After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

Lin Zhilan felt a lump in her throat when she heard this, and touched her daughter's little face.

"There's something else important I need to tell you today: your godfather, Zhou Chen, is actually your biological father."

Upon hearing this, Linlin buried her head and said, "I don't want to hear it anymore."

Lin Zhilan looked down at her daughter, "Baby, you probably guessed it too, didn't you?"

Linlin was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

When she was little, she didn't understand, but as she got older, Linlin naturally noticed that something was wrong.

For example, her godfather would send things over every year. Although her brothers also sent things, her things were always the most expensive and the most numerous.

Her mother would even encourage her to write letters to her godfather. When Zhou Chen occasionally visited the island, Linlin would notice that he paid extra attention to her and the way he looked at her...

Linlin didn't know what words to use to describe it.

It's probably like the love in her parents' eyes; it seems that no matter what she does, the other person will endlessly tolerate her.

Linlin felt that she was being a little selfish.

Although she felt somewhat sorry for her godfather, she was terrified that her current life would be disrupted in the slightest.

Lin Zhilan and Su Lang exchanged a glance and said, "Baby, Mom just thinks you have the right to know about this. We all hope you can live a happy and fulfilling life."

Zhou Chen, your father is a good person. Your mother and he don't have any conflicts; they're just not suited to be together. From now on, you can treat him however you want; it's all up to you. Your parents fully support your decision, understand?

Linlin rested her head on Lin Zhilan's shoulder. "Mom, can you tell me about your childhood?"

Lin Zhilan hugged her daughter and told her about the past one by one.

Linlin still managed to grasp the key point: "So, well... Zhou's parents don't like me, right?"

"That's right."

Lin Zhilan had no intention of covering up for Zhou Chen's parents, so that Linlin would have illusions about her so-called grandparents.

Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng treated Linlin very well, and Linlin quickly recovered from her disappointment. "Mom, when you were little, you carried me on your back to the mountains to pick herbs?"

"Of course, at that time, Mom didn't know she would marry Dad. She planned to go to the mountains to collect herbs to support you."

Linlin smiled, unable to quite picture the scene.

As they were talking, Jiang Chengzhou returned with Su Li after buying ice cream.

Su Li ran over excitedly and handed the ice cream in her hand to her sister.

Jiang Chengzhou followed slowly behind, handing the remaining two ice creams to his uncle and aunt.

Su Li squeezed between her parents, holding up her popsicle and saying to Lin Zhilan, "Mom, I'm eating a white sugar popsicle."

Lin Zhilan looked around. The family of five, except for Su Li, were all holding cream ice cream.

The white sugar popsicles were the cheapest at the supply and marketing cooperative, but Lin Zhilan gave them enough money to buy cream ice cream.

"You like to eat this?"

Su Li shook her head, then nodded.

"What do you mean?"

Su Li said hesitantly, "If I eat a white sugar popsicle, can I have the money I save?"

Lin Zhilan raised an eyebrow. "What do you need the money for?"

Su Li smiled shyly, "It's a secret."

Su Li is a loudmouth; she makes sure everyone knows about even the smallest things.

Hearing that he had a secret, Lin Zhilan was both surprised and amused. She agreed to give him the money he had painstakingly saved, and wanted to see how long the young man could keep the secret.

Jiang Chengzhou's eyes flashed with curiosity.

When Su Li got a little older, Lin Zhilan prepared a guest room for him to sleep alone.

Su Li said she was scared and insisted on sticking to Jiang Chengzhou.

The two brothers are still sharing a room.

Su Li told his brother all sorts of ridiculous and outrageous things, and Jiang Chengzhou never expected that he could have secrets that he didn't know.

When it was time for bed that night, Jiang Chengzhou still tried to pry the secret out of Su Li's mouth.

But Su Li was unusually tight-lipped this time, refusing to budge or be persuaded, and wouldn't say a word no matter what.

This only made Jiang Chengzhou more curious.

The next morning, Lin Zhilan asked Jiang Chengzhou to go to Yan Yuan's place to see if he could buy some dried goods.

Jiang Chengzhou casually asked, "How many do you need? Are they for my grandparents?"

Lin Zhilan said, "If there's a lot, I'll send some to the capital. Last year, my grandfather in Zhouxin County broke his leg while trying to get snow frog oil for me. I wanted to go back and see him, but I couldn't get away, so I can only send some things back."

"Oh, right," Lin Zhilan suddenly remembered, "Your second uncle invited you to the capital for a trip and said he'd come pick you up. Do you want to go?"

Last winter, Jiang Jinzhu wanted Jiang Chengzhou to return to the capital for the Lunar New Year and even said he would introduce him to a potential partner.

Jiang Chengzhou was furious at the time, and he still feels a bit annoyed when he thinks about it now.

"I'm not going."

Lin Zhilan knew the reason and laughed, "Are you still angry? Your grandfather is just getting senile. He knew you were angry, so he even called me to coax you."

Jiang Chengzhou pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Lin Zhilan. "Aunt, didn't you say you didn't have time to go back to Zhouxin County? I do have time. I'll go see your grandparents for you."

Lin Zhilan looked at him. "Really?"

Jiang Chengzhou nodded seriously, "I've never been to Zhouxin County before, so I'll just go and broaden my horizons."

Su Li raised her hand, "I want to go with my brother too."

Lin Zhilan looked at Linlin, "Where's the baby?"

Linlin hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want to go too."

Lin Zhilan laughed and said, "It's okay if you don't want to go. Your second uncle would love for you to go to the capital. If you don't want to go at all, you can stay at home this summer."

Linlin smiled with relief, "I want to go. I also want to see the place where my mother and I lived when we were little."

Linlin has lived on the island since she can remember.

My childhood memories are too blurry. After hearing my mother talk about those things yesterday, she also wants to go back and take a look.

The three children are going to Zhouxin County, so we need to make good preparations.

Lin Zhilan still asked Jiang Chengzhou to go to Yan Yuan's place to buy the dried seafood first.

Then they called Zheng Hui and Zhou Chen separately to tell them that the children were going to come over.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen immediately offered to come and pick them up.

The three children were traveling alone by train, and Lin Zhilan had originally planned to squeeze out a few days to take them there.

But with Zhou Chen around, there's no need for that.

When it wasn't so hot in the afternoon, Yan Yuan came to deliver something.

Lin Zhilan pulled him aside, cut a piece of watermelon, and handed it to him. "Xiao Yuan, it's so hot this summer. Tell Grandpa to take care of himself and drink more water. You should too."

Yan Yuan and Jiang Chengzhou are about the same age, and now they look like adults.

His grandfather was too old, and Yan Yuan no longer allowed him to go to sea. Instead, he would go to sea with others whenever he had a holiday.

The sun shines unobstructed at sea, and hauling in each net of seafood requires all one's strength.

Unlike Jiang Chengzhou, Yan Yuan did not maintain a regular exercise routine, yet his muscles were even more muscular than Jiang Chengzhou's.
