Lin Xi and Shen Chen's family went back in the afternoon.

In the end, they did not buy an ox cart. Lin Xi thought about it and replaced it with a carriage. It was not the kind of carriage that Zhao Dequan was sitting in before, but an ordinary carriage used to pull goods.

Because Lin Xi felt that horses were easier to feed than cows, and children also liked horses more, Shen Chen, who had a sharp eye for it, chose a pony with shiny fur. At least from the appearance, it was very lovable.

On the way back, both cars were filled with things.

Shen Chen was driving an ox cart while Lin Xi was getting familiar with the carriage. The four treasures were all very curious about horses and scrambled to ride with Lin Xi in the carriage. In the end, Dabao regretfully followed Shen Chen because he couldn't sit down.

Their movements returned to Chenyang Village and once again caused a great sensation.

In Chenyang Village, apart from Old Uncle Li, Lin Xi's family is the second family that can afford to buy horses, which are more expensive than cattle. It is difficult for the villagers not to pay attention to them.

No matter how jealous the villagers were, after Lin Xi and Shen Chen unloaded their things at home, Shen Chen went to return the car.

Lin Xi was busy arranging the things he had bought. The four children, who had not yet gotten over their excitement, gathered around the horse and fed it hay.

Until Shen Chen came back, he looked at the yard that was larger than before, and after discussing with Lin Xi, decided to tie the horse to the edge of the shed.

The day passed like this.

The next day, Lin Xi thought about making a batch of braised pork before the New Year. She got up early and asked Shen Chen to help her process the meat she bought. They bought a lot at once, all of which were large pieces. Lin Xi felt that It was too laborious to cut it myself, so I left it to Shen Chen, who was stronger.

After a while, the children also got up.

After a simple breakfast, they played nearby. According to Sanbao, there have been a few more children of the same age who want to play with them recently, and they are waiting for them to play almost every day.

Lin Xi felt that it would be good for the four children to get along with their peers, so he did not stop them and even asked them to bring some snacks to share with their friends.

After sending the children away, Lin Xi and Shen Chen processed the New Year's goods at home.

Lin Xi had a lot of things he wanted to do, and the steps on how to make them were already in his mind. Shen Chen had never been talented in cooking, so he didn't ask too many questions and just followed Lin Xi's instructions.

The two of them had a tacit understanding of cooperation and handled the matter quickly.

Lin Xi marinated a jar of meat with the prepared spices and just when he directed Shen Chen to move it to the window sill of the kitchen, a voice suddenly sounded at the door.

"Excuse me, is this Lin Xi's house?"

Lin Xi turned around and saw a middle-aged woman coming outside and looking inwardly.

Strange and unfamiliar.

Lin Xi asked Shen Chen to go in and put the jar first, then walked over and said, "I am. Madam, who are you? What do you want from me?"

Lin Xi had actually been standing in the yard, and the woman would definitely be able to see her if she looked in. But the other woman didn't even look at her. Instead, she stared at a complete goose in the yard that she hadn't had time to deal with. As well as the dozens of eggs and three large plates of tofu that Lin Xi used to pickle salted eggs, he stared straight at them.

Lin Xi called out twice more before she came back to her senses and looked at Lin Xi.

Suddenly, the woman shouted, rushed forward, hugged Lin Xi, and cried bitterly: "My child! My aunt has finally found you!"

The woman's body smelled fishy as if she hadn't taken a bath all year round. Lin Xi was so dizzy from the smoke that her stomach was churning and she wanted to vomit. She wanted to get away. Unexpectedly, this woman was as strong as an ox, but she couldn't get away.

It was Shen Chen who heard the commotion and came out quickly. Seeing this, he came over and pulled the woman away.

Shen Chen frowned and threw away his hand without looking at the woman. He turned around and asked Lin Xi with his eyes.

Lin Xi was so hugged by the woman that she could barely breathe. She took a few deep breaths and shook her head at Shen Chen.

Hearing the cry of pain, she turned around and saw that the woman couldn't stand still and fell to the ground.

The other party seemed to be in disbelief. He looked at Shen Chen with wide eyes and shouted loudly: "You, you, you! You are her husband-in-law, right? How rude! I am an elder, how could you do this to me!"

She climbed up in a hurry, pointed at Shen Chen angrily and was about to scold him, but when she met Shen Chen's cold eyes, she was frightened, shrank her neck and backed away, and turned to complain to Lin Xi.

"Lin Xi, please take care of your husband-in-law, you don't know how to respect your elders!"

How could Lin Xi help her talk to Shen Chen? She frowned and took a step forward, standing in front of Shen Chen and saying, "Madam, who are you? If you have something to say, if you have nothing to do, turn around and walk slowly. The door is behind you."

The woman was in disbelief: "You don't know me?"

Lin Xi was confused, "Why do I know you?"

The woman glared at Lin Xi, but her face changed quickly. In an instant, she came up crying, holding Lin Xi's hand and said: "You heartless person, can't you recognize that I am your aunt?! My life is miserable. My sister has worked hard to raise you, and she has exhausted herself to death! I am your only relative now, how can you deny me!"

The woman's sharp voice gave Lin Xi a headache. He couldn't help but shake her off and said, "You can just talk and if you move your hands or feet, don't blame me for being rude!"

"As you grow up, your wings harden, right? How do you talk to me? I..."

The woman refused to give up and was directly interrupted by Lin Xi.

"I had parents when I was a child, but they passed away long ago, and they never told me that I still had relatives before they died. If you were my aunt, where were you when my mother passed away? Why have you never contacted her?"

Lin Xi has read the memory of the original owner. The original owner's parents were a lonely family. Therefore, after their death, the original owner became even more lonely and helpless. Only then did people in the same village have evil thoughts and seize the houses and fields left by the original owner's parents.

Otherwise, the original owner would not have been desperate and jumped into the river in despair.

The woman choked at her question and said hurriedly: "My child, you don't know something. At that time, there was famine everywhere. I had no choice but to take care of my whole family and move to other places to make a living. In recent years, there has been war and chaos. , it’s so difficult to contact your mother! But I remember your mother all the time. As soon as I got the chance, I came back to look for relatives. I never thought that she had passed away long ago and only you were left. child."

She spoke sincerely, with tears in her eyes, as if finding Lin Xi had wasted all her hard work and she had worked so hard.

The corner of Lin Xi's mouth twitched, and Mo De said emotionally: "Well, who is your surname? Where is your place of origin? What evidence is there to prove that you are my aunt?"

The woman suddenly opened her eyes wide and said angrily: "What do you mean? You don't believe me?"

Lin Xi nodded: "Yes, I don't believe you."

It was strange for her to believe that someone came to her door suddenly.

The woman spoke angrily, but before she could say anything, Lin Xi impatiently pushed her out.

"Can't you see that my family is busy? If you want to deceive others, don't rely on my family."

"My mother has no relatives, and I haven't seen any relatives in the past. If you insist on saying she is my aunt, bring her place of origin and witnesses. If not, then get away as far as you can."
