LOT -Chapter 343 The True Ending!

Letting kids spend money to treat them made Peacock and Silly Beauty feel a little embarrassed.

“Ah, how can we let children treat us? It’s all our fault for not bringing money today. Next time, when Uncle brings money, I’ll buy you lots of snacks, okay?”

Peacock even patted his coin pouch, his face full of regret.

Silly Beauty nodded along beside him. “That’s right, that’s right. Next time on your birthdays, we’ll buy you presents. Whatever you like, we’ll buy it.”

Looking at these two unreliable adults, Lin Jin and Lin Ze sighed at the same time.

They had heard this kind of talk countless times already. Anyone who could get along with their little aunt (their aunt on the maternal side) usually had a personality very similar to hers.

“There’s no need for the two uncles to be polite. This is just a small amount of money,” Lin Jin said seriously. “When we went out, Grandpa, Grandma, and Father and Mother all stuffed money into our pockets, so you really don’t have to worry.”

Every time these two kids went out, they carried quite a bit of money. Mainly because Lin Mo was the type who lost things all the time, and Bai Xiao never paid much attention either—both of them often went out without money.

In the past, when the two of them went out to play, they usually bought things on credit. When they had money, they paid it back; when they didn’t, they put it on credit and paid next time.

After these two kids came along, taking them out was like bringing along two little wallets—convenient and obedient. They could even help carry things after shopping. Perfect!

Lin Mo and Bai Xiao patted their full bellies, completely satisfied.

“Oh please, my little nephew and little nephew-by-marriage are loaded. They have more money than the two of you combined. You can keep your little pocket change,” Lin Mo said smugly.

Peacock and Silly Beauty: “……”

Lin Mo continued stabbing them right in the heart. “I’ve noticed that ever since you two became officials, you’ve gotten poorer and poorer. Look at the clothes you’re wearing. Back then, the four of us were so glorious. Now you two are totally down and out.”

The fabric of their clothes wasn’t even as good as before. Back then they had been so flashy and dazzling.

Qin Zheng sighed, his face full of sorrow. “There’s nothing we can do. Our parents said that now we’re the pillars of the family, so it’s our turn to earn money for them to spend. And our official salaries are really low. Before, we could eat good food outside every day. Now, being able to go out once every two or three days is already pretty good.”

Although their families weren’t short on money, ever since they stepped onto the official path, their parents no longer allowed them to use expensive items all the time, saying it would look bad when going out.

They really didn’t think there was anything bad about it. Wasn’t Little Lord Lin also an official? She still dressed brightly every day.

Sure, her clothes were always loose and messy, but you could tell they were definitely not cheap. Why was the difference between parents so huge?

Looking at their expressions, Lin Mo silently mourned for them.

Too miserable. Becoming officials actually lowered their quality of life. Compared like this, she was doing pretty well.

Looking at her adorable little nephew and little nephew-by-marriage staring at her with big round eyes, Lin Mo casually pinched their cheeks and said happily, “Don’t worry. In the future, even if you become officials, you can wear whatever you want. If your parents don’t give you money, come find me—I’m rich!”

The two kids hesitated, wanting to say something. Sure, she said it like that, but they had heard their parents say that their little aunt (little aunt-in-law) couldn’t save money at all—whatever she had, she spent.

Although she had plenty of assets, they were basically managed by Grandpa and Grandma. Their parents had even said that when Grandpa and Grandma got old, they would manage her assets on her behalf. And when they got old, the responsibility would fall to the two of them. In any case, it must never be handed directly to her, or she’d squander it all.

But seeing their little aunt (little aunt-in-law) looking so smug, they decided to swallow those words back down.

Lin Mo, who hadn’t drunk any alcohol, was still feeling lightheaded. “If I die someday, I’ll leave all my money to you. You’ll be my first heirs!”

The two kids: “……”

Bai Xiao: 【Then we’d better be careful. We absolutely can’t let the two kids inherit a mountain of debt—that wouldn’t do.】

Lin Mo thought about it seriously. 【That won’t happen, right? No matter what, I shouldn’t have debts. When we get back, I’ll ask Father and Mother if I owe anyone money.】

At most, she just ate and drank outside. How much could that cost? Compared to those playboys, her spending was nothing.

Looking at their unreliable little aunt (little aunt-in-law) and little uncle-in-law, the two kids sighed in unison.

Sigh… no wonder Father and Mother said the pressure on them would be huge in the future. How could it not be huge?

No wonder Father told them to study hard and最好 become high-ranking officials. If they didn’t climb high enough, they wouldn’t be able to cover for their trouble-making little aunt (little aunt-in-law).

As they ate and drank, the sun quickly set. After saying goodbye to Peacock and Silly Beauty, Lin Mo and Bai Xiao each took one child by the hand and headed home.

The street vendors began packing up. Lin Mo and Bai Xiao walked down the street holding the children’s hands, the setting sun stretching their shadows long and long.

Lin Mo said, “Rou Rou, Dou Dou, don’t worry. I’ll definitely leave you a huge inheritance.”

Lin Jin said helplessly, “Little Aunt, can you stop calling me by my nickname? Who has a nickname called ‘Rou Rou’?”

Lin Ze chimed in, “Exactly! Last time you came to pick us up from school and called us that, people laughed at our nicknames.”

Lin Mo bristled. “Who dared to laugh at you? Tell me! If I can’t hit kids, I can still hit their adults. Tell me quickly—tomorrow I’ll go knock on their door!”

Bai Xiao: 【I know, I know. It was that distant cousin of yours—the Grand Tutor’s grandson.】

Lin Mo: 【Oh, my elder brother’s family? That’s easy then. My elder brother’s grandson has to call me Grandma, and call my nephew and nephew-by-marriage ‘Uncle’.】

Lin Jin and Lin Ze stared with their mouths slightly open, dumbfounded. Their seniority was that high?!

So next time someone laughed at them, they could suppress them with seniority. Thinking about it like that felt pretty great.

Lin Mo had already started plotting how to pick a fight with the Grand Tutor. So what if he was her elder brother? He still couldn’t bully the kids of her family—hmph!

At that very moment, the Grand Tutor, who was teaching his grandson to write, suddenly sneezed.

That chilly feeling on the back of his neck—he hadn’t felt it in a long time. Especially such a strangely familiar feeling…

The four of them chatted all the way home. Lin Mo’s laughter never stopped. Bai Xiao looked at Lin Mo with a face full of smiles, while the two kids looked at her with helpless expressions. The scene was peaceful and warm.

The chaotic (happy and joyful) days went on, and Lin Mo’s story continued as well. In this lifetime, she would live happily, carefree, safe, and smooth.

Optimistic and cheerful people will eventually be rewarded by life. May everyone be like our Little Lord Lin—happy every day, living a full and blissful life.
