♂?，，

  Because Ye Ke'er and Ye Xiang'er are about to part ways, the sorrow is too deep, and she has no heart to bother Lin Lan, but whenever she sees Lin Lan, she rolls her eyes, Lin Lan is too lazy to argue with her, in her heart it's clear that this isn't her main battlefield, someone like Ye Ke'er who doesn't have much destructive power is not even worth her attention.

  Mrs. Ye tried several times with moxibustion and washing, combined with Zhou Ma's massage learned from Lin Lan, and the numbness was relieved a lot. Mrs. Ye had a slightly changed view of Lin Lan, it seemed that this girl was not just good at talking, but also had some real skills.

  So Lin Lan's days at Ye Fu were spent relatively comfortably, only worrying that the sixteen sets of beautiful clothes could be completed before departure.

  The departure date has been set soon, April 11th, a lucky day for travel, which is the day after tomorrow.

  The day has finally come, and Lin Lan is starting to feel uneasy. When she really wants to leave the place where she has lived for three years, leave the people closest to her, rush towards the uncertain future, and even face many unknown dangers, her heart is racing, and she can't sleep well all night.

  In the morning, the sky was bright and misty, and the silver willow awakened Lin Lan.

  "Master told the young lady to get up quickly."

  As soon as it was Li Mingyun who called out, Lin Lan hugged her quilt and refused to get up, she was really sleepy, lazily asking: "What's the point of getting up? We're not learning rules today anyway."

  Said to be accompanying the girl back to Gouxi Village.

  Lin Lan's wake-up call, yeah! Tomorrow we'll all be leaving, gotta go back and see my brother and the folks from Jianxi Village.

  Ma Li dressed quickly, washed and refreshed herself, and had a dignified breakfast. Lin Lan only picked up two pieces of bread, ate them hastily, and asked Xing Liu: "Where is the young master?"

  Yinliu looked at her anxious appearance and smiled: "Miss, don't worry, the young master said to take a horse carriage, it won't take more than an hour to arrive."

  Lin Lan stuffed a mouthful of rice cakes and said vaguely: "Let's go early and cool off." She then prepared to leave.

  "Miss..." Yu Rong called out to her.

  "What's wrong?"

  Yu Rong handed over a clean handkerchief and pointed to the corner of her mouth: "Miss, there's something dirty here."

  Lin Lan felt a bit embarrassed, took over the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then asked Yu Rong with a red face: "Is this okay?"

  Yu Rong carefully examined her from head to toe before finally revealing a smile: "Alright. Ye Zi, you look great."

  The villagers of Xicun Village seemed to have received the news early and were waiting at the village entrance.

  Lin Lan saw a sea of dark faces, looking at the villagers' eager eyes and joyful smiles. Lin Lan felt tremendous pressure. This time she returned to the village, in the eyes of the villagers, was also considered a triumphant return. A triumphant return is a good thing, but it seems that people who make a triumphant return should bring benefits to their hometown, otherwise how can they live up to everyone's enthusiasm? Unfortunately, this time she came empty-handed, Lin Lan regretted it endlessly. If only she had known earlier, buying a bag of candies would have been good too, even if it couldn't buy off the adults, it could still win over the children! Unfortunately, it was too late now.

  Lin Lan couldn't help but blame Li Mingyun, saying in a low voice: "It's all because of you, rushing me like this. If I had known earlier, I would have bought some gifts too. Now, what face can I use to meet them?"

  Li Mingyu drew a faint smile and turned his head to say to a following servant: "Wenshan, take out the things in the carriage."

  Lin Lan was shocked, what's in the carriage? She sat all the way without knowing what was hidden inside.

  Wen Shan's servant got on the carriage at his call and soon came out with a large bag.

  "What's inside?" Lin Lan asked curiously.

  Li Mingyun softly said two words: "Wedding candy."

  Lin Lan was overjoyed, but her mouth lightly said: "Really petty."

  Li Mingyu didn't bother with her either, and instead greeted Village Chief and Lin Feng with a bow: "Village Chief, Big Brother."

  The village head nodded with a smile, and Lin Feng saw his own sister standing together with Li Xiucan, who was wearing silk and jade, and his heart felt sweeter than honey, his face smiling like a flower.

  "Sister-in-law, sister, you've finally arrived."

  Lin Lan instructed Yin Liu: "There are thirty-two households in Xi Village, let's calculate how to divide them."

  Wen Shan, who was standing beside her, said: "Young Madam, Young Master has already prepared everything. There are thirty-two pieces of wedding candies here, and each bag also contains two silver coins. The village head's family, Jin Dabao's family, and Young Madam's natal family... Young Master has also prepared additional gifts for them. After I distribute these gifts, I will take the special gift to Young Madam's natal family, and have Young Madam present it to them personally."

  Lin Lan was really caught off guard this time, she didn't expect Li Ming to have made preparations so early and even considered it so thoroughly. What's infuriating is that he didn't even tell her, she extremely dislikes the feeling of being kept in the dark.

  After grumbling to herself for a while, Lin Lan took another look at this servant named Wen Shan. This young man was tall and strong, with well-developed limbs, yet his eyes were bright and spirited, exuding a clever air. He also spoke very logically.

  "Alright! Then let's work hard." Lin Lan nodded in approval.

  "This is what I should do."

  "Lin Lan, let's go." Li Ming Yu softly called out to her.

  "Sister, go home! Eldest sister got up early and cooked eggs, also made tea cakes." Lin Feng said with a smile.

  "Village head, brother." Lin Lan happily came forward, wanting to hold her brother's hand, but Li Ming allowed took a step forward and blocked the way, holding Lin Lan's hand, with a warm smile like spring sunshine, his voice gentle as spring breeze: "Let's go!"

  Lin Lan gave Li Mingyun a covert glare, this guy was acting again, whenever there were spectators he would show off.

  Lin Feng saw the two hands tightly clasped together, and a smile appeared at the corners of his eyes. Previously, he had many worries about his sister marrying Li Xiucui, but now it seemed that Li Xiucui was a reliable person who was considerate to his sister, so he didn't have much to worry about anymore.

  A group of people surrounded the two and arrived at Lin Lan's house in the east of the village. Li Ming allowed himself to be accompanied by the village chief and his elder brother, while Lin Lan was surrounded by a group of girls from the village.

  "Wow! Lin Lan, this satin is so beautiful and smooth." Er Niu envied her, stretching out her hand to stroke the clothes on Lin Lan's body through the air, afraid that her dirty hands would stain Lin Lan's new clothes.

  "Lan Lin! What good fortune, marrying such a wonderful man."

  "Yes, yes, I saw it early on. Li Xiuciai is not a simple person, but I didn't expect him to be even more formidable than I imagined."

  "Old Mrs. Chen, what's the use of having a good look at it early? Unfortunately, she didn't give birth to a daughter as pretty as Lin Lan." someone joked.

  Auntie Jin also chimed in, feigning regret and sighing: "I originally wanted Lin Lan to be my daughter-in-law, but she was snatched away by someone from another family."

  "Auntie Jin, you've lost weight recently, are you heartbroken?" Everyone started teasing Auntie Jin again.

  Auntie Jin didn't get annoyed at all and cooperated by saying: "That's right, I was so heartbroken that I couldn't sleep for several nights."

  Everyone burst out laughing.

  Lin Lan listened to everyone's chatter and laughter, feeling a strong sense of closeness and genuinely liking these simple villagers.

  Yao Jinhua brought over some eggs for everyone to eat, and after hearing the lively chatter, she smiled complacently and said: "This is what they mean by 'predestined marriage', my Lin Lan is definitely a lucky person."

  Jin Datie felt uneasy about Yao Jinhua and said disdainfully, "This predestined marriage was almost ruined by some people."

  Yao Jinhua smiled and said: "Let bygones be bygones. Come, eat the egg, and share in the joy."

  Lin Lan glanced at Yao Jinhua lightly.

  Yao Jinhua saw Lin Lan looking at her, and with a somewhat guilty smile, she said ingratiatingly: "Little sister, why don't you have an egg too?" Yao Jinhua was originally someone who curried favor with the powerful and bullied the weak. Seeing that Lin Lan had now become a goddess of wealth, she didn't dare to show off in front of her anymore. She tailed off obediently, still hoping to get some benefits from Lin Lan.

  "Sister-in-law, is my medicine box still here?" Lin Lan asked.

  "I haven't touched anything," Yao Jinhua hastily said.

  "Alright, sister-in-law, come with me to tidy up some things. Excuse me for a moment, everyone." Lin Lan smiled and bid farewell to the group of aunties and sisters before heading back into the house.

  Yao Jinhua followed immediately after, flattering: "Little sister, what needs to be tidied up, let sister do it, don't get this dress dirty."

  Lin Lan didn't mince words with her, saying a few things and telling Yao Jinhua to go find them. Seeing Yao Jinhua busily scurrying about, Lin Lan said indifferently: "Sister-in-law, you also know that times have changed, I can let bygones be bygones, but in the future, as long as you're diligent and take care of the household, and are considerate of your husband, I, Lin Lan, will acknowledge you as my sister-in-law. If not, you should also know my temper, don't think that just because I'm in the capital, I won't know what's going on at home. As soon as I hear even a little bad news, I'll immediately find another sister-in-law for my brother in the capital." The words had already been made clear, if Yao Jinhua still didn't understand, Lin Lan wouldn't care about any nonsense about not destroying a family, and would resolutely persuade her brother to divorce Yao Jinhua.

  "Ah, little sister! Look at what you said. A husband is a woman's heaven, how can I not respect and be good to my heaven? Just go ahead and do your thing as the young mistress, leave the household to my elder sister, she'll take care of our brother and make sure he's comfortable, and manage this family with precision."

  Lin Lan looked at Yao Jinhua with suspicion, thinking to herself that this woman was not simple and could be flexible when needed. She hoped that Yao would follow through on her words.

  "Little sister, don't be skeptical! If you don't believe me, go ask your brother. I've been really good to him lately." Yao Jinhua seemed eager to prove that she had changed her ways. What Yao Jinhua said was true, because during this time Lin Feng had a grudge against her and was always lukewarm towards her. If it were in the past, she would have already made a scene, but now things were different. Lin Feng had a younger sister who was a lady, and he had become more confident, speaking louder than before. Yao Jinhua firmly believed that as soon as she stepped out of this house, there would be a large group of women who wanted to marry Lin Feng. How could she not try to curry favor with him? She couldn't let other women take advantage of her.

  "It's not just about being good during this period of time, but also about treating me well from now on." Lin Lan corrected her seriously.

  "That's for sure." Yao Jinhua hastened to guarantee.

  On the other side, Li Mingyun said to the village chief: "Our contract with Zhang's family has one more year before it expires. I have already discussed it with my maternal grandfather, and at that time, the Ye family will send someone to sign a contract with us. The price will definitely be more favorable than Zhang's family. As for what opinions Zhang's family has, our Ye family will take care of it."

  The village head Jin Fugui was overjoyed: "That's great! I represent the villagers to thank Mr. Li!"

  Li Mingyun smiled calmly: "I have been here for three years, thanks to everyone's care. Lin Lan also often mentions the help you gave her, and it is our duty to do something for everyone."

  The villagers present couldn't help but look at Li Mingyu with even more warmth and secretly congratulated themselves on having stood firm in their support for the right person from the very beginning.
