Old Man Yan nodded. "Yes. He said the treatment takes one month. I will call those old fellows later and say it needs three months. Let Old Four rest properly."
"Correct," Second Uncle Yan Hongyi agreed. "Give Old Four more days to rest. It saves him from being busy again when he returns."
"By the way," Hua Yaohui, Yan Zhaoxia’s husband, seemed to remember something. "I heard from someone that some elders over there want to arrange a marriage with one of the other two families. They are picking suitable candidates now."
"Ignore it. Pretend we don’t know," Old Man Yan said directly. "Let them pick. We just won’t agree. Do those old fellows get to boss around my Yan family’s daughter-in-law? Besides, our Old Four is not a block of wood. They can’t control him. If they anger him, they will suffer. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps." He rubbed his arms to show his reaction.
"I remember after that incident, Old Four investigated. He found out Bai Yaxuan from the Bai family did it. Then Old Four sent her to that place," Yan Hongyi smiled. That place was where madmen went, a headache for top elites. Bai Yaxuan would suffer there. Because of this, the Beijing Bai family fell from second-tier to below third-tier. That was the result of plotting against Yan Aohan.
Thinking of this, the rest of the Yan family wanted to see what happened to those elders who plotted against Yan Aohan. It wasn’t that they enjoyed others’ misfortune. They just needed some fun in their boring days.
Yan Aohan in Sicheng Town didn’t know about the Yan family’s situation. He only got a reply saying he had a three-month leave. After hearing this from Zhang Haifeng, he raised an eyebrow slightly. "Three months?"
Zhang Haifeng nodded. "Grandpa told them himself. He said you need three months to recover."
Yan Aohan nodded. This was indeed something his father would do. But thinking about it, spending three quiet months here wasn’t bad. The conditions here were worse than Beijing, but the people were honest. There was less plotting and calculating. He felt comfortable here. Plus, someone prepared his food and drink carefully every day. Yan Aohan was satisfied with this life. At least for now, he wanted a break. Also, he didn’t understand some things. Lately, strange memories kept flashing in his mind. He felt they were his, but something sealed them. He sensed the key to unlocking this seal was Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi followed the original plan to treat Yan Aohan with acupuncture. The wound on her back was on the spine. If it were slightly deeper, Zhu Yanyi was sure Yan Aohan would be paralyzed. She sighed at her luck. "Your luck is really good. The wound is on the spine. If it were a bit deeper, you would be disabled."
Yan Aohan kept a straight face. "My luck is indeed good. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met you, little doctor Ani."
