Affair in Linyue Town

Chapter 1 Linyue Town B&B

The night was gradually surrounded by cold air, and the sparsely populated Linyue Town couldn't wait to quiet down.

The winter night in Linyue Town was bitterly cold.

At the east end of Linyue Town, there is a homestay.The name is also simple, it is called Linyue B&B.

Linyue Homestay is a five-story self-built house, with a whole glass window on the first floor.

In the B&B, the soft lights were on, and a seven or eight-year-old girl in a thin school uniform timidly stood at the door of the B&B, looking inside.

The shopkeeper, sister Lin, is not here...

But a mass of warmth seems to be continuously pouring out from the homestay.

For Qingqing's sake, Sister Lin built a fireplace in the yard on the first floor.

It's so cold, sister Lin must have lit a fireplace inside.

Qingqing suddenly mustered up her courage and walked into the homestay.

Sure enough, the yard on the first floor was warm and the fireplace was burning.On the wooden floor, there was a short-haired woman on a comfortable beanbag sofa, flipping through a book.To the right of the woman is a dense wall of books.

Qingqing was a little disappointed, it wasn't Sister Lin...

The wooden floor was wiped clean, Qingqing looked down at her somewhat dirty shoes, and dared not step on them.

Still, go home.

Although Sister Lin said that as long as she wants to come, she can come anytime.

But she doesn't want to go home...

Qingqing bit her lip, and nestled in the corner separating the first floor from the courtyard, staring blankly at the fireplace.

A female voice outside called her name: "Qingqing, Qingqing!"

It was mother's voice.

But Qingqing didn't want to respond.

Just now, her mother slapped her again and blamed her for not taking good care of her brother, so she ran out of the house.

Mom's voice got closer: "Qingqing, are you inside?!"

Qingqing pursed her lips tightly.

Mom seemed to stop at the door of the hotel: "Shopkeeper Lin, shopkeeper Lin!"

People in the town call Sister Lin to be shopkeeper Lin.

But behind the scenes, my mother called Sister Lin an old lady.

Sister Lin is 30 years old and not married yet.But my mother is younger than Sister Lin, but she is already eight years old.

Mom looked down on Sister Lin very much.

The last time she picked herself up from the homestay, she couldn't wait to educate her on the way: "You can't be like her in the future. You are old and haven't married yet. She is too old and won't be able to have children in the future. When you grow old No one is waiting for her, maybe they just want you to raise her because of the little favors they have shown you!"

Qingqing didn't speak.She was ignorant of what her mother was talking about, vaguely understanding.

Last time, Sister Lin just couldn't see it and took her in for a while. Why did my mother say that Sister Lin couldn't have a baby?

Obviously, Sister Lin looks very young and beautiful.At least much younger than my mother.Qingqing secretly thought in her heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud.

Mom was still calling outside: "Shopkeeper Lin, shopkeeper Lin!"

The woman sitting in front of the fireplace reading a book reacted, and responded, "Master Lin has gone to the town clinic!"

Shopkeeper Lin's father was not feeling well a few days ago, and he has been living in the clinic for several days.

Mom muttered outside: "Could it be that Qingqing isn't inside?"

Quiet outside.

Mom looked down on Sister Lin, so she probably wouldn't come into the B&B to find her.

Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.Although she still has to go home after all, she is also very satisfied to have a moment of peace.The messy home, the endless crying of her younger brother, and the roaring and slapping of her mother all made her young heart tremble.

She is greedy for the warmth of Sister Lin's place.

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly saw a fat figure rushing towards her, that person's expression was ugly: "You are here indeed!"

It's mom!
Frightened, Qingqing stepped on the polished wooden floor without taking off her shoes.ah!Sister Lin's floor was trampled dirty by her!Qingqing panicked and looked down at the footprints on the floor.Soon, her mother picked her up and shouted angrily, "Don't think that someone will stand up for you! You are my daughter, and it's not up to her, Lin Yue, to tell me what to do!" Lin Yue is sister Lin's name.

The woman sitting on the lazy sofa looked at the mother and daughter in surprise, and stood up: "Who are you?"

The woman has a slender figure, short chestnut hair and a pearl earring shining brightly on her earlobe.She was wearing a gray sweater and cardigan, with a lively face and bright red lips, which made Qingqing's mother feel ashamed for a moment.

But those who get involved with Lin Yue are not good people.

This woman, like Lin Yue, must be unmarried and have no children, and she can dress herself up beautifully without the burden of daily necessities.

Qingqing's mother suddenly regained her confidence.She stared at the short-haired woman with a sharp tone: "My Qingqing hid in your homestay, and I worked hard to find her outside, but you didn't say a word! It's easy for me to find her!"

The short-haired woman's eyes first fell on Qingqing's mother, and saw that her fat body was covered with a heavily stained winter coat, her hair was tied into a ponytail randomly, and her face was full of resentment.

As for the little girl... the short-haired woman kept her head down, but she still felt awkward.

Poor little girl.

The short-haired woman smiled kindly at Qingqing's mother: "I'm sorry, I've been reading just now and didn't notice her."

She raised the book in her hand.

An exquisite and lazy woman, a warm fireplace, a wall full of books, a polished wooden floor, a weird-looking beanbag sofa, a branch of persimmon stuck in a big vat...all of this is Qingqing's mother. Never seen before, strange.She got married at the age of 17. Her in-laws’ family conditions were not good, and her new house was still a rough house that hadn’t been painted. She had been married for so many years and hadn’t been decorated.After giving birth, the house was full of the baby's clothes, as well as bottles and jars, so she was even more lazy to clean up.

laugh!Only women who have never given birth to a baby can enjoy it like this!

Qingqing's mother, who had given birth to a baby, regained her confidence, glared at the short-haired woman, and pulled Qingqing's clothes fiercely: "Hurry up and go home! In order to come out to find you, I haven't even fed the pig yet!"

Qingqing shivered for a moment.After going back, will mom beat her again!

Qingqing's mother added another sentence: "Don't stay in this homestay all day long!"

While speaking, she glanced at the short-haired woman meaningfully.

The short-haired woman was startled, and Qingqing's mother looked at her as if she was watching...

She is not a kind person, she immediately turned pale: "Hey, you..."

Qingqing's mother dragged Qingqing out fiercely.

Leaving the warm homestay, it suddenly became a little colder outside.

Qingqing's mother ruthlessly pushed the thin Qingqing: "There are no good people in this homestay! If you go to this homestay a few more times, you might not see your mother anymore! They sold you off!"

This Linyue town is not a tourist attraction, it has always been sparsely populated, so how can there be any tourists?But Lin Yue, an older single young woman who came back from other places, opened a homestay!
She had heard from others that this homestay had been open for a year, and there were only a few dozen guests.

What's the difference between that and idleness?
The two seemed to have walked away. The short-haired woman sighed, put away the book, took the mop, and started mopping the floor.

Only halfway through, a soft voice sounded: "Mei Yun, I'm back."
