Chapter 32: Free Labor



It's just nice talk, trying to fool him like a fool.

"Oh, I didn't say that. I just wanted to let you know how much I care about you."

"I felt bad about it, so I wanted to help you. But you said no, and that made me even sadder."

After he finished speaking, there was a real sadness on his face, which made Lin Erzhi feel a little moved.

Seeing the emotion in his eyes, she was delighted and decided to press on. She immediately said, "Third brother, you can't let me down."

"Besides, Mom would be sad to see us brothers not getting along, right?"

Seeing the seriousness and concern in his eyes, Lin Sanzhi was a little skeptical. Could it be that he really was doing this for his own good? He had misunderstood.

He coughed lightly and said seriously, "But my family is really not busy right now. If I get busy, I will come to you, right?"

I was still a little disappointed, but when I thought about it, it wasn't like nothing had changed, I felt relieved and continued, "Hey, it's not like you have to ask your second sister-in-law to come over and help make the cakes. You can do something else, too."

"We're not picky about who comes to help. As long as we can help, that's fine."

When Lin Sanzhi heard this, he felt it was really difficult to refuse, but he really didn't know much about doing these things at home, but he didn't want to lose face.

So he said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I would be embarrassed to ask you to do some rough work."

"Please wait for a few days. I'll let Qiaoxin make all the arrangements."

Seeing the smug look in his eyes, Lin Erzhi cursed in his heart.

It’s just selling steamed buns, but you really think you’re the boss and make all the arrangements.

If he didn't want to learn pastry making, he wouldn't have come here to waste time telling him all this.

But a happy smile appeared on his face, and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, then it's settled. I feel relieved now, and my mother will be happy too."

After he left, Lin Qiaoxin went into the house.

Then he saw Lin Sanzhi sitting cross-legged on the bed with a smug look on his face. He asked curiously, "Dad, what did Second Uncle say to you just now?"

"Hehe, of course it means that I should agree to them coming to help."

"Look, now your dad is at least a boss, and my family is rich, so he's trying to curry favor with me."

"Isn't it just like the saying goes, if you ignore me today, I will make you out of my league tomorrow." After saying that, he raised his head and laughed even more proudly.

When Lin Qiaoxin heard this, she found it a little funny, but she managed to hold it back.

When did you start showing off so early? Wouldn't you be even more arrogant when you become rich in the future?

"Have you told Second Uncle that you agree? You absolutely must not agree."

"Who knows what they're up to? They're probably trying to steal our skills, so we have to be careful."

Hearing her say this, Lin Sanzhi immediately raised his hand and patted his head, as if he had suddenly realized something. "You know what, it's really possible."

Then a look of annoyance appeared on his face, "But I just promised you that I would find something for them to do."

Lin Qiaoxin lowered her head and rolled her eyes. It was probably because her second uncle had just said something nice to her, and after being coaxed by him, she let down her guard.

He frowned and sighed in a somewhat embarrassed manner, "I understand. Since I've already agreed, I can only be more cautious."

But she was laughing in her heart. The free labor could not be wasted. Since she had to come, don't blame her for not being polite when the time comes.

The reason why he pretended to be in a difficult situation was just because he wanted Lin Sanzhi to remember that this was not an easy thing and he should not forget everything next time when he was coaxed by others.

As expected, seeing her embarrassed look, Lin Sanzhi felt a little guilty and coughed awkwardly, "Well, if it's difficult, then let's do it later."

"Anyway, I've already told him that I'm not that busy right now. I'll talk to him when I'm busy."

"Anyway, I'll just take a look in the next few days." After saying that, a light flashed quickly in his bright eyes, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

So a few days later she told Lin Sanzhi that she could ask Wang Chunhua to come and help.

When Wang Chunhua came over with a happy face, Lin Qiaoxin also greeted her with a smile, "Second Mother is here!"

"I'm sorry to bother you with this."

Wang Chunhua's eyes narrowed into slits when she smiled, and her eyeballs could not be seen clearly. She even took her hand and patted it, showing her intimacy.

"No, it's not a bother, but please don't be so formal with Second Mother."

"Okay then. I'll have to trouble you to help boil the pot first." After saying that, he turned around and started busying himself with wrapping the stuffing without waiting for her to react.

Mrs. Niu was just busy kneading the dough without saying a word.

The corners of her mouth twitched. She never expected that she would be asked to cook. What a joke! When she was at home, she would wait for her second daughter to come home from school to cook.

She rarely does things herself, but now she is asked to boil the pot! This damn girl must have done it on purpose.

He was very dissatisfied, but so what? In order to learn the skills secretly, he could only endure it temporarily. However, he was still a little unwilling, so he gritted his teeth and spoke out.

"Qiao Xin, I'm afraid I can't cook well. Why don't you let me learn how to make osmanthus cake? That way you can save a lot of trouble, right?"

Lin Qiaoxin was instantly both angry and amused. Would this person dare to be more straightforward and learn to make pastries? Did he really think she was a fool?

He coughed lightly and spoke seriously.

"Second Mother, it's not that I don't allow you to do this. Every step in making cakes is very important. Look, even when Aunt Niu came, she still started by boiling the pot."
