Chapter 672: We Are Family


Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


Mother Lin served the meal, intending to call her son and daughter-in-law to eat. However, Li Hua came over to help, only to be stopped by Mother Lin’s stern voice. “Go sit down, you’ve been working all day. Go eat with Lin Cheng and rest early after.”


Lin Lao’er took a seat, looking at his son, Lin Cheng, and asked, “Your mother told me you weren’t planning to come back to the village today. It’s late, and you’ve been running around. You have to work at the pig farm tomorrow, and Li Hua has to open the shop. It’s exhausting. Don’t you know how to take care of yourself, let alone your wife?”


The Lin family’s father and son were known for spoiling their wives. How could Lin Cheng bear to trouble Li Hua? Moreover, they had been busy moving to the town recently. Their new house in town was being cleaned and decorated. Whenever Lin Cheng and Li Hua had free time, they would work on their new home.


They had been resting in town for a while and rarely returned to the village. However, they came back tonight because Li Hua wanted to.


After taking a big bite of his meal, Lin Cheng explained, “Dad, you’re blaming me unfairly. Li Hua said we had something to discuss, so we came back to sleep tonight and brought some things for you.”


With his fair skin, Lin Cheng’s explanation made him look somewhat wronged, which was quite charming. Li Hua watched him, her heart filled with joy, and prepared to take over the conversation to explain the situation to the family.


Li Hua carefully took her handbag from behind her and opened it in her lap. She cherished this bag because it was the first expensive gift Lin Cheng had bought for her after he started working at the pig farm. It was even a branded item.


She took out a red envelope from the bag, which turned out to be an invitation. She handed it to her mother-in-law and said, “It’s Gui Hua. She insisted that I bring the invitation back today to inform you that she and Lin Hun have set their wedding date. They will hold the wedding banquet in town.


“I have another one here for Gu Zi. Lin Cheng will have to make a trip to the city tomorrow.”


Mother Lin took the invitation and put it away. Hearing that Lin Cheng was going to Gu Zi’s place, she quickly said, “It’s good that you’re going to your sister’s place tomorrow. I’ll pack a couple of bottles of eggs from our hens tonight. You can take them with you tomorrow. Although the city has plenty of food, nothing beats the eggs from our free-range chickens.


“Ah Cheng, Xiao Hua, to be honest, I’ve always been worried about your little sister. After all, we were the ones who lost her. I’ve always wanted to make it up to her. Maternal love can sometimes be selfish. I don’t care whether your little sister needs it or not, but I want to give. I hope you won’t think I’m playing favorites…”


Mother Lin hadn’t planned to say the last part, but she was afraid that her constant thoughts and concerns for Gu Zi would give her son and daughter-in-law the wrong idea, so she decided to speak her mind.


She didn’t neglect her son and daughter-in-law. It was just that she really wanted to keep Gu Zi in her thoughts. She and Gu Zi had been separated for over a decade. She really wanted to make up for it. Her daily care might not seem like much, but she had to do it.


Upon hearing their mother’s words, Lin Cheng and Li Hua felt uneasy. Lin Cheng, a bit tongue-tied, didn’t know what to say and started to sweat.


Li Hua was the one who responded, “Mom, you love your daughter, and we love our little sister too. Of course, we won’t think about unnecessary things. Besides, your care for me and Ah Cheng is evident in our daily lives. We can feel it.”


Hearing Li Hua’s words, Lin Cheng felt that she had expressed exactly what he wanted to say. He looked at her with admiration, thinking that she had become more eloquent since she started her business.


He then wiped the sweat from his forehead and echoed Li Hua’s words, “Yes, Mom, you don’t need to explain. We are a family. Even if our little sister gets married, she will always be part of our family.”


Mother Lin was pleased with her son and daughter-in-law’s response. Indeed, blood ties couldn’t be changed by anything. Gu Zi was their daughter. Even if Gu Zi got married, the Lin family would always be her home, and they would always be her family.


Mother Lin continued to feel good. After Lin Cheng and the others had finished eating, she cleaned up the dining table and the kitchen, still feeling energetic.


After returning to their room with Lin Lao’er, she wanted to massage his legs. Lin Lao’er found it absurd and firmly refused, “I don’t need a leg massage. You’ve been working all day too. Rest early.”


Mother Lin was quite domineering. She pulled his hand away, grabbed his leg with one hand, and started massaging with the other. “What? You’re allowed to massage my legs, but I can’t massage yours?


“Do you remember? When we first got married, it was a village custom for the bride to wash the groom’s feet on their wedding night. But you, you closed the door and washed my feet every night…”
