Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 387 Opening (5)

Luo Yanxing walked in with a gloomy face. Song Ying also wanted to follow him in, but since her master was here, she had to entertain him first.

Doctor Lin frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Relatives from our village came and wanted to see the house, so they asked me to bring the key to open the door." Although she didn't do it, Song Ying still felt embarrassed and ashamed when she said this.

Doctor Lin frowned, "It's too noisy outside, take me inside to rest for a while."

Song Ying understood at once that her master was planning to go in and help them watch over the people in the village. Normally, she was unwilling to talk to even the maids who flattered her in the mansion, but they were going to deal with the people in their village for her. Song Ying was both moved and guilty.

"Thank you, Master."

Doctor Lin patted her hands and said, "Don't worry, Master may not like these things, but he is not incapable of them."

Song Ying had no doubt about this. After all, her master was once a daughter of an official family. Her family taught her how to socialize and interact, and she had been in and out of the palace. Naturally, she was good at this kind of thing.

Doctor Lin pulled Song Ying inside and said to Lin Wenxuan, "I'll leave the outside to you for now. Please entertain them well and don't neglect the guests."

As soon as I entered the room, I heard Luo Yanxing's suppressed angry voice: "I told you, there's a cat locked up in the building. What if so many of you go in and get scared? If you want to see the warehouse, I can open it and show you, but not the small building!"

"What's wrong with that? You are my child, so why should I mind where you live?" Wang had been holding back her anger for the whole day and had no place to vent it. Now she exploded, and her voice was exceptionally loud.

Luo Yanxing was so angry that she wanted to jump up and down. With so many uncles and elders present, she naturally couldn't make some things too clear. She could only talk about the cat, but her mother was clearly pretending to be ignorant.

Seeing how angry Luo Yanxing was with her mother, Song Ying decided to speak up and directly make a point, mocking the shameless Wang. Just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped by Doctor Lin, who said, "Aren't you here to open the storeroom? What's wrong? Can't you find the key?"

Suddenly a strange voice was heard. Everyone in Xinghua Village was startled. They turned around and saw Song Ying and a well-dressed woman standing under the eaves.

After a brief silence, Li asked, "Yingwa, who is this?"

"My last name is Lin. I'm Song Ying's master and Wenxuan's aunt." Doctor Lin spoke without waiting for Song Ying to introduce himself, with a smile on his lips, looking very easy to talk to.

But the slow and steady pace of his speech and the confident look in his eyes all revealed his upbringing and background, which made the villagers of Xinghua Village feel a little uneasy.

Especially since she was Lin Wenxuan's great-aunt, and most of the money for this house was paid by Lin Wenxuan. When she came, Wang, the so-called owner, seemed less confident.

Because of Song Ying's relationship, although the villagers of Xinghua Village did not know about the affairs of the rich and powerful, they were well-known for Doctor Lin. The village chief quickly stepped forward to respond: "So you are Doctor Lin. I have heard of your great name for a long time. I am Zhou Mingyan."

"Village Chief Zhou." Doctor Lin nodded slightly at him, then looked at Li, "You must be Song Ying's grandmother. I was in a hurry last time and didn't go to your house to pay my respects to you. I'm really rude. Please forgive me."

Li was embarrassed. Their granddaughter was learning from them, so they should be grateful to them and invite them to their home. But they never expressed their gratitude and even did not take the initiative to invite them to their home for tea and dinner when they arrived in the village.

"No, no, no, it's us who should ask for your forgiveness." Mrs. Li waved her hands repeatedly, "The child is young and doesn't know the etiquette. She didn't inform us when you arrived in the village. If she knew, we should have taken the initiative to greet you."

Song Ying rolled her eyes and pushed the responsibility onto her again. It was obvious that they were at the village chief's house at the time and so many people knew about it. She just didn't believe that the villagers wouldn't tell them when they came back.

Doctor Lin raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised, but quickly calmed down and smiled, "Song Ying is a very polite child. There must be some misunderstanding."

"Haha," Li laughed dryly, "Maybe there's a misunderstanding."

Song Ying pursed her lips to hold back her smile, she was very happy in her heart, hehe, Master won't let you put the blame on me.

At the same time, she couldn't help but think carefully. If it was herself or someone else who said this, her grandmother would definitely say it was a ridiculous misunderstanding. In the final analysis, whether the words would work or not depended on one's identity.

If you have a high enough status, people will agree with you when you say something nonsense and think it makes sense.

"Master, you must be tired. Sit down and take a rest first." She happily helped Doctor Lin to the courtyard to prepare a square table in advance. Doctor Lin sat down on the side and did not forget to teach Song Ying, "The upper seats should be reserved for the elders. Go and invite the two old people to come and sit down.

I've been here for quite some time, and you let me stand there. What kind of words are you talking about? I just said you know how to be polite, but now you've slapped me in the face."

Glancing at the villagers who looked embarrassed, Song Ying was very happy in his heart, but he said, "It's our fault for being too busy and not bringing the uncles and aunts in personally."

"Since you are busy opening your business today, I won't punish you for now. But you must remember this in the future. Etiquette cannot be abolished." Over and over again, Doctor Lin kept focusing on the word "etiquette". The dull-witted people couldn't understand it and thought that people from wealthy families had more rules, but the village chief, a smart man, naturally understood it.

Doctor Lin was mocking them for wandering into other people's homes and forcing the door open, which was rude. His old face turned red with embarrassment.

With the master keeping watch in the backyard, Song Ying was not worried about them wandering around. He poured them some tea, brought them some snacks and fruits, and then went out with Luo Yanxing.

Although locking the door when guests come to the house may indicate distrust of the guests, every family in the village would lock the bedroom where valuables are kept when they have a big event. Some families would even move the meat in the kitchen and lock it in the bedroom.

These people just relied on their elder status to bully the children, and took it for granted that they could use the key to open the door.

They were busy until the afternoon, when Doctor Ma came over from Huichun Hall. They then closed the door and led the group to Ruyi Tower.

At the dinner table, the village chief said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the most promising people in our village are actually two little girls."

This made many people feel uncomfortable. Zhou forced a smile and said, "Yanxing, you have made great progress as a sister, but you must not forget your brothers. Doctor Xiaolin and Song Ying are usually in the clinic. I'm afraid you can't handle it alone. Why don't you let your cousin help you? You can also teach him how to do business. Once he teaches you, Fourth Aunt will give you a big red envelope."

"Aunt Fourth, my mother and her family have used this trick before. They said this when they asked Song Ying to teach us to read. As a result, we learned it, but they kept silent about it and didn't even say thank you. Don't try to fool me. I won't fall for it."
