Chapter 196 Shameless
This is one of the reasons why he and his brother were able to keep the news a secret.
On the other side, Scarface thought about what Lin Cai had said, and then found Lin Cai and told her his thoughts.
After hearing what he said, Lin Cai did not object, but asked, "Have you thought it through? Have you chosen a location?"
Scarface nodded, then shook his head: "I've thought it through, but I haven't chosen a spot yet. Could you help me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Cai rolled her eyes at him: "You're the one who has to choose a place to build a house, and you're the one who has to live with someone. Why should I choose for you?"
She only needs to take care of her own family; how can she possibly manage so many other things? Doesn't he know how to do things himself?
Scarface was undecided. He actually had his eye on the land next to the Gu family's house, but he was afraid that Lin Cai wouldn't agree.
Lin Cai didn't say anything after hearing his idea, but told him, "If you want that land, you have to go to the village chief. I can't make that decision."
Scarface nodded upon hearing this, turned around and went out. When he returned, it was almost dark outside.
He told Lin Cai, "I've made up my mind about the land, but I need to go to town first. Is there anything you need me to bring you?"
Lin Cai didn't answer him, but looked at the sky outside. Then she heard Xiao Chunhua ask the question on her behalf.
"Uncle Scarface, it's already dark outside. Do you still want to go out?"
"Yeah, it's already dark, the roads must be difficult to navigate. Why don't you go tomorrow?"
The speaker was Ershi. After the brother and sister finished speaking, they heard Scarface say, "No need, we have to go now."
Now is the perfect time to go; it's convenient to do whatever you want, and you won't easily be noticed.
He didn't say this aloud, only that it would be better for him to go back secretly given his current status.
Upon hearing this explanation, the brother and sister nodded in understanding; nighttime was indeed a suitable time for clandestine activities.
Upon hearing this, Sanhu raised his head and glanced at his second brother and younger sister.
He shook his head, then looked at Scarface and asked, "Uncle Scarface, could you go check on my teacher for me?"
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table turned to look at Sanhu, probably not expecting him to have such a thought.
Scarface nodded after hearing this, but he didn't make a promise. Instead, he told Sanhu, "If there's still time, I'll go for you."
The little guy said thank you and then went back to eating.
That night, Scarface left, Gu Zhan was not home either, and even Lin Bao, who was usually too cold to go out, was not in bed.
He stood at the alley entrance, looking at the shivering monkey: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
He was gone for more than half a month without any news. If it weren't for that day when he heard something, remembered it, and asked again, he would probably still be in the dark.
"Oh dear, Third Master, there's no car at all. Second Master just went on a long trip and will be back soon."
"Is he just going on a long trip? Will he be back soon? Then tell me what kind of long trip it is that will last for half a month?"
"Just how big is Lin Hu's business that he can't finish? He's gone for half a month at a time, and he can't let his family know."
"If I hadn't come, if you hadn't let it slip, if I hadn't pressed you for answers, would you have kept this a secret forever?"
Lin Bao raised his voice as he spoke, because he was angry.
If you say you want to go out, then go out!
But why are you hiding this from me?
He left for more than half a month without telling his family. Isn't that because they were genuinely worried about him?
Besides, the New Year is just around the corner. If those two don't come back, won't the two elderly people and the young child at home get suspicious?
Lin Bao bombarded the monkey with a barrage of questions, leaving it overwhelmed.
But he really didn't know where his boss went. If he had known, he would have told him already!
"No, no, that's definitely not the case. The boss said he'll be back soon, so he will definitely be back soon."
"Ha, no wonder he raised you, you trust him so much, but he doesn't seem to trust you at all!"
"Otherwise, how come you don't even know where he went?"
Lin Bao said this on purpose, keeping his eyes fixed on the monkey as he spoke. As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of him blurted out.
"Who says the boss doesn't trust me? He trusts me the most. Wherever he goes, I'm always the first one there..."
At this point, the monkey couldn't finish his sentence. He chuckled awkwardly at Lin Bao, "Heh, Third Master, that... I was just saying..."
“I heard everything you just said. Finish what you said. I want to hear what number you are each time.”
"Third Master!"
"Speak quickly, otherwise calling me Third Grandfather won't help."
"I'm always the last one to find out..."
"Monkey, do you believe I'll beat you into a monkey?"
Lin Bao was truly angry; you could tell from his voice that he was already in a state of agitation.
The monkey was startled and tried to argue, but Lin Bao didn't give him a chance.
He had no other choice, so he knelt down with a thud and grabbed Lin Bao's trouser leg.
"Third Master, my good Third Master, please have mercy on me! I really don't know where the Boss went. Even if you beat me to death, I still won't know!"
The monkey grabbed Lin Bao's trouser leg, crying and howling, and the sound was really loud.
Hearing the noise, people in the alley all poked their heads out, probably wanting to see which young man was crying so pitifully.
The moment Lin Bao heard the sound, he felt completely terrified, as he felt countless eyes falling on him.
He stomped his foot angrily: "Let go."
But the monkey clinging to his leg was shameless; it not only didn't let go but hugged him even tighter.
"No, I won't let go, I don't want to get hit, I won't let go..."
Lin Bao: "..." Where on earth did Lin Hu go to find this kid?
How can he be so shameless? He keeps grabbing people's legs and crying in their arms. How can a grown man be so shameless?
"Wang Xiaohou, have you no shame? Let go of me right now!"
Wang Xiaohou is the real name of a monkey. He got this name when he was a child because he was naughty. Later, when he grew up, everyone called him Monkey, and no one called him Wang Xiaohou anymore.
"Third Master, I'm just a nobody, the kind of person you wouldn't even notice in a crowd. What's the point of having any shame for someone like me!"
Besides, you can't eat your face, so what does he need it for?
