Chapter 28 Going to the Zhou Family
During the change of seasons, there are many patients. The next day, Lin Yi'an helped with dispensing medicine and acupuncture in the clinic, Zhou Mingshi worked upstairs, and Tan Qingwen followed behind Liu Zhengying, watching her kill chickens and geese.
After Lin Yi'an finished her work, Zhou Mingshi also came downstairs. The sky was high and the air was crisp. The two sat on the chairs in front of the door, drinking tea and chatting.
As they were talking, a few young people standing at the edge of the field kept glancing in their direction. Liu Zhengying came out to get some water and happened to see them: "Are those people Hu Lili and her group?"
Lin Yi-an: "Probably."
Liu Zhengying frowned: "What are they trying to do?"
When they bullied Bao'er as children, it could be said that they were immature. Now that a group of people have come, do they want to bully Bao'er again?
She didn't say anything to those who bullied Bao'er, but she disliked them in her heart. Even though they had grown up and developed a sense of shame, and might feel ashamed of what they did when they were young, she still held a prejudice against them.
She's so petty. You can bully her, but if you bully her daughter, she'll hold a grudge.
After she finished asking her question, Zuo Mingyang came over from home with his things.
He went to town early in the morning and picked up a few packages for the villagers, including one for Grandma Lin. He delivered it over now, and the group of people came over with him.
Liu Zhengying didn't rush back to the house. A group of people walked closer and quietly looked at Lin Yi'an and the man sitting next to her.
Lin Yi'an looked at them: "Is there something you need?"
A group of people stood awkwardly, quietly nudging Hu Lili. Hu Lili could only step forward and say, "Lin Yi'an, they came to apologize to you."
Those people were simply unable to contain their curiosity and wanted to see Lin Yi'an's wealthy fiancé, but they never expected Hu Lili to say such things. Their faces instantly turned red. They didn't want to talk about what happened in their childhood, let alone apologize to Lin Yi'an...
Lin Yi'an looked at those people: "You want to apologize to me?"
Hu Lili looked behind her: "Didn't you come here to apologize?"
They all bullied Lin Yi'an, and she apologized to them all. They can't be left out, otherwise it would make her seem like an outsider.
A group of people glared at her secretly; they hadn't come to apologize at all.
They originally only planned to take a quick look from afar and then go back, but they didn't expect to run into Zuo Mingyang. Hu Lili insisted on dragging them over with her, and now they're stuck with her.
Lin Yi'an looked at their expressions and said, "So you're here to cause trouble?"
They dare not provoke Lin Yi'an now; if Lin Yi'an wanted to deal with them, it would be an easy task.
Hu Lili: "What's with all the awkwardness? Saying sorry isn't that hard, is it?"
The group thought they were just bored and came to watch the show, but they couldn't let Lin Yi'an think they were there to cause trouble. It was just an apology, nothing serious.
They forced themselves to say, "I'm sorry, Lin Yi'an!"
Lin Yi'an: "I understand."
She neither said she forgave nor forgave, only that she understood. The group didn't know what she meant, but they had already apologized and lost face, so they just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Watching their retreating figures, Zuo Mingyang didn't ask any further questions. He handed the package to Liu Zhengying, said goodbye, and went back.
After Zuo Mingyang left, Liu Zhengying snorted, "Looks like they also feel that what they did as children is despicable..."
She went back inside after she finished speaking.
Lin Yi-an said, "Although they apologized, the damage has already been done. Seeing them reminds me of how helpless my parents looked back then, and I can't say I forgive them."
Zhou Mingshi looked at Lin Yi'an: "Although the past has tempered you and made you more resilient, no one stipulates that we must forgive those who have bullied us, even if they apologize."
Lin Yi'an smiled faintly and hummed in agreement.
Looking at the smile in her eyes, Zhou Mingshi said, "After hardship comes happiness. I hope that Lin Jiabao will be free from illness and disaster, live a peaceful and harmonious life every year."
Lin Yi'an asked him curiously, "Is this a Mid-Autumn Festival blessing for me?"
Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "This is a man's most sincere wish for his future wife."
Lin Yi'an looked at him: "Are you saying these things to make me happy?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Are you happy?"
Lin Yi'an thought for a moment and said, "Happy."
No one dislikes being flattered and pleased by others.
Zhou Mingshi: "I not only want to make you happy, but husband and wife are of one mind and one heart. If the wife is obedient, the husband will be obedient. You are my future wife. If my wife is harmonious and obedient, our family will be harmonious and obedient."
Lin Jingyun came out with her phone in her hand. Hearing their conversation, she clicked her tongue. Originally intending to chat with her sister, she turned back into the house. She didn't want to be a third wheel.
Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "Then I also wish you peace and harmony throughout your life."
Zhou Mingshi's eyes were clear and his tone gentle: "Okay."
They stayed in Changping for three days before returning home. Grandpa Zhou Qisheng and Grandma Zhou Minhua came back, and Lin Yi'an, as the future granddaughter-in-law, naturally had to visit the two elderly people.
Before the holiday was over, the two elderly people returned. Not only did Lin Yi'an visit them, but the rest of the Zhou family also came back to visit them.
Early in the morning, Lin Yi'an was made to sit in a chair by her mother and sister to get ready.
Lin Manqing said, "An'an is suited to light makeup; she shouldn't wear heavy makeup."
Wang Yuehua was shaping her daughter's eyebrows: "It's not appropriate to wear heavy makeup when visiting an elderly person."
Lin Manqing: "An'an's eyebrows are naturally beautiful, they only need trimming, no need for any further drawing."
Lin Jingyun suggested from the side, "Wear the jade bracelet that Zhou Mingshi gave to An'an last time."
Lin Manqing: "Then why not wear the jewelry that the Zhou family gave to An'an when they got engaged?"
Lin Yi'an quickly stopped her, saying, "That's too extravagant."
When they got engaged, every piece of jewelry the Zhou family gave her was valuable. She usually kept it locked in a safe and only took it out to wear once when she went out to a banquet.
Lin Manqing: "That's true."
Lin Yi'an: "I'm wearing the jade bracelet that Zhou Mingshi gave me, as well as the Hetian jade beads and earrings that Aunt Tan gave me last time."
Lin Manqing smiled and said, "That's fine too."
At 9:30, Zhou Mingshi went to the Lin family home to pick up Lin Yi'an. Lin Yi'an wasn't dressed yet, so Lin Su chatted with him downstairs: "Are you getting used to staying in Changping?"
Zhou Mingshi picked up a teacup from the tea table: "The scenery is beautiful, and the villagers are warm and hospitable. They have some rare local specialties at home, and they will send them to us to try. Yi'an will also return some of his own things as gifts."
Lin Su said calmly, "Every place has good people and bad people. An'an suffered a lot of injustices when she was a child."
Zhou Mingshi: "So we will try our best to make her happy from now on."
Lin Su joked, "I heard you even helped your aunt and uncle dig in the dirt?"
Zhou Mingshi joked about himself, "I dug up a few handfuls of soil and got blisters on my hands."
Lin Su told him, "I cut my hand while helping to harvest rice."
The two chatted casually as Lin Yi'an changed her clothes and followed her mother and sister downstairs.
