Chapter 110 Favor Lost
At the dinner table, Da Zhang and his wife had almost no common topics.

It wasn't until they talked about their children's reading that they finally got on the same page.

"Lin Yuan, you are good at studying, please help my child. Why can't he learn anything? You used to be a delivery boy, but you later got admitted to graduate school. Why can't my child learn anything no matter how hard I try?" Da Zhang still spoke directly. However, his wife didn't realize the offense to Lin Yuan in his words.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan knew Da Zhang's temper and didn't care at all.

Xia Ye was listening in with a confused look on her face, "When did Lin Yuan get admitted as a graduate student? Isn't he preparing for the exam?" However, Xia Ye did not ask immediately, because the impression given by the Zhang couple made her subconsciously think that the other party's words were irrelevant.

Lin Yuan put down his chopsticks and asked, "Is the child in the second grade now?"

"Yes, I'm in the second grade."

"Do you have any homework he usually does? Show it to me."

Da Zhang's wife immediately stood up and fetched a few exercise books. "Brother, you have to take a good look at your nephew." The expression on the woman's face was as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Lin Yuan flipped through the booklets.

There are pinyin questions and simple math questions.

If I had to use one word to summarize Da Zhang’s son’s homework, it would be - horrible.

There were a lot of mistakes in simple pinyin and word formation, and even in simple math addition and subtraction.

Lin Yuan remembered that when he was in the first and second grades, his parents didn't care about his studies at all, and he never stumbled on simple math problems. It was only after he entered junior high school and was exposed to online literature and games that he became less serious about studying.

But even though I did very badly, I still managed to get into a second-tier university.

In fact, Lin Yuan was able to get into a second-tier university on his own despite growing up in an environment like that. Compared to ordinary people, he was quite smart.

And the son of Da Zhang in front of him obviously couldn't even reach the level of ordinary people.

Lin Yuan stood up, took the toys he brought, and pulled Xia Ye and Da Zhang's son into the bedroom, locking Da Zhang and his wife outside. He said he wanted to test the child alone.

He brought Xia Ye in to avoid the embarrassment of being alone outside with the Da Zhang couple.

As for why they had to lock Da Zhang and his wife out, it was to create a relaxing environment for the child without his parents. After a brief contact with Lin Yuan, Da Zhang's son's eyes showed that he was very afraid of his parents.

After Lin Yuan closed the door, he stuffed all the toys and snacks into the child's hands.

Da Zhang's son took it timidly and didn't dare to open it for a while.

Lin Yuan encouraged, "It's okay, just open it, your parents are outside."

After several rounds of guidance, the child finally opened the package. After taking the first step, he started playing with the toy wantonly.

“Are the toys fun?”

"It's fun." The child answered innocently.

"Do your parents usually buy it for you?"

“They won’t buy it for me.”

"why."

"Mom said she had no money."

"Then do you want to always have toys to play with in the future?"

"think."

Lin Yuan held the homework booklet in his hand and said, "Tell me, do you like doing homework?"

"do not like."

"why?"

"just do not like it."

"But if you want toys, you have to do your homework well. If you get praised by the teacher, your parents will buy you toys." Lin Yuan didn't intend to talk about the meaning of studying with a seven or eight-year-old child.

"I don't want to do homework." Da Zhang's son's tone began to sound stubborn.

Xia Ye also patiently advised, "Why? If you want toys, you should study hard. If you get a perfect score, your parents will definitely buy them for you."

Da Zhang's son completely ignored the advice of the two people beside him and just focused on playing with the toys in his hands.

Lin Yuan and Xia Ye tried to speak patiently a few more times, but received few responses.

Lin Yuan and Xia Ye looked at each other, and he shook his head slightly. Then he said in a normal tone, "If you don't study hard, you won't have these toys in the future..."

Da Zhang's son still didn't react. Seeing this, Xia Ye added some spice, "If you don't study hard, we will take back the toys in your hands."

Da Zhang's son, who had been ignoring everyone, suddenly raised his head, and then his eyes suddenly became fierce, like a small animal protecting its food.

"This is my toy." The child's sharp voice sounded, and then he pushed Xia Ye, who was squatting next to him.

Caught off guard, Xia Ye stumbled and fell to the ground. Lin Yuan had not expected this to happen, so he quickly reached out to help Xia Ye up.

"Are you OK."

"I'm fine. Children don't have much strength."

Xia Ye's expression just now was actually very gentle, and her tone was completely that of a cute older sister. Given her personality, it would be difficult for her to really be mean to a strange child.

At this time, Da Zhang's son's attention returned to the toy cars and model airplanes, and he became the silent child who only focused on playing with toys.

At this point, Lin Yuan was helpless.

But he is not an expert on child psychology.

He was not sure about this situation. Was it because the child had not been nurtured since childhood so how could he communicate normally with others, or was it just his nature?

But no matter what, he didn't want to get involved in this mess.

Lin Yuan was willing to help with the education of Da Zhang's son, but only if it was just a small favor. If he was involved, he would not be so noble. After all, he also had his own life.

Lin Yuan knew very well that family environment had a huge impact on children. Because of his childhood experience, he was not as good at dealing with things as Gu Xuan.

Including Xia Ye, who was spoiled since childhood, so much so that she ended up working in a maid shop.

But how could Lin Yuan explain this to Da Zhang? Because if this topic was brought up, it would be equivalent to completely denying Da Zhang and his wife.

And Lin Yuan couldn't possibly provide a decent job for the two of them. Even if Lin Yuan had the ability now, his friendship with Da Zhang was not that deep. The most troublesome thing was that once he helped, if Da Zhang's family had problems in the future, would he continue to help? He was afraid of endless troubles.

In a word, Lin Yuan is not noble enough to meddle in other people's affairs.

It started with a chance encounter and will naturally end with just a little help.

The problems faced by Da Zhang's family have obviously gone beyond the scope of a simple effort.

Lin Yuan calmed himself down and opened the door.

"The child is doing well. After all, he is only in the first semester of the second grade. We can wait until he is in the fifth or sixth grade and see how he does. When it comes to studying, one thing to look at is talent, and the other is interest. Don't criticize the child too much because of his grades. Encourage him more and teach him to start with small things.

In short, this matter cannot be rushed."

Lin Yuan kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything more.

Da Zhang said anxiously, "Look, can my kid make as much money as you in the future? If not, I don't want to spend money to enroll him in any tutoring classes."

Upon hearing this, Da Zhang's wife hit Da Zhang on the shoulder and said, "If your child doesn't study, will he be like you? You can't earn much money all year round."

Xia Ye next to her was even more depressed. Although she did not dislike Lin Yuan, when did Lin Yuan make a lot of money? Moreover, the Zhang couple treated Lin Yuan as a life-saving straw, which made her wonder as soon as she entered the house.

"Or... I'll come back to see the child later?" Lin Yuan could only perfunctorily answer like this. He wanted to quickly end everything in front of him.

Da Zhang was still a little confused. With a little bit of alcohol in his body, he spoke anxiously, "When you were delivering food, you were even more stupid than me. You just studied a few more years than me. If my child studied hard since childhood, why can't he make a lot of money like you?"

Lin Yuan felt a little embarrassed. Even though he knew that Da Zhang was angry, his words were really hurtful.

"Well, I didn't say that my child won't be able to make a lot of money in the future. Maybe he will make more than me in the future."

"Really?"

"I mean, he's still young. Don't worry." Since the truth was useless, Lin Yuan had to tell a lie, "When I was seven or eight years old, I was not as good as him."

Da Zhang's face immediately brightened up when he heard that. "That's what I said. Even you can do it, why can't my son do it?"

After drinking a few cans of beer at the dinner table, Da Zhang spoke his mind with the help of cat urine. This also completely wiped out the last bit of gratitude that Lin Yuan had for him.

"It's getting late, we plan to go back first."

"Oh, there's one thing I forgot. Lin Yuan, can you help me check the courses my wife bought to see if she's losing money?"

Upon hearing this, Da Zhang's wife immediately retorted, "You just feel sorry for the money. Many people say that the course I bought is good."

Lin Yuan thought that since he was already here, he might as well give the Buddha a visit. It was just a matter of convenience. So he took a learning tablet and reviewed the online courses inside.
