Lin Fan understood what Lin Desheng meant.

It's just that I'm worried that I've made so much money so easily these past two days, and I'll get carried away and start messing around outside.

If it were the old Lin Fan, he might have thought this way, but the current Lin Fan has experienced many ups and downs in his previous life and is someone who handles business worth hundreds of millions or tens of millions of dollars. This amount of money is nothing to him.

He then looked at Lin Desheng and Zhang Weihao and smiled, "Don't worry, Dad, I won't waste the money!"

"We'll give my eldest sister and brother-in-law their share when we get back. As for the rest, our family's top priority right now is to find a wife for my second brother. We'll save the money to build him a new house!"

"Besides, my two kids are getting on in years, and I need to send them to school in the county town. There are so many expenses!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Desheng nodded in relief and patted Lin Fan on the shoulder with some satisfaction.

The third child has indeed grown up. Since he knows what he's doing, it saves me from having to worry about him too much.

Based on Lin Fan's various behaviors in front of the two, Lin Desheng is still quite willing to believe him.

"Brother, here's fifty yuan, take it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan counted out fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Weihao.

Zhang Weihao was taken aback and instinctively wanted to refuse.

Before he could react, Lin Fan stuffed the money into his pocket and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, this money isn't for you."

“Take this back and keep it safe. Don’t spend it recklessly. My niece will need to pay tuition when she starts school. Consider this a token of my appreciation as her uncle.”

Logically speaking, since Lin Fan didn't pick these mushrooms alone, Zhang Weihao should indeed have a share of the money.

But Lin Fan knew that if he said it that way, Zhang Weihao would never accept it, so he had to change his approach.

Zhang Weihao's eyes flickered, and there was still some hesitation on his face.

Lin Desheng, who was standing to the side, patted him on the back with a smile and said, "Take it. Since it's a token of our appreciation from the third brother, just accept it. We're all family, don't be shy."

Zhang Weihao sniffed, silently lowered his head and put the money away, saying nothing more.

Seeing this, Lin Fan finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Alright, Dad, brother-in-law, we've been working hard all day. Let's find somewhere to eat first. After we finish eating, you wait here for me for a while. I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy Shuying a fish to help her recover!"

The three of them packed up their baskets, carried them on their backs, wandered around the area for a bit, and then went into a small restaurant.

This little restaurant is quite popular and bustling, so the food must be pretty good.

As soon as someone entered, the proprietress came over to greet them.

"What would you three like to eat?"

Do you have beef noodles?

When the customer asked for beef noodles, the proprietress chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, three bowls, please?"

"Yes, three bowls, and a pound of braised pork, please!"

My brother-in-law and father had been busy with me all day, so I naturally had to treat them to a good reward.

The proprietress turned around and called out towards the kitchen, then turned back to Lin Fan with a smile and said, "Three bowls of noodles are six yuan, and a pound of braised meat is twelve yuan, making it eighteen yuan in total!"

A pound of raw pork costs five or six yuan, so this price isn't expensive.

Lin Fan generously counted out eighteen yuan from his pocket and handed it to the proprietress, then invited the two of them to sit down.

Lin Desheng and Zhang Weihao clearly rarely eat at restaurants like this, and they were a bit reserved since they spent eighteen yuan on a single meal.

However, considering that they had just earned more than 140 yuan in one go, they didn't say much and gladly accepted Lin Fan's arrangement!

Before long, three bowls of hot and fragrant noodles were served on the table, along with a large plate of braised meat!

The three of them each added a spoonful of chili oil to their bowls and stirred it.

The noodles, coated in chili oil and thick broth, emitted an enticing aroma that made the three of them eager to dig in.

……

Not far away, Ye Fuhai frowned as he looked at Lin Fan, whom they had run into again.

"Hmph, you haven't grown any more in just a few days. You're even willing to spend eighteen yuan on a meal."

"I have no idea where this brat learned this skill of making a scene!"

Across from Ye Fuhai, Ye Shuping took a bite of rice, then suddenly felt a loss of appetite. She put down her chopsticks and said indifferently, "They're just selling wild mushrooms; they won't amount to much."

"Xiao Tian is going to go to university and do great things in the future. Earning a little bit of profit is nothing."

Ye Shuping didn't know why, but whenever she saw Lin Fan and his family of three sitting there eating noodles with such joyful expressions, Ye Tian's image would always unconsciously appear in her mind.

Ye Fuhai nodded fiercely and snorted, "This little genius looks like a rich man, unlike these peasants who are all rustic."

Ye Fuhai felt a little better when he thought of Ye Tian wearing a smart suit, looking elegant and polite.

Looking at Lin Fan's dusty, rustic figure, I felt inexplicably more at ease.

It seemed that only by comparing the two and seeing the difference between Lin Fan and Ye Tian could she feel at ease.

Although she didn't know where the inexplicable anxiety and irritability in her heart came from.

"Alright, we're strangers now, why bother with so much?"

"His life is at most limited to these eighteen-yuan meals. Let's go!"

Ye Shuping silently stood up, turned her head and left with an indifferent expression.

Lin Fan never noticed their presence from beginning to end. Of course, even if he had, he wouldn't have cared!

After lunch, Lin Fan asked Lin Desheng and Zhang Weihao to wait at the entrance of the small restaurant, while he went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

His wife needed more nourishment, so Lin Fan certainly wouldn't be stingy with his money. He planned to buy a few more fish to take home, so his wife could eat them and his family could eat them too. They would have fish soup in the morning, as eating porridge would be a bit too bland.

"Ouch!"

As soon as Lin Fan stepped into the corner of the supply and marketing cooperative, a man rushed out and the two bumped into each other.

The man stumbled from the impact, and Lin Fan instinctively steadied him, frowning as he asked, "Are you alright?"

Fortunately, the person realized that he had been walking too fast with his head down and hadn't been watching where he was going, so he stood up and apologized to Lin Fan, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. I'm sorry for bothering you!"

Lin Fan twitched his nose and smelled a fishy odor emanating from the man.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the man was around thirty years old, wearing leather shoes, with his hair neatly combed and styled with hair wax, and dressed in a sharp suit.

His complexion was dark and rough, which was extremely inconsistent with his attire. His palms were very white, but the backs of his hands were dark.

Lin Fan looked at this person, and a thought suddenly occurred to him.
