Chapter 95: Chapter 94: Obtained

Lin Xia just wouldn’t blurt out the last part of her sentence, but Aunt Jin knew exactly what it was.

Aunt Jin shifted closer to Lin Xia, patting her hand with a sigh, "Lin Xia! You all have been gone for some days, and I’ve noticed such a big change in you! To think of such a method?

But rest assured, I know how to handle this. I was thinking the same way. As soon as your stepmother hears this news, she’ll be jumping at the chance to send Lin Chun..."

"Aunt Jin! Then we’ll thank you in advance! There are longer days ahead, and even if we no longer live in this house, we’ll still visit often... Whenever your security guard is gone and you need us, just say the word..."

Lin Xia’s words brought a wide smile to Aunt Jin’s face as she escorted them out the front door.

Lin Chun and Lin Xia waited until Aunt Jin went back inside, and then they unlocked the door and entered their home.

Lin Chun asked Lin Xia quietly, "Can we really do this? Aren’t we becoming thieves?"

He had been persuaded by his older sister before coming, that indeed, one had to use the household registration book to sign up.

But the moment he stepped through the door, he felt both nervous and timid.

Lin Xia picked up a small ax from beside the stove, "We can’t worry about that now! Take it first, then talk! What theft? This is taking, not stealing!"

She thought it was very simple. They would use it for registration and return it afterward.

Lin Xia used the small ax to pry open the latch of the kang cupboard’s drawer and took out the household registration book.

As for the grain coupon and some spare change, Lin Xia didn’t touch them. She could earn money and afford negotiated grain, so it didn’t matter whether she had the grain coupon or not.

Afterward, she nailed it shut again. At a glance, it was not easy to notice, but looking closely would definitely reveal some traces.

Lin Chun was very nervous, his heart pounding as if it wasn’t his own anymore. He had never done something like prying locks before...

Lin Chun and Lin Xia hurriedly left the Lin Family’s house, locked the door, hopped on their bicycles, and sped off.

Actually, Lin Xia was not completely without nervousness, but seeing her big brother petrified, she couldn’t afford to be timid as well.

The two rode in silence, pedaling fiercely.

Not until they reached home and entered the door did Lin Xia finally look at Lin Chun and burst into laughter.

"Safely home!"

Lin Chun also laughed, covering his chest, "Xiaoxia! My heart was about to leap out! I was so nervous!"

Along the way, he felt as if he was pedaling deep and shallow, not daring to speak, showing his mentality was still not resilient enough to endure such events.

Lin Xia laughed, "Big brother! I felt the same! But you’ll have to toughen up a bit, wait till you’re outside, things that make you nervous will be plenty!"

Lin Chun nodded vigorously, "Yeah! I have to train myself well so one day you’ll all look up to me!"

"That’s something we’re all looking forward to that day!"

Lin Xia and Lin Chun entered the house chatting and laughing.

Lin Qiu, seeing her brother and sister come back with smiles all over their faces, knew for certain they had succeeded.

"Did you get it?"

Lin Xia gestured to Lin Qiu with the household registration book, "Look!"

Lin Qiu laughed with joy, "That’s really great!" She had been worried at home, afraid that they would encounter Lin Qiang or someone else starting a fight when they went back.

Lin Xia flipped through the household registration book casually and said with regret, "Big brother! It would be great if our registration could also be moved out!"

Now that things had turned out this way, she really didn’t want to have anything to do with those people anymore. If they could move out, it would save them a lot of trouble in the future.

Lin Chun wasn’t as opposed as he used to be. He also feared that after his departure, his younger brothers and sister would suffer.

"If we really think about the registration, if I get married, that works. Then I can register you all under my name and I’ll be the head of the household.

But you and Xiaoqiu are both women, and you can only move your registration upon marrying into a man’s household, and Dongzi is still too young..." It wouldn’t be easy to manage this.

Lin Xia nodded helplessly; they couldn’t just marry someone randomly for the sake of the registration, "Yeah! And we don’t have a house either... For now, we can only make do like this and see if we can find an opportunity later..."

In her heart, she secretly made up her mind to work hard to earn more money. Once she had enough money and could find a public housing at the right location and price, she would buy a place to make their home. Always renting someone else’s house was not a solution.

The three of them talked about what it would be like if Lin Chun really managed to leave, and they all got a bit excited.

Lin Qiu suddenly fell silent, then seriously said to Lin Chun and Lin Xia, "Big brother, sister! I’m pretty much recovered, why don’t I go work at the quilt factory tomorrow?"

Staying at home every day made her feel increasingly useless.

"Xiaoqiu! Are you really well enough?" Lin Xia truly didn’t want Lin Qiu to start working so early. They weren’t short of her salary anyway; she should fully recover before going!

"Yeah! Rest up a bit more!" Lin Chun thought the same as Lin Xia.

"I am well enough! You’ve seen it, I’m bored at home every day and find it pointless. It’s better to go to work, talking with people will make time pass faster!"

Lin Xia could understand what Lin Qiu was saying. They didn’t have a TV or anything at home, just idly staying like that, anyone would go mad after a while.

"Alright! But you wait until after October 1st then! We need to pickle the sauerkraut first..."

"Sure! Any day works for me!" Lin Qiu had no objections, she could still take care of the house and cook at home.

"By the way! I’ve been so busy selling goods and dealing with big brother’s business the past few days, what should we cook and send to Aunt Zhao tomorrow?" Lin Xia was a bit troubled, not knowing what would be appropriate to make.

Lin Qiu frowned in thought, "How about, sister, we make some meat buns? Dumplings definitely won’t work, they’d be mushy by the time we get there!"

Lin Xia thought that was feasible, "Making buns is good, let’s start the dough rising and see if we can buy some meat tomorrow! If we can’t get meat, we’ll just steam some plain buns!"

Lin Xia was very grateful to Aunt Zhao and her second brother. Aunt Zhao had even sent them fried meatballs last time, but right now they really had nothing, and if she made something too fancy, it might arouse suspicion.

The next day, Lin Xia went to buy groceries and was quite lucky to find meat. She went home and chopped the meat filling with Lin Qiu to make buns.

Early in the morning after finishing breakfast, Lin Chun went to South Mountain to pick up firewood. When he brought back the second load, he saw that Lin Xia and the others had already prepared the filling and were just waiting to start wrapping the buns. He washed his hands and joined in too.

After the first batch was ready, Lin Xia cooled them in a small aluminum basin, covered them with a clean towel, then wrapped it in several layers of clothes. She quickly rode her bike to Aunt Zhao’s house.

Aunt Zhao was very happy to suddenly have Lin Xia come over, but when she saw what she was holding, she couldn’t help but frown and reproach her, "Xiaolin! Look at you, how come you never come empty-handed! If you keep this up, I won’t let you come over next time!"

Lin Xia responded with a smile, "Aunt Zhao! Don’t worry! Next time I definitely won’t bring anything! We just made some buns and thought to bring you some to try!"
