"Uncle, it's you right?" Lin Yun said with a smile.
This elderly man was none other than the gentleman he'd t yesterday morning at the farr's market, whose three-wheeler was confiscated. Lin Yun had given him three thousand yuan.
The old man's character had impressed him. For the sake of keeping his tricycle, he could kneel in front of the enforcent officers, but he had rejected the three thousand yuan from Lin Yun. It was only after Lin Yun had insisted, and subtly used ntal Strength to influence him, that he had accepted the money.
What belonged to soone, rightfully belonged to them, and what didn't, didn't. Not everyone possessed this kind of character.
"Young man, I cannot accept the money you gave last ti. I don't know why, but…" The elderly man said, recollecting sothing.
"Uncle, as I said before, that sum wasn't that significant for , you can rest assured and keep it!" Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
"How could that be? Young man, you're just saying that so I would accept the money. Earning a living by pulling a vegetable cart, you couldn't have made much. It's all hard-earned money…" The elderly man shook his head.
"I don't have that money on at the mont. After this, co ho with , and I'll give it to you…" The elderly man continued.
"Uncle, didn't I tell you? They also confiscated my dad's tricycle, right? I just ca back from outside and am now helping my dad deliver the vegetables from our ho to the city. No matter how much I earn, we can't just abandon the vegetables that my parents have painstakingly grown. It's not about the money…" Lin Yun said with a smile.
While talking, he released his ntal Strength again, subtly influencing the elderly man.
He didn't want to continue discussing this matter with the elderly man.
Three thousand yuan indeed ant little to him, but for the elderly man, it was very important. The elderly man's character was also worth the three thousand yuan Lin Yun had offered.
"Grown painstakingly... not about the money..." The elderly man murmured, stunned.
"Young man, you...you're really very good. Now, there are too few young people who think like this..." The elderly man sighed.
"Let's not talk about the money for now. Young man, are you going into town? I'll help you push the cart. My age might be getting on, but I still have so strength…" Then, the elderly man looked at the cart of vegetables Lin Yun was pulling and said.
After saying so, he began to push the cart.
"Thank you so much, Uncle!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Yun smiled.
He did not refuse.
He knew this elderly man was a very principled gentleman.
If he didn't let the elderly man help push the cart, the old man might imdiately take him to his house to get the money.
Although his ntal Strength could influence the decisions of others, his current ntal Strength was not strong enough to have too much compulsion.
He could use even more ntal Strength to force the elderly man to do sothing, but he didn't want to do that. Besides, it would consu too much energy on his part.
It was just a small matter, so there was no need.
As they continued, Lin Yun pulled the cart from the front, the elderly man pushed from behind, and they chatted along the way.
Because Lin Yun controlled his strength, the elderly man at the back did not feel tired. The elderly man's body was quite robust, and he walked quite effortlessly. They chatted pleasantly along the way.
From the elderly man's words, Lin Yun learned that the man lived in a nearby village. He had two sons and two daughters, several grandchildren, and many great-grandchildren. He lived with his sons in rotation.
The hos of his two sons were quite close, so he usually bought groceries for both families.
With many mouths to feed, naturally, he had to buy more groceries, so he regularly drove his tricycle to the wholesale market to buy vegetables, fruit, and the like. It saved so energy to drive his electric tricycle on such long roads, without spending much on electricity.
"Is that you?" When they were near the city, suddenly a female voice ca from the side, saying in a deep tone.
"Yan Lee?"
"Yanyan?"
Lin Yun and the old man turned their heads to see a girl on an electric bicycle nearby. They both responded with surprise and confusion.
The girl was Yan Lee, whom Lin Yun had t at the matchmaking eting yesterday.
However, she didn't look too pleased at the mont.
"Lin Yun! You didn't say much during dinner yesterday, and I thought you were a straightforward person! Now I realize I was mistaken! You managed to find my grandfather so quickly. Did you plan on getting in through my family after seeing reject you?" Yan Lee said, her pretty face stern.
Being attractive, she had encountered many male pursuers since childhood, each with various pursuing strategies, and she hated those who refused to take no for an answer, particularly the ones who involved her family.
Family relationships were private, and few people would appreciate soone they disliked using their family to pursue them.
"Yan Lee, there's a misunderstanding." Lin Yun said calmly.
He had not expected that the elderly man was Yan Lee's grandfather, but she was clearly misinterpreting the situation.
"Whether you admit it or not, maybe my Aunt didn't explain it to you clearly yesterday. Now, I'll say it again: you are not my type. And you should not try to get close to by any ans. Even if my grandfather and my parents completely accept you, I won't. Your pursuit only disgusts !" Yan Lee stated coldly.
"Yanyan, why are you speaking like that? Apologize to him right away!" On hearing Yan Lee's words, the elderly man started trembling with anger.
Initially, he had been delighted to see his granddaughter coming. Upon thinking that he hadn't asked Lin Yun if he had a girlfriend, he thought about making introductions; he really thought highly of Lin Yun. If Lin Yun and his granddaughter could be together, nothing could be better.
He hadn't anticipated that Lin Yun and Yan Lee knew each other and that Yan Lee would say such hurtful things.
Lin Yun was both amused and irritated.
He didn't know why this girl possessed such confidence to say such words.
Maybe because she was sowhat attractive?
However, in his opinion, she was rely ordinary and not even one-tenth as attractive as Xia Qingqing.
He wanted to tell her he had a girlfriend and advise her not to be so self-absorbed, but on seeing how angry the elderly man looked, he let out a sigh.
No matter what, he had a decent exchange with the old man all the way. Since this girl was the old man's granddaughter, he decided to give her a break.
Also, should a man be a bit magnanimous?
"You've misunderstood. I knew your grandfather before we had dinner together." Lin Yun shook his head with a sigh.
Then, looking at the elderly man, Lin Yun smiled and said, "Uncle, we're nearly in town. You don't need to help anymore. If we et again, we'll chat."
After that, Lin Yun turned around, exerted a little force with his feet, pulled the cart, and quickly left.
Only then did Yan Lee notice that the cart of vegetables was actually Lin Yun's.
Wasn't it?
Yesterday when she had dined with her friend and Lin Yun, Lin Yun was pulling an empty cart. Now he was pulling a full one, so she didn't recognize it imdiately.
Upon realizing this, she beca even angrier.
Initially, she had thought that Lin Yun was using the act of helping her grandfather pull the cart to get into her grandfather's good graces.
But it turned out that it was her grandfather who was helping Lin Yun with the cart. This led her to believe that Lin Yun was not as simple and straightforward as he seed, making her even more resistant to him.
