Chapter 268: Chapter 261: Oh Xiaobai Cai
However, just before the New Year, she fell ill. It was undoubtedly stress-induced.
Stress can kill, just like Teacher Song right now. If she continues being stressed out like this, she might just cause her own death.
Soon after the exam results were released, it was time for the New Year’s Eve again. For many people, this year was going to be a good one, especially for Tang Zhinian. He and Ren Li had already gotten their marriage certificates. Ren Li, being impulsive, didn’t say anything and immediately claimed the certificate with Tang Zhinian once they received their hukou. Despite it being his second marriage, Zhinian felt like a young boy again. The thought of getting married again kept him awake for several nights.
They got their wedding sorted out right before the New Year. The ceremony was held in the village. Although they originally planned to keep it small, the wedding ended up being rather grand because now, Zhinian was not short on cash. The whole Xu, Lin, and Chen Families came. When they saw Tang Zhijun’s little daughter, a beautiful and obedient girl in her early teens, everyone wished they could take her home as their own.
Sisi was a sweet talker, she sweetened everyone up by calling them auntie, uncle, big brother, big sister.
Zhijun felt immense happiness for his brother marrying again. They had been single for so long, it wouldn’t make sense to give themselves a hard time just for the sake of Zhilan. They didn’t even have someone to depend on when they were away from home.
Zhijun also had his own ideas. He and Zhang Xiangcao had been married for many years but didn’t have a child. If he didn’t have children in this lifetime, it would be okay as they had Sisi, and Zhinian had Yuxin.
However, having a boy would be even better. Hence, he hoped that his elder brother could marry a woman and continue the Tang Family’s lineage.
Thankfully, this time, Zhinian saw the light and decided to get married.
His sister-in-law was much better than Zhilan, she was refreshing and a bit fierce. She loved children a lot. The fact that she always looked after SIisi and spent money on her showed that she was a good woman. She would never leave her own daughter behind like Zhilan did.
Most importantly, she got along well with Yuxin. Despite Yuxin being a bit cold, she and Ren Li were like mother and daughter, sisters, and friends. This made Zhijun very relieved.
“Little cabbage, leaves are yellowing, only two or three years old, mom’s walking away...”
Zhinian’s eyes twitched. He had no choice but to take the faint Ren Li away first. Later, he had to return and deal with the wine.
He was running around taking care of the women at home, then getting a new bottle and wine for his daughter so she could infuse a new batch of Snake Wine. Although the snake was used once, it was not completely useless, its effect was just slightly less.
Having two women in the house was truly giving him a huge headache.
Zhijun was secretly laughing at his older brother for marrying such a lively woman and having a quirky daughter. It seemed like his life was getting more and more interesting.
If Zhinian knew Zhijun’s thoughts, he would definitely scream back at him.
Interesting? What’s so interesting about this? You try living this awful life! Especially with his daughter, Yuxin, who would sing the ‘Little Cabbage’ song whenever something didn’t go her way. It was almost as if he had forgotten about her after getting married.
But heavens knew, in his heart, his daughter always came first. No one could replace her. Even after marrying Ren Li, or even if he were to have a son later, his daughter would always be his priority.
Yuxin gave Lin Yile several packets of medicine.
“Drink it every day, remember.”
“Okay,” Lin Yile obediently agreed. She had gotten used to drinking whatever Yuxin gave her over these two months.
“Yuxin,” Lin Yile put the medicine into her schoolbag and then asked Yuxin, “When do we start studying? I don’t even want to celebrate the New Year anymore, studying is more important.”
