Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1378 - 201, Back Home (Second Update)_2
Chapter 1378: 201, Back Home (Second Update)_2
Xiao He’s heart had already flown back home, so Lin Yuan directly let Xiao He take the carriage home. The carriage was filled with gifts for grandma and her second uncle and aunt, and of course, there were also books and treats for Xiao Shitou.
Shui Xian and Yin Xing and a few others had already come back two days earlier to tidy up the house. Returning to this small home they had lived in for a long time, the three Lin Yuan sisters were especially happy.
Even Xia Zheng, as soon as he entered, flopped down on the kang and rolled around several times, continuously exclaiming, "Finally, back home," much to Xiao Linshuang’s distaste.
Lin Yuan too, showed a face of disgust. What did he mean by finally back home, as if this humble little house was really his home.
However, having lived in the Capital city for so long, now that they were back and sleeping on this big kang again, it really had its own unique charm. Especially when it was unbearably hot outside, lying on the earthen kang—tch tch, it was indeed cool!
This time, the family planned to stay for ten days to half a month before going back. After all, both Dong Tian and Frost Pavilion were being looked after by others, and they didn’t need to worry about it every day. Besides, Lin Mansion was also guarded by Lao Fan and Butler Zhou, so nothing would go wrong.
"Go and move all the things from the carriage down into the kitchen. Oh, the stuff in this carriage goes to the living room, and the things from those carriages go to the storeroom." After giving instructions to Shui Xian and the others, Lin Yuan, carrying things, went to the North Room. Having traveled by carriage for several days, everyone was exhausted and really wanted to rest well.
Shui Xian and Yin Xing had already arrived at the Lin family house ahead of time and, after resting for two days, they were not as fatigued. However, while moving things, Yin Xing suddenly became distracted for some reason, and the brocade she was holding slipped from her hand.
Ouch!
Shui Xian let out a sharp scream. They had just wiped the door with water that morning, and now the ground was still muddy!
As the brocade was about to fall into the mud, a black boot quickly kicked it up, and then it was caught by Lin Yi’s hand.
Shui Xian and Yin Xing both sighed in relief.
"Thank you, Brother Lin." Yin Xing gratefully nodded to Lin Yi, wanting to take the brocade from him, but he refused.
He took all the cloth in Yin Xing’s arms into his own, gave Yin Xing a look, turned, and walked away: "You look tired. Better take a rest!"
Yin Xing was stunned, her hands still curved as if holding something, and she didn’t react for a moment.
Shui Xian, on the other hand, had a mischievous twinkle in her eyes as she approached Yin Xing and waved her hand: "Hey, are you dumbstruck? Wow, Brother Lin, the usually reticent Brother Lin, actually helped you carry things!"
Shui Xian’s eyes spun around, and she chuckled: "Do you think he, perhaps, likes you... hm?"
Yin Xing pushed away the little girl with a face full of gossip, her cheeks flushing red: "Don’t be absurd. Brother Lin was just kindly helping me with a favor, nothing more. Don’t overthink it and let Brother Lin hear; it would be bad."
Shui Xian raised an eyebrow: "Is that so? Then why are your cheeks blushing?"
Yin Xing’s gaze flickered, and she touched her own cheek, which did feel somewhat hot.
"Ah, stop talking nonsense! Really." Yin Xing pushed away Shui Xian, casually grabbed a bundle from the carriage, and prepared to deliver it to the room.
Shui Xian saw this and quickly followed urgently: "Hey, my Yin Xing sister, what’s the matter with you? Isn’t that our bundle? Why are you taking it to Miss’s room?"
Yin Xing was startled, looked down, and indeed it was her and Shui Xian’s bundle because they didn’t have many belongings and had put their clothes into one bundle.
If Shui Xian hadn’t noticed before, now she really saw that something was off with Yin Xing.
"What’s the matter with you? Why are you so out of it? Could it be you truly like Brother Lin? No, that’s not right. I remember on the way to Zhuma Town, you seemed a bit off. What happened? Did you encounter some difficult problem?"
Asked by Shui Xian, Yin Xing’s eyes immediately reddened. This reaction only confirmed Shui Xian’s suspicions, so she hurriedly asked what exactly was wrong.
Shui Xian and Yin Xing weren’t very close friends while at the General Mansion, but because both had gentle natures, they became best friends who could talk about anything after coming to Lin Yuan’s side. Seeing Yin Xing in such a state, Shui Xian was naturally extremely worried.
After much questioning, Yin Xing just kept weeping, stubbornly saying nothing.
Shui Xian, in her agitation, resorted to her ultimate move: "If you don’t tell me, if you don’t, I’ll go find Miss."
"No, don’t go! Please don’t!" Yin Xing hurriedly grabbed Shui Xian’s hand. "Miss is busy every day with matters of Dong Tian and manages all sorts of trivial things for the whole family. She’s tired enough, so please don’t let her worry about my issue."
Shui Xian stomped her feet impatiently: "If you won’t let me go, then tell me what happened. Otherwise, I’ll go inform Miss and let her ask you."
Yin Xing slowly released Shui Xian’s hand, hesitated, wet her lips, and said softly: "I, you, do you remember the day Miss asked me to go to the street to discuss jewelry work with Xue Lian? I, I encountered, encountered..."
"Encountered whom? Just say it! You’re driving me mad!"
Yin Xing hesitated, squatted down, holding her head, and murmured in a muffled voice: "I ran into my father. He, he was selling my two younger sisters on the street! Wuu wuu, wuu wuu."
Shui Xian was shocked, her eyes wide open. Selling two younger sisters?
