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

The next day, early morning!

Lin Shuying opened her eyes and saw Lin Fan sitting beside her, his head resting on her arm, still fast asleep.

She stared at Lin Fan's handsome profile, recalling everything that had happened yesterday, and was momentarily lost in thought.

Lin Fan was actually born with a handsome appearance.

He was not yet twenty years old. His skin was not very fair, but it was clean and neat. He had a short, neat haircut, a thin face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and very handsome features.

When Lin Fan was adopted by the Lin family, Lin Shuying was only four years old.

They grew up together and can be considered childhood sweethearts!

Lin Shuying had a crush on her handsome older brother Lin Fan since she was very young. At that time, Lin Fan was sensible and obedient and knew how to take care of the family.

Four years ago, when her parents said they wanted to marry her off to Lin Fan, Lin Shuying was secretly delighted for a long time.

These days, almost every family has four or five children. Some even adopt, or give away children they can't afford to raise themselves to relatives.

Therefore, it is very common for such relationships to become even closer, but for people to live their own lives behind closed doors.

There's nothing wrong with marrying the older brother you grew up with, especially since there's no blood relation between them.

But I don't know when it started, Lin Fan changed.

He began to become indifferent, irritable, and no longer liked his home.

After they got married, Lin Fan only touched her once.

That day marked the first time her biological parents kicked him out of their home.

Lin Fan came home drunk and took her roughly.

That night, for the first time, Lin Shuying felt that in Lin Fan's heart she was just an uncared-for object, like a broom or a teacup in the house.

Later, she became pregnant and gave birth to Qiao'er.

Lin Fan is spending less and less time at home these days.

He didn't care about Qiao'er or himself, and the two became increasingly estranged, with the only sound being the occasional sound of Lin Fan opening the door when he returned home late at night.

When Qiao'er first fell ill, she begged him to take care of her, but all she received in response was Lin Fan's indifferent and cold gaze and heartless back.

When the family ran out of food, she begged him to help Qiao'er borrow some, but all she got in return was, "If you can't support her, why did you give birth to her in the first place?"

When his parents' old house collapsed due to rain, they asked him to help, but he said, "I am not a member of the Lin family," and then stood by indifferently.

Over the years, one thing after another has gradually worn away all of Lin Shuying's expectations for Lin Fan.

She knew she had no expectations of Lin Fan anymore, and she knew that in this life, she could only rely on herself!

……

In a daze, Qiao'er beside me uttered a soft murmur, sleeping soundly, and twisted her body slightly.

Lin Fan slowly woke up from his sleep. Their eyes met, and they remained silent.

After a long silence, Lin Shuying looked at Lin Fan and softly uttered two words: "Thank you!"

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes dimmed.

He didn't say anything, but silently stood up and took out two warm roasted sweet potatoes from his pocket.

As Lin Fan carefully peeled off the golden-brown skin of the sweet potato, he said softly, "I roasted these myself outside over a fire last night."

"I know you like this, but outside the county hospital, they only sell porridge and steamed buns, not roasted sweet potatoes. It's a bit cold, but you'll have to make do with this!"

After peeling the sweet potato, Lin Fan held it to Lin Shuying's lips.

Lin Shuying lowered her head slightly, looking at the black ash on Lin Fan's fingers, and suddenly said softly, "I'll find a way to pay you back for the hospital bill... Thank you!"

The ward fell silent for a moment!

Lin Fan took a deep breath, got up, and pulled a box of bagged milk from under the bed.

Then she quietly walked to the side, poured a bowl of hot water from the thermos in the ward into a large bowl, and put the milk in it.

At the same time, she said softly, "The doctor said that you are very weak, malnourished, and somewhat anemic. In addition to receiving more intravenous nutrition in the hospital, you should eat more good food to supplement your nutrition!"

"I bought this at the store last night. I'll drink two packets every day from now on!"

These days, boxes of bagged milk are a novel and rare item. A box costs seven yuan, and no one in the whole village has ever seen anyone drink it. Only wealthy people in the city would occasionally buy it.

Lin Shuying watched quietly as Lin Fan heated the milk, poured it into a bowl, picked up a small spoon, and stood by the bedside with the bowl in his hand.

“I know I have wronged you and your child before. I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a husband and father.”

"I used to be very naive and immature."

"I can't distinguish what is worth cherishing, nor can I distinguish who is worth my care!"

"Now I understand. I don't know if this change will bring you any hope. I don't expect you and your daughter to forgive me right now. I just ask that you give me a chance to make amends!"

As Lin Fan spoke, he scooped a spoonful of milk from the bowl and brought it to Lin Shuying's lips. His movements were very gentle and tender, and his eyes seemed to sparkle like stars. It was a sincerity that Lin Shuying had never seen before.

Lin Shuying stared blankly at the scene, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Lin Fan quickly added, "I know, it might be a bit sudden for me to say this."

"I know that words carry little weight, but for the rest of my life, I will prove what I have said with my actions."

"You are my wife, and Qiao'er is my child. I only hope that you can give me a chance to prove myself, okay?"

Lin Shuying remained silent for a long time before slightly parting her somewhat haggard lips.

As the milk, with its rich, creamy flavor, entered his mouth, Lin Fan smiled, a very happy smile.

Outside the window, the thin mist slowly dissipated, and the first rays of morning sunlight finally pierced through the window cracks, squeezing into the room and shining on Lin Fan, who was bending over with gentle movements.

……

At noon, Qiao'er woke up.

She opened her eyes and saw Lin Fan standing in front of her. Her small eyes showed undisguised happiness, as well as a little bit of trepidation.

"dad……"

Qiao'er slightly parted her chapped lips and subconsciously called out!

Lin Fan, who was carefully sitting by the hospital bed, rubbing the clothes Lin Shuying had changed out of, stopped what he was doing upon hearing this.

Hearing that familiar and warm call, Lin Fan felt that the softest part of his heart had been deeply touched.

He quickly stood up, hastily wiped the water off his clothes and hands, and gave a warm smile. He gently reached out and took his daughter's small hand, murmuring, "Qiao'er, Daddy's here, Daddy's here."

Qiao'er looked at her father, who seemed different from before, and was momentarily dazed. Her little head didn't understand many things yet, but she felt that her father's smile suddenly made her feel much more at ease.

At the same time, the ward door was suddenly pushed open.

A hunched, thin figure with a dark complexion poked its head out and peered into the ward.

On that honest, wrinkled old face, there was a hint of unease and worry.
