CHAPTER 454: CHAPTER 102: DAILY LIFE_3

Xu Lin here is the typical tall, rich, and handsome guy from the city.

So it sparked a lot of shocked discussions among people.

Not to mention anything else, just a car worth over two million stunned the folks at the small shop.

So people couldn’t help but ask Ning Yuhuan.

"I don’t know either."

Ning Yuhuan responded to questions about money matters with reserve.

Because people kept asking, Ning Yuhuan quickly bought the soy sauce and went back, no matter how they asked, she would say she didn’t know.

As it got later.

An hour later.

As night was about to fall, Xu Lin came down to buy a drink.

By then, there were fewer people in the small shop, since everyone had gone back to tend to their own matters.

When Xu Lin was buying a drink, the shop owner asked him casually in dialect, "I heard your car costs over two million?"

"Yeah."

Xu Lin nodded directly.

Xu Lin is not like Ning Yuhuan; Ning Yuhuan is very low-key and doesn’t show off her wealth.

But Xu Lin is different.

Rural social dynamics and city social dynamics are two different concepts; the countryside is a relatively closed small society with relationships that are both complex and simple. In the old society, if you had more than two sons, and these sons were not pushovers but rather smart, akin to spirited young men, then the family certainly wouldn’t be bullied. Even now, it’s similar, though with economic development, some things have changed; now, if a son does well outside, others in the village will look up to him.

Xu Lin asked Ning Yuhuan about the village; there were only two major surnames, Huang and Li, with each surname being a family, except for the Ning Family which consisted of two households: Ning Haifeng’s family and Ning Yuhuan’s uncle Ning Haijin’s family.

Usually, the village got along well, but if it came to matters of interest, people would naturally side with their own surname. These things are quite realistic.

So, when Xu Lin mentioned his expensive car, it was essentially telling others that Ning Yuhuan’s family had strong backing.

"Wow! Over two million!"

The shop owner was very shocked, trying to fathom how much money that was, and it truly unsettled him.

Xu Lin bought the drink and left, and by that night, everyone in the village knew that Ning Haifeng’s son-in-law drove an over two million luxury car and was wealthy, sparking discussions among the people.

When it came to dinner time.

Dinner was lively tonight, besides Ning Yuhuan’s family, her uncle and aunt were also present, making it ten people in total at a large round table.

In the southern countryside, dining doesn’t emphasize seating order or main guests; you find a seat and sit down.

Dinner was congenial, with everyone chatting about family matters, but Xu Lin was the focal point, with all the adults watching him.

After dinner, the uncle and aunt stayed at Ning Yuhuan’s family for an hour before leaving.

"Hubby, shower!"

"Ok."

"Are you used to showering here?"

Ning Yuhuan was worried Xu Lin might not be used to it.

Her home didn’t have a water heater; they still used wood for heating.

Ning Yuhuan was holding a bucket to fill with nearly boiling water for Xu Lin, later adding cold water to make it the right temperature for a shower.

"I said earlier I could shower with cold water, but you insisted on hot water."

"You’ll catch a cold; it’s cold now!"

"Is twenty-plus degrees cold?"

"It’s eighteen degrees now; you need to shower with hot water!" Ning Yuhuan emphasized.

"Alright, hot water it is."

Xu Lin took the bucket, "I can handle it."

"Let me fill a bit of hot water first, otherwise you won’t manage."

"Okay."

Ning Yuhuan filled about half a bucket of water for Xu Lin, who carried it into the bathroom, while she followed to help him adjust the water temperature at the faucet.

"It’s a bit troublesome, I’m not sure if you’re used to it."

Ning Yuhuan said as she did so.

"It’s all okay; I’m not pampered."

"Okay, okay."

"Alright, I’ll shower first."

"Hurry up; without a hot water shower, it’s easy to catch a cold here."

"Ok."

Before leaving, Ning Yuhuan closed the door for Xu Lin.

Inside, Xu Lin quickly washed his hair and showered; actually, one bucket wasn’t enough, so he turned on the faucet to wash with some cold water too.

Ten minutes later, Xu Lin came out, and Ning Yuhuan took him back to the room on the second floor to dry his hair.

"Senior, quickly shower and get ready for bed."

"Hmph, not that fast."

Ning Yuhuan gave him a playful glance.

Soon, Ning Yuhuan also went to shower but only returned after more than half an hour.

Because she was also with Wu Xiulin, helping her younger siblings bathe; the two kids were just over four years old, far from being able to shower themselves.

"Senior, let’s sleep!"

Seeing Ning Yuhuan return, Xu Lin hugged her; freshly showered, Ning Yuhuan smelled fragrant.

"Don’t do anything bad; the soundproofing here is too poor."

"I know, I’ll just hold you to sleep."

"Okay, okay."

Ning Yuhuan turned off the lights and snuggled into Xu Lin’s arms.

"Xu Lin, are you used to it?"

"A little uncomfortable, but it’s nothing."

"Are you leaving the day after tomorrow?" Ning Yuhuan asked, holding Xu Lin and breathing in his pleasant scent.

"Yes, leaving in the morning the day after tomorrow, going back to Jiangdu, then I’ll go to the provincial capital to visit my mom, not sure when I’ll return home."

"Okay, okay."

Ning Yuhuan nodded, but hesitated to say more.

"What’s up?" Xu Lin asked.

"I... can I visit your home?" Ning Yuhuan asked nervously.

"Of course, let’s pick a time and I’ll take you over."

"Okay!"

Ning Yuhuan smiled brightly, dazzling like stars.
