The Blessed

Ling Jingxuan who felt sullen decisively vented his anger on his man, while the latter laughed even more exaggeratedly. Ling Jingxuan threw his dagger eyes at him and then turned to his sons and said using a tone as mild as he could, “I didn’t ask you to spend it all. But bringing more with you wouldn’t be wrong.”

“Why should I take so much? What if it’s stolen?”

Ling Wen still furrowed his little brows. He always felt that his daddy should be plotting against him.

“Ahem...don't you want to buy something for yourself? For example, some good quality clothing materials, ink and paper, and so on, we are rich now. We could win people’s respect if we wear decently, right?”

“Why should I win respect from those irrelevant people? Daddy, it’s true that we are rich now. But you earned the money through your hard work. How can I waste it?”

“Isn't daddy's yours? Just spend as much as you want.”

“That won’t do. How would hate that he has too much money? Daddy, I know you are trying to fool me, you want to spend more money.”

“Well...”

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom The result of the contest between daddy and son, Ling Wen had the absolute win. Whenever and wherever, as long as it was related about money, Ling Jingxuan, as the daddy, never won.

“Knock, knock…”

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the daddy and son, staring at each other, had to cease the war. Ling Wen looked at the tea table and the money on the floor, and seemed to realize that it would not be possible to put them away so quickly, and they had to leave it there for the time being. And he ran outside to open the door.

“Why are you trying to induce him? You know he is stingy and you asked him to take a hundred taels of silver on him? Isn’t it like cutting his flesh?”

Sweeping over at the frustrated Ling Jingxuan, Yan Shengrui found it amused. Anything should be taken step by step. He was taking a too big step, no wonder their son would fight back.

Talking things about money with Ling Wen was even more tiring than doing some labor work. Ling Jingxuan collapsed into the chair, saying after making a twitch of his mouth, “I saw that he had the thought of using the silver ingots, so I wanted to strike while the iron is hot. Who knows…when could I cure his stingy personality?”

They had tens of thousands of silver at home now, so he could be rendered as a little richie now. In countryside, those money should be a lot, right? Why his little son still don’t want to spend money? Is his nearly three months’ teaching totally in vain?

Thinking of this, Ling Jingxuan felt it was such a huge blow to him. Why is it so hard to raise them into the dandy rich second generation?

“Hehe…no hurry, take it slow. Hasn’t he made some progress today? At least he took the initiative to try to spend money on his family. Don’t expect that much now.”

Stretching his hand to pat him on the shoulder, Yan Shengrui comforted him dotingly.

“Alas…I can only take it as it is now.”ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Could only blame for their totally different values of life. Ling Jingxuan made a sigh. Meanwhile, the two little buns who went to answer the door went back with Chu Yan. Seeing money all over the floor, Chu Yan picked his eyebrows with confusement but didn’t ask anything, instead, he said with respect, “Uncle Sheng, Uncle Ling.”

“Yan’er, save it. Sit down.”

Yan Shengrui lightly nodded, Ling Jingxuan also withdrew his decadent feeling, stretched out his hand to point to the chair next to him, Chu Yan nodded gently, after saying thank, he walked over with the two little buns. After they sat down, Ling Jingxuan asked with a gentle smile, “Yan’er, what are you doing here?”

Isn't he supposed to be reading at this time?

“Well, Uncle Sheng, Uncle Ling, I heard you are going to the county, so I am wondering if you can take with me.”

After taking a ginger look at Yan Shengrui who had stayed silent, Chu Yan asked embarrassedly. Since he came to Datong town with his father, he had seldom gone out. So this time he was really happy after coming to Yuehua Manor. After hearing that they were going to the county, he also couldn’t help wanting to go with them. And after this thought popped out of his mind, he already couldn’t control it. After getting his father’s approval, he instantly ran over.

“Of course. If you come with us, you can help me take care of the kids. I am very glad you can go. How can I say no?”

Looking at his little face stained with all expectations though he was trying hard to conceal it, Ling Jingxuan agreed without even thinking. This kid is so sensible. Under what kind of environment had he grown up? And what pains had he gone through? Just nine years old, but he looked even more mature than a fifteen years old boy. If his little buns were like this, he could feel so sad.

“Really?! Thanks, Uncle Ling, I will keep an eye on them then.”

As Chu Yan heard that, his little peach blossom eyes glistened with joyful light. He had thought it would cost him a lot of saliva trying to convince them to let him go, never expected…A bright smile crawled onto that little charming face that hadn’t full grown. He was really happy that he could go to the county together with them.

“Haha...”

Looking at him with a gentle smile, Ling Jingxuan turned to throw a look at Yan Shengrui, as if to say, as his uncle, shouldn’t you say something? How could just casting a faint look at him be enough?

“Daddy, you really lied to me. Brother Yan said the silver earrings are very cheap, not expensive at all.”

All of a sudden, after some chattering with Chu Yan, Ling Wen pointed at his daddy and complained. He knew it! How could even ten taels of silver not be enough?

“Er... are you sure you share the same values?”

Ling Jingxuan only felt like having a headache, the corner of his mouth having a twitch. He swore that the so called ‘not expensive’ from Chu Yan’s mouth should be totally different from ‘not expensive’ Ling Wen understood.

“What difference could it make? Daddy, you fooled us, Xiaowu, don't listen to daddy, let's take a ten-tael bank not, a silver ingot and some copper coins, and it would be enough. We’ll save the rest…”

Throwing a severe look at his daddy, Ling Wen grabbed the small bun’s hand, squatted down to put those copper coins back into the saving pot. And the small bun who had always taken on his side unconditionally totally had no objection. Two brothers, together with Chu Yan, picked the money on the ground and stuffed them back into the saving pot. Ling Jingxuan who had been ‘loathed’ by his son again helplessly shook his head. Plan failed!
