Chapter 32: 31, Mom! My brother went to rob someone! _1

Translator: 549690339 |

Lin Mo’s parents rented a self-built house commonly seen in the countryside.

It was five stories high, and they lived on the first floor, with two rooms and a kitchen.

One room for the parents and another for Lin Siyu, his younger sister.

The rent was 1200 a month.

The rooms above were mostly single rooms, each renting for 500 a month.

Despite the old appearance of the house, such a price, in Rakshasa City, was practically like giving it away for free.

And the landlord’s interior decoration wasn’t bad either, using relatively high- quality materials.

The only drawback was that appliances like the air conditioner and the refrigerator were all third-grade energy consumers, which used a shocking amount of electricity when turned on for a day.

The reason the rent was so cheap was mainly because Huinan Town itself had neither many factories nor enterprises, with not too many people from other places, and Hero New Village was also quite far from the subway station, hence there was no price mark-up from middlemen landlords.

As for the good decoration, it wasn’t for the tenants’ sake, but to count for more compensation money in the event of expropriation.

As soon as Lin Mo entered the yard, Xu Qin, who was busy in the kitchen, quickly came out, walking over while saying, “Xiaoxiao, come here, let grandma hug you. Have you been eating well lately?”

“Jinwen, you seem to have lost weight. Come on, go inside and sit. Dinner will be ready soon!”

“Lin Siyu, hurry up and help your brother. You’ve become so lazy all day long.”

“Mo, you too, why buy so many things upon returning? There’s nothing the house lacks; you’re wasting money every day.”,

First the granddaughter, then the daughter-in-law, followed by the daughter, and finally the son.

The family’s status hierarchy was clear as day.

Lin Mo placed the items in his dad’s room, and as he walked out, he said, “Mom, your darling daughter, I can’t get her to lift a finger.”

Xu Qin glared at Lin Siyu and scolded, “Don’t just stand there; go help your brother!”

“Ah… those at home are never as appreciated as those working outside.” Lin Siyu rolled her eyes, reluctantly let down Lin Xiaoxiao, and said as she walked out, “I might as well move out tomorrow.”

“Only when you come back occasionally can you feel the warmth of home!”

“You child!” Xu Qin wanted to say more, but Lin Siyu had already left.

Lin Mo rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, looking at the full table of dishes and saying, “Mom, why prepare so much? It’s too extravagant; we can’t possibly finish all this.”

“Is Dad not back yet?”

Li Jinwen also came in, skillfully starting to chop the half-cut vegetables on the cutting board.

“Jinwen, put it down and rest a bit. I can handle it,” Xu Qin said as her smile never left her face, grabbing the knife and adding, “Your dad will be back soon. Go rest in the room for a while. Dinner will be ready soon.”

The couple who wanted to help were unceremoniously shooed out by Mom.

Lin Siyu, carrying the remaining items, entered her parents’ bedroom with Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Mo and Li Jinwen followed them in.

The room wasn’t big, only about ten square meters, with a bed and many daily necessities. Once they put down the things they bought, there was hardly any space left to sit.

It couldn’t be helped,

Renting a house wasn’t like being at their old home; it wasn’t possible to rent another room just to store miscellaneous items.

Lin Mo and Li Jinwen could only sit on the edge of the bed.

Lin Siyu excitedly showed Lin Xiaoxiao each item Lin Mo had brought.

“Big brother, this liquor must be a few hundred yuan a bottle, right?”

“Holy smokes, a pack of Red China cigarettes? These must also be a few hundred, huh?”

“Big bro, did you strike it rich?”

The more Lin Siyu looked, the more astonished she became because a rough calculation told her that the pile of items was worth at least a few thousand yuan.

After looking through them, she said in disappointment, “There’s nothing for me. Big brother, you really don’t take your little sister seriously!”

Lin Mo teased, “Why should I buy you anything? You didn’t even care to help me carry stuff, and you expect gifts?”

“Siyu, don’t listen to your brother.” Li Jinwen smiled as she pulled out a red box from Old Fengxiang from her pocket. Opening it revealed a shiny gold ring inside and said, “You liked this one when we went shopping last time, right? Your brother bought it for you.”

The ring wasn’t expensive, just over 2000 yuan.

But such a gift had already surprised Lin Siyu into widening her eyes and exclaiming, “Big brother, you, you, you, you couldn’t have hit the lottery, could you?”

Lin Xiaoxiao spoke from the side, “Auntie, my dad is amazing. He took us to Disney to sell umbrellas and made over ten thousand yuan in just one hour, and there’s still…still…”

Disney, selling umbrellas?

Made over ten thousand in an hour?

Were they selling gold umbrellas?

Hearing this, Lin Siyu was completely dumbfounded, not quite understanding what her niece was talking about.

However,

what she didn’t expect at all was Lin Xiaoxiao following up with, “And there’s more…in just one morning, my dad made over a million!”

What?

Over a million?

Monopoly money?

Lin Siyu twitched the corner of her mouth, shocked as she looked at Lin Mo and asked, “Big brother, what do you mean? You didn’t go rob someone, did you?”

“Rob your head.” Lin Mo wasn’t planning to hide the fact he made some money from his family; he shrugged his shoulders somewhat smugly, “Just got a bit lucky and made a little money, that’s all.”

Over a million?

Little money?

Lin Siyu didn’t know which words could describe her feelings anymore.

After confirming that Lin Mo wasn’t talking nonsense.

She put down what she was holding, turned her head, and ran out. After taking several deep breaths in the kitchen, she finally caught her breath, and said stutteringly, “Mom…Your son has made…uh, no.”

“Your son made over a million today!!!”

Xu Qin was very calm, continuing to sprinkle salt into the pot as she said, “What over a million, not a million. You look like an over-a-million yourself.”

“Such a grown person, not steady at all. Your brother is just teasing you, and you believe it.”

Lin Siyu waved her hands repeatedly, “I’m not joking with you. The bunch of things my brother just carried in are worth at least a few thousand yuan, and he also gave me this.”

Seeing the gold ring in Lin Siyu’s hand, Xu Qin also frowned.

She continued, “Just how stingy my brother is, would he be so generous if he hadn’t struck it rich?”

Lin Mo also came into the kitchen, snatched the gold ring from Lin Siyu’s hand, and said discontentedly, “Hey hey hey, you brat, who are you calling stingy? Your sister-in-law gave you a gift out of kindness, and you’re still complaining?”

“Forget it, I won’t give it to you anymore, I’ll give it to Mom!”

Lin Siyu immediately changed her expression, trying to ingratiate herself, “Brother, heh heh, I was just kidding. I’m wrong, bro. My brother is the most generous…”

“I know I’m wrong. When I get married, I’ll let you spend all my dowry!”

“I’m afraid you might not be able to get married, though.” Lin Mo gave her a look and handed the ring back to her, smiling, “Mom, don’t listen to her nonsense. But I did make a bit of money, indeed.”

Xu Qin nodded repeatedly, her face full of smiles, taking it that her son indeed made some money, but she didn’t take the over a million seriously.

The number was too big; it just didn’t feel real.

She advised, “Making money is good, but don’t waste it even if you have it, take those gifts back. Your dad and I don’t need anything.”

“Save more money; you’ll still need to buy a house in the future!”

At the mention of a house, the atmosphere in the kitchen instantly became a little more somber.

There’s no helping it – for a lower-class family, the necessity of buying a house is always an unavoidable topic.

And just then, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and an electric bike came riding in.

Standing at the door, Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran over, calling out as she did, “Grandpa… Grandpa…”

“Grandpa!!!!!”

This girl has always been closest to her grandpa since she was little.
