My dad's marriage into my family made me rich, and my fierce yet adorable older sister spoils m

"Where are we going? Go away! We're going to the black market to do serious business, not to go to a temple fair."

Lin Chuan put on a serious face, then earnestly began to deceive.

"Besides! Furthermore, if my third sister and I leave, what if wild boars come down from the mountain or He Youcai comes looking for trouble again? Fourth sister, you are the security captain of our Guan family compound, and sixth sister, you are the intelligence specialist. You two have important responsibilities and must stay to protect Father, Mother, Eldest Sister, and Little Seven!!"

After being flattered by Lin Chuan, Guan Siya, though still somewhat wanting to go, undeniably had her vanity greatly satisfied.

She puffed out her chest proudly, then slammed her hand on the table and looked up: "Fine then! Since the family can't do without me, I'll reluctantly stay and guard the base! But Xiao Chuan, when you come back, you have to bring me two red ribbons, or I'll chop you up with a knife!"

Seeing Guan Siya's disrespectful behavior, Guan Hongying couldn't help but glare at her with a mixture of curiosity and amusement.

"This child is becoming more and more unruly!" she said softly.

Lin Hai, standing to the side, watched the children bickering with a smile on his face.

"What's wrong with that? We're all family, why bother with rules?"

Guan Hongying gave a soft snort, then whispered, "Then why were you talking to me about rules tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai's smile froze, and he lowered his head, his face flushed.

He stammered, "This...this is different..."

Meanwhile, the children on the other side were completely unaware of the whispered conversation between the two.

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Lin Chuan smiled and readily agreed to Guan Siya's request, then looked at Guan Liuya.

When Guan Liuya saw that Guan Siya wasn't going, and that Lin Chuan had even called her "Sixth Sister," she felt incredibly happy.

"Hehe, then I won't go either! Little Chuan, remember to buy me something delicious." She grinned, revealing her little tiger teeth as she chuckled.

Seeing her sly look, Lin Chuan couldn't help but reach out and rub her little head.

"Of course! Big sister, Little Seven, what do you two want?"

Guan Daya frowned slightly, her gentle oval face filled with confusion.

"I...I don't know what I want. I'll be satisfied with books and pens."

Guan Xiaoqi blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.

"I...I'm fine with anything..."

Lin Chuan chuckled, looking at these two indecisive people, and could only say, "Alright! I'll see when the time comes! Don't worry! Since we're going, everyone will definitely get a gift!"

After finishing their meal, Guan Hongying called Lin Chuan over.

"Xiao Chuan, here's some for you." Guan Hongying didn't mince words and directly put a few bills into Lin Chuan's hand.

Lin Chuan was shocked when he saw it. "Mom, this is too much, and I already have money on me!"

It must be said that Guan Hongying is indeed a very good mother.

Lin Chuan and Guan Sanya had hunted wild boar together before, and they cut off some meat for themselves to eat.

The remaining meat was sold along with the pig when Guan Hongying slaughtered it at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Guan Hongying didn't hesitate to give half of the money she earned to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan was initially a little embarrassed to accept it, since Guan Sanya didn't have any.

Moreover, he himself was well aware that he hadn't actually been of any help.

Most of the credit goes to Guan Sanya.

However, Guan Hongying remained resolute. The maids in the family were used to hunting, but Lin Chuan was not.

Even if someone brings back a wild boar on their first hunting trip in the mountains, they deserve a great reward!

Guan Hongying was so adamant that Lin Chuan couldn't refuse and could only agree with tears in his eyes.

So when he suggested going to the black market, he thought he could just use his own money, and he didn't expect Guan Hongying to care about him so much.

As expected, upon hearing Lin Chuan's words, Guan Hongying once again refused outright.

"No way! The past is the past, and the present is the present. Every time our children go to the county town, we have to give them at least five yuan, not to mention that you also have to help the family buy things. Hurry up and take it."

Holy crap! Five yuan!

In this day and age, five yuan is a lot of money!

Five yuan can even buy a lot of things! How much do factory workers earn?

However, despite Guan Hongying's words, Lin Chuan was still somewhat troubled.

"Just take it. Every time we go out, Mom gives us money. The more we buy, the more she gives us."

Seeing this, Guan Daya, who was standing nearby, also spoke up.

In that case, refusing again would seem too pretentious.

Lin Chuan smiled and took the money from Guan Hongying's hand. "Alright! Thank you, Mom! You're so good to me! Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of you in the future!"

Guan Hongying is only 36 years old, but when she heard Lin Chuan say this, she still couldn't stop smiling with filial piety.

Then he started praising Lin Chuan to the skies.

Even Lin Hai was somewhat exasperated by the praise.

The next morning, before dawn, Lin Chuan, carrying a bamboo basket, followed Guan Sanya on the road to the county town.

The bamboo basket contained two enormous wild rabbits, plump from being fed with spiritual spring water, and several fox pelts that Guan Sanya had already tanned.

When we get to the black market later, we can sell these and get some money.

Bargaining chips on the black market.

On a winter morning in the north, the wind is truly biting cold!

Guan Sanya continued to walk ahead with large strides, her steps light and quick.

She had assumed that Lin Chuan, this young master from the city, would still get tired after walking only a few miles of mountain road, so she deliberately slowed down her pace.

To her surprise, after walking for more than half an hour, there wasn't even a sound of someone panting behind her.

This made Guan Sanya turn around in confusion, only to find that Lin Chuan was steadily following a few steps behind her.

Even his breathing was perfectly normal, and he remained calm and composed, observing the snowy scenery by the roadside with great interest.

During this time, Lin Chuan secretly drank spiritual spring water every day, and his body had long since recovered from its deficiencies.

Although he looks very thin now, his physical strength is even better than that of an average adult strong man.

Noticing Guan Sanya's gaze, Lin Chuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

"Third sister, why do you keep turning around to look at me?"

Lin Chuan took three steps at a time and then approached Guan Sanya, teasing her with a grin.

"Have you suddenly realized that your younger brother is actually quite handsome? Doesn't he seem more and more pleasing to the eye the more you look at him?"

Guan Sanya was taken aback by his shameless words, but a hint of unease still flashed across her cool and aloof face.

She snorted coldly: "Stop being so conceited. I'm just worried that you'll get lost and end up being eaten by wolves in the mountains."

"Oh dear~ With Third Sister around, which wolf would dare to be so blind?"

Lin Chuan climbed up the pole, even deliberately bumping his shoulder against Guan Sanya's shoulder.

"Hey~ Third Sister, you always have such a stern face at home, like someone owes you two hundred yuan, but you must look really beautiful when you smile. Come on, give this old man a smile?"
