Chapter 120 Birthday
Listening to her children and son-in-law's words, Wang Yuehua knew that they disliked her family.
Over the years, her care for her brother's family has only increased their expectations, leading them to take advantage of her. Her niece has even started competing with An'an for her affections.
She was glad that she had come to her senses sooner and stopped indulging them, otherwise her children would have become estranged from her and it would have broken An'an's heart.
Thinking of this, she looked at her younger brother's family: "If you really want to learn traditional Chinese medicine, where can't you learn it? Why do you have to come to An'an to learn it? Is it because An'an has good conditions and you are Xiujun's cousin, so you can take care of her?"
Wang Taihua: "Sisters take care of each other..."
They are cousins, so their relationship is naturally closer than that of other people, and it's understandable that they would take care of each other.
Wang Yuehua scoffed, "Take care of each other? Do you think your daughter knows how to take care of people?"
Wang Taihua quickly said, "She will take care of Yi'an."
Wang Yuehua said coldly, "I'm still your sister. For so many years, I've been the one taking care of you. Have you ever taken care of me? Even today, when you came here, you didn't bring any gifts, not even a few pounds of fruit for me. How can I expect you to take care of me? It would be good if you didn't cause any trouble."
Wang Taihua's face turned red.
Lin Weiqi came out of the study, and Wang Taihua stood up: "Brother-in-law!"
Lin Weiqi glanced at them and said, "You know how much the Lin family has helped your family over the years."
Wang Taihua lowered his head.
Lin Weiqi: "Back then, your sister wanted to bring Xiujun to live with us because she saw that you and your husband valued your son more and often neglected her in terms of both studies and daily life. Your sister felt sorry for her and couldn't bear to see her being wasted by you. Now she has graduated from university and is capable of being independent. She wants to study traditional Chinese medicine and has a lot of ideas..."
Wang Xiujun looked up suddenly, her face lighting up with delight, and exclaimed, "Uncle, you support me studying traditional Chinese medicine?"
Lin Weiqi: "You're never too old to learn. When you feel that you're not capable enough, you can go and learn."
He always encourages company employees to learn more, to take every opportunity and time to learn, because only by studying hard and improving their abilities can they stand out among many outstanding talents.
Wang Xiujun looked at Lin Yi'an and smiled, "Third sister, my uncle supports me learning traditional Chinese medicine, so I can go to you to learn."
Mr. and Mrs. Wang Taihua looked at their brother-in-law with delight.
Lin Yi'an ignored her.
Lin Weiqi patted his youngest daughter's head and looked at Wang Xiujun: "Your cousin's clinic is a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, not a school. If you want to learn traditional Chinese medicine, you can go outside to find a school. As long as you really want to learn and are not afraid of hardship, you can always find a place to apprentice. Your cousin is not much older than you. She just got married, so don't bother her."
Wang Xiujun looked at him in astonishment: "Uncle..."
Lin Weiqi added, "If there's nothing else, you can go back now. We have an important client to entertain later."
Wang Xiujun didn't move. Lin Manqing said, "An'an has been studying traditional Chinese medicine since elementary school, for nearly twenty years. Even so, she is still continuing her studies. If you don't have the determination to endure hardship and just want to learn traditional Chinese medicine because you see An'an making money by opening a TCM clinic, and want to open a TCM clinic in the future, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."
Wang Yuehua looked at them and said, "You should go back."
Wang Xiujun pursed her lips and left the Lin family with her parents.
Once inside the car, Wang Xiujun couldn't help but say, "My aunt is so heartless. She said she wouldn't care about us anymore..."
Wang Taihua glared at her fiercely: "Who told you to send out those messages back then? Forget about Lin Yi'an. If you want to learn traditional Chinese medicine, go study outside and find a teacher yourself. I can pay your tuition, but if you want to buy whatever you want like before, forget about it. There's not that much money in the family for you to squander."
“If you don’t want to study traditional Chinese medicine, then go find a job. You’re all grown up now, and your family can’t support you anymore.”
Wang Xiujun knew that her parents cared more about her brother, and that all the family property belonged to him. If her aunt didn't care about her, she could only rely on herself: "I understand."
The Lin family didn't take the Wang family's arrival to heart. After they left, the family went about their business as usual.
That morning, Lin Yi'an woke up and didn't see Zhou Mingshi.
She got up, got out of bed, dressed, washed up, and went downstairs. She saw Ye Lingzhi wiping the table and asked, "Where's Zhou Mingshi?"
Ye Lingzhi smiled and said, "In the kitchen."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi'an walked towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Zhou Mingshi was cooking noodles. Although his movements were clumsy, every step was correct. Seeing her come in, he smiled and asked, "You're up?"
Lin Yi'an walked over with a smile: "Are you cooking noodles?"
Zhou Mingshi said gently, "It's your birthday today, so I'm making you longevity noodles."
Lin Yi'an looked at the noodles bubbling in the pot: "You can actually make noodles?"
Zhou Mingshi laughed and admitted, "I just learned it. In the future, if no one is home and we don't go out to eat, you don't have to worry about going hungry. I can make noodles for you."
Lin Yi'an: "It looks good. You've only practiced a few times, and you're already doing it so well?"
Zhou Mingshi lowered his head and carefully ladled the noodles into a bowl: "This is the third time I've made this today."
Lin Yi'an praised, "I didn't know you had a talent for cooking, that's really great!"
Although he knew she was flattering him, Zhou Mingshi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "I'll try my best to learn all the dishes you like. In the future, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll cook it for you."
Lin Yi-an: "You have a chef at home, and you're already working very hard, so you shouldn't learn to cook."
Zhou Mingshi has his own explanation: "Cooking for my wife myself is also a way to relieve stress after work."
Lin Yi'an laughed and said, "If you don't mind the effort, then go ahead and learn."
"It's not tiring to do it occasionally." Zhou Mingshi put the bowl of noodles on the tray, and then took two pairs of chopsticks and two small bowls and put them on the tray: "Let's go out for breakfast."
The two sat at the dining table, and Zhou Mingshi picked out a small bowl of noodles and placed it in front of her.
Lin Yi'an picked up the bowl of noodles, picked up some noodles and ate them: "Delicious, the noodles are chewy, and the soup is rich. Did you use chicken broth as the base?"
Seeing that she liked it, Zhou Mingshi was pleased: "I had Aunt Liu make the chicken soup in advance."
Lin Yi'an: "Thank you for your trouble."
Zhou Mingshi pinched her cheek: "Don't be so polite with me."
Lin Yi'an laughed: "Okay, I didn't mean to."
Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "I know."
Lin Yi'an: "It's very delicious, you should eat some too."
Zhou Mingshi picked up his bowl of noodles: "It's your birthday today. Your elders and older siblings called and said they wanted to come over. I was originally planning to book a hotel, but Mom and Dad said it would be more festive at home. What do you think?"
Lin Yi-an didn't care much about this, saying, "I'll follow your arrangements."
Zhou Mingshi: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
