'You're the one, Grandpa?' Lin Yun laughed.
This old man was none other than the one he met at the market yesterday morning, the one whose tricycle had been confiscated, and who had given the other person 3,000 yuan.
He was somewhat impressed by the old man's character. He could have knelt down to beg the law enforcement officers not to confiscate his tricycle, but the old man refused to take even a penny of the 3,000 yuan he offered. Later, it was only after his persistent persuasion, and even after he had slightly used his spiritual power to influence the old man, that the latter finally accepted the money.
What is yours is yours, and what is not yours is not yours. This kind of character is not something that ordinary people can have.
'Young man, I couldn't take the money you gave me last time, and I didn't know why at the time...' The old man hurriedly said, as if remembering something.
'Sir, I told you last time that the money is nothing to me, so you can keep it with peace of mind!' Lin Yun said with a smile.
'How is that possible? Young man, you must have said that because you wanted me to accept the money. You can't possibly earn much pulling vegetables like this, and it's all hard-earned money...' the old man shook his head.
'I don't have the money with me right now, but you can come home with me later and I'll give it to you...' the old man continued.
'Elder, didn't I tell you last time that my father's tricycle was also taken away? I just came back from outside. Now I'm helping my father to pull the vegetables from home to the city. No matter how much I earn, I can't just throw away the vegetables at home. My parents worked hard to grow them, it's not a matter of money...' Lin Yun laughed.
While talking, he once again released his spiritual power to slightly influence the old man.
He didn't want to argue with the old man about this any longer.
Three thousand yuan was really nothing to him, but it was very important to the old man. The old man's character was also worth the three thousand yuan.
'Hardly grown...not a matter of money...' The old man was taken aback and muttered.
'Young man, you...really are very good. There are really too few young people who can think like this nowadays...' the old man said with emotion.
'Forget about the money for now. Are you going into the city, young man? I'll help you push the cart. I'm older, but I still have some strength...' Then the old man looked at the cart of vegetables that Lin Yun was pulling, and said.
While talking, he had already started pushing the cart.
'Then thank you very much, sir!'
Lin Yun smiled when he saw this.
He did not refuse.
He knew that this old man was a very principled old man.
If he did not let the old man help push the cart, he was afraid that the old man would immediately take him to his house to get the money.
Although his spiritual power could influence some of the other person's decisions, his current spiritual power was not yet too strong, and this influence could not be too coercive.
Perhaps, if he used more spiritual power, he could force the old man to do what he wanted, but he did not want to do that, as it would also be very taxing on him.
This is just a trivial matter, there is no need to be like this.
Next, Lin Yun pulled the cart in front, and the old man pushed it from behind, talking all the way.
Because Lin Yun controlled the strength, the old man behind the cart did not feel tired. The old man was also very fit, and it was not laborious for him to walk. The two of them had a very pleasant chat all the way.
From the old man's words, Lin Yun knew that the other person was from a nearby village. He had two sons, two daughters, and a number of grandchildren, sons-in-law, and daughters-in-law. He lived with his two sons, and the family lived together for a period of time.
Because the two sons' homes were relatively close, he usually bought things for both families together.
With a large family, there is naturally a lot to buy, so he often goes to the wholesale market in a tricycle to buy some vegetables, fruits, and the like. Driving a tricycle over such a long distance saves some effort and doesn't require much electricity.
'It's you?' As they approached the city, a girl's voice suddenly came from the side, speaking in a deep voice.
'Li Yan?'
'Yan Yan?'
Lin Yun and the old man turned their heads and saw a girl riding an electric vehicle next to them, surprised and astonished.
This girl is precisely Lin Yun's blind date yesterday, Li Yan.
However, at the moment, the girl's face does not look very good.
'Lin Yun! Yesterday, during dinner, you didn't say a word the whole time, and I thought you were an honest person! Now, I realise that I underestimated you! You actually found my grandfather so quickly. Did you see that I rejected you and then try to get to me through my family?' Li Yan said with a composed, pretty face.
Because she was quite good-looking, she had encountered many boys pursuing her since she was young, and they had used all kinds of methods. She hated this kind of stalker the most, and someone who even went after her family.
Family is a very personal relationship, and I believe that very few people like it when someone they don't like goes after them through their family.
'Li Yan, you've misunderstood,' Lin Yun said indifferently.
He didn't expect that this old man was actually Li Yan's grandfather, but the other party obviously misunderstood him.
'It's fine if you don't admit it, or maybe my aunt didn't explain it clearly to you yesterday. Now, I'll explain it to you again. You're not my type, and you shouldn't use any means to get close to me. Even if my grandfather, my parents, and everyone else approves of you, I won't. This kind of pursuit will only make me feel disgusted!' Li Yan said coldly.
'Yan Yan, how can you say that? Hurry up and apologize to him!' Hearing Li Yan's words, the old man trembled with anger.
Just now, he was very happy when he saw his granddaughter come over. He suddenly thought that he had not yet asked Lin Yun if he had a girlfriend. If not, he thought he could introduce the two of them. Anyway, he really liked Lin Yun, and if Lin Yun could be with his granddaughter, that would be perfect.
He didn't expect Lin Yun and Li Yan to actually know each other, and Li Yan even said such hurtful things.
Lin Yun was also a little amused.
He didn't know where this girl got the confidence to say such things.
Perhaps the other person is a bit prettier?
But in his opinion, she is not even one-tenth as pretty as Xia Qingqing.
He had the intention of saying that he had a girlfriend and telling the other person not to be narcissistic, but seeing the old man so angry, he sighed slightly.
Anyway, he and this old man had a pretty good exchange along the way, and this girl is the old man's granddaughter, so he will give the old man face.
Moreover, shouldn't a man be magnanimous?
'I think you've misunderstood. I knew your grandfather before I met you for dinner,' Lin Yun shook his head.
Then, Lin Yun looked at the old man and smiled, 'Sir, we're almost in the city, so you don't need to help anymore. We can chat again next time we meet!'
After saying that, Lin Yun turned around, put a little force into his feet, and pulled the cart, quickly leaving.
At this time, Li Yan realized that the cart with the vegetables was actually Lin Yun's.
Isn't it?
Yesterday, when she and her best friend went out to dinner with Lin Yun, Lin Yun was pulling a cart. However, at that time, Lin Yun was pulling an empty cart, and now he was pulling a full one, so she didn't recognise it at once.
Finding this out, she was even more angry.
She also thought that Lin Yun was using the opportunity to help her grandfather push the cart to get closer to her grandfather.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that her grandfather was the one helping the other person push the cart, which made her think even more that Lin Yun was not an ordinary person and was not so honest, and she rejected this boy even more.
