I Give Half of My Life to You

Chapter 4

4: Be good to him

The dining hall was on the ground floor. She just realized how many people there were when she entered.

Someone greeted the maid and asked obscurely, "Is this that child?"

The maid nodded. She didn't want to say too much. "I brought her here to eat."

Lin Miao didn't understand anything, and because she didn't understand, she observed more, did less, and spoke less. She was afraid of doing something wrong or saying something wrong...

The maid passed her two dishes, one vegan and one meat. She also brought her a bowl of rice.

Lin Miao was starving! But she buried her feelings and started eating elegantly.

Lin Miao was thinking about a lot of things. She was already disliked. She couldn't eat too much, if she ate too much, she would definitely be disliked even more.

But it was so delicious!

Lin Miao was very satisfied, so she forgot her thoughts. A few moments later, she finished her rice and her two dishes.

She felt like she still wasn't full, but was too embarrassed to help herself with more since the maid beside her finished neither her rice nor her dishes.

Lin Miao asked quietly, "Where do I wash the dishes?"

"You don't need to wash them yourself." The maid answered, "The elderly madame should be here for you in a bit."

Then she led her back to her room.

Lin Miao didn't know what else to do.

She felt useless, mainly because no one was assigning tasks to her.

Lin Miao looked at the immaculate room; they didn't need her to clean it.

As expected, the elderly woman arrived a few moments later.

The elderly woman invited her to sit down. "You saw your little brother today, right?"

Lin Miao was a little confused. "I didn't see him. My brother is in the town."

The elderly woman explained, chuckling, "I'm referring to Little Yu. In the future, can he be your brother?"

Of course Lin Miao remembered who Little Yu was, however, she was still a bit confused. "But, he's taller than me."

Lin Miao always thought that her little brother must call her "older sister" because he was shorter than her. Lin Miao's brother frequently said, 'Someday when I grow taller than you, you must call me older brother!'

So, at home, they ate all they could to grow taller.

The elderly woman was speechless for a bit. "But, his health isn't well. He needs an older sister to care for him. Can you be his older sister?"

Lin Miao felt sorry for the older brother since he had to be her little brother despite being taller than her.

Lin Miao quietly asked, "Is this my job?"

Her older female cousin didn't explain what working really was back then, but one point did match with her situation, and that was the boss has a bad temper and throws tantrums.

The elderly woman nodded and uncontrollably smiled seeing her asking the question with clarity in her eyes and in all seriousness. "Can you do this job? I'll pay you in due course."

Lin Miao was a bit embarrassed. "I saw you pay my mom already."

The elderly woman patted her head. "Your brother's temper isn't good. Don't get mad at him."
