Lin Fan swallowed hard, his large hands already itching to move.

However, perhaps he hugged her too tightly and accidentally touched Lin Shuying's wound. Lin Fan noticed that Lin Shuying's brows furrowed subconsciously, and he subtly moved his right leg outward.

Seeing this, Lin Fan took a deep breath and cursed himself in his heart, thinking, "I'm such a jerk."

Has he never seen a woman before? How can he lack even this much self-control? His wife is still injured; if he were to take advantage of her, he would be worse than an animal.

Lin Shuying seemed to be waiting for Lin Fan's next move, her eyes tightly closed, her eyelids trembling slightly, her breath sweet as orchids.

Lin Fan leaned down, lifted Lin Shuying's red lips, and kissed her fiercely.

A moment later, their lips parted, and Lin Fan looked at Lin Shuying, whose eyes were somewhat glazed, and whispered, "Wife, I really want it."

"But not now, wait until you're better, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuying slowly raised her head and stared intently at Lin Fan.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She pursed her lips and said shyly, "Okay, whatever you say."

"I'll do whatever you want then, even what was played on the radio just now..."

"Gudong~"

Lin Fan swallowed hard, a hint of excitement hidden in his eyes.

Is the one shown on the radio okay?

I can't stand it anymore.

Having lived two lifetimes, I've never been tempted like this before; it's actually a bit embarrassing to admit.

But it's not his fault. His wife was obedient and docile, looking like she was at his mercy. The fact that he was able to resist taking advantage of her showed he had a lot of willpower!

……

A moment later, Lin Fan walked out of Lin Shuying's room looking somewhat disheveled.

Once outside, I saw my brother-in-law and adoptive father chatting in the courtyard.

Two little girls were rolling marbles nearby, their faces beaming with carefree smiles.

Lin Fan walked over and overheard the two talking about his second brother.

“Weihao, don’t blame your parents for being biased. Our second son has suffered so much these past few years, never having had a single good day. Now that we have money, as his father, I really want to make it up to him.”

Zhang Weihao shook his head and said sincerely, "Dad, look at what you're saying. We're family, so let's not be so formal. If it weren't for my second brother supporting this family, it would have fallen apart long ago, and I wouldn't have met such a good wife as Shuhan."

"It's only right that you want to take better care of Second Brother. Besides, Shuhan and I are both able-bodied. We'll work hard to get whatever we want. You don't need to worry that I'll feel uncomfortable."

Lin Desheng sighed deeply, but did not explain further.

He himself was ignored and favored by his parents, so he always hoped to treat his own children equally.

However, with so many people in the family and so few benefits, how can true equality be achieved?

He was afraid that Zhang Weihao would feel uncomfortable because he, as the father-in-law, was treated worse than his own children, since he was an outsider. That's why he deliberately said those things.

"Dad, brother-in-law, what are you talking about? You seem so serious."

Lin Fan stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Zhang Weihao stood up and said, "Xiao Fan is here. Is your wife feeling better?"

“Dad just told me that the money the family has earned recently should be used first to build a new house for my second brother and help him get married. Only any extra money can be used to send Xiuying and the others to school. He told me not to worry about it.”

Lin Fan nodded upon hearing this and said, "Shuying is almost recovered."

"Dad, brother-in-law, you don't need to worry about that. Don't worry, I will find a way to take care of everything, whether it's my second brother building a house or their two daughters going to school. I will definitely not delay anything."

Lin Fan patted his chest and spoke with certainty.

If he can't even handle such a small matter, then he might as well give up.

Only Lin Desheng spoke with some concern: "Third brother, don't force yourself. The two girls are going to school, and we'll definitely have to rent a house in the county town to take care of them, and we'll also have to pay all kinds of tuition fees. It'll be quite expensive."

"Besides, our family needs to make a living, and you and Shuying also have your own lives to live. The money you earn is yours, so how can I let you worry about everything?"

Zhang Weihao nodded in agreement.

“Dad is right, Xiaofan. I know you care about your sister and take care of the family. You don’t want everyone to suffer. But I will find a way to help Xiuying go to school. I’ve earned four or five hundred yuan here and there over the years, and we’ve also earned quite a bit with you recently. We can manage on our own.”

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Alright, Dad, brother-in-law, this is really nothing. Do you think I'm the kind of person who tries to put on a show? I know what I'm doing!"

Hearing the conversation between the three, Lin Shuhan and Liu Chunlian, who had been busy in the kitchen for half a day, also came out with their bowls.

“Weihao, the father of the child, the third son is capable and has his own opinions, so just listen to him.”

Liu Chunlian thought Lin Fan made sense; family members should help each other, otherwise what kind of family are they?

Just like back then, when Lin Fan's wife and daughter fell ill, his eldest sister and his parents took out their savings to treat them. Now that his third brother has made a lot of money, arranging for his niece to go to school is nothing special.

“We’ve spent our whole lives toiling in the fields. We don’t know a single word. When good opportunities to make money come around, we can only watch helplessly. We can’t even do the math for our third son.”

"Although these two girls are girls, they are still family. If we let them study hard in the future, maybe our family can produce two college students."

Liu Chunlian looked at her two granddaughters and spoke with anticipation.

Lin Shu-han also has high hopes for her daughter. The mother and daughter did not discriminate against girls like many people of their generation just because they are girls.

"Mom understands me best. Don't worry, Mom, as long as I'm here, I will never let you suffer any more grievances!"

With his adoptive mother's support, Lin Fan chuckled and solemnly made a promise.

Upon hearing this, everyone refrained from saying anything further and joined in the laughter.

What is family? This is perhaps the meaning of family.

When you encounter difficulties, they can unconditionally trust and help you, support each other, and find the light of family even in a life of hardship.

……

The next morning, following the same routine, he boldly harnessed a mule, gathered snails at home, and set off for the trading alley in the county town.

However, Cheng Dalong's words today made Lin Fan suddenly wary.
