With this connection, the man became much kinder and chatted with Tie Dan about his life after being discharged from the army. He went to work in the south and was quite lucky. He first worked as a driver for a boss. On the way to deliver goods, he encountered robbers and saved the boss's life. The boss was also a man of character, so he took him into the building materials business and he became a boss smoothly.
Upon hearing that Tie Dan was working alongside Lu Mo, the man was extremely excited. "Captain Lu is my idol. It's a pity that he retired after I joined him. How is he now? Is he feeling better?"
"It's great. It can run, jump, and sleep. Do you know Huanyu Pharmaceuticals? It's run by Captain Lu. You must have heard of it," Tie Dan said proudly.
The man became even more excited. Of course he knew about Huanyu Pharmaceutical, the largest pharmaceutical company in China. He never expected it to be founded by his idol. He was glad he came today, otherwise he would have missed out.
After the medicine was applied, Xing'er slowly woke up, and the bleeding stopped. When she saw the man, she exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Lin, what brings you here?"
The man's name was Lin Zhengmin, and he was Xing'er's boss. He laughed heartily, "I was worried, so I came to check on you, and the first thing I saw was you doing something stupid."
Xing'er's eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down her face. All the grievances she had been holding back finally burst forth, but Xing'er still managed to restrain herself, only crying softly, which made her even more pitiful. Uncle Niu looked embarrassed and kicked Brother Niu hard with hatred, all because of this good-for-nothing dog.
The other villagers gradually dispersed, feeling more respect for Xing'er. They hadn't expected this girl to be so fierce, slitting her throat in front of everyone and drawing so much blood; it was quite frightening to watch. They would have to be more careful with their words in the future, because if they angered this girl, someone might really die!
Xing'er went back to her room to change her clothes. The wound on her neck looked quite frightening, but the bleeding had stopped. Tang Yuanyuan's medicine was very effective and would heal in a few days.
"Come sit at my place for a while," Tie Dan invited.
Lin Zhengmin was naturally happy to agree, but he looked at Xing'er, afraid that she would be unhappy. Xing'er smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, Uncle Tiedan and Aunt are both good people. Today's incident is only my mother's fault for being useless. It has nothing to do with them."
Tang Yuanyuan felt a little guilty. She was the one who had caused all this trouble today, and she felt somewhat sorry for Xing'er.
Lin Zhengmin was relieved and went back with Tie Dan, partly to catch up and partly to find out what was going on. He was still in a daze and had almost been scared to death by Xing'er.
Tie Dan didn't let Brother Niu and the others into the house. He was annoyed just seeing those two families. His eldest brother was useless, and his second brother was no better. From now on, he would listen to his wife and stop caring about his brothers and sisters.
That evening, Tang Yuanyuan cooked a table of light and refreshing dishes herself. Tie Dan's mother felt guilty and only ate a few bites before going back to her room. Niu Dazhu did the same; he felt more at ease without the two of them.
Ya Dan explained the whole story, and what she said was very fair and impartial, without taking sides.
Lin Zhengmin didn't return to the city that night; he stayed at the Niu family's house. Tang Yuanyuan couldn't sleep and talked to Tiedan about Lin Zhengmin, saying, "I think he's interested in Xing'er."
"Impossible! Lin Zhengmin is fifteen years older than Xing'er, and he's been married before and has a daughter!" Tie Dan shook his head vigorously.
Lin Zhengmin and he are of the same generation, while Xing'er is his junior. If they were to be together, wouldn't they be of different generations?
"What's a fifteen-year age difference? A girl like Xing'er needs an older man to protect her. Just wait and see, Xing'er and Lin Zhengmin will definitely get married." Xing'er was very certain.
