Chapter 440 Actually, we could have had Brother He come over.
Lin Chang'er was relieved and nodded, then joked, "Give Sister Xing'er some time, and I think I'll be able to drink your wedding wine eventually."
He Fei, a grown man, turned his face away in embarrassment.
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "I'll head back now. See you later."
He Fei then turned around and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards her, and Lin Chang'er drove away.
Upon returning to the village, she went straight to the old house. Wang Xing'er's health had greatly improved after this period of recuperation.
Nowadays in the village, besides helping my neighbor's aunt sort medicinal herbs, I do embroidery.
Upon seeing Lin Chang'er arrive, she quickly put down her sewing kit and said, "Chang'er, what brings you here?"
Lin Chang'er handed her the bundle that He Fei had asked her to carry, saying, "Brother He asked me to give this to you."
He then handed her another package, saying, "I bought angelica, astragalus, and red dates at a pharmacy in the county town. You can stew some for yourself to drink on your own."
Wang Xing'er naturally dared not accept it. "This won't do. You single-handedly pulled me out of that family, treated my illness, and raised me and Xiao Chuan. I can never repay the kindness you have shown to my son and me in this lifetime. How can I possibly take anything from you?"
Lin Chang'er stuffed the things into her arms, waved her hand and said, "What gratitude or not, it was just a coincidence that we met, and I just happened to be unable to stand by and watch. Maybe it's fate!"
Wang Xing'er turned her face away and sobbed softly.
Lin Chang'er stepped forward, hugged her, and patted her. "Alright, alright, every day from now on will be a good day. You shouldn't be crying."
Wang Xing'er nodded. "San came to me before and talked about embroidery. I felt that she had just finished her postpartum confinement and needed to rest for a while longer, so I started embroidering myself."
After saying that, she took out a pair of embroidered shoe uppers from the sewing basket. "I don't know what styles are popular in the city, so I'll start by embroidering some that I'm good at."
Lin Chang'er took a look and exclaimed, "No wonder my second sister-in-law said you embroidered so well. Sister Xing'er, with this skill, you'll never have to worry about food."
"As for the latest fashions in the city, I'll take you into the city another day to take a look, and then we can combine our own strengths to create something similar."
Wang Xing'er nodded, "I'll do whatever you say."
Lin Chang'er then thought of something else, "By the way, what do you think about Xiao Chuan changing his surname?"
Wang Xing'er paused for a moment, then said, "Chang'er, since it's a new life, I'm thinking of simply changing Xiao Chuan's name and surname. We will never have anything to do with that family's affairs again."
Lin Chang'er naturally had no objection, "Okay! There's nothing wrong with that."
Then he asked, "Have you decided what name to give Xiaochuan yet?"
Wang Xing'er blushed and said, "Chang'er, I... I don't know many characters, so naturally I don't know how to name people. Actually, I... I wanted to ask you to help Xiao Chuan choose a new name."
Lin Chang'er laughed heartily, "I'm certainly happy that you're praising me so much, but I'm still so young, it's not appropriate to name Xiao Chuan yet."
Although they are sisters in name only, Li Chuan and Yu Dian'er's situations are different.
Wang Xing'er insisted, "There's nothing wrong with it. You are the one who gave us, mother and son, a new life. No one is more suitable than you to give Xiao Chuan a name."
Lin Chang'er said, "Speaking of which, there really is one."
Wang Xing'er looked at her in confusion, and Lin Chang'er didn't keep her in suspense, "Headmaster Chen is highly respected. He is the headmaster of Yunhai Academy. Moreover, we have already become godparents when we went to Su County. From now on, he will be my godfather."
"These past few days, he has been going back to the Chen family to discuss this matter. When they return, they will hold a family reunion banquet."
"How about this, when he comes back, I'll have him give Xiaochuan a new name."
Wang Xing'er was overjoyed and gratefully said, "Okay, but this will trouble you again."
Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "No trouble at all. As I get older, it's good for my brain to keep active from time to time."
Wang Xing'er smiled and noticed that Chang'er was dressed in simple, plain fabrics. She said, "Chang'er, when you make new clothes later, I'll embroider a skirt for you!"
Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "No need, you can embroider some small trinkets first, like purses, shoe uppers, handkerchiefs and the like, and I'll take them to Chen Zhao's shop to sell for you later."
“Li Da can’t compensate you for the time being. You should save up little by little first, so you won’t have to worry about anything in the future.”
Hearing her words, Wang Xing'er also began to look forward to the future.
Seeing that she had relaxed, Lin Chang'er took the opportunity to ask her, "Sister Xing'er, there's something I want to ask you. If you're happy to tell me, then tell me. If you're not happy to tell me, then just pretend I didn't ask."
Wang Xing'er naturally nodded, "There's nothing I can't say, just ask."
Lin Chang'er's eyes darted around, and she asked with a smile, "You mean that Brother He? Have you known him for a while?"
Wang Xing'er's smile faded, and she turned her face away.
Seeing this, Lin Chang'er quickly added, "It's alright, it's alright. If it's inconvenient to say, then you don't have to say it."
"I saw you yesterday and was just thinking of asking what your plans are."
"Brother He is temporarily staying with me. He's a good guy. When I left the city today, he told me that everything depends on you. If you're willing, he'll give you a formal title. If you're not, he still wants to take care of you and Xiao Chuan."
"I've also asked Wu Qingfeng to help me find out about his family. If you also think he's a good person, then don't miss out."
“People like Li Da are always a minority. Of course, I’m telling you this so you won’t feel guilty.”
Having said too much in one breath, Lin Chang'er paused for a moment and said, "My name is still quite useful now. If you remarry, I will definitely send you off as a member of your family. When you go to your husband's family, you can boldly use my name to live a good life."
“If you don’t mean it that way, that’s fine too. We have hands and feet, and we can raise Xiaochuan.”
According to He Fei, they must have missed each other by chance before, and it would be a real shame to miss each other again.
However, there's no use in her being anxious; it all depends on Wang Xing'er.
Having had such an inhuman experience, it's understandable that she doesn't want to take that step again, especially since He Fei seems quite loyal.
Wang Xing'er turned to look at her, "Chang'er, thank you. I have no plans to remarry for the time being. I will explain it to Brother He."
Lin Chang'er: "..." No, that's not what I meant.
Lin Chang'er explained, "Sister Xing'er, that's not what I meant. Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. There is nothing wrong with a widow remarrying."
"I'm telling you all this not because I think it's bad to say that you have a close relationship with Brother He."
"I just think it would be nice to have someone help you take care of Xiao Chuan. Brother He seems reliable and ambitious. I hope you can think about it carefully."
"From now on, you will live your own lives, so the opinions of others are not important at all."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "If you're worried about going to an unfamiliar environment again, you can actually ask Brother He to come to our village. I think his brothers would be very happy to come to our village."
“If Brother He settles down here, his brothers will be green with envy.”
