Lin Rui, who had returned to his hometown to live a laid-back "salted fish" life, transmigrated. He found himself in a chaotic era of warring lords, foreign invasions, a weak emperor, and d...
Yu Lanhua looked at Lin Zikun with suspicion on her face. "San'er, are you serious? Are you really not going to chase me away?"
Lin Zikun nodded, forcing a smile on his face: "Mom, don't worry, I'm your son, how can I lie to you!"
Yu Lanhua nodded repeatedly in response: "Okay, okay, I'll heal my foot injury right away, and then go back with you. From now on, our family will live a peaceful life, and I won't care about your uncle anymore."
"Zikun, I regret what happened before so much now. How is your second brother now?"
"Not very good. The headache is worse than death. Mother really hit me hard with the stick." Lin Zikun said lightly.
Yu Lanhua knew that her sons still had resentment towards her, so she said in a low voice, "Mom, Mom was blinded by greed back then. Can you forgive me? No matter what, I gave birth to three of you brothers!"
"Mom, let's not talk about this now." Lin Zikun hurried on his way, not wanting to elaborate on this issue with her.
As a son, if he had too much resentment towards his mother, it was resolved in the Lin family, which was getting better day by day. The abundance of life and spirit made him no longer dwell on this matter. The greatest punishment for a person is not hatred, but forgetting.
When the other person's words and actions had no effect on him at all, her shadow slowly dissipated in his heart.
Finding a place for her to stay now is the limit of what he can do. If he does more, his second brother and sister-in-law might not be happy if they know. His second brother has a headache from time to time and he has to take so many medicines to suppress it.
Lin Zikun placed Yu Lanhua in the clinic in Baixing Town and paid the staff to take good care of her. He had already told the owner of the embroidery shop that he would send her to work after she recovered from her injuries.
The clerk in the medicine shop, who had money to earn, nodded happily and said, "Okay, I'll take care of this matter for you."
When the woman in the clinic had applied medicine to Yu Lanhua's ankles and the wounds on her body, Lin Zikun was nowhere to be found in the clinic.
Yu Lanhua was anxious and quickly grabbed the waiter's sleeve: "Brother, where is my son?"
"Are you talking about Manager Lin?" asked the waiter.
Yu Lanhua nodded quickly: "Yes, it's him."
"He's gone. Don't worry. I'll take you to the embroidery workshop after you recover. You're really lucky to have a distant relative like Manager Lin. He's arranged everything for you. As long as you work hard, a woman can live a good life in our Baixing Town."
Yu Lanhua no longer had the heart to listen to what the guy said. The words "distant relatives" kept lingering in her ears like a curse. It turned out that Zikun and the others were unwilling to forgive her after all!
From this moment on, Yu Lanhua seemed to be able to see the end of her life at a glance, and she began to sob.
The guy just thought she was touched and turned around to do his own thing.
When Lin Zikun returned to his home in Linjia Village, Lin Changfa and his second uncle and his wife were already waiting there.
Seeing him come back, Second Aunt stood up and asked, "Zikun, how is your mother settled?"
Lin Zikun said something to Feng Zhenniang, who nodded and sighed, "This is good for both of us, Zikun. I know she is your biological mother, but if the Lin family accepts her, many people will be dissatisfied."
Lin Changxi also nodded, thinking of what his son said yesterday and imitating him now: "The price of betrayal is so light, won't too many people betray the Lin family in the future? This time, Yu Lanhua was spared because of the face of you four fathers and sons. If there is a next time, I'm sure you will know what to do without me saying it."
"Don't make this matter public now. Only our two families know about the orchid. It won't be good for our Lin family if the matter gets out of hand."
Yu Lanhua was just an episode in their normal life. The next day, Lin Changfa and Man Niang's wedding was held as usual. Lin Changfa, wearing a red wedding dress, looked several years younger and was drinking with everyone in the venue.
Lin Rui wanted to leave work early today to attend his uncle's wedding. Yesterday, several of Lin Zijun's cousins came to invite him warmly, and it would be embarrassing if his uncle didn't go.
When the sun was almost setting, while Han Wenjing and the others were still buried in their desks, he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem!"
Xing Lie raised his head and looked at him: "Master Lin, is there something wrong?"
Lin Rui was honest: "A little bit."
Xu Shaoxuan looked at him curiously: "What's the matter?"
Lin Rui replied: "My uncle is getting married, and I'm in a hurry to go back for the wedding banquet!"
Xing Lie became interested: "It's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Do you mind if we have a few more guests?"
Lin Rui was a little surprised. He had never thought that he had such a great reputation that the major general could condescend to come to their Linjia Village to attend his uncle's wedding banquet.
"Of course I don't mind. You're most welcome." Lin Rui said with a smile.
Lin Changfa's face was beaming with joy today. His three sons, Lin Zijun, Lin Zizheng and Lin Zikun, were all busy arranging guests for the banquet. As the business of Lin's workshop expanded and more and more partners came, many people came to Lin Changfa's wedding banquet. The gifts at the gift reception desk alone were piled up like a mountain.
The Shi family was arranged to stay on one side because they were the bride's family. From their direction they could see the scene of toasting and drinking.
Man Niang's parents sat at the table with their hands and feet tied. They were wearing a set of new clothes tailored for them by the Lin family. Even their little grandson was dressed like a young master. They had never worn such good clothes in their life. As a result, their daughter got everything after marrying Manager Lin for the second time.
Feng Zhenniang was afraid that Manniang's parents would not be used to it, so she arranged for many women from the workshop to sit with them. They were all farmers and had common topics, which was better than asking some businessmen's wives to talk about business with them.
Besides, the Shi family can’t understand business!
Empress Man looked at the Lin family's spacious courtyard which was filled with tables. The dishes on each table were things they had never seen before. Just the smell of the aroma made her drool.
In order not to embarrass their daughter, they had already eaten two pancakes when they came, but they were still dizzy from the fragrance.
The little grandson put his fingers in his mouth and sucked them, staring at the dishes eagerly.
Madam Man nudged her father and said, "My new son-in-law's family is truly remarkable. Did you see that woman in the crimson dress?"
Empress Man pointed to where Feng Zhenniang was standing and asked her father.
Man Niangdi glanced at it and nodded: "Well, what's wrong?"
"I heard that this is the second sister-in-law of my son-in-law, the extremely capable clan leader of the Lin family!" Empress Man said this with envy. Her son had a promising future, and his mother's status had also risen. Obviously, her mother Man was the bride today, but a group of people gathered around Feng Zhenniang and laughed.
Empress Man said this with no other thoughts except envy. The fact that her daughter could marry into the Lin family was already a blessing for the Shi family's ancestors.
