Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s

Part 40 How did you know my daughter was back?

Everyone knew how much Si Nian used to like Fu Yao. As Lin Sisi uttered these words, both Mr. and Mrs. Si looked at her disapprovingly. It was already tragic enough that she couldn't marry the person she liked. Now she had to go watch him take wedding photos with another woman and get married? It was simply too cruel.

But unexpectedly, Si Nian lifted her gaze and smiled. "Sure," she replied.

Lin Sisi gritted her teeth, convinced that Si Nian was intentionally pretending not to care, maybe even secretly jealous of her! She probably even planned to use this opportunity to get close to Fu Yao. When that happened, she would make sure Zhou Yue Shen saw Si Nian's true colors.

Fu Yao himself disliked women who played games, and Si Nian's behavior would surely make both men despise her!

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Sisi's aggrieved mood improved somewhat.

The Si family didn't stay long, and after speaking, they left without agreeing to stay for dinner, despite Lin's parents' insistence. Seeing how poor the Lin family was, what food could they possibly offer? It was already considered good if they could eat their fill. It would only be awkward for them to stay.

As they got into the car and looked back at the dilapidated house of the Lin family, Zhang Cuimei couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. "With a house like this, I wonder if Nian Nian can adapt. She's been spoiled since she was little."

Mr. Si also felt distressed. They had originally come to cause trouble, but now seeing their child brought to such a shabby mountain village, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

"After all, they helped raise Sisi for over ten years," Lin's mother said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Sisi was on the verge of exploding. Hadn't she grown up here since she was a child? Wasn't she pitiful as well! What a bunch of useless people!

After the Si family left, the atmosphere at the Lin household lightened considerably. Zhou Yue Shen and Lin's father sat in the yard, drinking tea and chatting. Meanwhile, Si Nian walked into the house, intending to put Yao Yao to bed, only to find her two younger brothers standing by the table, eagerly eyeing the cookies and candies placed on it.

Although Lin's family conditions were not ideal, they still provided a decent upbringing for their children. The two boys were growing up normally, still retaining the innocence and mischief of their age.

Seeing her enter the room, Lin Yu shifted slightly towards his brother and whispered, "Bro, she's here."

A month ago, they had learned that Lin Sisi was not their biological sister, and that their real sister lived in the city. Losing their sister had saddened them deeply. Later, when this new sister came, she wouldn't even spare them a glance, causing their parents much distress. Rumors in the village even suggested that she looked down on their poverty and refused to return. So, the two boys had decided they didn't want her as their sister anymore.

Now that she suddenly returned, although they didn't fully understand, they knew she probably wasn't leaving again. Lin Feng stared at Si Nian, remaining silent.

林雨's anger grew as he thought about it. He had no desire to listen to her words at all. Si Nian also didn't expect that seeing her would change everyone's attitude towards her. Seeing her stepmother and Zhou Sui Sui busy in the kitchen, she walked in to help.

"Mom, I'll take care of it. You go talk to Dad and the others about the wedding," Si Nian said.

Ever since her daughter came back, Lin's mother had been wearing a smile on her face, looking radiant and several years younger. Now she really wanted to discuss the wedding with her husband and son-in-law, especially since her husband was clueless about such matters. But with the whole family waiting to eat, she couldn't just sit idle.

Hearing her daughter offer to help, she was surprised. "How can I let you do this? You should sit down, my child."

Lin Sisi had grown up with them and had never been allowed to set foot in the kitchen. Her delicate nature made them even more reluctant to let her do so.

Si Nian insisted, "Mom, I enjoy cooking normally. Besides, I don't understand what Zhou Big Brother and Dad are talking about. It's better for me to help here than to be idle. You go talk to them; you're more experienced."

"Don't worry, cooking isn't a big deal."

Hearing her daughter speak like this, Lin's mother's eyes turned slightly red. "You're such a sensible child."

Si Nian smiled helplessly.

林妈妈 happily walked out, and Si Nian took out the pork from the basket to clean it. But just as she squatted down, she suddenly felt a shadow over her.

Looking up, she saw a tall figure standing at the kitchen door. It was Zhou Yue Shen. He walked in and saw Si Nian squatting on the ground. He approached and said, "Let me do it."

"Where are my parents?" Si Nian asked in confusion.

Zhou Yue Shen glanced at her and replied, "Your dad went to call someone to eat, and your mom went to buy groceries."

Because their arrival was sudden, the family wasn't prepared. Lin's father was excited and hurried out to spread the good news.

Neighboring spectators: "Lin, where are you going?"

Lin's father: "How did you know that my daughter is getting married?"

Neighboring spectators: "...."

Passerby: "Lin, aren't you working in the fields today?"

Lin's father: "Yeah, my daughter came back."

Passerby: "???"

一 short time later, the whole village knew that the daughter of the Lin family had not only returned but was also going to marry Zhou Yue Shen.

Now, not only did they not have to pay back the money, but they also gained a relationship with the Zhou family!

Relatives and neighbors, whether close or distant, came to offer their congratulations, while some came to verify the news. In any case, after today, the Lin family's fortunes were about to change.

Establishing a good relationship with the Lin family would mean establishing a good relationship with the Zhou family as well.

When Si Nian went out again, the small courtyard of the Lin family was filled with people. The house was bustling with noise and excitement. She was worried that Yao Yao would be disturbed and start crying if she didn't see anyone, so she hurried over to her.
