Chapter 853 The Money Leaked Electricity
That's how business people are. They make even more money without a conscience. That's basic practice. Besides, he's just a little unscrupulous, but he doesn't use gutter oil. All his ingredients are fresh, and he never uses those of mediocre quality. So he can't be considered unscrupulous.

Besides, he's selling his skills and the taste, not his value for money. There are 10-yuan all-you-can-eat boxed meals in Northeast China that are all meat dishes, which looks outrageous. Those are the real value for money.

"Mmm... Wow, this tastes amazing! Son, you really know your stuff. You get what you pay for!"

"Although I also think it tastes delicious, I would absolutely not spend 28888 yuan to eat four pieces of this stuff, unless my son makes it."

In the living room, the two elders finally tasted Lin Mo's cooking. Upon tasting it, they were immediately amazed and understood why his dishes were so expensive and why their son could earn so much money.

Although they wouldn't spend money to eat there, it's understandable why wealthy people would be willing to spend that money to enjoy it; the taste is truly exceptional.

The two elders devoured everything at the dinner table today, second only to Miss Yuan.

There's no way around it; ordinary people haven't eaten anything good in all these years, so it's natural to lose some composure.

“Although I sell for a high price, the people who come to my restaurant are all big bosses. They don’t care about the money. Going there to eat is a treat for them. Besides, most of them are entertaining clients or discussing cooperation. It’s normal for a meal to cost hundreds of thousands. Otherwise, why do you think I can earn so much every month?” Lin Mo explained while eating.

His parents probably thought that running a restaurant meant working hard every day, never having a moment's rest, or hiring chefs and being a hands-off boss!
"My goodness, hundreds of thousands? These big bosses really don't treat money like money!" Old Lin said with a sigh, but his chopsticks didn't stop for even a minute.

The mother, Zhou Min, thought the same way: "Who cares? Others have to spend hundreds of thousands to eat the food our son cooks, but I'm eating a free meal!"

Soon, the food on the table disappeared at a visible speed. Of course, only the dishes Lin Mo made disappeared; the cooked food his mother prepared was almost untouched.

The two elders didn't eat a single bite of rice; they were full just from eating vegetables. In the end, only a pile of shrimp shells remained of the garlic lobster. Only then did the family of three put down their chopsticks.

An hour later, the two elders were half-paralyzed on the sofa, their bellies visibly bulging, clearly having eaten too much. Only Lin Mo, who had grown accustomed to the taste, knew how to restrain himself and was now cleaning up the mess by himself.

"Great! This meal was worth it, truly worth it!" Comrade Lin said with a satisfied expression.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min, the mother, rolled her eyes at him proudly and said, "That's right, don't you even know who gave birth to her?"

I was wondering why Yanyan, such a pretty girl from a well-off family, would fall for our son. Turns out, she was just after him! Learning to cook really is useful!

Mom really looks down on Liu Ruyan. Although cooking skills are part of the reason why the two got together, they only account for a very small part.

If it were Miss Yuan, then everything would make sense, since not every girl is a glutton.

Soon, Lin Mo finished cleaning up, washed the empty plates, and put all the cooked food his mother had prepared, such as roast chicken, back into the refrigerator untouched. His family's food supply for the next few days was secured.

After finishing everything, Lin Mo brought the tea to the sofa and poured a cup for his parents' son.

"Come on, Mom and Dad, have some tea to help with your digestion!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the two elders struggled to their feet and began slurping their tea. In an instant, they both felt enveloped by an emotion called happiness.

Fireworks and firecrackers occasionally went off outside, keeping the chilly temperature at bay. Plenty of sunlight streamed in through the windows, making one feel warm and cozy. This was the perfect way to steal a moment of peace from a busy life.

This is what Chinese New Year should be like!

Chinese New Year is meant to be a time to relax and enjoy yourself. If you have to work during Chinese New Year, then what kind of Chinese New Year is it?

His father, Comrade Lin, felt this particularly clearly. Now that he no longer had to work on the front lines, he was naturally very relaxed, and he didn't have to worry about being on duty at night during the Spring Festival.

"Son, come with me to the countryside tomorrow to visit your uncle and his family. Let your dad go back to his hometown by himself," Zhou Min, the mother, said while drinking water.

Lin Mo nodded: "Okay, my dad will probably just go back to the village for a visit. After all, the house has been demolished, and he doesn't have to do any work. If he doesn't want to go, then he doesn't have to go!"

Now that his old house has been demolished, even if Comrade Lin goes back, he will only bring some things to visit relatives in the village with whom he has a good relationship. Unlike every year when he goes back and has to pack things up, he doesn't need to help with that now.

“No, you have to come over tomorrow to pay respects at your grandparents’ graves. We’ve renovated our old house, so we should at least let you know,” Old Lin objected from the side.

Lin Mo slapped his forehead, realizing he'd almost forgotten about it: "Right, right, how about this? Tomorrow I'll go with you to pay respects at my grandparents' graves first, and then we'll go find my mom! We can always split up and go in three cars tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, the two elders in the family were taken aback, and then nodded. This year is different from previous years. The family only has one car, so they have to travel back and forth. They can split up and act separately!

Ka Ka Ka

The family of three leisurely enjoyed afternoon tea, snacking on peanuts, melon seeds, and fruit—a truly relaxing time.

However, as everyone knows, eating sunflower seeds easily results in a mess of shells, and soon the coffee table in front of the three of them and the floor became a mess.

Just then, Old Lin, who had just finished using the restroom, returned and sat down next to Lin Mo, leaving Lin Mo sandwiched between the two elders.

Soon, Lin Mo felt someone tugging at him. Turning his head, he saw that it was his father winking at him. Following the look in his father's eyes, he saw that the hundred-yuan bills that his mother had put away were sticking out of her pants pocket.

Lin Mo instantly understood what his father meant; without a doubt, he was being asked to steal the money.

After all, the father and son had done this before. Every time they succeeded, Old Lin would share the spoils with him, and then when they were discovered, the father and son would both get beaten up.

Perhaps because he was used to it, Lin Mo subconsciously reached out his hand when he saw this, but he realized what was happening the moment he got the money.

I'm already so rich, why would I need to steal money from my mom to give you? I can just give you some pocket money myself, can't I?

But things had already come to this point, and there was no turning back. However, the moment he got the money, Lin Mo triggered a stress response, and his hands started shaking uncontrollably as if he had Parkinson's disease.

There was nothing he could do; he was terrified of being disciplined before. Trembling, he stuffed the money into his pocket. Just then, his mother turned around and looked at him. Seeing his hand trembling as he held the pomelo, she asked curiously, "Son, what's wrong?"

Lin Mo: "Hmm? It's nothing, I'm just a little cold!"

After saying that, he got up, picked up a broom, and started sweeping the floor to find something to do and distract himself.

But his hands were shaking violently, as if they didn't belong to him. He could barely hold the broom, let alone sweep the floor.

"What's wrong, son? Did you get an electric shock? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?" Zhou Min, the mother, said.

Hearing this, Lin Mo clenched his fist tightly, turned his back to his father, and blocked his mother's view by pointing the pocket where he hid the money. He said, "It's okay, really okay. I'm just a little tired. I'll take a nap in a bit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo felt a hand reach into his pocket and take out the money. Instantly, his back stopped aching and his hands stopped trembling. He casually tossed aside the broom and dustpan, and his previously hunched back straightened up instantly.

"Ahem, well, I'm really fine. Um, I'm going back to my room to rest for a bit!"

After saying that, Lin Mo jogged back to the bedroom, locked the door from the inside, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Zhou Min, the mother, looked puzzled. She glanced at her husbands and snapped, "What are you looking at? Sweep the floor!"

"Huh? Oh, okay, I'll scan it, I'll scan it!"

After saying that, Old Lin stood up, grabbed the broom, and then his hands began to shake wildly, just like Lin Mo's reaction earlier. How to put it, this money is like a leaky spot; whoever has it on them will tremble all over.

To put it simply, Lin Mo and Lao Lin don't need any DNA testing; they are definitely father and son. Their genetic inheritance is incredibly strong.

It's fair to say that two people with the same surname were completely bullied by someone with a different surname in this family.

Lin Mo had only been lying down for less than five minutes when suddenly, his father's screams came from the living room.

Immediately, Lin Mo's doorman was pounded on loudly.

"You brat, come out here! You and your dad stole money together again, didn't you? And you're still shaking, pretending to have Parkinson's, huh? I'll make you both have Parkinson's!"

"Open the door and get out here!"

Along with his mother's angry roars, his father's screams also rose and fell. Lin Mo, listening from the side, just grinned. Why didn't this guy run away after he succeeded?

"You can't blame me for being disloyal!" With that, Lin Mo, lying on the bed, pulled the blanket over his head and pretended not to hear.

Ten minutes later, at the front door, with a muffled thud, the father and son were slammed shut outside, each carrying a bag of trash, looking rather disheveled.

Unfortunately, although he had anticipated being exposed and had gone back to his house in advance to prepare, he had completely forgotten that his house had been renovated.

His bedroom door had also been replaced, meaning that there was a key to the bedroom door, and the key was on the outside.

When his mother, Zhou Min, saw that he wouldn't come out, she found the bedroom key, pulled him off the bed, and gave the father and son a good beating in the living room before finally kicking them out of the house.

"Hehe, son, I'm sorry to have dragged you into this. Don't worry, your dad will definitely take responsibility!" Old Lin chuckled dryly from the side.

Lin Mo, speechless, said, "You haven't taken any responsibility, have you? Besides, you've already got the money, why don't you run away!"

"What are you saying? I just didn't have time!"

"None of that matters. What I'm really wondering is, your son doesn't need money now. If you need some pocket money, you can just tell me. Why do you have to steal money from my mom?"

Upon hearing this, Comrade Lin was taken aback, then slapped his thigh excitedly and exclaimed, "That's right! How could I have forgotten about that!"

Lin Mo:
