After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

Lin Zhilan: "Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you outside."

Yan Yuan came out quickly, holding a large pile of loose banknotes in his hands.

They're all small receipts worth one or five cents, or one or five mao.

They stacked up to form a thick pile.

Yan Yuan handed her the money. "Auntie, please count this. Here's five yuan. Can I buy some medicine for my grandfather? He often has leg pain."

The seaside has a large temperature difference between day and night, and the sea breeze is humid. In addition, fishermen work in the water for long periods of time, and their joints are repeatedly stimulated by the damp and cold, making them prone to rheumatic diseases.

Many people of Grandpa Yan Yuan's age no longer go to sea.

But for the sake of his grandson, Grandpa Yan Yuan still endured the pain and insisted on going to sea.

Yan Yuan felt sorry for his grandfather. Hearing that Aunt Lin's medicine was effective, he had been trying to save money to buy more medicine.

Lin Zhilan bent down and patted his head. "Yan Yuan, are you and your auntie friends now?"

Yan Yuan nodded, his eyes shining.

"Then I won't charge you for this medicine; consider it a gift from me, okay?"

Yan Yuan pursed his lips. "Auntie, I have money. I can earn money."

Lin Zhilan suddenly realized that her seemingly "kind" behavior might have hurt the boy's strong sense of self-esteem.

She smiled and immediately corrected herself, "I misspoke. It wasn't a gift. Auntie also has something she'd like you to help her with. She's asking for your help in getting the medicine, in exchange for your labor. Is that alright?"

Yan Yuan was somewhat skeptical. "What can I do to help Auntie?"

"Hmm... Auntie, this medicine is selling so well, the Traditional Chinese Medicine department is completely overwhelmed. Could you come to the department and help me grind the medicine?"

Yan Yuan lowered his head in disappointment. "Jiang Chengzhou can do it too."

There's no need to call him.

Lin Zhilan blinked and whispered, "You know, Chengzhou is too lively, he can't sit still at all."

Yan Yuan was skeptical.

Lin Zhilan smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, come to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department tomorrow and get some medicine while you're at it, okay?"

Yan Yuan then nodded.

After leaving the Yan family, Lin Zhilan went to the house of the adults who had saved the two children that day to express her gratitude and also brought them some pastries she had made.

These people were only doing a small favor, and seeing how polite Lin Zhilan was, they felt a little embarrassed. "Dr. Lin, don't worry, if your son goes to the beach again, we will definitely send him back."

"Thank you very much."

You're welcome, you're welcome.

When Lin Zhilan returned home, little Linlin stood there, seemingly holding nothing in her mouth, and called out, "Hello, Mom?"

Lin Zhilan laughed and said, "Our baby can even make phone calls now?"

"Mmm," Linlin tilted her head, her eyelashes fluttering like little fans, "I'm going to call Grandma."

"Grandma?"

When Linlin was born, the original owner's parents had already passed away. She called Zheng Hui "Grandma". Where did this "Grandma" come from?

Jiang Chengzhou secretly looked away.

His maternal grandmother always wanted to take him away, but Jiang Chengzhou didn't want his aunt to know.

"Dr. Lin, there's a phone for you at the gatehouse. They'll call back in ten minutes. Remember to answer it." A young soldier's voice came from outside.

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

Lin Zhilan turned her head and looked at Jiang Chengzhou, hoping that he would explain himself.

Unable to withstand his aunt's gaze, Jiang Chengzhou had no choice but to honestly say, "Grandma called me and wants my eldest uncle to pick me up and take me to the capital."

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes again. "Auntie, I promise I'll never make the same mistake again. Please don't let them come to pick me up, okay?"

Lin Zhilan sighed. This child is usually so carefree, how come he takes this matter so seriously?

"Chengzhou, didn't your aunt say that this is your home, and no one has the right to kick you out?"

Jiang Chengzhou wiped away his tears with his sleeve, "Then tell Grandma."

"it is good."

Lin Zhilan was also a little nervous when it came to answering the phone.

Su Lang had mentioned his family situation, but the two sides had never been in contact.

Lin Zhilan could probably guess that Su Lang's family was not satisfied with her identity.

However, since Su Lang has married her, this is a problem that Su Lang should solve.

Lin Zhilan had no intention of trying to please her in-laws.

However, she also did not want to cause conflict.

Now that Su Lang isn't here, if the other side's attitude isn't good, Lin Zhilan really won't know how to handle the situation.

After waiting in the reception room for a while, the phone rang.

Lin Zhilan took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Kobayashi? This is your mother."

The woman's voice on the other end of the phone was kind and friendly, and Lin Zhilan's guard relaxed slightly. "Hello, Mom."

Xu Yueyun was just as nervous, but didn't know what to say, so she could only say, "I just talked to Linlin, she's very cute."

Lin Zhilan chuckled, "Thank you."

"I have to apologize to you. I'm not feeling well, and it was very disrespectful of my family for you to marry Su Lang. I sent you and the child some things, as well as a registered letter. Please remember to pick it up when the time comes."

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

Xu Yueyun hesitated for a long time before saying, "Xiao Lin, Su Lang isn't home. It must be hard for you to take care of the two children by yourself. Why don't you send Cheng Zhou over?"

Lin Zhilan turned her head and saw Jiang Chengzhou staring at her intently, as if he would cry in front of her if she said yes.

"Mom, it's not hard work. Chengzhou is a very sensible boy, and I like him very much. If you miss him, when Su Lang has time off, our whole family will come to see you."

"That works too," Xu Yueyun said with a forced smile. "Xiao Lin, if he misbehaves, you should teach him properly. We don't hit children in our family."

Lin Zhilan wanted to say that she doesn't hit her children, but it seems she did today.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law weren't familiar with each other yet, so they exchanged a few polite words and hung up the phone.

Jiang Chengzhou heard his aunt reject his maternal grandmother with his own ears, and he felt relieved and returned to his carefree life.

The next day at work, Ye Congshan and Lin Zijun immediately surrounded Lin Zhilan, asking, "Is Chengzhou alright?"

Lin Zhilan: "It's okay. I drank ginger soup yesterday, and I'm still lively and energetic today."

"That's good."

Jiang Chengzhou is cheerful, and Linlin is lively. Ye Congshan and Lin Zijun both like these two children very much. If something had really happened yesterday, they would have felt bad.

When Yan Yuan arrived, there were still people queuing in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department. When they saw him go in, they quickly grabbed his shoulder.

"Kid, can't you see how many people are here? Go to the back and join the line!"

Yan Yuan stopped in his tracks and tried to walk back.

Lin Zhilan had been waiting for him. Hearing the voice, she came out and waved, "Yan Yuan, come here."

"Dr. Lin, is this your child? He doesn't look like him."

Lin Zhilan laughed and said, "My little apprentice is too busy, so I call him to help grind the medicine. Otherwise, where would I get so many ointments for you?"

Everyone laughed.

Lin Zhilan pushed Yan Yuan inside.

Lin Zijun was applying medicine to the patient, while Ye Congshan was grinding medicinal powder.

Lin Zhilan pushed Yan Yuan forward, "Dr. Ye, here, I've found you a good helper."

Ye Congshan looked up, adjusted his glasses with the back of his hand, and said, "Oh, it's a kid. You know how to do this?"

Yan Yun replied earnestly, "I can learn."
