Chapter 238 Teaming Up to Deceive
Lin Long frowned: "I bought all of those myself."
“Then mine is what I earned myself, from doing business.”
The silver note was still in his hand, and his younger sister hadn't taken it yet. Lin Hu stared longingly at his sister.
"Cai Cai, you like your older brother's gift, but you don't like mine?"
"Do you think my gift is too tacky, that's why you don't like it?"
"I know, that must be it, but I..."
Before Lin Hu could finish speaking, Lin Cai quickly interrupted him: "No, Second Brother, you've misunderstood. I didn't."
"I like the gifts my older brother gave me, and I also like the gifts you gave me. I like all the gifts you gave me."
"Really? You really like them? That's wonderful! Keep these for now, and when I make a lot of money in the future, I'll give them all to you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Cai silently looked at the silver notes in her hand, wondering if she would make a lot of money in the future.
So... is all that she has... just small change?
In Lin Hu's eyes, this was indeed small change, because big money was gold, lots and lots of gold, that was what counted as big money.
When Lin Bao returned from outside, he learned that his younger sister had accepted a box of jewelry from his eldest brother and silver notes from his second brother, and he felt extremely jealous.
He sat unhappily in the main room, glancing at the other three people every now and then.
When they looked over, he snorted and turned his head away.
The other three heard this, and two of them showed disgust on their faces.
Lin Hu couldn't stand the way this grown man acted so naive and simple-minded, so he frowned and looked at Lin Bao: "Third brother, what are you doing?"
"You're making all this fuss, like a woman. Have you been doing this lately...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Bao immediately glared back: "What are you saying, Lin Lao Er?"
"Who's acting like a woman? Let me tell you, don't talk nonsense, or we'll have another fight."
They had been kneeling on the ground before, and the next afternoon they got into a fight. There was nothing wrong with their faces, but their bodies were covered in bruises.
"Get lost! Who wants to fight you? If I cripple you, I'll have to take care of you. Do you think I'm just sitting around doing nothing?"
Lin Hu disliked his younger brother more than he loved him; the two often clashed and would fight at the drop of a hat.
However, in their parents' eyes, as long as they didn't care about their lives, they could still take action occasionally.
Lin Hu started swearing without restraint. He had barely finished speaking when he was hit on the back of the head. He turned to look at Lin Long, but before he could ask anything, he heard the other say, "How old are you? Your mouth is still so filthy. Do you want me to clean it for you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hu realized that he was at home with his younger sister beside him.
What he just said is not something his younger sister should hear.
Lin Cai ignored what they were saying, put the gifts her two older brothers had given her together, and then asked them what was going on.
"What could be wrong? Nothing's wrong, just a minor problem." The speaker was Lin Long.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Hu, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement, indicating that his elder brother was right and absolutely correct.
Lin Cai didn't believe what they were saying at all. Looking at them, she said, word by word, "Second brother is missing, and eldest brother is also in trouble."
"When Third Brother went to find you, several days had already passed before you returned, and you didn't come back together."
The three brothers fell silent upon hearing this. They didn't know what to say; telling the truth just didn't feel right.
They could make up a story, but they hadn't exchanged any secret codes. What if the three of them said different things? That would be terrible!
Lin Cai knew there was something going on between them, but she never expected that these three people were still thinking about how to lie to her.
Seeing that they were silent, Lin Cai stood up and prepared to leave. If they didn't want to talk, they didn't have to; she didn't necessarily have to listen.
Upon seeing this, Lin Bao quickly stopped her: "Hey, little sister, can you please not leave? Even if you want to hear it, you have to let us think about it first!"
The other two nodded quickly upon hearing this. Lin Cai looked at them expressionlessly and said, "I'll give you time to think about it?"
"Are you going to think carefully about how to lie to me? How to lie to my parents?"
Upon hearing this, the three immediately shook their heads: "No, no, that's not what I meant. What I meant was..."
Lin Bao got stuck here, realizing he couldn't express himself anymore, because that was exactly what he meant.
The other two were the same; they were speechless, their eyes fixed on Lin Bao, hoping he could give them a reason.
But in the end, they were all disappointed. Lin Bao himself couldn't find a reason, let alone give them one!
It seemed they couldn't do it, and Lin Cai was about to leave again. Lin Bao quickly grabbed her, saying, "Little sister, little sister, my dear little sister, I'll tell you, okay?!"
Lin Bao couldn't take it anymore. His parents hadn't even come back yet, and his little sister was already gone. He figured that once his parents returned, they wouldn't have any good days left!
Upon hearing what Lin Bao said, Lin Hu wanted to go and beat him up. The third brother just couldn't hold back his anger; otherwise, he wouldn't have chickened out so quickly.
Lin Long had no objection to the third brother's actions, and even made a bowl of warm sugar water in the kitchen.
After listening to what they had experienced in the county those days, Lin Cai suddenly asked, "Who were the people who took the grain?"
The only people Lin Bao could snatch back without lifting a finger were people he knew. So who were those people he knew?
"How would I know who they were! I just thought they were pretty strong, and that my older brother and I definitely couldn't beat them, so I dragged my older brother away."
He lied about this matter and is now extremely guilty. After hearing this, Lin Long glanced at Lin Bao without showing any emotion.
Lin Bao continued to emphasize to his sister, "Little sister, what I'm saying is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask your older brother."
"My brother was with me that night, and he saw those people too..." Lin Bao looked at Lin Long as he said this: "Am I right, brother?"
Lin Long was dragged into this, but he couldn't expose it, so he could only nod in agreement: "Yes, you're right."
Lin Cai was still somewhat skeptical of what the two brothers said, and then asked, "When are you going back to town?"
Lin Bao said he had been back for two days and stayed at his second brother's place for two days, but unexpectedly his second brother suddenly returned the next morning.
The topic shifted to himself, and Lin Hu was a little taken aback, nodding subconsciously.
After realizing what Lin Cai had asked, he almost blurted out everything he had done.
