Chapter 274 - Boring (2/2)

If things went on like this, the Lin family would earn themselves a decent life by more years of hard work. Lin Luoran used to get angry every time she thinks about this, but she has been over this now.

“Yes. I remember that the villagers took the orange orchid back from us.” The Lin family was never accepted by the Li’s village. It is natural that the other villagers were jealous that the Lin family earned a profit. But they should not take away the orchid from the Lin family when the family had built a wall around the orange orchid and fertilize and sprayed insecticide on the soil. Therefore, the Lins never got the chance to invest all the money they made from the orange orchid back.

Without the orchid, the Lin family owed a debt, which was a bigger blow to Mr. Lin’s enthusiasm about starting his own business. Lin Luoran remembers seeing her father weeping secretly. The life in Li’s village made Mr. and Mrs. Lin, as well as Lin Luoran, silent and weak.

Why did Mrs. Lin bring this up today?

“Mom, why are you telling me this?”

Mrs. Lin replies emotionally, “I remember that because of the orange orchid, we didn’t have the money to prepare for the Spring Festival… Your Aunty Li was the only one who offered us help… She gave us two pieces of pork…”

Lin Luoran keeps cutting off the branches. She knows that her mom is talkative and she will tell her real intentions without anyone pursuing.

Seeing that Lin Luoran is calm but not talking, Mrs. Lin says carefully, “I guess you must need some help with the pharmaceutical factory. The son of your Aunty Li is out of work for two years after he finishes high school. Can you…”

Oh, this is what Mrs. Lin is thinking about. This is so strange. Aunty Li was the only one who was friendly to Lins. Mrs. Lin should know Lin Luoran well that she would not hesitate about offering a job to Aunty Li’s son. Why is Mrs. Lin so bashful?

Lin Luoran nows knows what this is all about. She takes a fat worm off a branch and says, raising her eyebrows, “Is there anyone else who wants a job?”

Mrs. Lin nods. Lin Luoran has a headache. Hey! She is generous and she never wants revenge. But she is not a saint!

“We can have Aunty Li’s son here for dinner. Tell him to ask Yuan Ye for the job.”

Mrs. Lin is in a dilemma. Aunty Li said that the village head was angry that Lin Luoran has never done anything to help the village after she got rich. Should she tell her? Mrs. Lin accidentally cuts off a nice branch and she is distressed.

Lin Luoran is speechless. She asks her mother about what has happened exactly. Then she finds out that her mother is bothered by these minor things. Lin feels sorry.

She thought that her family has reached a consensus that they shall just live their lives and cultivate together. It turns out that her mother still worries about Li’s village.

“Mom, we can tell Aunty Li that we’ll give her our old house in the village. We never belong to that village and we may never go back there. You shouldn’t worry about that village ever again.”

Mrs. Lin hesitates, “It is ok…? What if bad things happen to us and we won’t have a place to stay.”

Lin Luoran laughs. Does her father never tell her mother how rich the family is?

Lin Luoran points at the house and says, “I bought this house five years ago from Master Jia. It cost me 20 million yuan.” She is telling her mother that the house is more valuable now.

Mrs. Lin is surprised and speechless. She is aware that houses in R City are expensive, but she can’t accept that the house is worthy of 20 million yuan. The market is experiencing the inflating of currency, which means that the price of the house must have doubled.

Lin Luoran keeps saying, “Our villa on Mount Qingcheng is a gift from the others. The price is this.” Lin Luoran raises her hand.

50 million?

Mrs. Lin knows that her daughter is rich after becoming a cultivator, but no one ever tells her that their houses are so expensive! Mrs. Lin suddenly feels that she is an irresponsible mom and becomes sullen.

Lin Luoran holds her mom’s hand and comforts her, “Mom, we’ll do better. We’ll never have to care about what others think. Believe me!”

She will work hard on her cultivation to protect her family.

She is going to “water” the medicines in the base after lunch… Lin Luoran sees that the branches are perfectly trimmed and she drags her mom to the kitchen and prepares for lunch.

Lin Luoran now wants to stamp her feet like Li Xi’er does. Li Xi’er is really living a leisure life and Lin herself is always busy!
