Chapter 35

There are only two rooms in Yan's house, one for Yan Ju and Yun Niang, one for his son Yan Hongye, and the old man and old lady slept on a bed in the main room.

At the time when Father Lin was not married, he slept in this bed.

Yun Niang first went to Yan Hongye to take a look. Yan Hongye was ten years old this year. Like Yan Ju, he was placed with great expectations by the old man and the old lady, and he started to prepare for the exam early.

Seeing Yun Niang, he said: "Mother, I'm hungry, have you bought the buns?"

Only then did Yun Niang remember that her son said this morning that he wanted to eat steamed buns. She originally wanted to go to the steamed stuffed bun shop after buying the white rice, but she didn't care.

Yun Niang smiled apologetically, "Mother came back in a hurry, I forgot, can I go again tomorrow?"

Yan Hongye immediately dropped the pen, "I just want to eat steamed stuffed buns. I haven't eaten steamed stuffed buns for a long time. Go out and buy them for me now. Go quickly."

Yan Hongye was spoiled by the old man and the old lady. He has owned everything in the house since he was a child, and he took everything he wanted for granted.

Yun Niang lowered her voice and coaxed: "Hongye, don't make trouble. Mother has something serious to tell your grandma. After you finish talking, you will have buns to eat every day."

Yan Hongye rolled his eyes, "Then I want to eat high-quality white rice?"

In the past few years, the family has always eaten the most inferior white rice, Yan Hongye did not know how many times he had quarreled.

Yun Niang nodded, "Of course."

Yan Hongye was happy now, "Then go quickly."

Before Yun Niang went out, she closed the door for him. As soon as she left, Yan Hongye immediately took out the book hidden below, and continued to read it with gusto.

The old man and the old lady were resting in the main room, Yun Niang forced out a smile before walking over, "Father, mother."

Yan's father glanced at her, frowned and said: "Hongye Wenshu, don't go in and disturb him, you will definitely miss his county examination."

"That's right, I don't know how to walk lightly. I even have a headache when I hear it."

It was Yan's mother who spoke.

Normally, Yun Niang would argue with them, but today she endured it.

"Father, I just went to the rice shop to buy rice, and heard some news."

"What's the news?" Yan's father glared, "Just now Hongye said he wanted to eat steamed stuffed buns but instead of buying them, he was still chatting with people outside?"

Yun Niang simply omitted the foreshadowing, and said directly: "Father, Yan Ju's brother is now rich, and his family said that his brother is Boss Lin who sold barbecue on Xishou Street a while ago."

Yan's father's first reaction: "Yan Ju has no brother!"

My second reaction was to widen my eyes, "What did you say?"

The Yan family stood up straight away, "Yun Niang, who are you talking about, Boss Lin?"

Yun Niang told what she heard in the rice shop today, and she deliberately emphasized: "I heard that Boss Lin's barbecue business is very good, and I don't know how much money he earns every day."

The Yan family's father and mother looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

It's been almost thirty years, they have long forgotten about that brother, and they thought he was dead long ago.

As a result, news about him suddenly came out, and it was still such good news.

The Yan family's parents are very concerned about face, so when something like that happened to Father Lin, they kicked him out in a hurry.

And since then, he never mentioned Father Lin.

Seeing that they kept silent, Yun Niang said anxiously: "Father and mother, you all know the current situation of our family, my husband will go to the provincial capital to take the exam for talent soon, let alone money, the family can't even afford the money to buy food.And Hongye, he also needs money to buy books, I heard that Scholar Zhang's commentary book, the handwritten copy alone costs a tael of silver."

Yun Niang knows what Yan's parents care about most, so she only picks up what they care about.

Sure enough, the Yan family's parents immediately let go.

"Yun Niang, that Boss Lin, is he really his brother?"

Yun Niang knew who this "he" was referring to, so she nodded quickly, "Yes, I found out, Boss Lin's name is Lin Yan, and they are the only family in Jiahe Village with the surname Lin."

Yan's father stopped talking, his face looked very ugly.

Yan's mother was very happy, "Although Yan Lan has not been with us these years, she is still a child of the family. She must have missed us all these years. Old man, when is it, do you still care about your face?"

The father of the Yan family said stiffly: "Back then...if someone found out, what face would I have?"

Afraid that he would object, Yun Niang hurriedly persuaded, "Father, think about Xianggong and Hongye, when they are admitted to be a scholar or a juren in the future, you will be the father of the master Juren."

Yan's father's expression immediately became much better.

Yan's mother cast an appreciative look at Yun Niang, praising her for being reasonable.

"Father and mother, when are we going to Jiahe Village? We haven't seen each other for so many years, my brother must be looking forward to our going every day."

Yan's father snorted softly, "If the young one doesn't come to the door by himself, we two old ones have to go to see him?"

Yun Niang turned over Byakugan silently, what Yan's father likes most is to put on the majesty of the head of the family.

Fortunately, Yan's mother helped to speak, "How could he dare to come back when the troubles were like that back then? Besides, Mrs. Li on the opposite side still remembers that. It would be okay if she saw Yan Lan?"

When Yan's father heard this, he immediately compromised.

Yun Niang breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to urge, "Father and mother, you should go to Jiahe Village earlier. Just now, my husband said that Scholar Zhang has published a new commentary, and Hongye's ink is almost used up."

As she spoke, she began to prepare things for the old man and the old lady, wishing they would go out soon.

Under her urging, the Yan family's father and mother set foot on the road to Jiahe Village the next day.

Naturally, Yun Niang had no money to rent an ox cart for them, so the two old ones could only walk.

After sending them out, Yun Niang spat, the two old men had tortured her for more than ten years and it was finally of some use.

When I went back, I saw Yan Ju walking back and forth in the room. When Yan Ju saw her, he frowned and said, "Why didn't you go with me?"

Yun Niang made an excuse casually, "My parents said they were afraid that I would offend my brother because I couldn't speak."

Yan Ju was still very upset, "Jiahe Village is so far away, and no one is taking care of the two of them on the old road."

Yun Niang turned around and walked towards Yan Hongye's room, "Hongye said he wanted custard, so I'll make it for him."

"Steam a bowl for me too."

"……Row."

In the past two days, Lin Yan's delivery went to two more places, and the results were very good, and he had a lot more money in his pocket.

After the news about the marriage of Brother Linsan, Brother Linsan, the number of people talking about the marriage has not decreased, but more and more.But now Father Lin dared not meet anyone casually, he had no experience, so he asked Aunt Yuan and Aunt Wang to help check it out.

Therefore, in the past two days, some unfamiliar faces appeared outside Jiahe Village from time to time, either to inquire about the situation of the Lin family, or to ask for directions directly.

The Yan family's father and mother didn't arrive until the afternoon, when the sun was at its strongest, their old faces were flushed with heat, and their legs were trembling.

Under the big banyan tree, Aunt Wang was sitting with Aunt Yuan, and the two chatted about the families they had met in the past two days.

"I see that the house this morning is good, the parents are reasonable, and the elder brother looks good."

"I think the house the day before yesterday is good, the girl is so good at sewing."

"Then let's take a look."

"It's not enough for the girl and brother to be good, and you have to save trouble for your mother's family. If they are all like those two in Wangu Village, can't they live a better life?"

"That's the reason."

The two were talking, and suddenly two people approached them and asked them, "Excuse me, where is Yan Lan's house?"

Aunt Yuan and Aunt Wang were stunned, who is Yan Lan?

Aunt Wang said decisively, "I don't know."

Aunt Yuan was also at a loss.

Yan's mother changed the way of asking, "Where does the Lin family live?"

Aunt Yuan patted her thigh, "I remembered, Uncle Lin seems to be called Yan Lan."

Aunt Wang's vigilance suddenly became less vigilant, she looked at Yan's parents, and said politely: "Uncle and aunt, are you here to kiss?"

Yan's father stomped his cane angrily, "What are you talking about, dear, let's come to Yan Lan and show me the way, please."

Aunt Wang stood up abruptly, "What's the matter with you, old man, don't you come here to find trouble?"

Aunt Yuan pulled her away, but her eyes were full of vigilance, "May I ask if you two are from Wangu Village?"

Yan's mother teased Yan's father, and said with a smile: "No, we are from the town, we have something to do with Yan Lan, we really didn't come to make trouble."

"What's up?"

Yan's mother knew that Yan's father didn't want to admit that Yan Lan was born by him in front of others, so she didn't dare to speak, and only said that there was something wrong.

Now Aunt Wang and Aunt Yuan felt that something was wrong, "Don't go in."

A passerby saw the situation and rushed to help, and soon drove the Yan family out of Jiahe Village.

The Yan family's father and mother were so angry that they pointed at the people in Jiahe Village and scolded them. The entrance of the village was very lively for a while.

When Aunt Wang came, the Lin family was taking a nap.

It just so happened that there was no need for delivery today, so the three brothers of the Lin family went to the beach with Zhang Moyuan to help out, while Auntie Lin, Aunt Lin and Lin Yan were resting at home.

Father Lin was the first to wake up. He was a light sleeper and had no habit of taking a nap before, so he woke up as soon as Aunt Wang called him.

"Mother, what happened?"

"It's nothing serious, but there are two old men and women who are making trouble at the entrance of the village. They want to find Yan Lan when they come up. I'm here to remind you to be careful."

Father Lin was stunned for a moment, since he came to Jiahe Village, he almost never mentioned that his name was Yan Lan, only Father Lin called him that a few times in the first few years.

The only ones who know his name is Yan Lan are Father Lin and...

Lin Yan had told him before that Father Lin was in a gambling house in the county, and he couldn't get out after signing a death contract, and it was impossible for Aunt Wang not to recognize him.

So if it is ruled out, it can only be...

Father Lin's face turned pale immediately.

"Uncle Lin, what's wrong with you, are you scared?"

Father Lin collected himself, and said unnaturally: "It's nothing, I know."

Aunt Wang didn't think much, and left after reminding him.

Aunt Lin went back to the house absent-mindedly, and Aunt Lin and Lin Yan also got up.

Lin Yan saw Father Lin's appearance and asked, "Father, what's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly, are you feeling unwell?"

Father Lin smiled, "No, just now Aunt Wang said that someone was causing trouble at the entrance of the village, I was frightened."

Lin Yan looked at him suspiciously.
