Lin Yuan finally understood why Mo Sanniang was so disappointed with him; it turned out this fellow was indulging in wishful thinking, still caught up in a beautiful dream.

However, seeing Mo Sanniang’s resolute attitude, Lin Yuan was also relieved. As long as Mo Sanniang didn’t go soft, they needn’t fear that guy’s persistence. It was just his mother and wife who were clearly not easy to deal with. It would be best if they didn’t come looking for trouble again.

After speaking with Mo Sanniang for a while longer, Lin Yuan was urged to head home by Xiao Linshuang, when she suddenly realized it was nearly noon and they still needed to rush back to have lunch with Lady Liu.

After greeting Mo Sanniang, she had Liuzi fetch the floral cloth she bought for Lady Fan and Liu Limin, and then the family hurried back to the Lin family’s valley.

Their trip today had indeed been very fruitful. The renovation workers Liuzi found were very reliable and promised to finish the shop refurbishment within five days without fail.

Lin Yuan had originally planned to leave the supervision of the renovations to Liuzi, but considering the promise she had made to Jin Yuyu, she decided it was better to be present at the store herself.

At home, Xiao Shitou was gripping a brush, practicing the characters from the workbook she had bought for Xiao Linshuang. Auntie couldn’t read, but seeing her grandson’s serious and careful demeanor, she was genuinely delighted. Lady Liu was embroidering with Lin Wei and Xiao He.

It was Xiao He’s first time trying her hand at sewing, and naturally, the product of her efforts was not presentable.

However, Lin Wei was making rapid progress.

After practicing for some days, she could now embroider a simple little sachet by herself.

And the patterns weren’t as monotonous as before.

She had learned to choose her own threads from Lady Liu, resulting in evenly transitioning, smooth, and lifelike lines.

Lin Yuan took out the sweet cakes she had bought in town and gave them to the children, then informed her aunt about Jin Yuyu’s plan to buy a wheelchair, asking her to pass the message to Lin Ershuan when she went back home.

In recent days, Lin Ershuan had put aside his business in town to concentrate on developing various styles of wheelchairs and rocking chairs at home, and he had already made quite a few finished products.

If Jin Yuyu didn’t have any special requirements, Lin Ershuan could surely sell one of the wheelchairs he had made at home.

Hearing such good news from Lin Yuan, Auntie’s face wrinkled further with joy, and she quickly called the two children to go home and tell her son.

Indeed, in less than fifteen minutes, Lin Ershuan burst through the door, exclaiming, "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, is what you said true? Is there really someone who wants to buy a wheelchair?"

Lin Yuan had just handed Lin Ershuan a washbasin to clean his face and was about to throw out the dirty water when she was almost knocked over by him.

Stabilizing the basin in her hand, Lin Yuan chided him with a smile, "Brother Ershuan, do you doubt my word? Then go into the house and ask my father. You must believe what he says, right?"

Second Uncle Lin felt somewhat embarrassed by her words, scratched his head, and chuckled sheepishly, "I—I was just too excited. How could I have imagined that you would find business the moment you went to town, heh heh."

Lin Yuan was also amused by his reaction, and inside the house, Lin Jiaxin, hearing his words, laughed heartily and waved his hand at him.

Lin Yuan quickly dumped out the water, put the basin away, and followed Lin Ershuan inside. Although business had come knocking, there was still a lot to be done.

"Second Uncle, look at this, these are the new designs I’ve been working on these days." True to his word, Lin Ershuan came prepared, bringing all the various wheelchair drawings he had sketched at home.

Lin Jiaxin took them and started looking through them with his daughter, and couldn’t help but view Lin Ershuan in a new light.

There were more than a dozen pages of drawings, each page featuring a different design, and each design was depicted from four different angles—front, back, left, and right—along with specialized close-up diagrams of distinctive features.
