Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

The two old men surnamed Wang and Cui discovered that Song Lan was a good student and naturally did not want to fall behind. They talked to Song Lan one by one, telling him the benefits of studying physics and chemistry, and how wonderful physics and chemistry were.

Seeing that the two were trying hard to persuade him, Song Lan found it funny and promised to learn from them when he had time.

The only one left was an old man named Zhang. He looked at Song Lan for a moment and said, "How about Grandpa Zhang teach you some martial arts?"

Song Lan was slightly startled, then nodded: "Okay."

She didn't need anyone to teach her kung fu, but the expectation in the old man's eyes was really something Song Lan could not ignore. Based on this, and not wanting to disappoint the old man, Song Lan finally agreed.

The elderly people present were all doing this for her own good, and it would be hard to justify it if she didn't appreciate it.

About quarter of an hour later, Song Lan said goodbye.

During this time, she repeated what she had said at the Xiao family to Shen Lanxuan, Li Guoliang and other elders. As expected, Shen Lanxuan and others were also excited, and the corners of their mouths trembled.

Confirming that what Song Lan said was true, these old men couldn't help but wipe their eyes.

"Grandpa Shen, Grandpa Li, Grandpa Wang..."

Song Lan called Shen Lanxuan and the others one by one, and said with a smile: "Take care of yourselves. I will come back to the village more often in the future. On the one hand, I will learn from you, and on the other hand, I will check your pulse. This way, when you return to your original jobs, you will have a healthy body and continue to shine for our country."

Upon hearing her words, Shen Lanxuan and several other old men laughed out loud. Shen Lanxuan said, "Okay, okay, if there is such an opportunity, it would be an honor for us old men!"

"Then I'm leaving!"

Song Lan waved to the elderly people and said, "See you later. Don't be reluctant to eat the things I brought. Nothing is more important than health."

Shen Lanxuan and the others smiled kindly and nodded one after another. They sent Song Lan out the door and did not turn back to the house until Song Lan and Xiao Yu disappeared.

"Come to my house and sit for a while?"

Walking quickly to the door of the Xiao family's thatched cottage, Xiao Yu said something softly. Hearing this, Song Lan shook her head and said, "It's getting darker and earlier today. I haven't had a good talk with my parents since I came back today. I want to spend more time with them in the afternoon, and then I have to rush back to the machinery factory."

After a pause, Song Lan said, "Don't save the tonic pills anymore. It's very convenient for me to make medicine myself, and the herbs can be picked directly on the mountain. There is no cost at all. But if you continue to save for your family like before, you will definitely have serious health problems in the future. What should I do then?"

“Although there is no shortage of medicinal herbs in the mountains, they still need people to pick them. Moreover, some medicinal herbs are not easy to find, especially precious herbs like wild ginseng.”

Xiao Yu said seriously, "The tonic pills you made have such good effects, so they must have contained a lot of precious herbs. I... I don't want you to go to the mountains to look for herbs like wild ginseng... and get into trouble."

"You know my skills, and do you think it will happen to me?"

If she didn't have any brains, how could she lead thousands of troops, never be defeated on the battlefield, and flatten the entire grassland in just a few years?

Seeing the confidence in Song Lan's eyes, Xiao Yu said, "Even a good horse can stumble sometimes."

"If you say that, I'll feel like you're cursing me, Prime Minister Xiao."

Song Lan was teasing him on purpose. Hearing this, Xiao Yu shook his head repeatedly: "That's not true."

Even if he cursed himself, he would not curse the person in front of him!

After all, she was more important to him than anyone else. Even his family members from two lifetimes were not as important as her in his heart...

Xiao Yu will never forget what happened on his way to Beijing for the imperial examination in his previous life, and he will never forget what happened if it were not for the kindness shown to him by the young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

It can be said that if there was no such person in front of him, there would be no Prime Minister Xiao of the Great Xia Dynasty, and there would be no Xiao Yu today.

Therefore, he didn't want her to have any accidents in this life!

Seeing Xiao Yu's anxious expression, obviously worried that she wouldn't believe him, Song Lan couldn't help but smile: "I'm just kidding you, don't take it seriously."

"What I said before is the truth. If you can avoid going into the mountains, it's best not to go. When I first came here, I heard from the villagers that there are many big guys in the mountains. Even if you are very skilled, you are only one person after all. Once you encounter a group of big guys, the consequences will be disastrous."

Xiao Yu said this with a solemn expression. Facing him like this, Song Lan felt warm in her heart and thought that Xiao Xiang of the past was particularly cute and a little funny. She cleared her throat and teased him again: "To be honest, why do I feel like you are really cursing me?"

Hearing Song Lan say this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be stunned. When he came to his senses, he said: "You..."

However, there was no further conversation for a long while.

Well, I didn’t know how to put it. He really didn’t mean to curse her at all. He just said that out of concern!

Song Lan laughed out loud at the man's tangled and helpless expression: "You are quite similar to my lover, you can't stand being teased. Every time I tease him, he rushes to explain. When I pretend to be unhappy and don't listen to his explanation, you show up like this now, tangled and restless."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's ears turned red and his heart felt sore.

He knew that Song Lan must be living a happy life, otherwise, she would not have mentioned the warm scenes between her and her other half so readily in front of him.

Envy?

The answer is yes.

But what can envy do?

It seemed like he and she were destined to be apart... otherwise, why did they miss each other in both lives?

Xiao Yu suppressed the bitter feeling in his heart and said solemnly, "I know I can't persuade you, but please promise me that if you must go into the mountains to collect herbs, remember to call me. One more person means more safety, okay?"

"With your body, you can be blown down by a gust of wind..."

Before Song Lan could finish, Xiao Yu interrupted, "I have been learning boxing since I was young. My grandfather arranged for someone to teach me. Later, during the winter and summer vacations, my grandfather threw me into the team for training. Don't worry, I promise not to hold you back!"

There is no need to think too much. The grandfather Xiao Yu mentioned refers to Old Man Xiao. To be more specific, the original owner of this body has been learning military boxing since he was a child. When he officially went to school, during the winter and summer vacations,

He would be thrown into the team by his family to train with the new recruits. But then again, although Xiao Yu had trained a lot, he only knew some martial arts, and his skills could not be compared with those of Chen Dongsheng, Zhao Yunzhen and other people of the same age in the compound.

On the one hand, my physical condition is not very good.

On the other hand, there are people of the same age as Chen Dongsheng and Zhao Yunzhen in the compound. In addition to being thrown into the team for training by their families during the winter and summer vacations when they were in school, they later became direct members of the team.

Daily training is a compulsory course. Unlike the original owner, Xiao Yu, who graduated from university and stayed on to teach in school, he followed the path of a cultured person.

"Okay, okay, okay. I got it. Whenever I go into the mountains to collect herbs, I will definitely ask you to come with me."

Since coming to this world, Song Lan has been to the mountains many times. To be honest, she has not encountered any particularly ferocious creatures. She believes that with her skills, if she really encounters man-eating beasts such as tigers, wolves, wild boars, etc. during the herb-picking period, she can keep herself and Xiao Yu safe.

Even if she lacks strength, she still has the medicinal powder she made herself.

In short, it is impossible for her to become a meal for the beast!

What's more, her space is not just for show, and the bows and other weapons in the space are not just for decoration. Let alone dealing with one or two or several big guys, even if facing a group of them, knocking them down is just a piece of cake!

Xiao Yu said seriously and solemnly: "Then let's make a deal, you can't go back on your word!"

Song Lan smiled playfully: "Could it be that in Xiao Xiang's heart, I am a person who does not keep his word?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "I was worried that you forgot."

Xiao Yu deliberately put emphasis on the word "forgot".

Song Lan shook her head in amusement: "I can't forget it. I have a good memory!"

She had a photographic memory, and this ability was known to everyone in her family except outsiders. And the Prime Minister Xiao in front of her undoubtedly didn't know it, so he emphasized it to her.

Xiao Yu felt uncomfortable with Song Lan's smile. He moved the corners of his mouth and said, "I'll see you off."

"Need not."

Song Lan shook her head.

The baby Xiao Chen, who was held in Xiao Yu's arms, looked at his father and then at his pretty aunt Song Lan. The little guy's big eyes were full of confusion. It was obvious that he didn't quite understand what the two adults were saying, but this didn't stop him from smiling.

Yes, the child listened to his father and Song Lan talking to each other, and a cute smile was always on his slightly chubby face.

"Send auntie away!"

"Auntie, you don't need us to send you off every morning. Auntie will come to visit you another day and buy you delicious and fun things!"

As she spoke, Song Lan suddenly thought of something. She glanced at Xiao Yu and the child and said, "I forgot to bring you cotton clothes. I will definitely bring them when I come next Sunday."

There are bundles of cotton in the space, all of which are well-struck, and there are also good pieces of cotton cloth. If she spends a little more money at the tailor shop someday, she should be able to make quite a few sets in a week.

She can do it in her own space when she has time.

Thinking truthfully, Song Lan felt relieved, but then she heard Xiao Yu say, "Don't bother, we have cotton clothes to wear."

"Someone gave it to me, didn't they? They were tattered cotton-padded clothes that weren't very warm, right?"

Song Lan put away the smile on her face: "I told you not to be polite to me, why can't you remember? I don't believe you brought clothes for all four seasons when you came here."

Sighing secretly, she took two steps forward, then turned back and said, "Don't send me off. It's windy outside. Hurry up and carry Chenchen back to the house. I'll be home soon."

After saying this, Song Lan retracted his gaze and walked away a few steps.

Realizing that there was no one around, she put the backpack and the empty travel bag into the space, but in her hand there was a half-sized wicker basket, in which was placed a tied pheasant and a hare, covered with a thick layer of pig grass to prevent anyone from seeing and saying something sarcastic.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

Walking into the courtyard, Song Lan happened to see Song Sanhe and Li Jumei walking towards the kitchen. She couldn't help but call out to them. Hearing her voice, Li Jumei turned around and said hurriedly:

"I thought you would be home by now, so I cooked half an hour ago. Go wash your hands and rest in the living room. Mom will bring you the meal."

Song Lan smiled: "Thank you, Mom!"

"How can I say thank you to my mother?! Hurry up, in this weather, we need to eat the rice as soon as it comes out of the pot, otherwise it will get cold very quickly!"

Li Jumei urged, and before Song Lan could respond, she had already entered the kitchen.

"sister!"

Song Guoqing walked out of the main room and said unhappily, "Why didn't you ask me to accompany you to the forest farm?"

"You're not at home. Mom said you went to the foot of the mountain to exercise."

Song Lan responded with a smile.

"Then you didn't call me big brother either."

Song Guoqing said: "You are a girl. It is very dangerous to go to the forest farm alone. Don't do this again in the future!"

"Little housekeeper, have you forgotten that I, your sister, have martial arts skills?"

Song Lan put the wicker basket in her hand on the steps under the eaves, turned around to fetch water to wash her hands, and then asked Song Guoqing: "Where is my brother?"

"I'm here."

Before Song Guoqing could say anything, Song Qingbin's voice was heard from the main room.

"Brother, are you feeling better from your cold?"

Looking towards the main room, Song Lan asked.

Song Qingbin had already walked out of the main room. He said, "I took the pills you left at home for treating colds, and now I am almost well."

"That's good."

After washing their hands, Song Lan, Song Qingbin and Song Guoqing walked into the kitchen to help Song Sanhe and his wife carry the dishes.

"Didn't I tell you to rest in the living room? Why are you running to the kitchen?!"

Li Jumei feels sorry for her daughter.

"I don't feel tired."

Song Lan smiled.

……

Half an hour later, the family had finished their meal. Song Lan helped Li Jumei clean up the kitchen, and the mother and daughter returned to the main room to chat with their family. At this time, Song Lan finally had time to ask about the broken engagement with the Han family.

"Did my elder brother's cancellation of the engagement go smoothly?"

"If things don't go smoothly, will the Han family rely on our family to not cancel the marriage? You don't know that as soon as your father and I entered the Han family, the couple apologized as soon as they opened their mouths, fearing that your father and I would say something unpleasant.

Although we are country folk, we won’t curse people. However, the marriage was cancelled smoothly, but I am still holding my breath. I think the Han couple are not human beings. Otherwise, how could they let their daughter cuckold your eldest brother? ! "

When Li Jumei thought of the ugly things Han Bailan had done, she felt upset and uncomfortable.

"I know you're not happy, but it's already happened. Even if we feel uncomfortable, we have to do it this way. Otherwise, do you want my eldest brother to marry her and let her bring disaster to our family?"

Song Lan tried to comfort her, but upon hearing that, Li Jumei said, "Harming our family? How dare she do that?! She has no sense of propriety. Whoever marries her will be unlucky for the rest of their lives!"

Needless to say, the "she" Li Jumei mentioned refers to Han Bailan.

"Mom, you are right to think so. No matter who marries someone like Han Bailan, it will not be good. Besides, my eldest brother had planned to cancel the engagement before. Now, it is Han Bailan who has handed the handle to us.

This allowed our family to cancel the marriage smoothly without having to worry about any bad reputation. Anyway, I am very happy for my elder brother that he was able to successfully cancel the marriage with the Han family!
