Tan Wenbin: "Mr. Li, Ah You also needs soone to accompany him."
Li Sanjiang shook his head and said, "It's different. You have plans here, but he doesn't, so it's right to secure the plans first."
Zhou Yunyun wiped her hands while walking out and asked with a smile, "What are you all talking about?"
Tan Wenbin: "Mr. Li is afraid you'll run away and advises to keep an eye on you."
Li Sanjiang: "You brat."
Chen Lin walked up to Lin Shuyou and said, "Shall I go with you to deliver the goods?"
Lin Shuyou: "No need, I can manage."
After speaking, Lin Shuyou pulled the large cart down the dam in one go, then continued forward without reducing speed, finally smoothly turning onto the village road.
Li Sanjiang looked on with satisfaction; as long as the mule at ho is well-fed, it runs no slower than a motorized one.
"Sister Liu."
"Sister Liu."
In the distance, three elderly sisters ca together under Liu Jinxia's lead.
They were playing cards that day, and no one knew how much was won or lost, only that ti flew quickly. It was Ting Hou who finally said it was getting late, prompting them to go ho.
After that day, news ca out that Liu Yui wasn't feeling well and went to Shanghai for treatnt.
If it were in town or the city, the three of them could visit, but since it was Shanghai, they couldn't.
Once Liu Yui recovered, she asked Aunt Liu to call them over to play cards again.
Aunt Liu went to boil water as usual and prepared the fruit plates while Chen Lin ca in to help with the serving.
"You can put it down now; you already helped this morning. You don't need to keep working."
"It's no trouble. I don't have anything else to do anyway. Staying busy makes feel more at ease."
Aunt Liu asked, "Are you like this at ho too?"
Chen Lin shook her head, "No, but I can do what's necessary."
Before leaving ho, she was a lady of the Chen Family, and even after leaving, she never lacked in material needs. Yet, she still had the skills of reading situations. Lin Shuyou had to deliver goods, so it was only right for her to lend a hand here.
Tan Wenbin ca to the card table, handed a cigarette to Granny Hua and Liu Jinxia, lit them, then asked about how the two kids at Wang Lian's house were doing.
Finally, he said to Liu Yui, "Old lady, I'm taking Yunyun out for a stroll."
Liu Yui nodded, "Three dots."
Tan Wenbin pushed out a bicycle and rode Zhou Yunyun down the dam.
It was rare for the two of them to get together normally, and since the weather was good today, Tan Wenbin planned to first visit their late classmate Zheng Haiyang's grave and then pay respects at his godparents' grave.
anwhile, Chen Lin continued to serve tea and bring water around the card table. When she had a mont, she stood behind Liu Yui in waiting.
If this family were divided into levels, those who don't work certainly rank higher than those who do. Liu Yui, playing cards in the morning, should be on the sa level as Mr. Li.
Liu Jinxia and Granny Hua curiously asked Liu Yui who this girl was.
Liu Yui muddled through a few words without introducing her, so the two old won didn't press further.
To make up sothing like a grandniece would be easy, but Liu Yui sticks to her word. Even a lie cos with corresponding benefits and treatnt.
For now, this girl isn't qualified for that.
The young girl's innocence faced shadows, and she's truly polite. But if you think she has no thoughts at all, you're underestimating her.
The nuances here, Miss Liu clearly knows.
Take it slow; if you can win over that Lin family boy, I'd be happy to give you benefits.
The people delivering goods still set up and arranged for others, and as it's customary for the hosts to provide a al, Chen Lin ended up eating alone at lunchti.
ng ng, fearing she was lonely, proactively sat beside her for company, asking her about culinary skills.
Chen Lin shared all she knew, and Yin ng listened eagerly.
Aunt Liu ate her al while her eyelids twitched slightly, knowing this disciple of hers had a deep interest in cooking.
In the afternoon, Liu Yui continued their card ga. After Chen Lin set up tea and snacks, she went to help Yin ng craft coffins.
She quickly got the hang of it, lines and standards were clear, and she soon coordinated with Yin ng.
During a break, Liu Yui got up and walked around, spotting the two girls focused on making coffins.
Ha, a descendant of Yin Changsheng, and one from the Yin Yang Family—now both craftsn in a coffin shop.
In the afternoon, Lin Shuyou and Run Sheng returned.
Yin ng casually picked up a rag and vigorously dusted Run Sheng off.
Run Sheng spread his arms, turned around, and let her dust him down.
Yin ng: "Shouldn't you go see your grandpa?"
Run Sheng shook his head: "Mr. Li said that Grandpa will co tomorrow, so we don't have to go today. Tonight, Grandpa will definitely be fasting and leave his stomach empty. If we go, we'd be eating the family food, and he'll be unhappy, saying we live as if carrying stones up the mountain."
Yin ng: "That's true."
Chen Lin offered a cup of tea to Lin Shuyou, who hesitated before taking it. After drinking, he accepted the big teapot from Run Sheng and gulped so more.
Chen Lin wanted to emulate Yin ng, helping Lin Shuyou dust off, but she pulled out a handkerchief instead.
Using that on a man seed more like flirting.
Chen Lin asked, "Do you miss ho?"
Lin Shuyou shook his head, "No, and it's also inconvenient for to go back now."
If he returned, there's a chance the Lords of Yin at the family temple might collectively oppose him, turning a ho visit into a challenge.
Lin Shuyou: "You'll be able to go back in a while."
After all, the Lu Family can't last much longer, and the oppression the Chen Family faces will also disappear.
