Chapter 564 A sin, truly a sin
Lin Chang'er wasn't interested in her cheap older brother's backyard and didn't ask any further questions.
After carefully inspecting the medicinal herbs that Chen Ming brought back and confirming that they were correct, they waited in the front hall.
We'll set off once everyone is ready.
To her surprise, not long after, Chen Yu was led to the front hall by the sobbing Aunt Liu.
The mother and son were followed by the wet nurse, who carried an unusually large bundle on her back.
As the three approached Lin Chang'er, Aunt Liu pushed Chen Yu toward her and turned her face away, saying, "Young lady, I am ignorant, but my master says you are very fortunate. Today, I entrust Yu-ge'er to you."
As he spoke, his voice choked with sobs, and his shoulders trembled.
Lin Chang'er strongly suspected that she wasn't looking at Chen Yu right now because she couldn't bear to part with him.
Looking at the little boy standing blankly in front of her, and then at Aunt Liu who had turned her back and was sobbing, she was struck by the sight of the little boy.
Lin Chang'er could understand her feelings quite well. After carrying her for ten months and giving birth to such a young child, she was about to be sent to another place and not be by her side. No mother could easily accept this.
But it's all her older brother's fault. I don't know what got into him, but he decided to invest in their family business in this way.
Although she couldn't bear to separate the mother and child, it was probably too late to return them now. What a tragedy, what a tragedy.
Lin Chang'er stood up, put her hands on Yu Ge'er's shoulders, turned around to face Aunt Liu's back, and then spoke, "Yu Ge'er is just going to stay at my place for a while, it's not like he's being sold to me, why is Aunt Liu making things so difficult for herself?"
"There must be a reason for my brother's arrangement. Neither you nor I can guess. But actually, our primary school will be on holiday in about ten days. We'll start school again after the New Year. At that time, Yu-ge will definitely come home for the New Year."
“After school starts again, we will have two long holidays every year, with two days off every five days. We will also have holidays as appropriate. I have a fleet of vehicles delivering seafood to Fucheng every day. Whenever Yu-ge misses home, I will arrange for the older children in the family to send him back. Since it is our own fleet, we can generally trust you.”
After saying that, she looked at Chen Yu and said, "Yu-ge'er, tell your aunt that you will be back soon and that you will remember to miss your aunt."
The little one was obedient and immediately turned to Aunt Liu, whispering words of comfort.
Aunt Liu, after all, felt sorry for her son. She hugged Yu-ge'er and cried again, instructing him between sobs, "When we get there, you must listen to your young mistress, understand? Don't cause trouble for your young mistress. If you are bullied, you must tell your young mistress, remember?"
Chen Yu nodded obediently, "I remember, Auntie, don't cry. Yu-ge'er is going to learn skills. Yu-ge'er will definitely study hard and not let Auntie down."
Aunt Liu wiped away her tears, rubbed her son's head, took out a bulging purse from her sleeve, and handed it to Lin Chang'er. "Little Miss, I don't have much money. This is what I've prepared for Yu'er's food, clothing, and daily necessities. I hope you will take good care of her in the future."
Lin Chang'er naturally refused, saying, "The family won't lack an extra pair of chopsticks. It's just that we've lost the wealth of the city. Whatever the children have, Yu-ge'er will have too."
He pushed the purse back to Aunt Liu, saying, "Keep it for yourself!"
Aunt Liu was about to refuse again when Prefect Chen arrived with his steward.
He walked very fast, his face somewhat displeased. The butler behind him was carrying a large box, which should be a souvenir or something prepared for the child.
Lin Chang'er didn't care about these things, and only asked, "How are the preparations going on Sister Shu'er's side?"
Upon hearing this, Prefect Chen's already less-than-pleasant expression completely collapsed. After all, it was a matter concerning his own household, and his younger sister was still young. Prefect Chen hesitated and said, "Aunt Nan is unwell and wants to keep Sister Shu by her side as a memento. It was my elder brother who was not considerate enough, making my younger sister wait for so long."
After saying this, his gaze towards Aunt Liu softened considerably, and there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, as if he were praising Aunt Liu for being sensible.
He then pulled out a token. "This is my token. From now on, whenever you enter the city, as long as you show this token, you can pass through any of the city gates."
This was a good thing, so Lin Chang'er naturally wouldn't refuse it. After thanking her, she accepted it.
It was when Lin Chang'er opened the box given to her by her elder brother in the carriage, dazzled by the various colored gems inside, and then pulled out a 30,000 tael silver note from the bottom of the box, marveling at how generous her elder brother was.
Hearing a child's voice calling from behind the carriage, "Auntie, wait a minute, Auntie, wait for Shu-jie..."
