Chapter 1867 - 335:

Li Sanjiang got up, making a "hoo~~~" sound in his throat as if clearing it, before heading to the terrace to spit.

Tan Wenbin: "Mr. Li, I feel with my current situation, I can find someone better. No point in sticking with one tree."

"Pah!"

Li Sanjiang was infuriated by these words, spun around, and raised his hand to hit Tan Wenbin.

"You brat, you're turning the world upside down! If you dare to be a Chen Shimei, I'll be the first to execute you!"

This was a real beating and a real spit; Tan Wenbin could only cover his head and endure everything passively.

Lin Shuyou quickly set down his breakfast, preparing to leave.

"You Hou, don't go, stay here and listen!"

"Oh…"

After hitting Tan Wenbin, Li Sanjiang was also exhausted, sat back down, and earnestly advised:

"In life, we ought to act with conscience…"

Downstairs in the yard.

The water column beside Uncle Qin went back into the well; his gaze sharp, as he stretched, joints crackling.

Just then, he seemed to realize something, quickly turned around and looked behind him — Li Sanjiang's spot was empty.

Liu Yumei had half a bowl of wonton, now stirring a small bowl of white fungus soup.

"You looked serene; meanwhile, the two of them are still receiving ideological education up there to cover for you."

Uncle Qin scratched his head, embarrassedly said:

"I'm not Xiao Yuan, can't even control a moment of enlightenment."

Whether Xiao Yuan could control enlightenment, Uncle Qin didn't know.

But he'd figured out a pattern now, praising Xiao Yuan in front of the old lady would make her happy.

Sure enough, the old lady smiled.

"You're not bad either."

After a bite of the white fungus soup, Liu Yumei added:

"We should compare with others."

Li Sanjiang's mouth was dry from the lecturing; finally, after Tan Wenbin patted his chest promising he would never abandon commitments, and Lin Shuyou guaranteed he would take this as a lesson, Li Sanjiang halted the morning's teachings.

Meanwhile, Alii came down alone to have breakfast.

Yet, she didn't bring breakfast upstairs for Xiao Yuan anymore.

Because recently, Li Zhiyuan was waking later and later each day.

Initially, he'd sleep past breakfast time to make up sleep, then gradually kept pushing it back, eventually waking around noon, skipping breakfast and straight to lunch, continuing to delay.

Alii had shifted from initially bringing breakfast, to bringing lunch… today, according to the routine, she needn't bring lunch either, he could wake up directly for dinner.

The boy had a consistent schedule but was gradually turning night into day, showing how stressed he'd been recently.

Tan Wenbin: "Mr. Li, I am going to find Yunyun!"

Li Sanjiang: "Off you go!"

Lin Shuyou: "I'm going too."

Li Sanjiang: "What for?"

Lin Shuyou: "Chen Lin is also at Zhou Yunyun's house."

Li Sanjiang: "Oh, bring them back for dinner tonight, I'll have Ting Hou prepare the dishes."

It's summer vacation now. Zhou Yunyun is at home, and Chen Lin is basically staying over at Zhou Yunyun's place.

Lin Shuyou took out gift bags he brought back last time from his hometown.

Since Tan Wenbin talked with his grandfather about finding a partner, the Lin Family Temple was very attentive.

Not only did they prepare many gifts for Lin Shuyou, they also gave him a bankbook.

Tan Wenbin glanced at the numbers on the bankbook, laughed and said, "Ha, quite a sum of money."

Lin Shuyou: "Last time, I wrecked Chen Lin's car, it's just right to compensate her for the car this time."

Tan Wenbin: "You're planning to compensate directly, with money?"

Lin Shuyou: "Shouldn't I?"

Tan Wenbin: "Take her to pick out another car instead."

Lin Shuyou: "Oh, okay."

Tan Wenbin: "So many cosmetics in the bag? It's all rather pricey, right?"

Lin Shuyou: "They're duty-free."

Tan Wenbin: "But it's way too much, how long is the shelf life for these?"

Lin Shuyou: "I've prepared a set for Meng Meng as well. Brother Bin, should I prepare some… for Run Sheng?"

Tan Wenbin: "That's thoughtful, go ahead, let Run Sheng burn it."

Lin Shuyou took out Yin Meng's portion, wrapped it separately, and handed it to Run Sheng.

Run Sheng accepted it and nodded: "Thanks."

Tan Wenbin: "Ah You, let's go!"

"Coming, Brother Bin!"

Tan Wenbin got into the small pickup truck, started the engine, and Lin Shuyou sat in the passenger seat, giving him oral instructions about the surroundings and operations; Tan Wenbin drove according to Lin Shuyou's verbal guidance.

Last time, on the round trip to Rugao, that's how they operated.

Ah You can't drive himself; a slight turn or gear shift might accidentally trigger some unknown skill.

Fortunately, one's leg is lame and the other's blind, so it pairs up nicely.

Run Sheng placed the cosmetics before him, preparing to make paper crafts.

He couldn't put the cosmetics directly into the fire to send them over.

That would distress Yin Meng.

Run Sheng was skilled in paper crafting. Soon, he made paper replicas in the exact size and shape as the cosmetic boxes and jars.

Next was the coloring, which posed more of a challenge. Particularly, the dense ingredient lists, cautions, and various labels, most of which weren't in Chinese.

Run Sheng had to take the bag and cosmetics to Big Beard's house.

Xiao Yingying was sitting in the yard, both keeping company with the baby in the crib and also making paper crafts.

Li Sanjiang's house never worried about selling paper crafts; they would sell every piece produced.

Xiao Yingying glanced at the items in the two bags, nodded, and started picking up Run Sheng's unfinished pieces, using the genuine items for coloring.

Run Sheng stood by.

In the crib, Beng Beng was holding a bottle, sticking his chubby little legs in the air, feeding himself.

After drinking, he would lie down, stick out his butt, and burp himself.
