The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 43: Eldest Uncle

"Cough cough..."

As soon as they entered the room, they heard a weak cough.

"Eldest brother!"

Su Xiaoxiao knew it was her eldest brother and immediately ran into the room where the coughing was coming from.

Lin Fan asked Wang Erxiao to put down the gifts and followed suit.

What came into view was a simple wooden bed, on which lay a pale-faced man.

One of the man's legs was clamped by a bamboo board, wrapped in layers of cloth, emitting a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

Su Xiaoxiao, who had rushed in, was now squatting by the bedside, crying with tears streaming down her face.

First, her mother cried until she went blind, and now her brother's leg was broken.

These repeated blows completely overwhelmed her already tender-hearted nature.

"Don't cry, brother isn't dead, it's just a broken bone. It'll heal in a while, it's not a big deal. Seeing you doing well makes brother happy."

The man was initially stunned when he saw his younger sister, unable to react for a moment.

But when he saw her dressed in fine clothes and adorned with various precious jewelry, and saw Lin Fan, who came in with her, looking extraordinary, he roughly understood what was going on and smiled.

During this period of time, his life had been very difficult.

His sister was taken away by the government, his mother cried until she went blind, and he himself broke his leg.

Everything in the family relied on his wife's support, and it was truly unbearable.

But now, seeing his sister doing well and not suffering a tragic fate, all the pain he had endured during this time dissipated in an instant.

"Eldest uncle."

Lin Fan also came to the bedside and greeted his eldest uncle with a smile.

"Mm, you're Xiaoxiao's husband?"

The man smiled and asked, apparently having a good impression of Lin Fan.

"Yes, thanks to Xiaoxiao's unwavering support, we are now husband and wife."

Lin Fan nodded with a smile, his gaze towards his wife filled with doting.

"Then I'll trouble you with Xiaoxiao from now on. She had a weak constitution when she was young, and as her eldest brother, I never let her do any work. I didn't expect that in the end, I caused harm to her. Fortunately, she met you."

The man sighed with emotion.

He had also realized that Lin Fan didn't have any disdain for his sister's condition.

Even when he casually mentioned it, there was always a hint of doting. This couldn't be faked.

His worried sister had truly found a suitable husband.

This finally allowed him to let go of the heavy burden in his heart.

"Eldest uncle, you're too kind. If it weren't for your help, how could I have married such a good wife?"

Lin Fan shook his head in response.

This answer made the man momentarily stunned, but soon he laughed even more happily.

Indeed,

If his sister had been rough and unrefined, she would have been chosen by another man long ago.

And Lin Fan, who clearly didn't have an ordinary temperament, must come from a well-off family. He wouldn't be interested in someone rough and unrefined, after all, he didn't have the same pressures in life and had different pursuits.

His sister's condition had turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

In that case,

He really had to thank this brother of his.

"Little sister, stop crying. It's the first time my brother-in-law has come to our house, and you're making him stand. Brother and mother are not convenient right now, and your sister-in-law is in the fields. You have to take care of him."

The man spoke up to divert his sister's attention when he saw that she was still crying.

This trick worked as expected.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao forcibly held back her tears and went to get a chair, along with some hot water to drink. She had been thirsty after running all the way here.

Lin Fan didn't refuse either. He happened to have something to ask his uncle.

Since he, as the son-in-law, had come, he naturally couldn't let his wife's family be bullied.

Not to mention his own strength.

Just the powerful partner, Divine Sword Villa, could solve most of the problems with just a word.

"Wuyou, go to the field and call your mother back. Tell her that there are guests at home."

The man seemed to have noticed this and spoke to send his own child away.

The mother was entertaining Wang Erxiao outside and organizing the gifts that were brought.

Now, the two men were left in the room after the adults and the child were separated.

"Uncle, what's wrong with your leg? The village chief said it wasn't an accident."

Lin Fan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

The man sighed and said, "Brother-in-law, I can see that you're not an ordinary person. It seems like you want to help me, but this matter is complicated. Let's just treat it as an accident. As long as I see my little sister living well, I'm happy. I don't want to cause trouble for you."

"Uncle, if you think like this, then you're treating me as an outsider."

Lin Fan said, "And as your brother-in-law, although I don't have much ability, I still have the ability to stand up when my wife's family is being bullied."

The man saw that Lin Fan was determined and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.

In fact, this matter couldn't be kept a secret. As long as Lin Fan wanted to know, many people in the village knew about it.

The village chief didn't say it directly, he just wanted the two of them to communicate.

After listening to his uncle's story, Lin Fan gradually understood the situation.

In the end,

This is a common conflict in rural areas.

In the downstream area of Su Family Village, there is another village called Li Family Village.

Two months ago, during the autumn planting, there was a dispute over water for the fields, which eventually led to a fight between the two villages.

This is indeed very common, even in modern rural areas, such things happen frequently.

Lin Fan vaguely remembered.

When he was a child, he had seen it several times, and the whole village would be involved.

But in cases like this, both sides would try to restrain themselves and not let things get out of hand. The government would also intervene quickly.

Su Family Village and Li Family Village were the same. After the conflict, only a few people were slightly injured.

Originally, it was thought that the matter would pass.

But unexpectedly, a villager from Li Family Village, who was injured during the fight, somehow managed to get close to a powerful figure and asked for help.

And this villager who was injured was actually injured by his uncle during the fight.

His uncle had almost forgotten about this matter. He was also injured by the other party during the fight, but it was just a minor injury. He recovered quickly and soon forgot about it.

But unexpectedly,

Just recently, the other party brought the powerful figure and came directly to their door.

He had to resist forcefully in order to protect his family.

But the powerful figure was not an ordinary person, and even the people around him were not ordinary.

After this resistance,

Not only was his leg broken on the spot, but even the villagers who came to help were also seriously injured.

If it weren't for the fact that the powerful figure looked down on him and didn't bother to care, the situation would have been even more serious.

"A powerful figure?"

Lin Fan touched his chin. He didn't expect the situation to be so complicated.

Even the followers were not ordinary people, they had practiced martial arts, and several times the number of villagers were no match for them. This powerful figure was indeed not a simple existence.

No wonder his uncle didn't want to say it. In the eyes of ordinary people, this was indeed an existence that couldn't be provoked.

But since Lin Fan had taken on this matter, he naturally had no intention of being afraid.

Wasn't Divine Sword Villa supposed to be very strong?

They even said not to hesitate to ask for help when encountering problems and to trust them to handle it.

This was a good opportunity to test their authenticity.
