The good show ended, and everyone turned away as soon as they heard Ye Linlin’s words, but this matter would probably be gossiped about for days.
“Village Chief, thank you for coming so late. Let my brother take you back.”
“No need, I’ve been walking this road for decades, I won’t get lost. Girl, if that second girl from the Bai family doesn’t pay back the money, don’t call the police first, tell me, I’ll definitely help you get it back. After all, going to jail isn’t something to be proud of, our village can’t afford to lose face like that.”
Ye Linlin nodded. Qiao Zhengping helped her get the IOU, and she didn’t refuse this small request.
“No problem, I’ll listen to you.”
“Linlin, how could you agree to break off the engagement? This way, even if there was nothing, it will become something.”
Ye Cheng went to see the village chief off. As soon as Liu Xihong saw that everyone had dispersed, she quickly grabbed Ye Linlin and asked.
Ye Linlin’s expression was a little awkward. She knew that Liu Xihong was talking about her and Su Chenhuai, but the problem was that there was indeed something between them.
“Mom and Dad, this matter can’t be explained in a few words, let’s talk about it when we get home. Brother Su, it’s so late, why don’t you come back with us first.”
The group returned to the Ye’s house together. As soon as they entered the house and turned on the lights, Ye Cheng also came back.
“Linlin, Xiao Su, what exactly is going on? Tell me! Don’t try to fool me with that stuff from earlier.”
This time it was Ye Quangui who spoke, his face looking a bit serious under the dim light. Ye Cheng next to him also had a look of inquiry on his face.
Ye Linlin guessed that Ye Cheng might be suspicious, but she didn’t expect the original owner’s father to be so perceptive.
“Dad, why are you asking that? Didn’t we just say? Brother Su fainted, and I happened to see him, so I dragged him to the broken house to rest.”
Ye Linlin pretended not to understand Ye Quangui’s words and answered perfunctorily.
“Hmph! You left much earlier than Xiao Su, how could you have met him on the road? Also, there’s a button on the hem of your clothes that’s buttoned wrong.”
Following Ye Quangui’s gaze, Ye Linlin looked down and saw that there was indeed a button buttoned wrong. Fortunately, the hem of her shirt was tucked into her pants, and the wrongly buttoned position was not very obvious, so no one noticed.
After thinking about it, she didn’t continue to hide it and told them everything about how Bai Ni instigated her to drug Su Chenhuai, and how Bai Ni designed to ruin her reputation and drug her instead.
“Uncle and Auntie, I am willing to take responsibility for this matter, I will marry her.”
Before the Ye family could say anything after hearing Ye Linlin’s words, Su Chenhuai stated his intention.
The room was silent for a few seconds, with only the sound of crickets outside the house.
“Things have come to this, there’s no other way. Since you like Xiao Su, and Xiao Su is willing to take responsibility, then let’s pick a day to register the marriage.”
At some point, Ye Quangui lit a dry tobacco pipe, took two heavy puffs, and his voice was a bit hoarse.
Ye Linlin had a headache. Su Chenhuai was just a stranger to her, but the two of them had the most intimate relationship. Most importantly, she knew that she was pregnant after this!
In the novel, the original owner fell and bled two months later, only to find out that she was pregnant. The fall caused her to lose the child and also injured her body, making her unable to have children again.
Ye Linlin didn’t want to deprive this life of its right to come into the world.
She had the ability to raise him, but she couldn’t give him a father’s love. In her previous life, she was an orphan and knew too well the pain of lacking fatherly and motherly love. She didn’t want her child to endure this kind of torment, especially in this era, a child of unknown origin would have to endure a lot of gossip.
Ye Linlin looked at the man with broad shoulders in front of her and decided to marry him after thinking about it.
“Since Brother Su is willing to marry me, I will definitely live a good life with him. Mom and Dad, don’t worry.”
Ye Linlin imitated the original owner and acted coquettishly, hugging her mother’s arm. Liu Xihong patted the hand that Ye Linlin was using to hug her.
“Alright, don’t act like a child. Mom knows, you don’t like that Wang Junbao, it’s good to break it off. This time you’ve finally found someone you like.”
Ye Cheng’s mood was a bit complicated at the moment. He understood Su Chenhuai’s character. In his opinion, his sister marrying Su Chenhuai was a hundred times better than marrying Wang Junbao. But thinking of Su Chenhuai’s health, he was a bit worried. After hesitating for a few seconds, he still spoke.
“Chenhuai, have you had a checkup since you were discharged from the army? Have you had this kind of fainting situation before?”
“I’ve had two checkups, but my body hasn’t fully recovered. I haven’t fainted before.”
Su Chenhuai was shot by multiple bullets during a mission to save a chief. The most dangerous one was only two centimeters away from his heart. The chief found him one of the best doctors in the country to perform the surgery, which saved his life, but the postoperative recovery was not very good, and his body had been very weak.
“My body was injured before and hasn’t recovered well. I didn’t think it through just now. If you mind, you can refuse.”
Su Chenhuai gave the right to choose to Ye Linlin.
Hearing Su Chenhuai’s words, a few traces of hesitation also appeared on the faces of Ye’s parents. However, Ye Linlin was not worried about his health at all, because she knew that the heroine would save him later.
“Brother Su, it’s okay, I don’t mind. You fainted tonight maybe because of the medicine. I will help you find good doctors in the future, and your body can definitely be nursed back to health.”
Hearing Ye Linlin’s words, Su Chenhuai’s expression remained the same, but his heart was stirred up.
The few of them discussed until it was late at night, and Su Chenhuai had to squeeze in with Ye Cheng.
After taking a shower, Ye Linlin lay on the bed, still feeling that the events of the day were too bizarre. Could it be her dream? Would she wake up tomorrow morning and return to that spacious and bright but cold home?
But everything in front of her was too real, making it impossible for Ye Linlin to deceive herself.
Ye Linlin touched her flat abdomen with her hand, a small life was about to come here. Since she decided to keep the child, she had to give the child good living conditions, and she should also consider doing something to make money.
Just as she was planning how to make money, Ye Linlin suddenly felt a heat in her nose, and a few drops of blood slid down her cheeks onto the pillow.
Ye Linlin quickly covered her nose with her hand and looked for paper with her head up. After finally stopping the bleeding, she suddenly noticed that the birthmark on the tiger’s mouth of her right hand was glowing.
Unconsciously stroking the birthmark, with a flash of white light, Ye Linlin disappeared into the room out of thin air.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Ye Linlin found herself standing in a small courtyard.
Beside her was a large pot, with chopped firewood piled up on the side. In the middle of the courtyard was a stone-built well, with a wooden bucket tied to it. On the other side was an uncultivated vegetable garden.
Directly opposite the courtyard was a small wooden house, which looked a bit old.
Walking to the wooden house, Ye Linlin knocked on the door, but no one answered. She simply pushed it, and with a creak, the door slowly opened.
Ye Linlin poked her head and looked into the house. The furnishings inside were very simple and elegant, a wooden table with a few chairs, a screen embroidered with orchids, a bathtub, and a carved solid wood bed.
Could this be the legendary space?
