Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 788 - 724: Visitors from the Mei Family
Ye Qing is not in Z City, Lin Wan is certainly happy, not caring where she is now, it definitely won’t be pleasant for her.
Lin Wan peacefully at home, being filial to her parents, being a good wife, looking after the children, making her own money. However, Lin Wan’s thoughts are too optimistic, life will always add some seasoning to them.
Lin Wan originally planned to come back early today because it is Han Yi’s
birthday, Mom prepared a chicken for her, Lin Wan also specially went to the city’s cake shop, birthday cakes are a novelty now. The shop just opened not long ago, and the customers here are lined up every day, squeezing it full.
Not sure if Shuhua knows how to make birthday cakes, if she learns this craft, business could certainly get better, Lin Wan thought about calling Zhang Shuhua to talk about this another day.
She hurriedly rushed home. As she walked to the first floor, Sister-in-law Jiang’s door suddenly opened. Seeing Lin Wan, she quickly pulled her into the house.
This situation seemed as if she was waiting for her.
"Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Is Little Star being naughty?"
"No, Xingxing has already been taken back by Han Yi, it’s your family. Three people have come. It looks like Han Yi’s father and two elderly people, they should be Han Yi’s grandparents. I just heard the sounds of arguing inside, so... be careful."
The fact that Han Yi’s biological father is Mei Shuping is known in several large military districts, so it’s no surprise that Sister-in-law Jiang knows. Lin Wan hadn’t expected that they would actually find their way here this time, and from Sister-in-law Jiang’s implication, it seems that Old Mr. Mei and Old Mrs. Mei have come too. What do they want?
"I understand, sister-in-law. Thank you," she said, carrying her things upstairs.
"If anything happens, remember to call us," Sister-in-law Jiang reminded her at the door.
Lin Wan gratefully turned back and nodded to Sister-in-law Jiang.
"It’s us, the Mei Family, who have wronged your mom all these years and neglected you, making you suffer a lot. Grandpa here promises you that in the Mei Family, no one will dare to speak ill of you. You’ve always been the eldest grandson of the Mei Family."
As Lin Wan opened the door, she heard Mr. Mei speak earnestly.
It was just an unfortunate coincidence that Lin Wan interrupted.
"Mommy." Little Star was obviously frightened by the atmosphere today, it was her first time seeing Daddy so angry, it was terrifying. Seeing Lin Wan return, she quickly rushed into Lin Wan’s arms.
"Good girl," Lin Wan, holding things in both hands, wanted to pat the child but couldn’t. Fortunately, Han Yi came over soon to take the things from Lin Wan’s hands,
taking them to the kitchen. Only then did Lin Wan hug Little Star to comfort her.
From beginning to end, the family of three did not give the few people in the room any notice.
Lin Wan, holding Little Star, sat in the spot Han Yi had just vacated. She focused on the child, not even bothering to glance up.
This made the elders in the room very angry, especially Old Mrs. Mei. Having had a troublesome previous granddaughter-in-law, she had no fondness for this granddaughter-in-law from the countryside. If not for her being the Lin Family’s granddaughter, she would have scolded her just now.
"It’s late, my home is small, it can’t accommodate such big characters as you."
"You..."
Han Yi came out of the kitchen, seeing his daughter’s terrified eyes, his heart ached, then he coldly addressed the uninvited guests in the room.
Every time Mei Shuping sees Han Yi, he gets the short end of the stick. He’s at a loss with this son.
This fellow is stubborn, never changing his mind, totally inflexible.
This time, the whole family came, showing how sincere they were, yet he remains so stubborn and unyielding.
"Shuping, speak properly," Mr. Mei, who could keep his cool, said.
He wasn’t over today to really make Han Yi agree immediately. He was just here to probe what attitude this kid has towards the Mei family.
Today, he could also see that this kid has quite a bit of resentment towards them.
"Is it Lin Wan? In the future, persuade Xiao Yi more at home. You should be more understanding than her," Mr. Mei’s words left Lin Wan quite displeased.
Mr. Mei clearly meant something else, wasn’t he saying that she, from the countryside, was quite capable, finally climbing up to the Lin Family after so many years?
Wrong, very wrong, they were originally part of the Lin Family, no need to climb.
Did they think Han Yi would be better off returning to the Mei family?
Clearly, it was because they valued Han Yi’s abilities, and wanted to bring him in to elevate the Mei Family, yet they portray it as if without the Mei Family, Han Yi would be nothing. This hypocrisy is what’s most distasteful to them.
"My Han Yi has always been understanding; all big or small decisions at home are made by him. I’m just a woman, really having no say in anything, I always listen to what he says."
"A woman shouldn’t always be running outside, too busy to care for her husband and children, what is this like, also blame the Lin Family for spoiling you guys, having good jobs not working, preferring to do embarrassing jobs. A few years ago, those who did lowly businesses, weren’t they the ones nodding and bowing as servants. Can’t my Xiao Yi support you? Today, as his grandmother, I must lecture you properly, our Mei Family’s daughters-in-law, who hasn’t lived like a grand lady. Why would you, a woman, need to toil for a living, letting your husband stay at home to take care of the kids. Can’t even manage your own husband..."
"Old Mrs. Mei," not waiting for Old Mrs. Mei’s reprimand to finish, Lin Wan interrupted sternly with a cold face.
"This is the Han Family, not your Mei Family. With my mother-in-law still present, it’s not for Old Mrs. Mei to dictate here."
"You... you..." Old Mrs. Mei perhaps didn’t expect Lin Wan would openly talk back, leaving her angry and trembling, pointing at her for a long time, yet unable to say a word.
On the side, Mei Shuping quickly calmed her, saying, "Mom, don’t get angry, those two have always been like this."
Every time Mei Shuping sees them, without them making him half-dead angry, things don’t end.
"Saying those words in our house, it’s you who are disgraced. Leave, don’t wait until my temper flares up, I won’t care about how old you are, what military merits." Han Yi said mercilessly, even Mr. Mei’s face turned dark.
"No matter how you deny it, you can’t shake off the fact that I’m your biological father. Why don’t you ask those outside, who doesn’t know you’re a son of the Mei Family? Do you think the military merits repeatedly granted to you just naturally fall into your lap? If not for the Mei Family’s face, could you have achieved what you have now?"
Han Yi sneered, "So, you’re saying my achievements now are due to the Mei Family? That’s really not what I wanted. Mr. Mei, feel free to specify which task I owed your favor; tomorrow... no, I’ll immediately submit a statement to my superiors, saying the military merits given by the Mei family are actually beyond what I deserve."
"What nonsense are you talking?"
If it really gets out, the Mei Family would be gravely wronged. Han Yi, this stubborn mule, could indeed follow through with this.
The things the Mei Family did for Han Yi in the background these years seem like consuming bitter without saying anything; the bitterness can only be swallowed. Seeing no result today, Mr. Mei got up with a sigh, stepping out in large strides.
Old Mrs. Mei had a deep dissatisfaction toward this granddaughter-in-law, huffing while glancing at Lin Wan before leaving. She arrogantly leaned on her cane, allowing Mei Shuping to help her out of the Han Family’s door.
Previously, shoved by Ye Qing, she injured her tailbone and was hospitalized for two months in G City before gradually being able to get up.
The son had issues, couldn’t always be there to attend, so a few days ago he just went to G City to fetch them. Passing by Z City, Mr. Mei expressed his desire to meet this grandson.
The Mei Family had known about this grandson for years, even though they acknowledged him publicly, the real kin hadn’t actually met. Over the years, it was just Mei Shuping coming to persuade Han Yi occasionally.
The Mei Family’s head, Mr. Mei, had never been over, possibly waiting for Han Yi to bow his head.
But they didn’t expect, Han Yi, with no background, married a good wife, with the Lin Family connection, there’s no concern for Han Yi’s future.
Now, Mei Langchi is still in the labor camp, can’t mingle in the military camp anymore. Possibly no place in the government too.
The future prospects of this grandson are quite worrying, so now Mr. Mei desperately wants Han Yi to acknowledge his ancestry.
"Ai Yi?" Lin Wan, holding the child, looked at Han Yi’s not-so-good face, calling out worriedly.
Han Yi didn’t respond to Lin Wan, turned around, closed the door firmly, took a deep breath, and then gave mother and daughter a smile, "It’s nothing, just insignificant people. Some are just irritating. I’ve let go of it long ago, just hearing their words was unsettling. Did it frighten the child?" Before Xiao Wan returned, he had a heated argument with Mei Shuping and was holding the child. He could feel Little Star trembling.
