The carriage stopped in front of the Lin medicine shop.
Lin Yuelan jumped down from the carriage and stood in front of it. She said to Lin Deshan casually, “Grandpa, we’re here.”
Lin Deshan opened the door and got out. He stroked his beard with one hand and said to Lin Yuelan excitedly and happily, “granddaughter, let Grandpa introduce you to the shop, and let Xiao Lin and the others get to know the future owner of the shop.”
The conversation shocked the surrounding people. Why were they calling each other grandfather and granddaughter?
Shopkeeper Lin disappeared for a few days, and now he had a granddaughter?
This granddaughter of his was none other than the Lin family Village’s famous jinx.
Shopkeeper Lin’s surname was Lin, and the Lin family Village’s jinx was also surnamed Lin. Could they really be related?
However, even though shopkeeper Lin’s surname was Lin, he was not even close to the Lin family Village. What did he have to do with the children of the Lin family Village?
The surrounding people were confused.
However, Lin Deshan turned around and cupped his fists. He said to the crowd in a loud and excited voice, “dear neighbors and fellow villagers, I have good news to share with you.”
As he said this, he brought Lin Yuelan to the front and said, “I, Lin Deshan, have a granddaughter now, and she is Lin Yuelan.”
Lin Deshan’s words shocked everyone again.
The Lin family Village’s jinx had really become shopkeeper Lin’s granddaughter.
It was too surprising.
Someone asked loudly, “shopkeeper Lin, from what I know, this child is from the Lin family Village, right? She is a jinx, so why did you become her grandfather? We all know that you have no relationship with the Lin family Village, right?”
Lin Deshan’s expression changed when he heard this. He said in an unpleasant tone, “What nonsense are you talking about? This granddaughter of mine is still not of age and has yet to marry a man. To say that she brings bad luck to her husband is too absurd. Since she hasn’t even married, how can she jinx her husband?
“Besides, have you all seen my granddaughter jinx her family before? Or did you guys just hear it from rumors and believe that my granddaughter is a jinx?
“I’ve been living in the Lin family Village all this time, and I’ve seen her relatives with my own eyes. They’re all alive and kicking, so how could she be a jinx? And all of you are really narrow-minded. My granddaughter is not even connected to you. Even if she curses her husband and family, it won’t be on you, so why do you have to say such hurtful words?”
Lin Deshan was also a very protective person.
Since Lin yuelan was already his granddaughter, he wouldn’t allow anyone to say anything bad about her.
As soon as Lin Deshan’s words fell, the surrounding crowd thought about it and agreed with him.
The Lin family Village’s jinx had nothing to do with them. Even if this child really did bring bad luck to her husband and family, it would not affect them.
Was there a need for them to treat a child like this?
Lin Yuelan’s clear eyes swept over the crowd, whose expressions had changed. She was a little surprised.
The people of ancient times were still relatively simple, but they were somewhat superstitious and believed in what they heard.
However, they couldn’t be blamed for this. Superstitions still existed in some backward rural areas even after thousands of years.
Lin Deshan saw the change in everyone’s expressions and his voice softened. He continued, “I know you’re all very curious about my granddaughter and me. Then I won’t hide it from everyone.
“Everyone knows that I, Lin Deshan, have no wife, no children, and am all alone. It’s just that when one is old, sometimes one wishes for a happy and peaceful old age with someone to accompany them. As for this girl, although she had a close relative before, they cut off her off three years ago. She’s also a lonely orphan. I have fate with her, so under the witness of the Lin family Village, we acknowledge each other as grandparent and grandchild.
“From now on, I have a granddaughter, and the two of us have become the closest family.”
