Fan Shili brought the unremarkable health wine back home and drank a cup before going to bed.
Mrs. Fan saw that he was drinking an unknown liquid and was shocked. She asked, “Ol Fan, what are you drinking? Don’t be drinking unknown stuff. It’ll harm your body.” Then, she picked up the bottle on the table and sniffed it. She said in confusion, “This… why does it smell like wine?”
Fan Shili said, “Don’t I have insomnia and nightmares? I went to see an old Chinese doctor, and she recommended this fruit wine to me. She said it could treat insomnia.”
Mrs. Fan said in doubt, “Is that true?” She had always believed in Chinese medicine, so her suspicion lowered.
Fan Shili nodded and said, “Yes, it is.” He sniffed and said in disbelief, “Although this is normal fruit wine, it smells so good.” He took another sip, and his eyes widened in surprise, “It smells good and tastes even better. Honey, come, have a taste too!” He handed a cup to his wife.
They had a very good relationship. They were loving and respectful of each other.
Mrs. Fan also smelled the fragrance. When her husband passed her the cup, she took a sip. Then, she said in surprise, “Why does this fruit wine smell so good? I feel warm and comfortable after drinking it.”
Fan Shili’s eyes lit up as he asked anxiously, “Do you feel that too?”
“Yes. This wine is not bad,” commented Mrs. Fan.
Fan Shili said, “In that case, you should finish the cup. The Chinese doctor said that this wine will help with sleep.” Since it was fruit wine, anyone should be able to drink it. After the couple drank the cup of wine, they fell asleep.
Fan Shili slept like a baby!
…
Yan Yiqing complained to his wife in their bedroom, “What’s wrong with this Fan Shili? Why would he stop listening to me about Taoyuan Village?”
His wife immediately asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”
Outside the door, Yan Siming came to look for his father because he wanted to tell him about the shareholder’s meeting.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he keenly heard the words “Taoyuan Village”.
Yan Yiqing said, “Hasn’t our son been obsessed with a country girl? He even contradicted Father for her.”
Mrs. Yan frowned slightly and said, “But wasn’t that a few months ago? Our son stops mentioning her. Besides, according to him, the girl is now married. Why would our son care about her anymore?”
Yan Yiqing became angry at the mention of this.
He said angrily, “Who knows what he’s thinking about? Regardless, he must still be hung up over that country girl. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have deliberately ruined the blind dates we set him on.”
Mrs. Yan said somewhat helplessly, “Just because our son isn’t willing to go on blind dates doesn’t mean that he still thinks about that country girl.” Mrs. Yan then asked curiously, “Speaking of which, why did you suddenly bring that girl up?”
“I heard that the girl was trying to set up a project in her hometown some time ago.”
“What project that it’d reach your ears?” Mrs. Yan asked curiously.
“Doesn’t that girl live in the Taoyuan Village? I heard that the scenery there is very good and the girl has some means. She plans to develop the village into a tourist destination.” Yan Yiqing said lightly. This was a trivial matter. It wasn’t worth mentioning.
“Is the girl that capable?” Mrs. Yan was still a little surprised after hearing it.
Yan Yiqing said with some disdain, “Of course, she isn’t. I heard from Father that she had married a husband with a certain status. This is probably because of her husband.” He didn’t think the woman had any capability.
Mrs. Yan frowned and asked curiously, “What kind of family did that girl marry into? Dad clearly knows the girl’s in-law, but why wouldn’t he tell us?”
Yan Yiqing frowned and said, “It’s probably a family with some power. However, since father doesn’t want to talk about it, it’s probably not worth mentioning.” That was what he believed.
Mrs. Yan felt that it was a little strange. Mrs. Yan asked again, “If that girl wants to do a project, then let her do it. Why are you angry?”
“How can I let her do it?” Yan Yiqing said, “If she succeeds and becomes rich, then she will abandon her current husband and stick to our son! What will we do then?
“Our son won’t marry anyone but her. If not for Father stopping him, he would have married her already. How could the Yan Family accept a divorced daughter-in-law from the countryside? Where will we put our face?”
Mrs. Yan said somewhat helplessly, “Hubby, aren’t you being too careful? Is that girl so scheming?”
“We have to be prepared for anything!” Yan Yiqing said very seriously.
Mrs. Yan sighed lightly and then asked, “Then what exactly did you do?” Mrs. Yan was actually dissatisfied with the country girl who seduced her son. The girl hadn’t married into the Yan family yet, but she had stirred up the Yan family and made her son, Yan Yiming, go against his grandfather every day. If she really entered the Yan Family, there would be chaos.
Mrs. Yan did not try to persuade her husband to intervene in this matter. She was just a little curious.
Yan Yiqing said, “After I heard about it, I told Fan Shili not to approve it.”
Bang!
The bedroom was forcefully pushed in.
Yan Yiqing and Mrs. Yan turned around and saw Yan Siming walking in aggressively.
Yan Siming’s eyes were filled with anger. He looked at Yan Yiqing and said loudly, “Yan Yiqing, you’ve gone too far!”
“How dare you!” Yan Yiqing was furious when he heard his son call his name without even calling him father. “How can you call your father directly by his name?”
Yan Siming retorted sharply, “I don’t have a father who goes around bullying a woman with dirty tricks.”
Yan Yiqing’s face was livid with anger. He raised his hand and was about to slap him.
Mrs. Yan immediately stopped her husband and said to Yan Siming, “Ming ‘Er, you’ve gone too far. No matter what, this is your father.”
Yan Siming said angrily, “I’m only telling the truth.”
Yan Yiqing, who had been repeatedly criticized by his son, shouted angrily, “Yan Siming, who am I doing this for? Ah? If not for you, do you think I would be willing to lower myself to deal with a country girl?”
Yan Yiqing was really angry. He could now fully understand how his father felt when his son had contradicted his father back then.
Yan Siming said loudly, “Why don’t you people understand? She’s already married and has children now. I won’t have any improper thoughts toward her anymore. We’re just ordinary friends now.”
“Let me tell you, Yan Siming, you can be friends with anyone, but you can’t be friends with her!” Yan Yiqing said very sternly.
Yan Siming, Father Yan, and Grandfather Yan were all stubborn and tyrannical men.
Yan Siming looked at Father Yan as if he was spitting fire. If this old man weren’t his father, he would have already ordered people to throw him into the river.
“You guys are unbelievable!” Yan Siming said loudly and turned to leave the bedroom. However, after leaving the bedroom, he warned them sternly, “You’d better not touch her anymore. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Seeing his son leave in anger, Yan Yiqing was furious.
“Look, look, this is your good son! Listen to what he said just now.” Yan Yiqing was angry at Mrs. Yan, “He was rude to me because of a woman. This is your good son.”
Mrs. Yan was also angry. She said sharply, “Yan Yiqing, that is also your son!”
