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

Although Xie Hongye spoke softly, her attitude was firm.

What she said startled Liu Ming.

"You...you were Lin Fan's sister-in-law?"

They still only regarded Xie Hongye as an ordinary shop assistant, never expecting that she and Lin Fan had this kind of relationship.

Liu Ming chuckled awkwardly, quickly put the money away, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, we didn't mean anything by it. We just missed Lin Fan and wanted to talk to him about some business, we didn't have any malicious intent."

"Since you are his family, we hope you can make an exception."

"Since you don't want to go against Lin Fan's wishes, then how about this: can you give us a clear path, and tell us exactly how we can see Lin Fan?"

Hearing this, Xie Hongye pretended to think and said, "Well, Xiao Fan's usual time at the shop is indeed not fixed, and sometimes he stays for a long time and sometimes for a short time. Even if I agree to deliver it to you, he may leave as soon as I express interest."

“If you really want to see him, there is a way. You can wait for him at the store. He comes almost every day. Of course, sometimes he may come a day or two later due to some unexpected circumstances, but it won’t be too long.”

"It's too late now, so I guess we won't be able to wait any longer. But if you come tomorrow morning and stay until noon, you should be able to see him by the afternoon at the latest."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming's face showed a hint of difficulty.

He'd been waiting in the shop the whole time; putting aside everything else, he couldn't keep up physically.

After all, if you're waiting for someone in someone's shop, they can't possibly serve you good food and drinks. You'll have to sit on a stool almost all day long, and at most, you can get tired of sitting and stand up and walk around.

Moreover, even in this situation, it's only a possibility, not a certainty, that they'll see Lin Fan. He also mentioned that sometimes Lin Fan doesn't come for several days at a time. Are they supposed to wait in the shop for days?

"Miss, you see, we're not young anymore, and we have important things to do. It's really unrealistic for us to wait in your shop every day, and we don't have that much energy. Why don't you think of another way?"

This was the only method Lin Fan gave Xie Hongye.

Xie Hongye, naturally, could not disobey Lin Fan's decision, so she waved her hand and said, "I was just giving you a suggestion, which already goes against what Xiao Fan told me."

"If you don't feel comfortable with it, then please do. As guests, you can stay in the store as long as you want or leave now. I have no right to kick you out, but I won't waste my time on you either. Sorry."

After saying that, Xie Hongye left without saying another word to Liu Ming and the others.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming and his companion opened their mouths, exchanged a final glance, and could only grit their teeth and say, "Boss, why don't we just wait here!"

"This kid is our only hope now. If we can't wait for him to help us, we're finished. So it doesn't matter if we suffer a little grievance."

What else could Liu Ming say? He could only sigh and say helplessly, "Alright, let's wait then. If it's getting late, let's go back and come back tomorrow morning."

"it is good!"

And so, the two of them left.

The next morning, the two of them arrived at the shop early. Without even talking to Xie Hong, they each found a corner, grabbed a chair, and started waiting.

There were no cell phones or tablets in this era, so the two of them found the waiting time extremely boring. They, who didn't usually have any refined hobbies like reading, were forced to go out and buy a few mindless magazines to read.

They waited from morning until noon, not daring to go to lunch at the same time. One of them waited in the shop for the other to eat, and then came back after finishing. By afternoon, Lin Fan was still nowhere to be seen. Liu Ming's back ached from sitting, so he couldn't help but get up and walk towards Xie Hongye again.

"Young lady, I wonder if Boss Lin will be coming today?"

Xie Hongye looked up at Liu Ming, who was in pain, and wanted to laugh, but she remained serious on the surface and said, "I don't know about that, but I regret to inform you that Xiao Fan came by not long after you left yesterday."

"He told me that he's been quite busy these past few days and won't be coming to the store very often. He might not come today, or even tomorrow. Of course, he might come right after you leave, you never know."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming froze on the spot.

He hated Lin Fan with a passion that made his teeth itch.

He even doubted whether it was really such a coincidence that they left and Lin Fan arrived right afterward.

But upon closer reflection, things probably weren't as bad as they imagined. After all, they had stayed in the shop all day and hadn't seen Lin Fan come in, which meant that what the girl said was indeed true.

They do come back sometimes, and sometimes they don't.

"Why don't you come back in a few days and wait for him? He's been quite busy these past few days, and if he doesn't come, you'll have waited for nothing."

Xie Hongye seemed to be very considerate of the two of them.

The two shook their heads somewhat helplessly: "We do have important matters to attend to and need to wait for Boss Lin."

"It would be best if we could meet in the next couple of days. If we really can't wait any longer, then we'll just keep waiting since you're not coming today."

The two were willing to wait, and Xie Hongye didn't say anything.

But he knew that these two people wouldn't be able to see Lin Fan unless they were tortured by him for a few days.

The two had indeed never seen Lin Fan come to the store, but little did they know that Xie Hongye had already relayed the news that the two were waiting in the store to Lin Fan. Lin Fan was fully aware of their whereabouts and would only come to the store after they left.

While they waited, it was absolutely impossible for Lin Fan to meet with them unless he had already decided to.

For the next few days, the two of them came to the store almost every day, waiting from morning until afternoon.

But just as Xie Hongye said, Lin Fan did not appear for three consecutive days.

On the fourth day, just when the two were about to give up from the torment, Lin Fan finally showed up at the shop.

"Nephew Lin!"

"Oh, Lin Xianxie, you've finally arrived!"

"I've been thinking about you for a long time."

Seeing Liu Ming and the other person, Lin Fan couldn't help but show a hint of doubt on his face.

"you are?"

He hesitated for a moment before pretending to suddenly realize something and said, "Is this Uncle Liu? It's been a while, I almost didn't recognize you."
