After the three of them were seated, Lin Xi took out a bright red notebook and two red envelopes from behind her back.

He spread out the notebook and poured out all the money from the red envelope.

The family was dumbfounded. Was this robbery?

"Family, this is my prize money. This 1,000 yuan is from participating in an essay contest, and this 1,000 yuan is from the manuscript fee I earned by submitting articles to journals. Oh, by the way, it was Teacher Su who helped me submit them. We should thank him properly."

When Lin Xi received the money, she decided to tell her family about it so that they wouldn't be shocked if she had to take out too much money at once in the future.

"Xiao Xi, have you been staying up late every day lately just to write articles?"

"Um... Grandma, I just couldn't stop writing. I'll be more careful with the time next time," Lin Xi said guiltily.

Lin Dayuan felt that his daughter was too sensible. She could have earned money without writing articles, but he was unable to provide her with a good life.

Lin Guiying felt even more sorry for her granddaughter. She knew how late her granddaughter stayed up every night, and she would see the light on in her bedroom almost every time she got up at night.

Lin Guojun thought to himself that he had bad eyesight and couldn't find anything good.

Lin Xi could tell what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions; she guessed that her tendency to fight internally was just like theirs.

Because we cherish things too much, we tend to overthink.

"Writing is my hobby. It's something I love to do, and I'm overjoyed."

"Making money so easily, isn't that great! Look, I've only been writing for a few days and I've already earned two months' salary for an average person. Who makes money as easily as I do!"

"Besides, it hasn't interfered with my studies. With more practice, maybe I can get a perfect score in Chinese next time."

Everyone felt a little better after hearing this.

Lin Guiying told her to put the money away and keep it for herself.

Lin Xi didn't refuse and put it in the drawer after returning to her room, since she would eventually use it on her family anyway.

The family's emotions came and went quickly. They picked up the certificate again and looked at it over and over, praising it as they looked at it.

Just as everyone was chatting animatedly, Lin Jing arrived with her homework.

He sat listlessly next to Lin Xi, looking worried, and said, "Grandma Lin, do you know about magnetic therapy beds?"

"I know, a few days ago a man came to the village and said that as long as you listen to a lecture, you can get eggs. I go to listen every day. He talked about the magnetic therapy bed."

"Grandma, you can take the eggs, but don't believe what he says, it's all a lie," Lin Xi quickly reminded her.

Isn't this just a scam to cheat the elderly out of their money? They take advantage of the elderly's desire to get something for nothing, attracting them with free eggs and then brainwashing them. Once brainwashed, they ignore their families' objections and spend money on all sorts of useless products.

Such cases are everywhere in later generations; she can name one off the top of her head.

I never imagined that this method existed now, and that it would still be so effective in later generations.

Alas, the methods remain effective over time, but the scammers keep coming up with new tricks.

"Am I that stupid? He talked a good game, saying he could cure any disease."

If it were that effective, hospitals would be packed with people every day; they'd go bankrupt long ago.

"If it weren't for the eggs I could get, I wouldn't listen to his nonsense."

At this moment, Lin Jing said helplessly, "My grandma is such a silly person. She insisted on buying it, saying it could cure her back pain."

Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, Grandma Liu had been brainwashed. Her next step was to ask her family for money.

Sure enough, Lin Jing continued, "But a bed costs five thousand, and Grandma doesn't have that much money, so she called my parents to ask for the money."

Lin Jing's parents definitely didn't give it; this sounds like a lie.

"Then my parents didn't give it to her, and advised my grandma not to believe in these things, and to take her to the hospital next time they came back."

Grandma Liu must feel that her son is unfilial, which could easily lead to parent-child conflicts.

"I've tried to persuade my grandma, but she won't believe me. She gets angry if I say too much. What should I do?"

"Why don't you go and try to persuade my grandma? Xiaoxi, my grandma likes you the most, why don't you give it a try?"

Lin Jing was on the verge of tears; she felt as if her grandmother had become a completely different person.

"Sister, don't worry, she won't listen to anyone's advice now."

Because she genuinely believes this product can cure her illness, we need to address the root of the problem and let her know that this product is ineffective.

"I think not only her grandmother believed it, but others also believed it to some extent. The main reason is that the man found an old man, who was so lame on the first day that he couldn't get out of bed, but by the third day he could walk normally."

“I told him it was a shill, and the old man said he didn’t know the man before,” Lin Guiying said, slapping her thighs angrily.

Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go and find out what's going on tomorrow. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure you win every battle."

Lin Jing had no other choice but to leave it at that for now and went off to study absentmindedly.

The next day at noon, Lin Xi took advantage of her lunch break to attend a lecture with her grandmother.

When a man is full of passion, he talks with great enthusiasm and passion.

It provides relief from lower back and leg pain in just one day, resolves the root cause within a month, and long-term use can even prolong life.

It can be used by men, women, young and old; buy one bed and the whole family benefits.

They even had an older woman try it out. After she lay down, the man turned on the switch, and she immediately felt a tingling sensation all over her body. The man said this was to unblock her meridians...

A barrage of technical jargon left the elderly folks completely bewildered.

After the woman went downstairs, everyone asked her how she felt. She thought for a moment and said, "Besides the heat and numbness, I didn't feel anything."

The man quickly explained that the woman's body was severely congested and had too much coldness, so she needed to use it for a long time.

Lin Xi could see clearly that the tingling sensation was obviously from being electrocuted, only the current was relatively small.

This bed is dangerous; if the current is too high, it could electrocute someone.

Lin Xi whispered what had happened to her grandmother.

Upon hearing this, Lin Guiying was furious. This man not only cheated her out of money but also harmed her. She stood up abruptly, ready to expose the swindler.

Lin Xi quickly pulled her grandmother down and covered her mouth, "Grandma, it's no use saying this, we have no evidence." "Besides, that swindler must have anticipated this situation and figured out how to resolve it."

"In that case, we'll not only expose ourselves, but we'll also put him on his guard."

"What can we do? We can't just watch him lie!" Lin Guiying was furious.

Lin Xi quickly calmed her grandmother down, telling her not to act rashly and that they would discuss it together when she came home from school.

It was too upsetting for her not to talk about this, so Lin Guiying simply shut her mouth and stopped speaking, otherwise she would have exposed him if she opened her mouth.

The man's ramblings were infuriating to Lin Guiying, while the others listened intently.

Lin Xi frowned as she looked at the situation, sighing inwardly at how honest the people in their village were and how poor their awareness of fraud prevention was.

Once the man had built up the mood, he said that there was only one bed left, and he had managed to get it from the manufacturer. Anyone who wanted to buy it should have the money ready in advance. Tomorrow was the last day; he wouldn't be coming back the day after.

Liu Shufen, who was below, was extremely anxious upon hearing this, thinking that she should call her son when she got home.

The others were also making a lot of noise.

"Master, could you give me a discount? My family really doesn't have that much money."

"Master, one bed isn't enough. Could you please request a few more?"

"Yes, I'm relying on this bed for treatment."

……

Wow, he's become a master? This guy is really good at conning people, he must be a master swindler.

Liu Shufen went straight onto the stage and grabbed the master, saying, "Master, my son doesn't agree to buy it. Please give me a few more days."

Lin Guiying was furious to see her old best friend begging that swindler, so she rushed over and pulled her down.

“Ying, let me buy it. My back pain isn’t responding to medication, and the hospital won’t perform surgery. I think this bed might be helpful.”

Lin Guiying was about to tell her the truth.

Lin Xi knew what her grandmother was going to say as soon as she opened her mouth, so she tugged at her grandmother's arm.

The old lady reluctantly shut her mouth again.
