Chapter 73
Just as Lin Zaozao ran to the door, covering her mouth and laughing uncontrollably, Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan had already tidied up and came out.
Seeing that Lin Zaozao was still looking messy, they peeked puzzlingly through the tattered straw curtain in front of her door. At a glance, they saw Xiao Taohua sitting on the bed blankly, as if he was spellbound and didn't move at all.
"You little brats, stop looking."
Lin Zaozao suppressed her smile and went to Ye Yi's room. She couldn't go into her own room now. Because if she did, she would definitely be laughed at by Xiao Taohua's silly look.
When Lin Zaozao entered Ye Yi's room, Ye Yi had just got up and got dressed. Seeing the neatly dressed Ye Yi, Lin Zaozao sighed deeply.
Why get up so early!
So early in the morning, causing her to miss out on all the benefits.
Seeing Lin Zaozao's disappointed look, Ye Yi couldn't help but smile.
This Lin Zaozao, if she didn't take advantage early in the morning, it was as if she was at a loss.
"Ye Yi, I'll wash up at your place!"
After speaking, Lin Zaozao directly took Ye Yi's wash basin, scooped up water with her hand to wash hastily, ruffled her hair, and was about to go out.
But before she could take two steps, Ye Yi directly grabbed her hand and made her sit on a chair next to her.
"What?"
Facing Lin Zaozao's puzzled eyes, Ye Yi just smiled slightly at her before taking the comb from the table and tidying up her hair.
Ye Yi was very gentle when combing hair. In just a moment, Lin Zaozao's messy hair was combed neatly by Ye Yi.
Without a mirror, Lin Zaozao didn't know what her hairstyle looked like.
Anyway, it definitely wouldn't look bad.
It must be much better looking than her bun.
"Ye Yi, thank you!"
After thanking Ye Yi, Lin Zaozao turned around and was about to go out. But before she could take two steps, she went back to Ye Yi's side and grabbed his hand, signaling him to lower his head.
Lin Zaozao's actions made the puzzled Ye Yi obediently lower his head.
Seeing Ye Yi lower his head obediently, a hint of smile flashed through Lin Zaozao's eyes in an instant.
"Ye Yi, tell Ji Fantian and Gu Shan later that to save Xiao Taohua yesterday, I went into the bridal chamber with him. Say that I might even be pregnant with his child.
Remember, once Xiao Taohua asks you guys about me entering the bridal chamber with him, you just have to nod your head and don't say anything else, understand?"
Ye Yi looked at the bright twinkling light in Lin Zaozao's eyes. The corners of his mouth slightly turned up as he nodded seriously at her.
"Oh my, my Ye Yi is so obedient and handsome!"
After speaking, Lin Zaozao immediately hugged Ye Yi's neck and took a fierce bite on his cheek before swaggering out.
Watching Lin Zaozao's arrogant walking posture, Ye Yi raised his hand to the place Lin Zaozao had just kissed.
After quite a while, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
He knew it! This little chubby Lin Zaozao, how could she possibly have a time when she doesn't take advantage of others.
Coming out of the room, Lin Zaozao saw Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan waiting at the door. She pulled one in each hand, preparing to take them both out.
But when they had just walked to the courtyard door, the two puppies that suddenly appeared this morning blocked Lin Zaozao's feet.
Seeing the two puppies blocking her way at her feet, Lin Zaozao used her feet to push them aside, preparing to take Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan out.
But before she could take a step, the two puppies bit her pants in unison, with their butts pouting backwards.
"Oh my! You two dogs, I haven't settled the score with you for biting my rooster to death this morning. And now you dare to bite me again! If you bite again, I'll have roast dog meat for lunch."
As soon as Lin Zaozao's voice fell, the two puppies immediately let go of Lin Zaozao's pants and quickly hid behind Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan.
Seeing the puppies' actions, Lin Zaozao looked up at the two children and asked, "Lin Wuwu, Lin Wanwan, did you two bring these two puppies back?"
Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan nodded seriously.
"Where did you catch them from?"
The two children pointed to the mountain.
"Are there dogs in the mountains? Could they be wild dogs?"
Lin Zaozao looked at the two puppies, muttering puzzledly.
Seeing Lin Zaozao's curiosity about the two puppies, Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan's expressions tightened. They immediately blocked the puppies and pulled Lin Zaozao towards the courtyard gate.
"Alright alright, stop pulling me. Tell those two puppies not to eat my egg-laying hen. If they dare bite my hen again, tell them to lay eggs for me every day."
Hearing Lin Zaozao's threat, the two children plus the two puppies nodded in unison.
Seeing this scene before her, Lin Zaozao couldn't help laughing out loud.
How could the actions of these four creatures be so synchronized!
And these two puppies, why were they so humane?
"Okay, let the puppies stay at home. We're going to the village entrance to do something and will be back soon."
After speaking, Lin Zaozao pulled Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan towards the courtyard gate. To prevent the two puppies from running out, Lin Zaozao thoughtfully barricaded the broken fence at the courtyard entrance as she went out.
Following the information she had asked around these past few days, Lin Zaozao kept walking towards the east end of Luoshui Village.
According to the villagers, a hunting household and a veterinarian lived at the east end of the village. Lin Zaozao was going to find them today.
To buy meat from the hunter and medicine from the veterinarian.
Along the way, Lin Zaozao looked left and right at her two cheap younger brothers.
They were injured but seemed to feel no pain at all, just walking with their heads down, following her obediently. Never frowning because of the wounds on their bodies.
"Lin Wuwu, Lin Wanwan, do you two really not feel the pain on your bodies? The wounds are so deep, doesn't it hurt?" Lin Zaozao asked with a frown while looking at the two children.
Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan shook their heads seriously.
"Foolish, how could it not hurt."
Holding the two children's hands, Lin Zaozao suddenly felt depressed. It was probably because no one had cared about them since they were young!
Even if they were in pain, who would care if they were hurting or not!
The two fifteen-year-old boys were so petite. And seeing the wounds on their bodies, even if Lin Zaozao didn't have a brain, she could tell how hard their lives had been since childhood.
The more Lin Zaozao thought about it, the more distressed she felt.
Although she was not a competent sister, she was now willing to do her best to be a qualified sister to these two children.
After all, Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan were really too pitiful.
Standing on either side of Lin Zaozao, Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan looked at the distress in Lin Zaozao's eyes. After exchanging a glance, they tightly grabbed Lin Zaozao's hands.
They hoped that this sister of theirs now would always be with them and not despise them.
One day, they would grow up and become normal people.
By then, they could always accompany their sister.
Because she was the only relative they had left in this world.
Arriving at the east end of the village, Lin Zaozao saw two courtyards side by side. At a glance, they were not much better than the one Lin Zaozao was living in now.
These two families should be the veterinarian and hunter of Luoshui Village!
Lin Zaozao walked to the courtyard gate of one and was about to knock on the door. But like her home, it also had broken fences, so how could she knock on the door? However, she didn't know their names to call. For a while, Lin Zaozao stood at the doorway with the two children, not knowing what to do.
Just as Lin Zaozao was hesitating whether to go in by herself, a familiar voice behind made her turn around quickly.
"Lass, what are you doing standing here?"
Lin Zaozao swiftly turned around to see that it was Uncle Zhang who drove the ox cart in Luoshui Village.
"Uncle Zhang, what are you doing here?" Lin Zaozao asked in surprise.
"Seeing how you asked, is this not my old man's house, where else would I live if not here."
After speaking, Uncle Zhang directly pushed open the broken fence at his own courtyard gate and beckoned Lin Zaozao and the three siblings to come in.
When Lin Zaozao entered Uncle Zhang's courtyard, she was immediately stunned by the things Uncle Zhang had placed at the entrance.
Were those baskets of herbs?!
"Uncle Zhang, are all these herbs?"
"Yeah!"
Uncle Zhang scooped a ladle of water from the room and handed it to Lin Zaozao.
"Girl, have some water."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
Lin Zaozao didn't mind at all. She took the ladle and started gulping down the water.
After she finished the water, Lin Zaozao handed the empty ladle back to Uncle Zhang.
Seeing the now empty ladle, Uncle Zhang's eyes were full of smiles. This chubby girl was not picky at all.
Taking back the ladle, when Uncle Zhang came out of the room again, he handed a green fruit to each of the three Lin siblings.
"Girl, have some fruit."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
After taking the fruit, Lin Zaozao casually wiped it on her clothes before taking a bite. The next second, her body stiffened for a moment before she started eating the fruit with a straight face.
"Lin Wuwu, Lin Wanwan, don't be picky about the fruit Uncle Zhang gave you, hurry up and eat it."
Hearing Lin Zaozao's urging voice and seeing her eating with relish, Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan looked at each other doubtfully again before taking a bite of the fruit in their hands.
Seeing Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan taking a bite, Lin Zaozao immediately spit out the fruit in her mouth.
"Oh my god! So sour I'm dying!"
Lin Zaozao immediately spat out the fruit in her mouth, stuck out her tongue and wrinkled her face. Her whole face was about to wrinkle up like a dumpling.
Accompanied by Lin Zaozao's complaints, Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan were eating the fruit in their hands with relish. Seeing them eat with such enjoyment, Lin Zaozao looked down at the fruit in her own hand again.
Could it be that only the fruit in her hand was sour?
"Lin Wuwu, you little brat, let me try the fruit in your hand."
Lin Wuwu glanced at Lin Zaozao and turned his body to clearly indicate refusal.
"Che! You little brat, why so protective of your food? I just want one bite."
Lin Zaozao didn't act like a big sister at all and directly snatched the fruit from Lin Wuwu's hand and stuffed it into her own mouth.
Only wanting to snatch the fruit to eat, Lin Zaozao didn't notice the smiles in the eyes of the two brothers.
Sure enough, just as the smiles in the brothers' eyes were about to show, Lin Zaozao's annoyed voice immediately rang out.
"Damn it! How can it be so sour too!"
Along with Lin Zaozao's complaints, the two brothers and Uncle Zhang laughed out loud together.
How could fruit possibly be sweet during this season!
