Chapter 240 - Liu Jiaying Visits

That night, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan’s relationship seemed to have gotten closer, but they did not realize it.

…

“We’re here, we’re here, this is it,” A clear girl’s voice came from a carriage.

Then, a luxurious carriage suddenly stopped in front of Lin Yuelan’s house.

Many villagers had seen this carriage before.

As soon as the carriage stopped, a girl in a pink dress with two pigtails got off.

She lifted the hem of her dress and walked forward. But then, she stopped because she saw some changes. There was a large courtyard and a small thatched house.

She was a little hesitant. She wasn’t sure if this house still belonged to Lin Yuelan.

She remembered that Lin Yuelan had more than three hundred taels of silver on her. With such a sum of silver, she could buy a very beautiful and large house with a courtyard in the countryside. Perhaps she had moved.

“Sister Jiaying, what’s wrong?” Zhou Wencai had just parked the carriage and alighted when he saw Liu Jiaying in a daze.

Liu Jiaying shook her head and said with some uncertainty, “I don’t know if Sister Yuelan still lives here or not.”

When Zhou Wencai heard that, he immediately shifted his gaze toward the house in front of him. He was immediately dumbfounded!

‘Fuck, is this really a house for humans to live in?

‘It only looks a little bigger than a bird’s nest. Moreover, it is in tatters and on the verge of collapse.’

Zhou Wencai looked at his surroundings suspiciously. Then, he asked, “Sister Jiaying, are you sure this is the place?” As he spoke, he pointed to the small thatched house and asked in surprise, “Is this really a human home? I remember Miss Lin has a lot of money on her.”

Many rich people would first invest in a big house.

Liu Jiaying was confused too. “Brother Wencai, I’m not sure if sister Yuelan still lives here. The last time I came here, she was indeed living in this… small house. But,” Liu Jiaying frowned. “This place was just a piece of land. There was no such courtyard.”

Since they weren’t sure, they could only ask. Only then did Zhou Wencai put away the folding fan that he carried all year round. Then, he went up and knocked on the door. As he knocked, he shouted, “is anyone there? Is miss Lin here?”

No one answered!

At this moment, Doctor Zhang came over with Xiao Tong. He was going to take out the herbs Lin yuelan had found and dry them in the sun. Otherwise, they would rot very quickly.

However, as soon as he arrived in front of Lin Yuelan’s house, he noticed the luxurious carriage and immediately became alert. He stepped forward and asked,” Who are you? What are you doing standing in front of my house?”

“Is this your house?” Liu Jiaying exclaimed. Then, she pointed at the house and asked loudly, “Isn’t this Lin Yuelan’s house? If this is your house, then where is sister Yuelan living now?”

Hearing Liu Jiaying’s term of address for Lin Yuelan, Doctor Zhang immediately knew who the person in front of him was. He immediately smiled and said, “this is also Lin Yuelan’s home.”

Liu Jiaying and Zhou Wencai were immediately puzzled.

Doctor Zhang added, “this is my grand-disciple, Lin Yuelan’s house.”

Liu Jiaying finally understood the reason. She immediately asked respectfully and anxiously, “Grandpa, where is sister Yuelan?”

The corner of Doctor Zhang’s mouth twitched. This child was quite polite. She had immediately called him grandfather.

Doctor Zhang replied, “she went up the mountain to pick herbs.”

As he spoke, he took out his keys and opened the courtyard door. He said, “would the two of you like to come in and wait for Lan ‘Er to come back, or would you prefer to stand outside the door?” They looked rich, so they might not be willing to get into the dilapidated house.

Liu Jiaying immediately said, “Grandpa, I’ll go in and wait for sister Yuelan.”

Zhou Wencai looked at the crumbling thatched house and curled his lips. But his curiosity about Lin Yuelan won out.

Zhou Wencai said, “Sir, I’ll go in too!”

Doctor Zhang nodded, then pushed the door open and let them in.

However, when the duo saw the tents in the courtyard, they were stunned.

‘What … What’s going on?’ Liu Jiaying didn’t hide her curiosity and asked directly, “Grandpa, what’s the matter with these tents?”

Doctor Zhang quite liked Liu Jiaying. He felt that she was honest and kind.

Doctor Zhang smiled and pretended to be mysterious. “Girl, Grandpa will tell you, but you can’t tell anyone else, understand?”

Liu Jiaying immediately nodded and said, “Yes, of course.”

Doctor Zhang then said very seriously, “There is a man sleeping in every tent.”

“A man in each tent?” Liu Jiaying’s eyes were wide open as she exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Wencai frowned when he heard this answer. Then, his brows relaxed.

Doctor Zhang immediately shouted sternly, “What? Is it so strange for some men to sleep in the courtyard?”

Liu Jiaying immediately realized that she had overreacted. She quickly shook her head and said, “It’s not like that …”

However, before she could explain, an old male voice was heard in the courtyard. “Doctor Zhang, is Lan ‘Er at home?”

Doctor Zhang looked out the door and saw Lin Sanniu and his wife standing outside with their children. Immediately, he was furious and replied in a bad tone, “No!”

Then, he walked away and slammed the door.
