The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

[Ding. The host has successfully solved a fraud case, helping the police arrest three fraudsters, preventing villagers from being scammed, and raising villagers' awareness of fraud prevention. The host is rewarded with 5000 Love Coins.]

Wow, I've made it! Now I have a total of 5575.

Lin Xi was so excited she almost jumped up.

"Xiao Xi, how did you get him to tell the truth?" Lin Jing asked curiously, and the Lin family members all looked at her.

They want to know too.

Xiao Xi explained that Grandma Lin must make the master drink this bowl of water tomorrow, and she can handle the rest.

Did they put something in the water?

Lin Xi said mysteriously, "It's a secret that can't be revealed, sister. If I tell you, your luck will turn bad."

Lin Jing quickly shut her mouth.

She thought to herself that her younger sister might know some Taoist magic, and that there must be a master helping her, otherwise how could she suddenly become so smart?

Masters live in seclusion; such secrets cannot be known to ordinary people…

Lin Xi hadn't expected that Lin Jing had already covered for her.

What's wrong? What do you know? I haven't even figured out how to cover this up yet!

Lin Xi didn't say much, just wanted to avoid digging deeper.

The Lin family watched as Lin Xi talked nonsense and didn't say anything more, deciding to ask her when they got home.

When they arrived home, Grandma Lin closed the door, and Lin Dayuan pulled Lin Xi to sit at the table.

Grandpa Lin asked mysteriously, "Xiao Xi, you won't end up like Master Ma..."

Master Ma is a charlatan in the village; there's nothing he can't do—fortune telling, rituals, feng shui.

Previously, when Lin Xi had a fever, Lin Guojun even went to see Master Ma.

Lin Xi quickly interrupted, "Grandpa, no, didn't I tell you before that I had a dream when I had a fever and learned a lot of things?"

In my dream, I also had a master who taught me many things that ordinary people couldn't understand, and when I tried them, they really worked!

She really didn't want to lie all the time anymore, so she decided to resolve it once and for all, and then blame her master for any strange things that happened in the future.

"Xiao Xi, what about your strength?" Lin Dayuan asked again.

"This is a spell my master taught me," Lin Xi said without hesitation.

"Did you cast a spell on us? Your grandparents and I have also felt very strong lately."

Lin Xi explained that she would cast a spell on the water tank from time to time, and that drinking the water would make you stronger.

Lin Guiying suddenly realized why she had seen her granddaughter acting suspiciously by the water vat earlier.

"Xiao Xi, please don't tell anyone about this. What if they arrest you and investigate you?"

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

I should have known better than to ask.

Lin Guiying looked at her son and husband with great concern, saying, "You two should also keep your mouths shut even when you're sleeping."

They both nodded.

Lin Guojun was the one who trusted Lin Xi the most. He had always believed in ghosts and gods, and thought that it must be a deity helping his granddaughter.

"Dayuan, let's go burn some paper money for Xiaoxi's mother, and then go to the ancestral graves to offer incense later. They are protecting Xiaoxi."

Lin Xi thought her father and grandmother wouldn't believe these things, but to her surprise, they both nodded solemnly.

"Yes, let's go tonight. Da Yuan, buy some good stuff later, pick the best ones."

They didn't believe it at first, but the things that happened to Xiaoxi made them have no choice but to believe it.

"By the way, Grandma, we can't easily give this water that's been enchanted to others to drink. If bad people drink it and do bad things, we'll be punished."

This is truly a terrible retribution; all the Love Coins have been wiped out, and the store will be banned for a month.

The group was immediately frightened.

Lin Guiying hurriedly said that they should stop using magic in the future and that they could just drink ordinary water.

But Lin Xi wanted to help her family, who did manual labor every day, and wanted to make things easier for them.

They were comforted and told that they could just prepare another water tank, and that when guests came to their home, they could just give them regular water.

Lin Guiying quickly had her son move the vat to her own room, as it was too dangerous to leave it in the kitchen.

"From now on, you can drink water from my room."

"Grandma, there's no need to exaggerate. It's so inconvenient for you to cook."

"No, I have to keep an eye on it."

This is divine water! Just thinking about how she used to use this water to wash her face and vegetables makes her heart ache.

Just then, the door creaked open, startling the group.

Lin Guiying told the group to quickly forget about it, since they hadn't said anything.

It turned out to be Lin Jing and her grandmother, who were carrying a bunch of food and expressing their gratitude.

Liu Shufen recovered and even called her son to apologize.

Before long, the villagers arrived one after another, in waves.

Lin Guiying simply left the door open and didn't close it.

The courtyard was filled with villagers, all there to thank Lin Xi's family.

Some people were carrying chicken eggs and duck eggs, while others were carrying prepared chicken and pork, various pickled vegetables, fruits, and dried goods...

Someone even took a live chicken.

"Old Lin, thank you for pulling me back then. I even scolded you; you're really getting senile."

"Grandma Xiaoxi, if you hadn't rushed ahead, I would have already done so. You even risked being scammed yourself..."

"Waaah!" The old lady started crying as she spoke, and Lin Guiying quickly comforted her.

"Xiao Xi, we are most grateful to you. You truly deserve to be called a child prodigy..."

The villagers thanked her profusely, but Lin Guiying said that they didn't need to be so polite and that everyone should take the food back, as it would be a waste if they couldn't finish it.

Fearing that Lin Guiying wouldn't accept it, the villagers simply threw it on the ground and hurriedly left.

The family laughed as they looked at the yard full of food and a live chicken wandering around.

The villagers are so lovely.

At that moment, a young man in green work clothes peeked in from the front door.

Lin Xi, with her sharp eyes, noticed and immediately called out, "Hello, may I ask who you are?"

This isn't from their village either.

The man came out from behind the door. "I'm here to deliver a letter. Hehe, I didn't dare to come in because there were too many people at your house earlier."

Lin Xi suddenly remembered something, took the letter, opened it, and started reading.

Sure enough, the short story was successfully submitted!

"Hello, kindred spirits."

I am Orange, the editor of Youth Novel Illustration. Your short story "I Love This World" has been approved and will be printed in the next issue.

The payment of 500 yuan has been remitted. Please check your account.

Wow, wow, I'm so happy! I've earned another稿费 (manuscript fee).

This magazine had a great reputation in my previous life, and they paid high fees for articles. When I was submitting my work, they were the first magazine that came to mind.

"Dad, my novel royalties have arrived! The money has been deposited into your account. You can check it when you have time."

His daughter is making money again?

"Xiao Xi, please don't overwork yourself, okay?"

Although the money was deposited into his account, he would always keep it for his daughter.

As for why his daughter knew his account number, she figured it out; nothing strange about it.

In the past few days, the Engel coefficient of Lin Xi's family has been rising sharply. In order not to disappoint the villagers, they have been eating meat at every meal.

Lin Xi's study task changed from doing exercises to organizing her study notes from the past 3-6 years.

The knowledge she learned in elementary school is now deeply imprinted in her mind.

Every day, she had to organize her study notes for a book, write an essay, start a new short story, and occasionally explain problems to Lin Jing, keeping her extremely busy.

The benefit was that, with the help of the fountain pen, her calligraphy improved by leaps and bounds, and even Teacher Su praised her for her progress.

You can also earn some "love coins" by explaining problems to Lin Jing every day.

When I saw her writing essays with such fervor that she felt like she was pulling out a single hair to generate an idea, out of kindness, I changed her daily study reward to a colorful popping candy, which could enhance her imagination for three hours after eating it.

With Xiao Yi's help, Lin Xi had a constant stream of inspiration every day, and she finished writing another short story in three days and submitted it.

Su Youcheng had become numb. He received Lin Xi's essays every morning without fail. He felt that as long as his sister's "Young Students" magazine didn't go out of business, she could keep writing.
