For the next two days, the Lin family remained in a low mood and became the laughing stock of the village.
Su Dashan was discharged from the hospital that day.
Li Hanting drove them back to Su Family Village, with Su Jingjing sitting in the passenger seat.
It was Yan Ling and the others' first time riding in a car, and they were a little unaccustomed to it, carefully touching the decorations on the back seat.
As the county hospital receded into the distance, Yan Ling couldn't help but feel happy, "Finally, I'm far away from this money-burning place."
"I wonder if Xiao Guodong has been throwing a tantrum these past few days."
A sudden thought struck him: "I'll go pick up Xiao Guodong first."
Anyway, they were passing through their in-laws' village.
No one objected; they clearly missed their child too.
Yan Ling looked at her son-in-law sitting in the driver's seat and said, "Han Ting, you've worked so hard these past few days. It's our family's good fortune that Jingjing is able to marry you."
Although Han Ting didn't talk much, he genuinely treated the two elders as his parents. Jing'er was indeed a blessed person, just as the master had said.
Li Hanting secretly hooked his pinky finger with his wife's, looked at his mother-in-law in the mirror, and said gently, "Mom, I am also a part of this family. This is what I should do."
"Okay, okay, we're family."
Yan Ling nodded repeatedly, at this moment she believed that her son-in-law would bring happiness to her daughter.
Su Jingjing turned to look at Yan Ling, winking mischievously, "Mom, your daughter found you such a good son-in-law, you should be secretly happy."
The people in the back seat burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became a little more cheerful.
As soon as the car entered the village, someone recognized Li Hanting's car.
"The village chief and his family are back."
Everyone put down what they were doing to check on Su Dashan's injuries.
This was the first time Su Jingjing had experienced the warmth and hospitality of her hometown.
They are all simple farmers; there are no complicated schemes involved.
Considering that Su Dashan needed to rest, the group decided not to stay at Su's house for too long.
I left in a hurry last time and didn't have time to tidy up the yard and house. This time when I came back, it was obviously much dirtier and messier.
"Dashan, you can't move your head too much. Go back inside and rest."
Yan Ling pushed Su Dashan's back and urged him on.
"Mom, I've been lying in the hospital for the past few days and my back and waist are aching. I can't sleep when I get home."
For someone used to farm work, it's really hard to get used to being idle for a few days.
“Xiao Guodong is crying, let me cheer him up.” As she spoke, she reached out and touched her son’s fair and tender face.
"Wow..."
When his father touched him like that, little Su Guodong cried even harder, trying to bury his head in his mother's arms and escape his father's clutches.
Yan Ling slapped Su Dashan's hand, "It must be your rough hands that make the child feel uncomfortable."
The next second, she shows a completely different face when facing her grandson.
"Don't cry, Guodong. Grandma has already scolded your dad."
The baby cried like a kitten, which Su Jingjing found rather unusual, and an idea popped into her mind.
"Sister-in-law, can I hug you?"
She immediately became a mother to a four-year-old upon arrival, and suddenly realized that babies a few months old are quite adorable.
As soon as Xiao Guodong was in his aunt's arms, he stopped crying instantly. His big eyes blinked as he stared at his aunt, and his little hands kept waving, as if he was very excited.
Dong Qin laughed, "Jingjing, it seems the child really likes you as his aunt."
Su Jingjing's arms were still a little stiff, but she gradually relaxed under the child's smile.
It turns out that little kids can be quite adorable.
Seeing how gentle his wife was with the children, Li Hanting suddenly felt a longing for a third child.
She will definitely be a good mother!
Yan Ling's eyes darted between her daughter and son-in-law.
She actually hopes the two of them will have another child, so that their relationship can take another step forward and she can hold onto her son-in-law tightly.
“Daughter, you and Hanting are still young, why don’t you have another one?”
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to Su Jingjing, who shyly lowered her head to play with the child.
"Mom, wait until An'an and Yuan Yuan are a little older."
She doesn't rule out having another child, but the timing isn't right now.
Seeing that her daughter had this idea, Yan Ling felt much more at ease.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside. Before they could react, the Lin family members pushed open the wooden door and came in.
Yan Ling quickly told Dong Qin to take the child back inside to avoid disturbing the child.
Lin Wang was initially full of arrogance, but his arrogance immediately vanished when he met Li Hanting's wolf-like eyes.
Su Xiang stepped forward with a sullen face.
"Lin Wang, what do you mean by this?"
Lin Wang stopped beating around the bush and said, "Let's be frank today. What do you want from my family to release my Da Niu?"
Never before had he felt so frustrated; Lin Wang had to admit defeat this time.
Su Xiang said firmly, "Act according to the law, and do what is right."
"you……"
Lin Wang was so angry that his face turned green, but because Li Hanting was always standing next to Su Xiang, he dared not make any rash moves.
Li Hanting's gaze deepened. "Village Chief Lin, do you intend to defy the law?"
"I...don't slander me."
In the 1980s, even the slightest inappropriate words or actions could lead to being arrested and sent to a labor camp.
When Granny Lin saw that her old man couldn't handle it, she immediately resorted to throwing a tantrum.
"Your Lin family is going too far. You bully us ordinary people just because your son-in-law is a military officer."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family, with her shifty eyes, sat on the ground with her mother-in-law, wailing.
For a moment, the entire courtyard was filled with the cries of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Lin Wang kept his eyes down, hoping that the two people's crying would be of some use.
