Chapter 406 Could he know something?

“Yes, I recognized him at first glance from the photo on your wall. Speaking of which, I’m also Xiaolin’s teacher,” Jia Yan said.

Li Yingtang's pupils dilated in shock. What a small world! Her circle was even smaller, endlessly revolving around her grandfather's old social circle. Luckily, she hadn't said anything out of line. "You're his teacher, what are you teaching him?"

"He gave you pointers on shooting. Speaking of which, your shooting style is somewhat like his. Who is your teacher?"

"Ahem." Li Yingtang cleared her throat tactically. "My mom taught me to do this. I'm a little tired after walking around. Please make yourselves at home." She then went upstairs.

Go to the last floor of the stairs.

She turned to look at the living room and met Lin Ye's gaze.

She immediately turned her head away to avoid his gaze.

Could he know something?

Lin Ye withdrew his gaze and turned to Lin Tianju.

As soon as the little girl entered the door, she took off her coat and began to fiddle with the souvenirs she had bought. He picked up the cotton coat that she had casually tossed next to him: "You just bought this? I don't remember you having clothes like this."

"It was a gift from Tangtang."

Zhen Pei said, "You child, how could you let Tangtang buy you clothes? What about your own clothes?"

"I spilled some food on myself, and I said I'd just make do. Tangtang said she wanted to buy something, and I couldn't let her down." Lin Tianju was busy sorting out souvenirs: "Uncle's, Aunt's, Big Cousin's, Grandpa's."

Lin Ye sighed, "Buying the same thing seems so insincere."

Lin Tianju tilted her head: "What do you mean? They're clearly two different things. If they don't want them, fine! When my girlfriends give them to me when school starts, they won't think I'm not sincere. If I tell them that these were specially brought back from Yanjing, they'll be extremely grateful to me and call me Sister Lin."

Lin Ye smiled silently.

Zhen Pei disagreed, saying, "How can you do that? Giving gifts at school to win people over and form cliques is unacceptable."

“Why not? Li Zhengui said that people need to form cliques to get ahead. He’s the big brother of their grade, with a bunch of followers around him. He doesn’t need to learn martial arts, and he has people protecting him.”

Lin Ye's face darkened: "You're acting like a hooligan. You're not allowed to communicate with him again."

"You! Ugh~~ I don't want it, you bad guy! Humph!" Lin Tianju kicked up abruptly, picked up the small gifts, and went upstairs to his room.

Lin Ye: "If you dare to secretly communicate with him, I'll beat you to death."

Even if he dies and becomes a ghost, I will still seek him out.

Lin Ye was furious and said to Jia Yan, "You've made a fool of yourself."

“It’s normal for kids to have a temper. Come to think of it, I’m quite envious.” Jia Yan felt guilty and remorseful as he thought of Qin Xian.

Lin Ye had already learned about the entanglement between Jia Yan and Qin Xian from Li Yingtang.

I couldn't comment, but I offered a couple of words of comfort: "Look ahead."

"Ah."

"."

Li Yingtang went back to her room and took a nap.

When I went downstairs again, the living room was empty.

"Lin Tianju? Uncle Jia?"

She walked out of the main house and called out twice more.

Jia Yan opened the kitchen door: "It's over here."

Are you the only one?

"Xiao Lin is here."

"Where did Lin Tianju go?" Li Yingtang asked Lin Ye as she stepped into the kitchen.

Lin Ye: "Walk your dog with her mother."

Li Yingtang: "She's really bold. She's not even familiar with my dog. Isn't she afraid of getting bitten if she takes it out on a leash? If she gets bitten, you can't blame me. I'll go out and look for her." She was a little worried.

"No need to look for them, they should be back soon." Lin Ye was too embarrassed to say, "Your dog might be in danger."

He and his wife have always been very obedient to their parents since they were young.

They do whatever the elders say.

The child born was completely outside the rules, with a rebellious streak.

If he hadn't been there for the delivery and held the baby constantly, he would have suspected that the baby had been switched at birth.

Hearing him say that, Li Yingtang felt much more at ease.

Seeing Jia Yan washing rice, she offered to help pick vegetables. "Yingtang, you don't need to help here. There's not much to do. You can go and rest."

Just then, a commotion came from outside.

Li Yingtang thought it was Lin Tianju and went out to open the door.

Cheng Shi and others waited at the door.

"Tenth Brother, come in quickly," Li Yingtang said.

"We found a pond in the mountains today. We drained it and it was full of big catches. My sister-in-law specially picked them out." Cheng Shi stopped the car and picked up a bucket from the back seat: "Should we just put it by the well?"

"That won't do, it's too cold there, it'll freeze later. Let's put it in the kitchen." Li Yingtang pushed open the kitchen door.

Cheng Shi saw the two people inside, and recognizing only Jia Yan, he said, "Uncle, I've come to deliver something."

Jia Yan stepped forward to check and saw fish and turtles: "Caught?"

"Correct."

"It's so cold, and you can still catch fish even when the lake is frozen. You're really skilled."

"I caught them in a pond in the mountains; it's small and easy to clean up. You guys are busy, I'll be going now," Cheng Shi said.

"Let's eat here," Li Yingtang suggested.

"We made it at home." Cheng Shi left.

Li Yingtang saw him off, and as he turned out of the alley, Lin Tianju appeared.

"棠"

Zhen Pei cleared her throat: "We agreed that we wouldn't shout."

Lin Tianju shut his mouth and waved instead.

When the dog saw its owner making a move to rush forward, Lin Tianju tightened his grip on the leash and pulled.

The dog stopped moving and obediently followed her.

She spoke only when she got closer: "Tangtang, were you waiting for me?"

Li Yingtang: "You say so, so you've subdued my dog?" She had been worried about it for a while.

"Yeah, this dog is really good at getting along with people. I only need to give it a look and it'll behave." Lin Tianju handed the dog leash back to Li Yingtang.

Li Yingtang chuckled: "Impressive."

Zhen Pei sighed helplessly, "Stop praising her, she's always been arrogant."

Li Yingtang: "." Is there?
She thought her mother was quite modest.

Return to the kitchen.

Lin Ye asked Li Yingtang, "I heard from your Uncle Jia that the young man was someone you tutored to get into university?"

“Yes, back then, I lived in the village with Ah-Xian. People actually came for him, but he was too busy. They assumed that since he was a college graduate, his wife must be highly educated, so they turned to me,” Li Yingtang said with a smile.

Zhen Pei chimed in, "If only you were in the South. I have a relative who's doing terribly in school. If you could tutor him, he might improve dramatically."

Lin Tianju: "Mom, are you referring to my older cousin?"

"Yes."

Li Yingtang recalled her eldest cousin, a spoiled rich kid, three years older than her mother, who should be in high school now. He didn't get into university, but his family used connections to get him into a second-rate one. He studied there for three months, but he wasn't cut out for studying and couldn't keep up.

During my junior year of college, I went south with someone to do business, but I was swindled out of everything.

This caused the family to fall back into poverty and almost angered the uncle to death.

His family used their connections to arrange a relatively easy job for him.

He worked sporadically, and eventually stopped going altogether. He was caught receiving a salary without working and was reported, which jeopardized his uncle's career.

The family later relied on the grandmother's financial support to make ends meet.

My mom told me that once my grandma gave money to someone and she caught her red-handed.

She snatched it back immediately.

The eldest cousin's face darkened immediately. He pointed at my mother's nose and said, "You're the only daughter my grandparents have. They'll have to rely on me to take care of them in their old age and see them off when they pass away."

My mother, with her strong personality, couldn't stand hearing that. She kicked my eldest cousin, sending him flying and injuring himself.

The two families had a huge fight and became enemies.
