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

Inside the house, Lin Shuhan had already quietly led the two little girls out, leaving Lin Fan and Lin Shuying alone.

After a long silence, Lin Shuying finally spoke.

She responded to Lin Fan's hug for the first time, slowly but firmly wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

Like the girl back then, she resolutely chose to face the joy in her heart.

"Lin Fan... I've never blamed you, I believe you!"

That short sentence seemed to give Lin Fan boundless strength.

Lin Fan gently bent down, took Lin Shuying's hands in his, and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

……

A short while later, Lin Fan left the house with the bowl in his hand.

My brother-in-law and adoptive father were enjoying the cool air in the courtyard, while my adoptive mother, Lin Shuhan, and the two little girls were in the kitchen preparing dry food such as vegetable dumplings for Lin Fan and the others to take on the road tomorrow.

Lin Fan went into the kitchen, put down the bowl, and left without disturbing them, carrying Qiao'er and Xiuying.

"Uncle, Mom said you're going to the county town to earn money tomorrow, and Xiuying wants to go too!"

The two little girls, one on each side, nestled in Lin Fan's arms, blinking their big eyes as they gazed at him.

Xiuying looked at Lin Fan expectantly and spoke.

She hopes that her loving uncle can satisfy her curiosity and take her to see the county town.

Lin Fan rubbed his chin against the little girl's head and smiled, "Xiuying is still too young to walk far. She'll have to walk to the county town, which will take several hours. Xiuying should stay home and behave herself."

Upon hearing this, the little girl pouted and gave a somewhat unhappy "oh".

Lin Fan laughed and kissed her on the cheek, promising, "Xiuying wants to go to the county town. How about your uncle sends you to study there once he earns some money?"

Upon hearing the word "reading," Xiuying's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again.

She looked at Lin Fan and shook her cute little head.

"do not want!"

“Mom said that it costs a lot of money to go to school in the county town, but Xiuying doesn’t have to spend any money. Xiuying wants to help her uncle earn money.”

Lin Fan was immediately amused by the little girl, but at the same time, he did feel a little sorry for her.

At an age when they should be carefree, innocent, and adorable, they already know how to worry about their families.

I will definitely send my two little girls to school in the future, so that they will no longer have to worry about the family's livelihood and burdens.

……

After sending the two little girls back to their rooms, everyone went back to their rooms to rest later that evening.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Lin Fan was awakened by a commotion in the courtyard.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked up at the sky, and estimated that it was only five or six o'clock, which wasn't too late. So he stretched, got out of bed, and didn't go back to sleep.

He casually threw on a coat and went outside, where he found his older sister cursing something, while his brother-in-law tried to persuade her.

"Big sister, brother-in-law, what's wrong?"

Lin Fan tightened his coat and stepped forward to ask, puzzled.

When Lin Fan asked, the eldest sister huffed and puffed, "They're not human, they're the old couple from your brother-in-law's family."

"My brother-in-law and I were just discussing going back to get a couple of changes of clothes, but guess what? All the valuables in the house had been taken!"

Lin Fan was stunned.

"It was...moved? Stolen?"

He was momentarily stunned. What did the theft of his belongings have to do with the Zhang couple?

The older sister shook her head and said angrily, "Either the lock was stolen and it's still intact, or his parents moved it away."

"When the new house was built, they were given a key to the door lock. Only they, besides us, could open it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan finally understood what was going on.

He looked at his brother-in-law and elder sister with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, unsure of how to comfort them.

How could any parents in this world be so shameless?

Don't these two know what shame is? They can do such a shameless thing. Just because they didn't give you the 500 yuan for repairing the new house, they actually stole things from your house while your son and daughter-in-law were not around.

That's right, Lin Fan thought this was stealing.

What's wrong with being a family? Does being a family mean you can take other people's things without their permission?

"Okay, don't be angry. Let's just move it. I'll buy a new one once I've made some money."

Zhang Weihao gently patted Lin Shuhan's back, coaxing her.

He didn't feel much emotional fluctuation when he did such a thing to his parents; he felt neither angry nor surprised.

After all, he had long since become accustomed to the unfair treatment and prejudice he had suffered over the years.

Besides, he, as the son, knows best what kind of people those two are.

Anyway, they bought the stuff, so let them move it if they want. As long as they didn't move the house, that's fine.

In this way, I won't owe them anything. If the elderly couple gets seriously ill or their health deteriorates in the future, I, as their son, will contribute some money to support them in their old age and see them off in their final days. This will be considered fulfilling my final filial piety and responsibility.

As for other things, he didn't want to care, and he couldn't care less!

But after all, they are his own parents, Zhang Weihao comforted himself with that thought, though he still looked somewhat disappointed.

Lin Fan stepped forward, patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder, and said softly, "Brother-in-law, take it easy."

"You're right. We can just buy more of these things later. It's not a big deal. Don't take it to heart, sis. Try to think more positively."

"Once we make a fortune selling snails, we'll buy you even better ones. Then they'll only be able to envy us. Oh, and you should change the locks on your doors!"

Lin Shuhan snorted, "Of course we'll change it. If he dares to barge into my house again after we change it, I'll break his legs!"

After a couple more words of argument, the matter was finally settled.

Back inside, after a quick wash and tidying up, the family gathered together for breakfast.

After breakfast, the three of them decided to set off early today, since someone was waiting for them at the agreed place to deliver the snails. It was their first time doing business, so they wanted to arrive early to leave a good impression.

The three of them first took the snails out of the water tank. After spitting out the sand overnight, the snails were much cleaner, both inside and out.

After draining the water, the three of them each carried a basket, put the snails in it, covered them with some grass, and set off.

There were a total of 38 jin (14 catties), which is close to 40 jin (20 kg) of snails. Each of the three people carried a little over 10 jin (5 kg), which was not too heavy for them, who were used to physical labor.

It took us more than two hours to travel more than 20 kilometers to the county town. We finally arrived at the guesthouse around 9:30 a.m.
