Chapter 993: Chapter 993: Stay for More Days

"Tsk, I’ve been away from home for nearly two months now, not knowing how things are there. When I left, I could wear thin clothes, but now, I’ve already put on a jacket."

Indeed, when she thought about it, she had been away from home for almost two months.

"Everything is fine at home," Ya Molian spoke up.

"After arriving here, Jiang Li inquired around the village. The rice on Manghuang Mountain has all been harvested, and the village has already chosen a patch of mountain land to start digging a pond. Changfeng is now a ’winner of the examination’; your house must be bustling now."

"What?!"

Hearing his words, Lin Caisang was simply stunned.

A ’winner of examination’, in modern terms, that would be like a provincial top scorer. Brother Changfeng actually got the top rank in the entire county? Their house must be extremely lively; the threshold stone must be worn out from all the stepping, right?

But even though it was lively, there must have been quite a number of visitors, right?

"This is truly a joyful event. After this meal, I must hurry back."

She said happily, and began to serve Ya Molian more food, piling all the dishes on the table into his bowl.

"Brother Molian, you eat too, eat up. Oh, by the way, will you go back later, or will you head straight to Shaohua City? You must have many unresolved matters after coming back from there so suddenly, right?"

She asked.

"It’s not a problem, I’m free to come and go. I’ll stay here for a few more days," Ya Molian replied, lifting his hand to gently pat her head.

He couldn’t rest easy leaving her here alone. He would stay a bit longer to handle some matters and deal with certain people before it was too late to go back.

"Oh."

Lin Caisang nodded.

...

Ya Village.

As Lin Caisang had guessed, the Lin Family’s threshold was indeed close to being trampled apart these days.

Relatives who hadn’t visited in ages popped up out of nowhere, all of them flocking into the Lin Family’s courtyard. From dawn till dusk, there was an endless stream of gift-givers.

However, there was one good thing—Lin Laogeng and Lu Qiubo handled it well. Anyone who came with gifts was returned the same, without keeping a single coin; they would drink a cup of tea, and the gifts would be turned back unopened.

Because Yang Lin was pregnant and getting heavier, she either hid in her room or went up to Manghuang Mountain, barely showing her face.

Lin Baiyi did the same, sticking close to his wife wherever she went, ignoring the constant flow of visitors in and out of the house and ensuring he didn’t add to his son’s troubles.

But sometimes, shunning chaos didn’t mean it wouldn’t come knocking.

One day, the Lin Family received several uninvited guests. Seeing who had arrived, Lu Qiubo’s expression soured; she was short of taking a broom to chase them out the door.

However uncomfortable she felt inside, she couldn’t disrespectfully chase away guests—and these guests were...

"Changfeng, stop dawdling. Welcome your maternal grandparents inside," Lin Laogeng, sitting in a wheelchair, sighed and instructed his grandson, who was standing frozen in the courtyard.

"Wife, go tell our clan that we are not entertaining any guests today."

After instructing Lin Changfeng, he beckoned Lu Qiubo over and whispered a few words into her ear.

Today, dealing with these Yang Family members alone, they had to employ all the tactics their household possessed. They dared not entertain any more guests.

Moreover, he didn’t want to completely lose face.
