"Grandpa, it's you?" Lin Yun said with a smile.
This old man was none other than the same old man he had met at the market yesterday morning whose tricycle had been confiscated and who had given the man 3,000 yuan.
He admired the old man's character. He was willing to kneel down to the law enforcement officers to prevent his tricycle from being confiscated, but when he offered them three thousand yuan, they refused to accept it. It was only after his insistence and even his slight use of mental power to influence them that they finally accepted the money.
What is rightfully yours is yours, and what is not rightfully yours is not yours. This kind of character is not something that ordinary people can possess.
“Young man, I can’t accept the money you gave me last time. I don’t know why at the time…” the old man said quickly, remembering something.
"Uncle, as I said before, that money is nothing to me, so please take it without worry!" Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
“How could that be? Young man, you must be trying to get me to accept that money, that’s why you said that. How could you possibly earn much by hauling vegetables like this? This is all hard-earned money…” the old man shook his head.
“I don’t have that money with me right now. I’ll give it to you when we get home later…” the old man continued.
"Uncle, didn't I tell you last time that my dad's tricycle was also confiscated? I just came back from outside, and now I'm helping my dad transport the vegetables from home to the city. No matter how much I earn, I can't just abandon the vegetables at home. They were all grown by my parents with great effort. It's not about the money..." Lin Yun said with a smile.
As he spoke, he released his spiritual power again, subtly influencing the old man.
He didn't want to talk to the old man about this anymore.
Three thousand yuan is nothing to him, but it is very important to this old man. The old man's character is also worth the three thousand yuan.
"It's all from hard work...it's not about the money..." the old man murmured, startled.
"Young man, you... are really good. There are so few young people who think like this these days..." the old man said with emotion.
"Let's not talk about the money for now, young man. Are you going to the city? Let me help you push the cart. I may be a bit old, but I still have some strength..." Then, the old man looked at the cart of vegetables that Lin Yun was pulling and said.
As he spoke, he had already started pushing the cart.
"Thank you very much, sir!"
Seeing this, Lin Yun laughed.
He did not refuse.
He knew that the old man was a very principled person.
If he didn't let the old man help him push the cart, the old man would probably immediately take him to his house to get money.
Although his mental power can influence some of the other party's decisions, his current mental power is not very strong, and this influence cannot be too coercive.
Perhaps he could use more mental energy to force the old man to do something, but he didn't want to do that, as it would be too taxing on him.
This is just a small matter; there's no need to make a fuss about it.
Next, Lin Yun pulled the cart in front while the old man pushed it from behind, and the two talked all the way.
Because Lin Yun controlled his strength, the old man behind the car didn't feel tired. The old man was also very healthy and walked without much effort. The two chatted happily all the way.
From the old man's words, Lin Yun knew that the man was from a nearby village. He had two sons, two daughters, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He lived with his two sons, and each family would stay for a period of time.
Because his two sons live close to each other, he usually buys things for both of them together.
With a large population, there are naturally many things to buy. Therefore, he often drives his tricycle to the wholesale market to buy vegetables, fruits, and the like. Driving an electric tricycle on such a long distance saves him some effort and doesn't require much electricity.
"Is that you?" Just as they were getting closer to the city, a girl's voice suddenly came from the side, deep and resonant.
"Li Yan?"
"Yanyan?"
Lin Yun and the old man turned their heads and saw a girl riding an electric bike next to them. One was surprised and the other was delighted.
This girl is Li Yan, the girl Lin Yun went on a blind date with yesterday.
However, at this moment, the girl's expression was not good.
“Lin Yun! You didn’t say a word during dinner yesterday, and I thought you were an honest person! Now I realize that I underestimated you! You found my grandfather so quickly. Did you see that I rejected you and then try to get in through my family?” Li Yan said with a stern face.
Because of her good looks, she has encountered many boys who pursued her since she was a child, using all sorts of methods. She hates the kind of people who are persistent and even involve their families the most.
Family is a very private relationship, and I believe few people like it. Someone who doesn't like it might try to pursue themselves by starting with their family.
"Li Yan, you've misunderstood," Lin Yun said calmly.
He never expected that the old man was actually Li Yan's grandfather; however, the other party had clearly misunderstood him.
"It's fine if you don't admit it, or maybe my aunt didn't make it clear to you yesterday. Now, I'll tell you again: you're not my type, and don't try to get close to me in any way. Even if my grandfather and my parents approve of you, I won't approve of you. Your way of pursuing me will only disgust me!" Li Yan said coldly.
"Yan Yan, how can you talk like that? Apologize to him right now!" The old man trembled with anger upon hearing Li Yan's words.
He was happy to see his granddaughter come over. He suddenly realized that he hadn't asked Lin Yun if he had a girlfriend yet. If not, he thought he could introduce them. In short, he thought Lin Yun was a good match, and it would be wonderful if Lin Yun could be with his granddaughter.
He never expected that Lin Yun and Li Yan knew each other, and that Li Yan would say such hurtful things.
Lin Yun was both amused and annoyed.
He didn't know where this girl got her confidence to say such a thing.
Perhaps the other person is prettier?
But in his opinion, she was nothing special, not even a tenth as pretty as Xia Qingqing.
He wanted to tell her he had a girlfriend and that she shouldn't be so narcissistic, but seeing how angry the old man was, he sighed slightly.
In any case, he got along quite well with the old man along the way. The girl was the old man's granddaughter, so he gave the old man face.
Besides, shouldn't men be more magnanimous?
“I think you’ve misunderstood. I knew your grandfather before we had dinner together,” Lin Yun said, shaking his head.
Then, Lin Yun looked at the old man and said with a smile, "Grandpa, we're almost in the city, you don't need to help anymore. Let's chat again next time we meet!"
After saying that, Lin Yun turned around, put a little effort into pulling the cart, and quickly left.
Only then did Li Yan realize that the truckload of vegetables actually belonged to Lin Yun.
Isn't that right?
Yesterday, when she and her best friend went to dinner with Lin Yun, Lin Yun was pulling a cart. However, at that time, Lin Yun was pulling an empty cart, but now it was fully loaded, so she didn't recognize him at first.
Discovering this made her even angrier.
She thought that Lin Yun was using the excuse of helping her grandfather pull the cart to build a relationship with him.
Unexpectedly, it was her grandfather who helped push the car, which made her think even more that Lin Yun was not simple and not so honest, and she became even more disgusted with this boy.
