Chapter 2: Young Child
Lin Xiaoyue was amused by Liu's caring look.
"Mom, don't be nervous. Mr. Blackface said that he will send someone to take me away in sixty years. I won't leave you."
In the 21st century, her parents died early, and she grew up in the countryside with her elderly grandparents. Her grandfather passed when she was a sophomore in high school, and then her grandmother passed when she was a sophomore in university. After that, she became an orphan completely.
She did not expect to have a new family now.
Hearing this, Liu Shi relaxed a little and finally let go of Lin Xiaoyue. freeweb novel.com
"Ms. Liu." At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
The mother and daughter looked in the direction of the voice and saw Aunt Wang holding a basket and her young child into the house.
In the original owner's memories, Aunt Wang's house was the closest to theirs, and they were also the only family in the village that took care of them.
After they moved here, if it weren't for Aunt Wang helping them occasionally, the three of them would have starved to death.
When Aunt Wang saw Lin Xiaoyue, her body trembled, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes. She subconsciously took a step back.
Liu Shi was the first to react. She quickly got up and walked toward Aunt Wang.
"Yue'er is fine, and she's conscious now!" She quickly said.
Aunt Wang looked suspiciously at Liu Shi and then at Lin Xiaoyue.
"Hello, aunt!" Lin Xiaoyue greeted her with a smile.
Aunt Wang saw a ray of sunlight shining in from outside on Lin Xiaoyue. She smiled very sweetly and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief in her heart.
"Good girl!" Said Aunt Wang and then she walked to Liu Shi.
"I know you're not in the mood to look for food, and I don't have anything good here either. I went up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables and brought some over for you." As she spoke, she handed the basket over to Liu Shi.
Liu Shi's eyes sparkled.
"No. It's not easy for you guys either. You give us things every now and then…" Liu Shi couldn't hold back her tears and stretched out her hand to wipe them away with her sleeve.
"Enough, it's not a big deal. Why are you crying? It's a good thing that the Yue'er is fine now. The two children are still young and need your care. You have to be strong." Aunt Wang comforted her. "Take it. Hurry up and make some food. Don't let Yue'er and Zhi'er starve."
"Hmm." Liu Shi wiped away her tears.
She took the basket and went to the stove to empty the wild vegetables inside.
Then she returned it to Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang looked at Lin Xiaoyue from time to time.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was smiling at her with her clear eyes, she believed Aunt Liu's words.
"My daughter is still cooking. I'm leaving now." Aunt Wang glanced at Lin Xiaoyue again and was ready to leave.
"I'll send you off." Aunt Liu quickly sent her out.
Then, she started chatting with Aunt Wang in the courtyard.
Lin Xiaoyue didn't hear the conversation clearly, but she heard her mother's happy and excited voice. She could roughly hear her mother telling Aunt Wang about the underworld story that she made up.
Lin Xiaoyue didn't care too much. She looked at the young child who was staring at her at the door.
This child was good-looking. His features were similar to hers, but he was thin and didn't have much flesh on his body.
Knowing that this child was her five-year-old brother, Lin Xiaoyue waved at him, wanting him to come over.
A hint of doubt flashed across his face, and he did not go.
He was still young and did not understand the meaning of death, so he was not afraid of Lin Xiaoyue. But his sister had a bad temper and always bullied him. He did not like to play with her.
