Chapter 141 Don’t want to leave
She had never seen what the padded jacket actually looked like, but when her son said it was a good thing, she believed him.
Her son has been used to good things since he was a child, so if he says something is good, then it must be.
However, she did not expect that the jacket, which she thought was destined to belong to their family, actually had a name embroidered on the inside of the sleeve.
When the Master saw the name, what was there to misunderstand? Wasn't Gu Changliu's previous name Sanhu?
He had heard the dean mention this before, and he had even heard the dean call him by name. Besides the two characters on the sleeve, there was also a small tiger head next to it. Wasn't that the best proof?
Zhou Wenxuan lied to the teacher, slandered his classmates, and tried to take their belongings for himself. Such behavior was extremely bad. The academy is a place to teach students to be upright and honest.
Zhou Wenxuan's behavior violated the teachings of Confucius. Considering it was his first offense, he was punished by copying the Three Character Classic twenty times as a warning to others.
The liar was punished, Sanhu got his coat back, and after they all left, Lin Cai took out all the things she had brought.
"Since you're all alone at the academy, we didn't know what you needed, so your sister-in-law and I prepared some things for you..."
Lin Cai took everything out of her bundle: clothes, pants, shoes, and a hat. In addition to these, she also brought a lot of pastries.
Some of the pastries were ones that Sanhu had tried, and some he hadn't. Since it's winter now, these pastries could be kept in the cupboard for two or three days if they weren't eaten.
"If you really can't finish it, just share it with your classmates and friends. If you want some more, just send someone back with a message, and I'll have your older brother send you some..."
Before Lin Cai could finish speaking, the little guy rushed over and hugged her like a cannonball.
Feeling the tight band around her waist, Lin Cai patted the little guy's back: "What are you doing? You're already moved by this?"
"If you're really moved, then study hard and become a high-ranking official someday, how about that?"
The little head in his arms nodded heavily: "Okay, I will definitely study hard, become a very high-ranking official, and bring you to live with me..."
Lin Cai gently rubbed the little head in her arms: "Okay, I'll wait for you to pick me up so I can enjoy life."
With the matter of Sanhu resolved, Lin Cai returned to the Flower Street where Lin Hu lived.
She only found out last night that this place was called Flower Street Alley. Judging from the name, she thought it was some kind of brothel.
As soon as he got back, Lin Bao immediately came up to him: "How is everything resolved?"
Lin Cai glanced at him: "Is there another pastry shop in this town?"
Lin Bao paused for a moment, then scratched his head: "Yes, little sister, why are you asking this?"
"Their son is quite capable, so I wanted to learn more about him."
Hearing this, Lin Bao felt that this matter was definitely not that simple. He looked at Lin Cai and said, "Tell me what you want to know, and I'll help you find out."
Knowing that he could do it, Lin Cai told him directly, and Lin Bao slapped his thigh after hearing it.
"Damn it, how could that kid be so shameless?"
He tried to take other people's things for himself and then turned around and accused them. He couldn't even do something so shameless. How could a child do such a thing?
Lin Bao immediately assured her, "Don't worry, little sister, I'll definitely find out the details for you..."
He even found out how old the boy was when he wet the bed.
The matter concerning Sanhu had been resolved, and that afternoon they rode in an oxcart back to their hometown village.
Lin Bao took advantage of the morning to go out and learn about Zhou Wenxuan's family. He was shocked by what he found out.
It turns out that the whole family was no good.
The parents were ruthless and cunning, while the son formed cliques and bullied others. In short, their family had done a lot of bad things.
However, their business wasn't doing well, and the neighbors all said that their food was hard to eat, and some dishes were even inedible.
It's not that the pastry chefs are bad, but rather that the things they sell are either moldy or infested with worms.
And whenever this happens, the shopkeeper, Mr. Zhou, will have his waiter clean all the hair and insects off the pastries before reselling them.
Hearing this, Lin Cai frowned: "Has no one had any problems with it?"
"Yes, of course there is, how could there not be?" Lin Bao lashed the ox with his whip, making it walk faster.
Then he answered his younger sister's question: "The situation you described does exist, but for some reason, it always ends up being left unresolved."
In such cases, it usually means either someone has connections at higher levels or that there is violent suppression. Both siblings felt it was the first possibility.
By the time the two returned to Gu Family Village, it was almost dark. Gu Dachui and the others had prepared dinner, but they hadn't eaten yet.
Knowing that Lin Cai and the others would be back that night, Gu Dachui and his wife, along with Ershi and Daoba, had been waiting for them.
Seeing that they were all in the yard, Lin Bao whistled. Gu Dachui came up to Lin Cai and before he could speak, he heard, "He's fine. Everything has been resolved."
Hearing this, Gu Dachui finally felt relieved and said, "It's so late, you must be hungry. The food is all cooked and we're just waiting for you."
……
When Lin Cai said she wanted to build a house, the whole family had no objections. Scarface spent two days finding all the craftsmen.
He returned the blueprints to Lin Cai: "They said there was only one blueprint, and it's not complete at all. They'll come over to repair the house, and we're hoping to show them the complete blueprints."
Lin Cai took the blueprint, folded it neatly, and held it in her hand: "As long as they come, they can look at it as many times as they want."
Scarface raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. He had given his assurance when he spoke with the other party, and now that he heard this, he felt relieved.
As he was getting ready to go back to sleep, he suddenly stopped: "Was everything you said before true?"
"Is there really a share for me?"
Having lived here for so long, he didn't want to leave. Where could he find a more comfortable life than this, filled with fighting and risking his life?
In this place, he can eat and sleep whenever he wants, without worrying about someone stabbing him while he's asleep, or about someone adding something to his food.
He likes it here and doesn't want to leave!
Lin Cai glanced at him: "You'll see when the time comes."
Scarface agreed, saying that whether or not it exists, they would know once the house was built.
Building a house is a big deal, and after the people of Gujia Village found out, their attitude towards the Gu family completely changed.
Just a few months ago, the Gu family was struggling to make ends meet and barely had enough to eat. Now, in just a few short months, they're building a new house.
