Chapter 224 Nouveau Riche



Lin Qinghuan smiled and took Grandpa Lin's hand, saying sweetly, "Grandpa, you're so good to me. I'll definitely pay you back as soon as possible."

Grandpa Lin was pleased to see Lin Qinghuan getting close to him. He raised his chin and said arrogantly, "No need to pay it back. Your grandpa doesn't need this little bit of money."

Lin Qinghuan said with a grin, "Thank you, Grandpa. I feel like I've gone from a penniless wretch to a nouveau riche all of a sudden. It feels amazing."

Grandpa Lin couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to poke Lin Qinghuan's forehead, saying, "You good-for-nothing girl."

Lin Qinghuan shook her grandfather's arm with a smile, "Grandpa, your granddaughter used to be very poor. Do you know how much money I've saved up since I was a child?"

"How many?" Grandpa Lin asked curiously.

Lin Qinghuan held up one finger, letting Grandpa Lin guess.

"One hundred yuan!" Grandpa Lin said tentatively.

Lin Qinghuan shook her head, indicating that Grandpa Lin had guessed wrong.

"Ten yuan," Grandpa Lin said again.

I may not have a hundred dollars, but I must have ten dollars!

Lin Qinghuan shook her head again, "I guessed wrong again."

"Qinghuan, you don't only have one yuan in savings from childhood to adulthood, do you?" Wei Hong blurted out.

"You guessed right, it's just one yuan," Lin Qinghuan said.

Holy crap! So poor, she's saved up all her life and only has one yuan. It's so inconvenient for a girl to have no money at all!

Grandpa Lin glared at Lin's father and cursed, "Lin Er, you bastard, you have no ambition at all. You're so stingy with Qinghuan. How could I have given birth to such a good-for-nothing?"

Lin's father looked up at the sky and thought, "Go ahead and curse! I have a clear conscience anyway."

Grandpa Lin was so angry when he saw that Lin's father looked like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water that he kicked him.

Uncle Lin looked at Father Lin with sympathy. The second son was suffering in silence, unable to express his bitterness.

Lin Fu smiled and handed the money to Lin Qinghuan. Lin Qinghuan happily took the money, went to the gate, and gave the three hundred yuan to Er Laizi.

"I'll give you three hundred yuan first. You can pay the rest after you see the goods. If you dare to run away with my money, I'll have my boyfriend have the police arrest you. He has connections in the Public Security Bureau."

Er Laizi took the money and said with a smile, "Don't worry, although I, Er Laizi, am a scoundrel, I always keep my word."

Lin Qinghuan took the remaining seven hundred yuan and was about to return to her room when she passed by Lin Qing and said, "You can't keep running a small shop forever. If you're willing, come with me to the city and help me manage the clothing store. I'll give you a salary of thirty yuan a month, and I'll give you two percent commission for every piece of clothing you sell."

Lin Qing's face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly said, "I'm willing."

Lin Feng's eyes flickered as he looked at Lin Qinghuan, his face filled with shame. Lin Qinghuan was willing to help his older brother, and she wouldn't ignore them if they were in trouble in the future. He didn't know why, but he had always disliked Lin Qinghuan.

Uncle Lin and Father Lin exchanged a smile, their faces filled with satisfaction.

Grandpa Lin looked at Lin Qinghuan with admiration. She repaid evil with kindness and had a broad perspective. Not bad!

Lin Qinghuan returned to her room, put the money into her spatial storage, and then walked out of the room with light steps.

After breakfast, Mr. Lin and Mr. Lin's uncle prepared incense, candles, and offerings, and everyone walked together toward Grandma Lin's grave.

Lin Qinghuan and Wei Xiao walked side by side. Wei Xiao asked in confusion, "Qinghuan, why did you think of having your older brother watch the shop for you?"

Lin Qinghuan said casually, "Lin Qing did treat me badly before, and I didn't have any feelings for him. But he's not a really bad person. Besides, with you and Grandpa around, he can't cause any trouble. It's perfect for him to watch the shop for me. My mom can keep an eye on the store so she won't overthink things and get sick."

Wei Xiao smiled knowingly. Qing Huan probably wanted to take Lin Qing away and give Lin Qing a job so as to put Lin's mother at ease.
