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

A warm, rough texture came through.

Lin Shuying was extremely tense, like a taut string.

Under the nurse's guidance, Lin Fan gradually pressed harder.

Lin Shuying's calves were smooth and delicate, with a slight coolness to the touch, and felt like tender tofu.

Lin Fan's hands trembled as he pressed the buttons.

The nurse glanced at Lin Fan, whose hands were trembling, and then at Lin Shuying, whose muscles were tense. Her eyes gradually became suspicious.

"no……"

Are you really husband and wife?

"This little girl is your child, isn't she? You already have a child, how could you..."

The nurse didn't say it explicitly, but everyone clearly understood what she meant.

For a couple with children who are four or five years old, let alone massaging with one leg bare, they must have tried countless times even more intimate things.

The young couple in front of me were quite different; the man's eyes were darting around, and his hands were trembling nervously, as if he were meeting a woman for the first time.

The woman blushed deeply with embarrassment, her legs stiffening taut with nervousness. To an outsider, they would have looked like a young couple experiencing their first sexual encounter.

"Oh dear... Nurse, you've misunderstood. His father and I arranged their marriage, how could they not be husband and wife?"

"Perhaps they are both shy, and we feel a little embarrassed standing here."

Seeing that the two were silent with stiff expressions, Liu Chunlian was afraid that something might go wrong, so she quickly put on a smile and explained.

The nurse shook her head, somewhat amused.

"alright."

"That's a good massage. Keep doing it this way. After you're discharged, just massage for another two weeks and you should be fine!"

"Alright, I'm leaving now. Remember to apply the medicine after you're done!"

After saying that, the nurse left with a smile.

Liu Chunlian glanced at the two of them helplessly, picked up Qiao'er, and walked out of the ward, leaving the two of them alone.

Neither Lin Fan nor Lin Shuying spoke.

One had their head down, and the other turned their head away; neither dared to look at the other.

After a while, they had already pinched the groin area.

After completing the last step, Lin Fan immediately stood up and stammered, "The medicine...you should rest well after applying the medicine."

"If you... if you're not used to it, I'll help you press it next time you put your pants on, and Mom will apply the medicine."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuying suddenly turned around and stared intently at Lin Fan.

His eyes were somewhat unfocused...

Does he not like himself?

Is he not even willing to apply medicine to himself?

The naive Lin Shuying subconsciously assumed that Lin Fan's refusal was because he disliked her.

Thinking of Lin Fan's meticulous care for her these past few days, and his gentle actions and guilty look in his eyes.

Lin Shuying suddenly felt lost.

He said he would make it up to the mother and daughter, and Lin Fan's behavior these past two days has indeed been impeccable.

This allowed Lin Shuying to finally experience the feeling of being loved for the first time through Lin Fan.

But now, looking at Lin Fan sitting on the edge of the bed, not even glancing at her, like a puppet.

Lin Shuying was confused.

Does he really love himself?

Perhaps... he did all this simply out of conscience, out of guilt towards the mother and daughter.

Perhaps, from childhood to adulthood, Lin Fan has never loved her.

Indeed, Lin Fan should have been the young master of a wealthy family in the city, with a rich background and outstanding appearance.

And what about herself? She was just a country bumpkin. He hated her and loathed this family.

Otherwise, for some unknown reason, Lin Fan has changed a lot compared to before.

But Lin Shuying knew in her heart that no matter how much a person changes, they will not suddenly fall in love with someone they don't love.

Looking back on the past, and recalling the years of marriage, Lin Fan had never touched her except for that one time when she was drunk. In Lin Fan's eyes, she was just like air, dispensable.

All these signs indicate that perhaps Lin Fan never loved her from the beginning, and that their marriage was simply because their parents wanted them to get married, nothing more.

He may have changed; he has realized that over the years, he has let himself and Qiao'er down.

So he tried to make amends, striving to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and father.

However, he still doesn't love himself.

He did everything simply to be true to his conscience, and out of guilt towards them.

Ironically, these past few days, she had been fantasizing that Lin Fan loved her, but that this love had come too late. However, as long as he loved her, she could accept waiting no matter how long it took.

But now...

Looking at Lin Fan, who was blankly staring and mechanically repeating the kneading motion with his hands.

Lin Shuying felt a deep sadness in her heart, and even the feeling of shyness disappeared.

Perhaps from beginning to end, what she believed to be Lin Fan's love was just a pipe dream.

That's true. I'm a mother now, so why am I still fantasizing about such unrealistic things like a teenage girl?

Lin Shuying stared blankly at the pure white ceiling of the ward.

Before I knew it, the medicine was all applied.

Lin Fan thoughtfully pulled the blanket down to cover Lin Shuying, and then called Liu Chunlian, who was outside the door, in!

"mom!"

"How was it? Finished the massage?"

"Oh no, Mom, did the doctor say when we can be discharged?"

Lin Fan asked softly.

Liu Chunlian nodded and said, "The doctor said that she can be discharged tomorrow. Qiao'er's fever is not a serious illness. As for Shuying, the doctor said that as long as she takes the medicine home, changes it on time every day, and disinfects it, she will get better slowly. There is no difference between being in the hospital and at home."

Hospitalization costs a lot of money, and the hospital is also considering the family's situation. It's clear that Lin Fan's family is not well-off, so it's better to be discharged as soon as possible. As long as the patient is not seriously ill, there is no need to continue to stay in the hospital, which would be a waste of money.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan nodded and said, "That's fine. It's more convenient to live at home, so I don't have to go back and forth between home and the hospital every day."

Lin Fan said this, but in his heart he was planning to find time to get himself a bicycle and come to the county town more often.

After all, these days, making money mainly depends on information asymmetry.

Staying in a closed and backward village and wanting to make big money is impossible, even if a god came. Only in the county town can you find a bigger platform and more opportunities.

"Third brother, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Liu Chunlian looked at Lin Fan, then suddenly hesitated before speaking.

Seeing this, Lin Fan quickly said, "Mom, what is it? You're my mom, why are you being so formal with me? I'll agree to anything, just tell me."

Liu Chunlian forced a smile and said with difficulty, "If it's possible, your father and I would like to move in with you."

Seemingly afraid that Lin Fan might misunderstand something, Liu Chunlian quickly explained, "Of course, don't worry. After we move there, your dad and I will just need a place to live. You won't have to worry about food or drink, and we won't be a burden to you."

"What do you think? If that doesn't work, your dad and I will think of another way, like letting you stay at your older sister's place."
