In just one day, everyone knew that Lin Qingyou had made a lot of money outside and was living a very impressive life.

Although they still live in the Lin family's dilapidated courtyard, they are accompanied by several servants who bring back whatever they need to eat and use from the town.

The Lin family has been living in a dream these past two days, unable to believe that their family has produced such a wealthy person.

"Qingyou." Old Mrs. Lin looked at her son happily. After more than ten years, Lin Qingyou had become much rounder than before, dressed in fine clothes. If Lin Qingyou hadn't spoken, she wouldn't have dared to recognize him as her son.

"How big of a business have you run to have so many people serving you?" Old Mrs. Lin counted and found that there were five maids and servants, and they were all dressed better than her.

"Mother, there aren't many people to serve you. There are others in town."

Grandma Lin's mouth dropped open when she heard that. "Oh my, there's more? Where do they live?"

"I found an inn for them to stay at for now." Lin Qingyou knew that his home couldn't accommodate so many people, so he didn't bring them all back.

Grandma Lin didn't know how many people were in the town, but when she heard they were staying at an inn, she was heartbroken. "Why are they staying at an inn? They're already at our home, why waste money? Quick, send someone to call them back."

“The cowshed in our backyard is still empty, let them live in the cowshed.”

The Lin family's cowshed is drafty from all sides. In this weather, anyone who lives in a cowshed would probably freeze to death in one night.

"Mother, I don't need that little bit of money. Let them stay at the inn." Let alone letting the innkeepers stay in the cowshed, Lin Qingyou, having not returned for over ten years, even felt a little uncomfortable sleeping at home.

That's true. Having gotten used to living in nicer places, he barely slept at all last night on this hard bed at home.

"Oh right, my son has money now." Although Grandma Lin felt bad about the money, thinking about it made her feel much better.

"Mother," Lin Qingyou looked at her, "you haven't explained Xiu Niang's matter to me yet."

Xiu Niang is Lu Sheng's mother.

When he returned yesterday, the whole family looked for him, but he didn't see his wife and daughter. When he asked, his family members all hesitated and gave vague answers. Then many people came to the Lin family. At the time, Lin Qingyou didn't pursue the matter further.

Old Mrs. Lin plopped down on the stool next to her, and the maid that Lin Qingyou had brought immediately poured her hot tea.

"Oh, that's right." Old Mrs. Lin's eyes flickered. "A few years ago, there was a natural disaster. A torrential rain collapsed the house, and Xiu Niang was crushed to death inside."

Lin Qingyou's expression immediately turned strange. Old Mrs. Lin glanced at him and hurriedly explained, "There's nothing we can do about it. She wasn't the only one who had an accident; she was just unlucky."

Lin Qingyou thought for a moment. Since his daughter had a good relationship with the Xu family, it was only right for him, as her father, to visit and express his gratitude.
