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

On the way, Lin Xi received a system notification that she had helped the police advance the case and clarified the basic information of the criminal suspect, for which she was rewarded with 5,000 Love Coins.

Lin Xi was not in a good mood at all, and Zhao Yang, who was usually very lively, did not say anything and drove quietly, making the atmosphere very heavy.

The Lin family members knew that the child was in a bad mood, so they didn't disturb him and just quietly held his hand.

Lin Xi was communicating her feelings with Xiao Yi in her mind.

How could that drug dealer be so cruel as to harm a child? How much pain must that mother be in?

That man knew how painful it was for his family to be hurt, so why did he still hurt someone else's family?

Xiao Yi said that evil people have no empathy. They don't think about what would happen if it happened to them. They just think, "It's not like it's me."

That man was nothing but cowardly and selfish. If he had cooperated with the police earlier, even by secretly revealing just a little bit of information, his family wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

A person can only be saved by others if they want to save themselves.

Xiao Yi knew that although its host had a soul in her thirties, she had not seen much of the dark side of this world and was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.

But in this life, the path she must take will be different from others. She will witness the darkness and ugliness of human nature, selfishness and cunning, and she will have to face the despair and helplessness of many more people...

When they got home, Lin Xi called out to Zhao Yang, who was turning around and driving back, "Brother Zhao Yang, if... if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me, and I will do my best to help."

"Okay, thank you, little sister."

Lin Guiying and the others had already entered the courtyard. Seeing her granddaughter talking to the police, she called out, "Xiaoxi, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, Grandma, I said I'd bring them a jar of pickled vegetables."

Zhao Yang thought the girl was just making up an excuse, but Lin Guiying came out with a jar of pickled vegetables. "Here you go, young man. You need to be healthy to have the energy to work. Eat well."

"Oh, oh, okay, okay, thank you, ma'am."

Lin Guiying looked at the child, who seemed like a fool, and couldn't help but think that being a policeman must be really hard; not eating or sleeping well makes people stupid.

"Alright, go back now. Come over for some mala tang sometime."

The group turned and went back into the house. Lin Xi glanced back at him, indicating that she needed to talk to him.

Zhao Yang carefully placed the pickled vegetables in the passenger seat and drove steadily back to the police station.

That fierce-looking old lady is actually a pretty nice person...

Once inside, Lin Xi slapped her forehead, "Oh dear, Uncle Liu is still at the market."

Lin Dayuan had just taken off his shoes and put them back on. "I forgot about it too. You guys stay here, I'll go get him."

When we arrived at the market, the vendors had already packed up their stalls. There were still a few customers sitting at the empty tables in front of the spicy hot pot stall.

Seeing Lin Dayuan arrive, Liu Erli and the others were all overjoyed.

"Dayuan, you're finally back! They said they were worried because they couldn't see you, so they've been waiting here for ages."

One of them was Hu Yihang, the one who had asked Lin Xi to participate in the calligraphy competition. He pushed up his glasses and said, "The competition results will be out in a few days. Don't let me be unable to find you after the prize money is awarded."

"Hehe, we're just worried that we won't be able to eat mala tang anymore."

"Don't worry, I will keep driving here. Even if I move to a different location, I will let you know in advance."

Lin Dayuan felt incredibly warm at that moment.

The customers left reassured, and Lin Dayuan and his companion began to pack up their stall. As Liu Erli tidied up, he said, "Dayuan, your customers are all kind-hearted."

You said it would be free, but none of them refused to pay. They said you run a small business and it's not easy for you, so they couldn't let you suffer a loss.

"I didn't want it; they just threw the money into the box when they left."

"Yes, it's only been a little over half a month, and we've almost become friends."

At this moment, Lin Dayuan had already made a decision in his heart, a decision that would affect his entire life.

After dinner, Lin Dayuan chaired another family meeting, saying that he had decided to resign from the car team and would run the mala tang restaurant well in the future. No matter what difficulties he encountered, he would persevere.

He also shared his recent insights, saying that doing business is actually a very joyful thing, and he has fallen in love with this feeling. From now on, he will not be an employee, but only Boss Lin!

The whole family expressed their support, and enthusiastic applause rang out.

“Son, I’ve noticed that you’ve changed a lot since you started your stall. You smile more often now.”

"Grandma, you and Grandpa are the same. Although you are very busy, our family's life is getting better and better. It will definitely get better and better in the future."

"Thanks to you, Xiaoxi, if it weren't for your persuasive skills, I wouldn't even dare to imagine that our family could still do business."

Grandma Lin sighed when she recalled what happened back then. Now that she has come to terms with it, she understands how they gradually fell into her granddaughter's trap.

"That's right, your son is quite the smooth talker. He used Xiaoxi as a shield and tricked me into buying a tricycle for over two thousand yuan."

……

As the family chatted, they launched into a rant session, and Lin Xi gradually calmed down from the sadness and heaviness she felt during the day.

Lin Guiying brought up the matter of being tricked in order to divert her granddaughter's attention. Lin Guojun and his son were also in sync and cooperated with her tacitly.

Seeing that Lin Xi was in better condition, everyone was relieved.

The next day, the mala tang stall was still packed with people. When the stall owner arrived on time, everyone greeted him warmly.

I was a little worried before going to bed last night. What if the mala tang restaurant closes down? It's their only place.

So today, there was a feeling of something lost and then found again, and everyone was exceptionally enthusiastic. This made Lin Dayuan sigh once more, realizing how right his decision yesterday was, and how indispensable everyone was to him.

Looking at this grand scene, Lin Xi had already made up her mind that she would rent a store next month. She couldn't let everyone keep eating in the cold wind.

"Lin Xi! Lin Xi! My deskmate!..."

Why does it sound like she heard Su Xin's voice?

Looking around, she saw a chubby little boy running towards her like a penguin, waving as he ran.

"Walk slowly! Don't fall! There's ice here!"

Lin Xi put her hands to her mouth, making a megaphone shape, and shouted in Su Xiaopang's direction.

Su Xin slowed down and turned to the two elegantly dressed girls behind him, saying, "What's wrong? Did you hear that? Doesn't she look like my mom?"

One of the girls, with a ponytail, flashed a wide laugh, revealing two rows of white teeth. "You know what, that tone really does sound a bit like my sister-in-law's."

The other short-haired girl smiled secretly.

As the group approached, Lin Xi handed over the work to her grandfather and squeezed out of the dense crowd.

"Su Xin, what brings you here? You seem to have gained weight again. Did you sneak some candy?"

"Hey deskmate, we haven't seen each other for so many days, and the first thing you say is that I'm fat. It's so hurtful!"

"You broke our promise and secretly ate candy, which made me sad too!"

"I didn't steal any candy, I just ate too much meat."

"If you keep eating like this, you'll never get back all the candy I confiscated in this lifetime."

A long time ago, Lin Xi made a promise with Su Xin that she would return all the confiscated candy to him once he lost weight to a normal size.

At this moment, the girl with the high ponytail who had been watching the two arguing couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahaha, little sister, I can testify that he really didn't steal any candy."
