Chapter 100: They Can't Get a Meal, So They Must Not Work Hard

Seeing Shi Lin add and add, adding quite a lot, Qiao Sheng stared at him and said, "Shi Lin, do you think money is omnipotent? That anyone can be bought with money?"

That's exactly what he thought.

Listening to her words.

Shi Lin didn't dare say that; he thought that if he said it, Qiao Sheng would probably get up and chase him out of the Mountain God Temple with a broom.

He thought for a moment.

Shi Lin looked at Qiao Sheng and began to speak.

"Qiao Sheng, I don't mean that; I just want you to know my sincerity."

"To be frank, my nephew is truly a headache‑inducing child; because of him my older brother and the others got so angry they fell ill. It's not that they never tried to manage him; even when they did, he remained the same."

"He's actually quite clever, but he refuses discipline, which has made my older brother and the others no longer want to deal with him."

"If they don't take responsibility, I, as his uncle, can't just ignore him either. If I also ignore him, wouldn't he be ruined? I've been busy lately, so after thinking it over I thought of Grandfather Feng and you."

"Perhaps together you can change him."

Without waiting for Qiao Sheng to say anything.

Shi Lin continued, "Qiao Sheng, I don't care how long you manage him; you can manage him as long as you can, say how long you want to, and if you don't want to manage him any more, just tell me."

A few dozen taels of silver a month is not a small amount.

Her shop couldn't earn that much in a month.

Moreover.

Shi Jin is now in the same private school as Xiao Shitou.

If he continues like this, it will also affect him.

He thought of this.

Qiao Sheng lifted his eyes and said, "I'll give it a try; if it doesn't work, you lead the person away."

"Alright!"

Shi Lin immediately poured a glass of wine for Qiao Sheng, and after that poured himself a glass as well.

The pouring was done.

Shi Lin lifted the wine before him and said, "Qiao Sheng, this glass is to you, thank you for your help."

Qiao Sheng said nothing, but she drank the wine he toasted.

Shi Lin early the next morning sought out Feng Qingyang and told him about this.

Upon learning that he knew Qiao Sheng, Feng Qingyang opened his mouth and asked, "Shi Lin, you and Qiao girl, you…"

"She saved me before."

Shi Lin did not hide anything from Feng Qingyang.

Feng Qingyang stared at Shi Lin for a while, confirming he wasn't lying, and said, "That's also fine; then we'll do as you said."

Afternoon, after school.

Shi Lin arrived at the private school much later than Qiao Sheng; when he came, the other children had already gone home.

At that moment Shi Jin was practicing horse stance in the courtyard when he suddenly saw his own San Shu walking over; he ran over excitedly, "San Shu, are you here to fetch me?"

"Yes!"

Shi Lin nodded.

He said nothing for the time being, and took Shi Jin away from there to a restaurant for a meal.

Shi Jin said while eating, "San Shu, I will never eat at the private school again; the food there is terrible, and we have to eat everything, we can't skip meals."

"Shi Jin, do you know that some people can't even get a meal?"

Shi Lin spoke up.

Shi Jin replied dismissively, "San Shu, what are you joking about? How could anyone not get a meal? If they can't eat, it must be because they don't work hard enough."

Shi Lin: "…"

He no longer believed any of what he said, yet he still said that!

After the meal.

Shi Jin, as before, ate half the rice and left half, and only ate the meat, not the vegetables.

Shi Lin didn't hesitate; he settled the bill, lifted Shi Jin onto the carriage, and had An San drive the carriage toward Qiaojia Cun.

"Qiaojia Cun, San Shu, why are we going to Qiaojia Cun?"

Shi Jin wore a puzzled expression.

Shi Lin replied, "You'll know when we get there."
