Chapter 167 Trust
"?"
Lin Lanshan rolled her eyes at her, "What are you laughing about for no reason? It's because I found them and helped them."
So they're grateful to me, and they like me even more, isn't that normal?
Lin Chunyi shrugged and said, "Alright, you're right. I'm not saying anything more, Ahua's coming."
As expected,
Ahua brought over a small stool and sat down next to Lin Lanshan without hesitation, looking from a distance as if she were glued to her.
However, this is actually quite good.
For their actual ages, Xiaoman, Ashu, and Ahua are all considered children.
They like and depend on them, yet they don't need to be supported by them, and they are all well-behaved and sensible.
Moreover, the two of them will not get married in the future, will not have children, and are not so free to adopt children.
Isn't this just like picking up a ready-made child? Hahahaha!
As they get older, they may sometimes feel lonely and isolated.
I hope that some of the younger kids will be there to keep them company, chat with them, and make them laugh.
Hmm, it seems really good!
……
Yang Yu and Ashu had only practiced for half an hour when Lin Chunyi surprisingly let them rest.
They thought they had done something wrong, and for a moment they didn't dare to stop what they were doing with their hands and legs.
She called out, "Come here, everyone, take a break. I have something I want to ask you."
The two men walked up to them and stopped.
"Yang Yu, you and Zheng Yong seem to be getting along quite well, right? When did this start?"
Yang Yu pondered for a moment and replied, "It's indeed quite good. We met because of Lin Youfu, the village chief."
When we first arrived, he was worried that we wouldn't be used to the village and wouldn't be able to talk to the people. So he asked his son, Lin Zhengyong, to show us around the village and the place.
Lin Zhengyong is a very warm and lively person. Although he sometimes talks nonsense, he's really loyal! We hung out a few times, and our relationship gradually improved.
Should she ask Lin Zhengyong about making money with Yang Yu in detail, or just casually, or only briefly?
This is a problem...
Lin Chunyi hesitated, her expression full of uncertainty.
Yang Yu seemed to understand, and tentatively asked, "Master, do you want to ask about Lin Zhengyong and me making money together?"
The two masters had a very good relationship with the village chief's family, and I had heard about it several times from Lin Zhengyong.
They were treated like their own daughters and younger sisters.
This is also why he decided to first befriend Lin Zhengyong and the village chief's family.
Lin Chunyi nodded, then shook her head: "What you do is your business, I won't ask any more questions. However, since you've known Brother Zhengyong for a while, you should be aware of our relationship with his family."
There are many tricks to making money in business that neither we nor he had been exposed to before, and we didn't understand much about them.
We are truly grateful that you are willing to help him and bring him along. However, if he is not cut out for business, you don't need to make things too difficult for yourself just because of us.
Yang Yu tensed up. His master's words were ostensibly words of gratitude, but they also implied a lack of trust in him in this matter, and a concern that he might have harmed Lin Zhengyong.
Indeed, he knew all too well how the Yang family had gotten to where they were today. For profit, they were willing to send their own family members into the den of iniquity, the Qian family!
He had witnessed similar incidents since childhood. If his own brother hadn't also been a victim, he probably wouldn't have reacted or been affected by such behavior much in his life.
The master worried that he would be unscrupulous in business and would lead the naive Lin Zhengyong astray.
This is normal.
He asked himself honestly, could he possibly do business without getting involved in any messy or shady things?
Of course not...
They probably noticed that Yang Yu's complexion wasn't good, fluctuating between red and white.
Lin Chunyi felt a little guilty, wondering if she had spoken too harshly.
He couldn't choose the kind of family he was born into.
On the surface, his mother and brother were forced to their deaths by the mistress, but in reality, without his father's secret permission, how could things have turned out this way? He probably understood this in his heart.
That's really bad...
As his mentor, he even had to give him roundabout warnings and reminders.
Is such distrust really a bad thing?
Lin Chunyi then changed her approach, explaining, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it."
Although I don't know much about business, I know that nothing can be accomplished with just enthusiasm.
Everyone has their own path to walk, and every path has its own experiences and things that must be done.
You don't need to overthink it. Just do what you believe is the right thing to do after careful consideration.
The warning has already been given once, so there's no need to keep reminding me or dwelling on these issues.
Even teaching young children requires learning to trust them properly, let alone adults who are much bigger.
Yang Yu bowed respectfully and solemnly promised, "Master, I understand what you mean. Rest assured! A gentleman has principles of conduct and principles of refraining from action. I will never become like them!"
If he becomes someone like them, without any moral compass, then his mother and brother will have died in vain!
"Okay, I believe you!"
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Lin Lanshan had no choice but to step forward and change the subject, saying to Ashu with interest:
"By the way, we also wanted to ask Ashu, your sister said that you made all those bamboo baskets yourself, is that right?"
Ashu was still lost in thought during the conversation, seemingly pondering something, and didn't reply.
Lin Lanshan stretched out her right hand and waved it in front of him. "Snap out of it. What are you thinking about?"
"Huh? What?" Ashu replied, confused.
Ahua immediately transformed into a "royal bodyguard" in front of Lin Lanshan's "emperor".
She kicked her brother hard, saying, "Brother, what are you doing? Sister Lanshan is asking you a question. She's asking if you made the basket?"
"Oh, I made it." Ashu scratched his head sheepishly.
Lin Chunyi observed Ahua's actions.
Tsk tsk~ I wonder if this little girl will grow up to be a die-hard fan of Lin Lanshan.
Lin Lanshan, completely oblivious to anything amiss, continued to ask him, "So, what else can you do?"
He thought for a moment, not daring to speak too definitively, "I can probably make most of the commonly used bamboo baskets, carrying baskets, winnowing baskets, and so on."
"Is there anything I can do for you, Sister Lanshan?" "No, I can think about it and try again."
Lin Chunyi asked, "Your bamboo weaving is quite good. Have you ever thought about selling it in town?"
Ah Shu glanced at Yang Yu secretly, then lowered her eyes and replied:
"Brother Yang Yu... mentioned it to me, but he said there are plenty of people selling these ordinary things in town and county. There are also many who do it better than me, so even if I go there, I won't make much money."
He told me to use my brain to come up with something new and novel, something that no one else has done or can make, so that it would sell well. I've been trying that recently, but I haven't gotten anywhere yet.
His father used to do these things, so he learned to do them too.
What's novel? What can't others do?
He'd never even seen one before; sigh, he couldn't possibly imagine it...
