Chapter 38 Don’t mention this matter again

"Sister, don't you like Master Meng?" In the yard, Lin Nan asked sensitively while putting his arms around Lin Xin's neck.

Lin Xin shook her head. "It's not that I don't like him. Didn't I tell you? He's supposed to teach Nan Nan, not me. As long as Nan Nan likes it, it's fine."

"But Nan Nan doesn't want to make her sister unhappy." Lin Nan lowered her head, grabbed Lin Xin's collar with her little hands and whispered.

"Sister isn't unhappy!" Lin Xin pinched Lin Nan's cheek. "You're only three years old, not even four! These things aren't your thing to worry about, okay? Or you'll turn into an old man if you keep thinking too much!"

"Sister~" Lin Nan coquettishly buried his face in Lin Xin's neck.

"Xin girl, is Xin girl at home?" The brother and sister had just finished their heart-to-heart talk when Lin Jing's voice was heard outside the door.

"I'm here, Uncle Jing. What's the matter? Come in and talk first." Lin Xin let Lin Nan go into the house, opened the door, and let Lin Jing in.

"Uncle Jing." Lin Nan was sitting on the kang. When he saw Lin Jing come in, he called him obediently.

"Hey, Nannan, be good." Lin Jing walked over, touched his little head, and sat down beside him.

"Xin girl, I heard from my father that the doctor in town wants to take Nan Nan as his apprentice. Did you go to do this today? What was the result?" Lin Jing asked directly.

"Well, the apprenticeship ceremony has already taken place today, and Uncle Cui has accepted Nan Nan as his last disciple." Anyway, everyone will know about this matter soon, and Lin Xin has nothing to hide.

"Really? That's great! From now on, you and your sister will have someone to lean on, and your life will be better," Lin Jing was sincerely happy for them. He then said to Lin Nan seriously, "Nannan, you must learn well from Master, okay? When you learn, remember to be filial to your sister. She has sacrificed a lot for you."

"I know that Nannan will also be filial to Uncle Jing and the clan leader in the future." Lin Nan's little mouth was as sweet as honey, making Lin Jing laugh and say yes repeatedly.

After giving Lin Nan a few more instructions, Lin Jing went home, saying that he would tell his father the good news and let him be happy too.

The next day, the news that Lin Nan was noticed by the doctor in the town's clinic and was accepted as an apprentice spread throughout the village like wings. When it reached the Lin family, the whole family was furious.

"How come that brat Lin Nan is so lucky that he was actually seen by the doctor in the town clinic." Boss Lin squatted at the gate of the yard and said in a muffled voice.

"Yeah, it would be great if Brother Yang was chosen. Then our situation in the village would be better." Lin Laosan also sighed and agreed. There was nothing they could do. Their Lin family had been having a very hard time recently. The villagers began to distance themselves from them. The people who usually gathered together to have a drink and chat were gone, and occasionally they would even encounter a few people who spit at them.

Fortunately, what happened in the village did not spread to Yang Ge'er's academy, otherwise he would have been isolated by his classmates.

"If you ask me, we should just let that brat give the spot to our Brother Yang. How can he, a little brat who is less than four years old, know what medical skills are? Can he understand what the doctor teaches him?" Xu said with a turn of her eyes.

Boss Lin was very interested and looked up at Old Man Lin who had been sitting there puffing on his pipe.

Zhou moved her lips twice but said nothing. She lowered her head silently and gently stroked her belly with her right hand.

"Dad, say something!" The eldest brother, Lin Lao Da, had been reluctant to speak, but Old Man Lin remained silent. Unable to resist the temptation of his son becoming the town doctor's apprentice, he finally spoke up. "Don't mention this anymore. It's getting late. Let's all go to bed!" Old Man Lin said after a long silence. He then tapped his pipe on the sole of his shoe a few times, stood up, and went back to his room, his back looking a bit hunched.

Everyone in the yard looked at each other, and no one could understand why Old Man Lin disagreed.

"Since Dad doesn't agree, let it go. We still have to get up and work tomorrow, so let's go back to sleep first. Big brother, you should also rest early!" Lin Laosan yawned and asked Zhou Shi to go back to the house.

"No, you..." Boss Lin looked at the door closed by Old Third Lin, spat angrily, stood up and went back with heavy footsteps.

"You're not expecting Third Brother to speak up for you in front of Father, are you?" After Xu followed Boss Lin into the house, she said to Boss Lin, who was lying on the kang in silence, "Third Brother won't help us. If this thing really goes through, it's our eldest wife who will benefit. Their family won't benefit, and they might even offend Father. How could they help us?"

"Then what do you say we should do? Are we just going to watch such a great opportunity fall on the head of that unlucky Lin Nan?" Boss Lin sat up suddenly and asked Xu irritably.

"Of course not. Now that little bitch Lin Xin doesn't take us seriously and is even encouraging the whole village to isolate us. If that damn bastard Lin Nan gets the attention of the town doctor, no one in the village will pay attention to our family. I think we have to do this ourselves." Greed rolled in Xu's eyes.

"Why are you doing it yourself? Don't forget that bitch has nothing to do with our family anymore. What else can you do to her?" Boss Lin couldn't understand what Xu was thinking.

"We really can't go find that little bitch, but we can go find that doctor who took that damn kid as his apprentice. He's a town doctor, and he definitely values ​​his reputation. As long as we tell him that Lin Xin and Lin Nan have severed ties with our family, do you think he'd still take an ungrateful person as his apprentice? After he gives up on Lin Nan, we can bring Brother Yang to him. With Brother Yang's intelligence, who's afraid he wouldn't be interested?"

Boss Lin's heart was already floating in the air after being fooled by Xu's words. All he could think about was the envious looks the villagers gave him after his son became the town doctor's apprentice. He immediately made a firm decision and said, "We'll do as you say. Tomorrow I'll have Boss secretly follow those two bastards. Once we know where the doctor's home is, we'll go find him."

"Let's do it!" Xu said in full agreement.

After lying down, the couple painted a lot of promises for each other, and then fell asleep with the vision of a better future in their hearts.

They slept well, but it was not the same for Lin Laosan and his wife who lived across the wall from them.

"Boss, do you think this baby in my belly is another girl?" Zhou asked Lin Lao San nervously while touching her belly.

"Don't talk nonsense. What girl? This is obviously a son. I tell you, if you think my son is a daughter because of your idle thoughts all day long, I will divorce you." Lin Lao San glared at Zhou fiercely, his eyes red as if he wanted to eat someone.

"I understand. I won't think about it anymore." Zhou responded hesitantly. Ever since Lin Lao San found out that she was pregnant with another child, he seemed like a different person. He would get angry whenever the thought of having a daughter was mentioned, and sometimes he would even beat people. Her two daughters were scared of him and would hide away from him as if he were a ghost.

"Hmph!" Lin Laosan stared at her for a long while. Seeing that she was smiling at him ingratiatingly, he snorted and lay down to continue sleeping.

Zhou originally wanted to tell him about Lin Nan's apprenticeship, but now she didn't dare to do so. After lying down, she secretly touched her belly and prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, praying that it was a boy in her belly.
