Chapter 237 Can you say something good about me?
But there was no reaction at all; the figure holding the jar remained as steady as ever.
He walked to the door, heard what his mother said, and stopped: "Mother, I just wasn't paying attention for a moment. I promise I won't do it again next time."
"What did you say? You want it to happen again? Do you want to hit your sister again next time?"
"No, no, no, I misspoke. There won't be a next time, absolutely not a next time, I promise!"
Hearing their conversation, Lin Cai already knew who this man was; she had previously thought that her three older brothers all had rather rugged appearances.
Unexpectedly, only the second brother had a rugged appearance, while the eldest brother looked like a frail scholar.
However, his actions were completely different from those of a frail scholar.
Lin Cai kept her eyes on Lin Long. Even after he had walked out, she was still looking at the door. When Lin's mother saw this, she smiled.
"Cai Cai, haven't you seen your older brother in a long time? Now that you see him, do you not recognize him?"
Lin Cai nodded obediently when she heard the question, and then asked, "Mother, has my eldest brother always been like this since he was little?"
"Well, your older brother, he really had a hard time when he was young. After he finally recovered a little, he followed us around, running away from home and fleeing..."
At that time, Lin Long had only recently recovered from his illness. After going through a difficult period, his health became inconsistent.
Originally, it was thought that Lin Long was probably beyond saving, but for some reason, during the days of fleeing famine, his small body gradually became stronger.
Almost all of the previous ailments had disappeared. Occasionally, there would be minor problems, but they would recover quickly. As a result, they later discovered that the child's health had improved significantly compared to when they had been taking good care of him.
"...Back then, I even told your father that the eldest son was destined to suffer, otherwise how could he have managed to build up his physique during such difficult times!"
Hearing these words, Lin Cai knew what was going on. Her eldest brother's health was a disease of affluence; eating too much good food made him worse and worse.
On the contrary, he endured a period of hardship while fleeing famine, which allowed him to rebuild his physical strength and gradually recover.
As the mother and daughter were talking, Lin Long, who had already set down the jar, came in from outside. He looked at Lin Cai, seemingly not recognizing her either, just like Lin Cai.
Lin Cai stood there and let him look at her. After a while, Lin Long turned around and went back to his room.
I saw him go in and then come out again, but when he came out, he had a box in his hand.
"Mumu, open it and see if you like it."
Hearing this address, Lin Cai was slightly taken aback. She looked at Lin Long and asked, "Why do you call me Mu Mu?"
"Shuangmu Forest, gather wood, so much wood, what else should we call it if not 'wood'?"
As Lin Long's voice rang out, Lin Cai seemed to hear another childish voice, saying the exact same thing as Lin Long.
"Shuangmu Forest, picking wood, it's all wood, shouldn't it be called Mumu? Mumu sounds so nice, I'll call myself Mumu."
The owner of the voice almost cried over a simple form of address.
Lin Long held the box in his hand and noticed that his younger sister was looking at him without taking the box, so he assumed that his sister didn't like it.
Then he said, "Mumu, I came back in a hurry this time, so I didn't have time to pick out anything. Take a look and see if you like it. If you don't like it, I'll go pick out something nice for you another day."
Upon hearing this, Lin Cai took the box, opened it, and said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, why are you still going to do that?"
"If your parents find out, you'll get scolded again."
With things so chaotic outside, with knives and guns raging everywhere, she didn't want her family to go out and risk their lives.
"It's alright, it's alright. I believe that with Mumu here, Mumu will definitely protect Big Brother. Isn't Big Brother right?"
Lin Long is very handsome and speaks in a gentle voice, which is completely different from his usual way of speaking. If Atai were here right now, he would probably grab Lin Long by the collar and ask him who he is.
The box was opened, revealing hairpins, bracelets, and earrings. Seeing the box full of gold and silver jewelry, Lin Cai looked up at Lin Long.
She didn't say anything, but then she heard the other person say, "Don't worry, Mumu, these were all saved up by your older brother. He saved up money to buy them himself. They definitely weren't obtained through any irregular channels."
Hearing this and seeing the nervous look on Lin Long's face, Lin Cai laughed. Her eyes crinkled into crescents, and she looked really beautiful when she smiled, at least that's what Lin Long thought.
"Big brother, I just wanted to tell you that there are too many of these things. I can't possibly wear them all. You should save some for my future sister-in-law."
"What nonsense are you talking about? What future sister-in-law? You don't have a future sister-in-law. These things are all from me, so just keep them."
"If you don't like something, put it away and save it for later to exchange for money. Do you understand?"
He was afraid that his sister was foolish and would give these things away. You know, these are all good things, and any one of them could be worth a fortune.
Completely unaware of the box's value, Lin Cai obediently nodded and put it away.
Lin Hu, who didn't know how long he had been back, was leaning against the door frame, his arms crossed, his teeth aching.
How come he never knew before how shameless their eldest son could be?
He even went out and gathered so many good things to make his sister happy, and damn it, the worst part is that he didn't tell this damn dragon about it.
He secretly collected good things for his sister and gave them to her, but he knew nothing about it and had nothing but some silver notes.
Lin Hu was furious. After watching for a while, he couldn't take it anymore and stormed back to his room, only to come out again soon after.
He took a stack of papers and came to Lin Cai: "Here, this is a gift from your second brother. It's more practical than his."
As Lin Hu said this, he glanced at the box.
Lin Cai was a little stunned when she saw the stack of papers in front of her. Her second brother was right; this stack of papers was indeed quite a bargain.
A thick stack of silver notes, fifty, one hundred, five hundred, one thousand, was certainly a great deal.
Any one of these cards could last a long time.
Lin Long saw it too, then stared at Lin Hu and asked, "Second brother, did you go rob a bank?"
"What the hell am I doing robbing you?! Can't you say something nice about me?"
"If I give you silver notes, that's robbing a money exchange. If you send me a whole box of jewelry, are you robbing a jewelry store too?"
At this moment, Lin Hu was like a firecracker, ready to explode at the slightest touch.
