When the funeral procession returned from the mountain, the villagers were still gathered at the door of the Luo family's house in twos and threes, talking about what had just happened.
Lin Yueh-a had been absent-minded during the funeral, mainly because she was worried about Xia Ruofei.
She walked near the door and saw that Xia Ruofei and Huang Zhenyu had disappeared. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. When she vaguely heard the villagers say something about the county's criminal police, she was even more anxious.
Lin Yueh-a quickly walked a few steps forward, grabbed a familiar village woman, and asked, "Sister-in-law Wu, what happened to Zhicheng's comrade? Was he arrested by the police? "
Sister-in-law Wu said with admiration, "Yue 'er, Zhicheng's comrade is really amazing! He made a phone call, and not long after, the leaders of the province called the fake reporter and scolded him severely. That fake reporter was so scared that he almost peed. "
Lin Yueh-a was so worried that she didn't pay attention to what Sister-in-law Wu said. She held her hand tightly and said, "Sister-in-law Wu, what did you say about the police? Why is Ruofei missing? Was he arrested by the police? "
Sister-in-law Wu looked at Lin Yueh-a with some amusement and said, "How is that possible? Yue 'er, not long after you left, the county's criminal police came. We all thought that it was going to be bad. Your comrade might be arrested! I didn't expect that the police didn't arrest him at all. Instead, they took the three fake reporters into the car and took them away … "
Lin Yueh-a breathed a long sigh of relief when she heard that. As long as Xia Ruofei was fine, it didn't matter what happened in the process.
If Xia Ruofei had really been imprisoned because of her family's matter, she would have felt guilty for the rest of her life.
At this time, Xia Ruofei came out of the door. When he saw Lin Yueh-a, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you're back!"
When Lin Yueh-a saw that Xia Ruofei appeared in front of her, she was completely relieved.
She asked, "Ruofei, did the police make things difficult for you?"
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law!" Xia Ruofei said, "I've already coordinated everything. Let me tell you, that Huang Zhenyu … that reporter, he doesn't even have a reporter's certificate. Furthermore, he has committed many violations of the rules and regulations. The Provincial SARFT's disciplinary inspection team has already filed a case against him. He will receive the punishment he deserves for all the bad things he has done!"
Lin Yueh-a let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Ruofei, I thank you on behalf of Old Luo … But are you sure you'll be fine after beating him up like that?"
At this moment, Third Great Uncle, who hadn't left all this time, said, "Yue 'er, this kind of bad person deserves to be punished. What's there to be afraid of? The police from the county came today and were very polite to this young man. They didn't make things difficult for him at all. You don't have to worry about it! "
Lin Yueh-a hurriedly said to Third Great Uncle, "I know, Third Great Uncle …"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I just gave Uncle Luo a traditional Chinese medicine treatment and gave him some medicine that I made myself. His condition is much better now. You can go in and take a look!"
"Oh … Okay, okay, okay!" Lin Yueh-a said hurriedly.
She had been very busy these past few days. Her mother-in-law had passed away and her father-in-law's health was very poor. It seemed that the family was about to fall apart.
Fortunately, when Xia Ruofei came, not only did he severely punish the fake reporter, but he also treated her father-in-law. Her father-in-law's complexion had obviously improved yesterday. Otherwise, if something happened to her father-in-law again, Lin Yueh-a really wouldn't be able to hold on.
She walked quickly to the east room and saw Uncle Luo sitting on the bed. He looked much better. The key was that his breathing was very stable and his complexion was much rosier.
Seeing Lin Yueh-a come in, Uncle Luo sighed and asked, "Yue 'er, did you send your mother up the mountain?"
"Yes! Dad, I've taken care of the funeral, "Lin Yueh-a said with red eyes.
"Ah! It's been hard on you … "Uncle Luo said," Child, you haven't lived a good life since you came to our house! Zhicheng is in the army all year round. Your mother and I are in poor health. This family depends on you. Then something happened to Zhicheng and your mother died … "
As he spoke, Uncle Luo couldn't help but tear up. He was very sad.
Lin Yueh-a hurriedly said, "Dad, please don't say that. Isn't it my duty to take care of this family? Now that mom and Zhicheng are gone, you have to take care of yourself. If something happens to you again, I really won't have the face to see them in the future … "
"I know, I know …" Uncle Luo was in tears. "Child, it's been hard on you!"
"Dad, let's not talk about this!" Lin Yueh-a said, "Ruofei said that he treated you again this morning. How do you feel?"
"This child's medical skills are really good!" Uncle Luo said, "He gave me acupuncture for a while and brewed me a medicine. After drinking it, I felt relaxed all over!"
Lin Yueh-a showed a hint of joy and said, "That means that the medicine is right for the illness! Dad, you've had this illness for so many years. Many doctors couldn't do anything about it after seeing it. Ruofei only came over for a day, and your condition improved. He must have a way to completely cure your illness! "
Uncle Luo nodded and said, "Xiao Xia said the same thing …"
Lin Yueh-a suddenly thought of Xia Ruofei's suggestion last night. She had been busy since last night and didn't have time to think about it carefully. Now that her father-in-law's illness had improved significantly, she began to seriously consider Xia Ruofei's suggestion.
In all fairness, the benefits of Xia Ruofei's suggestion were obvious.
She could have a stable job, Nan Nan could receive a better education, and her father-in-law's illness could be effectively treated. No matter which point it was, it was very attractive to Lin Yueh-a.
More importantly, if what Xia Ruofei said was true, that he was only providing a job and treated the other employees the same as the other employees, then earning money through labor did not go against her principles and her husband's instructions.
Of course, Lin Yueh-a also knew that whether it was treating her father-in-law's illness or coordinating Nan Nan's enrollment, her family had definitely accepted Xia Ruofei's help and owed him a huge favor.
However, even Captain Luo's revenge was personally avenged by Xia Ruofei. This favor was something that she couldn't repay in her lifetime. Therefore, compared to other comrades, Lin Yueh-a was more likely to accept Xia Ruofei's help. This kind of mentality was very subtle.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Yueh-a was indeed tempted to go to Sanshan City.
However, she was very clear that the biggest difficulty wasn't her own heart, but how to convince her father-in-law.
As an old man who had guarded his hometown for decades, and his wife and son were both resting on this piece of land, it was too difficult to convince him to leave his hometown and go to Sanshan City.
Lin Yueh-a's heart was very conflicted at this moment. In the end, she didn't tell Uncle Luo about Xia Ruofei's proposal. She just chatted with him for a while and told him to rest in his room and not think about anything else. Then, she got up and left the east room.
Xia Ruofei was smoking in the courtyard. When he saw Lin Yueh-a come out, he greeted her with a smile and asked, "Sister-in-law, is Uncle Luo doing well?"
"He's recovering quite well," Lin Yueh-a said. "Ruofei, thank you so much!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You're treating me like an outsider! Oh right, Sister-in-law, my proposal yesterday … Have you considered it? Please don't reject it! I came here specially to invite you this time. Am I sincere enough? "
Lin Yueh-a showed a trace of emotion and said, "Ruofei, you're really considerate. I've seriously considered your proposal yesterday. It's indeed very attractive, but … I'm worried that I won't be able to convince my father-in-law. After all, he … "
"Sister-in-law, as long as you agree, this matter will be easy to handle!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I'll do the work on Uncle Luo's side!"
"You?" Lin Yueh-a looked at Xia Ruofei with some disbelief.
She wasn't confident that she could persuade him personally. How could Xia Ruofei persuade that stubborn old man?
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, just tell me if you agree or not. If you agree, I'll go and persuade Uncle Luo! "
Lin Yueh-a pondered for a long time, then finally nodded and said, "If you can do as you promised yesterday and treat me as an ordinary employee without any special treatment, I'm willing to work in your company."
Xia Ruofei happily waved his fist and said, "That's great! Sister-in-law, wait here for a while. I'll go in and have a good chat with Uncle Luo! "
"Ruofei …" Lin Yueh-a had just spoken when Xia Ruofei excitedly ran into the East Room.
Lin Yueh-a helplessly shook her head and could only let him be.
She was a little nervous as she paced back and forth in the central room. After about ten minutes, Xia Ruofei pushed open the door of the East Room and walked out. He smiled and made an OK gesture to her and said, "Sister-in-law, it's done!"
Lin Yueh-a opened her eyes wide in surprise and asked, "My father-in-law agreed?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Of course! I already said that once I do it, there will be no problem! If you don't believe me, you can go in and ask Uncle Luo. "
Lin Yueh-a really didn't dare to believe it. She quickly pushed open the door of the East Room and walked in.
"Dad …" Lin Yueh-a called out.
Uncle Luo turned to look at her and said, "Yue 'er! You should pack your things in the next two days! Little Xia said that when he comes back from this business trip, he will take us to Sanshan. "
"You agreed?" Lin Yueh-a asked in surprise.
Uncle Luo nodded and said, "Yes, I already promised Little Xia."
"No … Dad, did Ruofei feed you some magic potion?" Lin Yueh-a couldn't help but ask, "I thought you would definitely not agree!"
Uncle Luo smiled and said, "Yue 'er! Am I such an old-fashioned person in your mind? "
"No, no …" Lin Yueh-a quickly waved her hand and said, "I'm just curious, how did Ruofei convince you?"
Uncle Luo said, "Actually, it's nothing. He told me that it would take a long time for my illness to be completely cured. It would be best if I went to Sanshan, where he could treat me at any time. Also, Little Xia told me that there are a lot of vegetables, fruits, and fish on his farm. In fact, it's similar to the countryside. Also … there are a lot of retired soldiers on the farm. Some of them are soldiers from Zhi Cheng's old army. In the end, he promised me that if I wanted to come back to see your mother and Zhi Cheng, I could tell him at any time, and he would personally send me back … "
After Lin Yueh-a heard this, her eyes were a little wet.
Uncle Luo said with emotion, "Yue 'er! The soldier that Zhi Cheng brought was really someone who valued comradeship! We must remember the help he has given to our family. "
Lin Yueh-a nodded heavily.
Uncle Luo said again, "Actually, what Little Xia said isn't important. The key is that I feel that it's really too hard for you to support a family alone. You can't take care of the few acres of land at home by yourself. If you work at Little Xia's company, you can also relax a little. In addition, Nan Nan can also receive a better education. "
Speaking of this, Uncle Luo smiled and said, "I'm already so old. How can I be a burden to all of you? Besides, as long as the family is reunited, where isn't home? "
Uncle Luo didn't study much and couldn't speak of any great principles. However, these simple words that he said were a lot of sentiments in life.
Lin Yueh-a nodded heavily and said, "Dad, I know! Then let's go to Sanshan to take a look first. If you feel that you're not used to it, I'll resign from Ruofei and come back to the village. "
Uncle Luo smiled and nodded. "Okay! It's settled then! "
After Lin Yueh-a left the east house, Xia Ruofei was still waiting in the central room. He smiled and asked, "How was it? Sister-in-law, I didn't lie to you, right? "
Lin Yueh-a said, "Ruofei, thank you so much this time!"
"Sister-in-law, I still have to go out of town to do something. It's not even the seventh day of Aunt Luo's funeral. There must be a lot of things to do." Xia Ruofei said, "When I'm done and come back, I'll send a car to pick you up. Don't worry, I'll make arrangements at Sanshan. It won't delay Nan Nan's school in September!"
"Okay!" Lin Yueh-a said, "We'll listen to you!"
Many villagers came to help with the funeral at home. They had to treat everyone to a meal at noon, so Lin Yueh-a didn't have time to chat with Xia Ruofei. Soon, she went to work with Captain Luo's sister.
Lin Yueh-a even asked someone to pass a message to her cousin in the neighboring village to send Nan Nan back.
Nan Nan was a child who didn't have a clear concept of life and death, so she didn't show too much sadness about the passing of her grandmother and father. Instead, she was very happy to see Uncle Xia Ruofei. In fact, every time Nan Nan went to the army with Lin Yueh-a to visit relatives, she liked to play with the soldiers. She was very familiar with many of the soldiers in Lone Wolf.
Xia Ruofei had successfully persuaded Lin Yueh-a and Uncle Luo. He was in a very good mood and had a lot of fun with Nan Nan.
