The courtyard offered no shelter from the wind or rain, so he had to stay at an inn for another night and planned to find another courtyard the next day.
Unexpectedly, they refused to refund the money.
Does he dare to say no?
Actually, he was brave at first, so he got beaten up and was thrown out into the street.
Those people were very experienced; they didn't hit the face, but only made him hurt all over his body.
There was nothing he could do but suffer in silence. He then switched to another brokerage firm and spent two days renting a decent courtyard house.
Then the family of three went to see a doctor together...
This was the third time he had taken his wife and children on a long trip. He thought someone could help him this time, but in the end he still had to rely on himself, not to mention that he had to take care of one more person.
"Didn't I already give you the money? Didn't I tell you that as long as the house doesn't leak wind or rain, is habitable, and the price is right, you can just rent it!"
"Are you stupid?! You're hungry and thirsty, you're not short of money, don't you know how to buy yourself food? Don't you know how to buy yourself water? Why are you trying to save those few coins?!"
Lin Chaodong felt like he was about to collapse.
After the waiter brought over Da Niu's medicine, Lin Chaodong watched him drink it, but he was too exhausted to say anything more. He closed the door and went back to their room.
How is Da Niu doing?
"I asked with concern," Liu asked.
"It's nothing serious. The doctor said it's just heatstroke. It's not serious. I'll be fine after some rest."
Lin Chaodong lay down on the bed and said with his eyes closed.
"It's good that you're alright! Don't get upset. Da Niu was just trying to save money. Besides, he's still a child. It's his first time doing something on his own, so he's probably unsure of himself and afraid of not doing it well. He was also afraid to go into the inn because he was worried about spending money. He'll be fine in the future."
Liu held the child and gently comforted him. Although she was also a little unhappy, the deed was already done and Lin Chaodong was already angry. If she complained a few more words, it would only add fuel to the fire.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go find a place to stay tomorrow. You can wait at the inn."
Lin Chaodong opened his eyes, sat up, and reached out to hug the child.
Seeing this, Liu smiled gently and placed the child in Lin Chaodong's arms. Judging from Lin Chaodong's skillful way of holding the child, it was clear that he had held the child many times before.
"Dazhuang, this is Qinan Prefecture. Do you like it here? If you do, study hard in the future. If you can become the top scholar in the imperial examination, your mother and I can benefit from your success and go to the capital!"
Ever since Yue Jiuyue said that if Liu Shi and Da Zhuang's health couldn't be cured in the prefecture, they should go to the capital, a dream had been planted in Lin Chaodong's heart.
He is going to the capital.
It wasn't to see a doctor, but to live in the capital.
Living in that bustling metropolis, seeing princes and prime ministers every day, dressed in fine silks and satins, eating delicacies from land and sea, and drinking fine wines and liquors, that life was better than that of a living god!
Lin Chaodong was unaware that there were ordinary people in the capital as well. He entrusted this dream to his son, hoping that his son could help him realize it.
"Keep dreaming! Top scholar, my foot! Becoming a top scholar isn't that easy!"
Liu gently patted Lin Chaodong, but the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile.
"What's the big deal? Our son getting the top score in the exam is a piece of cake!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Your son is the reincarnation of the God of Literature..."
