Chapter 83 Lin Jingyun

When Lin Dajun arrived at the Lin family home, he went directly to Lin Yi'an and explained his purpose.

Lin Yi'an spoke frankly: "Uncle Lin, your father and uncle have a grudge against my family. If we contract your land and then go back on our word after clearing it, other villagers will follow suit, which will put us in a difficult position. Although there is a penalty for breach of contract, it will cause too much trouble, so I can only apologize to you."

Lin Dajun gave a wry smile, and the address "Uncle Lin" created a distance between their two families.

When he used to meet Lin Yi'an, she would always greet him with a smile and call him "Uncle." Every time he came here, she would always welcome him with a warm face.

Because of Li Ermang, the two families have become completely estranged, and now their relationship is worse than that of ordinary villagers.

Having said all that, he didn't press the matter further and went home listlessly.

Grandpa Lin stood at the door, and when he saw him come back, he glanced at him.

Lin Dajun said, "Lin Yi'an said that you have a grudge against their family. She is afraid that if we contract our land, we will go back on our word and delay their business, so she will not contract our land again."

Grandpa Lin, with a sullen face, didn't say a word and turned to go back into the house.

...

After Lin Yi'an recovered, the couple took Zhou Kanghui back to the capital the next day.

Of course, Quan Zisong and his group also returned.

Assistant Chen stayed in Changping for the time being, while Zhou Mingshi rode in Lin Yi'an's car.

After arriving in the capital, the car drove directly to the old house.

Knowing they were coming back, Yu Minhua instructed the kitchen to prepare the meal early on.

As soon as Zhou Kanghui got out of the car, he said to his mother, "The countryside is still the most interesting place. If I didn't have to come back for some business, I would like to stay in Changping for a long time."

Zhou Mingshi glanced at him: "You like Changping that much?"

Zhou Kanghui nodded: "The air there is good, you can fish everywhere, and I can play cards with people in the afternoon. I've explored all of Beijing, and I don't want to go anywhere else."

Zhou Mingshi: "Since you like Changping so much, I'll entrust the management of the medicinal herb base in Yi'an to you."

Lin Yi'an looked at him, and he said in a low voice, "I'll tell you later."

"Huh?" Zhou Kanghui thought he had misheard. "What do you mean?"

Zhou Mingshi: "Yi'an is a doctor, and he also has to take care of the medicinal herb base. He can't be in two places at once. Haven't you always wanted to start a business? The medicinal herb base is a good place for you to practice."

Zhou Kanghui: "Aren't you afraid I'll do something reckless?"

“I will arrange for an assistant to accompany you.” After saying this, Zhou Mingshi praised, “I know my father. If you are serious about something, you can definitely do it well.”

Zhou Kanghui chuckled foolishly: "That's right. I didn't work hard before. It's mainly because your grandfather is too capable. I never needed to do anything, so I didn't have a chance to learn."

Zhou Mingshi: "Now the opportunity has come, are you in or not?"

Zhou Kanghui straightened up: "Since you trust me so much, of course I'll do it. Besides, I've spent half my life in the capital, so it's not bad to live in a different place."

Yu Minhua sat to the side without interrupting. This son had lived a carefree life for half his life, and now that he was old, he was being controlled by his son, which was also quite good.

After lunch, the couple returned to their room, and Lin Yi'an asked, "Why did you think of having Father manage the medicinal herb base?"

Although she contracts land in her hometown to grow medicinal herbs, she doesn't intend to personally stay at home to take care of it, especially since she also has a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

Zhou Mingshi: "After his divorce, he became an empty nester. When it gets hot, his grandparents go to escape the heat, and no one takes care of him. In order to avoid him bothering us, we find him something to do so that he has no time to cause trouble."

Empty nesters?

Lin Yi'an chuckled: "You absolutely mustn't say that in front of him." Otherwise, he'll definitely jump up and down.

Zhou Mingshi pinched her nose: "Your husband isn't stupid."

Lin Yi'an grabbed his hand and laughed, "But you'll deliberately annoy him."

"You're on his side?" Zhou Mingshi said, then bit her lip.

Lin Yi'an covered her mouth: "You bite me all the time, how come you have this habit?"

Just as Zhou Mingshi was about to speak, she added, "This habit is bad; you need to change it."

Zhou Mingshi put his arm around her and said, "I will definitely change."

Lin Yi'an turned to him and said, "You said you would change your habit of pinching my nose and cheeks, but you haven't."

"..." Zhou Mingshi said in a very serious tone, "Some habits are hard to change once they are formed. To be fair, why don't you pinch me and bite me too?"

Lin Yi'an blinked: "It looks like I'm punishing you, but why does your tone sound like I'm praising you?"

Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "I'm giving you the power. Whether you punish me or not is up to you, okay?"

Lin Yi'an ignored him, got out of his arms, and lay down to take a nap.

Zhou Mingshi chased after him: "Are you angry?"

Lin Yi-an: "I'm not angry."

Zhou Mingshi: "You're not angry and ignoring me?"

Lin Yi-an said, "Because I'm thinking about whether I should tolerate your occasional unreasonable behavior..."

After all, he didn't bite hard.

Zhou Mingshi: "..."

A moment later, when I looked down again, she was already asleep.

He chuckled and then closed his eyes.

After waking up from their afternoon nap, the couple took gifts and went to the Lin family's house.

Knowing they were coming back today, and because she had to go to work, Wang Yuehua instructed the kitchen to prepare their meal in advance.

When the couple arrived at the Lin family's door, they saw Lin Jingyun and a man pulling and tugging at each other, seemingly talking about something.

Lin Yi'an and Zhou Mingshi got out of the car and walked over to ask, "What are you doing?"

The two immediately let go of each other's hands.

Lin Jingyun said casually, "An'an, brother-in-law, you're back?"

Lin Yi'an hummed in agreement and looked at the young man beside her: "What are you doing?"

Lin Jingyun's boyfriend is named Su You. The two have been dating since high school, breaking up and getting back together for many years without any resolution.

Su You's expression was somewhat unnatural. He said, "Jingyun and I have been together for so many years. I want to settle down and get a marriage certificate with her, but she doesn't agree. We..."

Zhou Mingshi looked at him: "You want to get a marriage certificate with your second sister?"

He was taller than Su You, and standing next to him, his imposing aura forced Su You to unconsciously become weak: "Yes."

Zhou Mingshi glanced at him indifferently: "The Lin family has raised and cherished their daughter so carefully, and you want to take her to get a marriage certificate without even asking?"

Su You: "I..."

Zhou Mingshi: "Have you ever been to school?"

Su's right cheek flushed red: "Even if my achievements are not as good as yours, I still graduated from a 985 university."

Zhou Mingshi: "Since you've been to school, don't you know the meaning of 'proper marriage'?"

Su lowered his head.

Zhou Mingshi took a step closer to him: "Even if you are in a free-love relationship and want to get married, you still need to show the proper attitude."

Su You didn't speak.

Zhou Mingshi sneered: "You don't even dare to step into the Lin family's house. Is this how you want to get a marriage certificate?"

Su You clenched his fists: "My family is just an ordinary family..."

Zhou Mingshi: "When an ordinary family gets married, there are also the proper etiquettes. Or is it just your family that does this?"

Lin Jingyun stepped forward: "Su You, let's break up!"

Su You's eyes were red: "I disagree. Over the years, how many times have we broken up? When have we ever truly separated?"

Lin Jingyun forced a smile: "Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to separate this time."

After Lin Jingyun finished speaking, she turned around and went back into the house.
