Chapter 377

Shopkeeper Zhang was stoned there, but instantly laughed together with Ling Jingxuan and others. The way everyone looked at Ling Wen was affectionately. Only Ling Wen put wrinkles in his brows and said like a little adult, “Uncle Zhang, that’s not right. If it’s really as much as countless, then I will feel a lot secure, I may even wake up from laughing at night.”

“Ha ha…”

As those words were out, others laughed even harder, some were even unable to stand. A little moneygrubber is a little moneygrubber. Obviously they were already landlord-level figures through the whole Datong Town or even the whole Qingyang County, he still hadn’t change a bit. Every time when talking about money, he’d expose his true self. Fortunately, he was no longer that stingy like before, and kept saying something like this is too expensive and that is too pricy, I don’t wann buy it. Although when there was a big spending, his little face was still as puffy as a meat stuffed bun.

“Stop laughing. What’s so funny?”

Face reddened, Ling Wen said angrily while holding his hands on his hips. Others hurriedly cover their mouths, but their shuddering shoulders already sold them out. Ling Wen ignored them and asked Shopkeeper Zhang, “Uncle Zhang, you still didn’t say how much it is.”

He was very stubborn about money.

“Well, at present, only court of each prefecture is purchasing mushrooms. Those civilians dare not pick them randomly. As far as I know, it looks like fifty copper coins one jin, two or three times more expensive than pork. You can make a calculation.”

Trying hard to suppress a smile, Shopkeeper Zhang said as calm as possible, in fact, he quite liked Ling Jingxuan’s two little buns, vivid characters, sensible and well-behaved. If he had such a son, he’d spoil him into the sky!”

“Well, one jin fifty copper coins, ten jin five hundred, twenty jin one tael of silver, two hundred jin ten taels of silver, two thousand jin one hundred taels. Daddy said we may grow ten thousand jin this time, then isn’t it five hundred taels? And daddy said, we’ll harvest a certain amount everyday, plus, Factory Number Two is also taking time to grow more…”

Hearing his words, Ling Wen moved his fingers with a long string of babbling, suddenly raised his head with a total face of excitement, “Daddy, we can earn at least two thousand taels before the Spring Festival.”

A lot of silver let a smile bloom on his little face, two eyes curved completed into the crescent shape. There only more than one month till the Spring Festival. Except the mushrooms, their big pigs also reach the butchering size. That was all money! They’d definitely enjoy a happy Spring Festival this year!

“Haha…now can you rest assured?”

Ling Jingxuan couldn’t help but reach out and pinch his face, in fact, that was just some small money, but as long as his little bun was happy.

“Hmm.”

Meeting his gaze, Ling Wen nodded heavily, then frowned as if thinking of something, “It would be better if daddy stops blowing money.”

Heaven knows how sorry he felt when he saw daddy hired so many people to get the back-flowed sea water out of the saline-alkali land. Though daddy had promised him that after the sea water wore off, they could definitely grow things out of it, before he could witness it with his own eyes, he still felt worried. That was over fifty thousand taels of silver! If they played ducks a drakes, it would be like cutting his flesh.

“Er…Well, Xiaowen, I told you…”

Ling Jingxuan felt so helpless. Why his blowing money thing again? As he was about to teach him a lesson about rate of return on investment, Ling Jingxuan cut in and continued, “Money is to be spend. Even if you put it there, it couldn’t give birth to more money. As long as we keep investing on things could we earn more money, right?”

“Well…yeah!”

Speechlessness crawled on his forehead, Ling Jingxuan couldn’t help having a twitch of his mouth. So he could already recites his words backwards fluently now…

“I don’t object to daddy’s making money by investing, but daddy, can’t you play it steady? Every time, you’d directly empty our whole family’s wealth, as your son, I am really scared.”

The first time, buying so much land to build houses, the second time, buying so much wasteland, every time, it nearly scared the sh*t out of him. Although daddy could earn it back soon, he still felt afraid. What if daddy failed next time? So, he wanted to save money as much as he could. If daddy really failed some day, at least, his money would last them for some time.

Having not been nagged by his son for long, Ling Jingxuan felt a little unadapted. After quite a while, he said dryly, “That’s because I have 100% confidence in things I do. All right, son, I promise you. I won’t empty our family wealth next time. Contented now?”

The big bun felt panicked when he had no money in hands and he neglected it. So, he’d better not spend the money at home in the future. Fortunately his man was super rich, so he would still do whatever he wanted to do and didn’t have to consider so much.

“Well, that’s just the way it is. I’m glad you like making money, but shouldn’t we always have some money flow at hands? What if we are in dire need of money some day? Isn’t it reasonable?”

It had been long each to see the scene of son lessoning his daddy. Except the pathetic Ling Jingxuan, basically everyone on spot snickered. Especially the small bun Ling Wu who often watched such a scene. He laughed the hardest, and also admired his elder brother from the deep of his heart. Having made up his mind to listen to his elder brother’s words, he really didn’t want to be lessoned like that some day.

“Yes, yes, yes, what you said is absolutely right. Daddy promises that I will never make you worry. Can’t you spare daddy now?”

Reaching out to put him on his lap, Ling Jingxuan surrendered helplessly. That was his little bun, besides, he was really saying those for his good and the whole family’s good. He just wondered who would dare to marry him. Such stingy personality, maybe he’d be also stingy about the betrothal presents! Really hope that some day someone could subdue him!

Ling Jingxuan would never know that actually the little bun’s ‘Nemesis’ was already here, it was just they still didn’t notice.
