Yonghe Road

Chapter 60 Intentions
"Have you chosen a name?" Lin Dangdang asked as she brought Lin Yingying back to the Lin family and looked at the child in Lin Yingying's arms.

"I haven't chosen a full name yet, my nickname is Niuniu," Lin Yingying said distractedly. Lin Dangdang, her elder brother, was never a good person to her, and today she was upset because of her mother-in-law Huifang, so her tone was very bad.

"Then let uncle give our precious nephew a name." Lin Dangdang said as he was about to take the child from Lin Yingying's arms. Lin Yingying was not happy and dodged.

Lin Dangdang said, "What's your attitude? I'm your eldest brother, Niu Niu's uncle. According to old customs, when a nephew gets married in the future, he must kneel before his uncle first. The uncle is the most important..."

"You forced me to abort him."

Lin Yingying choked Lin Dangdang with a word, but he was always thick-skinned and said with a smile: "I did it for your own good. If you had listened to me back then, you wouldn't have to live with a fool now."

When mentioning Zhong Ziwang's accident, Lin Yingying felt even more upset.

"Zi Wang got into an accident because you must have cursed him behind my back. Don't you wish me well? How can you treat me as your own sister? If you hadn't forced Zi Wang to ask for a betrothal gift, Zi Wang wouldn't have gone to work outside the city, and the accident wouldn't have happened..."

The more Lin Yingying thought about it, the more she felt wronged. She couldn't help but blame everyone and started to cry. When she cried, the child in her arms was also frightened and started to cry too.

Lin Dangdang quickly snatched the child from his arms and coaxed her: "Niuniu, be good, don't cry. Your uncle is the best, your mother is bad..."

Lin Dangdang held the child and coaxed him for a while, then began to name him, muttering a string of names such as "Xiao Qiang", "Xiao Ming", and "Da Zhuang". Lin Yingying was so angry that she laughed and said, "With the little knowledge you have, forget it."

Lin Yingying plans to ask the great writer Xie Anmin to help her choose a good name for her son someday.

Lin Dangdang took Lin Yingying and her child back to her parents' home, not originally to give them a name. She handed the child over to her own parents and then took Lin Yingying to the house to talk about something. Of course, what she said couldn't be anything good. It was still the same old talk, such as asking Lin Yingying to remarry.

"Yingying, I carefully selected this Mr. Wang for you. His family is in the basalt business, so he's rich. Although basalt hasn't been doing well in recent years, he made a lot of money when basalt was at its peak. He now has at least a few million in savings. You're still so young and good-looking, it would be great to marry a rich man..."

Lin Dangdang is quite talented as a matchmaker, but he did not exaggerate the fact that Mr. Wang is rich.

Since the discovery of high-quality basalt in the local Dazhang Mountain in the 1980s and 1990s, Xuanwuyan Town in eastern Fujian has set off a mining and processing boom, driven the development of related supporting industries, and become an important pillar industry in the local area.

However, due to long-term mining, the reserves have declined, the supply of raw materials is tight, and extensive mining and processing have also caused environmental damage, increasing the cost of environmental protection rectification. In addition, the industrial structure is single and concentrated on mining and processing, with low added value, weak risk resistance, and fierce market competition. It is seriously affected by domestic peers and international market fluctuations. In addition, there is a shortage of technology and talents, insufficient R&D investment, and backward equipment. The development of the basalt industry has been restricted and has long since declined. It is far less economic and social benefits brought to the local area by the development of the white tea industry that emerged later.

Based on this background, what Lin Dangdang said, "Mr. Wang is rich," is probably a true story.

Lin Dangdang said eloquently that it would take less than an hour to get from Shezu Township to Xuanwuyan Town via the Shenhai Expressway, and it was not far geographically.

Lin Yingying interrupted him: "Boss Wang is so nice, are you afraid of not being able to find a wife?"

"It's just that I'm a bit old, in my fifties, and I just lost my spouse..." Lin Cangcang chuckled and hurriedly explained, "Who in modern times still observes a lifetime of mourning? The living should always live well. After all, the dead cannot be resurrected."

Lin Yingying was speechless and asked Lin Dangdang: "Brother, I don't care whether other people find another partner after they become widowed. Have you forgotten that I am married and have a husband?"

Lin Yingying was furious, but Lin Dangdang didn't care. She said, "Zhong Ziwang is stupid. Can you still stay with him forever? I don't believe you are a chaste woman. Even though you insisted on marrying him back then, that was back then. How can things be the same now? Back then, Zhong Ziwang was just poor, but he was in good health and looked like a decent person. Now, Zhong Ziwang is a fool!"

With a "bang", Lin Yingying threw a cup. Lin Dangdang's words completely angered her, but Lin Dangdang had no guilt at all and continued to irritate her nerves.

"Lin Yingying, how about we make a bet? If you can stay with this idiot forever and never remarry, I'll chop off my head and give it to you! You're going to divorce Zhong Ziwang sooner or later, so why not do it sooner..."

Lin Yingying covered her ears and ran out of the house. In the yard, the Lin family's parents, who were playing with their grandson, were startled.

Lin Yingying rushed over, picked up the child, and ran out without even talking to the two elders.

Behind her, Lin Dangdang chased out, still noisy and shouting at her back: "When the time comes, just throw this burden to the Zhong family. Even if you get divorced, you will still be like a young girl who has never been married. You can marry a rich man..."

A small car drove onto the street in front of the Lin family's house. Because Lin Yingying suddenly appeared, the driver was so scared that he braked quickly.

The driver did not curse because he had already seen clearly that the daredevil was Lin Yingying holding the child.

Lin Dangdang had already chased out of the Lin family, and the driver quickly asked Lin Yingying to get in the car.

"You can't sit in the passenger seat with a child in your arms, but forget it..." The driver looked at Lin Yingying in the passenger seat, then looked at Lin Dangdang who rushed to the car window, started the car, and turned the car around.

"Lei Sheng, Lei Sheng, what are you doing? That's my sister, what do you mean by taking her away?" Lin Dangdang chased the car for a while, but in the end, two legs were no match for four wheels, so she could only shout at the car's receding back, "Lei Sheng, if you have the guts, just marry Lin Yingying."

In the car, Lei Sheng handed Lin Yingying a tissue. Only then did Lin Yingying realize that her face was covered with tears and she looked quite embarrassed.

She took the tissue and lowered her head awkwardly, the child in her arms opened his eyes and looked at her naively. The baby, a few months old, had already begun to recognize people, and the moment the mother and child looked at each other, the baby actually grinned and laughed.

The angelic laughter instantly melted the heart of the young woman who was about to become a mother.

Lei Sheng turned his head and looked at the scene. The scene was so beautiful that he couldn't help but smile.

As if some mysterious magnetic field surged, Lin Yingying looked up and thanked Lei Sheng, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, did our getting in your car affect your schedule? What were you planning to do just now?"

Lei Sheng is about to go to "Sweet Honey".

"It doesn't matter. I'll take you home first?"

The home Lei Sheng was referring to was naturally the Zhong family. When a woman gets married, her husband's family is her home, but Lin Yingying didn't want to go home now. Whether it was Zhong Ziwang or Huifang, they were both people she didn't want to face at the moment.

So, she remained silent. She didn't know how to answer Lei Sheng's question, so she could only remain silent.

Lei Sheng did not take it upon himself to send her back to the Zhong family, but instead asked, "My 'Sweet Honey', have you not been there yet?"

Lin Yingying nodded. "I heard it's a popular check-in spot. Many people in the city set up their team-building activities there."

Lei Sheng’s “sweet” house is located on a high mountain near Baile Village.

Lei Sheng's smart beekeeping base is also there. The ecological environment there is excellent and the vegetation is rich and diverse. It is an ideal source of honey and a great place for beekeeping. Therefore, Lei Sheng introduced cliff bee breeding and equipped it with modern beekeeping equipment such as digital beehives. A country villa was built next to the base to create a full industrial chain of production, research, learning and sales, aiming to drive the surrounding beekeepers to brew a "sweet business" together and achieve two-way progress.

Hearing the envy in Lin Yingying's tone, Lei Sheng felt quite proud and said, "I'll take you to see the world now."

Having said that, without waiting for Lin Yingying's nod, he stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the mountain.
