Chapter 14 : Big brick and tile house.
After entering the village, Aunt Hongxia thanked them repeatedly and then parted ways with the others.
When only Lin Lan and Xiao Yuyan were left, Ye Suiwan felt a little embarrassed.
Hadn’t she just ruined her delicate and soft image by hitting someone?
Although she had already done it once last night, she didn’t think they would consider her a violent person.
“Ye girl, can you eat chili?”
Lin Lan and Ye Suiwan asked at the same time.
Ye Suiwan was stunned. She hadn’t expected them to not bring up what had just happened.
“I can eat it, Auntie. I’m not picky with food.”
She was actually a picky eater, but she could eat anything, so if necessary, she could cook for herself later.
“Okay, I’ll mix some cucumbers and we’ll eat.”
“Take your medicine after eating. It’s kept warm!”
The more Lin Lan looked at Ye Suiwan, the more she liked her.
Ye Suiwan had wanted to ask if it was okay to drink the medicine given that, based on her previous life, she was likely pregnant this time. But she didn’t know how to bring it up.
Would pouring the medicine into space later be a waste?
“Aunt, this medicine doesn’t have any side effects, right?”
After thinking it over, Ye Suiwan decided to ask, as it concerned the baby.
Although she didn’t know much about medicine, she was aware that one should avoid taking medicine during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary.
She then remembered that she had to take painkillers in the morning, and fortunately, Xiaobao had stopped her. She had almost been reckless!
She had a small first aid kit with all kinds of medicines, some of which were only available from the military hospital, thanks to her father’s rank.
“That medicine is used for women’s conditioning. It has no side effects, but remember, medicine is always a bit toxic. What’s wrong?”
“Come, now that we’re home, I’ll take your pulse again. If you’re fine, you don’t need to take the medicine.”
Lin Lan didn’t think much of it. She assumed Ye Suiwan simply didn’t want to take the medicine because it was bitter.
“I’m sorry to trouble you.”
Ye Suiwan’s eyes lit up when she heard that. If that was the case, it would be great.
She didn’t mind having Xiao Yuyan’s baby, and if she was pregnant, she would keep it. There were still many things she needed to do after this, and by the time the babies grew up, it would be just right.
If she could live her life over again, she would live it to the fullest.
“We’re family now, come on in.”
Just as Lin Lan was about to push the door, it opened from the inside.
“Sister-in-law!”
Xiao Nuannuan was very clever. She knew that since Ye Suiwan was visiting their house, she must be with her eldest brother. It wasn’t too much to call her sister-in-law.
She really wanted such a beautiful sister-in-law.
“Nuan Nuan, good girl!”
Ye Suiwan gently pinched her face and said, “Well, you need to eat well in the future. You’re too thin.”
“You two, go get the food. Suiwan and I will go to the clinic.”
Lin Lan also started calling her that.
“Okay, Mom!”
Xiao Yuyan, who had been following behind, replied.
Once inside, Ye Suiwan was surprised to find such a nice house in the countryside.
However, she had vaguely heard that a family lived in a large blue brick house, and they were descendants of a martyr. She assumed this must be the Xiao family’s home, as she didn’t know Xiao’s father.
When they arrived at the clinic, a faint medicinal fragrance greeted them as the door opened. The room was full of things but neat and organized. There was a row of medicine cabinets on the north wall, with a chair in front of them. In front of the chair was a table, and beside it, a stool for patients. A simple bed was near the door.
“Sit down!”
Lin Lan pointed at the stool and walked to the table.
“Alright!”
After sitting down, Ye Suiwan placed her wrist on the table.
Lin Lan placed her fingers on Ye Suiwan’s pulse, looking focused and serious.
Ye Suiwan had been watching her, and when she saw Lin Lan’s expression shift from calm to shock, she too became curious.
“Aunt, what’s wrong with me?”
Ye Suiwan was puzzled.
“Don’t worry, Suiwan. Your pulse is strong, and your health is fine. There’s no need for the medicine.”
Lin Lan smiled.
Last night, Ye Suiwan’s pulse had been weak, and she was suffering from Qi and blood deficiency. Was she feeling better tonight?
Lin Lan thought maybe it was due to staying up late last night, but she was glad Ye Suiwan was fine now.
“Okay, thank you, Aunt.”
At that moment, Xiao Yuyan entered.
“Mom, Wanwan, is it done? Let’s eat!”
“Eat, eat, the girl is in good health!”
Knowing her son was worried, Lin Lan quickly reassured him.
Ye Suiwan washed her hands and followed Xiao Yuyan into the living room.
On the table, there was a pot of chicken stewed with potatoes, a bowl of egg custard, a plate of vegetables, and a pot of steamed buns.
Ye Suiwan could tell this meal had been specially prepared.
“Here, have another cold dish. Eat more at the end of the year.”
Lin Lan entered from the kitchen with a plate of cucumbers.
“Yes, Auntie.”
After she married, her food had to be this standard.
As soon as they sat down, Lin Lan and Xiao Yuyan both put chicken legs in Ye Suiwan’s bowl.
Ye Suiwan burst out laughing.
“Here, Auntie, you eat. Nuannuan, you eat.”
“I can pick it myself. There’s so much meat!”
Ye Suiwan placed a chicken leg in Lin Lan’s and Xiao Nuannuan’s bowls.
“Sister-in-law, you eat!”
“Yeah, girl, eat more.”
But Ye Suiwan had already picked up the bowl, so they couldn’t add more.
She looked at Xiao Yuyan.
“Mom, Nuan Nuan, you guys eat.”
Xiao Yuyan immediately understood Ye Suiwan’s request for help.
“Thank you, sister-in-law!” Xiao Nuannuan said, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
“Okay, let’s eat. Let’s finish everything!”
Lin Lan’s eyes were red.
This daughter-in-law is really kind-hearted.
Everyone had a full meal.
“Aunt, you don’t have to cook dinner. I’ll make dumplings for lunch and ask Ayan to bring them back.”
It wasn’t easy to bring her here earlier. Since their relationship had just been confirmed, the whole village would know by this afternoon. That way, she wouldn’t feel too shy visiting the Xiao family in the future.
“Just eat it yourself.”
Lin Lan didn’t know what to say.
“I saved this just for you.”
Ye Suiwan insisted.
“Okay, thank you so much then.”
“Sister-in-law, you’re so kind. You’re the best sister-in-law in our brigade.”
Xiao Nuannuan’s eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Ye Suiwan.
“I’m definitely my sister-in-law number one fan.”
“Yuyan, you and Suiwan go to your room and see what furniture you need. There’s still time to buy it before the wedding.”
“Nuannuan and I will clean up!”
“Good!”
Ye Suiwan wanted to see their room, so she followed Xiao Yuyan.
As the door opened, the midday sunlight filled the room, and she liked it very much.
Just as she turned to speak to Xiao Yuyan, he suddenly picked her up and pressed her against the door that had just closed.
She instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist and hugged his neck.
Ye Suiwan didn’t forget to cover her mouth with one hand to prevent herself from shouting.
“Wanwan!”
Xiao Yuyan’s voice was hoarse, as if he was restraining himself. His eyes, full of aggression, made Ye Suiwan feel as though he could see right through her. Her face turned hot, and her heart pounded.
Xiao Yuyan rested his chin on her neck .
