After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

The two gazed deeply into each other's eyes, and a feeling of trust quietly began to grow in their hearts.

Seeing this, the Xie family couple and their second brother and sister-in-law also showed expressions of relief, and were somewhat envious of the couple's situation.

……

With Lin Fan's matter resolved, it's time to get down to business.

"Xiaolin, how's the renovation of the new store going?"

Inside the tailor shop, Xie Yuan looked at Lin Fan and asked with a smile.

Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Xie, I've already asked someone to take care of the renovation. It won't be long before it's finished, and then we can start selling there."

"Uncle Xie, how's the fur coat making going? Have you stocked up yet?"

"Don't worry, as per your request, we've completely put aside our other work and the three of us are working day and night to finish the job. We believe that on the opening day, we'll be able to offer a lot of furs at a discount to celebrate the new store opening."

With everyone's assurances, Lin Fan nodded in relief.

Then Lin Fan looked at his second brother, Lin Zhi, and asked, "Second brother, I was just about to ask, what have you thought about your sister's matter?"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, the Xie family members standing nearby showed expressions of confusion.

"Sister? Kobayashi, you mean sister? We didn't hear wrong, did we? Didn't you say Ash doesn't have a sister?"

Lin Zhi's family background was naturally explained in detail to the Xie family.

They all knew that, strictly speaking, Lin Zhi should be considered Lin Fan's cousin, and the only sister they could count was Lin Shuying, who was standing in front of them.

However, if Lin Fan's so-called sister was Lin Shuying, he certainly wouldn't have asked that question. Clearly, this so-called sister is someone else entirely.

"Is such that……"

Lin Fan repeated what Lin Shuying had told him to the Xie family members.

Now that Lin Zhi and Xie Hongye are engaged, their families are practically the closest of relatives, so there's no need to hide it.

After Lin Fan finished speaking, everyone around looked at Lin Zhi with some surprise. Xie Hongye asked worriedly, "What are you thinking? Do you want to go see your sister?"

Lin Zhi hesitated for a moment, scratched his head as he looked at the concerned crowd around him, and said, "I don't know what to do either."

“I always thought my sister was dead. I never imagined she was still alive. I want to see her, but I’m afraid that after all these years, we’ve become like strangers, connected only by a thin layer of blood. What’s the point of that?”

Everyone understood the meaning behind Lin Zhi's words.

The fear is that there is no longer any affection between the two, only a nominal blood relation. If they were to meet in that case, it would only cause unnecessary trouble and would be meaningless.

After all, they have a precedent to learn from.

Lin Fan and the Ye family were only related by blood, but everyone saw how things turned out in the end.

"Second brother, if you can't make up your mind, I have a suggestion for you."

Just as Lin Zhi was hesitating, Lin Fan suddenly spoke up.

Lin Zhi turned to look at Lin Fan, nodded and said, "Xiao Fan, just say what you have to say. Your second brother believes in you."

Lin Fan organized his thoughts and suggested, "Actually, no matter what, she is still your own sister, so you should go and see her."

“If you two have truly become estranged and there’s no need to rebuild your relationship, then it’s not too late for us to come back.”

"But if she still cares about you as her brother, then we still need to go and see her in person. After all, she is your only remaining blood relative in the world. You haven't fulfilled your responsibilities as a brother over the years, and you already owe her something."

Lin Fan's words struck a chord with Lin Zhi.

Especially the last sentence, when he thought of the little sister who used to follow him around calling him "brother," Lin Zhi felt a pang of sadness.

As her older brother, I truly feel indebted to her; if possible, I should make it up to her.

"Okay, then I'll go and see it as you say. My parents said you have to come with me. I don't know if you have time?"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Of course we do. I don't need to sell anything at the store right now; Uncle Xie and Aunt Xie can look after it. The new store is also under renovation, so we don't need to help there either. We can take advantage of this break to go there."

The timing was quite coincidental; it just so happened that Lin Fan was off-peak during his busy period, giving him some free time.

Lin Fan understood why his parents wanted him to go as well. They simply thought he was more reliable and could look out for Lin Zhi. After all, Lin Zhi was too honest and didn't understand many things, so they wanted him to go and oversee things.

"Alright, then thank you very much, Second Brother!"

Just then, Lin Shuying, who was standing to the side, suddenly said, "Honey, I want to go too."

Hearing Lin Shuying's words, Lin Fan looked at her with some surprise and asked with a smile, "Why do you want to go too?"

Lin Shuying thought for a moment and said, "After all, Second Brother's sister is a girl, so there may be many things she can't say to you. But if I go, I might be able to have a lot in common with her, and she'll be more likely to confide in me about her thoughts."

Lin Zhi said with some concern, "Little sister, maybe you shouldn't go. After all, we're going to the neighboring county, and we'll definitely be staying for a few days. We won't be back for a while."

"You've only recently recovered, so it's not a good time for you to travel far."

Hearing Lin Zhi's words, Lin Shuying stubbornly replied, "Second brother, you are also the pillar of our family. How could I possibly abandon you when you encounter trouble?"

“My injuries have long since healed, and I’m in good health now. I can travel far without any problem. Please let me go. Even if my parents find out, they will agree.”

Before Lin Zhi could even speak, Lin Fan made the decision.

“Alright, let’s go together then. Second brother, Shuying is right. After all, your sister is a girl, and there may be some things she can’t say to us, but she’s willing to talk to Shuying. Let’s go together and take a look, so we can look out for each other.”

Hearing that both of them said so, Lin Zhi could only nod helplessly.

"Alright, let's go together then. Xiao Fan, please take good care of your little sister, lest something goes wrong on the way, or your second brother will feel uneasy!"

Xie Hongye, standing to the side, showed a hint of regret on her face upon seeing this.

Logically speaking, as Lin Zhi's fiancée, she would be more suitable to go than Lin Shuying, but unfortunately, there are still many things to do at the store, and she simply cannot leave him, so she is destined to miss Lin Zhi's family visit this time.
