Chapter Fourteen: The Old Do Not Die

  ♂?,,

  "Just look at it ~" Li Mingyun smiled slightly, the curve of his lips was just right, elegant and warm, with a hint of intimacy, even he himself didn't notice how naturally this feeling of closeness arose.

  From this moment on, she was his nominal wife, a comrade-in-arms who fought alongside him, and one of the most important people in his life for the next three years. The world is indeed unpredictable; before Lin Lan showed up at his doorstep, he would never have imagined that Lin Lan would burst into his life in such a way, and yet he accepted it. Absurd? Perhaps. Laughable? Not necessarily.

  He could imagine what kind of emotions those people would have when he brought Lin Lan back to that house. Disappointment? Anger? ... Or ridicule, sarcasm, it didn't matter, as early as three years ago, the moment that woman entered the door, he had nothing but hatred for that house.

  Mother is proud and chooses to leave for dignity, he also has the same pride, but he will not choose to escape.

  Li Jingxian and Han Qiuyue, let's enjoy our carefree life for three years, it's time to make a conclusion.

  "No, I have to go back first, anyway... there's plenty of time in the future to hear stories." Lin Lan saw that it was already late and didn't feel like staying, so she made a goodbye gesture to Li Xiūcái and left the thatched hut.

  The Lin family's house on the east side of the village is brightly lit tonight, and since the death of the hostess Shen Peirong two years ago, the Lin family has not received so many guests.

  Lin Feng crouched at the door, anxiously looking out for his sister, why hadn't she come back yet?

  "Village head, Uncle Chen Liang, Uncle Yao Hui, you all should have a good talk with Lin Lan later, she's got a stubborn temper and doesn't know what's important..." Yao Jinhua poured tea for the village elders with a warm and gentle smile.

  Several elders remained silent, each puffing on their pipes, making a hissing sound... The room was filled with smoke and the atmosphere was gloomy.

  Yao Jinhua's efforts were met with no response, and she felt unhappy in her heart. These old busybodies, who interfered with everyone's business. Looking at Lin Feng squatting by the door again, Yao Jinhua was furious. This useless coward, when he saw these old guys, didn't even dare to fart, let alone do anything else. When Lin Lan comes back, if he still acts like this, she'll teach him a lesson.

  "Where has Lin Lan gone? It's so late already." Chen Liang Shu said worriedly, looking at the gate. Lin Lan was such a good girl, which family in the village hadn't received her help? When they knew Lin Lan was going to marry Zhang Da Hu as a concubine, his wife was so angry that she almost smashed the bowl, scolding Yao Jin Hua for being an evil mother-in-law.

  "She can't have run away, can she?" Yao Jinhua muttered to herself, and at the thought of this possibility, Yao Jinhua couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Yezi slowly walked over.

  Yao Hui's uncle grunted and stared at Yao Jinhua: "Lin Lan is not a person without credit."

  Yao Jinhua shrank her neck, avoiding the sharp gaze of Yao Hui's uncle, and secretly thought: These old guys are all siding with Lin Lan, if they ruin her good things, she will push the responsibility onto them, let's see how Zhang Dahu deals with them.

  Lin Lan got off the mountain and hadn't even arrived home when she saw a group of people standing at the intersection.

  "Jin Dama, Chen Dasao, Er Niu..." Lin Lan called out as she walked forward.

  Auntie Jin saw Lin Lan return and hurried over to pull her hand, saying seriously: "Lin Lan, we've all heard about what happened. You're a good girl and absolutely cannot marry Zhang Da Hu as a concubine. Don't worry, we'll all support you. If your sister-in-law and brother force you, I'll get Uncle Fu Gui to drive them out of Jianxi Village."

  "Yes, Lin Lan, don't be afraid, we must hold on, we will support you." Chen Dabao also firmly expressed her stance.

  Hearing these heart-wrenching words and looking at these sincere faces, Lin Lan couldn't help but tear up. Who said that after her mother passed away, she had no one to care for her? There were still so many kind aunts who were willing to stand up and support her in her most difficult time... Lin Lan was deeply moved: "Thank you, aunts, thank you all. With your support, I have the courage now. Don't worry, I will definitely persevere."

  Lin Feng finally saw the familiar figure in the darkness, let out a sigh of relief and got up to greet her: "Sister, where have you been? Haven't eaten yet? I'll go heat up some food for you."

  The look in his eyes was a mixture of yesterday's pain and love, while Lin Lan felt a thousand grievances in her heart. If he wasn't so weak, would Yao Jinhua dare to do this?

  Seeing the melancholy gaze of his sister, Lin Feng felt a pang of guilt and whispered: "Sister, whatever you think later is what you should tell Village Chief and the others. As for what Brother says, don't take it to heart, Sister...Brother may be useless, but he will never force you to do something you don't like."

  Lin Lan was taken aback, her brother's meaning was that later he would be pressured and wouldn't speak up for her, but in his heart he was on her side? Lin Lan felt very disappointed, at this time, her brother still didn't stand up for her? Still considering Yao Jinhua's feelings? No wonder Mother always said that Brother was someone who forgot his mother after marrying a wife, Yao Jinhua was indeed the bane of Brother's life... Forget it, forget it, anyway she hadn't expected anything from Brother, could only rely on herself. Lin Lan lowered her head and silently passed by her brother.

  Lin Feng saw that his sister was ignoring him, and he felt even more distressed. He wasn't unwilling to help his sister, but he couldn't do it openly. Jin Hua had made a ruthless statement today, if she lost face, she would take the child in her womb and die in front of him.

  "Lin Lan is back! I was just thinking of asking Brother to go find her!" Yao Jinhua smiled brightly, as if Lin Lan were her own little sister.

  Lin Lan gave her a disdainful glance and said indifferently: "Are you afraid I'll run away, and the silver in your hands will be gone?"

  Yao Jinhua's smile froze: "Look at what you're saying, you're a sensible person, how can you say run and then just run? Besides, where can you run to?"

  Threats, naked threats, in other words, can you outrun the palm of Zhang's hand?

  Lin Lan snorted and ignored her, walking forward to pay respects to the village elder.

  "Because of Lin Lan's affair, Village Chief and Chen Liang Shu as well as Yao Hui Shu were added to the trouble, Lin Lan felt very apologetic."

  The village chief tapped the tobacco rod on the stool leg, put away the tobacco bag, and said with a harmonious face: "Lin Lan! The villagers are all very concerned about this matter, so tonight I specially invited Uncle Chen Liang and Uncle Yao Hui to come over, let's discuss it together, just talk about the idea first!"

  The village chief opened his mouth and brought out the old and young villagers. His positive attitude was very different from that at noon, Lin Lan knew that this had a great relationship with Jin Dama's threat, it seemed that the power of pillow talk was not small.

  Yao Jinhua heard this and couldn't help but secretly resent them. No wonder these old guys didn't speak up earlier, it turned out they had already made up their minds to take Lin Lan's side. Hmph! They have their Zhang Liang strategy, I have my own ladder over the wall, let's ride our donkeys and see who comes out on top.
