manager here?"

The waiter sized up Lin Cai, then glanced at Xiao Chunhua beside her: "Miss, what brings you to our manager?"

"I've heard that among all the garment shops in Longxing County, this is the only one with the best quality and craftsmanship. I have a few paintings here and would like to ask the shopkeeper to make them for me. I wonder if the shopkeeper would be willing to take a look at them?"

Lin Cai took out her drawing. The waiter looked at it and reached out to take it, but before his hand could touch the drawing, Lin Cai took it back.

Her action displeased the waiter: "Didn't you say it was for the manager? How can you give it to the manager if you don't give it to me?"

"I came with sincerity, but since the shopkeeper doesn't need it, then forget it."

After Lin Cai finished speaking, she glanced at the stairwell. She meant it, but as soon as she turned around, she heard, "Xiao Wu, how have I been teaching you all this time?"

"Whoever comes to our Caixiu Pavilion is a distinguished guest and must be treated with the utmost hospitality. Didn't you hear me?"

"Sister Xiuxiu, I heard you, but this girl isn't cooperating, so there's nothing I can do!"

The woman who came downstairs was named Xiuxiu. She was the manager of Caixiu Pavilion and also its owner.

Lin Cai had come here to buy things before and inquired about it. She found that although there were several cloth shops in the whole Longxing Town, they all made clothes and sold cloth.

But this is the only one that is the best in terms of fabric quality, clothing workmanship, and the art of embroidery.

Afterwards, Lin Cai asked Lin Bao to inquire about it, and then decided to send Xiao Chunhua over. San Hu had already made arrangements, and as long as she studied hard, there wouldn't be any major problems.

Xiao Chunhua is still young, but learning a trade should be put on the agenda. She wants to raise the Gu family's people to be extraordinary.

Xiao Wu felt a little wronged. He had already said that he would take the blueprints up himself, but this woman was unwilling. What could he do?

Xiao Wu glared at Lin Cai and then went straight to the counter.

Xiuxiu knew that her waiter had a temper, so she apologized to Lin Cai first before inviting him upstairs.

As soon as she got upstairs, Lin Cai didn't dawdle and immediately put her drawing on the table.

"This is the picture I just mentioned. I think the shopkeeper will be interested."

Xiuxiu glanced at it, and seeing that Lin Cai didn't object, she picked up the drawing. When she saw the pattern on the drawing, Xiuxiu forgot to breathe.

"This...this was drawn by the girl?"

"Shopkeeper, have you ever seen a picture like this before?"

"No, I have never seen it, I have never seen it before."

It's precisely because we've never seen it before that we're shocked, amazed, and incredulous when we finally see it.

Lin Cai saw Xiu Xiu's surprised look but remained expressionless. She had painted a picture of Ma Gu offering longevity flowers, a hundred sons and a thousand grandsons, and ten thousand phoenixes paying homage to the phoenix.

The drawing method used is simple sketching, which makes it clearer and easier to understand than drawing with a brush, which is why Xiuxiu was so surprised.

She had never seen such a drawing style before, nor such a picture before. However, when Xiuxiu landed on the last picture, she hesitated a little.

"girl……"

"My surname is Lin..."

Lin Cai said her name, and Xiu Xiu paused for a moment before saying her name as well.

“Miss Lin, I really like all three of your pictures, no, I would say I adore them, but this last one…”

"The last picture is just a picture. Does the shopkeeper not dare to accept it?"

“Miss Lin, you are unaware of the fact that there are some things in our Ancient Dragon Kingdom that cannot exist among the common people.”

"I am just a woman, a woman who makes clothes. I dare not risk my head to challenge those untouchable beings."

Upon hearing this, Lin Cai took the "Ten Thousand Phoenixes Paying Homage to the Emperor" card and then lit the oil lamp by the door.

Right in front of Xiuxiu, he burned that picture.

Before Xiuxiu could stop it, she watched helplessly as the fire engulfed the picture, and she was heartbroken.

You can't make the thing, but that doesn't mean you can't keep the image!

Such a beautiful picture, even if you can't do anything with it, it's good to just look at it and appreciate it!

After Lin Cai finished burning the blueprints, she turned around and saw the regret in Xiu Xiu's eyes. She then said, "Since it's useless, there's no need for it to exist. Some things are sharp blades just because they exist."

Xiuxiu nodded, took the remaining two bills, and smiled: "Miss Lin is so straightforward. May I ask what Miss Lin would like?"

"I don't have anything I want, but my daughter needs a teacher. I wonder if the shopkeeper takes on apprentices?"

Hearing this, Xiuxiu lowered her head and looked at Xiaochunhua, who was eating candied hawthorn obediently. This child had been following Lin Cai without crying or making a fuss, and hadn't said a word since.

She thought Lin Cai brought the blueprints over because she had some other request, but she didn't expect that it was just for the child.

What she didn't expect was that they weren't sisters but mother and daughter, but they didn't look like that at all.

Seeing Xiuxiu's confusion, Lin Cai patted Xiaochunhua's head and said, "I am not this child's biological mother, I am this child's stepmother."

"I came here today because I've been observing this child for a long time, hoping he can learn a skill."

“The shopkeeper is good at teaching people. I have the blueprints. If you teach him well, he will be able to do anything.”
