Chapter 71

"oops!"

Qi Yuan had just put breakfast on the table when he suddenly flew into the air. "What are you doing?"

Shen Lingyun carried him on his shoulders and walked towards the kitchen. "You've worked hard. I'll take the rest."

He shook Qi Yuan and said, "I'll walk for you."

Qi Yuan lay on his shoulder, head down, grabbing Shen Lingyun's lower back with his hands, laughing "Hahahaha".

"It's fun, hahaha." Qi Yuan smiled happily, and was carried to the kitchen by Shen Lingyun.

He ruffled Qi Yuan's soft black hair and said gently, "Study hard and don't get too tired."

"Yeah, I know." Qi Yuan nodded with a blushing face, "Cooking is nothing, it's much easier than what we have in the countryside."

"It will be hard for this period of time." Shen Lingyun didn't say anything else, just told Qi Yuan: "It will become easier and easier in the future."

"Hurry up and eat." Qi Yuan pushed him to get the food, "It's almost time."

He didn't expect that Shen Lingyun would care about him so much and try to make him happy. He suddenly felt full of energy again.

Even until Shen Lingyun left, Qi Yuan still had a bright smile on her face, and her red little mouth couldn't close.

So much so that the brothers Shen Lingzhi and Shen Lingyue looked at him frequently. They didn't know what Qi Yuan was happy about, but he was smiling all the time.

"Brother Xiaoyuan." Shen Lingzhi asked curiously, "Why are you so happy today?"

"I'm happy every day." Qi Yuan smiled, but said insincerely: "When have you ever seen me unhappy?"

"No." Brother Shen Lingzhi shook his head, "Brother Xiaoyuan is happy every day."

"That's right." Qi Yuan also felt so and was happy every day.

This is the life he wants most.

But this happiness only lasted until school.

In the carport, Qi Yuan saw Liu Peng from afar and couldn't help but frown: This guy is so annoying, he is like a toad that doesn't bite but is annoying.

Qi Yuan went over to park the car and pretended not to see him, not wanting to pay attention to him, but was blocked by Liu Peng.

"Hey! Where are you going in such a hurry?" Liu Peng said with malicious eyes and a lewd look on his face: "Are you in a hurry to find Zhao Li? What's the relationship? She is helping you so much."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Liu Peng stroked his chin with one hand, stretched out one leg forward and trembled non-stop, looking like a second-rate guy, "I've only been here for a day, and he's already hooking up with her. You're indeed a pretty boy!"

There were many students in the parking shed. When they heard him say that, they thought there was some shocking scandal and hurried over.

Immediately, they surrounded Liu Peng and Qi Yuan in three circles inside and outside.

Someone else asked: "What's wrong? What's going on?"

"Haha, there's something exciting to watch."

"Hurry up, tell me what's going on?"

Qi Yuan: "..."

He looked at Liu Peng's arrogant face and the excited eyes of the students around him, and his face suddenly darkened.

"Liu Peng, I'm in a good mood today." Qi Yuan looked at him with a straight face and said word by word: "Don't mess with me."

"Wow!" Liu Peng said to the students around him as if he had heard a joke, "Look, look, how arrogant the pretty boy who just came here is."

"What's wrong with me provoking you today?" Liu Peng patted his chest, and his fat body trembled. "Let's see what you can do to me?"

Qi Yuan kept staring at him, the smile on his fair and tender face had long since disappeared, instead it was filled with a coldness as if it were ice.

His eyes were filled with anger.

"Tell me, how did you hook up with Zhao Li?" Liu Peng asked loudly, as if he was afraid that the students around him couldn't hear him. "How far did it go? Did you hold hands or kiss? Hahaha."

He laughed without restraint, and some students around him followed suit, with wanton laughter rising one after another.

Some people even whistled at Qi Yuan.

"You're looking for death." Qi Yuan suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Liu Peng's neck with his hand. "Then I'll grant your wish."

He exerted force with his hands, and Liu Peng was choked to the point of being unable to breathe, and his face turned red.

"Uh." Liu Peng tried to pry his hand away, but Qi Yuan knocked it away. He could only say with difficulty: "What are you going to do?"

"Speak up? If you have the guts, then speak up again." Qi Yuan said with a cold face, sneering, "Weren't you very excited just now? Why don't you say anything now?"

He exerted strength little by little, slowly raised his arms upward, and Liu Peng's feet gradually left the ground.

In a blink of an eye, Qi Yuan grabbed his neck and lifted him up, and Liu Peng's breathing became increasingly difficult.

"oops!"

"So amazing?"

"It was lifted up. It was lifted up."

There were bursts of exclamations from all around, and everyone looked at Liu Peng, a fat man, in disbelief, being easily grabbed by the neck and lifted into the air.

He was a boy of the same age as them, with fair cheeks, a well-behaved and shy look, and a slender and weak figure.

They were all stunned, staring blankly at Liu Peng being lifted in the air, with the well-behaved boy having a sneer on his face.

The air seemed to be stagnant, there was silence all around, and even breathing seemed to be intentionally controlled.

It seems that he is afraid of getting into trouble accidentally.

Liu Peng kicked his legs and waved his arms to struggle, but Qi Yuan's hand grabbed his throat.

It's completely useless.

At this time, he even forgot to pry Qi Yuan's hands apart. The feeling of suffocation brought the breath of death.

Liu Peng was so confused that he couldn't think.

He looked around, trying to ask for help, but unfortunately he didn't see the person he was looking for.

"How is it? Very comfortable, right?" Qi Yuan sneered and shook his arms, admiring Liu Peng struggling like a dead fish.

"No, don't raise it."

"Put it down, put it down."

"He's dying."

Chen Jian and others had been standing by and watching the fun, thinking that Liu Peng could deal with Qi Yuan by himself.

I didn't expect this development.

Several people were so frightened that they forgot to go forward to help. Fortunately, Qi Yuan's words woke them up.

Chen Jian was the first to react and rushed forward to persuade them. If something happened, none of them would be able to escape.

"Qi Yuan, put him down quickly." Chen Jian said hurriedly, "I'll ask him to apologize to you."

"Yes, yes, yes, I apologize to you." Another person said, "Let him go quickly, he will die."

"Let go, ancestor." Chen Jian was about to cry. They just wanted to get some food and drink! "Please."

"Hmph." Seeing that Liu Peng was about to roll his eyes, Qi Yuan snorted coldly and threw the man right onto Chen Jian and the others.

"Plop."

"Ouch!"

Chen Jian and his friends were so frightened that their legs went limp, and then they were hit by the fat man Liu Peng, and they all fell to the ground.

Qi Yuan took a step forward and looked down at Liu Peng and the others with a cold and disdainful look.

"If you dare to slander me and ruin my reputation again." Qi Yuan sneered and said ruthlessly: "I will break your necks."

"Huff, huff." Liu Peng stroked his neck and gasped. Just now he really thought Qi Yuan was going to strangle him to death.

The suffocating feeling of being unable to breathe and the stabbing pain in his neck frightened him so much that he is still dizzy.

He couldn't make any response to Qi Yuan's words.

"Remember this," Qi Yuan said coldly, "If I hear anyone talking about me and destroying my innocence, I will settle the score with you."

"Remember, remember." Chen Jian and the others fell to the ground, not even daring to get up, and kept apologizing: "It's all our fault, we won't do it again."

Now they just hope Qi Yuan will leave quickly. They are afraid that they will be strangled and lifted up too. It's not a pleasant feeling to think about.

They never dreamed that a pretty boy whom they looked down upon and didn't take seriously could have such great strength.

He can lift a person up with one hand easily.

Qi Yuan looked around again, at the students surrounding him, and met his emotionless gaze.

Subconsciously stepped back.

This person is too powerful and they can't afford to offend him.

Qi Yuan nodded in satisfaction at their fear, since they couldn't coexist peacefully.

Then let them not dare to provoke!

"Liu Peng dared to slander me and ruin my reputation." Qi Yuan said: "I believe what he said, you all heard it clearly. To me, this is the same as killing me."

He paused for a moment and saw that the students did not react and were still staring at him blankly.

He continued, "Anyone can punish such a morally corrupt person. I am speaking for him. I hope you can understand and not follow his footsteps."

The students nodded subconsciously.

"Okay, it's time to go to class." Qi Yuan waved his hand magnanimously, "Let's forget what happened today. No one should talk about it anymore. I hope Liu Peng and the others can correct their mistakes."

He walked away leisurely without looking at Liu Peng and the others, nor did he try to guess what the students who were watching were thinking.

Liu Peng dared to ruin his reputation and deliberately slandered him to destroy his innocence. Qi Yuan felt that he was really soft-hearted.

The person who wanted to kill me was just threatened and let go.

Not even a single hit.

Qi Yuan found it a little unbelievable.

As he walked, he wondered, why is this happening?

Suddenly, a handsome figure appeared in front of him, with gentle and doting eyes, which made Qi Yuan linger.

"Shen Lingyun." Qi Yuan chuckled.

He seemed to still be able to feel the temperature of the physical contact in the morning, which made Qi Yuan quicken his pace.

I really want to see that person sooner.

...

Qi Yuan didn't know what impact the scene that happened in the morning would have.

He only knew that he had saved himself from a disaster.

Liu Peng didn't return to the classroom and hadn't shown up for three classes in a row. Qi Yuan thought he might feel embarrassed.

Sorry to come.

Qi Yuan didn't care. He sat in the last row and listened to the class carefully as usual, and ate something after class.

He didn't leave the classroom at all.

Little did he know that the news had spread like wildfire outside, and the students who saw the scene were spreading his heroic act of the morning everywhere.

So many people secretly asked people from Class 8 about the origins of this newcomer Qi Yuan.

He actually has such great abilities.

"Qi Yuan." Zhao Li came in from outside, looking at Qi Yuan with hesitation. After a long pause, she finally asked, "Did you really lift Liu Peng up?"

"It's just a joke." Qi Yuan said calmly, "We are classmates, so it's just a fight. What's so strange about that?"

It seemed as if the person who said this was making a fuss out of nothing, and there was no conflict at all between him and Liu Peng.

Zhao Li looked at Qi Yuan with a speechless look, thinking about the words she had heard and what Liu Peng had asked her for.

"Liu Peng just apologized to me." Zhao Li said, "He also wants to apologize to you in person. I hope you can give him a chance."

"No need." Qi Yuan said impatiently: "Tell him to keep his mouth shut and don't bother me anymore."

"You don't forgive him." Zhao Li said: "Liu Peng doesn't dare to go back to the classroom, you should tell him."

"Why should I say it?" Qi Yuan looked at Zhao Li strangely, "He bullied me and he wants me to forgive him?"

Zhao Li: What Qi Yuan said seems to make sense.

"He was too embarrassed to apologize to you in front of everyone in the office." Zhao Li thought about what Liu Peng said and relayed it to Qi Yuan, "But he wanted to apologize to you in person, so he waited outside for a few classes, but you didn't leave."

"Tell him not to wait." Qi Yuan waved his hand, "I won't go out. He can come back or not if he wants."

How could Qi Yuan forgive someone who wanted to destroy his innocence?

I don't continue to care about it because I don't want to make a big deal out of it and let everyone know about it.

"Why are you helping him?" Qi Yuan was a little curious. One of the people Liu Peng slandered was Zhao Li. "Don't you know what he said about you?"

"I know." Zhao Li: "He's just a mean guy, you don't have to pay attention to him. Liu Peng is a bully, after this lesson he won't come near you again."

Yoho!

Qi Yuan didn't expect that Zhao Li didn't care about her innocence and was not afraid of her reputation being ruined.

I can still help such a person.

Qi Yuan was confused.

"Qi Yuan, someone is looking for you." Someone suddenly called him.

Qi Yuan turned to look at the door and jumped up in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Chapter 72

Shen Lingyun stood at the door and saw Qi Yuan running towards him happily.

For the first time, he took the initiative to stretch out his arms and catch Qi Yuan.

"Slow down." Shen Lingyun looked at Qi Yuan leaning against his chest and smiled, "Are you so happy?"

"Yeah." Qi Yuan nodded in surprise, looking at Shen Lingyun with sparkling eyes, "Why are you here?"

"I came to see you." Shen Lingyun said, "I haven't seen your school and classroom yet."

He saw the surprise in Qi Yuan's eyes, and his clear eyes reflected his figure, so his voice couldn't help but become softer.

"Come in, come in." Qi Yuan pulled Shen Lingyun towards his seat, smiling, "I have my own seat, it's quiet."

Qi Yuan was very satisfied that he didn't have to have physical contact with others.

"Isn't it boring to be alone?" Shen Lingyun looked at his desk in the corner and asked, "Why don't you play with your classmates?"

He looked around the classroom and saw that even though the get out of class was over, there were still many students sitting in their seats.

Didn't go out.

"I don't want to play." Qi Yuan shook his head and said, "It's nice to rest for a while by myself after class."

"You should still get in touch with your classmates more." Shen Lingyun said, "You will all go to high school together in the future. Even if you are not in the same class, it is a good thing to get to know more people."

"Do you play with your classmates?" Qi Yuan asked, "Who do you play with? Are they pretty?"

"There's no time to play." Shen Lingyun said, "It's just that there's a classmate who lives in the same family compound as us. He's a boy and I can't say he's pretty."

"Oh." Qi Yuan immediately stopped caring.

He took out his thermos cup and handed it to Shen Lingyun, "Drink some, it's still hot."

"I still have some." Shen Lingyun said, but he opened the thermos and took a few sips.

"Look." Qi Yuan moved closer to Shen Lingyun and looked around. "My classmates are all looking at you."

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun didn't look. He just noticed that the students in Qi Yuan's class were all looking at him.

"Where are your glasses?" Qi Yuan saw several female classmates looking at Shen Lingyun frequently and said unhappily, "Why aren't you wearing them?"

Don't you know someone is watching you?

Don't pay attention to the impact at all.

"It's in my schoolbag." Shen Lingyun took it out and put it on. "I took it off when I went to see your head teacher just now."

"Don't take it off when you see anyone in the future." Qi Yuan warned: "Look at the girls in our class, they keep looking at you because you are pretty. Isn't this making people make mistakes?"

Making a mistake?

Shen Lingyun looked up at the girl Qi Yuan was talking about, then looked back at Qi Yuan in confusion.

What does this mean?

Qi Yuan blinked, pursed his lips and didn't want to say anything.

"Speak." Shen Lingyun saw through Qi Yuan's thoughts at a glance and raised his hand to tap his forehead. "You're so mysterious."

"They are underage." Qi Yuan rubbed his forehead, frowned and thought about it, then said: "You are so beautiful, what if they like you? Wouldn't it lead them to make mistakes?"

He won't voice his concerns.

I can only say that I am thinking about others and hope that Shen Lingyun can learn from it and protect his own face.

"What if they chase you around everywhere and delay your studies?" Qi Yuan whispered, "Their parents will come after you. What if they sue you for immoral conduct?"

He looked like he wanted to do good for Shen Lingyun.

Shen Lingyun was amused, and he couldn't help laughing, "So, you let me wear glasses outside so that no one can see me?"

"If you protect your face, everything will be solved, right?" Qi Yuan said frankly, "Do you have a better idea?"

Shen Lingyun was speechless.

What the hell is going on? Is Qi Yuan crazy?

He reached out and touched Qi Yuan's forehead. "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

"There are many good-looking people. Do you think anyone would cover their face when going out? You can find a few good-looking people on the street at random. Who wouldn't be better than me?"

"I just want you to look good." Qi Yuan groaned a few times, "What's the matter? Do you really want everyone to look at you?"

You don't find it troublesome, but I do!

"Okay." Shen Lingyun didn't care. He just thought it was troublesome to wear glasses. "As you wish."

To avoid getting in a bad temper again.

"That's right." Qi Yuan smiled happily, "You can't let others like you, it's enough for me to like you."

"You're quite independent." Shen Lingyun laughed, "You can only be alone."

"I am unique." Qi Yuan was not embarrassed at all, "What I like is mine, and no one else can like it."

"You can't stop this." Shen Lingyun felt that Qi Yuan had a problem with his thinking, so he said, "You can only say that you don't give others what you like, but you don't have the right to make others dislike it."

Just like eating, if you like it, you don't let others eat it?

How could you possibly buy them all and monopolize them all for yourself? That's impossible.

"Yeah." Qi Yuan agreed, "That's true, but you are not a thing, you are only one person, so you belong to me."

Not a thing?

Shen Lingyun had a puzzled look in his eyes, and his fingers were about to hit him on the head, but Qi Yuan didn't notice because he was wearing glasses.

He also said: "Even if you can't stop others from liking you, you can't do nothing. It's better to stop them a little. Anyway, I won't give it to anyone who wants it."

"It won't work even if you agree." Qi Yuan looked at Shen Lingyun and said confidently, "You already promised me, there's no point in regretting it, you'd better forget it."

What did I promise?

Shen Lingyun became more and more confused as he continued to talk.

It took me a while to figure out that Qi Yuan was talking about me, but when did I give myself to Qi Yuan?

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Shen Lingyun saw many students returning to the classroom and knew that class was about to start. "I just talked to your teacher about your classmate's problem. He said he would take care of it. Just go to class with peace of mind."

"Oh." Qi Yuan understood. It turned out that Shen Lingyun came for this matter. "It's just a small matter. Why are you here? I can handle it myself."

His face turned a little red and his heart was leaping with joy. Shen Lingyun was worried about him.

But he subconsciously didn't tell her what happened in the carport that morning.

"Study hard and don't worry about me." Qi Yuan looked at Shen Lingyun and said shyly, "Nothing is more important than your college entrance examination now. We can talk about other things later."

"Ring, ring, ring." The preparatory bell rang.

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun stood up, "Let's talk about it when we get home. You go to class first."

He turned and walked out, with Qi Yuan following him.

"What are you eating for lunch? I'll go buy some groceries later." Shen Lingyun stopped at the door and asked.

"We have vegetables at home." Qi Yuan said, "After school, I go to the cafeteria to pick out some food, and then make some myself."

"Don't worry about these." Qi Yuan said, "Just go home and lie down and rest. I'll prepare the meal and call you when I get back."

Seeing that the teacher had come over and walked to the classroom door, Shen Lingyun said, "You go back to class, I'll go buy some delicious food. We can improve our meals while we have time now."

"That's fine." Qi Yuan looked at the teacher who walked to the front door of the classroom, nodded and smiled at the teacher, "I'll give you the money."

He took money out of his pocket and said, "Just buy whatever you want to eat. Don't save."

"I have it here. Don't delay the class." Shen Lingyun pushed him into the classroom. "Go back to your seat quickly. Don't keep the teacher waiting."

"It's okay, it will be done soon." Qi Yuan took out the money and ticket, "Here's ten dollars."

"I'm leaving." Shen Lingyun turned around and was about to leave. If he stayed any longer, Qi Yuan would keep nagging him.

"Take it." Qi Yuan held him back, "Keep your money for yourself, and take mine."

The money in Shen Lingyun's pocket was also given by Qi Yuan, and he knew how much it was.

"I'll give you another ten yuan." Qi Yuan saw Shen Lingyun took it, thought about it and handed him another ten yuan, "Buy a few canned fruits. There's not much fruit to eat now."

"Okay, I got it." Shen Lingyun took it and turned away, "Go to class."

What a kid!

Didn't you see that the students in the classroom and the teacher who just entered the classroom were all looking at them standing at the back door?

He went downstairs quickly, not daring to stop at all, for fear that Qi Yuan would catch up with him for something again.

"Hey!" Qi Yuan stretched his neck to look at his back, muttering, "Why are you walking so fast? I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

He also wanted to ask Shen Lingyun what he wanted to eat, and told him not to be afraid of spending money and to buy more if he wanted to eat, and he would get more if the money was not enough.

Qi Yuan returned to his seat dejectedly: I don't have the heart to attend class anymore!

Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly placed a small note on his desk.

Qi Yuan was shocked.

Qi Yuan looked up and didn't notice that Liu Peng had returned and was looking at him with a flattering expression.

Qi Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the note: I'm sorry, I apologize, let's have a truce?

Qi Yuan sneered: If you can't win, just say so. Why bother to stop fighting? How can you be so shameless?

But considering that Shen Lingyun was worried and took time off to come here, I'll let it go.

He took a pen and wrote on the note: Correct your mistakes if you know them.

Liu Peng turned his head to take a look and nodded quickly.

Qi Yuan waved his hand and told him to turn around and stop bothering him.

"Liu Peng, what are you doing?" The teacher noticed their little movements and looked at them. "It's time for class, don't you know?"

"I know, I know." Liu Peng sat down quickly. His voice was a little hoarse, and he used his straight body to show that he would attend class obediently.

"And there's a new student." The teacher continued, "You've been delayed for a while, and now you're still making small moves?"

"I'm sorry, teacher." Qi Yuan said with full energy, "I will study hard and make progress every day."

"Hahaha."

The classmates couldn't help laughing and looked at Qi Yuan one after another. Is this a fool?

Don't you see what's so great about it?

"Well, very good." The teacher also smiled, "The high school entrance exam is coming up soon. You don't have much time. You must make the most of the last few months."

"Yes, teacher." Qi Yuan straightened his back and answered loudly.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. Isn't it the students' responsibility to study hard and abide by the rules?

Shen Lingyun also told him to listen to his teacher.

It's just that he wanted to study hard, but someone disturbed him, which made Qi Yuan frown.

Zhao Li also handed him a small note.

Qi Yuan saw what was written on it: Who was the person who just came?

Qi Yuan covered his forehead, trouble is coming!

He thought for a moment and wrote on the note: Brother, is there anything wrong?

Zhao Li took a look and handed over another one: Your brother is really handsome, just like you.

Qi Yuan was tired and didn't want to care about it, but Zhao Li had helped him and was the only student in the class who was kind to him.

Qi Yuan: It definitely looks good, but it's useless because it already has a partner.

Zhao Li: Do you have a sister-in-law?

Qi Yuan frowned and looked at these words with displeasure.

Where would he get a sister-in-law? He will never have one in this life.

Zhao Li saw Qi Yuan's reply and her eyes widened in surprise: Isn't she already taken? Doesn't that mean she's not my sister-in-law if we're not married yet?

Qi Yuan sneered: These don't exist. I'll beat one if I see one. If I see a pair, I'll kill their entire family.

"Ah?" Zhao Li exclaimed.

Suddenly, many eyes turned over. When Qi Yuan heard the exclamation, he picked up the book to cover his face.

It has nothing to do with me.

"Zhao Li." The teacher frowned. She was unlucky today and her students were not easy to deal with. "What are you shouting for?"

"Teacher." Zhao Li frowned and said with a painful look on her face, "My leg is cramping."

teacher:"......"

"Rub it."

"Pinch it."

"Go for a walk outside."

The classmates immediately spoke up and offered suggestions, hoping to help Zhao Li.

No one suspected that she was lying.

"It's alright, it's alright." The teacher was very unhappy. "If your leg cramps, pinch the back of your ankle, it will be fine in a while."

The teacher gave a warning look: "Don't make any more noise, it will disturb other students."

"Yes, teacher." Zhao Li nodded, "I understand."

Qi Yuan: "..."

Talent? Better than me.

Finally the get out of class was over. Qi Yuan had already packed his schoolbag and was ready when the bell rang.

He rushed out of the classroom.

"Qi Yuan, Liu Peng." Teacher Wang, our homeroom teacher, came in and said, "Come to my office."

"Teacher." Qi Yuan stood up immediately, "Liu Peng has already apologized, there is no need to trouble you."

He looked at Liu Peng.

Liu Peng nodded like a little chicken, and said in a hoarse voice: "Teacher, I apologize, we are still good classmates."

"Yes, yes, yes." Qi Yuan put on his schoolbag and said with a smile: "Teacher, I have to go pick up my brother. You should also go home early for dinner."

"Okay, go ahead." Before Teacher Wang finished speaking, Qi Yuan rushed out of the classroom like an arrow.

"Love your brother." Teacher Wang looked at the teacher and said with a good-natured smile, "You can tell at first glance that he is a good kid and a good student."

Teacher: Okay, whatever you say goes. If the students don't give you face, you will be the one who is embarrassed.

...

"I'm back."

Qi Yuan hurried home and saw that the food was already on the table. "Shen Lingyun, do you miss me?"

"We just met." Shen Lingyun teased him, "It's only been over an hour. Tell me, do you miss me?"

"Yes, yes." Qi Yuan said loudly, then her face turned red and she said shyly, "I want to come back with you."

Shen Lingyun nodded in understanding.

Qi Yuan had been hesitating just now, and he knew that Qi Yuan was planning something, and now he finally said it out.

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun pushed his shoulder, "Go wash your hands and eat first, we can talk later if you have anything to say."

"You haven't told me you miss me yet?" Qi Yuan struggled to not want to leave, staring at Shen Lingyun eagerly, "Do you miss me or not?"

"I want to, I want to." Shen Lingyun said helplessly: "If I don't want to, you can't have a good meal today."

He pointed at Shen Lingzhi's brother and tapped Qi Yuan's nose, "You are more clingy than two kids."

"As long as you want, I won't bother you anymore." Qi Yuan said as a matter of course: "I also have a lot of things to do, study, business and future development."

Qi Yuan glanced at Shen Lingyun, curled his lips and said, "I have always been looking forward to the future and actively making plans for our future."

What about you? Qi Yuan wanted to ask: Why don't you see any action?

"Am I not also doing my best for the future?" Shen Lingyun said, "But things have to be done one by one, right? My main focus now is studying, isn't it?"

"Besides studying, what else do you have?" Qi Yuan asked, looking at Shen Lingyun with suspicion, "No plans for marriage?"

"I don't have such plans." Shen Lingyun's eyelids jumped, "Do you have such plans?"

"Of course." Qi Yuan immediately straightened his chest and said proudly, "I have always been planning to make a lot of money so that we can spend more than we can in the future."

"You have ambition." Shen Lingyun was amused and patted Qi Yuan on the shoulder to encourage him: "Go ahead and earn enough money. It will be time for you to get married."

How old are you? You're already thinking about getting married.

Qi Yuan immediately agreed: "Okay, it's a deal."

Chapter 73

"Huh?"

Before Qi Yuan reached the school gate, he saw many students gathered at the gate of No. 3 Middle School from afar.

"What are they doing outside instead of going to school?" Qi Yuan asked curiously.

Shen Lingzhi also saw this situation. Those students gathered in groups of three or four on both sides of the school.

Everyone looked excited, and some were even talking about something with great joy.

"It should be about the person." Shen Lingzhi said hesitantly: "This morning, I heard that there was a strongman in our school who lifted up a fat man."

"Let's take a look later." Shen Lingzhi suddenly jumped out of the car, "I'll go ask my classmates to see if they know who it is."

Qi Yuan: "..."

Strongman?

"Stop." Qi Yuan hurriedly stopped Shen Lingzhi who was about to run away, and said calmly: "Don't listen to what others say, it must be a rumor."

"Zhi Niu can make a big fuss about a small matter. Why are you joining in the fun?"

Qi Yuan did not get out of the car, and asked Shen Lingzhi to get in, "Let's go into the school and don't run around."

"Oh." Shen Lingzhi didn't object and got in the car obediently.

He is not in a hurry, he will know sooner or later.

"Yeah." Qi Yuan looked at him with satisfaction, "Don't listen to what others say. I know what happened this morning."

"Do you know?" Shen Lingzhi asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"

He was only thirteen years old and full of energy. Shen Lingzhi was very interested in this kind of thing.

"It's just bragging." Qi Yuan said calmly, "Two people had a conflict. One said he would lift someone up to the sky, and the other said he would trample someone into the ground. It's that simple."

"Is that so?" Shen Lingzhi lost interest. "I was wondering, how is that possible? But some people are talking about it with details. I want to find out more about this person this afternoon."

"It's better not to look at it." Qi Yuan held the handlebars with one hand and took off his glasses with the other hand, "There is no such person."

He couldn't wear glasses anymore, lest he be recognized.

When Qi Yuan was almost at the gate, he glared at the pedals a few times and rushed to the school gate under the gazes of all the students.

Then he jumped out of the car and walked quickly into the school.

"Go back to the classroom." Qi Yuan sent Shen Lingzhi away and pushed the car to the carport. Sure enough, he saw many students here again.

He walked over as if nothing had happened, parked the car amid others' excited pointing and talking, then turned around and left slowly.

The moment he walked out of the carport, Qi Yuan heard someone say: It's him, I'm not mistaken, he just doesn't have glasses.

Humph! Qi Yuan curled his lips: You can see it clearly, but I won't admit it, so what can I do?

"Stop talking now, before he hears you and lifts you up by the neck again."

"Yes, yes, don't mess with him, or we will be embarrassed too."

There was a lot of discussion behind Qi Yuan, but no one dared to ask him, let alone get close to him.

This was something Qi Yuan had not expected.

It seems that he can have classes in peace in the future and no one will try to cause trouble for him anymore. Qi Yuan is very satisfied.

When he arrived at the classroom, Qi Yuan attracted a lot of attention. He understood why, but didn't even glance at him.

Zhao Li came closer again and whispered, "Everyone in our class knows about it."

"Who is so rude?" Qi Yuan frowned. "Why not just study hard? Why do you have to do these messy things?"

"You've become famous." Zhao Li smiled: "Many people come to ask about you."

"Don't say that." Qi Yuan said sternly, "Liu Peng is only over 100 pounds. Anyone in our countryside can easily lift him up. This is not surprising."

Qi Yuan was paying attention to the situation in the class while speaking. He saw that everyone was looking at him with hidden eyes and listening to what he said carefully.

"I've been doing farm work since I was a kid, so I still have the strength to lift over 100 kilograms." Qi Yuan seemed to be explaining and stating the facts, "If you don't believe me, go ask around."

"Really?" Zhao Li was surprised. "A farmer would be so energetic?"

"It's not a matter of farm work." Qi Yuan said confidently, "People who often do heavy work have a lot of strength. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you don't have it."

"Oh." Zhao Li suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. That's nothing strange."

"That's right." Qi Yuan nodded, satisfied with Zhao Li's attitude, "Don't mention this matter anymore."

Zhao Li nodded.

Qi Yuan noticed from the corner of his eye that other classmates, like Zhao Li, had lost interest in him and were no longer looking at him covertly.

He knew it was over.

After school in the evening, Qi Yuan took the initiative to talk about this matter with Shen Lingzhi.

"I just said it was a rumor." Qi Yuan said, "I asked around and found out that some people just made up a story about a strong man for fun."

"No wonder you didn't let me ask about it at noon." Shen Lingzhi said with a smile: "It turns out that someone exaggerated the story and made it up about you."

Qi Yuan just refused to say anything, and Shen Lingzhi wanted to ask him, but he already knew who those classmates were spreading rumors about.

"So!" Qi Yuan sighed, "Don't listen to such words in the future, few of them are true."

"Okay, I understand." Shen Lingzhi said.

"Don't tell your eldest brother." Seeing that he believed it, Qi Yuan warned him, "He can't be distracted from his studies now. Don't let him think that we are not studying hard in school."

"Yeah." Shen Lingzhi's heart trembled, and he immediately nodded and said, "I will definitely not tell you."

He was a little afraid of his older brother, and he must not let him think that he was not studying hard and just playing around all day.

...

Time slowly came to mid-April.

Boss Chen once again arrived in Shen City, exhausted.

"I brought it." Boss Chen said with a smile, "But it took me a lot of effort. Someone else might not dare to go."

He handed a one-foot-square wooden box to Qi Yuan, "It's all here, take a look."

"How many are there?" Qi Yuan stared at the wooden box with sharp eyes and opened it carefully. "Wow! So many."

There are ginseng roots of different sizes in the wooden box, neatly arranged in the box.

No need to count, there are more than twenty of them at a glance.

"There are eight that are over a hundred years old." Boss Chen said, "There are fifteen that are several decades old, with varying ages."

He didn't want anyone under 30 years old.

"So many." Qi Yuan said happily, "We can sell them for a lot of money."

"If I can earn more," said Boss Chen, "I'll go into the mountains again, and this time I'll bring a few more people with me."

Huh?

Qi Yuan suddenly looked at Boss Chen's face and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"

He already had a scar on his face, which was not very dark but still an eyesore, and now he had another shallow scar.

All on the right side of the face.

"You are disabled?" Qi Yuan asked, "How did it happen?"

Boss Chen touched his right cheek and found a two-inch long scar from the tip of his eyebrow to his right cheek, and now there was another one in the middle of his right cheek.

"We were robbed." Boss Chen said nonchalantly, "It's not safe in the deep mountains and old forests. Things like this happen from time to time."

He told Qi Yuan about his experience there. It was sparsely populated, except in the forest farm where the crowd was dense.

It can also ensure a little safety.

There are threats everywhere in other small villages and on various roads along the way.

Even in some towns, things often happen when people are eating or staying in a hotel.

"You brought four people with you." Qi Yuan was surprised, "And you were beaten?"

"We encountered a wooden warehouse." Boss Chen said nonchalantly, "I anticipated this when I went there, and I was prepared."

Qi Yuan: "!!!"

It's not easy to make money! If he knew about this situation, he would never tell Boss Chen about collecting ginseng.

"Just this once." Qi Yuan said, "It's too dangerous. We don't have to earn this much money."

"It's okay." Boss Chen didn't care. "I've already explored the way. If I don't go, all my hard work will be in vain."

"I'll bring more people next time." Boss Chen said with a smile, "This situation won't happen again."

People die for money and birds die for food.

Boss Chen is young and has experienced a lot, so he is not afraid of these things at all.

"Your friend," said Chen Lao Da, "the forest farm he's at is too poor. I'll help them a little and settle there in the future."

"I've already made arrangements with the people there," he said. "Ask the forestry people to help contact them. I'll go over there once in a while. I guarantee there will be no problem."

Qi Yuan was a little conflicted. Human life was at stake, and he didn't want to let Boss Chen and the others take risks just to make a little money.

"Don't think about that." Boss Chen saw his hesitation. "Those places are remote and generally poor. Most of the people who can collect these are evil-minded. We are helping them."

"Guess how much money those people gave for this hundred-year-old ginseng?" asked Boss Chen.

"It would cost at least 700 or 800, right?" Qi Yuan said, "Even if it's charged at the pharmacy, it would cost more than 2,000."

"Three or four hundred, the most expensive is only five hundred." Boss Chen said: "Many people are reluctant to sell, so they give us a discount."

"That's too little." Qi Yuan was dumbfounded. "Why did they lower the price so much?"

"It's not those people's fault." Boss Chen sighed, "Do you know how dangerous it is to travel back and forth? These people are risking their lives."

Transportation is inconvenient and you have to walk to many places. If you are not careful, you may encounter natural disasters or man-made disasters.

How can the price be so high?

The deep mountains are home to simple people who have never seen the world, and some have never even seen a train.

Where can they sell it?

"The area is poor and seriously lacks food." Boss Chen said, "I have already talked to the forest farm and will find a way to bring some food over to sell to them."

If this incident had not happened, even with the introduction of Cheng Xinyu, an acquaintance, we might not have been able to receive so many ginsengs.

"Will this work?" Qi Yuan asked, "What if you get caught?"

"It's okay." Boss Chen grinned, raised his eyebrows and looked carefree. "We have a newspaper about reform and opening up, and a letter of introduction from the forest farm to buy grain."

"Don't worry about that." Boss Chen said nonchalantly, "Selling the ginseng and making money is the important thing."

"The day after tomorrow, Sunday." Qi Yuan said, "Let's go to the pharmacy and see how much we can sell."

He went to several pharmacies, but the prices were different. Qi Yuan planned to take the ginseng and go back to negotiate the price.

"How much did you pay?" Qi Yuan asked.

"If it's a hundred years old, give it between eight hundred and one thousand yuan." Chen Lao said, "We don't know either. As long as it's confirmed to be a hundred years old, we'll charge eight hundred yuan. Anyway, you said it can be sold for more than two thousand yuan, so it's not a loss to give a little more."

"I can earn at least double the money." Qi Yuan's eyes were burning, and he smiled, "It was not in vain this time."

He looked at the scar on Boss Chen's face, thought for a moment and said, "You take four and I take six. I'll give you more."

Qi Yuan saw that Boss Chen was about to speak, so he waved his hand to stop him and said, "It's dangerous over there, and it's laborious and time-consuming, and it takes a lot of thought. So it's settled."

Since his face was disfigured, Qi Yuan felt that he had to be more generous.

...

"I'm back."

Qi Yuan heard the door open and ran to the door holding the wooden box, "Look what this is?"

He showed the ginseng to Shen Lingyun like he was offering a treasure, "Boss Chen is amazing. He brought so many. We are getting rich again."

"Great." Shen Lingyun glanced at the ginseng without much expression, and just nodded and said, "The more I earn, the better."

"After we sell all this ginseng," Qi Yuan followed him and said with a smile, "it will be enough to buy a house!"

Shen Lingyun paused, then sat down and looked at Qi Yuan, and suddenly smiled and said, "No wonder you are willing to sell it, so this is the reason."

Given how much Qi Yuan cherished and loved ginseng, when he said he wanted to partner with Boss Chen to trade ginseng, Shen Lingyun thought he was just joking.

I collected it and kept it for myself.

"If you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it." Shen Lingyun said: "Although this thing is not a life-saving medicine as you said, it is also very rare."

"No." Qi Yuan shook his head and said firmly: "I want to buy a house. If I don't buy one for a day, I will feel uncomfortable and can't sleep because of thinking about it."

Shen Lingyun: "..."

Who sleeps like a pig at night and keeps snoring?

"Pick the ones you like and keep two." Shen Lingyun smiled helplessly, "Otherwise, you will be too upset to sleep after they are sold out."

"Well..." Qi Yuan was undecided and said hesitantly, "Boss Chen said he will go there again in the future. We can stay there then and buy the house first."

"You can't just go there and get it." Shen Lingyun rubbed his brows tiredly and reminded him, "If a hundred-year-old ginseng is easy to get, it wouldn't be so precious. Maybe next time you go... you won't get much."

"Think about it again." Shen Lingyun said, "Don't rush to sell them all. I'll ask someone if there's anyone who needs them. The price may be higher than at the pharmacy."

He didn't expect that Boss Chen could bring so many ginsengs. Shen Lingyun thought it would be good to have one or two.

Qi Yuan saw that he might not want to sell, but he didn't take it to heart. Now Shen Lingyun heard that Qi Yuan was doing it for the house.

Since he was willing to sell it, I wanted to help find a buyer.

"Okay." Qi Yuan agreed happily and put the ginseng away. "I thought you would be happy to see it."

He ran to Shen Lingyun and massaged his shoulders. "Who can you ask? How much can it be sold for?"

"The lowest price should be the market price." Shen Lingyun said: "Go to the pharmacy and ask the price. Can you see ginseng? There is a price but no stock."

"Really?" Qi Yuan blinked, suddenly enlightened, "I didn't think about this question, I just thought about how much the pharmacy charged."

"Then call and ask tomorrow." Qi Yuan thought that the price was higher than that of the drugstore, and he could not help but said, "The sooner we sell it, the sooner we can buy a house, and then I will have less worries."

"Got it." Shen Lingyun's mouth curled up slightly, and he closed his eyes to enjoy Qi Yuan's kneading and pressing. "The house has almost become your obsession."

He asked casually, "After buying the house, will you be fine?"

Qi Yuan paused: How can it be okay?

But he didn't say anything. His smiling eyes turned around and he said with a smile, "It's okay for now."

Chapter 74

"You're not going?"

Qi Yuan looked at Boss Chen: "Didn't we agree to go together?"

"I want to go around." Boss Chen said, "I've been here many times, but I've never even been to the city center. I want to see more this time as I have time."

"You guys go ahead." Boss Chen said as he turned around, "I'll go over there in the evening."

"Okay." Qi Yuan nodded, "We don't have time to accompany you, so you can go for a walk by yourself. We'll settle the bill when you come back."

"Okay, let's go." Boss Chen waved and left.

Qi Yuan looked at the pharmacy behind him and couldn't help but reveal a bright smile on his face. He made a lot of money from ginseng this time.

"I didn't expect to make so much money." Qi Yuan said to Shen Lingyun, "It's more than doubled."

"Scarcity makes it precious." Seeing him happy, Shen Lingyun smiled and said, "If you sell it slowly, you can get more at the market price, almost double it."

Qi Yuan pursed his lips: I can't wait, I want to make money quickly.

"That's fine. Fifteen ginseng roots that are several decades old have earned more than two thousand." Qi Yuan said contentedly, "We still have a few ginseng roots that are a hundred years old, so we can earn more."

If Shen Lingyun hadn't forbidden him to sell it, Qi Yuan would have sold it to the pharmacy at more than double the price.

Just thinking about him makes me happy.

"Let's go." Qi Yuan pulled Shen Lingyun, "Let's go find Professor Qin. If he can't sell it, we can sell it to the pharmacy."

"Yes." Shen Lingyun nodded, "Let's buy the house today."

Qi Yuan couldn't wait any longer, and Shen Lingyun didn't want to delay any longer.

"Then we have a deal." Qi Yuan's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "We'll pay the money today and get the house."

"Um."

...

"Professor Qin." Shen Lingyun brought Qi Yuan to Professor Qin's house and saw several people sitting in the living room.

"I'm here, we've been waiting for you." Professor Qin took Shen Lingyun and introduced them to each other: "This is one of my friends, and they are all old guys from our School of Design."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." One of the impatient professors, Professor Wang, interrupted Professor Qin and said, "Old Qin, take out the ginseng first and let us have a look. We can talk about the politeness later."

"You old fellow!" Professor Qin pointed at him and scolded him with a smile: "After all these years, you still can't change your impatience."

He turned to look at Qi Yuan and said to Shen Lingyun: "This must be Qi Yuan. You just brought him here today. He is hiding well enough."

"Hello, Professor Qin." Qi Yuan greeted politely, and at the same time looked at Professor Qin for a few seconds.

"Okay." Professor Qin kindly asked them to sit down, "Take out the things first, they can't wait."

Qi Yuan placed the wooden box he was holding on the table, then opened it in front of everyone and took out four ginseng roots.

"This is a hundred-year-old ginseng. Please ask for a price." Qi Yuan said with a smile, "If someone wants to buy it, let's see how much they can offer. We will go back and discuss it later."

"Why didn't you come?" Professor Qin frowned. "How can we discuss the price if you don't come?"

"Hey!" Professor Wang, who was impatient, slapped his thigh, "That's not how you sell things. How can you negotiate the price if the owner doesn't come?"

"We have a reserve price." Qi Yuan looked at him and smiled, "And you didn't say you had to buy it, you just said you wanted to take a look. Our friend didn't come because he had something to do."

"Come, come, come." Professor Wang pulled the wooden box, "Let me take a look first. If it is really a hundred-year-old ginseng, I will definitely buy two. This is a rare treasure that is hard to come by."

When they heard what he said, the other two people stopped working and hurried together to watch.

"Lao Wang, you can't keep it all for yourself, we want to buy it too."

"Yes, I have been looking for this ginseng for many years, and no one can snatch it from me."

"It is." Professor Wang ignored the two people and looked at the ginseng carefully. "It's better than anything I've seen before."

He picked up a ginseng that he liked, and without looking at it carefully, he moved on to another one.

But it was intercepted by others.

"I say, Lao Wang, you've taken all the good ones." The man who got the ginseng said, "I want this one."

"I want these two." Another person was more efficient and directly gathered the remaining two in front of him. "I have an old mother at home, no one of you can snatch them from me."

They all knew about ginseng and had it at home when Qi Yuan took it out.

You can tell the age and quality of the ginseng.

Qi Yuan looked at the old men, who started scrambling for the food, and looked at Shen Lingyun with joy.

I didn't expect it to be so popular.

Shen Lingyun accepted his gaze, smiled at Qi Yuan, and signaled Qi Yuan not to speak.

Although they said they were discussing the price, in fact everyone knows the business, and there is no need to talk much when dealing with savvy people.

"Okay, okay." Professor Qin said impatiently, "You guys are grabbing them all, but what about me? You won't leave any for me?"

"Hey!" Professor Wang glared, "The seller you introduced didn't even get the good stuff first, and you still have the nerve to say such things to us."

"Yeah, we don't have enough to share yet, so don't make things more complicated."

"Yes, that's right. It's your own fault if you didn't take action in advance. Don't blame us."

The ginseng had already been divided among them, and Professor Qin would not give it to them even if they wanted to snatch it. This was not the time to be generous.

"What ungrateful old bastards." Professor Qin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, slamming the table and saying, "I really don't have any, not even a single one."

Professor Wang looked at him suspiciously, then at Shen Lingyun and the others, and suddenly smiled and said, "Ask your friend for help and buy a few more."

"If you have any extra, give me another one."

"I want one too."

The other two people spoke afterwards, as if the ginseng in their hands did not exist at all, and that this hundred-year-old ginseng was just cabbage.

If you say it, it will happen.

"Alright, alright." Professor Qin knew their character and didn't want to argue with them. "Give me the money, get out of here, and don't blame me for coming after you next time."

"Then let's go find your friend directly." Professor Wang ignored his words and said, "Let's get to know each other."

He greeted Shen Lingyun and Qi Yuan, then introduced himself and exchanged pleasantries after finishing his business.

Just in time.

"No more." In response to their question, Qi Yuan shook his head and said, "These were all brought by a friend. His home is in a forest farm on the edge of a deep mountain. The villagers asked him to help sell them."

"What if there are more?" Professor Wang was not giving up. "It's impossible to bring them all out at once. I saw that these ginsengs were collected many years ago. There must be someone who still has some in stock."

"This..." Qi Yuan looked embarrassed and turned to look at Shen Lingyun, "How about we ask again?"

"Let's see the price first." Shen Lingyun said lightly.

"Okay, let's talk about the price." Professor Wang was very nice and not in a hurry anymore. He smiled and said, "You name the price and we'll hear it."

He originally thought Qi Yuan looked innocent and that the kid was easy to fool, so he targeted him, but he didn't expect that the target would be Shen Lingyun.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Professor Wang knew that there was a way but it depended on the price.

"I've never sold it before." Shen Lingyun said calmly, "I don't know the market price. You guys can decide what to pay. We're all experts."

Huh?

Professor Wang then took the time to look at Shen Lingyun, and saw that the young man in front of him was neither humble nor arrogant, and his expression was neither happy nor angry.

Although these words are very ordinary, they give people a feeling that cannot be ignored.

Professor Qin watched coldly and drank his tea slowly, indicating that he was not involved in this matter.

"The drugstore charges 2,100 to 2,000 yuan." Professor Wang was not vague, and they did not want to take advantage of him. "The market price is 2,500 to 2,600 yuan."

He glanced at the two old friends beside him, and they looked at each other, with something in mind.

"We'll give you 2,800 yuan." Professor Wang said, "If you have any in the future, send them to us. How about that?"

Qi Yuan clenched his fists and almost laughed. He didn't expect that the price of each ginseng could suddenly increase by four or five hundred yuan.

He was about to nod in agreement when he heard Shen Lingyun's indifferent voice, "Three thousand, one price."

Qi Yuan held his breath in his throat, wanting to cough but holding it back, his face turned red in an instant.

It's so high, can I buy it?

"This..." Professor Wang hesitated, "The price is too high."

Two hundred extra dollars all of a sudden, even if they have the money, they don't want to pay such a high price.

If they didn't have wealth and the support of their old friends, they wouldn't be so generous.

"The price you offered is not low." Shen Lingyun saw him hesitate and said casually, "But there is no demand for it. And you know how much risk it took to bring these ginsengs here?"

"Yes." Qi Yuan reacted immediately, "In order to bring these ginsengs, several people were injured, and my friend even got a scar on his face."

He felt a little regretful that he didn't bring Boss Chen with him so that they could see it with their own eyes.

How much danger Boss Chen was in.

"The roads are not smooth in the deep mountains and old forests." Shen Lingyun said, "There are few people there, and there are often dangers. You can lose your life at any time. If you don't want to sell a few ginsengs at a high price, why would someone risk their life to bring them here?"

"It's really too dangerous." Qi Yuan said to Professor Wang and the others with a sympathetic heart, "This may be the only time. We will go back and persuade our friends not to take this risk in the future."

He thought of the dangers that Boss Chen had mentioned and felt a little scared. He couldn't risk his life just to make money.

At this moment, Qi Yuan no longer felt the joy of making money. He was determined to persuade Boss Chen.

"Alas!" Professor Wang sighed, "It's just three thousand. I'll take it."

He looked at the two old friends next to him. He couldn't make a decision for them. "You decide for yourselves."

"I want."

"I want one too."

They all knew that ginseng picking was dangerous, and coming here from the deep mountains and forests must be full of dangers.

So there was no hesitation at all.

After giving the money, the few people didn't keep much, but just said to Shen Lingyun and Qi Yuan: "If there is still money in the future, please leave it for us."

"Okay." Qi Yuan nodded.

Seeing Professor Qin sending someone off, Qi Yuan whispered, "When we get back, we must persuade Boss Chen not to go to the forest farm again. He won't make money like that anymore."

"You can't convince him." Shen Lingyun said, "He has to go there at least once. We can only try to sell it at a high price to make his hard work worthwhile."

Qi Yuan didn't say anything. He knew that Boss Chen was a loyal man since he had agreed to deliver food to the forest farm.

Regardless, I will definitely go again.

"Hey!" Professor Qin came back and said with a smile after sitting down: "These old guys are all very knowledgeable and shrewd."

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun smiled and said, "These ginsengs are of very good quality. They won't lose money if they buy them."

"Yeah." Professor Qin nodded. "They got a bargain. Otherwise, I don't know if they would be able to find it if they wanted to buy it."

"Qi Yuan." Shen Lingyun glanced at Qi Yuan, "Take out the ginseng left for Professor Qin and let Professor Qin take a look."

"Hey." Qi Yuan said in a clear voice, taking out a small box from his backpack, "I left two for you."

"Hahaha." Professor Qin suddenly laughed out loud. "I knew you wouldn't give all the ginseng to them. You would definitely leave some for me."

"If you know, just put it away." Shen Lingyun chuckled: "It's just right for you to replenish your body."

"Okay." Professor Qin didn't even look at the ginseng. He just pulled the wooden box in front of him and said, "Give me a prescription so I can take good care of myself."

"Yes." Shen Lingyun took out a piece of paper from his pocket, "I've written it for you. Let's recuperate for two months first."

"Okay." Professor Qin took the prescription, looked at Qi Yuan's curious face, and said with a smile: "Why? Don't you know that this kid knows medical skills?"

"I don't know." Qi Yuan's expression changed from surprise to grievance, and he looked at Shen Lingyun angrily, "You lied to me?"

"No." Shen Lingyun said: "I didn't intend to learn medicine at all. I just wanted to fulfill someone else's wish and didn't want the inheritance to be cut off. I will give it back to his descendants when I have the chance."

"?" Qi Yuan's eyes were blurred with tears. He couldn't accept this, but he couldn't react when Shen Lingyun said that.

"Someone died in the cowshed." Shen Lingyun said, "He passed on his medical skills to me, wanting me to pass on his family's unique skills to his descendants."

"I know how to do it, but I've never used it. It doesn't belong to me."

"Don't cry." Shen Lingyun saw him crying and said with some annoyance: "I wanted to keep this to myself because I couldn't find his family, so I didn't tell you."

Shen Lingyun wiped his tears, feeling amused and helpless, "You can cry over such a small matter."

"This is not a trivial matter." Qi Yuan still felt aggrieved, "As long as it's your business, there is no such thing as a trivial matter."

He didn't have to know all this, but Professor Qin knew all of this, but Qi Yuan knew nothing about it.

It was a little hard to accept for a while.

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun sighed in his heart, "I think this is the only thing I didn't tell you. You know everything else. Don't cry."

"You can't hide it from me in the future." Qi Yuan glanced at Professor Qin secretly, and seeing that he was drinking tea without looking at her, she leaned close to Shen Lingyun's ear and whispered, "I have to know everything that others know."

"Okay." Shen Lingyun agreed with a smile, "I understand."

He responded to Professor Qin's occasional mischievous glances with a warning look.

"Let's go look at the house." Shen Lingyun changed the subject and said, "Give the money to Professor Qin first."

"Yes." Qi Yuan's eyes, washed by tears, were moist and clear, and he said happily, "We still have some serious things to do."

His expression changed from surprise, grievance, tears to a happy smile.

Professor Qin was stunned.

So quickly? This is too fast.

"Qi Yuan is the most well-behaved and sensible." Shen Lingyun looked at Professor Qin and gave him a half-smile. "No one has a better temper than him."

Chapter 75

The two-story red brick building stands on the street.

Qi Yuan stood downstairs, looking delighted, "This will be our home from now on."

He turned to look at Shen Lingyun, and asked with a smile: "Are you happy?"

"I'm happy if you're happy." Shen Lingyun's lips curved slightly, and he looked at Qi Yuan with a gentle look, "Go in and take a look."

"Yes." Qi Yuan took out the key and opened the door. "Professor Qin said that no one has lived here before. This can be considered our new house."

"This is the wedding room prepared for his son." Shen Lingyun said: "It's a pity that it was not used. It is also a pain in his heart."

Professor Qin sold the house, probably because he didn't want to remind people of the past when he saw the house. Shen Lingyun sighed slightly.

"It's quite pitiful to be alone." Qi Yuan knew about Professor Qin's situation, but he couldn't understand it. "It's better to recognize him as the eldest son, so that there will be someone to see him off when he is old."

"You don't understand." Shen Lingyun said, "Professor Qin will never forgive him."

No one can forgive someone who takes the initiative to break off a relationship and then ignores the relationship for many years.

Seeing Qi Yuan looking at him in confusion, Shen Lingyun explained to him, "Professor Qin also has a daughter, and they have a pretty good relationship. She will have someone to accompany her when she gets old."

"There is more." Shen Lingyun thought for a moment and told Qi Yuan: "The death of Professor Qin's youngest son is more or less related to his eldest son. If this knot cannot be untied, don't mention it or try to persuade him."

He was afraid that Qi Yuan might mean well but end up doing something bad.

"It's a bargain for us." Qi Yuan thought about it and said, "Otherwise, Professor Qin wouldn't sell the house."

That's true.

Shen Lingyun didn't want to say more, "Go in and take a look, see if you like it."

Qi Yuan glanced at him, the corners of his mouth raised and he couldn't suppress his smile, "Our home, our new house, how could I not like it."

He walked into the small building.

Professor Qin said it was about 200 square meters. Qi Yuan took a look around and found it was indeed very large.

The first floor is almost catching up with Shen Lingyun's house.

The living room is very large, with two rooms, a kitchen, toilet and bathroom.

The floor is paved with tiles.

Qi Yuan went up to the second floor and found two large rooms with toilets and bathing areas.

There were two small rooms, nothing special about them, they were just normal small rooms for people to live in.

What surprised Qi Yuan was that there was a small hall opposite the stairs.

You can see the whole backyard.

"The backyard is so big." Qi Yuan said in surprise: "Is this the front yard and the back yard combined?"

Shen Lingyun stood by the second-floor window and looked out. "Houses facing the street usually have larger backyards."

"Just build another small building." Qi Yuan smiled and said, "That's enough."

The backyard faces an alley, where another door can be opened.

Qi Yuan estimated that the backyard was about thirty meters long and twenty meters wide.

It's enough to do whatever you want.

"I think they want to build a small garden in the backyard." Shen Lingyun said, "Look, there are rockery pavilions and ponds on both sides of the middle, but the area near the wall is bare. They probably want to plant some flowers and plants."

"It's time to plant some." Qi Yuan said, "Just like in our front yard, I plant flowers and only plant some vegetables in the backyard."

"Do you still grow vegetables at home?" Shen Lingyun smiled and said, "You've occupied a lot of vacant land in the family compound, and you've used it to grow vegetables."

"You'd be a fool not to plant it." Qi Yuan rolled his eyes. "Cheng Xinzhi said that the place where we live is the new land approved by the watch factory. Only three buildings have been built. Whoever wants the remaining land can take it."

He was just quicker and occupied a larger territory, so people started to talk nonsense.

It's so annoying.

"We still need to pay attention to neighborhood harmony." Shen Lingyun advised: "Don't quarrel with others all the time. It will be fine if everyone gets a little space."

"Yeah." Qi Yuan nodded perfunctorily, "I only asked for more than three acres of land. Didn't you see how eager those people were to grab it? Some people drew lines before turning the land over, and took more than half an acre of land, and they still shouted that they had less and others had more."

He curled his lips and said that the neighbors were harmonious.

"Okay." Shen Lingyun knew that Qi Yuan was sensible and would not go too far. "You can handle these things."

"The house has been bought, you should feel relieved, right?" Shen Lingyun couldn't help but smile and said, "It saves you from having sleepless nights every day."

"That's right, I can't sleep well every day." Qi Yuan said shamelessly, "This is all because of you!"

Qi Yuan looked at Shen Lingyun quietly and saw that he was smiling and looking at her with gentle eyes.

He seemed to be listening to himself carefully.

He waved his hand, raised his head and chest, looked at Shen Lingyun and said: "This is the house I bought for you, do you like it?"

"I like it." Shen Lingyun nodded, automatically filtering Qi Yuan's words, "Thank you for buying me a house."

However, he paused and asked with a smile: "We don't need to come and live here now, so we can only stay here idle."

This is also the reason why Shen Lingyun is not in a hurry to buy a house.

"Just idle." Qi Yuan didn't care, "It will be ours anytime anyway."

He looked around. The outside of the building looked a bit old, but the inside was brand new, just covered with dust.

"There's nothing to clean." Qi Yuan nodded with satisfaction. "Just clean it up when you move in."

"Yes." Shen Lingyun nodded. "This small building belongs to Professor Qin's youngest son. It has not been confiscated, no one lives there, and it has not been destroyed."

There really is no need to repack.

"Then, then you say..." Qi Yuan suddenly lowered her head shyly, twisting her hands together, "Should we get engaged?"

"I'm still young." Qi Yuan was entangled, and then sighed: "I'm not yet of legal marriage age, so it's still considered premature love..."

He really has no choice!

In fact, at his age, he can get married, but it is not allowed here.

Qi Yuan thought it would be okay to wait for a few years.

Shen Lingyun: "???"

His voice was a little erratic, "Qi Yuan, what did you say?"

The voice seemed to be incredulous, and asked again dryly: "Are you sure?"

"No." Qi Yuan looked up in surprise, not understanding why Shen Lingyun reacted like this. "Didn't we agree on this a long time ago?"

Shen Lingyun said that they would live together in the future, and Qi Yuan always remembered it.

"You don't want to get engaged?" Qi Yuan stared at Shen Lingyun and asked seriously, "You don't want to?"

"No." Shen Lingyun quickly rejected it, "Let's talk first."

He looked at Qi Yuan's clear and lively eyes, which were full of doubts, and his heart moved slightly.

"Don't you know that marriage requires a man and a woman?" Shen Lingyun asked, "Have you ever seen a man marry another man?"

"I know about marriages between men and women." Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew there were no young men here. "But I can. We are not men and men."

He was afraid that Shen Lingyun didn't understand, so he pointed at himself and said, "I'm the younger brother, we can do it."

Little brother?

Small antique?

Shen Lingyun looked deep and didn't speak for a long time. He saw Qi Yuan's calm and matter-of-fact look.

He pursed his lips tightly, frowned and asked, "Is it possible there?"

"Yes." Qi Yuan nodded, suddenly smiled, and said to Shen Lingyun mischievously: "In fact, men and men can also have it, but they can't have children."

He raised his head proudly, raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Lingyun, patting his chest, "But I can, you say you are so lucky."

"Give birth to a baby?" Shen Lingyun felt like he was standing on a cloud and could fall down and be smashed to pieces in an instant.

"Yeah." Qi Yuan nodded, put his hands behind his back, and said proudly, "Of course."

"Wait, let me take a break." Shen Lingyun turned around and didn't look at Qi Yuan. "We'll talk later."

"That's enough." Qi Yuan patted his shoulder disapprovingly and said with a smile, "I know you guys have too many things to do here, meddling in this and that. Didn't I say that we should get engaged first, and we'll get married when I'm an adult or reach the legal age for marriage?"

"Qi Yuan." Shen Lingyun said in a hoarse voice, "We don't have any young men here."

"Yeah." Qi Yuan nodded in understanding, "I noticed it a long time ago, I knew you might not have a little brother here."

In Banpo Village, the couples he met were always a man and a woman, and Qi Yuan had some guesses at that time.

Here he was even more certain.

"I've never heard of two men getting married," Shen Lingyun continued.

"Yeah." Qi Yuan understood. "There are very few in our place. Most of them are people who really can't afford to marry, or they are really in love with each other and they don't care about having children to be together."

"We..." Shen Lingyun was a little bit unable to continue, but still said stiffly: "We can only have one man and one woman here."

"Yes." Qi Yuan sighed: "I looked at the marriage law. It only has regulations for men and women. I knew that we might not be allowed to be together."

"Isn't this just right?" Qi Yuan leaned over and tilted his head to look at Shen Lingyun from the side of him. "Those laws can't apply to us. We make our own decisions."

Shen Lingyun felt a little tired and felt like he couldn't stand anymore. He wanted to find a place to sit down.

Stay quiet for a while.

But when he looked around, he saw only an empty house, not to mention furniture.

There's not even a stool.

Shen Lingyun took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He was no longer cold and indifferent.

I can't stand such an impact.

"What's wrong with you?" Qi Yuan saw that he looked unhappy, and his indifference made him feel uneasy. "Do you regret it?"

"No." Shen Lingyun retorted instinctively, "I just didn't expect this to be the case."

Qi Yuan was at a loss: I didn't understand.

"What's there to think about?" Qi Yuan asked, "We like each other and love each other, so why don't we get married and live together?"

"Girls are not good?" Shen Lingyun looked at Qi Yuan, "You don't like them?"

"Okay, I like it." Qi Yuan asked puzzledly: "Does this have anything to do with us? Or..."

"You like girls?" Qi Yuan seemed to have understood something, and pointed at Shen Lingyun and said, "You like them more than you like me, so you don't want to marry me?"

He took two steps back suddenly, as if he had suffered a great blow, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

Looking at Shen Lingyun in disbelief.

"No, I only like you." Shen Lingyun said helplessly without any hesitation: "But isn't it good for you to marry a girl?"

"I can only marry." Qi Yuan was surprised and said with tears in her eyes, "I can't get married."

Shen Lingyun stroked his forehead. He remembered that Qi Yuan could give birth to children, so he should not be able to marry and have children.

He felt that after being demoted, nothing could make him change his color anymore.

But now it's like being struck by lightning.

Shen Lingyun felt his head was dizzy and he could no longer think. His heart was also heavy as if it was weighed down by a thousand-pound weight.

"Wait a little longer." Shen Lingyun said mechanically: "We still have to go to school now, can we talk about this later?"

Qi Yuan remained silent.

He was obviously unwilling, but Qi Yuan pursed his lips and said nothing, just staring at Shen Lingyun.

"Since you are here." Shen Lingyun no longer tried to hide his identity. He guessed Qi Yuan's identity and said, "You must abide by the rules here."

He was somewhat unable to continue.

Looking at Qi Yuan standing there silently and motionless, Shen Lingyun felt a little distressed. He paused for a moment to calm down.

"We'll talk about it when you come of age." Shen Lingyun coaxed softly, "Okay?"

Chapter 76

"What's wrong?"

"Unhappy?"

Shen Lingyun had calmed down and looked gently at Qi Yuan who was standing straight with his lips pursed.

"Are you really angry?"

Shen Lingyun smiled gently, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and continued to coax her softly.

"I'm not angry." Qi Yuan stared at Shen Lingyun intently, "You don't like girls, so naturally you won't like boys either."

He smiled brilliantly and said with curved eyebrows: "Who else can you like? Isn't it me that you have always liked?"

Qi Yuan never worried that Shen Lingyun didn't like him, he was just worried that there was someone else who liked him.

Now that I have received affirmation, I am extremely happy, even though Shen Lingyun has not responded to me.

He didn't even agree to get engaged to me.

Qi Yuan was not angry either.

Shen Lingyun was speechless.

Is this what he is talking about?

"I know." Qi Yuan looked up at Shen Lingyun, "You don't know I'm a little brother. You don't have one here, and I'm not an adult yet."

He patted Shen Lingyun generously, indicating that he understood, "It's okay, you can accept it slowly, we have plenty of time."

Three more years until adulthood.

Qi Yuan was not in a hurry. Just now, when he saw Shen Lingyun's gentle eyes, he couldn't control his thoughts for a moment.

She proposed engagement despite being shy.

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Yuan didn't lose his temper. "You're right. We have plenty of time."

"Let's do what we should do now." Shen Lingyun said with a smile: "We can talk about the rest when you are an adult."

He no longer wanted to know how to solve it.

After hearing those words and the news that shocked him, Shen Lingyun knew there was no need to think of any more solutions.

Change Qi Yuan's mind.

"Let's go back." Qi Yuan's emotions came and went quickly, "We still have to settle accounts with Boss Chen."

He suddenly became happy, but Shen Lingyun felt heavy in his heart and frowned as he thought about the wording.

"Don't tell these things to anyone else." Shen Lingyun instructed: "Except for me, don't tell anyone else."

He looked at Qi Yuan seriously, and said with all his heart: "Even when you talk to me, you have to be careful not to be overheard."

"I know." Qi Yuan agreed with a soft voice and a smile in his eyes: "I know that no one should know about my affairs."

"Also." Qi Yuan pointed at himself, then at Qi Yuan, "No one can know what happened between us."

Shen Lingyun paused and looked at Qi Yuan with a puzzled look. Did he understand everything?

Qi Yuan walked and laughed, with a smug look in his eyes, saying: "You don't have any young men here, and you don't allow gay marriages, so I knew we had to keep it a secret from others."

"I know." Qi Yuan smiled mysteriously, leaned close to Shen Lingyun and whispered, "We can't get the certificate, hehe! Those laws can't affect us."

He had thought of these a long time ago.

The situation there is no different from here, with many things that are different from ordinary people.

Can't show it in front of people.

Just like Qi Yuan had supernatural powers since he was a child, his parents warned him not to show too much of it to avoid bringing disaster.

"Why are you suddenly talking about this today?" Shen Lingyun asked casually.

"I'm happy." Qi Yuan said with a smile: "We have a house now. This is our new house. I'm so excited that I want to get engaged to you as soon as possible."

"Actually, let's draft a marriage certificate first." Qi Yuan mentioned the old words again, looking at Shen Lingyun with a sharp gaze, his eyes full of desire, "Isn't this good?"

His eyes were clear, without a trace of impurities, filled with only joy and expectation.

"These are just external things." Shen Lingyun's heart softened, and he couldn't help but stroke Qi Yuan's hair again, "What I value is just a heart, don't you?"

"Yes." Qi Yuan nodded heavily, "We have the same heart."

He was not worried at all that Shen Lingyun would not agree to marry him. Qi Yuan was in Shen Lingyun's eyes.

From the beginning to the end, all I saw was tenderness, and full of love and care for myself.

Even though he was so shocked just now, and felt like he was struck by lightning for a moment, Qi Yuan did not feel Shen Lingyun's rejection.

"Study hard for the college entrance exam." Qi Yuan held Shen Lingyun's hand and said with a smile, "I will be a successful candidate for the imperial examination."

"In our place, you can become a high-ranking official." Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking secretly delighted, "It will bring honor to the family!"

Shen Lingyun: "..."

Not knowing what to say, he couldn't respond now and could only listen to Qi Yuan's joyful voice in silence.

...

"I've made a fortune."

When Qi Yuan saw Boss Chen, he immediately said happily, "Guess how much the ginseng sells for?"

Boss Chen raised his eyebrows nonchalantly and said with a smile: "Needless to say, it must be a good price. I can tell by how happy you are."

"I'm not just happy about this." Qi Yuan glanced at Shen Lingyun, his eyes full of joy, and told Boss Chen: "We bought a new house."

Shen Lingyun's eyelids twitched.

Then I heard Qi Yuan say, "No one has ever lived here. It's a real new house."

This is what Qi Yuan is most satisfied with.

"Congratulations!" Boss Chen sighed and said happily, "You guys are getting better and better. I envy you so much!"

"You can buy it, too." Qi Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, unable to suppress his smile, but still put on a reserved look and said, "With your financial resources, Boss Chen, you are not much different from us."

"No, no." Boss Chen said modestly, waving his hands repeatedly, "I still have a group of brothers, each of them is waiting to support their families."

He sighed and said, "I don't know when I will be able to reach your level."

Shen Lingyun sat quietly aside, not joining Qi Yuan and the others in flattering each other, but just laughing secretly.

I really don't trust Qi Yuan.

He relaxed his body, leaned on the armrest of the sofa, and supported his chin with one hand.

Looking at Qi Yuan who was laughing and talking happily.

The boldness and freedom in his brows made Shen Lingyun smile slightly. The child's smile was sincere, sweet and passionate.

No one will dislike it.

"As long as you follow me." Qi Yuan's eyes widened, and he patted his chest with pride, "Brother, I guarantee you will get rich."

"Ahem." Shen Lingyun coughed uncomfortably when he heard the word "brother". "Qi Yuan, talk to Brother Chen properly."

"It's okay." Boss Chen looked at Shen Lingyun with a smile, "I just like Qi Yuan's bold and energetic look."

"As long as you take the lead." Boss Chen said to Qi Yuan with a smile: "Brothers will definitely work with you."

"Hehe!" Qi Yuan looked at Shen Lingyun and smiled foolishly, "I'll make money to support you, and you can just focus on your college entrance exams."

He pointed at Boss Chen and said to Shen Lingyun, "This is our brother, don't you believe it?"

Shen Lingyun covered his forehead, but he actually wanted to cover his face more. Is Qi Yuan drunk without even drinking?

Full of nonsense.

"How could I not believe it?" Shen Lingyun said helplessly: "I'm just reminding you that it's time to settle the account."

He could see that Qi Yuan was inexplicably excited today and didn't let him vent.

Maybe I'll hold it in.

"Yes, yes, let's settle the bill." Qi Yuan nodded and said to Boss Chen, "I'll give you the money now."

He immediately took out a pen and paper and began to calculate how much money he should give to Boss Chen.

But the more he counted, the uglier his face became, and the more worried he looked. In the end, he even counted again with his fingers.

"Shen Lingyun." Qi Yuan said pitifully, "We are poor. We only have a few hundred yuan left."

Before he bought the house today, he had 15,000 yuan on him, and this is all he had left after buying the house.

Qi Yuan found it difficult to accept for a moment.

"Calculate again, maybe you're wrong." Boss Chen looked at him and said with amusement.

He looked at Shen Lingyun again and suggested, "Why don't you help calculate it again and see what's wrong."

"How could he make a mistake?" Shen Lingyun found it funny when he heard this. "Qi Yuan can tell you the truth for even a penny."

He patted his trouser pocket and said with a smile: "Give me ten yuan to carry with me, and ask me every day if it is enough and how much I have spent."

Shen Lingyun sighed: "I have to report my expenses every day."

Fortunately, he didn't spend a penny.

Just tell Qi Yuan that the money is still there.

"Ten yuan?" Boss Chen was surprised, and then he almost burst out laughing, "Just ten yuan, Ling Yun is such a big man, you are too stingy, aren't you?"

"He doesn't like to spend money." Qi Yuan was also worried and frowned, "Maybe I prepared too much for him, so he doesn't need to buy anything."

"How about..." Qi Yuan looked at Shen Lingyun and asked tentatively: "I'll give you an extra dime tomorrow, and you can buy some popsicles?"

"Didn't you bring me a popsicle?" Shen Lingyun shook his head, "No need to give me one. I really don't have any money to spend."

Qi Yuan calculated food, clothing, housing and transportation accurately, and there was no place where Shen Lingyun would need to spend money.

Ten yuan is just a decoration to him.

"Look, he doesn't even want money." Qi Yuan immediately smiled and said again: "He doesn't like to spend money."

"Not spending money is a good thing." Boss Chen's eyes were full of smiles, and he said slowly: "But ten yuan is too little. He is such a big man, and you are not short of money. Give him more. He won't spend it anyway."

"He is different from you." Qi Yuan did not give in at all on this point. "You are a business owner, and Shen Lingyun is a student. It is not appropriate for him to have too much money on him."

No matter who it is, they can see that Qi Yuan is not willing to give Shen Lingyun too much money.

What's more, it was Shen Lingyun who knew Qi Yuan well.

"Give the money to Brother Chen." Shen Lingyun changed the subject and said with a smile, "You never make mistakes in your calculations."

"I know." Qi Yuan looked at the money in front of him reluctantly, pushed it to Boss Chen, and muttered softly: "We have used all our money to buy a house."

Under Shen Lingyun's persuasion, he left two ginsengs and wanted to settle the bill at three thousand each.

Qi Yuan charged five thousand for the two given to Professor Qin, and he had to pay another thousand.

Qi Yuan didn't tell Boss Chen about this, for fear that he would refuse to pay him the original price for the ginseng.

"We still have a few hundred yuan." Shen Lingyun knew what Qi Yuan was thinking and was particularly supportive of Qi Yuan not taking advantage of Boss Chen. "We don't lack money to spend."

"Or, I'll leave some for you." Boss Chen wanted to return some of the money Qi Yuan gave him based on the 60% share.

"No need." Qi Yuan waved his hand immediately and took a deep breath. "I just want a lot of money. I can't have less money."

"He's just a money-grubber." Shen Lingyun explained to Boss Chen, "When the money is distributed next month, he'll have more money in his hands, and he'll be in a better mood."

"Alas!" Boss Chen sighed: "Ling Yun, you are so lucky! With him, you have nothing to worry about!"

There is a person called Qi Yuan, who knows how to make money at a young age and is in charge of everything at home and outside.

It doesn't make Shen Lingyun worry at all.

Boss Chen was really envious and admired.

"Yes." Shen Lingyun was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on Qi Yuan, "I am indeed blessed."

"Now you know?" Qi Yuan saw Shen Lingyun's gentle eyes and the words of admission, and immediately smiled with his eyes curved into small crescents, "How great it is to have me."

He was full of fighting spirit and aroused his fighting spirit. He patted his chest and said, "Let's discuss how to make money next."

Chapter 77

"What did you say?"

Shen Lingyun and Boss Chen said in unison: "Did you get the clothing equipment from the garment factory?"

"Why, surprise, right?" Qi Yuan crossed his legs and looked at the shocked expressions of Shen Lingyun and the others with a smile.

"It's no big deal." Qi Yuan said nonchalantly, "My classmate's mother is a leader in a garment factory. She sold me the equipment for revenge."

"When did it happen?" Shen Lingyun asked, "Why didn't I hear you tell me?"

"I'm afraid you'll be distracted." Qi Yuan pretended to clear his throat, "I can handle this little thing myself."

His eyebrows were curved and he smiled like a little fox, with cunningness in his eyes.

Qi Yuan plans to thank Zhao Li tomorrow.

Shen Lingyun was speechless.

Qi Yuan's face was full of "I'm thinking of you, come and praise me", no one else can be compared to him.

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun spoke faster than he thought, and praised directly: "Great."

"I give up." Boss Chen shook his head helplessly. Qi Yuan was really brave and dared to do anything. "You can even get the equipment from the garment factory."

But he was a little curious, so he asked Qi Yuan: "Who did you find? Who is so capable that he can sell you the equipment?"

this?

Qi Yuan looked at Shen Lingyun, then at Boss Chen, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's old equipment. The garment factory doesn't use it anymore." Qi Yuan said, adding, "But it's very cheap."

"Then, can it be used?" Boss Chen was dumbfounded. "It must have been eliminated and cannot be used, right?"

"Yeah." Qi Yuan nodded without hesitation, "Yes, it's unusable equipment, otherwise who would have the courage to sell it."

Boss Chen collapsed and leaned back on the sofa, thinking that the money was wasted.

"You want dad to help you fix it?" Shen Lingyun thought about it and said with a smile, "You're very smart."

"I was saying..." Qi Yuan moved closer to Shen Lingyun and whispered in his ear, "We are in tune with each other."

He chuckled secretly, feeling extremely happy that he and Shen Lingyun were born to be a family.

Qi Yuan thought about it and couldn't help but say, "We have one heart."

His eyebrows and eyes were full of joy and unspeakable affection. Shen Lingyun's gaze froze.

For no apparent reason, I felt a tingling sensation in my heart.

He covered his lips with his fist and coughed softly, his clear voice a little dry and hoarse, "You should explain it to Brother Chen, he is worried."

Qi Yuan looked at Boss Chen and saw him leaning dejectedly on the sofa, closing his eyes and stroking his forehead with a troubled look on his face.

His eyes rolled around, a bright smile broke out on his face, and he coughed to attract Boss Chen's attention.

"Uncle Shen has fixed the equipment." Qi Yuan said, "You can take it back and use it. It's much better than the sewing machine we use at home."

In order to make money, Qi Yuan discussed with Boss Chen last month and decided to sell cloth at the same time.

Also processing clothes.

But they only had a few home sewing machines, which were nothing compared to the garment-making equipment in a garment factory.

The finished products are not as good as those from garment factories.

Zhao Li's mother is a cadre in the garment factory. Qi Yuan asked Zhao Li to help with the connection and also asked Shen Wenqing for instructions.

Knowing that it could be repaired and continued to be used, Qi Yuan bought it.

"Huh." Boss Chen let out a long breath and looked at Qi Yuan helplessly, "Can you please give me a heads up if you have any problems in the future? This is scary."

"That's because you're timid and don't believe me." Qi Yuan rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously, then looked at Shen Lingyun with a smile on his face, "Look, he doesn't have any doubts at all."

"It's my fault. It's all my fault." Boss Chen raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. "I won't question it again."

Qi Yuan nodded in satisfaction and generously expressed his forgiveness, "That's more like it."

"Are you happy?" Qi Yuan asked Shen Lingyun, his eyes sparkling with tenderness, "We can make money again."

"Happy." Shen Lingyun rubbed his hair. The soft, black and shiny hair made him feel itchy when it was messed up in his palm. "You are efficient and thoughtful."

"I am a person who spends money recklessly." Qi Yuan affirmed himself, "I would only buy it if it can be repaired."

He seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Wait a moment."

Qi Yuan hurried into the room and took out a bag, which was filled to the brim with large items.

"Look." Qi Yuan opened it and took out the things inside. "I also bought some savings. Let's go back and make some of these and sell them. We will definitely make money."

"It's April now, and the north will soon be warmer." Qi Yuan said, "It's the right time to sell the collars. Then you can find more people to set up a small clothing factory and sell them to other places."

"No wonder, have you asked if there is any tax relief in the north?" Chen Lao said, "You have already thought about it."

"Yes." Qi Yuan smiled shyly, her cheeks gradually flushed, "It's just that I haven't contacted them yet, so I didn't tell you earlier."

The equipment of the garment factory was imported. Not only Qi Yuan was helpless, but Shen Wenqing was also unable to help.

Fortunately, he has Shen Wenqing as a bargaining chip.

Only by getting a few obsolete and unusable equipment can Qi Yuan's business be further expanded and he can sell them at a reduced price as he wishes.

"How many devices are there?" Shen Lingyun asked, "They can all be used. There won't be any problems easily, right?"

"Even if you don't believe your dad, you have to believe me." Qi Yuan patted his chest and said, "I guarantee there will be no problem. Uncle Shen said that there were problems with some parts, and he solved them all."

"Six." Qi Yuan frowned helplessly when talking about the number. "I've been persuaded to sell these. There are still a few in the warehouse. The clothing factory said that they can't sell all of them and have to keep some."

"If Uncle Shen wasn't busy," Qi Yuan said, "I would have taken him to the garment factory to have the rest fixed. It would have been fine if they didn't sell it to us and let the garment factory continue to use it. It would have been a waste to just leave it there and collect dust."

"This is really out of control." Boss Chen said hurriedly, "Don't be so kind and ungrateful. We've already bought new equipment, and you've hired technicians to fix it. But where are those leaders?"

"This?" Qi Yuan didn't understand. Wouldn't it be a good thing if it could be repaired and used?

"Brother Chen is right." Shen Lingyun explained to him, "If this situation happens, once it gets out, it will be considered that there are problems with the technical staff and the leaders are not doing anything, which will offend people."

Qi Yuan was helpless. It seemed that having good intentions but doing bad things made sense and could even get him into trouble.

He would never do this.

"I understand." Qi Yuan nodded. After thinking about it, he said, "If there is anything in the future, I will discuss it with you in advance to avoid mistakes due to my lack of understanding."

He had a little idea in mind, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud, but it was seen through by Shen Lingyun.

Shen Lingyun: "Do you want to sell well and get some goods to sell at the clothing factory?"

"Yes." Qi Yuan didn't feel embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed, and admitted: "I just want to sell the clothes of the garment factory. The clothes made by the factory director are beautiful."

"We have the equipment, and we can do it later." Shen Lingyun comforted him, "Don't worry, take it step by step. Now is not the time to be radical."

We have to wait for the comprehensive implementation of reform and opening up.

Qi Yuan and Boss Chen both understood Shen Lingyun's words, but they were both in a hurry to make money.

Unlike Shen Lingyun who can keep calm.

"There's no point in being anxious." Boss Chen said, "Fortunately, we can now openly do cloth business in the north. I'm already satisfied!"

"And more." Qi Yuan added, "Now we can also make clothes and save collars."

"Yes, I'll leave tomorrow." Boss Chen was motivated. "The sooner we get the equipment back, the sooner we can make money."

He wanted to leave right away, but it was almost evening and there was no time left.

"We sell fabrics while processing clothes for others." Boss Chen said, "Now we have a unique voice. You don't know how many people are jealous."

He laughs heartily and is no longer the sneaky, petty-minded person he once was.

"Except for the state-owned stores," said Boss Chen proudly, "we are the only one. Calling us a tailor shop would be lowering our status. I call ourselves a garment factory."

"Well done." Qi Yuan applauded enthusiastically, encouraging Boss Chen, "Although we are just individuals, who knows? We should brag when necessary."

"I'm not bragging." Boss Chen waved his hand and said with a leisurely smile: "We are a state-owned unit, approved by the city, and my subordinates are now formal employees."

"The few garment makers I hired are experienced craftsmen. I treated them the same as those in state-owned enterprises, and no one doubted it."

"You're taking advantage of a loophole." Shen Lingyun frowned, "It's better not to publicize it. It will be difficult to deal with it if it turns to an individual in the future."

"No." Boss Chen sat up straight and said seriously, "No matter what outsiders say or speculate, I will never mention it. I am afraid that it will be labeled as a state-owned enterprise in the future, and our efforts will be wasted."

"That's good." Shen Lingyun nodded. "You can only worry about your side. We can't help much. When the whole country implements reform and opening up, we will be stable."

Qi Yuan didn't understand all this. He looked at Shen Lingyun, then at Boss Chen, without expressing any opinion.

He knew that neither of them was stupid, and the decision would definitely be in their favor, so Qi Yuan didn't bother to think about it.

After Shen Lingyun and Boss Chen finished talking, Qi Yuan handed him a bag of savings and asked him to take it back and do as he was told.

"I can only buy 500." Qi Yuan said helplessly, "Let's find someone quickly and produce them ourselves."

He was worried, so he told Boss Chen, "I've thought about it for a long time. I think saving money will definitely make money. You can produce more and sell it somewhere else."

"I know." Chen Lao said, "Don't worry, I will use our current advantages to take over the state-owned stores in several nearby cities."

"As long as our stuff is unique, we will definitely make money." Boss Chen was very confident. "I did as you said and looked for it in many places, but they couldn't find it for sale."

"It's okay if it's not unique." Shen Lingyun reminded: "Several garment factories in Shen City produce it. It doesn't matter if it's produced in garment factories in the north. There are so many places and people, it's not something that one or two companies can supply."

Boss Chen is quite ruthless, and Shen Lingyun was afraid that he might go astray, so he explained everything to him in advance.

Lest he do anything.

After they finished talking about this matter, Qi Yuan did not forget his worries and began to persuade Boss Chen.

Don't see ginseng violence, ignore the threats and go to the forest farm, or take risks in the deep mountains and forests.

"We have many opportunities to make money." Qi Yuan looked worried, "Ginseng is not a long-term business. If it's too dangerous, don't do it."

"I know." Boss Chen smiled and accepted Qi Yuan's kindness, but told Qi Yuan, "I still have to go there to deliver the food."

He never broke his promise.

"If something cannot be done, then do not do it." Shen Lingyun said: "We trust your judgment, and you decide on this matter."

Qi Yuan tilted his head and looked at Shen Lingyun in confusion, wondering why he didn't join him in persuading her.

Didn't we all speak?

Shen Lingyun received his gaze and smiled slightly, saying, "We should trust Brother Chen. He has his own judgment on what is beneficial to him."

"Okay." Qi Yuan curled his lips, "I worried for nothing, you guys don't take it seriously."

"How could that be?" Boss Chen laughed, thanked him and explained, "We all believe in you, but some things cannot be finalized. We still have to look at the actual situation."

Qi Yuan is young after all. Even if he is smart and capable, he is still not as good as Shen Lingyun and Boss Chen in some things.

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun also nodded and comforted Qi Yuan, "If there is anything, we will discuss it together. Nothing will go wrong."

...

I don't know if it's because of the immediate expansion of business or if I'm just really happy today.

Qi Yuan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night.

He saw that Shen Lingyun was still studying, and even though he didn't want to disturb him, he couldn't help but say a few words to him.

"Shen Lingyun." Qi Yuan called out softly. If he didn't hear it, Qi Yuan planned to remain quiet.

"What's wrong?" Shen Lingyun didn't look up, but asked, "Can't sleep?"

The little pig that used to snore is suffering from insomnia today?

"I was thinking..." Qi Yuan paused for a moment, "Should I give you a few more dimes tomorrow so you can buy whatever you want?"

"No need." Shen Lingyun refused, "There's nothing to buy. We already have everything at home."

What can you buy with a few dimes?

If Qi Yuan were asked to check the accounts every day and ask himself how the money was spent and what was bought.

Shen Lingyun thought it was better not to do so.

"Then I'll bring you another bottle of soda?" As expected, Qi Yuan took back the money the next second and said, "Just drink it if you have nothing to do. Don't be reluctant."

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun responded softly.

"What else do you want?" Qi Yuan turned his head and looked at Shen Lingyun, "I'll buy it for you."

"These are enough." Shen Lingyun pinched his brows, amused and helpless, "It's not good to bring too much food to school."

He now puts popsicles in his thermos and his schoolbag is filled with soda, melon seeds, peanuts and pine nuts. Every day he has to face the gazes of his classmates.

It's like he's a foodie.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yuan frowned. It's not against the law to bring your own food. "Just be careful and don't let the teacher find out. That's what I always do."

Shen Lingyun paused. It seemed that Qi Yuan brought a lot of food to school and had some experience.

"Go to sleep." Shen Lingyun said, "You have to go to school tomorrow."

"I can't sleep." Qi Yuan was also surprised. "How come I can't sleep sometimes? It's really strange."

His eyes were black and bright, blinking in the darkness, with a burning gaze.

"Don't think about anything." Shen Lingyun said, "Empty your mind and you will fall asleep in a while."

"No way!" Qi Yuan sighed: "My mind is full of you now, I can't think of anything else."

"Tell me, how can it be so good for two people to be in love with each other?"

Shen Lingyun: Do you have to say this? Are you doing this on purpose?

"I want to sleep too." Shen Lingyun said helplessly, "Turn off the lamp, it will be better."

He turned his head and met Qi Yuan's fiery eyes, which were tender and affectionate.

Shen Lingyun thought: This describes Qi Yuan's look at the moment, right?

"Go to sleep." Shen Lingyun put his hands on Qi Yuan's eyes. "How old are you? That's all you can say."

"Hehe." Qi Yuan laughed awkwardly, "It wasn't a big deal before you didn't know, but now that you know and it's settled, I keep thinking about it."

Shen Lingyun really wanted to ask: Why did you suddenly have this idea and when did it start?

But he knew that if he continued talking, he would talk more and more, and he would not be able to sleep tonight.

"Go to sleep." Shen Lingyun said again, "I'm sleepy too."

"Okay, I'll go to sleep now." Qi Yuan immediately became obedient, lying quietly on the bed without moving, and urged Shen Lingyun, "Go back to your bed and lie down, and go to sleep quickly."

Shen Lingyun suspected again: Qi Yuan might have done it on purpose.

Chapter 78

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the day before May Day, the midterm exam results of Qiyuan School came out.

On this day, Shen Lingyun returned home and was warmly welcomed by Qi Yuan.

"Come on, sit down and rest for a while." Qi Yuan smiled and said gently, "Tomorrow is a holiday, so take a rest today."

He brought soda and a wet towel for Shen Lingyun to wipe his face and hands, and also told Shen Lingzhi who was standing beside him: "Turn down the volume of the TV, your elder brother doesn't like to watch it."

Shen Lingyun: "..."

He looked at Qi Yuan in confusion, even though Qi Yuan had taken great care of him during this period of time.

But not as diligent as today.

Shen Lingyun didn't say anything. After Qi Yuan finished his work, he sat down. A smile flashed across his eyes.

"Are the results out?" Shen Lingyun asked calmly.

"Oh, it's out."

Qi Yuan took out the transcript and looked at the scores on it, not wanting to hand it in. "It's OK. The teacher said there's no problem getting into high school."

"Let me see." Shen Lingyun reached out to take the report card, but failed to move it after pulling it twice. "What's wrong?"

Qi Yuan said seriously: "Actually, I think there is something wrong with the school."

"What's the problem?" Shen Lingyun glanced at the report card in his hand and retracted his hand. "The score is wrong?"

The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a faint smile. "It's easy to solve. Just ask the teacher to correct it."

"No." Qi Yuan sighed and looked at Shen Lingyun innocently, "I memorized all the questions in the book, but there weren't that many exams. There were some questions I had never seen before, how could I know how to answer them!"

"You said the school is unreliable. They don't test questions from the textbooks. Where did they get these messy and incomprehensible things?"

Qi Yuan was worried, his fair cheeks wrinkled into a ball, "I should have got full marks, but I only got this much. All my efforts were in vain."

"Pfft!" Shen Lingzhi, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but said, "Brother Xiaoyuan, you can't just memorize the questions in the book, there are also test papers."

But he knew that every night Qi Yuan sat in the living room watching TV, waiting for his eldest brother to come back.

Either waiting at the door or going to the kitchen to cook, pretending to be serious.

"Your brother didn't teach me." Qi Yuan straightened his chest and said confidently, "How could I know it?"

He glared at Shen Lingzhi, "It's so late and you're still watching TV. You're everywhere. Why are you meddling in adults' affairs?"

"Brother Xiaoyuan, I was wrong." Shen Lingzhi quickly admitted his mistake, "I'm on holiday starting tomorrow. Let me watch it for a while. I won't delay your conversation with Big Brother."

He didn't dare to offend Qi Yuan, the head of the family.

"Yes." Qi Yuan nodded with a serious face, "Then let's watch for a while."

In this family, he must have dignity as the eldest son and daughter-in-law.

To be respected by everyone.

"You don't know how to do these questions either." Qi Yuan looked at Shen Lingyun and said in a relaxed tone, "You haven't taught them before, and they're not in the book either."

Shen Lingyun: "..."

Is this my fault?

"How many points did you get?" Shen Lingyun looked into Qi Yuan's eyes and asked, "You can't fail, right?"

"How is that possible?" Qi Yuan was unhappy. He threw the report card to Shen Lingyun, puffed up his cheeks and said angrily, "I'm so smart, how could I fail?"

"Our teacher said I can go to high school." Qi Yuan said with great confidence: "I don't even need a perfect score."

He had already inquired about it, and said without any guilt: "Even if I don't learn it now, it's all safe."

Shen Lingyun ignored him and looked at the series of scores of over 80 on the transcript, feeling speechless and amused.

"You are really capable. The scores are almost the same, not much difference." Shen Lingyun praised: "Not everyone can do this!"

"Of course." Qi Yuan was not modest at all and said shamelessly: "I have put in so much effort and hard work for my studies, and I feel a little sorry for this little achievement."

He thought Shen Lingyun would definitely dislike his low scores and would be strict with him, asking him to continue studying hard.

So he asked Shen Lingyun to show mercy.

You must not arrange all your time for study, otherwise Qi Yuan will be depressed to death.

"I may not be able to get full marks." Qi Yuan looked away, not meeting Shen Lingyun's gaze. "It's too difficult."

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun responded softly and chuckled, "The test was good, very good."

"Ah?" Qi Yuan turned around and looked at Shen Lingyun in surprise, "Did I do well in the exam?"

"Of course." Shen Lingyun affirmed, "You have only studied for a little over a year, and it is really good to have such a result."

Also works very hard.

His eyes were gentle, and he pulled Qi Yuan to his side, "It's inseparable from your efforts and hard work, Qi Yuan, you are really outstanding."

"You, you are thinking these things?" Qi Yuan was surprised and delighted, and said incoherently: "I, I just said that you love the whole family."

He wanted to say: You like me, so you like everything about me.

But there were people in the living room, so Qi Yuan could only look at Shen Lingyun happily and said vaguely: "I, I know, I am good in every way."

"You are indeed good in every way." Shen Lingyun had to admit, "I can't find any shortcomings."

"Shen Lingzhi." Qi Yuan suddenly turned around and said loudly: "Look, no matter how well you do in the exam, your eldest brother is praising me."

Qi Yuan was very pleased and looked at Shen Lingzhi proudly, "In Shen Lingyun's eyes, I am the best, no one can compare to me."

Shen Lingzhi was startled and looked at Qi Yuan speechlessly, not knowing what to say.

Did he compete? There are still people who show off like this.

"Humph." Qi Yuan snorted and curled his lips in disdain. "You still need to work hard and not be complacent. Do you understand?"

Qi Yuan is in charge of all the big and small matters in the family. The two brothers Shen Lingzhi and Shen Lingyue are now under his leadership.

Qi Yuan consciously took over their educational issues.

"Got it." Shen Lingzhi straightened his attitude and secretly curled his lips in his heart: It's really an unexpected disaster.

"Where is Xiaoyue?" Shen Lingyun asked.

"I slept." Qi Yuan said, "I went to bed at nine o'clock."

He turned to look at Shen Lingzhi again, pointed at the clock in the living room, and said, "Look at what time it is? Even if it's a holiday, you can't ignore the rest time, right?"

"I'll go to bed now." Shen Lingzhi saw that it was already ten o'clock, and stood up helplessly and said, "The TV will be gone at the latest after eleven o'clock. I can't watch it for long even if I want to."

"He can even talk back." Qi Yuan told Shen Lingyun about this. "He needs to be well disciplined, otherwise he will just be naughty and disobedient."

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun nodded and said calmly, "Then you should take good care of it."

Shen Lingzhi paused on his way back to the room: Is this still my biological brother?

He returned to the room angrily, and the moment he entered the room, he turned around and stood at the door and said, "I ranked third in the exam, I will continue to work hard."

"So what?" Qi Yuan looked at him strangely, "What's wrong with being the third place? You want a reward? Didn't I give it to you?"

"..." Shen Lingzhi felt depressed. He stood at the door and looked at Qi Yuan. What he saw was Qi Yuan's inquiring eyes.

And there is Shen Lingyun's calm gaze.

"No." Shen Lingzhi felt a little sad, "Didn't you give me a one-yuan reward?"

"Yes." Qi Yuan nodded, "What else do you want?"

"No." Shen Lingzhi wanted to watch TV for a while, but he knew how powerful Qi Yuan was, so he didn't dare to say: "I just want to ask when Dad will be back."

"I don't know." Qi Yuan said, "If you miss Uncle Shen, go to his workplace tomorrow."

"Shall we go together tomorrow?" Qi Yuan asked Shen Lingyun, "Uncle Shen hasn't been home for ten days, and Xiao Yue has been missing his dad."

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun nodded, then looked at Shen Lingzhi, looking him over with a knowing look, "During the holidays, take Xiaoyue out to play, don't stay at home all the time."

"Hey." Shen Lingzhi was delighted, and the boy's clear voice was filled with joy, "I'll take him out tomorrow."

He closed the door happily and contentedly.

Qi Yuan said to Shen Lingyun with absolute certainty: "He is jealous of me."

"Really?" Shen Lingyun thought of the one yuan reward given by Qi Yuan, and thought with amusement: Who is jealous of whom?

He is usually very generous. He gives his two younger brothers five yuan pocket money each a month, and continues to give them the next month without asking whether the money has been spent.

Such good results but only given a one-yuan reward?

"Shen Lingyun." Seeing that he was silent and sitting there drinking soda, Qi Yuan approached Shen Lingyun with a smile, "Tell me, am I really as good as you say?"

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun stood up as if nothing had happened, "I'll go take a shower first."

"Oh." Qi Yuan rolled his eyes and asked with a smile, "Do you want a back rub?"

Shen Lingyun's figure shook, and he strode towards the bathroom, "No need."

"Humph." Qi Yuan's eyes were full of cunning, and he looked at Shen Lingyun who was fleeing in panic with pride, "I told you not to say nice things to me."

...

The next day, Qi Yuan got up yawning.

Seeing that there was no one on Shen Lingyun's bed, he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to the kitchen with messy hair.

"Tell me about you?" Qi Yuan looked at Shen Lingyun who had already prepared breakfast and complained, "Didn't I tell you to sleep a little longer? Why is it not nice?"

He and Shen Lingyun talked last night, so they got up later today and everyone had a good sleep.

"In this house." Shen Lingyun walked to his side and pushed him to wash up. "You should sleep more. You work the hardest."

"Really?" Qi Yuan's eyebrows curved, and the corners of his mouth turned up to show a bright smile, "You think I'm working hard, why don't I feel it?"

"That's because you can endure hardship." Shen Lingyun said, "But I have eyes."

"You!" Qi Yuan said in a long voice, with shy eyes: "Why do you all think I'm good?"

He pointed at Shen Lingyun's chest and tapped it a few times with his fingers, "This is all me."

"Go wash up." Shen Lingyun was unmoved. This kind of scene happened frequently and he was used to it.

"Okay, wait for me." Qi Yuan said with a smile, "Let's eat together, and you can eat more."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Lingyun turned around, closed the door, and left quickly.

Qi Yuan curled his lips, with some dissatisfaction in his eyes, and he really didn't seem to be reluctant to leave at all.

When he came out again, he happened to meet Shen Wenqing coming out of the room with sleepy eyes.

"Uncle Shen?" Qi Yuan asked in surprise, "When did you come back? How come we didn't know?"

"I came back too late yesterday, and you were already asleep." Shen Wenqing smiled and said, "I haven't been back for a long time, and I missed you kids."

"We miss you, too." Qi Yuan said with a smile, "We have already agreed to visit you at work today."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Lingyun with a look of resentment, "Look, Uncle Shen, just tell us when you miss us, how honest."

Shen Lingyun raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "Qi Yuan, I miss you very much, what do you think?"

"Very good." Qi Yuan was delighted and immediately moved closer to Shen Lingyun, "You say this every day, and I don't mind."

"Xiaozhi, Xiaoyue, how about you guys?" Qi Yuan asked with a smile, but his eyes were threatening, "Have fun these few days! It's not easy to have a long vacation."

"Yes." Shen Lingzhi immediately understood the meaning and immediately supported: "Big brother doesn't talk much. You should talk more with Xiaoyuan brother."

Xiao Yue was too young, only eight years old, and looked at Qi Yuan and then at Shen Lingyun, not quite understanding, "Brother, just tell me if you miss Brother Xiaoyuan. Brother Xiaoyuan treats you the best."

He puffed out his chest and said righteously, "If it were me, I would say I like Xiaoyuan brother every day."

"Yes." Qi Yuan nodded with satisfaction, "I'll increase my pocket money this month, ten yuan."

"Oh, oh, oh." Xiao Yue rushed to Shen Wenqing and hugged his arms happily, "Dad, Brother Xiaoyuan is so good to us."

Shen Lingyun was too lazy to look at them, so he turned and walked towards the dining table, "It's time to eat."

Qi Yuan laughed, the whole family supported him, how long could Shen Lingyun be stubborn?

Shen Wenqing held Xiao Yue's hand, a smile on his face, and sat down at the dining table.

I expressed my opinion, "Xiaoyun, don't be too strict with yourself. Make some time to go out and play with Qiyuan. This child is too tired."

"You need to love him more."

In Shen Wenqing's heart, he didn't want Shen Lingyun to always be so cold, as if his emotions would never be touched by anyone.

He felt pity and love for Qi Yuan. "Xiao Yuan doesn't like to go out and doesn't have many friends. You should spend more time with him at this time."

Shen Lingyun looked up expressionlessly, looked at Shen Wenqing's calm and deep eyes, and nodded after a long while.

"Yes, I understand."

"No need to accompany me specially." Qi Yuan said, with a smug look in his eyes, but generously said: "He doesn't go out anyway, and I am everywhere at home."

This sentence was a bit strange, but there was nothing wrong with it. Only Qi Yuan and Shen Lingyun understood it.

"You have to go out today." Shen Wenqing didn't pay attention to this and talked about business, "There are guests at home, and we need to prepare lunch at noon."

His attitude was so serious that Qi Yuan and the others thought he was some strange guest, until the guest arrived.

Chapter 79

"Who's coming?"

The door outside opened, Qi Yuan stuck his head out of the kitchen to look, and was stunned.

"It's them!" Qi Yuan poked Shen Lingyun next to him, "What a rare guest."

"Who is it?" Shen Lingyun asked without raising his head.

"Shen Siyue and Shen Xiyue." Qi Yuan said in a low voice.

"Oh." Shen Lingyun responded indifferently.

Qi Yuan glanced at him and saw that he still had that indifferent expression, so he was not surprised.

These two sisters never came here even when the two brothers Shen Lingzhi and Shen Lingyue moved in.

Even during the Chinese New Year, when Shen Wenqing wanted to invite a few children to spend the holiday with him, they did not come.

Qi Yuan was very curious about the sudden visit today.

He wanted to go out and take a look, but Shen Lingyun stopped him, "Cook."

"Oh." Qi Yuan paused and turned back, "I'm just curious, why did Uncle Shen say he was a guest?"

"Since you don't consider this place your home, you are naturally a guest." Shen Lingyun said lightly, "Dad is not a child, he will naturally understand."

Qi Yuan: I don't understand.

When Shen Lingyun saw that he didn't say anything and frowned in thought, he knew that he didn't understand.

"You don't need to understand." Shen Lingyun said with a smile: "These have nothing to do with you."

"That's right." Qi Yuan lost his curiosity. "I cooked."

What mattered to him was that they were Shen Lingyun's sisters. Since they wanted to distance themselves from each other, Qi Yuan was happy and at ease.

...

In the living room, Shen Siyue and her sister came in and saw Shen Wenqing sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

"dad."

"dad."

The two people greeted each other and stood quietly in front of Shen Wenqing without sitting down directly.

"Please sit down." Shen Wenqing put down the newspaper and asked them to sit down. He then said to the two brothers Shen Lingzhi, "Your sisters are here to see you. You can talk here."

He got up and went to the study, and said to Shen Siyue and the others, "Let's have lunch here. The food has been prepared."

"No need, we'll leave in a moment." Shen Siyue said hurriedly.

Shen Wenqing paused and said without turning his head, "You are welcome to do whatever you want."

Even though she was his own daughter, Shen Wenqing didn't want to force it.

"dad."

Who knew that Shen Xiyue called him again, "I have something to talk to you about."

"What's the matter?" Shen Wenqing looked at her in confusion, "Tell me."

Didn't he tell me yesterday that he wanted to come and see his two younger brothers? Why is he busy again today?

"My mother wants me to work." Shen Xiyue hesitated for a moment and said, "She has approached me several times."

Shen Wenqing didn't say anything, sat down again, thought about it and asked, "Why didn't you say it yesterday?"

"I..." Shen Xiyue looked at her sister, "My sister said it's inconvenient to talk about this outside, so let's talk about it at home."

"So..." Shen Wenqing looked at his two daughters, "You are not here to see Xiaozhi and the others, but to find an excuse to tell them something."

"No." Shen Siyue took over and said, "We are here to see them too."

"Okay." Shen Wenqing nodded, "Then you guys talk, I'll go to the study."

"Dad." Shen Xiyue couldn't help but shout.

"That's your job. If you want to give, give. If you don't want to give, don't give." Shen Wenqing said, "What's there for you to tell me?"

He still remembers that his two daughters said they wanted to be independent and were already taking care of their own affairs.

Why do you need to ask for your opinion on this matter?

"But my mother insists." Shen Xiyue said somewhat frustratedly: "She said that now the country has cancelled the rural relocation program, so it's useless for me to work, and I can go back to school."

"Do you want to go to school or work? Don't you know?" Shen Wenqing said hesitantly, "You decide for yourself. I won't interfere."

"Of course I want to go to work." Shen Xiyue looked at her sister and saw that she lowered her head and didn't speak. She could only say to herself: "But my mother scolded me several times."

"Don't you know her secret?" Shen Lingzhi suddenly said, "How dare she do this to you."

"Xiaozhi." Shen Siyue raised her head and said disapprovingly, "How can you say that about your mother?"

"She is our mother no matter what. What can you gain by embarrassing her?" Shen Siyue said seriously, "This matter must not be mentioned."

"I didn't ask you to go out and make a fuss. I just told her not to bother you again." Shen Lingzhi said bluntly, "Just tell her family."

"Can't her family control her?"

"Why are you like this?" Shen Siyue was a little angry. "We are also my mother's family. How can you threaten your own family? Who did you learn this from?"

"Threat?" Shen Lingzhi sneered and said coldly: "Don't forget, it is because of threatening her that you can avoid going to the countryside and have a job."

He curled his lips and looked at his two sisters with disdain, "If you think what you did is wrong, you can just give her the job. Why are you coming here to say this?"

"Xiaozhi." Shen Wenqing called him.

"Dad." Shen Lingzhi's voice softened. "What else can you do now? Do you want to take care of this matter? How do you want to take care of it?"

Shen Wenqing: "..."

He didn't want to care and thought there was no need to care, as Shen Xiyue and the others could handle it themselves.

"So what is the purpose of your coming here today?" Shen Lingzhi saw that his father didn't say anything, and then asked: "What do you want Dad to do?"

He felt a little angry. He was claiming to be watching him, but he actually had other intentions.

What a good sister.

Shen Lingzhi has been ignored for so many years, and finally there are people who care about and love him and his brothers. He doesn't want to be affected by them.

"This..." Shen Siyue was speechless, "I just want to solve this matter."

"Yes." Shen Xiyue also said: "After all, she is my mother, so I can't make a scene too ugly."

"You can only choose one between your mother and your job." Shen Lingzhi said coldly, "No one else can help you."

His words made Shen Siyue and her sister feel uneasy. They looked at Shen Wenqing frequently, only to see that he was frowning and thinking deeply.

There was no intention of speaking at all.

"We are your sisters, your real sisters." Shen Siyue was a little sad. "How can you talk to us like this and don't remember the kindness of our mother at all?"

"Okay?" Shen Lingzhi was speechless, looking at his two sisters as if they were idiots, "I am four years old, which means I don't have a father or a mother. What do you want me to remember?"

His memory had long been fuzzy, and some of it were bad memories, Shen Lingzhi only knew.

If you want to live a good life, you have to work hard.

"Since you remember her kindness." Shen Lingzhi said bluntly: "You shouldn't have come today. Just give the work away."

"And more." Shen Lingzhi thought about it and said sarcastically, "It seems that your memory is as bad as mine. Have you forgotten who contributed to your current situation?"

"My eldest sister's job was given up by my eldest brother." Shen Lingzhi continued, "My second sister got her job because of my eldest brother's threat."

"You have jobs and money, and this place is filled with the shame of my father. Why don't you remember these good things?"

"I..." Shen Siyue's anger was gone after being choked, and she was only angry and humiliated. "Why did you say such harsh words? Do you have a grudge against us?"

"No grudge." Shen Lingzhi sneered, "I just can't stand it and can't stand it."

"Mom said she still has to pay it back." Shen Xiyue was young and had simple and pure thoughts. She felt that what Shen Lingzhi said made sense, and said a little embarrassedly: "Without this job, she can't pay it back, and there are often quarrels at home, blaming mom for giving me the job."

She and her sister felt uneasy but couldn't directly refuse their mother, so they could only come here to find a solution.

They had never even thought about the threats that Shen Lingzhi mentioned. How could they do such a thing?

"That's her problem." Shen Lingzhi was annoyed. These two people were simply unyielding. "Don't you want to think about your own way out?"

He had already done what he should have said and done, if they still didn't understand.

Shen Lingzhi had no choice. He had already done his duty as a younger brother and reminded them.

"Xiao Yue, let's go to the room." Shen Lingzhi pulled Shen Lingyue away. Shen Lingyue still wanted to watch TV, "I'll watch it for a while."

"Let's wait and see." Shen Lingzhi took the person away without saying anything.

He didn't want to see these two sisters at all.

"Go ahead." Shen Wenqing saw his two sons leave, and finally said, "What does Su Yuting mean?"

He is not a child who can be easily fooled. He understands what Su Yuting wants to do.

Shen Wenqing was a little angry. Why did adults' affairs always involve children and play tricks on him?

Is it possible?

"Mom said she wants to pay you back." Shen Siyue felt uncomfortable when Shen Wenqing looked at her, "I can't pay you back without a job."

"What else?" Shen Wenqing continued to ask.

He didn't look at Shen Xiyue. The child was young and didn't understand some things.

So he kept looking at Shen Siyue.

"No more." Shen Siyue hesitated for a while and said, "I just want to pay back the money."

"Oh." Shen Wenqing was a little disappointed, but didn't say anything. "Then you decide for yourselves. I won't interfere or get involved in this matter."

"Dad." Shen Siyue was shocked. She didn't expect him to say that. "Didn't you say you would take care of us? We can come to you if we have any problems?"

"Yes, Dad." Seeing that he didn't care, Shen Xiyue became anxious, "I want to work."

As soon as she finished her sentence, she burst into tears. "What should I do if I don't have a job? I may not be able to get into college even if I go to school. Even if I graduate from college, don't I still have to work?"

"This matter is easy to solve. I don't need to be involved." Shen Wenqing sighed in his heart, but still said patiently: "Just don't give it to her. Why do you need me to step in?"

No matter how many times he talked to his two daughters or how much ideological work he did, they were unwilling to go to school anymore.

Just recognize this job.

Shen Wenqing had no choice but to let them make their own decisions, but some things could not go as they wished.

"But my mother said that as long as you don't want money, I don't have to work." Shen Xiyue said tearfully, with a pleading look in her eyes.

Who knew that Shen Siyue would say, "Dad, Mom is sad, and we feel bad too. Can't you help Xiyue find another job?"

"What Su Yuting meant." Shen Wenqing looked at Siyue calmly, chuckled and said, "You don't want to pay back the money, but you want your job back, right?"

"..." Shen Siyue lowered her head again and refused to speak anymore.

"Since you don't want to say it, then go back." Shen Wenqing lost his patience, "Don't mention this matter again."

"Sister, please tell me quickly." Shen Xiyue hurriedly pulled her sister's arm, "Didn't mom tell you what to say?"

"I, I..." Shen Siyue's nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes when she heard Shen Wenqing let them go. Her sister urged her to leave, so she said with a determined heart: "Mom told you not to ask for money anymore, and to help Xiyue find another job. In the future...in the future, we can live in peace."

She knew her mother was wrong to do this, but she couldn't say these words out loud, thinking of her sister crying and begging.

Dad might be as soft-hearted as mom said.

Money and work issues will be resolved.

Who knew that after being ridiculed by her younger brother and her father was about to drive them away, Siyue couldn't help but cry.

Shen Wenqing was silent.

He knew it was like this, but...

Shen Wenqing looked at his two daughters and finally asked, "Mom is your mom, and Dad..." isn't he dad?

"Forget it." Shen Wenqing closed his eyes suddenly, not wanting to force the question. He already had the answer in his mind, "I'll just be the bad guy again."

"Tell Su Yuting not to play tricks anymore. My patience is limited." Shen Wenqing looked at Shen Siyue expressionlessly. "I am holding back my anger for the sake of my children. If she has such thoughts again, I will go to their workplace and her home in person."

"No one needs to save face anymore."

Shen Siyue trembled all over, looked at Shen Wenqing in disbelief, and asked with trembling lips: "Dad, you...how can you say that?"

Shen Xiyue was a little disappointed. She wiped her tears. She didn't expect that her father really didn't care.

"Dad." Shen Xiyue said sadly: "Mom always cries, and we feel bad too, otherwise we wouldn't come to see you."

...

Qi Yuan was busy cooking in the kitchen, but she couldn't help but be curious and pricked up her ears to listen to the noises in the living room.

Until he heard this, he couldn't help but complain: "I'm afraid my mother will be sad, but what about my father?"

It wasn't until he finished speaking that he reacted and gave Shen Lingyun a few awkward smiles.

Su Yuting was so dishonest that she instigated her daughters to come over, and her two daughters actually obeyed her.

They obey their mother who hurt them and come to their father who has always cared for them but was ignored by them, to seek benefits for their mother.

Then the green hat is worn in vain?

"The daughter is close to her mother." Shen Lingyun glanced at Qi Yuan, "There's nothing strange about that. After all, Dad doesn't spend much time with them, and now they are no different from strangers."

"You understand." Qi Yuan laughed a few times, but didn't dare to say too much.

"I understand." Shen Lingyun smiled slightly, "Let them be. Anyway, we won't have anything to do with each other in the future."

Qi Yuan's heart trembled: Are they going to sever their relationship?

He secretly glanced at Shen Lingyun a few times and saw that his expression did not change, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

He moved his lips a few times, not sure whether to comfort or comfort.

But Shen Lingyun wiped his hands and left the kitchen.

"You guys go." Shen Lingyun looked at Shen Siyue and her sister, "Tell Su Yuting that this matter must be handled according to what was agreed beforehand, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself."

"You don't have to come again." Shen Lingyun looked at Shen Wenqing again and asked calmly, "Is that okay?"

"You decide." Shen Wenqing sighed, stood up and left. "There is one thing I have never told you. The person who reported me is the man she was with."

"Did you hear that?" Shen Lingyun smiled and looked at the two sisters Shen Siyue. "You can go back and tell Su Yuting that you have given up, and ask her if she knows about this."

Shen Siyue and the others hurriedly stood up, looking at Shen Lingyun with a helpless look on their faces, his smile as warm as spring breeze.

No matter how you look at it, it's not directed at them.

"Let's go." Shen Lingyun said calmly, "It's true that you want your mother, but that's not a reason to hurt your father who has always helped you and cared about you."

"Since you don't want to recognize him as your father, don't even think about getting his care and help." Shen Lingyun said bluntly: "What you did made him sad, and I won't allow that."

"We didn't mean to." Shen Xiyue wanted to explain, but was stopped by Shen Siyue. She looked at Shen Lingyun timidly and said softly, "I'm sorry."

Shen Lingyun didn't say anything, he just stepped aside and told them his attitude with his actions.

Qi Yuan stood at the kitchen door, watching Shen Siyue and her sister leave, and looked at Shen Lingyun with some concern.

So indifferent, are you remembering the suffering you went through in the past?

"I'm fine." Shen Lingyun saw his worried look and smiled, "Don't worry."

"Yeah." Qi Yuan walked to Shen Lingyun and carefully observed his expression, "Don't think about the past."

"I forgot it a long time ago." Shen Lingyun said, "I only have the present and the future in my eyes."

As he spoke, he smiled and tapped Qi Yuan on the forehead, and said in a light tone: "And you."

Chapter 80

In the afternoon, Qi Yuan lay straight on the bed.

He kept his eyes on the door, wondering how the conversation between Shen Lingyun and his father went.

Unexpectedly, when the door was pushed open, her eyes met Shen Lingyun's.

Qi Yuan exerted force on his waist, sat up straight on the bed, and looked at Shen Lingyun in surprise.

"Why so fast?"

Qi Yuan looked at the time. It only took him about ten minutes to go out and look for Shen Wenqing.

"Has the discussion ended?"

"Go to sleep." Shen Lingyun patted his forehead, and Qi Yuan lay down on the bed.

He followed Shen Lingyun with his eyes until he saw him sitting at the desk preparing to read. He couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

"It's okay." Shen Lingyun said: "I am open-minded and can see clearly this little thing."

"Not sad?" Qi Yuan didn't believe it. If he had to beat someone up, "That's impossible."

"So what if I'm sad?" Shen Lingyun looked at Qi Yuan helplessly, "Can't you just stop caring so much? Have a good nap."

"I'm not thinking about you." Qi Yuan smiled and got up, leaning close to Shen Lingyun and whispered, "Can't sleep?"

Shen Lingyun didn't say anything, just looked at Qi Yuan quietly. He saw him smiling and blinking his big eyes at him.

There is joy inside that cannot be hidden.

"You just want to ask about that person, right?" Shen Lingyun avoided Qi Yuan's affectionate eyes and talked about what he cared about.

"It doesn't matter whether you know or not." Qi Yuan was curious, but he didn't have to know about things that had nothing to do with him. "I just can't get enough of you!"

He had an expression that reflected my helplessness.

Shen Lingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He finally reached out and pinched the tip of his nose. "Can't you just be quiet every day? How many times have I told you?"

"Hehe." Qi Yuan succeeded, narrowed his eyes and rubbed his cheek against Shen Lingyun's hand, "I just want to talk to you."

"Yes." Shen Lingyun put down the book in his hand and sat down beside Qi Yuan's bed. "Close your eyes and go to sleep. I will tell you about that man."

"Yeah." Qi Yuan lay down obediently, looking at Shen Lingyun who was looking at him tenderly, "Just talk, I'll go to sleep right away."

"That man was also reported." Shen Lingyun said, "After my father was sent down, he was also sent down, but he was unlucky and did not survive the reform."

"Dead?" Qi Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, "Really?"

Shen Lingyun nodded. How could Shen Wenqing not investigate the person who brought such humiliation to him?

The result was that not only did I find the person's information, but I also found out who the person who was reported was, which was like killing two birds with one stone.

The man went to the forest farm for reform, but he couldn't stand the hardship in less than two years and tried to escape but was caught.

In the end, he lost his life in a fight.

Qi Yuan pursed his lips: It's hard to say that the man's crime does not deserve the death penalty.

Because of his affairs and his reports, Shen Lingyun almost lost his life several times.

This man should be punished.

"Okay, go to sleep." Shen Lingyun patted Qi Yuan's shoulder, "Shen Siyue and the others won't come again. Dad said he won't visit them again. He is really sad."

"Fortunately, Xiaozhi and Xiaoyue are here." Qi Yuan said, "Uncle Shen will feel better with them around."

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun nodded. No one could help him with this. Shen Wenqing could only let it go slowly by himself. "Anything else you want to ask?"

"That..." Qi Yuan wanted to know a lot, but he didn't want to ask anymore. He closed his eyes and said, "I don't want to ask anymore."

Shen Lingyun smiled slightly, and seeing Qi Yuan lying obediently on the bed without moving, he couldn't bear to say a few more words to him.

"Do you remember that teacher Zhang?" Shen Lingyun said, "Because of corruption, bribery and taking advantage of his position to seek personal gain, he has been expelled from the party and dismissed from all positions, and has left Shen City."

"Goodbye." Qi Yuan said with his eyes closed, "Out of sight, out of mind."

Shen Lingyun didn't say anything else, but just looked at Qi Yuan quietly, seeing that he had his eyes closed.

But his eyes kept rolling around.

"You still want to ask Su Yuting, right?" Shen Lingyun smiled and said in a positive tone, "You want to know whether I will go to her and whether I still want the money."

"No, no, no." Qi Yuan hurriedly shook his head, not even daring to open his eyes, and denied: "Why would I ask her? What are you doing with nothing to do?"

He knew deeply that Su Yuting was a person who could not be talked to, especially in front of Shen Lingyun.

"I will ask for money." Shen Lingyun's faint smile gradually deepened, and he said in a relaxed tone: "They all deserve to be punished. This is already the lightest punishment."

"How can I be worthy of my father and myself otherwise?"

"Shen Lingyun." Qi Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and buried his head in Shen Lingyun's chest. "Let's not mention her anymore. I don't like it."

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun lowered his head and looked at Qi Yuan who was buried in his arms. He gently hugged him and patted his back with his hands. "She won't appear again in the future."

Ten days later, Shen Lingzhi quietly found Qi Yuan.

"Brother Xiaoyuan." Shen Lingzhi was a little embarrassed, "I have something to talk to you about."

For a thirteen-year-old boy, the world is black and white, and his emotions are pure and sincere.

He felt embarrassed to speak.

"What's wrong?" Qi Yuan looked up at him while doing his homework. "Have you finished your homework?"

"No." Shen Lingzhi knew Qi Yuan well, and didn't dare to delay any longer for fear that he would send him back to study. "I have something to tell you."

"You said something different after finishing your homework." Qi Yuan muttered, but still put down his pen and asked, "What's the matter? You're so shy."

Shen Lingzhi said nothing and took out a stack of money and gave it to Qi Yuan.

"Eh?" Qi Yuan took it and said, "Where did you get the money?"

He counted the money and found it was more than a thousand yuan.

"Return the money to Dad and Big Brother." Shen Lingzhi said with an embarrassed look: "Big Sister came to see me today and took me to Big Uncle's house."

It was Su Yuting who paid back the money. I'm afraid Shen Wenqing and Shen Lingyun would cause trouble for her if her current family knew about it.

Su Yuting no longer had a place to stay.

"Oh." Qi Yuan didn't say anything, but asked curiously: "Why did you give me the money? You should give it to your dad."

"I don't know what to say." Shen Lingzhi said uneasily: "He also asked me to tell Dad about my eldest brother."

"Shen Lingyun?" Qi Yuan suddenly felt something was wrong and asked cautiously, "What did you say?"

"She said she had given the money and had nothing to do with her anymore." Shen Lingzhi said, "You don't need to bother her anymore. Otherwise, it will be bad for everyone."

Su Yuting is not a pushover. Although she doesn't dare to ask for Shen Xiyue's job, she will give all the money they have to her.

She also forced several brothers and sisters to raise money for her, otherwise if her affairs were leaked, it would be bad for everyone.

Su Yuting did not pay a penny of the more than one thousand yuan owed. Everyone contributed the money together to keep the relationship quiet and avoid embarrassment.

She didn't want to come and send it off, and Shen Siyue and her sister didn't want to come even more, so they found Shen Lingzhi and asked him to take it back.

"I don't want to take it." Shen Lingzhi said, "But if they come over, I don't know what they will say, so I might as well bring it back."

"What about your eldest brother?" Qi Yuan didn't care about these, he just wanted to know what Su Yuting said about Shen Lingyun.

"She...she said..." Shen Lingzhi couldn't speak any more and lowered his head in embarrassment. "It's too ugly. I can't say it."

This is also why he came to find Qi Yuan.

"If my eldest brother and dad knew about this," Shen Lingzhi said, "they would definitely be sad."

"Speak." Qi Yuan was unhappy and said with a straight face, "You'll have to speak sooner or later, so speak now."

"Is it not possible for me to hide it?" Shen Lingzhi asked tentatively.

He was hoping for a lucky break, hoping Qi Yuan would not ask and promise to keep the matter a secret.

"It's too late." Qi Yuan snorted and looked at Shen Lingzhi sideways, "If you want to hide it, you should swallow it and bury it in your heart."

"Alas!" Shen Lingzhi sighed: "I'm afraid if I don't tell you, what if some rumors spread?"

After thinking about the consequences, Shen Lingzhi still said it.

Su Yuting said that Shen Lingyun was heartless and ungrateful, hated everyone in the family, and must have mental problems.

Tell Shen Wenqing to be careful.

Don't let him have a seizure one day and kill them all. It's best to send him away as soon as possible.

Stay away and never come back.

"That's it?" Qi Yuan sneered, "I thought it was something great. Just ask her to say it. Does she dare?"

That is to sow discord.

"I know she's talking nonsense." Shen Lingzhi lowered his head and said sadly, "But many people believe this. They don't believe that Big Brother has mental problems, but they believe that he hates all his relatives."

I will never dare to acknowledge my eldest brother again!

"That's great." Qi Yuan suddenly laughed when he heard this. "If you're afraid, stay away from me and don't see me again. I believe your brother will be happy."

"Ah?" Shen Lingzhi was dumbfounded. He was extremely worried, but Qi Yuan was extremely happy.

"Your eldest brother doesn't want to see them either." Seeing that he didn't understand, Qi Yuan smiled and said, "Seeing them will remind him of Su Yuting, and he will be unhappy."

"Okay." Qi Yuan stuffed the money into Shen Lingzhi's pocket. "Give the money to your dad and tell him that we should not have any contact in the future."

If it weren't for the brothers Shen Wenqing and Shen Lingzhi, Qi Yuan would not let in anyone who could remind Shen Lingyun of Su Yuting.

"But don't tell your eldest brother about this." Qi Yuan instructed: "Tell your father too."

"Hmm." Qi Yuan thought about it and said, "As for giving money, tell your dad to wait until your eldest brother finishes the college entrance examination."

Qi Yuan knew that Shen Lingyun was holding a grudge, but he had to consider others and let Su Yuting go.

"Yeah." Shen Lingzhi nodded, "I know, I won't tell anyone."

...

It is June soon, and today is the day of Shen Lingyun's college entrance examination.

"Hurry up." Qi Yuan pushed the cart out, "Don't be late."

"Here I am." Shen Lingyun came out and sat silently on the back seat of the bicycle, allowing Qi Yuan to take him to the examination room.

His examination venue happened to be No. 3 Middle School. When Qi Yuan heard this, he jumped up and said he would pick up and drop off Shen Lingyun no matter what.

We had originally planned to go with my classmates, but now we can only add Qi Yuan to the list.

"Hey, here." As soon as he arrived at the gate of the staff quarters, several people greeted Shen Lingyun.

"Who is it?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Classmates." Shen Lingyun said, "There are students from the family compound, and some of our classmates who live nearby and are taking the exam at No. 3 Middle School."

"There are also female classmates." Qi Yuan muttered, "I know quite a lot of them."

As he spoke, he had already come in front of several classmates and Qi Yuan stopped his bicycle with one foot on the ground.

"Let's go." Shen Lingyun said to the classmates who were waiting for him, "Let's go early to avoid the crowds on the road."

"Who is this?" A boy from the family compound who was on good terms with Shen Lingyun asked with a smile, "Why are you still asking someone to send you home?"

Before Shen Lingyun could say anything, Qi Yuan said, "Riding a bike is so tiring. You need to maintain your physical strength for the exam, and you also need to be full of energy to move forward bravely."

Shen Lingyun pushed his glasses on his nose awkwardly: Qi Yuan's Chinese is hopeless!

"That's right." Zhou Baoguo smiled and said, "It's a pity that no one in my family can send me off. I'm either at work or at school. Shen Lingyun, you're really lucky."

"Yes, yes, he is so blessed." Qi Yuan liked to hear this and agreed: "He doesn't have to worry about anything at home, just keep a good mood every day. I can buy him whatever he wants and let him spend the money as he wants."

"Let's go." Shen Lingyun urged, "There are more and more people on the road."

"Okay, let's go." Qi Yuan hurriedly rode his bike, but still talked to Zhou Baoguo.

"Look at what he wears and what he eats. It's no worse than others." Qi Yuan said, "I always carry money and tickets in my pocket, just in case he doesn't have the money to buy something he likes. I always prepare enough for him."

"Really?" Zhou Baoguo looked at Shen Lingyun in surprise and said to Qi Yuan, "His food and clothing are indeed much better than ours, but I've never seen him spend money. I thought his family didn't give him pocket money."

After all, Shen Lingyun brought too many things.

Popsicles, soda, various canned foods, and many snacks, all without spending any money.

"How could that be?" Qi Yuan looked puzzled and said in obvious disbelief, "I gave him 100 yuan right away, to prepare for his use when something happened, and I also gave him a lot of pocket money every month."

Shen Lingyun was speechless: He gave it to himself after Boss Chen persuaded him, but he told himself that it was just to save face and not to really spend it.

"So much?" Zhou Baoguo's face was full of envy. "If I had known your family was well off, I would have never thought you would be so generous with pocket money."

The few students who had been silent all the time looked at Shen Lingyun with envy and amazement.

They only get a few yuan in pocket money a month, and sometimes they have to ask the housekeeper for money.

They all secretly wondered: Do my parents usually carry so much money in their pockets?

"Watch the road and stop talking." Shen Lingyun reminded helplessly, "There are too many people."

"Oh, I know." Qi Yuan agreed, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Shen Lingyun must be shy.

At this time, there are many people working, and there are also many students taking exams.

The road was a bit crowded.

For safety reasons, Qi Yuan stopped talking distractedly, but Zhou Baoguo had no scruples.

"Shen Lingyun, is this your brother?" Zhou Baoguo asked, "He's very cute."

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun responded, looking at Qi Yuan's back, and added: "It's really cute."

"Your family is really rich!" Zhou Baoguo sighed: "My dad only has a few dozen yuan in his pocket at most. He is a salaried worker and is not as rich as you, a student."

"Yes, in our family too."

"My mom manages the money, but she doesn't usually bring so much."

"Who would carry so much money around for no reason? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Shen Lingyun had a blank expression: That's just for show and can't be spent.

But he couldn't say this, so he could only let his classmates sigh and envy him.

"We're here." Qi Yuan saw that many students were already standing at the door. The bicycles were parked a little further away from the door. He said to Shen Lingyun, "Let's wait here and go over when the door opens."

"Okay." Shen Lingyun got out of the car, "Don't wait here, go back first."

He rubbed Qi Yuan's hair and looked in the direction behind him. More and more candidates were coming here on the road.

"If you're a little later, the road will be blocked." Shen Lingyun said, "It will be difficult for you to go out."

"It's okay." Qi Yuan didn't want to leave, so he shook his head and said, "I'll wait until you go in, then I'll go back."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the two female classmates who came with him and saw that they were not looking at him and were talking to the people around them.

Qi Yuan moved closer to Shen Lingyun, covered her mouth and whispered in his ear: "They are not as pretty as me."

Shen Lingyun: "..."

His helpless look flashed by, but because his glasses were covering his eyes, Qi Yuan did not see it.

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun responded softly, and then thought about it and whispered: "Many people say that I am ugly. Maybe I would look better if I took off my glasses."

At this moment, Qi Yuan felt that he was very wise.

His eyebrows were curved, and he smiled like a little fox, looking cunningly at the people around him.

"Don't pick it." Qi Yuan said with a smile: "After the exam, I will give you a gift as a reward."
