Chapter 20 Don’t you want your parents anymore?
The three of them got in the car together, and Lin Huaizhi followed the instructions of his eldest sister and drove all the way to An Ran's house.
The eldest sister’s name is An Chunyan, and she is the daughter of Anjia Village who married into the town. I usually work in a supermarket to earn some pocket money. That's why she knew Lin Qingwan and An Ran.
The car slowly drove into an increasingly remote road. The road was narrow and there were dense woods on both sides. The road was not easy to drive on, so Lin Huaizhi drove a little slowly.
An Chunyan was a little excited sitting in the back seat, touching and looking around with curiosity on her face. She had never sat in such a nice car before.
"Little brother, this car of yours must have cost a lot of money, right? It doesn't look cheap, it must be hundreds of thousands. Where are you from? Judging from the way you're dressed, your family must be well-off."
Lin Huaizhi smiled gently while driving.
"This car doesn't cost much, it's just for transportation. Our family is just average, and everyone's life is pretty much the same now."
An Chunyan curled her lips and said, "Little brother, don't bluff me. I have been out there for a few years, don't I have this much insight?"
Lin Huaizhi smiled and said nothing.
Old Master Lin was in a low mood, looking at the dilapidated scenery along the way. His heart was filled with pain. His Qingwan had lived in this remote and poor place for twenty years.
Thinking about his daughter, who was raised with great care and expense, he wondered how much hardship and suffering she had to endure.
Lin Huaizhi calmly asked An Chunyan questions, such as in which year did his aunt come here? How do you live now?
When they heard that Lin Qingwan had married here and had a pair of children. They felt distressed but also expected why he didn't contact his family for so many years. Mr. Lin now had a very bad impression of his son-in-law An Guodong.
He must have controlled Qingwan's freedom and forced her to marry him, a farmer. Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. This time, he must bring his daughter home. The eldest daughter of their Lin family should not live in such a place.
Mr. Lin's face did not look very good, and Lin Huaizhi looked at him with some concern.
"Grandpa, are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay, just drive your car safely."
In fact, relying on the financial and material resources of the Lin family. There is no need to find someone yourself, but Mr. Lin felt guilty because he had harmed his daughter due to his poor judgment of the person. Therefore, whenever he received any news, he would go out and look for it personally.
The car drove for nearly half an hour before we saw some sparse houses scattered at the foot of the mountain. No wonder they haven’t found it after so many years. If there wasn’t someone leading the way, they would not have known there was a village here.
In addition, the eldest sister said that my aunt has been frail and sickly for many years and rarely goes out. No wonder it took them so many years to find it, given the power of the Lin family. It was no coincidence that I met my little cousin An Ran this time. It was estimated that they would never have the chance to meet their aunt in this lifetime.
Lin Huaizhi drove the car slowly and stopped in front of a small courtyard. The courtyard wall was made of stones, and there were some flowers and plants planted on both sides of the wall, which looked quite interesting.
An Chunyan got out of the car and walked to the gate of the courtyard. There was a knock on the door.
"Is Qingwan at home?"
"Who is at home?"
After a few knocks on the door, a familiar voice was heard from the yard.
When Mr. Lin heard the voice, his body stiffened and he stared at the gate of the courtyard.
With a creaky sound, the gate opened and a slim woman with a pretty face walked out.
She looked outside with a smile on her face until her eyes fell on Grandpa Lin.
Her smile froze on her face and she stood there like a fool.
Old Master Lin was in tears, trembling all over, and he walked forward tremblingly, his lips quivering.
"You cruel girl, don't you even want your parents?"
Lin Qingwan, who was standing still, started to cry like beads from a broken string when she heard this. She dropped the broom in her hand, walked over quickly, hugged Grandpa Lin tightly, and burst into tears.
"dad......."
The two of them hugged each other and cried. Seeing this, An Chunyan's eyes turned red and she couldn't help but shed tears.
She wiped her tears and advised with a smile on her face.
"Don't cry, it's a happy occasion that a father and daughter are reunited. Qingwan, quickly welcome your father back to the house. Well, I have something to do so I'll leave first, you guys go back to the house."
Having said that, she turned and left.
"Sister, wait a moment."
Lin Huaizhi also had red eyes. He rubbed his sore eyes and saw An Chunyan was about to leave, so he hurriedly called her.
An Chunyan stopped when she heard this and looked at him in confusion.
"Little brother, is there anything else?"
Lin Huaizhi took out a gift bag from the car and handed it to An Chunyan with both hands.
"Big sister, thank you for helping us find my aunt. This is just a small token of gratitude, not a token of respect."
An Chunyan waved her hands hastily: "No, no, we are all from the same village. I didn't help much, and if I accept your thank-you gifts, what kind of person would I be? No, little brother, take it back quickly."
Lin Huaizhi quickly pulled her back and solemnly put the gift bag into her hands.
"Sister, you may think it's just a small favor, but to us it's a huge favor. You must accept this thank you gift, otherwise we will all feel uneasy."
"Normally, I should send you back. But in this situation, I dare not leave. Please take a taxi back by yourself."
"It's okay, it's okay. I just happened to go back to my mother's house to visit her."
After An Chunyan finished speaking, she said goodbye and left with the gift bag.
Along the way, she couldn't help but sigh that Qingwan was such a poor person who hadn't been home to see her parents for more than 20 years. Thinking of the father and daughter crying together, she felt a little uncomfortable.
An Chunyan walked a few steps to her mother's yard. When her mother saw her come in, she asked with a little surprise.
"Why are you back today?"
"Oh," An Chunyan sighed heavily.
"What's the matter?" Chunyan's mother asked.
"It's so pitiful. Qingwan's family came to find us. Both the father and daughter cried like tearful people."
As she spoke, she told her mother what had happened.
Chunyan's mother sighed, "When Guodong brought her back that year, I saw that she was different from us. Her face was as pretty as it could be, and her manners and conversation were not like those of a girl raised in the countryside. I even wondered if this girl was a little silly, because how could someone like that be attracted to Guodong's child? It turns out that Guodong's child is in trouble."
"That's right. Qingwan's father and his nephew don't look like ordinary people. They look just like the domineering CEOs on TV. His nephew even gave me a thank-you gift."
After An Chunyan finished speaking, she opened the gift bag and took out a large envelope. When she opened it, she exclaimed in surprise.
"Mom, mom, look."
Chunyan's mother glanced at her unhappily: "You are already in your forties, and you are still making such a fuss."
When she saw the several stacks of money in An Chunyan's hand, she couldn't help but be amazed.
"My God, how much is this?"
An Chunyan counted and was also shocked.
"Mom, it's 50,000. Qingwan's family is too generous. How about I return the money? I just led a way, and he gave me so much. I feel guilty about taking this money. I can't earn this much money in a year."
When she took the gift bag, she felt it was quite heavy and was wondering if it was some local specialty or something.
Chunyan's mother pondered for a while and said, "Just take it. From what you said about Qingwan's family's style, I guess 50,000 is a drop in the bucket for them. Gangzi is also looking for a wife, so this money is just right for us."
An Chunyan thought about it and nodded. Gangzi is her son. He is old enough to find a partner, but his family had not yet prepared enough money for the bride price. Now they have more than enough.
