After watching Lin Laosan see Uncle Li to the door and close the gate, Lin Li waved to him.
"Come on, Mom will teach you the basic moves. From now on, you can practice with me every morning and evening!"
Exercise? Mom considers this exercise? Uh! Okay, Mom says it's a form of exercise, so it is!
Lin Laosan's lips curled up even more. Lin Li took out a mat from Lin Xiaodi's room, spread it in the main room, and pulled him to sit on it.
"Sit down properly. I'm going to channel my internal energy into you now. Feel the trajectory of the energy flow. You can practice following this trajectory from now on!"
Lin Laosan hurriedly took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the mat like Lin Li. After a while, he felt a stream of air rush into his body from behind, making him feel warm all over.
The airflow followed a certain trajectory, and once he became familiar with the trajectory, the airflow on his back left his body.
The energy flow within his body began to circulate, and Lin Laosan only stopped practicing once his body had fully become familiar with this energy flow.
When he opened his eyes again, he felt refreshed, full of energy, light as a feather, and in excellent condition.
"Mom, this internal energy is amazing! My fatigue has vanished instantly!"
Lin Laosan excitedly ran into the kitchen and happily said to Lin Li, who was preparing lunch boxes for tomorrow.
"If you practice every day, your physical fitness will get better and better!"
Lin Laosan nodded hurriedly, and after sitting down in front of the stove to turn up the fire for Lin Li, he heard Lin Li's voice again.
"Once I've finished cooking, I'll teach you some external martial arts moves. The two combined will be even more effective!"
Lin Laosan's smile deepened, and his hands moved faster involuntarily.
Looking at Lin Li, whose face was flushed from the heat on the stove, he secretly pondered.
Mom is getting better and better. Her skin is becoming fairer and more delicate, her figure is no longer as bloated and fat as before, and even her physical condition has improved a lot.
Before, when she left the village, she would be out of breath and had to stop and rest after walking a few steps. Now, she can travel between the village and the town without feeling anxious or short of breath.
"Alright, the food is ready! Now I'll teach you some external martial arts moves!"
"Here I am!"
The mother and son spent the entire Sunday at home, one teaching diligently and the other learning earnestly, enjoying each other's company immensely!
...
In contrast to them, Lin Xiaodi and Lin Xiaomei got up very early. The two of them sneaked out of the Lin family's house, each carrying a package, and carefully went out the door.
As they walked from the village to the town, Lin Xiaodi and Lin Xiaomei exchanged a glance, then turned their backs and walked in different directions. They had already discussed their mission yesterday.
When they met again, it was almost dusk. They had originally planned to meet at the train station, but then changed their plans and met at the long-distance bus station, fearing that things might go wrong.
When Little Brother Lin saw Little Sister Lin approaching, he took out the bus ticket he had just bought while queuing and hugged the package even tighter.
"Have you bought the food?"
Lin Xiaomei nodded and patted her package.
"Let's go then, the car will leave in five minutes!"
The two arrived at the long-distance bus boarding point. Lin handed the two tickets to the ticket inspector, who then handed them back after she had scattered a corner of the ticket.
Along the way, people will board the bus periodically to check tickets; this is a measure to prevent anyone from riding the bus for free.
As the car drove away from town, the two men wore smug smiles. From today onward, they were going to the coast to make their fortune!
The eldest son and his wife paid no attention to their two siblings. The eldest son's wife even breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that the two of them hadn't come out for lunch or dinner. She resented raising these two lazy and good-for-nothing siblings more than anyone else!
"Mom, my uncle and aunt's clothes are gone. Did they leave?"
Lin's precious son was eating candy, with yellowish snot constantly dripping from his nose, which he kept sniffling back up.
"Gone?" The eldest daughter-in-law's eyes lit up when she heard this. Had those two debt collectors finally left? That was wonderful!
The eldest son's wife ran to the makeshift bed that the two siblings had set up, and seeing the empty bed, she was furious.
Those two bastards! They left, and even packed up and took the blankets and sheets she gave them to sleep in! They're such debt collectors!
So Lin's precious son saw his mother chasing his father with a broom and hitting him, and he stood by and laughed out loud!
The only day off of the week slipped away quietly amidst laughter and angry shouts from everyone!
A new week has begun!
Early in the morning, Lin Li led Lin Laosan through a set of boxing exercises in the yard. After warming up, the two of them, full of energy, went out to work and do business, one of them leaving in high spirits.
Little did they know that Monday morning would be the beginning of a nightmare for the eldest and second eldest Lin families!
When Lin Lao Er arrived at his workplace, travel-worn, he saw three of his friends and classmates sitting in the office.
"Huh? What brings you all here?"
Lin Lao Er quickly poured them a glass of water, looking at them with a smile.
"Second brother, we've been friends and classmates for so many years, you know my family situation. My family is poor! Can you pay me back the money you borrowed from me yesterday? We need to buy rice to cook at home!"
The other two nodded hurriedly when they heard what the square-faced student said, and began to tell about the hardships their families faced.
Their words left Lin Lao Er completely bewildered.
? ? ?
"Who asked you for money? I didn't ask you for money yesterday."
Yesterday, he spent the whole day at the hospital with his precious son. After leaving the old woman's house, he kept crying and complaining that his whole body ached.
The second son's wife was very worried when she heard this, and immediately took him to the hospital. He hasn't been discharged yet!
"Lin Lao Er, you can't go back on your word! Didn't you send your little brother to borrow money from me yesterday? Look, he even wrote an IOU!"
After saying that, he took out the IOU written by Lin Xiaodi, which clearly stated: "Borrowed 50 yuan from Wang Daqiang. Lin Xiaodi signed the loan on behalf of Lin Lao Er." Below it was Lin Xiaodi's red thumbprint.
"I didn't ask Brother Lin to help me borrow money!"
Lin Lao Er looked at the three identical notes on the table, his face drained of color, and his whole body trembled.
“But when your younger brother came to borrow money, he cried his eyes out and swore that he was borrowing it for you. Our neighbors can all testify for us.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Lao Er panicked. He was certain that he hadn't asked Lin Xiaodi to borrow money from them; it meant that Lin Xiaodi had used his name to swindle money!
"I didn't send Brother Lin to borrow money from you. Whoever borrowed money from you, you should go and pay them back!"
Lin Lao Er looked at his three friends and classmates with a flushed face. Even the best friendship is worthless in the face of money.
