CHAPTER 281: CHAPTER 280: SON-IN-LAW GAINS RESPECT

"Alright, I’ll go take a look," Liang Jian Country quickly stepped outside.

Liang Fang hurried to follow and check it out too.

As the two reached the door, they saw a green car slowly driving over, surrounded by many children and adults from both sides and behind.

This small mountain village had never seen such a grand car and the villagers were curious, wondering if the car was similar to a tractor.

The kids were quite fascinated too, hoping to get a chance to touch it when it stopped.

Everyone in the village knew that the old man of the Liang Family was an outsider, and no one had seen such a distinguished relative visiting over the years. Many were curious about what kind of relative it was.

In this village, where information was scarce, any family affair inevitably became the subject of gossip.

Han Yi carefully parked the car by the roadside and got out. He had completed his mission, and since the station was near Huai Town, he took this opportunity to visit old comrades.

His comrades found out he was married to the young girl who once came to Jun District looking for him and couldn’t help but tease him for his good fortune.

Han Yi only then realized that his wife had set her sights on him long ago, having secretly come to deliver clothes to him. Looks like he’ll have to question her thoroughly when he gets back.

Lin Wan mentioned that she also has an uncle back home, and since they’ve been married for a year without visiting her hometown, he took the time to come over.

"Hello, are you Liang Jian Country?" Han Yi scanned the villagers around him before meeting the eyes of Liang Zhi and his son.

"Yes, I am Liang Jian Country," Liang Jian Country quickly nodded, not accustomed to such a formal greeting.

"Hello Uncle, I am Lin Wan’s spouse."

Han Yi’s words relieved the father and son duo, as they knew about Xiao Wan’s marriage from Ying Hui’s previous visit, and Xiao Wan had recently sent medicine to her grandma through her in-laws.

"You are... Han Yi, right? Good kid. Come on in quickly." Without waiting for Han Yi to speak, Liang Jian Country warmly ushered him into the house.

Han Yi chuckled, pulled him back slightly, and turned to Liang Zhi, saying, "Help me out here."

This commanding tone seemed quite usual, and Liang Zhi obediently followed him.

Han Yi opened the car door. On the back seat, there were many gifts prepared for them - canned goods, brown sugar, pastries, liquor, cigarettes, all very comprehensive. Even rare items like two cans of malted milk were there.

Liang Zhi couldn’t let his guest do the heavy lifting, so he took out one bundle after another, impressing the villagers.

"Oh, Auntie, is this your family’s Xiao Wan’s husband?" an elderly aunt asked the Little Grandmother who had just stepped out.

Little Grandmother, having not heard her son’s earlier words, was somewhat confused.

Liang Jian Country laughed openly and didn’t hide the truth, "Yes indeed, Xiao Wan got married there last year, he’s from S City."

"Oh my, Hongmei is really blessed, her son got into college, started a business, and her daughter married a city man."

"Indeed, Hongmei has finally reached happiness."

Little Grandmother smiled upon hearing this, "That’s right, our Hongmei is destined for a life of happiness, after all the hardships."

"Hello Auntie, is this the Aunt-in-law? I’ve heard Xiao Wan mention you," Han Yi approached Cha Zhenfang and Little Grandmother, handing a packet of candies to the aunt-in-law.

"Alright, alright, so you’re Ai Yi. We’ve heard from your mother, it’s wonderful you could come see us. Come, child, it’s hot, let’s talk inside," Little Grandmother joyfully pulled Han Yi into the house.

Cha Zhenfang looked at the packet of White Rabbit candies in her hand with a smile and started handing them out to the surrounding women and children, "Since it’s far, we couldn’t attend the wedding. Our son-in-law is in the military and hasn’t had the time to come over. Come, come, everyone try some sweets to celebrate. We won’t be entertaining you at our house today as we need to welcome our new guest."
