Back to the city
After walking through a long rural trail, I arrived at the door of the mute's house and it was already past twelve o'clock. Lin Xin looked at the familiar hut and felt a sense of sorrow. She raised her hand and gently knocked on the heavy wooden door.
After a long time, the mute woman fumbled for a long time before she opened the door. Obviously, her hands and feet were becoming less and less flexible and she was less able to use her strength.
"Mutual woman..." Lin Xin called out happily. If she hadn't been holding the baby, she would have really wanted to pounce on her and hug her.
After hearing the sound, the mute woman looked at the playful Lin Xin and began to gesture: "Xiaoxin, why are you here? Come in and talk!"
Lin Xin nodded understandingly, found a wooden bench in the room and sat down, grabbed the calloused hand of the mute lady, and couldn't wait to say, "My mute, I'm here this time, there is something I've asked for your help, you must agree to me."
"Stop kidding, what else can I do to you with this old bone?" The mute smiled happily. He had two fewer teeth than last year, and his wrinkles deepened. The real years are unforgivable, Lin Xin sighed sadly.
"I want to take you to live in the city and help me take care of my baby. I have to go out to work during the day to make money, and I don't have parents, so I can only ask you for help." Lin Xin said as she begged sadly. She really likes that the mute woman can help her, and it's not in vain that she has traveled all the way here.
The mute woman hesitated for a moment, and gestured with a sad expression: "This...but I can't bear to leave this place, come and live with me!"
"I think so, but I just can't walk away. It's too far from where I go to work." Lin Xin muttered her little mouth, and her aggrieved look on her face, making her feel distressed.
"Then I won't go to work. If I'm short of money, I'm not using the money you gave me last time. There are still some jewelry that you can pick up and block." As he said that, the mute woman shook her shriveled hand and began to remove the silver bracelet from her wrist.
The mute lady gestured for a long time before Lin Xin understood what the mute lady meant. After being moved for a while, she still insisted on her idea. She must wait until Nangong Yu comes back, or knowing that Nangong Yu has completely ignored her.
After a moment of sadness, Lin Xin took the bracelet of the mute, carefully put it back into the mute's wrist. Tears wet my eyes. He grabbed the mute's hand tightly and murmured: "How can I use your money? Mute, you are in my heart, just like my mother, I also want to serve you well, face birth, old age, sickness and death with you, okay?"
Lin Xin's words made the mute who had always been companionship with loneliness and surrender, and seemed to be unable to find a reason to persevere, so he nodded firmly.
Lin Xin smiled happily, her eyes were startled with tears, and she slid down instantly, and then she picked up the baby on her knees: "Come on, baby, give the mute hug..."
The mute woman hurriedly took the baby, looked at the elf's little head, and smiled happily.
Then, Lin Xin and Ya Po packed up a simple luggage together and stepped on a heavy lock on the wooden door. Ya Po's heart was pounding, but with Lin Xin's comfort, he smiled and embarked on the way home.
The moment Lin Xin helped the mute woman pack her luggage, she saw that the mute woman was reluctant and nostalgic for this small house, so she secretly swore that she would be kind to the mute woman like she was to her biological mother until the end of her life.

After taking the mute lady back to the apartment, watching Lin Xin helping the mute lady tidy up her clothes, Sister Liu, who was standing beside her, began to be anxious like an ant that had passed by. She seemed to know what was going on, but she didn't dare to conclude that it was really that way.
Finally, when the mute lady went to the bathroom, Sister Chen pulled Lin Xin aside, frowned, and asked anxiously: "My little Xinxin, can you want this sloppy grandma to live here?"
Sister Chen's disgusting expression made Lin Xin suddenly feel timid.
Then, he nodded sadly: "Well, Sister Chen, I'm just about to tell you about this. The mute lady is like my mother. She is kind to me, just like my mother. I want to take good care of her and she can help me take care of the children."
"Lin Xin, what do you mean?" She finally understood. She wanted to drive her away and let the mute woman take her place, and it was free.
Sister Chen’s words made Lin Xin a little confused. She obviously couldn’t understand her willingness to do so. So she hurriedly explained: “Sorry, Sister Chen, after paying your monthly salary this month, I only have more than 1,000 yuan left, which is only enough to pay the rent, so…”
"So you want to drive me away?" Sister Chen smiled coldly, interrupted Lin Xin's somewhat stammering words, and said bluntly.
Of course, when Sister Chen heard that she was going to fire her, she was angry. She was delicious and had a good living here, and was close to the place to work, so she didn't have to squeeze into the dormitory. She still had a salary of 1,000 yuan a month.
So, Sister Chen's re-disapproval made Lin Xin lose any hope of explanation, and as long as she chose to give up the explanation: "I'm really sorry, I don't know how to say it!"
"Lin Xin, Lin Xin, don't cry here, you're pretending to be merciful. Do you think I don't know? With your beauty, you hooked up with many men and took off a few clothes. Someone obediently put a handful of money into your pocket. You are the boss, and I have nothing to say when you fire me, but please don't use such despicable means, it's really disgusting."
Sister Chen's face changed drastically, and every word was aggressive and looked merciless.
However, Sister Chen's harsh words made Lin Xin feel no guilt towards her. It was Lin Xin's fault without notifying her in advance, but when she said this, Lin Xin's heart became smoother.
"Since I'm making you disgusted, then you can leave quickly!" Lin Xin said indifferently, making Sister Chen angry.
Sister Chen glared at Lin Xin fiercely, so Sister Chen turned around and went to pack up her things angrily. Only then did she realize that the mute lady was standing behind them and glared at the mute lady without hesitation.
The mute woman glanced at Lin Xin in confusion, and then began to stumble and said, "What's going on? Who is the child's father?"
"Yan Po, this matter is a long story. I will tell you slowly from now on. Now I will cook something for you. What do you want to eat for dinner?" Lin Xin said gently, not intending to tell Ya Po about Nangong Yu. It was not that she deliberately wanted to hide it from Ya Po, but that she really didn't know where to start.
