Chapter 1234: Chapter 1234
"Mom, what are you doing? Didn’t I tell you to lie down at home?"
On the village’s main road, Lin Yifan came running hurriedly.
He reached out to snatch the broom from his mother’s hand.
He had just returned home, but found no one there. After asking the neighbors, he found out that his mother had gone out early to sweep the road.
"I’ve been feeling stronger these past two days after taking medicine. How could I just lie around? We’ve sold everything we could at home over the years. Your second uncle arranged for me to be a village cleaner, and I earn eight hundred yuan a month. I haven’t swept for days; we shouldn’t take advantage of others."
To pay for Lin Yifan’s medical treatment, his mother had leased out the family’s several acres of land to others.
They even sold the contract for Toad Gully.
"Mom, then don’t sweep anymore. Leave this kind of thing to me in the future. Don’t worry, I’ll earn the money."
Lin Yifan said while holding the broom.
"How can that be? You’re a college graduate; you can’t do this kind of work. I’ve worked all my life, and it’s not good to be idle all day. If Feng Xian could have children, I could help take care of them."
His mother sighed.
"Mom, if you want to take care of a child, I’ll borrow one for you."
Lin Yifan said with a smile.
"That’s not right. I’d only want to coax my own grandson, not someone else’s kid. But Yifan, don’t forget your roots. If it weren’t for Feng Xian helping me these three years, you wouldn’t be where you are today. No matter what, you can’t abandon her just because she can’t have children. Our Old Lin Family can’t be that heartless, remember?"
His mother’s advice was filled with kindness.
She might not have had much schooling, but she understood gratitude better than most.
"Mom, rest assured, I won’t leave her. I’ll even get her treated so you can hold your grandson."
Lin Yifan promised with a smile.
He was determined to find a way to repay Xu Fengxian for her kindness.
After they finished sweeping the road, they went home because today they needed to go to the county to settle a bet with the Li Family.
After changing clothes, Lin Yifan drove straight to the town. Soon, the car pulled up in front of the small courtyard rented by Shen Shiyao.
She had been waiting there for a while but didn’t get in the car.
Instead, she signaled Lin Yifan to park the car in the garage.
"Aren’t we driving there?"
After parking the car, Lin Yifan walked curiously up to Shen Shiyao.
"We’re taking the bus to the county today."
In a white dress, she looked as beautiful as a fairy.
A wide-brimmed straw hat and large sunglasses concealed most of her face.
"Why?"
Lin Yifan asked with suspicion.
"You’ll find out in due time. Let’s go."
Shen Shiyao took Lin Yifan’s hand and walked forward with a mysterious air.
Lin Yifan didn’t ask further; it seemed like this rich girl was up to something again.
There weren’t many buses to the county, just a few a day.
But since it was market day, they only had to wait about twenty minutes at the station before getting on a bus.
On the mountain road, the mini-bus leisurely climbed over the ridges.
The swaying motion made them drowsy.
Even Shen Shiyao’s initial excitement waned with the constant swaying, making her drowsy.
Leaning on Lin Yifan’s shoulder and holding his hand, she fell into a deep sleep.
He closed his eyes too, inhaling the scent of her hair.
"Wah!"
After an unknown length of time, the crying from behind woke many people up.
Lin Yifan opened his eyes and glanced back.
A young couple was holding an infant in swaddling clothes.
"Seems like our son is hungry," the young father quickly inquired.
"Probably, make him some more formula," the mother said, rocking the baby.
The father agreed and started to prepare the formula.
This was an ordinary occurrence, but it felt different to Lin Yifan.
Now fully awake, he picked up his phone and started texting on WeChat.
"Wah wah wah..."
The crying grew louder, and the couple became flustered.
"Hey, have you cried enough?"
Suddenly, Lin Yifan’s shout brought everyone on the bus back to full consciousness.
They looked at him in shock.
"Sorry, sorry, our son is too small and doesn’t understand yet. We’re almost there."
The young father apologized hastily.
The mother also look at him apologetically.
"Bringing such a young child out, are you out of your minds? It’s really disturbing, don’t you know?"
Lin Yifan glared at the couple.
His eyes were filled with anger.
"Hey, how can you be so heartless? The child is only a few months old; why are you yelling?"
"If you can’t stand it, get off. Stop acting like you own the place."
"You’re a grown man, picking on a child; he doesn’t understand, but you should."
The passengers quickly started criticizing him.
Even Shen Shiyao hurriedly tugged on Lin Yifan’s arm, signaling him to sit down.
"Shut up! What business is it of yours if I talk?"
Lin Yifan swept his gaze across everyone.
"Hey, you’re being too much, young man! They said they’re almost at their stop, yet you keep making a fuss. If you want to sit, sit; if not, get off!"
The brawny driver turned his head and shouted at Lin Yifan.
"I paid, so why should I get off? You’re just a lousy driver; focus on driving your bus."
Lin Yifan turned back, shouting loudly.
"You think you can act this way without consequences? You looking for a fight? Get off!"
Northeast people are known for their fiery temper.
The driver slammed the brakes, stopped the bus, and jumped down, opening the door.
"I’m not afraid to fight. Anyone wanting to get beaten, step off the bus. If I don’t knock your teeth out, my last name isn’t mine."
Lin Yifan again pushed away Shen Shiyao, who was trying to hold him back.
The bus descended into chaos.
"Alright, alright, we’re sorry for causing trouble, we’ll get off and not disturb you anymore."
Seeing the situation escalate, the couple decided to get off with their child.
But Lin Yifan blocked them as they tried to exit.
"What, you think you can just leave when things get tough? No way. I’m telling you, nobody’s leaving today."
Lin Yifan blocked the door, his eyes scanning the area coldly.
"Lin Yifan, what’s gotten into you?"
Having never seen him so out of control, Shen Shiyao suddenly felt a sense of despair.
When did he turn into this person?
"Hey, kid, are you looking for trouble?!"
The minibus driver came around the bus, sleeves rolled up, approaching aggressively.
Just as he was about to lay a hand on Lin Yifan, Lin Yifan kicked him down onto the ground.
The driver rolled into a ditch on the side of the road, injured.
"You dare hit people? Get him!"
Several passengers, seeing this, started to surge out of the bus.
But the couple blocked the way, exacerbating the chaos.
"The police are here."
Suddenly, someone shouted, drawing everyone’s attention.
At the rear of the bus, a police SUV, lights flashing, rapidly approached.
"Officer, this guy’s hitting people, arrest him!"
Seeing the police car stop, the passengers immediately began to shout.
But Lin Yifan suddenly cracked a smile.
