Chen Lin misunderstood, thinking that Lin Shuyou wanted her to leave earlier. She lowered her head and softly said:
"I'll go back with Yunyun."
On the distant village road, Tan Wenbin rode a bike with Zhou Yunyun sitting behind, holding his waist. The two chatted and laughed, feeling very happy and relaxed.
The feelings between young people can be quite simple; a bicycle and a path full of rapeseed flowers are enough to make them feel content.
As they approached the dam, the two grew reserved again.
After greeting everyone, Tan Wenbin went inside, lay in the coffin, took out his big brother's mobile phone, and called Xue Liangliang.
Once connected, the conversation flowed smoothly.
Once the diving champion of Nantong, he had long been unable to get close to the Yangtze River he longed for day and night, so he placed extra importance on sending longing thoughts; regular deliverymen couldn't and wouldn't dare undertake this delivery service.
Tan Wenbin suggested that having only one big brother's mobile phone was inconvenient, to which Xue Liangliang discontentedly replied: "Next time just say it directly. Problems that money can solve aren't problems at all."
After hanging up, just as he was about to climb out of the coffin, a new call came in from Lu Yi.
"Binbin."
"Brother Lu, what's up?"
"There's a message saying you should find time to go to the riverbank."
"Oh, alright, I got it. How's business at the store lately?"
"After expanding, business is even better."
The second floor, originally a student activity room, was leased and converted into a billiard room and video hall. Previously, the store only catered to this life area of the school, but now students from other areas come here specifically to spend money.
Of course, ordinary people definitely couldn't operate like this; it was against the rules and easily criticized. Yet, the business license still bore the name "Xue Liangliang," who continuously donated to the school, so the school turned a blind eye to small matters like this.
After dinner, Tan Wenbin drove the family's small pickup truck out. As for baby supplies, he directly went to Big Beard's house to ask Xiao Yingying for them.
Xiong Shan and Lihua are not overly attentive to the child now, but Deadman is truly dedicated to the child, choosing the best for eating, drinking, and daily needs.
With her wages, she surely couldn't cover these expenses; it's estimated she sold some of the accompanying burial goods for money.
That person must be aware but turns a blind eye, after all, it is a child named by them personally.
After seeing Beng Beng, Tan Wenbin carried the items out, sat in the car, and as he started the engine, his tear glands were activated.
Ever since the weight lifted from his shoulders, there's been a persistent emptiness in his heart, to which he is unaccustomed.
Yet, considering that those two children have now reincarnated into wealthy families and are enjoying life, he feels a great sense of comfort.
Driving to the riverbank, a familiar spot.
He brought the items down, first waved the yellow paper, throwing it into the river, and then threw in the gift that represented his feelings.
Soon, a vortex appeared, absorbing all the gifts.
Xue Liangliang is not short of money, and the Bai family town does not lack such items, sending gifts is merely a formality, meant to alleviate the pain of longing.
The water curtain rose, a silver-white figure of the Bai Family Lady emerged and finally stepped onto the river's surface.
As the water curtain fell, she deliberately revealed her form in front of Tan Wenbin.
"Master."
"Sister-in-law."
Both greeted each other in their own way.
Tan Wenbin pointed to his eyes and said, "Tighten your clothes a bit, let me see if you show."
The Bai Family Lady compliantly grabbed the edges of her garments and pulled them back, revealing a slightly rounded belly.
This child was really hard-earned.
The image of a black python flickered in Tan Wenbin's eyes: "Turn around, let me take a few more photos, I'll send them to Brother Liangliang later to make him happy too."
The Bai Family Lady nodded and started turning around.
After taking the photos, Tan Wenbin rubbed his slightly sore eyes; for clearer and more detailed photos, the eyes consume more energy.
After handling personal affairs, Tan Wenbin asked, "Did you notify me?"
"Yes."
The Bai Family Lady clapped her hands.
Beside her, eight coffins of varying colors and sizes slowly emerged, forming a circle. Chains locked within bound a huge spiritual figure.
Tan Wenbin: "Soul General?"
Bai Family Lady: "Yes."
Before the old man entered Nantong, he left his strongest Soul General outside. Now, this Soul General was captured by the Bai Family.
The original agreement was for help in finding someone, but since it involved Corpse Recovery Li, the old man's identity naturally became void.
"Destroy it."
"Yes."
The eight coffins began to extend outward, and the Soul General's body gradually broke apart.
Tan Wenbin stood on the shore, witnessing the entire process. They were showing their stance, and he was responsible for appreciating it.
Afterwards, the Bai Family Lady said:
"Master, our Bai family town is willing to provide people to punish the Lu Family's offense."
Tan Wenbin understood, his eyes turned cold in a tacit agreement.
No longer needing to put on an act, he revealed the original Snake Eyes pure and simple.
"If you can't control your people, I'll discipline them for you. The audacity!"
With that, Tan Wenbin turned and left.
The Bai Family Lady bowed in farewell, a trace of an indeterminate smile at the corner of her mouth.
Her long pregnancy left her in a very low state, and her deterrent power over those below gradually weakened, but fortunately, she had external support.
The following two days passed very quietly.
Because he had to prepare to receive Zhao Yi and his party, Tan Wenbin couldn't go to Jinling, and since it's not a holiday Yunyun wouldn't come back, so Tan Wenbin personally sought out his prospective father-in-law to have him call the school and ask for a family visit leave for Zhou Yunyun under the excuse of illness.
Zhou Yunyun didn't expect such an unpromising matter to be agreed to so easily by her father.
Business at Li Sanjiang's house has been good lately, and Lin Shuyou actively follows Run Sheng on delivery runs.
One time, after making a delivery, they passed the snack street in Shigang Town. Run Sheng stopped to buy some skewers, instructing the vendor to add extra spicy seasoning.
Lin Shuyou, feeling a bit hungry, but with a light taste, just bought a few pancakes, eating while pulling the cart, and only had one left when arriving home.
Yin Meng came up to dust Run Sheng off, and Run Sheng handed her a bag of skewers.
Lin Shuyou: "..."
Chen Lin, now, also prepared a large piece of cloth, learning from Yin Meng, took from Lin Shuyou...a large pancake.
"Hahaha!"
Seated on the dam near them, Tan Wenbin laughed until tears came out, yelling:
"My parents weren't this down-to-earth when they were dating!"
The next morning, Tan Wenbin sat beside Liu Yumei, watching her play cards. The big brother's mobile phone rang, and he answered it, immediately greeted by a cold and aloof voice:
"I have reached the Nantong Territory, Mr. Tan Daban, come to greet me."
Liu Yumei played a card and casually asked; "Who is it, speaking with such authority."
Zhao Yi on the other end paused, a sense of foreboding rising from within.
Tan Wenbin: "It's the one who wanted to set up a marriage contract for our Alii back then."
Zhao Yi: "..."
