Chapter 7 Just Getting By
When Madam Lin arrived, Lin Lu was instructing a servant to pour kerosene. Madam Lin rushed over and slapped Lin Lu across the face, saying, "Are you crazy? Arson is a violation of the laws of this dynasty."
Lin Lu looked at Madam Lin in disbelief, his eyes seeming to say, "You actually dared to hit me." But he quickly recovered, "Does Madam's hand hurt? I was wrong."
Mrs. Lin waved her hand. "Have you calmed down?"
"Thank you again, Madam, for bringing the imperial physician last night. But what should we do next?"
"Go report to the Prefect of the Capital. Clean up the ancestral hall and say that the fire was caused by dry weather and the servants' laziness..."
Lin Lu: "I'll do whatever you say, Madam. Is Lanxi feeling better? I haven't had a chance to see our daughter yet."
Speaking of Lin Lanxi, Madam Lin put away all her fierceness and showed helplessness like an ordinary mother. Lin Lu hugged Madam Lin and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will do everything in my power to cure Lanxi."
Madam Lin lightly punched Lin Lu's chest, "You're quite thoughtful."
The Prefect of the Capital acted swiftly, and after investigating the matter, he took the careless servant away. Before leaving, he even gave the Lin family a sympathetic look, thinking how unlucky the Lin family was.
What's the difference between burning down an ancestral hall and desecrating ancestral graves? Both are acts that destroy the resting place of our ancestors.
Granny Qiu's house was at the end of a small alley, with a paper shop on the left and a shady business on the right.
Xiong Bufan pushed the cart, curious about everything he saw. Granny Qiu warned him, "Don't look at anything you shouldn't; none of those things are good."
"Oh."
Granny Qiu pushed open the courtyard gate. The courtyard wasn't big, but it was planted with vegetables, and vegetables were drying in the places where they weren't planted. "Put the cart there. You wait at the gate. You're not allowed to come inside with me."
Xiong Bufan obediently pushed the car into the yard, found a place to park it, then picked up a vegetable and was about to put it in his mouth. He bit off the top, leaving only the root.
Granny Qiu took a pair of scissors out of the house and saw Xiong Bufan eating the vegetables she had worked so hard to grow. She quickly said, "Put down my vegetables. I said I wouldn't feed you, and I won't."
"Come here, let me fix your burned hair."
Xiong Bufan put down the vegetables and obediently went over, sitting on the stool that Granny Qiu brought, waiting to get his hair cut.
Granny Qiu cut off Xiong Bufan's singed hair with a pair of scissors, comforting him to avoid upsetting him, "Don't worry, your hair will grow back. If you don't cut it off, it will continue to protect your scalp..."
Xiong Bufan didn't understand these things, and naturally he didn't understand the saying "our bodies and hair are given to us by our parents," so he just let Granny Qiu cut his hair and even pick up hair from the ground to play with.
Granny Qiu carefully cut off the charred hair, leaving strands of hair scattered all over the ground.
Granny Qiu gave Xiong Bufan a clean but slightly worn hat, saying, "Take this with you when you go out from now on."
Xiong Bufan took the hat and put it on his head. "Okay."
"Come here and boil some water for a bath."
Granny Qiu found out Xiong Bufan's old clothes. After all, Xiong Bufan's clothes were burned and tattered. If he were left on the street, even beggars would give him money.
Xiong Bufan washed his face, changed his clothes, put on a hat, and twirled around, feeling very novel. He now looked like a handsome young master who was naive and innocent.
Qiao Qiqi, as the female lead, is naturally quite beautiful, and Lin Lu, who is fought over by many women, wouldn't be too ugly even if he were. Lin Lanzhi inherited the best features of both of them, and at such a young age, one can already foresee how brilliant she will be in the future.
Granny Qiu sighed, "This child is a bit simple-minded. I don't know if this appearance is a blessing or a curse."
"how old are you?"
Xiong Bufan counted on his fingers, quite proudly stating his age, "I'm three thousand years old this year, just one year shy of three thousand one hundred!"
Granny Qiu felt she had asked unnecessary questions, because it made Xiong Bufan look even sillier. What kind of young girl keeps saying she's thousands of years old?
"Okay, okay. What's your name?"
"Xiong Bufan!"
Granny Qiu had never heard of any family with the surname Xiong. Seeing that she couldn't get any information from them, she could only wave her hand and say, "Alright, Xiong Bufan it is then."
"If you live in the woodshed, I won't charge you rent. You're responsible for your own food; I'm not going to support you."
Xiong Bufan: "Okay." Anyway, we can always go to the Lin family mansion to find gold and silver to buy food.
When he needed money, he knew Lin Lanzhi had parents; when he needed to freeload, he claimed that her parents didn't want her anymore. Xiong Bufan truly mastered the essence of cunning.
Xiong Bufan settled down at Granny Qiu's house. Granny Qiu would knead dough at night, and Xiong Bufan would help stir the flour. In the early morning, when steaming buns, Xiong Bufan would help light the fire and push the cart to set up the stall. Xiong Bufan would also help Granny Qiu push the cart.
Although Xiong Bufan would occasionally sneak a couple of buns, Granny Qiu would pretend not to see it, and if he ate too many, she would put a stone on the pot lid.
Xiong Bufan's beautiful face attracted many customers to Granny Qiu's stall, and the steamed buns were sold out in just half the time yesterday.
However, her beauty also brought trouble to Granny Qiu and her companions, since there are always people who are attracted to beauty, regardless of gender.
Granny Qiu gave Xiong Bufan a steamed bun, which Xiong Bufan ate slowly. Several thugs walked up to Xiong Bufan and said, "Come with us, and I'll treat you to the best food and drink."
Kongkong warned Xiong Bufan, "Don't go, they're no good."
Xiong Bufan continued eating his steamed bun without looking up. When Granny Qiu saw this, she came over and asked, "Gentlemen, what has happened?"
