Chapter 160 Life Gets Better, and the Home Is Filled with Laughter
"Mom, it's alright, we didn't see it, hahaha..." Lin Luoxi, Li Wenqian, and the others said they didn't see it, but before they could finish speaking, they couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing the children's laughter, Lin Yangshi felt embarrassed to continue trying to save face for her husband in front of outsiders.
"Hmph, I'll deal with you when we get home." Madam Lin threatened Lin Zhousheng with this before releasing the soft flesh around his waist.
"It's okay, honey. You can do whatever you want with me when we get home." As long as I can eat at Lin Luoxi's house, what's a little punishment? Who knows who will punish whom in the end?
"Hmph!!!" Seeing the most familiar emotion hidden in her husband's eyes, Madam Lin Yang snorted coldly, turned her head away, and started chatting with Madam Lin Wang without turning back, no longer paying attention to her husband.
"Brother Zhou, let's go inside first." After seeing that Lin Zhousheng and his wife had finished showing affection, Lin Dayou pulled Lin Zhousheng towards their home.
When Lin Wenqian heard that Lin Wenjin and Lin Tingting were coming, he happily stood at the gate of the courtyard to wait, but did not rush into the house.
"Wenqian..." Xie Hanchuan saw that Lin Lin and Luo Xi were about to eat, so he wanted to say hello to Lin Wenqian before going back.
"Han Chuan, come in quickly..." Lian Da, who was already walking home, suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called out to Xie Han Chuan, who was about to leave.
"Uncle Dayou, is there something you need?" Xie Hanchuan stopped in his tracks and asked.
"Brother Hanchuan, why are you in such a hurry to go back? Come in and eat quickly." Lin Luoxi saw Xie Hanchuan about to leave and quickly pulled him back in.
"This isn't a good idea..." Xie Hanchuan felt that always eating at Lin Luoxi's house might leave a bad impression on Lin Dayou, making it even harder for him to marry Lin Luoxi in the future.
"Han Chuan, what are you saying? We're all family, come in quickly." Lin Dayou saw that Xie Han Chuan was still fidgeting in the yard, so he quickly and warmly invited Xie Han Chuan over.
"Why is your husband so good to Xie Hanchuan?" Lin Yangshi asked, a little puzzled by Lin Dayou's enthusiasm for Xie Hanchuan.
"What's the big deal? Don't you know my man is always hospitable? Besides, Han Chuan has helped us so much, we can't just be heartless!"
Of course, Madam Lin Wang wouldn't tell Madam Lin Yang what her husband was thinking, so she just made up this excuse to brush it off.
"Aren't the villagers all saying that Xie Hanchuan is a cursed star, a jinx? Aren't you afraid?" Lin Yangshi brought up the villagers' prejudice against Xie Hanchuan again, whispering to Lin Wangshi.
"Different people have different opinions, and I don't believe that Han Chuan is some kind of nemesis."
"On the contrary, I think he's a lucky charm. Look how close he is to our family; things have gradually improved for us."
"Why are you sharing the same ideas as those people in the village? That's so unfair to a child."
"He also longs for his parents to be by his side, but fate has played a cruel trick on him. Life is already difficult enough for him. As people from the village, we should care for him more than ever, instead of hurting such a kind person with our words."
Hearing Lin Yangshi speak of Xie Hanchuan in this way, Lin Wangshi frowned and couldn't help but defend Xie Hanchuan.
Xie Hanchuan's tragic background is already difficult enough, but instead of showing him any kindness, the villagers use his past to slander him. It just goes to show how cold and heartless the world is.
"I didn't say anything bad about him, I was just saying it casually, why are you getting so worked up?" Lin Yangshi quickly softened her tone when Lin Wangshi defended Xie Hanchuan.
“Everyone just says it casually, but the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. If Han Chuan heard this, how would he feel? If it were us, we would definitely feel bad if someone said that to us.” Madam Lin repeated the same point.
The tongue has no bones, yet it can be transformed into a sharp blade, capable of wounding the heart most deeply.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I won't say it again."
"These past two days, spending time with Han Chuan has revealed that he's not as terrifying as the villagers have rumored," Lin Yangshi said, softening her tone as she dared not argue with Lin Yangshi any further.
"Let's go, those two old men must be hungry. Let's take the food in first." Seeing that Lin Yangshi's tone had softened, Lin Wangshi didn't say too much about the matter and changed the subject.
"Alright!" Seeing that Lin Wangshi had changed the subject, Lin Yangshi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She felt a little afraid of Lin Wangshi now.
Xie Hanchuan, who was in the courtyard with Lin Wenqian and the others, naturally overheard the conversation between Lin Wangshi and Lin Yangshi, and felt very grateful to Lin Wangshi.
From childhood to adulthood, he was always ostracized and marginalized by the villagers. No one ever spoke up for him or understood his situation.
Now, hearing Lin Wangshi's words of defense for him, Xie Hanchuan felt an urge to cry.
In the past, during his most difficult times, Lin Dayou would always secretly give him black steamed buns that he himself was reluctant to eat, and he was always very grateful to Lin Dayou.
Therefore, despite his cold-blooded attitude towards the villagers, he risked his life to save Lin Luoxi when she was pushed into the river to the east by Lin Luodan.
Lin Luoxi naturally learned of Xie Hanchuan's changes, and even the usually fierce Lin Luoxi couldn't help but feel sorry for the poor boy.
Thinking that in the future, he would help Xie Hanchuan if he could, so that they could all get rich together.
While everyone in the courtyard had different thoughts, Lin Wentao invited Lin Wenjin and Lin Tingting over.
Everyone enjoyed dinner together, sharing gossip they had heard during the day's land clearing.
After dinner, the four adults prepared what they needed for tomorrow, while the children gathered around the oil lamp in the Lin family's house to study together, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
The moonlight hung high in the sky, illuminating the busy people in the courtyard, creating a harmonious and relaxed atmosphere.
Because of the prodigy Lin Luoxi, the children started to compete with each other, creating a great learning atmosphere. Apart from the sound of turning pages, no one said a word.
The adults were busy with their work, but their eyes kept glancing at the children.
Afraid of making a sound and distracting the children, they communicated with each other through eye contact, occasionally flashing happy smiles.
These days are wonderful. The adults all know who brought these days to them, and they all look at Lin Luoxi, thanking her for the peace she brought after she regained consciousness.
Reading should be done step by step, gradually, and not hastily. After studying for an hour, Lin Luoxi told everyone to go back to sleep.
Lin Zhousheng and Lin Yang were leading their children home after they realized that the children's study time had ended.
Meanwhile, Lin Luoxi and Li Wenqian personally escorted Xie Hanchuan home.
"Brother Hanchun, how about I lend you my money, and you can build a house next to mine? That way, our two families can take care of each other."
