CHAPTER 197: CHAPTER 197: BIG SISTER DIDN’T BLAME THEM

When they got home, the children, though on vacation, had still woken up early to prepare breakfast, waiting for their eldest sister to eat.

Currently, only Lin Daliang lived in the main house; no one else had come over, so it was empty.

The living room was large enough, so the dining table was placed next to the kitchen.

"Sis, are we going home this afternoon?" Xiao Shan asked while eating breakfast.

"Sure! Once we pay off the money, we can go home!" Lin Xue replied, taking a bite of a bun.

The buns were filled with meat, which her three sisters had chopped the night before, preparing the dough early in the morning for her.

Pure meat filling, and especially delicious.

"Let’s pay off the money early and go home! We can still help out! We don’t even know how the house construction is going!" Lin Chuan chimed in with his brother.

With that, Lin Yun and Lin Xia seemed a bit conflicted.

Both of them wanted to go home to help, but their classmates had already brought over fabric, and they wanted to finish the sewing in two days.

They had stayed up half the night last night and managed to finish two sets, but if they went home, they could only return on Sunday afternoon, and they wouldn’t finish the clothes in time!

This was all thanks to the candles as thick as a baby’s arm, prepared by their eldest sister. Although the town had electricity, it was unstable, with half the week spent without power.

"Sis... how is the house construction going?" Lin Yun asked softly.

"It should be done in about three more days!" Lin Xue laughed cheerfully, clearly in a great mood.

Not living in that small, cramped mud house anymore, how could she not be happy?

"So soon? It’s only been two weeks, right?" Lin Xia was also happy.

"Exactly! I thought building a five-room brick house would take a long time, but it went by so quickly," Xiao Shan said excitedly.

"Sis... can I skip going back home this weekend?" Lin Yun thought for a long time before speaking up.

If she went home, not to mention her homework, the clothes definitely wouldn’t be finished.

The weather was getting warmer, and it was time for lighter clothes. She wanted to quickly make a set for the family, and her classmates were eagerly waiting, eager to wear them.

"Why? Do you have something to do?" Lin Xue asked, puzzled.

It was even better if they didn’t go back. If they didn’t, she could stay here to see if she could buy a bicycle.

"I... I..." Lin Yun didn’t know how to say it.

"What’s the matter? Go ahead and say it," Lin Xue worried, thinking why this child always had trouble speaking.

"Sis, second sis needs to sew clothes for the girls in her class, so if we go home, it won’t be finished!" Lin Xia said directly.

Lin Yun nodded along, "Sis, I’m just using the holiday to do it so it doesn’t affect my studies, really!"

"Sewing clothes for classmates?" Lin Xue asked again.

"It’s like this, sis. The two of us are often changing clothes, and the classmates in our class really like them. Then one of our friends told them that my second sister made them, so they asked her to make a set for them too. They’ve given the fabric and are waiting for the clothes. We get half extra fabric, so it’s quite worth it! So we agreed!" Lin Xia explained clearly.

"I see! That’s fine, you two stay at home and sew! But don’t forget to do your homework! I’ll stay with you for a couple of days! I’ll leave when Dad comes back!" Lin Xue agreed generously.

She did not blame them.

The two of them looked up, filled with surprise and joy.

"Really, sis? Can I take on such jobs in the future? I could make clothes for the family with just a few sets!" Lin Yun asked happily.

"Hmm... practicing isn’t bad! As long as it doesn’t affect your studies, you can take more jobs... but don’t neglect your studies! Our family doesn’t lack those few sets of clothes!" Lin Xue said generously.

"Got it, sister. I’ll study hard and won’t let it affect my studies."

"Alright then! You two don’t need to go! I’ll go with Xiao Shan and Little Chuan!" Lin Xue said.

The two of them were extremely happy and quickly returned to their breakfast.

"Sis... I..." Lin Shuang spoke softly.

The delicious buns and meat porridge couldn’t make her eat; she was always worrying about the four hundred yuan.

Even though her sister said she would help solve it, she knew that four hundred yuan was no small amount, and how would her big sister solve it?

Wouldn’t she end up fighting with others?

These questions kept swirling in her mind, leaving her unable to calm down.

"Little Shuang, come along with us at noon!" Lin Xue, unaware of her thoughts, just said this.

She wanted to take Lin Shuang to see for herself, then help her sort it out, so she could be at ease.

"Okay! I got it, sis!" Lin Shuang quickly agreed.

"Eat more! Do your homework when we get back! I’ll be back before noon! You three had better finish your weekend homework by then!" Lin Xue instructed.

Seeing the five of them with their heads down eating, she also began to enjoy the food in front of her.

After finishing breakfast, she left the table for her sisters to clean up and went out.

She had to take advantage of the morning to get her things done.

First, she went to the warehouse, took out the supplies that needed to be taken.

Then she went to Wang Cheng’s house.

When she arrived, Wang Cheng was getting ready to go out, but when he saw her, he quickly unlocked the door again.

"Miss, I have something this time. Didn’t you say before to collect any coupons? I just got some bicycle coupons and a sewing machine coupon yesterday, do you need them?"

Lin Xue was delighted to hear this. She needed them, wanted to buy a bicycle for her dad, and if there were enough tickets, get bicycles for the youngsters so they wouldn’t have to walk back and forth.

"Alright! I was just thinking of buying bicycles! How many coupons are there?" Lin Xue asked.

"There are three bicycle coupons, and one sewing machine coupon!" Wang Cheng replied.

"Three is not enough! What should I do about dividing them, better not buy them, who would I give and who not?" Lin Xue muttered.

"Miss, how many bicycles do you need? I’ll think of something, it shouldn’t be a problem!" Wang Cheng said.

"Six, it’s a large family..." Lin Xue explained.

"Okay, I’ll think of something. Why don’t I just buy them directly for you, so you don’t have to make another trip!"

Wang Cheng was devoted to Lin Xue now, practically starting to worship her as a benefactor.

She was truly his benefactor, and having this opportunity for change was all thanks to this young miss’s support.

Not only could they buy a few bicycles, but he was even willing to pay them out of pocket for her.

"That’s great, three for men and three for women, it’s okay if they are a bit pricier! I’ll leave the money for the bicycles when we settle up later!" Lin Xue said happily.

This way, it saved her a trip to Chenxi County.

The town’s supply and marketing cooperative didn’t have bicycles, they had to go to Chenxi County to buy them, which was quite a hassle.

After settling up with Wang Cheng, she dropped by Li Qiang.

Last time she gave him all the supplies he wanted, she wanted to see if he was lacking anything, but Li Qiang had gone out on a trip and wasn’t home.

On the way back, Lin Xue took out two fish, planning to have them for dinner.

With two four-to-five-pound fish in hand, she walked home quite openly, not afraid of being seen.
