Chapter 581 Why are there so many children?
"What?" Lin Chang'er was taken aback when she heard him say that, and thought she had misheard.
The waiter glanced at Sister-in-law Gu, who was carefully carrying the children off the carriage, and whispered again, "Master Lin, has your friend taken a fancy to the little one?" Otherwise, why would he keep staring at him the whole way?
Lin Chang'er's eyes widened, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Afraid of embarrassing Sister-in-law Gu, she tried hard to suppress her laughter, "How do you know?"
The waiter pursed his lips, looking rather embarrassed, and said, "I know it's not good to say this, but Mr. Lin, that Mrs. Gu has been watching me like my own eyes all the way here, it's really unsettling."
Lin Chang'er couldn't hold back any longer; her shoulders trembled from his words. She tried to keep her voice down as she said, "Don't worry, Sister-in-law Gu will definitely not be interested in you."
After saying that, I felt that what I said sounded a little unpleasant.
He explained, "I don't mean she looks down on you, I just mean she definitely wouldn't like you."
After the explanation, the waiter's entire face contorted in pain. It would have been better not to explain at all!
Seeing this, Lin Chang'er still tried to make amends, saying, "Let me put it this way! Sister-in-law Gu has no intention of remarrying."
If she wanted to remarry, she should have done so long ago. Why did she have to support her brother-in-law through so many years of hardship?
Is it a case of forcing oneself to endure hardship when there is none?
While remarriage doesn't necessarily guarantee a good outcome, there's really no need to wait so many years.
We can't just wait until my brother-in-law passes the exam and then use his connections to find someone else.
Any brother-in-law with a conscience wouldn't do such a thing.
As the saying goes, "an elder sister-in-law is like a mother." A conscientious younger brother-in-law who has made something of himself will naturally treat his sister-in-law, who has helped him along the way, as his mother.
Hearing her say that, the waiter felt relieved.
He still found Gu Dasao's actions very strange, but since Lin Dongjia had already said so, he couldn't very well press her for more information.
So he scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "Oh, I see! Hehe..."
Lin Chang'er readily agreed and asked him, "Are you staying tonight and coming with me to deliver supplies tomorrow, or do you have to return right now?"
The waiter exclaimed, "Huh?" "Third Master didn't say."
Lin Chang'er thought for a moment, "You've been busy all night, so stay here tonight and help me take care of these children. Tomorrow, you can come with me to deliver supplies to town."
The waiter nodded and said nothing.
Aunt Gu and the others had already heard the commotion and came out to greet them. When they saw the children of all ages standing at the door, they were immediately dumbfounded.
Aunt Gu asked anxiously, "Chang'er, why are there so many children?"
Although he had a history of taking people into his home, Lin Yanqing came to seek refuge with his own bedding, and Wang Xiuer and her son were related by marriage.
This is the first time I've encountered so many unfamiliar children.
Hearing Aunt Gu ask this question, Da Zhuang, who had brought his younger siblings back with Lin Chang'er, couldn't help but feel nervous.
Seeing that the female knight's clothes and appearance were not luxurious, he initially thought she was a wandering knight!
Who knew my family had such a big house?
He should have thought about it when he got into the carriage: in this dynasty, how could a family without a certain status use a carriage?
He originally thought that if she were a wandering knight, he could bring his younger siblings with him and take care of them.
Looking at it now, it's clear how much they needed their help. No wonder she said at the alley entrance that you had to listen to her in everything to follow her.
Although they will definitely obey, it's uncertain whether her family will be willing to take them in.
If she could take them in, her younger siblings would finally have a place to stay, and they would surely repay her kindness.
But what if her family doesn't agree?
As Da Zhuang thought this, his heart jumped into his throat.
Lin Chang'er didn't look at the children's reaction, only said "Oh", and explained in a normal way: "Didn't the pirates go to town last night? Most of these children are wanderers who came to town, saying they wanted to follow me to fight the pirates, so I brought them back. There are still many on my father's ship."
“They followed me through the fire many times tonight, and they’re covered in ash. I’ll have to trouble you, Mom, to boil some more water so they can wash up.”
