Lin Jinyan saw that she could not persuade the woman, so she could only look at Lin Wanrong:
"Sister, how can I sit still when you are like this?"
Lin Wanrong looked at Lin Jinyan seriously. After bowing devoutly, she stood up and took the woman's arm to help her up without waiting for Lin Jinyan to speak again:
"Mom, get up, Yan'er doesn't like this."
Seeing the two of them sitting down, Lin Jinyan smiled and said:
"That's right. We'll see you more often in the future, but it's not good to have no name all the time. I heard that my wife's surname is Xu. How about I call you Aunt Xu in the future?"
Mrs. Xu panicked and said, "You are the master and I am the servant. How dare I call you elder..."
Lin Jinyan interrupted: "You're here again, sister, do you think it's inappropriate for me to call you Aunt Xu?"
Lin Wanrong shook her head: "There is nothing wrong with it. This is an excellent title and has nothing to do with the Lin family. Mother, let Yan'er call you this."
Mrs. Xu was persuaded by Lin Wanrong before she agreed. After saying some words of thanks to Lin Jinyan, she cooked a few dishes herself, and the three of them sat around and had a meal together.
It wasn't until late in the day that the two sisters got into the carriage and returned home. Mrs. Xu stood at the door and watched the carriage go away. Lin Wanrong in the carriage also opened the curtain with a look of reluctance on her face.
"Sister, we have already met. We have a long time to come, and we don't miss this moment."
Lin Wanrong nodded, lowered the car curtain, and after a moment of silence, she raised her head and said seriously:
"Yan'er, as the saying goes, no words of thanks can be given for a great favor. But I owe you so much that no matter how much I thank you, I will never be able to thank you enough. In the future, I will no longer hide behind you and An'er. I also want to protect you, An'er, grandparents, uncles, the general's wife and two cousins..."
Seeing Lin Jinyan looking at her with a smile, Lin Wanrong bit her lips and said:
"I know I can't do anything well, but I want to do it. I want to protect Yan'er and the people Yan'er cares about."
Lin Jinyan patted the back of Lin Wanrong's hand and said softly:
"I trust my sister, but my sister also needs to know that you are also someone I care about. Don't take risks in anything, otherwise I will be sad."
When Lin Wanrong heard this, her eyes were as bright as stars, a smile bloomed from her eyes, and she nodded heavily to Lin Jinyan:
"Yes! I took note of it."
After returning home, the two sisters informed the old lady about Xu's affairs.
Because she was afraid that the old lady would punish Lin Jinyan, Lin Wanrong tried her best to put the blame on herself, saying that she had begged Lin Jinyan to find it, and Lin Jinyan had no choice but to accept it.
The old lady was unhappy at first, but seeing the two sisters "covering" each other and rushing to admit their mistakes and take punishment, she lost her temper for a while.
"Okay, okay, if you two are really itchy and have to be beaten before you accept it, then go find your grandfather. Don't act like sisterly love here, my old lady, and make it look like I have a heart of stone."
When the two sisters heard this, they both stepped forward with playful smiles, and one of them held an arm of the old lady.
One said: "I know my grandmother's bodhisattva heart, so I dare to tell her."
One said: "I came to my grandmother first because I was afraid of being beaten. My grandmother would definitely be reluctant to beat us."
"Grandma, please stop pretending to be evil. You scared my sister and I just now. We are more afraid of grandma being angry than getting beaten."
"Yes, grandma. From now on, I will get up half an hour early to pray for grandma."
The old lady deliberately said with a straight face: "You are getting more and more cunning, and you know how to trick me. Agate, go and get the family law. You must deal with these two monkeys today."
