Chapter 589
The children also listened with gusto.
On the way home, Sanwang couldn’t help but reminisce and review the highlights for everyone.

Lin Mei’s family returned home and the couple went to the kang in the evening. Zheng Yaozu couldn’t help but mutter to her, “Lin Mei, isn’t it strange? My Third Sister-in-law almost seemed to have changed her entire character. You see, she looks so much younger than how she looked in the previous couple of years and she’s as pretty as a flower.”
Lin Lan was now calm and optimistic, smiling all day long. When Zheng Yaozu glanced at her like that, why did he feel like she looked the same as she did when he dated Lin Mei?
She was still beautiful, but there was a tinge of maturity and serenity.
Lin Mei glared at him and said, “You better shut up. My sister’s beauty is only for my brother-in-law to see, what’s it to you?”
Zheng Yaozu, “Isn’t that what I’m saying? Then Han Qingsong looks quite impressive as well. Do you not have the slightest hint of jealousy? If you had fought with my sister-in-law and not given him up to her, you could have been the wife of the Director.”
Lin Mei spat at him, “Alright that’s it, you are just coveting my sister’s beauty, but I advise you to not think about it. Why would she want to marry a scrawny pretty face like you, knowing that she’d have to take over the role of being the man in the household? If my sister had married into your family, she would have become Gan Huahua(2) in no time instead of the beauty you see today.”
(T/N: Lin Lan’s birth name is Lan Huahua, which literally translates to ‘Orchid Flower’. The pun here is using Gan, which means dry, and emphasising that Lin Lan would have become a dry flower)
