After thinking about it, Mr. Lu also hoped that the two young people could get along peacefully in the future.
Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting have already obtained their marriage certificate, so Shen Mengya's attempts to contact Lin Qingyan again will not cause any trouble.
"Alright then, go say goodbye to her, but don't leave right away after you're done."
"I understand, Uncle. Thank you, Uncle."
Grandma Lu was afraid that if Shen Mengya got there, she might quarrel with Lin Qingyan again. She knew that Shen Mengya was no match for Lin Qingyan, so she went with Shen Mengya because she was worried about her going alone.
Mr. Lu told Li Fang to wait here, and he followed Shen Mengya and Mrs. Lu over there, so that he could intervene in time if the two of them made trouble for Lin Qingyan again.
Yi Mingjun and Liu Xiangrong talked until their lips were almost worn out at Lin Qingyan's place, but Lin Qingyan, Lin Zhiheng, and Grandma Lin didn't say a word to them.
It was like punching thin air; it had no effect whatsoever.
Even if the three people ignored them, they were reluctant to leave.
A short while later, Lu Zhengting arrived.
Lu Zhengting had met Yi Mingjun and Liu Xiangrong in Beijing and knew they were from Beijing, but they weren't close.
Looking closely at them now, it's surprising to find that they look somewhat like Lin Zhiheng. Since they're all here, could they be Lin Zhiheng's parents?
As he entered the courtyard and passed by them, he could clearly hear their muttering to themselves.
"Xiao Heng, how can your heart be so hard? Is it made of iron? Your mother and I have been here for so long, and you haven't said a single word to us. What do you want in return for acknowledging us? Do you really want your father to kneel down before you?"
"Xiao Heng, please have pity on your mother. I've missed you for so many years, I can't live without you. Please come back with us."
Lu Zhengting walked up to Lin Qingyan. Lin Qingyan looked at him, and before he could say anything, she told him, "They say they are Xiao Heng's biological parents. Actually, you can tell just by looking at them. They want to take Xiao Heng to Beijing, but Xiao Heng doesn't want to go back, so they came and pestered him relentlessly."
Lu Zhengting said "oh," found a stool, and sat down next to Lin Qingyan to observe the couple.
Yi Mingjun and Liu Xiangrong talked to themselves for a long time, and Lin Zhiheng didn't respond at all. Perhaps they were tired, or perhaps they were disappointed. Their expressions became more and more frustrated, and they became less and less concerned about their image.
Lin Qingyan didn't let them sit on stools, so they sat on the ground one after another, their postures too casual and completely lacking in decorum.
Whether it was because they were too exhausted or because they wanted to win Lin Zhiheng's sympathy with their tears, they both cried. At first, they cried quietly, but soon it turned into a full-blown sob.
Liu Xiangrong slapped her thigh and wailed, "Waaaaah, Xiao Heng, I don't know how much I owed you in my past life that you hate me so much. But you have to give me a chance to make it up to you. If you don't come home with me, how can I take care of you? How can I make it up to you?"
"Xiao Heng, Dad can't live without you. You are Dad's precious treasure, the apple of Dad's eye. How can Dad live without you? Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng, you are Dad's life. Dad can't live without you."
However, no matter how much the two of them put on their act and how much they pretended to cry and wail, the three people on the other side remained unmoved.
Grandma Lin ate with great relish and even enjoyed watching them "perform".
Lin Qingyan also felt like she was enjoying tea and snacks while watching a grand performance, but she wasn't really relaxed.
Because she was worried about Lin Zhiheng. Regardless of whether the Yi couple were telling the truth or not, Lin Zhiheng must be suffering a lot inside.
At this moment, Lin Zhiheng's feelings were indeed complicated, but one thing was very firm: he would never leave his mother-in-law and sister, and would never go home with those two.
As an observer, Lu Zhengting had long noticed the two's affected behavior. No one chased them away; let's see how long they can continue.
After a while, Lin Zhiheng put down his chopsticks and spoke to the couple.
"You two stop talking. If you really want to acknowledge me back, give me time to consider it. Come back to me in three years."
The couple's hopes were immediately rekindled when they heard him say he would consider it, but when he told them to come back to them in three years, their newly ignited hope was instantly dashed.
Three years later?
Even if they can wait, can their Jin'er wait?
Without the blood bags continuously supplying blood to Jin'er, she might not have lived for even two years.
If Jin'er is gone, what's the point of them coming back to find this jinx?
The couple shook their heads together.
"No, Xiao Heng, three years is too long. Mom can't wait that long. I've been suffering terribly for sixteen years. If you make me wait another three years, my hair will probably be white by then."
“Your mom can’t wait, and neither can your dad. What I long for most is for our family to be reunited. We finally found you. I just want to bring you home as soon as possible. For me, every second I wait is an immense torment.”
In his desperation, Yi Mingjun suddenly remembered the matter of the return quota. He immediately slapped his forehead, cursing himself for having a pig brain.
"Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng. Dad has some great news to tell you. We went to the county town yesterday, and Dad called Beijing. They agreed to get you a permit to return to the city. Xiao Heng, are you happy? You finally don't have to work in the fields anymore."
“I love it here. I love working in the fields every day and I’m happy dealing with the land and crops.”
