Chapter 120 A Father with No Clues
"Heh..." Upon hearing Lin Dayou's explanation, Madam Lin couldn't help but snort coldly. Although she was somewhat skeptical, she didn't continue to beat Lin Dayou.
"Wife, you shouldn't be angry anymore, right?" Lin Dayou asked shamelessly as he saw Lin Wangshi stop.
"Dad, how can you be so clueless?" Lin Wentao, who was standing aside watching Lin Dayou get beaten up, couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lin Dayou's smug look.
"You little brat, get out of here." Lin Dayou was embarrassed by Lin Wentao's words and wanted to kick him out.
"Father is shameless." Lin Wentao made a face at Lin Dayou and then pulled Lin Luoning to the kitchen.
Finally, everyone was gone from the main room, and Lin Dayou tried to shamelessly coax Lin Wang again.
"You better watch yourself in broad daylight." Madam Lin thought that Lin Dayou was too easily swayed, and if she wanted to live a more comfortable life in the future, she would have to be firm herself.
So, after Lin Dayou gave her a fawning smile, she kept a straight face and didn't give him a friendly look.
"Mother, I'm back." Just as Lin Dayou was scratching his head, thinking about how to appease Lin Wangshi, Lin Luoxi returned with a beaming smile.
"Daughter, how was that?" When Lin Wangshi saw Lin Luoxi, a smile returned to her face, and she went to greet her with anticipation.
Not only did Madam Lin look at Lin Luoxi with expectant eyes, but even the Lin siblings and Xie Hanchuan in the kitchen all poked their heads out when they heard Lin Luoxi's voice, wanting to hear what was going on.
"Mom, we've already discussed the land purchase and new house construction with Chun Zhousheng. Zhousheng is very happy for us and said he'll come to the county with me this afternoon."
Seeing Lin Wangshi looking at her expectantly, Lin Luoxi immediately shared the good news with everyone.
When Lin Zhousheng heard that his family was going to build a house, he was stunned for a moment. After all, building a house, even a mud-brick house, would cost a lot of money.
But when he thought of the sensational visit of Lord Su to Wutong Village, and how he had personally witnessed Lord Su giving the Lin family so many silver ingots, he felt that building a new house was a small matter for the Lin family.
In addition, since Lin Luoxi is now in charge of the Lin family, they didn't hesitate and immediately started negotiating with her.
Upon learning that Lin Luoxi not only wanted to build a new house but also buy land, they were slightly shocked. However, the two agreed to go to the city in the afternoon to take care of the matter.
"Okay, okay, but why did the village chief agree so quickly?" Lin Wangshi was very curious, and she even said that she would go to the county to register and make a list in the afternoon. The speed at which things were done was too fast.
"Mother, it's good that it's fast. I was hoping the new house would be finished soon so I wouldn't have to live in this leaky house anymore." Looking at the muddy floor inside the house, Lin Luoxi felt utterly helpless.
"Yes, indeed..." Madam Lin frowned, looking at her feet covered in mud and water. It would be best to live in a house that wouldn't leak.
"Alright, let's stop here for now and eat quickly. After we finish eating, I still need to go to the city." Time was of the essence, and Lin Luoxi hoped that the land purchase and house construction could be finalized as soon as possible.
“Daughter, what about me…” Ever since Lin Luoxi came back, she hasn’t given Lin Dayou a single extra glance, and Lin Dayou is starting to get anxious.
"What's wrong with you??" Lin Luoxi didn't understand what Lin Dayou meant and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Me? Don't I have to go with you?" Lin Dayou started to get anxious when he saw that Lin Luoxi had no intention of letting him come along.
"What are you doing coming with us? Aren't you afraid your parents will find out you're building a house?"
“I’m in charge of this family. I’ll go with Uncle Zhou. You’d better not show your face, lest the Lin family…” Lin Luoxi directly retorted to Lin Dayou’s words verbatim.
"I, I..." Lin Da blushed and felt embarrassed after being rebuked by his daughter again.
"Pfft, daughter, your father just assured me that we'll build our house openly and honestly, and we're not afraid of anyone causing trouble." Seeing that Lin Dayou was speechless after being rebuked by her daughter, Lin Wangshi couldn't help but laugh. Considering how eager Lin Dayou was to prove himself, she stepped in to explain.
"Oh!" Lin Luoxi simply said "oh," turned her head, and walked towards the kitchen.
Before turning his head, he winked at Madam Lin, showing a little mischief.
“Wife, look at her…” Lin Luoxi didn’t tell him to come along, but just said “Oh”, which made Lin Dayou even more anxious. He immediately looked at Lin Wangshi with a wronged expression, hoping that Lin Wangshi would help him plead for her.
"Alright, let's eat first. You're still hungry, aren't you?" After receiving Lin Luoxi's hint, Madam Lin smiled and walked towards the kitchen, regardless of how anxious Lin Dayou was.
The only place in the whole house that doesn't leak is probably the kitchen.
Compared to the damp main room, everyone in the Lin family now prefers to stay in the kitchen.
Lunch was not casual either; it was pork that Lin Luoxi had taken out of her spatial storage early that morning.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, their mouths greasy with oil.
"Enjoy your meal, I have something to do and need to go out. Big brother, you all stay home and review what Doctor Yang taught you yesterday," Lin Luoxi instructed Lin Wenqian and the others before leaving.
"Understood." Even without Lin Ruoxi's instructions, Lin Wenqian would have done so, after all, he couldn't let this rare learning opportunity go to waste.
"Third brother, fourth sister, if you don't understand something, remember to ask your eldest brother. Don't pretend to know what you don't, understand?"
Seeing the longing for learning in Lin Wenqian's eyes and his own plans, Lin Luoxi didn't say much, and then looked at Lin Wentao and Lin Luoning.
"Second sister, don't worry, we will definitely be very obedient." Lin Wentao admired Lin Luoxi the most, so naturally he listened to Lin Luoxi's words.
"Second sister, we'll be good at home. When you go to the city, could you bring me some candy back?" She had lived two lives and had never tasted sweet candy.
"Okay, as long as you behave, I'll definitely bring you candy back." Lin Luoxi always grants her younger siblings' requests.
After explaining things to her family, Lin Luoxi left with peace of mind.
"Daughter, daughter, take me with you..." Lin Da hurriedly chased after her when he saw that Lin Ruoxi really didn't intend to take him with her.
He's the pillar of the family, so how could he not go about such a big thing as buying land and building a house himself?
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace to catch up with Lin Luoxi.
It's unclear whether it was because the heavens knew the Lin family was going to build a new house and were infected by it, but the heavy rain, which was expected to last a long time, miraculously stopped the moment Lin Luoxi stepped out.
