When Shen Lin said this, it was as light as the willow fluff that danced through the air in spring, as if a gentle breeze could make it disappear without a trace.

But in Yang Fan’s eyes, there was scorn as he looked at this scrawny fellow.

Not to mention, he really embodied the essence of a petty person.

“Go on, have a drink with your Uncle Shen!”

Zhou Wenhui, holding a basket of vegetables, suddenly walked out of the kitchen and instructed Yang Fan with a smile.

Yang Fan’s gaze turned dull and his neck stiff as he slowly turned to look at Zhou Wenhui.

Was this woman crazy?

Meeting his incredulous gaze, Zhou Wenhui chuckled and gave Yang Fan a sly wink.

Yang Fan was stunned for a moment.

What did that mean?

Keeping a mysterious and faint smile on her lips, Zhou Wenhui nodded at Yang Fan again.

Yang Fan realized that his mischievous Little Mother was up to no good again, but the thought of having to accompany Shen Lin for a drink truly turned his stomach.

Not just drinking, but even looking at that donkey-ball-black face of his was uncomfortable.

Not beating this old geezer to death was already a display of his Buddha-like tolerance, let alone drinking with him.

Impossible!

“Fanzi, come over here, your mom has asked,” Shen Lin said with a sleazy smile, waving at Yang Fan, “Let’s use today’s drink to discuss past matters.

There’s no grudge we can’t get past, a smile can settle all—simple.”

Yang Fan coldly glanced at Shen Lin, “Old man, everything in my house is poisonous, be careful when you eat!”

Leaving those words behind, Yang Fan turned and left.

Regardless of whatever bad idea Zhou Wenhui had in mind, he did not want to cooperate today.

“Fanzi, what are you doing?” Zhou Wenhui shouted somewhat angrily.

But Yang Fan had already strode out of the house, and all she could do was awkwardly say to Shen Lin, “Old Shen, don’t blame him.

The boy is just hot-tempered.

Besides, the previous issues were indeed quite serious.”

Shen Lin’s initially annoyed expression cleared instantly after hearing Zhou Wenhui’s words, “It’s understandable, young people are naturally hot-tempered.

My own son is quite unmanageable too, so stubborn.

In comparison, Fanzi is still better.”

“How about this: if a good project comes along in the village, I’ll find a few for Fanzi, let him earn a bit more.

There’s no ice that can’t be melted, it all depends on whether we are willing!”

Zhou Wenhui asked with surprise on her face, “Really?

Oh, that would be lovely.”

“Now, don’t busy yourself anymore, come have a drink with me.

You surely can’t let me drink alone, right?” Shen Lin’s sleazy eyes roamed over Zhou Wenhui’s attractive figure from behind his glasses, pointing at the small stool next to him.

“You go ahead and drink, I still need to get dinner ready.

I’ll join you for a proper drink later,” Zhou Wenhui said with a flirtatious twist of her ample waist.

Her movement utterly enchanted Shen Lin, almost making him lose his soul.

He immediately said with a broad smile, “Alright, alright, you go ahead and busyness yourself, but make sure you join me later.

If I don’t drink to my heart’s content today, I’m not leaving.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep you entertained,” Zhou Wenhui said with a coquettish laugh.

Yang Fan left the house and headed straight for Fu Xuebing’s house.

He wasn’t sure if Li Jia had delivered the medicinal herbs, but he hadn’t even lent money to Li Jia yet.

He also wanted to see if he had a chance to be alone with Li Jia to finish what they hadn’t completed that morning.

This kind of unfinished business hung over him like a hook, randomly catching his thoughts, and he kept feeling an impulsive urge.

As he walked past the large old house owned by his family, Yang Fan saw two figures chatting secretly in the vegetable garden.

He recognized them immediately by their silhouettes as his sister-in-law Ye Tong and Li Jia.

Yang Fan lightened his steps and tiptoed over.

“Did Aunt Wenhui really get involved with that bastard Shen Lin?”

“No, where did you hear such rumors?

How could my little mother ever consider Shen Lin?

Besides, doesn’t Shen have a wife?

Our family would never do such disgraceful things!”

“Old Fu mentioned it.

Who else could I have heard it from?

He’s been absent-minded these days, not sure what he’s up to, and he even suddenly took me to the town to buy a dress this afternoon.

On the way, he brought up the topic and said stuff like ‘looks can be deceiving’ about Aunt Wenhui.”

Hearing this, Ye Tong became incensed and furiously said, “Why does nothing good ever come out of your Old Fu’s mouth?

Did he tell you where he heard it?”

“He didn’t say, but the way he talked, it seemed like he might have heard it directly from Shen Lin,” Li Jia whispered.

“Although it’s not really appropriate for me to say, Old Fu really isn’t presenting himself well these days.”

“Little Jia, I think you should remind him when you have time to keep away from those shady characters,” Ye Tong advised in a low voice.

“It’s okay if his business failed, money can be slowly earned back, but if he gets involved in dirty business, it’s truly hard to get out.”

Li Jia nodded thoughtfully and crunched on a tender cucumber a couple of times, then murmured sadly, “I wish I could say something, but I’m anxious and just can’t find the words — I’m helpless.”

She shook her head and said, “Forget about it, let’s not talk about this.

Has Fanzi returned home yet?”

“I don’t know, but he should be back soon; it’s almost dark,” Ye Tong said.

“Oh,” Li Jia responded with a nod, then suddenly lowered her voice and asked, “When do you and Fanzi plan on doing it?”

“Doing what?” Ye Tong asked in surprise.

“Getting married, what else?” Li Jia said.

“What are you talking about, we’re not doing anything like that!

I’m his sister-in-law, not his girlfriend!” Ye Tong exclaimed urgently.

“Sister Ye, I couldn’t help but speak my mind again.

Everyone in the village says that you’re still with the Yang Family because you’ve already slept with Fanzi.

Changing a husband but not a little mother and all that.

If you haven’t, you better do it soon.

If this rumor spreads for too long, it’ll be hard for you to remarry,” Li Jia whispered.

Yang Fan, overhearing this conversation, suddenly felt annoyed.

This Li Jia really talks too much — why bring that up at all?

Ye Tong shook her head: “I can’t stop people’s mouths, but there’s nothing between Fanzi and me, and I’m not thinking about remarrying yet.”

“Then you should…

Ah, ghost!” Li Jia suddenly looked up, her face drained of color, and screamed at the top of her lungs.
