Chapter 40: An Indifferent Town Trip

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Yun Lin's words deeply touched Yun Jing.

He may not quite understand the principles of "being debt-free and light-hearted" and "standing upright only when you act righteously", but he used his actions to prove that he has been doing things this way throughout his life.

When Yunjing fell ill and owed money to the town hospital, his family immediately sold grain to pay off the debt after the autumn harvest, which is enough to illustrate this point.

There is actually no conflict between whether you understand the principle and how to do it.

Indeed, he was born humble. When facing rich people, officials, and scholars, he would unconsciously bend down, feel inferior, and feel inferior.

But the outside is not the same as the inside. He walks and sits upright, but his inner waist is always upright!

Then Yunjing was thinking, what kind of person will he become in the future?

He doesn't know, after all, who can tell clearly what will happen in the future.

But no matter what, one thing Yunjing can make clear is that no matter who you become or what you do in the future, you must at least do it with a clear conscience.

I feel no shame, these words are so easy to say, but they are actually very difficult.

But no matter how difficult it was, Yunjing told himself that in the future, he must follow those four words in life and work, without any reason or external factors, just to make himself "clear"...

After leaving the restaurant and coming to the door, Yun Lin held Yun Jing in his arms and stopped for a short time.

He looked back at the restaurant and sighed: "I met a good person. There are always more good people than bad people in this world."

After saying that, he turned around and left, hugging Yun Jing tightly, but his eyes were quietly looking around, nervous and apprehensive. With a huge sum of money, it seemed that everyone would be malicious towards him.

More than forty taels of money was a huge wealth that Yunlin had never dared to imagine in the past. Now that he had it in his arms, the huge psychological impact was not something that Yunlin, a farmer who had been poor all his life, could accept instantly.

Yunjing understands his grandfather's current state of mind, but he is always guarding against thieves. Everyone can probably tell that something is wrong with him. This may arouse the curiosity of others and cause unnecessary trouble.

trouble.

So in order to distract him, Yunjing said: "Grandpa, when are we going home?"

"Yes, go home. Let's go to your father's place and then go home later." Yun Lin lowered his head and smiled.

He thought Yunjing was homesick, and then a subconscious told him that such a large amount of wealth could only be truly safe if he returned home and hid it.

Smiling, Yunjing added: "The porridge I just ate was really delicious."

"It's delicious. How about grandpa bringing you here to eat again if you have a chance in the future?" Yun Lin touched Yun Jing's head and said, as for his so-called 'opportunity', God knows when.

Then Yunlin felt a little distressed. A bowl of porridge cost three copper coins, which was enough to buy three kilograms of coarse grains. It was so expensive, but it was more cost-effective to eat dry grains. As expected, the restaurants in the town were not affordable to poor people like him. No wonder the most popular in the village

The wealthy Dajun family opened a restaurant in the town last year and just said it once to anyone they met and played it for him...

Seeing that some of Grandpa's attention had been diverted, Yunjing smiled sincerely and said, "Okay, okay."

Then Yunlin said: "With the same rice and eggs, why can't your mother make it taste like that? Tsk... maybe this is the reason why they sell it more expensively?"

Yun Jingxin said that was not possible, otherwise how could he open a restaurant? How could he do it without two brushes?

After walking through the streets and alleys, Yun Lin and his grandson returned to the dirty street before.

Yunshan was still standing behind the stall, watching the passers-by eagerly. There were still as many bamboo woven products in front of him as when Yunjing and the others left, and he couldn't sell them at first sight.

Zhang Changgui was no longer there, probably going home.

When he came here, Yun Lin immediately said to Yun Shan: "Xiao Shan, pack up and go home."

"Ah? Dad, are you back? Why don't you go home so early? Why don't you sell it for a while? If you sell one more, you can make more money." Feeling the heavy copper coins in his chest, Yunshan was a little reluctant to leave.

Yun Lin was actually reluctant to go back so early, but with dozens of taels of silver in his arms, he was really worried, so he urged: "They are almost sold, and there is no shortage of these few, let's go, let's go"

Come on, go back early, maybe you can go do some work in the fields."

"That's okay," Yun Lin insisted again and again, and Yun Shan had no choice but to follow his wishes.

There were not many things, and they were all small items. Yunshan strung them together with a strip of bamboo, then tied one end of the pole and put it on his shoulder to finish the job. As for Yunjing, there was no basket to sit on, so Yunlin hugged him

, he had money in his arms, and Yun Lin was holding the money in his arms for safekeeping in disguise.

Looking at the bustling streets, the people on the road, the dirty ground, and the low houses, Yun Jingxin said that his first trip to the town was over.

Nothing exciting, nothing special, nothing worth remembering. If I hadn’t secretly helped Grandpa and the others to sell the things they brought, and also sold maltose by the way because I was hungry, I might as well not have come this time.

Woolen cloth.

Soon after, the three of them, grandfather and grandson, arrived at the archway at the entrance of the town. They had agreed with other villagers to gather here and go back together.

The road back is dozens of miles long and not safe. We all have a companion and can take care of each other.

Yunjing and the others were not the first ones to arrive, there were already several villagers waiting there, and Yun Xiaofu was one of them. He came to the town to sell grain, which was obviously easy to sell. After all, it was a one-stop business.

At this moment, he was chatting with the villagers while holding a bamboo cage in his arms. There were about ten chickens in the bamboo cage, which would lay eggs for his wife when they grow up.

"Uncle Lin, you guys are here. It's so early. I thought you would have to wait until the afternoon to come." Yun Xiaofu greeted Yun Lin and the others immediately after seeing them.

Yunshan said with a bit of a stern tone: "I'm lucky today and the things are easy to sell, so I'm thinking of going back early."

He sold it for a lot of money, he didn't know how much, but it didn't stop him from showing off in a low-key manner. Rural people didn't have much fun, so being a little envied was a worthwhile thing for both body and mind.

He still doesn't know how much the maltose has been sold for. If he knew, he would definitely be more low-key than Yun Lin, who was silent next to him. He could make a small amount of money, but as for big money, if he spoke out, he would be a fool, and he might even cause disaster.

"So that's it, hey, so many of your items are sold out," Yun Xiaofu said in surprise.

Yunshan continued to grin and said: "It's not sold out, it's not sold out. Look, I don't have a few pieces left."

As he spoke, he also weighed the pole.

Yunjing couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry. He really didn't understand what his father was so embarrassed about. He was so embarrassed that he almost got cancer.

Next, they chatted and waited for other villagers. As time passed, villagers came here one after another.

However, before the villagers could all wait, a sudden scream from the other side of the town attracted their attention.

"Killing...!"

"Catch him, don't let him escape..."

"Thieves, please leave!"

"Spread out, everyone spread out, don't block the way, so as not to accidentally hurt..."

"You can't run away!"

"Wang Putou is arresting the evil bandits, and everyone else should get out of the way!"

There was a lot of commotion there. Yun Lin and others who were attracted by it subconsciously looked at it, but showed no intention to watch the excitement. A group of villagers immediately left the road and ran to the side of the road. It was very embarrassing.

Run as far as you can...
