Chapter 117: Which Excavator Technology is the Best
“In the little garden, dig and dig, plant little seeds, grow little flowers~ in the big big—”
The next morning at seven, Lin Mo was heating the Chinese medicine for himself and Liu Rushuang in the kitchen while singing Garden Planting Flowers with great passion, and his voice was not quiet at all.
Meanwhile, cousin Su He and Liu Rushuang were staring blankly at him while eating breakfast.
“Did he get stimulated by something? I didn’t do anything to him, did I?” Liu Rushuang looked at Su He beside her, asking with some confusion.
Cousin Su He took a deep breath, glared at her, and spat: “How would I know? You two have been secretly dealing behind my back lately. Who knows if you snuck into his bed in the middle of the night yesterday?”
“Injustice, injustice! I didn’t, I really didn’t! After he gave me a massage last night, I went back to the room with you to sleep. My stomach didn’t hurt, and I slept straight until morning. How could I have gone in the middle of the night?” Liu Rushuang waved her hands repeatedly, showing that today she was truly being wrongly accused.
Besides, did the great Emperor Rushuang ever need to explain herself to others?
If she wanted to go, she would go openly and righteously. Sneaking around was not her style.
“Heh~ whether you went or not, you know it in your heart.” Su He clearly did not believe her.
Last night he had been perfectly fine, yet first thing this morning he was like this. Saying nothing happened overnight? She would never believe it, even if beaten to death!
Liu Rushuang: “Oh heavens, please judge the loyal and the traitorous!”
Soon, Lin Mo finished heating the Chinese medicine for the two and brought it out to place on the table.
“Ahem, cousin, you’re in a good mood today, singing children’s songs already?” Su He asked.
Lin Mo: .
Hearing this, the corner of Lin Mo’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. Did he want to sing? Wasn’t it because of what he saw on his shopping page this morning?
【Zhengda Type-11 Light Machine Gun (crooked-handle); bullets 30; ￥2.29】
【Cold Dressed Zhe’ergen; ready to eat upon opening; ￥6.05】
【Which Excavator Technology is the Best; sing Garden Planting Flowers 10 times loudly in a public place, gain mastery in operating all excavator models; ￥21.5】
【Pig feed, one bag * 100 jin; direct from factory, rapid fattening, even drinking cold water makes pigs gain weight: ￥7.67】
To be honest, he hadn’t held much hope for these four options. After all, he had just drawn something good yesterday. Luck couldn’t possibly smile on him every single day, right?
As expected, things were quite ordinary.
He skipped the firearms directly. He didn’t even dare to choose a J-10C fighter jet, what use did he have for a crooked-handle light machine gun?
Zhe’ergen was something Sichuan girls liked, but did he really want to waste a shopping opportunity on that?
The pig feed was decent, but the quantity was too small. Just 100 jin—how many pigs could that feed? Unless he mixed it into protein powder and sold it to those skinny guys who wanted to bulk up. But that was a little immoral.
As for the excavator, of course that was good. After all, no man could resist the temptation of driving an excavator. It was something written in the genes. And not just driving one—mastering all models! Even if he didn’t necessarily need it, more skills never hurt when roaming the world.
It was just that the condition was a little ridiculous: singing Garden Planting Flowers ten times loudly in public. Wasn’t that just forcing him into social death?
He wasn’t a kindergarten teacher—where was he supposed to find kids?
Originally, he had planned to complete it during his morning exercise when buying breakfast outside. After all, he could just wear a mask, sing, and then run away. Who would recognize who?
But he had overestimated his thick skin. Looking at the bustling crowd, after building up courage multiple times, he still found himself unable to open his mouth. In the end, he had no choice but to grab breakfast and run home, which was how the earlier scene came about.
Better to lose face at home with just two people watching than to make a fool of himself outside in front of strangers.
“Well, not bad. Isn’t it just that joy brings a cheerful spirit?” Lin Mo chuckled awkwardly.
But when cousin Su He heard this, she understood it completely differently.
Joyful occasion? What joyful occasion?
Wedding night, topping the imperial exams, sweet rain after long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land?
Of these four, wasn’t the first the only one Lin Mo had a chance at?
At that thought, Su He suddenly snapped her gaze toward Liu Rushuang, who was still eating breakfast: “Still eating!!”
Liu Rushuang: ???
“If you won’t eat, then don’t. Come on, little brother, cheers!”
Liu Rushuang raised her Chinese medicine as a toast. Seeing this, Lin Mo smiled knowingly and raised his as well: “Cheers, fellow patient!”
Just as he was about to drink, Liu Rushuang stretched out her arm, wrapped it around his, and struck a pose as if they were drinking cross-cupped wine.
Lin Mo glanced at her, ignored it, and quickly built up courage before downing it in one go. Liu Rushuang did the same.
Then both of them immediately wore expressions of pain, their faces completely synchronized as they spoke.
Lin Mo: “Ugh~ ah~”
Liu Rushuang: “Ugh~ ah~”
Su He: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
“Cross-cupped wine, huh? Even your moves are so in sync, and you dare say nothing’s going on? You two even look like a married couple now!”
Both shook their heads: “No, it’s just tacit understanding~” x2
Su He: “You call this tacit understanding?”
So angry, cousin Su He smacked each of them once on the spot, then packed up and rushed off to work.
She simply couldn’t stay in this house anymore. Clearly, the two outsiders had come to stay at her place, yet they had teamed up to isolate her. Where was the justice in that?
Right before closing the door, she could still hear her cousin singing Dig and dig and dig—and that made her even angrier.
After Su He left for work, Liu Rushuang laughed so hard she almost fell over: “Alright, alright, stop singing already. By the way, you’re in such a good mood today. Could it be that your business plans are finally set?”
Yesterday, Lin Mo had already secured his startup funds. To be honest, she was also curious about what this little man planned to do.
Counting his own money, over five million yuan—that was no small amount. Enough to register a small company.
If he wanted to open a shop, the money was enough to rent a good storefront near the university. She just didn’t know what he intended to do.
Being suddenly interrupted made Lin Mo a little uncomfortable. He had only sung three times so far, and now he had to start over again. Damn woman.
But what could he do? She was his golden sponsor now.
“Yeah, it’s more or less ready. When I make money, I’ll treat you to something good,” Lin Mo said with a smile.
Last night, he had already found someone to teach him the basics, opened an account, and directly invested the money into the stock market.
The stocks were chosen at random anyway, since he couldn’t lose. The “interest,” that is, the profit, was fixed at 10. That meant his returns had nothing to do with which stock he chose, only with his principal.
But even so, to avoid drawing attention, he still chose a famous and stable stock with a large enough base that his five million investment wouldn’t attract notice.
“Is that so? Then I’ll be waiting. Maybe when your business grows bigger in the future, you can keep me, little brother. I don’t want to work hard anymore~ hehehe.”
As she said this, Liu Rushuang laughed at herself.
In the past, that was something people always said to her. After all, she was a real rich woman. Su He had said it more than once back in university.
But strangely enough, most of those who dared to say it to her were girls. Men? Only Lin Mo.
Hearing this, knowing she was teasing him, Lin Mo shook his head and smiled:
“Then you’ll be waiting a long time. My little ventures won’t catch up to your big family business anytime soon.”
It wasn’t false modesty. Even if he worked hard, he couldn’t possibly match a family like Liu Rushuang’s in the short term. After all, he didn’t have some god-tier tycoon system, or cashback system. His was just a mutated version of “Pinduoduo.”
What he got depended entirely on luck. What else could he do? Of course, he also wished he could, like Zhang Wei said, avoid eating beef. But reality didn’t allow it.
Right after saying that, Lin Mo suddenly thought of something, and changed his words: “Unless…”
“Unless what?”
Liu Rushuang asked curiously.
Lin Mo looked at her, his lips curling slightly: “Not keeping you, can’t afford that. Unless… keeping you for a night~”
Liu Rushuang froze for a moment, then quickly reacted. Her pretty face flushed, and she glared at him, spitting: “You! Looking for a beating, huh!”
Without caring that the floor was cold, she ran over barefoot and kicked him.
After Su He left, Lin Mo and Liu Rushuang did a bit of tidying up. After all, they couldn’t eat her food, drink her medicine, and then leave her to clean up as well.
At nine in the morning, the two carried the trash downstairs, ready to head to the company. But soon, they were both dumbfounded.
“Where’s your car?”
“I didn’t drive. Yesterday when I went back to school, I hitched a ride back in Sister Yuan’s McLaren.”
“Then why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“You didn’t ask either?”
For a moment, the two stared at each other, the atmosphere turning a bit awkward.
