Chapter 167

“We’ve already returned to our hometown, and with such a big family, including my father-in-law and mother-in-law, just one small Willing van definitely won’t suffice. If we need to go out, it’s too inconvenient.”

This time, after listening, Li Jinwen did something quite rare—he didn’t say anything but merely nodded her head.

Having money at home and indeed having more people, buying another car was the right thing to do.

Actually, in big cities, you really don’t need a car.

Cabs, ride-hailing, buses, subways—all are readily available. Driving, by contrast, might be less convenient with all the traffic jams not to mention the hassle of finding a parking space.

A 5-minute drive, a half-hour in a traffic jam, and another half-hour to park is quite normal.

Life in the countryside is different, though—without a car, it’s truly inconvenient.

Especially since parents and the younger sister also need to go to the hospital regularly for check-ups.

That small Willing van might fit everyone if we squeeze, but the space is really too cramped, making it hard for those in the back to even turn around.

Moreover…

Li Jinwen knew, when they first bought the small Willing van, Lin Mo must have felt unsatisfied in his heart.

Even though Lin Mo verbally said it didn’t matter, how could Li Jinwen not understand Lin Mo’s inner feelings?

Which man doesn’t want to own a better car?

Lin Mo was no exception!

Now that they had money, and since that money was earned through Lin Mo’s hard work, she certainly wouldn’t dampen Lin Mo’s excitement.

Li Jinwen had that much sense.

Actually, putting everything else aside, just the fact that Lin Mo still consulted her opinion, asking whether she agreed, made her very, very happy.

At least… compared to before, her husband hadn’t changed at all!

No matter whether it was significant or trivial, he would discuss it with her!

“No problem at all!”

Li Jinwen nodded repeatedly, expressing her agreement enthusiastically, “What kind of car are you thinking of buying? I think if we are going to buy one this time, it has to be one with more space, preferably a seven-seater, so it would be convenient for our whole family to travel together in the future!” “Mom and Dad’s health has recovered very well, so when you have the time, we can take them out more often, to see different places! Haven’t they often said that when they get old, they want to go out and see the world?”

“Mhm!”

Satisfied with his wife’s agreement, Lin Mo smiled happily.

As for which car to buy?

Lin Mo hadn’t really made up his mind yet.

If they were going to buy a seven-seater…

An MPV?

Or a large SUV?

He didn’t have too good an idea at the moment.

Just then, seeing the waiter carrying over several bowls of noodles, Lin Mo suggested, “Let’s eat first, and after we’re done, we can go to the 4s shop in Yuhang and take a look, then decide what car to buy.”

“We don’t have much left to do here in Yuhang, and after buying the car, I can drive you guys back directly.”

Yuhang wasn’t far from Lin Mo’s hometown—it would only take a few hours via the expressway.

“Air? Drive us back?”

Li Jinwen was slightly taken aback and asked, “What’s up? Aren’t you staying at home?”

“Mhm.”

Lin Mo nodded and conveyed the pretext he had prepared, “I forgot to tell you, but I need to rush to Rakshasa City to meet Tai Uncle, and I also have to check on the hospital. Director Song contacted me a couple of days ago, saying that Zhang Li might wake up soon.”

“That’s true.”

Li Jinwen nodded, having no objections to Lin Mo’s explanation, “You should go, but how long do you plan to be away? New Year’s is just two weeks away.” “I’ll definitely come home for the New Year.”

Lin Mo laughed, “Even if I’m busy, I’ll only start again after the New Year… Honey, this is what I’m thinking, while Tai Uncle is willing to guide me, I want to learn more and earn more. Once we have a bit more money, I’ll completely slack off, be a salted fish, haha, and then we can travel every day and eat our way through Grand Xia Country!”

“Look at you, aiming so high!”

Li Jinwen teased with a laugh but also looked forward to that day’s arrival.

She and Lin Mo shared the same outlook on life—they had no grand ambitions and didn’t covet vast wealth. Money—as long as it was sufficient, that was fine. The most important thing was to have the family safe and happy.

“What did I just hear? Dad, Mom, are you planning to travel and eat your way through Grand Xia Country?”

Lin Xiaoxiao, who had just returned from the bathroom, overheard Lin Mo and Li Jinwen’s conversation and immediately became excited, “I want to go too! When are we going?”

“Don’t worry, we’ll take you with us when it’s time!”

“Quick, let’s eat the noodles, then go buyacar~~”

“Air? Are we buying another car? Don’t we already have one?”

“Yes, this time we’re buying a bigger one, so we can take Grandpa, Grandma, and both sets of grandparents out for fun!”

“Awesome!!!”

The family of three smiled with joy in their eyes.

Li Jinwen and Lin Xiaoxiao were genuinely happy.

They were filled with beautiful ideas for the future.

But beneath Lin Mo’s smile lay an unnoticed heaviness.

Alone, he spread his arms wide, using his chest to shield all the storms away.

His body was already soaked through.

The cold wind was biting to the bone.

The future, though promising,

hinges on it remaining unspoiled.

To protect the smiles of his wife and daughter at this moment, he must completely defeat all crises within five months!

No matter how formidable the enemy might be!

“Whoever it is, dare not touch the sanctuary behind me!”

“Otherwise…”

Lin Mo’s eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible killing intent.

After finishing the noodles,

the family went straight to the largest car city in Yuhang to browse around.

They didn’t have a specific target in mind, just that the vehicle must be either a large SUV or an MPV model.
