《Farmer's Pampered Wife: Farming Crops To Raise A Bun》Chapter 14: A Life Not Fitting For Humans

"Xiaoya, don't...don't talk to your elder sister like that, it's all your Mother's fault. It's all your Mother's fault…"
Wang-shi weakly pulled on Xiaoya's arm.
Hearing these words, anger suddenly burst in Lin Xiaoye's heart.
The original owner is really a bastard, she's so unfilial. She deserves to die!
This Wang-shi was truly pitiful. They all said that parents are really pitiful; even at a time like this, she still wanted to help her daughter.
Yeah right, who told her to use the original owner's body and also have to pay off her debts?
"Xiaoya, hurry and help Mother go to my house. I still have some food there. You and Mother should eat some first."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
"Oh, Old Huo's wife has really changed. She used to be stingy to everybody, even to her own mother. Why is she taking them to her house now?"
"That's right, I guessed she had finally found her conscience? Look at the things she did before, it really wasn't something a human could do."
"Oh, everyone let's not just talk here. Look at Aunt Wang, she's about to die now. She needs to be fed immediately!"
As these people talked, Xiaoya, who was at the side, also felt that something was wrong with her Elder Sister.
She...was she really her Elder Sister, Lin Xiaoye? She actually care about Mother?
At this moment, Huo Li didn't feel much. After all, he had seen more of Lin Xiaoye's changes.
Fortunately, Huo Li was there, so he carried Wang-shi on his back.
Xiaoya was still young and couldn't even fill her stomach. Furthermore, her body was very thin and small. Even though Lin Xiaoye had eaten a few meals, she hadn't gained a lot of weight in one or two days.
"Xiaoya, watch over Mother for a moment. I'll go to the kitchen and cook something for you both. It'll be done in a moment."

With that, she rolled up her sleeves and headed to the kitchen.
Xiaoya sat on the bed and stared at the room with her round eyes. Previously, the room was dark and full of spider webs. Now, it looked a lot cleaner than before.
Just as she was thinking this, Little Mochi came over carefully holding a bowl of water in his hands. He had a careful look on his face as he was afraid that the water would spill out.
After passing the bowl to Xiaoya, his bright black eyes cautiously looked at her for a moment before lowering his head. His lips moved, but no sound came out.
Xiaoya naturally understood what Little Mochi wanted to say.
"Little Mochi is such a good boy."
As she spoke, Xiaoya took the bowl from his hands and touched his head. In a flash, she carefully fed two mouthfuls to Wang-shi.
At this moment, Little Mochi turned around and ran in front of Huo Li. Then, he raised his head and snorted twice at Huo Li's leg.
Huo Li looked at him, then patted his head.
"Little Mochi did the right thing."
Hearing that, Little Mochi smiled happily.
Huo Li's eyebrows immediately relaxed when he saw Little Mochi smiling.
"Huo Li, I'm almost done here. Clean up the table in the house."
Lin Xiaoye shouted from the kitchen.
Huo Li glanced towards the kitchen and went to clean up the table.
It was hard to say why he was listening to Lin Xiaoye's arrangements. Perhaps what she was saying now was what he thought was right as well.
At the same time, Xiaoya stared at Huo Li before jumping off the bed.
"Don't you blame my Elder Sister?"
Her Elder Sister had done that kind of thing and ruined his reputation, so why would he listen to her Elder Sister like that?
Huo Li looked at Xiaoya, who had reached his waist. In his eyes, Xiaoya was only a little bigger than Little Mochi and she was still a child.

Huo Li opened his mouth. "Don't you want me to live a good life with your Elder Sister?"
Hearing that, Xiaoya was stunned. Just as she was wondering what Huo Li was thinking, Lin Xiaoye's voice sounded out.
"Come, it's time to eat!"
Xiaoya subconsciously looked over and was startled, her eyes immediately opened wide.
Dumplings! Elder sister actually have dumplings to eat? White flour is a very precious thing. She even had white flour?
Thinking of this, Xiaoya subconsciously asked, "Elder Sister, this white flour…"
Lin Xiaoye didn't think much about it, "I bought this the last time I went to town with your Brother-in-Law. It's all dumplings with eggs wrapped in wild vegetables that I personally made, hurry up and eat it while it's hot."
After saying that, Lin Xiaoye walked over to the bedside.
"Mother, please get up and eat some dumplings. After you finish eating, your body will be comfortable."
She was very familiar with Wang-shi's symptoms. She didn't even need to look to know that she was definitely hypoglycemic and was sick from starvation. Just by looking at her thin yellow face and pale lips, she was probably suffering from severe anemia.
Alas, what kind of life did she have?
When she arrived at the table, Wang-shi looked at the two plates of dumplings on the table and was immediately surprised. She hurriedly pulled Lin Xiaoye's hand with excitement.
"Xiaoye...this...this, Mother isn't seeing things, right? Is this really dumplings?"
Ever since she married into the Lin Family, she had never seen a white flour, let alone a dumpling.
Lin Xiaoye immediately felt her heart ache. She didn't know if it was the original owner's feelings, or something, but she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Mother, this is dumplings. Eat it while it's still hot. Xiaoya, hurry up and eat it as well."
Then, Lin Xiaoye placed another plate in front of Huo Li.
"You should have some too."
Huo Li and Little Mochi were already used to it. They had eaten dumplings before, but now, looking at the dumplings on the plate, Xiaoya and Wang-shi didn't dare to make a move. They were drooling, but they were reluctant to start and just dared to smell the scent.
Lin Xiaoye immediately pulled on Xiaoya: "Xiaoya, hurry up and eat. Otherwise, Mother won't be able to eat either. Her body won't be able to take it anymore later."
Hearing that, Xiaoya immediately turned to look at Wang-shi. Originally, she couldn't bear to start eating, but upon hearing Lin Xiaoye's words, she swallowed her saliva and picked up a dumpling from the bowl with her chopsticks.
Following which, she also picked one up and gave it to Wang-shi. "Mother, hurry and eat it while it's hot. If it gets cold, it won't taste good anymore."
With that, Xiaoya quickly looked at the dumpling in her bowl, then looked at Lin Xiaoye. After confirming that she wasn't dreaming, she raised her hand and stuffed the dumpling into her mouth.
She immediately closed her eyes, not daring to open it or chew. She was worried that she was just dreaming and would wake up as soon as she chewed.
However, the fragrance that lingered between her lips and teeth was really alluring. Making her want to chew it. Unknowingly, she had already eaten the dumpling in her mouth.
Xiaoya immediately opened her eyes and looked at Lin Xiaoye with wide eyes.
"Elder Sister, did you really made these dumplings?"
She had never eaten dumplings before, but it was the most delicious dumpling she had ever eaten.
Lin Xiaoye smiled: "Of course I made it. Is it delicious?"
Xiao Ya quickly nodded her head, "It's delicious, it's very delicious."
After saying that, Xiaoya quickly picked up another dumpling for Wang-shi.
"Mother, these dumplings are really delicious. Hurry up and have a taste."
