Chapter 93 Teacher, you've arrived!
Chu Xiujie watched as Lin Anyuan whistled gloatingly, and instantly everyone's eyes turned to him.
Da Ya glared at Chu Xiujie, "How can you talk like that? You..."
"Little girl, watch your attitude. I'm your savior."
After Chu Xiujie finished speaking, he looked Lin Anyuan up and down and said, "He looks pretty badly injured. You should do less wicked things in the future. Look at what you're getting your comeuppance for!"
Kid, you can't be so arrogant now, can you? Chu Xiujie's eyes were full of smugness.
Lin Anyuan's gaze turned slightly cold.
"What happened? What's wrong with Daya?" Ye Wan looked at Chu Xiujie.
Chu Xiujie quickly recounted what happened to Da Ya, then sat back down on the stool, looking at Lin Anyuan with a smug expression.
"That's exactly what happened. This young master Liu saved your daughter, and I also saved your daughter. It's not an exaggeration to call him my savior."
If you're so capable, kill him in front of your wife and children!
Come on, come on, hurry up and do it! The meaning in Chu Xiujie's eyes couldn't be clearer.
Lin Anyuan took a deep breath, a hint of fierceness flashing in his eyes, and said, "It's not excessive, thank you."
"Thank you, Young Master Chu, Young Master Liu, please have a seat. I'll go make some tea." Ye Wan invited them in to sit down.
If it weren't for them today, Da Ya, Er Ya, and San Ya would all be in trouble. Ye Wan was very grateful.
"Mother, I'll go."
Da Ya quickly helped Lin Anyuan sit down.
"This girl changes her attitude so fast! She was just trying to get rid of me! Lin Anyuan, do you want some? It's the last piece!"
As Chu Xiujie spoke, he threw the jerky in his hand into his mouth.
Lin Anyuan looked at Chu Xiujie and Liu Wenshu and said, "Gentlemen, I am not able to entertain you today. Could you please come and express your gratitude another day?"
His wound had started to bleed, and he was only managing to stay in a sorry state by forcing himself to stay upright.
Chu Xiujie chuckled and said, "Alright, you can run away but you can't hide. My stomach is really full, so I'll owe you the meal for now."
Chu Xiujie left as soon as he finished speaking, without any hesitation.
"Young Master Liu, thank you very much." Lin Anyuan was about to stand up and bow.
Liu Wenshu, who had been staring at Lin Anyuan, snapped out of his daze and hurriedly waved his hand, "This... no need to thank me, there's another one in the carriage, he seems to be from your village too."
"Hey girl, are you still lingering in my young master's carriage and refusing to get off?"
As Yantai spoke, he pulled Hongmei down.
Hongmei cried softly.
"Young Master Liu, please have a cup of tea before you go. Thank you." Ye Wan came out of the kitchen carrying a teacup, her face streaked with wrinkles and her head covered with straw leaves.
"Alright, Madam Ye, I'll come to see you another day. There's something I want to discuss with you."
Liu Wenshu drank his tea and left cleanly and efficiently. The feeling he got from Lin Anyuan... he subconsciously didn't want to stay any longer.
Da Ya just poured tea for Yantai and Baozi who were driving the carriage.
Everyone in the courtyard had left, but Hongmei was still crying. She whispered to Erya, "Erya, can I stay at your house for the night?"
"No way, you should go back to your home right now. I've had the worst luck imaginable." Er Ya got angry just thinking about it.
The fact that they were made maids in the Liu family is a testament to their good fortune in meeting Young Master Liu; otherwise, they would have been sold off to who knows where.
Daya sighed, "Erya, she's a victim too. Let her go back when it's light."
Dawn is not far off now.
"Thank you, Sister Daya," Hongmei said gratefully.
Er Ya took out a pancake from the kitchen and gave one to Hong Mei, telling her to go to the room with the three sisters.
Hongmei stopped crying and asked softly, "Erya, how do you know Young Master Liu?"
Er Ya spoke of this with pride, “When I was selling food with my mother, Young Master Liu came to eat our food. Once he even gave the three of us sisters a box of hair ornaments.”
Her mother was truly amazing; everything she made was delicious. Once she learned how to make pastries, her mother said she would open a pastry shop.
In the next room, Ye Wan helped Lin Anyuan lie down, and only then did she notice the bloodstains on his clothes.
"Lin Anyuan, are you alright? I'll go get a doctor for you!"
"You're asking if men are capable? I think I'm more than capable!" Lin Anyuan raised an eyebrow at her.
He knew his heart was broken; he wouldn't die from that ginseng alone.
Ye Wan was utterly speechless. Even at a time like this, he still wanted to gain the upper hand verbally. Judging from his appearance, he should be fine.
Ye Wan cleaned his wound and re-bandaged it. She then took a shower and, feeling extremely exhausted, went straight to bed.
"The ginseng you gave me is worth a lot of money."
It was almost dawn, and the room was still dark when Lin Anyuan's voice rang out from beside him.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Wan felt exhausted just now, but lying down now, she can't fall asleep.
"So what if it's worth a lot of money?" Ye Wan asked again when Lin Anyuan didn't speak.
“I mean, you could take this opportunity to leave, sell this ginseng and live a good life. There’s no need for you to suffer like this here.”
Lin Anyuan's voice sounded devoid of any emotion, but his hands, hidden beneath his sleeves, had already clenched into fists.
If she really wants to leave...
Let's go then.
"You still have my indenture. Give it back to me. Besides, I don't feel wronged. It's just that you're not a pleasant person to talk to. Remember to say less in the future."
Ye Wan turned over and closed her eyes, her back to him.
When she first arrived, she really wanted to leave, but now she doesn't think so anymore; the world outside isn't that great.
Lin Anyuan isn't a bad person; he can be relied on in crucial moments. As for the future...
Let's take it one step at a time.
In the darkness, Lin Anyuan stared intently at her back.
After a long while, he still couldn't bring himself to say what was on the tip of his tongue.
...
...
After an unknown amount of time, just as Ye Wan was starting to feel sleepy, she heard the person next to her get up and leave.
Ye Wan woke up with a start and saw Lin Anyuan's back, but didn't say anything.
It was still dark outside, and Ye Wan saw Lin Anyuan slowly open the door through the window.
"Teacher, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wan, who had gotten up from the kang (a heated brick bed), froze on the spot.
A teacher? Lin Anyuan has a teacher?
"I heard you were dying, so I came to see you. But you're perfectly fine. What bastard spread those rumors?"
The person outside the door looked Lin Anyuan up and down, speaking in a serious tone.
"Is your teacher hoping I'll die?"
"That's not the case. Do you have any wine?"
"No."
The person outside the door remained silent for a while, looking at Lin Anyuan.
"You've changed."
Ye Wan inside the room also fell silent; the voice was very familiar.
He's the adopted father she took in, cough, the old man.
Is he Lin Anyuan's teacher?
So the two of them knew each other a long time ago, why pretend they didn't?
Ye Wan quietly got up, went to the window, and looked at the two people in the courtyard.
"Teacher, it's almost dawn, you should go." Lin Anyuan lowered his voice and coughed lightly a few times with his hand to his lips.
The old man's face darkened.
"Don't call me teacher."
