”I don't have any!” Old Master Lin was confident and confident. He wasn't guilty at all.
”Hmph, my memory isn't that bad!” Lin Susu pulled open the board, ”I don't want to go anymore. Daddy, you always act shamelessly.”
”I'm being shameless, but you're still being shameless. Susu, this time you're clearly going to lose. Aren't you being shameless right now?” Old Master Lin was getting anxious.
Old Granny Lin smiled and pointed at Lin Susu and Old Master Lin, ”Alright, I've never seen anyone like you two. They're like two little kids quarrelling about this every day, what's there to argue about? You two have such terrible chess skills!”
”Who said I'm lacking?” Old Man Lin and Lin Susu spoke at the same time, looking at Old Lady Lin accusingly.
Lin Man walked over and said, ”Dad, do you want me to accompany you?”
”I'm not playing anymore, it's boring!” Old Man Lin stood up and stretched lazily, ”Susu, you've been sitting for too long. Let's go for a walk.”
”Sure, I'll buy some vegetables along the way!” Lin Susu stood up and smiled at Lin Man, ”Sis, when I come back to cook, you guys have a taste of my cooking skills.”
”Alright, no problem.” Lin Man smiled gently, her fingers almost digging into the meat.
Yao Su knew her conversation with Old Lady Lin had been heated. Gu Lin Le helped Old Lady Lin peel some oranges, occasionally coming up with something to say. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Lin Man leaned over and said, ”Mom, I have to talk to someone in the afternoon, so I entrust this matter to you. I was really annoyed with her on the way back.”
”Hmph, mom, you don't like accompanying me, so grandma is still the best!” Yao Su said while wrinkling her nose beside Old Lady Lin.
Gu Lin Huan suddenly asked, ”Aunt, I know where cousin lives. There's no more rooms available here.”
Lin Man was stunned.
Gu Lin Huan smiled, ”There are only three rooms here. Le Le Le and I have one room, grandma and grandma have one room, and my mother lives in a small room. It's impossible to live in two people. Do you know where cousin lives?”
Yao Susu rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly, ”Then I'll sleep on the sofa.”
As he spoke, he took Old Granny Lin's arm and kissed her, saying, ”Anyway, I'm going to be with my grandma, and no one can chase me away!”
”Good, good, good, then let's live here!” Old Granny Lin said happily.
Gu Lin Huan smiled and blinked her eyes: ”Then I'll have to trouble you to find out about my cousin!”
Not long later, Lin Susu and Grandpa Lin came back from their grocery shopping. Gu Lin Huan, Gu Lin Le and Lin Susu went to the kitchen to cook. Lin Man and Susu Qing accompanied Old Lady Lin in the hall to chat and laugh.
Master Lin coughed, ”Manman, can you help Susu cook? There's nothing to be done about it. ”
Lin Man froze. When had she ever been to the kitchen before? But thinking about it, Lin Susu was busy in the kitchen, so she couldn't stay there. She had no choice but to get up and go to the kitchen.
Lin Susu said, ”Sis, there's no need for you, just the few of us. The kitchen can't hold so many people.”
Gu Lin Huan clapped her hands, ”Great-Aunt, it's great that you're here. I'm going down to buy some salt. Choose a dish for me.”
With that, he stood up and left.
Gu Lin Le couldn't bear to watch any longer. She originally wanted to let Lin Man out, but then she thought that Gu Lin Huan had already lied and went out to buy salt. She couldn't let her chain up, so she could only teach Lin Man how to pick vegetables.
When she was almost done with her work here, Gu Lin Huan finally returned. Lin Man was already extremely busy.
When the meal was finally ready, Lin Man's face was already covered in sweat. The makeup on her face was all gone, and she had no choice but to wash her face.
Yao Susu wrinkled her nose and said, ”Grandma, why are you cooking? It's not like we lack money to order takeouts or go out for food!”
”That's not the same. The food I make is so clean!” Lin Susu took off her apron and answered casually.
”Right, right, not only is it clean, it's also delicious. Susu's cooking skills are much better than many chefs!” Old Granny Lin praised him profusely.
Yao Susu curled her lips and ate a few bites in disdain.
She was losing weight and eating less. After a few bites, she put down her chopsticks.
”Hey, I know, don't lose weight. You're not fat, hurry up and eat more!” Old Granny Lin's heart ached.
Everyone knew that Yao Susu was yelling about losing weight every day.
Gu Lin happily ate a few mouthfuls as he said with something in his mouth, ”Cousin, you're not fat. You don't need to lose weight at all.”
”Look, everyone, let's say that!” Old Lady Lin said.
However, Gu Lin's next sentence almost made Yao Susu die of anger.
Gu Lin Le continued, ”If you're not fat, then you're black!”
Gu Lin Huan was sipping her soup, and upon hearing these words, she almost couldn't spit it out. She quickly lowered her head, drank the mouthful of soup in her mouth, and wiped the corner of her mouth.
She knew that Gu Lin Le did not have any intention to mock Yao Susu because she was making a sincere suggestion.
Gu Lin Yue had been ignored since she was young. She rarely interacted with others, so she didn't really know how to talk. She always thought about what to say, and she also knew that her problems were always offending people, so she tried to speak as little as possible.
However, this half a month had been extremely comfortable. She had been chatting with Gu Lin Huan everyday, and had casually mentioned it just now.
However, his words were heart-wrenching.
Yao Susu stared at Gu Lin Le. She gritted her teeth so hard that they almost broke. With a wooden face, she gritted her teeth and said, ”I'm not black!”
Gu Lin Le happened to be next to Yao Susu. When she heard Yao Susu's words, she was stunned for a moment and carefully sized her up. After that, she stretched out her arm and compared it with Yao Susu's next to her.
Gu Lin Le's skin was snow-white, just like Lin Susu's. Compared to Yao Susu's arm, it was two different colors.
After taking a look, Gu Lin said, ”Hmm, it's not too black, but it'll be better if you whiter it. I'll tell you how to whiten it up, you can use honey and tomatoes every night …”
”Shut up!” Yao Susu shouted.
Gu Lin Le trembled in fright. The bowl in her hand was about to fall off. She turned her head and looked at Yao Susu in panic.
”I know. What are you doing? Don't you know how to speak properly?” Lin Man scolded.
Old Lady Lin also said, ”I know that you're a bit quiet, but Le Le is a bit timid.”
”Ma, Grandma, didn't you hear what she said about me?” Yao Su knew that she was going to die from anger. ”She said I'm black!”
”I... ”When I spoke the truth …” ”I don't have any other intentions. I just want to tell you how to whiten it up. What I saw online was honey and tomatoes …”
”Enough!” Yao Su shouted in annoyance, ”Who said anything about Earth Cube? You are already a member of the Lin Clan, is it really alright for you to only recognize them so little?” It's not like skincare products don't add white, what's the use of those? ”
”Isn't it useless for you to use whitening skincare products every day? ”Isn't that my good intention …” Gu Lin Le had a wronged expression.
She truly felt wronged, because she really did not have any ill intentions. She wanted to sincerely help Yao Su find out.
She did not understand why Yao Su was so angry.
”Alright, alright.” Old Granny Lin chuckled, stepped over Yao Susu and affectionately patted Gu Lin Le's hand, ”Le Le is just being too honest. Alright, in the future, don't say that you know your cousin is being unlucky, do you understand?”
”Alright, I won't say anything else from now on!” Gu Lin Le nodded his head obediently.
”Grandma!” Yao Susu shouted in dissatisfaction.
”Alright, it's nothing much. Let's eat!” Old Granny Lin patted Yao Susu's hand soothingly.
”I'm not eating anymore!” Yao Su Zhi pushed the bowl away angrily and sat on the sofa.
Gu Lin Huan almost died from happiness. She happily ate two more bowls of rice.
After dinner, as usual, Gu Lin Huan and Gu Lin Le cleaned up the dishes and washed the pots and pans.
Gu Lin called out happily, ”Cousin Zhi Zhi, come, wash the dishes. This is our rule, every time after the meal, we, the juniors, wash the dishes.”
”I don't know how to wash!” Yao Susu said.
Lin Man kicked her, ”I know, go wash the dishes.”
”Okay, okay, the two of you …” Old Granny Lin originally wanted to let Gu Lin Huan and Gu Lin Le wash the dishes, but when she raised her head, she saw that Gu Lin Huan and Gu Lin Le, the two sisters, were eagerly looking at Yao Susu.
Gu Lin Huan said, ”Elder Cousin Zhi Zhi, come, let's wash the dishes together and chat while we're at it. Le Le is and I often do this, you come along too.”
She was afraid that Yao Su would be ignored by her, so she called her to chat and wash the dishes together with her. Thus, she pushed Yao Susu and said, ”Alright, you're still so lazy when you're old. Look, your two female cousins have already washed the dishes. You're the oldest, how can you be lazy? Go, you three sisters should go and have a nice chat.”
Yao Susu clenched her teeth and walked into the kitchen with a sullen face.
