Chapter 333: Chapter 332 We Wait for Your Return

Shao Meirou had stayed with Lu Zheng for five days, and during that time, she got to know Ye Lin better through their interactions.

Without knowing someone, you can’t understand them; but once familiar, she realized Ye Lin was indeed a good child.

Initially, she had been worried that Ye Lin, being doted on by her family since childhood, might have a bit of a princess temperament, willful and such; but to her surprise, the girl was both understanding and gentle.

Shao Meirou felt her son was always so cold and serious, if he was to find a girlfriend, it should be someone like this, a complement to his personality, right?

Lu Zheng had never been this agitated before.

Considering that his father wouldn’t come home, and he wouldn’t return either, he had agreed to let his mother come over, thinking it would be quite desolate and pitiful for her to spend the New Year alone.

Who would have thought that Ye Lin, who had initially planned to leave, suddenly changed her mind and decided to stay?

Shao Meirou also didn’t dare to be too affectionate with Ye Lin, because she knew that her mother-in-law had quite a few complaints about Ye Lin.

Additionally, concerning her son, she couldn’t recklessly make promises to another girl when she knew he had someone he liked.

After returning to the provincial city, Shao Meirou went to her mother-in-law’s house.

Shao Meirou and Fang Youlan talked for a long time about Lu Zheng’s situation and her encounter with Ye Lin during her stay.

Given the choice between two such girls, Fang Youlan would naturally choose Ye Lin, and the previous grudges did not seem to be a problem anymore.

She even said, "No wonder, after Ye Lin returned from there, she said our Xiaozheng has been corresponding with a girl named Xia Lin! It must be some rumors that have spread; otherwise, why would a girl be so petty?"

Shao Meirou thought it made sense, "Mom, what do you think we should do next? I find Xiaozheng to be exceptionally determined, and I am telling you because I truly feel it’s a difficult situation..."

She had spoken to her father about this; she wasn’t unaware of how much her old father doted on Lu Zheng, he would certainly accommodate him in everything.

But for her son’s lifelong happiness, she couldn’t let him have a day of regret in the future.

Even if he would hate her later, she had to do something to prevent him from taking the wrong path.

Fang Youlan had done such things as breaking up lovers in the past, so there was nothing difficult about it.

However, she obviously couldn’t bring up some of the hidden reasons in front of her daughter-in-law.

"Let’s do this! I still think we should first see what this girl named Xia Lin is like, then plan our approach accordingly!

If she can be persuaded with money, we can completely offer her money, to make her take the initiative to stop interacting with Xiaozheng.

If she doesn’t care about money, then we’ll see! Is there really someone in the world who wants nothing?"

Shao Meirou listened impassively, a hint of mockery crossing her downcast eyes. Had her mother-in-law done the same to break up Lu Pengcheng and that woman back in the day?

After discussing, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started making arrangements separately.

They both felt it was inappropriate for them to send someone else to handle the matter; since they had the address, it was better for them to quietly go there, then return just as quietly after everything was settled.

When Shao Chengzhi heard that Shao Meirou was going to accompany his mother on a trip, he immediately sensed something was not right.

He understood his daughter.

She never dared to look into his eyes when she lied to him.

Piecing this together with what his grandson had mentioned, that he happened upon Ye Yongfeng’s granddaughter, and they got along very well.

The old man fell ill that night, frightening everyone in the household to gather around him.

How could Shao Meirou dare to leave at such a time?

Fang Youlan, being advanced in age herself, couldn’t go either. Besides, it didn’t seem right for a grandmother to handle the situation. It was better for Shao Meirou, the mother, to take action and speak.

After all, if there were to be any blame from Lu Zheng in the future, it should fall on his mother, not her.

The matter had to be postponed temporarily.

Shao Chengzhi’s condition fluctuated, and with only Shao Meirou free, she simply moved in to take care of him.

It was as if Shao Chengzhi had begun to keep her under surveillance.

Liao, the old doctor, was highly respected for his medical skills; when he said the situation was serious, who would dare to question him?

Shao Chengzhi looked out the window, chuckling to himself as he drank his tea, "Dear grandson, your grandpa has made a great sacrifice for you two."

...

Having visited the valley, Lin Chun had fulfilled Lin Aiguo’s wish.

Lin Xia had only allowed the cosmetics store to open, with plans to prepare everything else after the 15th.

So, during the remaining holiday, Lin Chun and Lin Dong either holed up at home watching TV, sleeping until they naturally woke up, and pondering what delicious food to eat at every meal;

or they went out to drink with Jiang Mingqing, Ma Hao, and the others. After spending time together, they had all become quite familiar with each other.

Time always flies by when one least expects it.

Lin Chun prepared to return to his unit before the holiday had completely passed.

By the time Lin Chun was getting into the car to leave, his cheeks and figure had rounded out quite a bit.

Facing departure, Lin Chun and his siblings, Lin Xia among them, felt somewhat sentimental.

Although they knew that it might not be long before Lin Chun would return, the feeling of unease couldn’t be avoided.

Lin Chun comforted them, "You all take care! Wait for me to come back! Then we can be together every day!"

He had been back for quite a few days, yet he felt as though he hadn’t stayed nearly long enough now that it was time to leave.

He could only look forward to the next time he would return and reunite with them.

"Yeah!" Lin Dong nodded vigorously. "Big brother! You take care; we’ll be waiting for your return!"

"Alright!" Lin Chun fought the acidity in his nose as he nodded strongly.

Lin Xia instructed Lin Chun, "Big brother! Take care of your health, and don’t push yourself too hard if you feel unwell!"

"Don’t worry, Xiaoxia! Big brother knows!" Lin Chun took these words to heart as he looked at Lin Qiu, who was quietly wiping her tears with red-rimmed eyes, "Xiaoqiu, don’t cry! Big brother will be back in just over half a year!"

"Yeah!" Xiaoqiu actually didn’t want to cry, but the tears flowed uncontrollably, impossible to fully wipe away.

Lin Aiguo stood behind Lin Xia and the others; he had specifically swapped shifts with someone to send Lin Chun off.

Back then, when Lin Chun had left, it was done covertly, and he was gone for two years!

Today, he felt he must see him off.

"Dad! Take good care of yourself!" Lin Chun looked at Lin Aiguo. In the more than ten days since his return, he really witnessed his change.

He was no longer the man from his memories who would curse or hit at the slightest provocation.

He was no longer the man from his memories who treated his children as if they didn’t matter.

He was willing to give Lin Aiguo a chance, as long as he knew to cherish it.

Lin Aiguo sniffled, his eyes reddening, "Alright! Do your best over there!"

"I definitely will!" Lin Chun embraced Lin Xia and the others. "Wait for my return!"

Finally, Lin Chun boarded the train. As they watched it slowly start to move, Lin Xia and the others took a couple of steps following it.

The tears Lin Aiguo had been holding back until now began to flow.

Turning away, he busied himself wiping them, realizing that he indeed felt a deep affection for these children.

Now, watching Lin Chun leave like this made him incredibly uneasy.

Lin Xia and the rest felt the same, their big brother had come home only to stay for just over ten days. How could that be enough for them?

But they understood.

Where he had gone initially for the job, there was a contract signed, and even if one wanted to quit, there had to be a process.

So, they were prepared to wait patiently.

It took the family a couple of days to recover from Lin Chun’s departure.

Without him in the house, it felt as though something substantial was missing.

But with Lin Chun gone, they still had to carry on with their lives.
