Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 217 The big guy standing in front of the door looks good even without clothes on.

Lin Mo himself didn't have much need for a car. When Miss Yuan gave him her Xiaomi car, it mostly just sat there collecting dust downstairs in the neighborhood.

He only drove it a few times when he went to the city, but after that trip to Miss Yuan's maternal grandmother's house, the car returned to Yuan Meng's hands, but it didn't affect Lin Mo much.

Whether it's taking a taxi or the subway, it feels very convenient. Besides, when he's not busy, his activities are limited to the school and Chengyue Community.

Although he doesn't really need it, his family does. They have a Volkswagen, but it's been around for many years and is a manual transmission. His dad usually drives it to work.

After all, the steel mill is in the suburbs, which is quite a distance away, and his father's job involves three shifts, so he can't always take a taxi to work at midnight.

As for his mother, she usually takes the bus to school, which is convenient since it's in the city.

He was thinking of buying a car for his mother to drive, so that both of them would have a car. That's right, all three of them had driver's licenses, which would be convenient.

As for what kind of car to buy, Lin Mo hasn't decided yet, but it certainly doesn't need to be particularly expensive; a family car for commuting will be perfectly sufficient.

Moreover, his mother is a teacher with a permanent position, so it would be easy for people to gossip if she suddenly started driving a very expensive car. A car worth around 100,000 yuan would be fine, and 200,000 yuan would be the most.

This amount of money is not a problem for Lin Mo at all. You see, ever since the shopping page came out, his money has been almost in a state of only going in and not going out. The few times he spent a lot of money were when he treated Miss Yuan and Liu Ruyan to a meal.

But there's nothing that can be done about it. These two are his sugar daddies. Simply put, these two rich women are his sales channels, and they have a pretty good relationship with him. As long as his products are good, these two will at least not let him suffer losses.

Having such a downstream partner is a significant resource for anyone, as many businesses run into problems at this stage. It can be said that these two wealthy women with substantial capital laid the foundation for Lin Mo to achieve financial freedom.

Spending a few thousand yuan to treat someone to a meal is quite worthwhile, at least the cost will ultimately be borne by the customer.

After returning home, Lin Mo first took a shower and washed up. Then he pretended to take the eye patch out of his bag and hand it to his mother. As for how to use it, it was written on the label, so he didn't need to worry about that.

Although it was just a simple eye patch, Zhou Min, the mother, didn't take it lightly. After the incident with black phlegm that morning, she now looked at everything her son brought out with a higher regard.

As for whether it works or not, we'll find out by trying it; it won't hurt you anyway.

"Dad, are you going to work today?" Lin Mo asked, sitting on the sofa.

Upon hearing this, Lao Lin nodded: "I'll work the 4 PM shift, then the midnight shift, and then I'll have a day off. What's wrong?"

"It's alright. If you're free, how about we take a drive around in a bit?" Lin Mo said, winking at Old Lin.

Seeing his son's gaze, Old Lin narrowed his eyes and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, his mother, who had specially changed into a very beautiful long dress and was wearing a gold necklace, came out and grabbed Lin Mo's arm, saying, "Come on, eldest son, let's go out for a stroll and buy some groceries!"

Accompanying Mom to the farmers market? What's the point? Lin Mo shook his head repeatedly, "No, Mom, you go by yourself. I just finished my morning exercise and want to rest for a while."

Accompanying women shopping, whether in a mall or a farmers' market, is essentially the same thing—the root of men's suffering.

Besides, his mother's cooking was just average. It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't delicious either. Especially after Lin Mo acquired the skill of "professionally cooking chicken for thirty years," his culinary skills had reached a certain level, so he naturally felt that his mother's cooking was just average.

Fortunately, he has one good point: he can eat any food that he didn't cook himself.

So when Lin Mo heard that his mother wanted to take him to the farmers market, his first thought was to refuse. Not only would it be tiring, but it would also be boring, and most importantly, the food would just be so-so. Why make things difficult for himself?

"Rest my ass! I specially changed my clothes, just waiting to go out and show them off. You hurry up and go back to change into something nicer, or I'll make your mother slap you the day after you get back!" Zhou Min, the mother, said with a frown.

Lin Mo:
Old Lin:
"Ahem, son, you should go, otherwise your mom will suffer for the next few days, believe it or not?"

That's why she's his own daughter-in-law; Old Lin knows exactly what his mother is thinking and what the consequences will be.

Seeing that his father had said so, Lin Mo knew that he definitely had to go today.

He then went back and took out the black shirt that Liu Ruyan had bought for him to change into. The clothes he wore yesterday were a bit dirty and were still in the washing machine.

When Lin Mo came out again, his mother Zhou Min's eyes lit up when she saw her son.

"Oh my, my eldest son looks so handsome! Who bought you this outfit? You have great taste. Is it your cousin?"

It was obvious that Zhou Min knew her son's fashion sense wasn't great. Although she couldn't tell how much the outfit cost, she was sure she had put thought into the styling.

"Well, it's about right, it'll do!" Lin Mo didn't insist on explaining, afraid that his mother would ask again who Liu Ruyan was, which would be bad.

He just wanted to spend the holiday quietly at home, hoping nothing would go wrong.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, let's get out of here!"

Zhou Min, the mother, left with her eldest son. She had changed into new clothes, her hair was neatly combed, she wore low-heeled shoes, and a gold necklace glittered around her neck. She exuded confidence.

"Sister Wang, have you eaten yet?"

"Uncle Zhao, where are you going?"

"Hey, let's go to the market. Don't you remember my son?"

"A necklace? My son bought it for me, hahaha!"

Inside the neighborhood, his mother, Zhou Min, would talk to anyone she knew. In short, there were three things to say: she was dressed smartly today, the handsome young man next to her was her son, don't ask why he had changed so much, just know that boys change a lot as they grow up, and he became more and more handsome; the third thing was the necklace around his neck.

It's not that the gold necklace is particularly valuable or exquisite, but rather that it was a gift from her son, who earned money during his university internship, making it all the more meaningful.

There is one moment that parents are especially happy about: the first time they spend their child's money.

The amount of money doesn't matter; what matters is that it represents the child I've raised for so many years has finally grown up and knows how to think of their parents.

His mother, Zhou Min, is in this state now. The gold her son buys for her and the gold her husband buys for her are two different things.

If it were Lao Lin who bought it, his mother would be happy, but she would never show it off so ostentatiously.

They were all ordinary people, and Lin Mo understood his mother's feelings, so he let her have her way.

It took his mother more than ten minutes to walk that short distance within the neighborhood today, and Lin Mo's face was stiff from smiling.

Soon, Lin Mo followed her mother to a vegetable market near the neighborhood, where some of the stall owners were familiar to her mother.

"Sister Pang, give me a three-scaled fish, a big one," Mom Zhou Min said, stopping in front of a fish stall.

Inside sat a woman of considerable age and a plump figure, whom his mother called "Fatty Sister"—not a nickname, but the name of her fish stall. "Alright, hey girl, you look great today, and with that big gold necklace, are you meeting your future in-laws?" Fatty Sister said with a smile as she scooped up fish.

Fatty lived in the same neighborhood as them, and since his mother often came to buy fish, they naturally became quite familiar with each other over the years.

"Haha, what's this about meeting in-laws? My son hasn't even graduated yet, he's only a senior. The necklace was bought for me with money he earned during his internship."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhou Min, the mother, seemed to have been tickled, and the smile on her face couldn't be taken off.

"Wow, this child is promising! He looks filial. Just wait and see how good he is!" Aunt Pang was good at talking and naturally wouldn't undermine him.

“What’s there to enjoy? As long as he doesn’t make me angry, that’s fine. Look, he’s reluctant to come out and do some work with me,” said Zhou Minchao’s son, who was standing not far away from her.

Upon hearing this, Fatty looked over, and Lin Mo, carrying a bag of celery, quickly greeted her, "Hello, Auntie Fatty!"

His mother calls her "Fatty Sister," so he must be a generation younger than her.

"Wow, is this handsome guy your son? I don't remember him looking like this before."

The woman was genuinely stunned this time. Although Lin Mo hadn't come back much these past few years because he was in college, she could still occasionally see him in the neighborhood.

“Now that you’re a senior in college, you’ve learned to dress up,” Mom Zhou Min said with a smile.

Aunt Pang didn't think much of it, after all, it's normal for people to change, and then smiled and said:

"Wow, what a handsome young man! Do you have a girlfriend yet?"

Lin Mo smiled and shook his head.

"You'd better hurry up and find someone soon, so you can get married after graduation. Your parents have already prepared the money for buying a car and a house for you," Aunt Pang teased.

In response, Zhou Min, the mother, waved her hand and laughed, "How old is he? Getting married? He might not even be able to find a partner."

"How could that be? With your family's conditions, and the young man being so handsome and tall, as the saying goes, a tall man standing in front of the door looks good even without clothes on. Finding a partner would be a piece of cake!" As Aunt Pang spoke, she had already skillfully prepared the fish.

Upon hearing this, Mom smiled and accepted the money, then paid the bill, feeling extremely satisfied. She then exchanged a few more pleasantries with Sister Pang before leaving.

"Mom, let me hold this," Lin Mo reached out to take the fish from his mother's hand.

But Sister Min slapped her hand away: "What are you taking? Don't get your clothes dirty. You better watch your clothes. Your job today is to follow me cleanly. You don't need to worry about anything else!"

Lin Mo:
For Zhou Min at this moment, having her handsome son standing next to her was enough to make her look good even without doing any work.

If you take something for yourself and get your clothes dirty, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Were Lin Mo's own clothes dirty? No, it was her face that was dirty.

Lin Mo then accompanied her mother through the entire market with a helpless expression.

When they got home, both of them were carrying a lot of things. Lin Mo was so tired that he collapsed on the sofa, almost unable to go on, while his mother was still full of energy and could even hum a little tune while tidying up the groceries she had bought.

Old Lin, standing to the side, gave his son a thumbs up: "Son, thank you for making this week a good one! You've worked hard, here, have a smoke!"
Looking at the cigarettes his father handed him, Lin Mo rolled his eyes: "Are you hoping your son will become a dragon among men? Let me make this clear first, I'm not up to the task of carrying on this family banner. You sit on this throne to the end, and whatever you do, don't pass it on to me!"

His dad knows he doesn't smoke, so if he's being overly attentive, it's never for a reason.

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Comrade Lin's face, but he quickly concealed it.

Just then, Lin Mo's phone suddenly started ringing continuously. When he picked it up, he found that Director Wang, Chuanmei, Wang Jing, and others had all sent him messages.

Open the Sichuan girl's WeChat.

Sichuan Girl: [Video]

"Holy crap, Lao Mo, is that you? I remember this license plate, 2888t, it's your cousin's car. You two are pretty unrecognizable. Did your ancestral graves explode and the video explode? You wouldn't actually be the internet celebrity 'Holy Body,' would you?"

Lin Mo clicked on the video and saw that it was indeed the video of his cousin becoming a war criminal yesterday, which had over 4 million likes and nearly 100,000 comments, making it a complete sensation.

After glancing at the comments section, Lin Mo felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

There were two or three hundred vehicles at the scene. My wife and I couldn't get any work while they were repairing the road, so we burned some paper money for the young lady's ancestral grave!

Remember this license plate number, and be careful when driving on the road!

[I saw videos posted by other car owners, wow, who says life doesn't have that many spectators? Look at all these, hahaha!]

[This girl is pretty! Is the woman next to her her boyfriend?]

I know him. His name is Lin Mo, and he can operate an excavator!

[Hey, you know what, it really is him! This handsome guy is kind of an abstract representation!]

[I wonder if the merit I gained from saving someone last time will be enough to offset this one, hahaha!]

Because the video was leaked, Lin Mo was naturally recognized by netizens. It's worth noting that not much time had passed, so netizens still remembered him.

Lin Mo even saw many people saying they wanted to come and burn paper money at his mother's ancestral grave, and that they were going in groups. The thought that his mother's ancestral grave might become a popular spot for internet celebrities to take photos made Lin Mo break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he wasn't the main culprit. His cousin must be even more panicked right now.
And that's exactly what happened. At this time, her cousin Su He also saw the video. When she woke up, she received messages from all sorts of people on WeChat, and even people in her work group tagged her.

She also got a new name, 2888t, a Class A war criminal from Nancheng City.

Nobody cares what her real name is, because everyone calls her by her license plate number now, even her colleagues at the company.

At that moment, Su He was on the phone with Liu Ruyan.

"Hahaha 2888t, you're famous now! Let me interview you. Is your ancestral grave really 'fired'? If that's not enough, I'll haul another truckload over for you. Your grandparents will definitely have plenty to spend," Liu Ruyan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Su He: "Screw you!"
