Lin Zheyun may not be good at studying, but he's certainly not stupid.

He took out his favorite slingshot.

This slingshot was a gift from his father, Lin Weiming. It was made of tiger tendon, making it not only durable but also strong.

If you have enough strength, even a small pebble is enough to shoot down a bird.

Lin Zheyun usually cherishes her dearly and won't let her two younger brothers touch her.

But today, he made a deal with his two younger brothers using this slingshot: "Hey, if you let me have this today, I'll let you play with this slingshot all day, okay?"

"No, there's only one slingshot, and there are two of us. That's not enough to play with." Lin Zihan had a clever plan in mind.

"Tsk!" Lin Zheyun glared and said, "But even if you win today, only one of you can go!"

As soon as he said it, Lin Zheyun understood. He laughed and said, "Hehe, whoever wins today lets me have it, so I'll lend them the slingshot to play with!"

The third and fourth brothers are twins and are always inseparable. If he wants to win, he can only undermine the enemy's internal relations.

“But second brother, if neither of us lets you win, you’re going to lose anyway.” Lin Zihan gave a “cunning” smile: “If you let us play for two days, we’ll let you win together, and then you’ll definitely be able to help out at the shop.”

"That's right, Second Brother, if we go to the shop to help out, we can not only eat delicious roasted sweet potato noodles, but also play with my sister. Hehe, my sister even bought apricots for me to eat," Lin Ziqiu tempted.

Lin Zheyun: "..."

He wiped the drool from his mouth and laboriously handed over the slingshot: "Alright! You can play with it for two days, but you two have to let me have it. If you're lying, I'll beat you to death!"

Lin Zheyun squinted and waved his little fist.

"Don't worry, don't worry! Second brother, we definitely won't lie to you." Seeing this, the twins smiled at each other and quickly took the slingshot from Lin Zheyun's hand.

As expected, the two kept their word and, having accepted the bribe, gave Lin Zheyun the reward for helping out at the store.

Lin Zheyun got her wish and went to the shop early the next morning to help out.

"Hehe~ Dad, I'm here to play... oh no, I'm here to help."

Lin Weiming: "..."

Get out of my way!

Who let his stupid son out?

...

The twins learned very quickly. They were naturally smart children, but they were young and playful. As long as they studied hard, they completed the task left by Master Cui in no time.

Xuefu had prepared lunch when she saw the two brothers idly holding slingshots, preparing to deal with the neighbor's chicks. She quickly pulled them aside and assigned them a task.

"Since you two are free, take your lunch to your older brother so he doesn't have to make the trip."

"Alright!" Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu happily accepted the task and took the wooden box.

Seeing the two of them about to run out, Xuefu followed behind and warned them, "Be careful, don't talk to strangers, and come back as soon as you've delivered the things. Be careful of kidnappers, or they might kidnap you and sell you."

"Mom, don't worry, we definitely won't talk to just anyone," the two assured her.

They had also come to Zhujiao Academy with their elder brother before and still remembered the route.

The two walked and talked, and their pace was not slow.

Just as they reached the door, they were stopped by an old man with a fishing rod.

"You two look unfamiliar. What are you here for?" the old man with the fishing rod asked.

"Ah...we came to bring lunch to our older brother. It's almost lunchtime now," Lin Zihan said, looking up.

The old man with the fishing rod sniffed: "Really? You're not kidding, are you?"

"Who are you?" Lin Ziqiu tugged at his third brother's sleeve and asked with some suspicion.

"Me?" The old man with the fishing rod pointed at himself and laughed. "I'm the one who opens the gate for this academy! You said you came to deliver food, so open it and let me see what's inside. There are some things that students can't eat."

The two children were still young and had never studied at a college. When they heard what the old man with the fishing rod said, they obediently opened the wooden box containing the food.

The Lin family's life is getting better and better. Although they don't have meat at every meal yet, Xuefu doesn't forget to buy a fish or half a pound of meat for the family every few days.

She is skilled; even if she buys only a small amount of fish, she can slice it into thin, large pieces and stir-fry it with other side dishes. The result is not only a dish with plenty of meat and a delicious flavor, but also a dish with vibrant and appealing colors.

The old man with the fishing rod swallowed hard, stretched out his hand, and prepared to do it himself, so he could have plenty to eat and wear.

However, Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu were quick enough to put the lid of the wooden box back on.

"Hey? This is for our older brother, we can't let a liar like you eat it." Lin Zihan cautiously put away the wooden box.

"Hey, don't run away!" Seeing the two children about to run away with the wooden box, the old man with the fishing rod shouted after them, "If you come to study, you can pay a few fish instead of tuition."

"Little brother, let's run faster! This guy is definitely an old swindler; he might be trying to sell us both." Lin Zihan finally understood; this old man was definitely...

"Um!"

The two reached an agreement and quickly ran into the academy with the box in their arms.

They found Lin Zhongyuan, who hadn't finished school yet. After waiting for a while, they saw their eldest brother come out: "Third brother, fourth brother? What brought you two here today?"
