Fang Cili angrily said, "Stop your nonsense and take these things back and return them all!"
It's impossible to get a refund.
Lin Chuan put on his gloves. "Master, there's a saying that goes, 'Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty, and don't take things to heart. Eating is the most important thing; nothing is worse than taking good care of yourself.'"
"Besides, I'm making some money now so I can bring you delicious food. If I weren't making money, I wouldn't be able to bring you any."
After saying that, Lin Chuan pushed open the door and ran away.
He ran to the door, then turned to the window and shouted, "Master, I've brought you my two disciples. Whether you accept them or not is up to you. I've completed my mission. Farewell."
Lin Chuan leisurely drove away in his donkey cart.
Fang Qiang and Wu Haijun couldn't help but admire the way Lin Chuan and Fang Cili got along.
Lin Chuan has already run away, so he definitely can't take the things with him.
Fang Cili looked outside for a long time before fixing his gaze on Fang Qiang.
"Fang Qiang, do you have any other family members?"
Fang Qiang answered very respectfully, "My mother passed away a long time ago, and I still have an older brother in my family."
Fang Cili thought of that child, "How is your brother... now?"
"Although they only recognize me, they can eat and drink well and are happy every day, so I think it's not too bad."
Fang Cili nodded and didn't ask anything more.
Fang Qiang couldn't help but ask, "Master Fang, what is your relationship with my father... Fang Hongtai?"
In his memory, the only things he remembered were Fang Hongtai hitting his mother, him, and his brother.
He drinks every day, and when he's drunk, he beats them.
He would curse his mother every day, saying she had given birth to a stupid son and that it was all her fault.
But what about reality?
The reality is that his older brother was perfectly fine when he was born, but then he had a high fever that wouldn't go down. His father took out the only money the family had to buy alcohol and wouldn't let his mother take his brother to see a doctor. After that, his brother's brain was damaged by the fever.
Fang Cili said, "Strictly speaking, he is my cousin. However, he has been estranged from his family for many years."
After that, the two of them tacitly avoided mentioning Fang Hongtai's name again.
Lin Chuan returned to the noodle shop and worked until very late. After the shop closed, Fang Qiang and Wu Haijun came to find him.
Joy was hard to hide in their eyes.
Wu Haijun said, "Thank you for helping us, brother. Master has accepted us."
Fang Qiang scratched his head, "But Master said we're really stupid, far inferior to you, Big Brother."
Lin Chuan could easily imagine how strict Fang Cili was when teaching people.
But strict teachers produce outstanding students; once he accepts a student, he will definitely teach them well.
"You two should work harder and study well."
Fang Qiang and Wu Haijun repeatedly assured him.
After finishing his work the next morning, Lin Chuan drove his donkey cart back to the village.
As soon as Lin Chuan entered the village, he saw Han Min's father pulling Han Min along, leading her all the way to Wu Chunhua's house.
Before long, the villagers all came to see what was going on.
In winter, there's so little to do for every household, so how could they not want to see something exciting?
Lin Chuan drove the donkey cart home, and the children surrounded him, wanting to help carry the things.
Sun Qiaoling and Liang Yun also came over to help carry things into the house.
Everyone went inside. Xu Chunmai had just finished changing Xiao Le'an's diaper and came out holding the child in her arms.
Upon seeing Lin Chuan, she still had that gentle and sweet demeanor, "Da Chuan, you're back."
"Le'an, look, Dad is back."
Lin Chuan always felt a sense of peace when he saw Xu Chunmai.
He washed his hands, went to Xiao Le'an's side, and took her little hand. "Yes, Le'an, Daddy's back."
Xiao Le'an grabbed Lin Chuan's fingers and put them in her mouth, saying, "You can't eat this, you really put everything in your mouth."
Little Le'an looked at Lin Chuan and giggled, then continued to gnaw on her little fist.
Zheng Yumei boiled water, preparing to wash the pork skin.
"Father, Mother, Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, it's so lively outside! Aren't you going to go out and see?"
Zheng Yumei asked, "What exciting thing is going on?"
“I just saw Han Min’s father drag Han Min here.”
Sun Qiaoling's eyes widened. "Lin Xinglong's boyfriend?"
"Yes, it's her."
You know, everyone has a natural inclination to gossip.
The affair between Han Min and Lin Xinglong, in particular, was the talk of the town in both villages.
"Everyone's saying Han Min is pregnant, but I don't know if it's true or not," Liang Yun said. "I heard my aunt... Wu Chunhua was going around saying that their family is about to have a grandson, that they got a daughter-in-law for free, without spending any money, and that their son is very capable."
Lin Chuan took Xiao Le'an and held her in his arms, saying, "Anyone who wants to go see what's going on can go."
"Do you want to go, Chunmai? I'll be guarding Le'an. If you want to go, wear something warm."
Xu Chunmai's heart was filled with anticipation, her eyes sparkling. "Is this a good idea?"
"What's wrong with that? If you want to go, go ahead," Lin Chuan advised. "But let me tell you, there's no reason to sympathize with Han Min. Don't be fooled by the fact that her father sent her here; she has nowhere else to go. She's not exactly a saint herself."
Xu Chunmai nodded, "Okay, I understand, I'll do whatever you say."
All the women in the house had left, and Lin Qingyou began to sit down and clean up the meat scraps.
Lin Chuan, holding the child, asked, "Dad, aren't you going?"
Why would I go see that thing?
Suddenly, Wu Chunhua's house was bustling with activity, as everyone in the village rushed to see what was happening.
Han Min's father, Han Dashan, dragged Han Min to their doorstep, and Wu Chunhua and Zhou Xiuying all came out of the house.
Wu Chunhua looked at Han Min and said, "Oh my, who is this? Didn't she just call my son a bastard? Why is she here now?"
Han Min hasn't rested well these past two days; she's started experiencing morning sickness and is also getting angry.
She never imagined that she was actually pregnant.
If she had gotten pregnant, it wouldn't have been a big deal; she could have made some money. But now, it's all been a huge scandal, and Lin Xinglong still has that attitude. She won't get a single penny.
Now everyone knows she's pregnant, so she has no choice but to marry Lin Xinglong.
Han Dashan was also angry. He had originally wanted to ask for more dowry, but it was all for nothing.
It's shameful enough for a young woman to be pregnant before marriage; she can't stay at home, she has to get married as soon as possible.
“In-law, I’ve brought her here, so there’s no need for you to cause trouble. Her mother and I have already discussed it, and living together is ultimately a matter between Xiaomin and Xinglong. Every young couple has their disagreements, but they’ll get over it. It’s better for them to live a good life together from now on.”
Wu Chunhua, however, was relentless. She wanted to give Han Min a hard time, "Oh, so you're calling her in-laws now? We never said Han Min had to marry into our family. My Xinglong is good-looking and smart. Do you think my family can't find a wife?"
Han Min pulled a knife from her sleeve and pressed it against her lower abdomen. "You just think you can control me because I'm pregnant with Lin Xinglong's child? Don't you know whether Lin Xinglong can even find a wife? You want to intimidate me? Fine, I'll send this child back to where it came from right now!"
