I transmigrated to the 1970s and became the female lead's vicious stepsister.
Chapter 37 Fu Linchuan's Uncle Shen Zhiyan
Meanwhile, outside the Su family courtyard, villagers gathered in layers to watch the spectacle.
These past two days, Su Wu has been changing things around, saying that his son-in-law is coming to visit. And this morning, everyone saw Xu Meili return with her son. How could anyone miss such excitement?
Their divorce caused a sensation in the surrounding villages. Back then, it was rare for couples to divorce and remarry, especially in the village.
The ex-wife and the current wife are together, and they both have their own sons. This is quite a show, you have to see it for yourself.
In addition, everyone was also curious to see what Su Lingwu's boyfriend looked like.
She was being pressured into marriage by the Ma family not long ago, and now, not long after, someone is already coming to propose.
"Everyone, please make way and don't block the entrance." Uncle Su arrived with his three sons.
Su Xiangnan already knew Fu Linchuan, so he was accompanying the guests.
Uncle Su also wanted to support his niece and prevent people from looking down on the Su family or thinking that Su Lingwu was easy to bully. After all, she has three older brothers.
However, seeing Fu Linchuan arrive in a car still surprised him.
This……
As far as he knew, the county party secretary's car was a Jeep.
This is clearly not right. Who is this leader?
"Distinguished guests have arrived, Second Brother, come out quickly." Uncle Su realized that the person who came this time was no ordinary person.
Even Su Lingwu was stunned. Didn't Fu Linchuan say that his family wouldn't be coming?
Uncle Su was accompanied by his three sons, Su Wu, Su Lingwu, and Xu Meili, with Zhao Guoyao by his side. Du Lijuan was holding Su Zicheng's hand, and Su Lingtang was standing behind them. Seeing such a grand scene, Uncle Su felt very uncomfortable.
Her engagement was quiet and reserved, while Su Lingwu's engagement, just like her personality, was flamboyant and lively.
The car stopped.
Fu Linchuan got out of the car first, opened the door for the person inside, and whispered, "Uncle, be careful, don't scare my wife."
"You brat, you're going to get a beating when you get home!"
The uncle and nephew whispered to each other, but wore polite smiles on their faces.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, Aunt Du, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Lingwu, let me introduce you. This is my uncle, Shen Zhiyan, and this is our county party secretary, Secretary Liu."
"Uncle, let me introduce you. This is my father-in-law, this is my mother-in-law, this is Uncle Su and Aunt Su, and these are Uncle Su's three older brothers. This is Aunt Du and her daughter, these two are my brother-in-law, and this is Su Lingwu, your nephew's wife."
Fu Linchuan glanced at the Su family members and immediately recognized them. He had met most of them once before. He was seeing the little boy next to his mother-in-law, Xu Meili, for the first time, but it wasn't hard to guess. Moreover, he looked somewhat like Su Lingwu, so he must be his brother-in-law.
"Hello, Uncle. Hello, Secretary Liu." Su Lingwu greeted the two of them with a smile.
A knowing look flashed in both Shen Zhiyan's and Secretary Liu's eyes.
It's true what they say, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. No wonder he was in such a hurry to marry her.
This girl's appearance is indeed very attractive.
They had seen quite a few beautiful girls, but none of them could have imagined that one could outshine the girl in front of them.
Shen Zhiyan was the first to recover. "Father-in-law, I am the children's uncle. I work in the provincial capital. I heard about the children's situation and came here in person today."
"I apologize to you first. My sister and brother-in-law should have been present for the marriage proposal, but they were too busy with work to attend. My nephew is young and impulsive, and he doesn't know his place. He didn't inform the family in advance so that both sides could make time to meet in person. I know this has wronged my daughter."
"But don't worry, it's the same with me here. Feel free to make any requests you have. Don't be shy. I'm here to make sure the wedding is arranged properly for the two young people. I will make sure your daughter doesn't suffer any grievances."
Shen Zhiyan only just found out that his nephew had secretly gotten married without telling his family.
He actually learned about such a big thing from someone else.
I really want to teach this kid a lesson. He made such a big decision about getting married without consulting me first.
They certainly don't know about this in the capital yet.
He still doesn't know how to explain it to his sister.
That brat, he's always getting into trouble.
When Secretary Liu went to the provincial capital to report on his work, he inadvertently mentioned that Fu Linchuan was also here, had taken a liking to a girl from their area, and had even gotten a marriage certificate. He said that this was truly a case of fate bringing them together from afar.
Shen Zhiyan immediately contacted Fu Linchuan to learn the whole story. He knew he couldn't blame his nephew, since they had already had a relationship and he couldn't shirk responsibility.
He immediately packed his things and drove over with Fu Linchuan.
Fu Linchuan originally wanted to give Su Lingwu face by having Secretary Liu accompany him to the Su family, but unexpectedly, his uncle also came.
When the Su family heard that Fu Linchuan's uncle was a provincial leader, they were even more at a loss. They had never met such a high-ranking leader in their lives. What should they say?
Fortunately, Uncle Su had some experience and quickly picked up the conversation, "Oh dear, please come in, leaders. Your personal visit is enough to show how much you value my niece. What more could we ask for? As long as Lin Chuan treats my niece well, nothing else matters."
"Huh?"
"Why call me 'leader'? My role today is that of the groom's uncle." Shen Zhiyan's gaze swept over the Su family members, taking in their expressions.
"Yes, I'm the matchmaker here today, so please don't be so polite and reserved," Secretary Liu said with a smile, trying to ease the tension.
"Uncle-in-law, Secretary Liu, let's come inside and have a chat."
The group entered the main room, which was already small, and instantly became crowded.
Su Wu regretted not building a bigger house back then.
Xu Meili took her daughter to make tea, and this was her daughter's chance to shine.
"Uncle, Secretary Liu, please have some tea. This is homemade Scutellaria baicalensis tea. It can relieve summer heat, clear the lungs and stop coughing, and also calm the nerves and relieve fatigue. It's perfect for drinking now."
"Since you made this yourself, I'd better have a good taste." Shen Zhiyan saw that Su Lingwu spoke clearly and without any fear when she spoke to him, and thought to himself that she was a bold girl.
"Oh, right, my daughter has been tinkering with these flowers and plants lately, and I didn't expect them to taste so good. You guys should try them."
Su Wu initially thought his daughter's interest in reading and learning medicine was just a passing fancy and that she would forget about it after a couple of days. However, he was surprised to find that she not only read a book every day but also went up the mountain to collect all sorts of random things and tinkered with them.
"Hmm, not bad!"
"The tea soup is golden and clear. It has a slightly bitter taste at first, followed by a herbal aroma. The refreshing and sweet flavor lingers in the throat. It's a fine tea!"
"Since Uncle and Secretary Liu like it, I'll pack some for you to take back later. However, this Scutellaria baicalensis tea is cold in nature. It's okay to drink it occasionally in the summer, but you can't drink too much, as it can easily damage your spleen and stomach."
"You also have some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine?" Shen Zhiyan looked at Su Lingwu with a hint of surprise.
Even Fu Linchuan only found out recently.
I thought this girl's only outstanding feature was her appearance, but I didn't expect her to have inner beauty as well.
"Uncle, I only recently became interested in traditional Chinese medicine. I've just started learning, and I think since I'm still young, it's always good to learn more. There's no end to learning, after all."
"Hmm, that's a good idea." Shen Zhiyan nodded in satisfaction. As long as she's not just a pretty face with no substance, that's enough.
"Oh my, this trip was totally worth it! I even got some good stuff to take back with me. You're too modest, girl. Your tea is just as good as my top-grade tea. I suppose you're a girl who can learn anything well. Study traditional Chinese medicine well, because I might need to see you for treatment in the future."
Secretary Liu praised Su Lingwu with a smile.
"Secretary Liu, you're praising me so much, I'm about to get carried away!"
"Haha, you little rascal..."
Everyone laughed. Fu Linchuan lowered his head and took a couple of sips of tea. It was indeed quite good; his eyes were smiling, and it had given him a pleasant surprise.
He thought she was only good at hitting people, since every time he saw her, she was slapping people.
"We've finished our tea, so let's talk about the bride price now, since that's the most important purpose of this visit," Secretary Liu said, taking advantage of the pleasant atmosphere.
In most families, the topic of betrothal gifts is so heated that people blush with embarrassment when proposing marriage. However, the Fu family is not stingy.
"This is the betrothal gift I prepared. Mom and Dad, please check if there's anything missing, and I'll go and make up for it immediately."
Fu Linchuan placed the prepared items on the table.
The Su family was stunned when they saw these things.
