Chapter 62 Those awful relatives are causing trouble again.
Lin Luoxi handed the string of cash in her hand to Lin Wangshi as she spoke.
"You don't need to give it to me. You earned it yourself, so you can keep it."
"Besides, we agreed before that you would be the head of our household, so we trust you completely."
When Lin Wangshi heard Lin Luoxi say that she would let her keep the money, she was so frightened that she quickly waved her hand.
She held the coin, her hands trembling slightly. Lin Luoxi said it was just a small amount of money; if it were a large sum, she probably would have fainted from excitement.
Besides, if Lin Dayou wanted to use the money to subsidize the Lin family, she wouldn't be able to stop him. It would be better to let Lin Luoxi keep it.
In the past few days, she has finally discovered that her daughter's personality is even more fierce and capable than when she was younger. With the money in her hands, the whole family feels at ease.
"Alright, Mother, it's getting late. Go buy the pot, otherwise Doctor Yang will be here soon." Lin Luoxi had already given the money to Lin Wangshi for safekeeping, and Lin Wangshi, terrified, didn't mention giving her the money again.
"Alright, we don't need that many pots, just 150 coins will do. As for the rest, daughter, keep it safe. Don't flaunt your wealth, okay? Don't tell anyone how much money you have."
As they spoke, Madam Lin had already put the counted 150 coins into her bosom, and returned all the rest of the money to Lin Luoxi without missing a single coin.
"Okay!" Seeing that Lin Wangshi insisted, Lin Luoxi could only reach out and put the extra money into her pocket.
Lin Dayou and Lin Wangshi went out, leaving only Lin Luoxi busy in the kitchen.
When Lin Wenqian and Lin Luoning came out, there were seven or eight chickens, plus the people Lin Dayou wanted to add to the meal, and then three more were killed, making a total of ten pheasants, which was just enough to handle.
"Big brother, you're here. Let's set up that broken pot first and use it for now!" Lin Luoxi quickly assigned tasks when she saw Lin Wenqian come out.
"Sister, what about me? I want to do some work too." Lin Luoning, dressed in her new clothes, was in a great mood and automatically sought out Lin Luoxi for chores to do.
"Oh, little beauty, you have to do chores too? Then could you please sweep our yard?" Lin Luoning had small arms and legs, so Lin Luoxi didn't intend to let Lin Luoning go into the kitchen to help.
"Okay!" Lin Luoning didn't care what kind of work it was; she was in a good mood today and readily agreed.
"Hey, I must say, little sister looks really good in pink." Lin Wenqian said with a smile as he watched Lin Luoning skip and hop to find a broom.
"That's right, look who picked it." Lin Luoxi said confidently, raising her chin.
"Hehe..." Lin Wenqian liked the confident glow that Lin Luoxi possessed, no matter the situation.
"Brother, is the pot hot enough?" Lin Luoxi took out the pig hair, intending to use the pot to scald the pig skin to remove the pig smell.
"Brother, this piece of pork looks great today. How about we use it to make boiled pork?" Lin Luoxi was really craving boiled pork slices.
"What's so good about boiled pork slices? The taste is so bland. Let's stir-fry it instead!" Lin Wenqian still prefers the kind of taste where your mouth is full of oil after just one bite.
"Well, if that's the case, then let's make two portions. We'll see if my boiled pork slices or stir-fried pork is more popular." Anyway, the pork I bought yesterday was enough.
"Okay, sure." As long as he could eat until his mouth was full of oil, Lin Wenqian didn't care.
The two or three of them were busy preparing food at home, but Lin Dayou's attempt to call for help was not so smooth.
As Lin Dayou, along with his clan elder, the village chief, and the young man from the village who had gone up the mountain with him the day before to help find Lin Luoxi, walked onto the road, a person blocked their way.
"Hey, Lin Dayou, you're wearing new clothes today. Looks like you made a lot of money from the tiger meat yesterday." Lin Daguang's eyes gleamed with an astonishingly bright jealousy when he saw Lin Dayou's brand-new clothes.
The villagers who followed had the same thought; they all pricked up their ears and stared intently at Lin Dayou.
As long as Lin Dayou does something even slightly off, they can tell that he has really made money.
Lin Dayou's family must have made a lot of money, otherwise, how could Lin Dayou, who was so poor that he could only afford to eat the wind, have the money to treat the clan elders and the village chief to a meal?
If they remembered correctly, the young men following behind were the same young men who had gone up the mountain yesterday to help search for the Lin family's silly girl.
"Look at what Brother Lin is saying, he didn't actually earn much. Besides repaying the emergency loans from Brother Zhou and my uncle's family, he also has to pay for my Sanlang's medical expenses."
"That probably isn't enough. By the way, could it be that Brother Lin has had a change of heart, knowing you beat my son to a pulp, and is going to send some money for his medical expenses?"
Lin Dayou has been pressured by Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian these past few days, and now he feels intimidated whenever he sees Lin Daguang's family.
Furthermore, he discovered today that Lin Daguang's eyes were filled with jealousy and greed; he could never stand to see him doing well, and he brought so many people over to embarrass him.
Lin Daguang's face was so disgusting; all the old grudges erupted at this moment.
The villagers who had initially heard Lin Daguang say that Lin Dayou's mentally challenged daughter had made a lot of money selling that tiger now had greed in their eyes.
But after hearing what Lin Dayou said, I began to feel sorry for him.
As long as Lin Wentao in his family hasn't woken up, it's a bottomless pit; no matter how much money he earns, it's useless.
Those who had originally intended to cheer him on and test Lin Dayou's abilities abandoned their plans and instead looked at him with pity.
"Hmph, I'm having trouble even eating right now, and you expect me to give you money? I'm afraid you're just delusional and daydreaming all day long." Lin Daguang blocked the road, trying to swindle Lin Dayou's family out of their financial situation.
But looking at Lin Dayou now, he doesn't seem to be suffering from the financial hardship of earning money; he immediately changed his attitude.
"By the way, when you invited these people to your house, did you mean you were going to treat them to a meal? You unfilial son, my parents and I are starving to death at home, and you didn't even mention treating us to a meal."
"No, I'm going home right now and I'll have my parents come over for dinner." With so many people around, Lin Daguang had the audacity to make such a request.
"Hmph, I see you have hands and feet, but you don't know how to go out and make money. All you do is try to take advantage of others. If you really can't afford to live, you might as well take a rope and hang yourself."
The clan elder stood behind Lin Dayou and the village chief, supported by his own young men, and was so angry at Lin Daguang's shameless words that he could no longer hold back.
Pushing aside Lin Dayou and the village chief, he pointed at Lin Daguang and cursed, his hand trembling with anger.
This is truly an eye-opener. How come I never saw Lin Daguang so shameless before? He has hands and feet, yet he doesn't know how to make money. All he does is try to leech off his brother.
