If she had good parents, Lan ‘Er wouldn’t have suffered so much in the past three years.
Zhou Wencai fanned himself twice and asked curiously, “Doctor Zhang, I heard that Lin Yuelan has the fate of a jinx. Anyone who approaches her will encounter misfortune or disaster. Is that true?”
“Simply nonsense!” Doctor Zhang shouted angrily, “I’ve been Lan ‘Er’s Grandmaster for months. Why am I still so fine? If anything, my body is getting better and better! Who said that Lan ‘Er is a jinx anyway?”
Liu Jiaying immediately nodded and said, “that’s right. Grandpa, you don’t know this, but ever since my brother and I became friends with sister yuelan, Yuelai Inn’s business has been getting better and better, and my brother’s other businesses have been improving too. Little sister Yuelan isn’t a jinx. She’s clearly a Lucky Star. ”
When Doctor Zhang heard Liu Jiaying, he was amused. “You’re an interesting little girl. It’s no wonder even though Lan ‘Er is quite unapproachable, she chooses to befriend you.”
Lan ‘Er looked mischievous and cheery, but she had a very clear heart and mind.
When Liu Jiaying heard Doctor Zhang’s praise, her eyes immediately curved into crescents. She smiled and said, “thank you for the praise, grandfather!” She glanced at Doctor Zhang as he picked the herb. “But, Grandpa, I heard the people outside call you Doctor Zhang, so you must be a doctor. But you said that you are sister Yuelan’s Grandmaster, which means that sister Yuelan is studying medicine with you, right? But,” She reached out and picked up a leaf from the winnowing basket. She picked it up and played with it as she continued, “Why are you Sister Yuelan’s Grandmaster and not master?”
She stared at Doctor Zhang, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Zhou Wencai stood by the side and listened to the old and young pair talk and laugh. He was also interested in the answer to Liu Jiaying’s question.
Doctor Zhang laughed and said, “I’m getting old. I can’t teach Lan ‘Er much. I have a disciple who is still very young. However, my disciple’s whereabouts are unknown, so this old man took Lan ‘Er in on his behalf!”
Upon hearing such an answer, Zhou Wencai raised his brows. ‘There sounds like there’s a secret here. Interesting.’
However, no matter how interesting it was, he would not meddle.
The old doctor and young girl chatted happily in Lin Yuelan’s courtyard.
Lin Sanniu, who was standing outside, heard the laughter coming from inside. His face was filled with anger as he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
They had really gone too far.
This was clearly his eldest daughter’s house, but now these people had locked him, her biological father, out of the door. They had occupied the house and were talking and laughing inside.
Chen Xiaoqing’s face was full of tears, and no other expression could be seen.
…
“Girl, what do you think of these fields?” Lin Yiwei brought Lin Yuelan to the place where the farm plot was at Changping.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “Yes, very good, Grandpa Village Chief. I’ll buy this place.”
Lin Yiwei said, “alright, I’ll tell them now.”
As he spoke, he waved to a thin couple in the distance and said, “Brother and Sister Zhou, come over for a moment.”
The couple was thin, but they were older than Lin Yiwei.
The couple went forward, and the thin woman asked anxiously, “Village Chief, how is it? Are you satisfied?”
The fields were the lifeblood of the farmers. If they were not in urgent need of money, they would not be willing to sell the high-grade fields that they had carefully taken care of for decades.
Lin Yiwei nodded and said, “Brother Zhou, we’ve already confirmed that we’ll buy the five Mus of land. Do you think you can complete the sale today?”
The harvest season was just over, so there was not even a single ear of wheat in the field. Therefore, they didn’t need to wait for any harvesting or planting. The land could be sold just like that.
Hearing Lin Yiwei’s words, the couple looked at each other, their eyes flickering.
“Brother Zhou, is there a problem?” Lin Yiwei asked, puzzled.
Brother Zhou looked a little embarrassed as he said, “Village Chief, can I continue to use this field to plant my crops?”
