Wang Yuan and his wife didnât expect that Han Yi and his wife had such a big yard here. They just heard on the way that it was newly bought.
"You two sit down first, Iâll go boil some water." Han Yi put Lin Wanâs luggage inside and invited the couple to sit down.
Lin Yuan looked at Lin Wanâs home, and it was exactly how she dreamed her place could be.
Itâs countless times better than Sun Yuâs house. Speaking of which, when she and the third companyâs leaderâs wife just moved here, they were staying at a guesthouse.
It was once when Wang Yuan took her to the compound to meet an old leader that she met Sun Yu.
Sun Yu invited them over to her house to hang out. Wang Yuan and Yang Wei were getting along well, so they agreed to come.
In the past few days, she hadnât interacted with Sun Yu much, mostly just Sun Yu came to the guesthouse to hang out with them.
Whenever they did interact, it was largely Sun Yu showing off.
That day, after running into Lin Wan at the small market, on the way back, Sun Yu said a lot of bad things about Lin Wan.
Most of it was implying that Lin Wan, a village woman, used some tricks to catch Han Yi, a local from S City.
Doing some shady business, and so on.
The third companyâs leaderâs wife agreed with her a lot, she just listened without saying anything. She hadnât met the person and didnât want to judge based on hearsay, and not fond of how Sun Yu bad-mouthed behind peopleâs backs.
"Xiao Wan, where did you buy this furniture, itâs really nice. Old Wang, donât you think?"
Wang Yuan nodded in agreement.
Lin Wan chuckled, "Itâs not bought, I had it custom made. The wardrobe and sofa in the bedroom were designed by myself. The storage cabinets and the bookshelves in the study were picked up from a recycling facility, and then refurbished and repainted."
"You... you designed it yourself?" Lin Yuan found it hard to believe; it was completely different from what Sun Yu said.
"Iâm attending night classes in fashion design now, my drawing skills are okay, so I drew what I wanted for the furniture and got a carpenter to make it."
"Thatâs amazing. I donât have that talent... Wait, even the stuff you picked from the dump looks this good?"
"I kind of like furniture from the Republican era, so I retrieved some pieces. By the way, let me take you to the study. If you like these, youâll surely like the study too," Lin Wan said, leading them to the study.
"Ah... this desk has such character. Old Wang, you should discuss with Han Yi, see if they could sell it to us and have them pick out another one for themselves?" Lin Yuan, seeing the furniture set, practically threw herself onto the desk, acting childishly.
Wang Yuan embarrassingly rubbed his forehead, gave Lin Wan an apologetic look, and hurriedly pulled his wife up, "Yuanyuan, stop making trouble."
Lin Wan wasnât angry, instead, she found Lin Yuan very adorable, covered her mouth, and laughed, "Not selling, no matter the price, weâre not selling. I spent several days picking this out; itâs got a lot of collectible value." Lin Wan had thought about it, wherever they moved in the future, sheâd definitely take this furniture set with her.
After using gas to boil the water, Han Yi went to his mother-in-lawâs and brought back a piece of coal. He thought that since they would cook here tomorrow, heâd better prepare tonight.
Coming back, he saw this scene unfold, "Xiao Wan? Xiao Wan?" Liang Hongmei had just returned from the shop and hadnât had a chance to sleep yet when she saw her son-in-law had come back.
After asking, she found out her daughter was pregnant, and her son-in-law, not at ease, brought her back.
Liang Hongmei was delighted and threw on a coat, following her son-in-law over.
"How are you feeling? Any symptoms?" she asked, looking Lin Wan up and down with concern.
"Mom... itâs only been a month, I donât feel much yet," Lin Wan said, hugging her mom in a hurry, smiling at her worried look.
"Thatâs good, from now on, rest well at home, donât go anywhere."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
