After finally arriving at the door of his house, Lin Ran put the rice and meat on the ground with relief, bowed his waist and shouted.

"Mom, sister, open the door quickly!"

"I'm coming!"

There was a response from inside, and then there was a sound of footsteps, and Yuan Xiufen led Lin Wanjun to open the door.

"Mom!"

"Xiaoran, what are you doing!"

Looking at the piles of rice and meat on the ground, Lin Wanjun was so frightened that she screamed.

There was also a flash of greed in the corner of his eyes!

When Mother Lin heard this, she walked up to him with a worried look on her face. She was suddenly frightened and her face suddenly changed.

Putting on the face of a strict mother, she shouted and asked with a serious face.

"Say!"

"Where did you get all this rice and meat?"

The pile of rice and meat weighing more than 20 kilograms next to Lin Ran was like a huge force at this moment, pressing hard on his mother's heart!

A hint of sadness flashed across Yuan Xiufen's brows. She obviously went out empty-handed, so why did she bring back so many things after just going for a walk?

Thinking again about the "ambition" that Lin Ran described to herself yesterday, an extremely bad premonition emerged in Yuan Xiufen's mind.

You know, children at this age are the easiest to learn bad things!

Especially after witnessing the predicament of the family, if this child follows those unscrupulous people outside and does something stupid, the family will be really doomed!

After all, not long ago, there was a kid from the alley next door who was considered to be both good in character and academics. However, he just followed a group of gangsters and spent his days going to dance halls, drinking and fighting. He committed crimes when he ran out of money. I heard that he was killed because of a robbery gone wrong. The man has been shot!

The child's parents were even more miserable. One jumped into a well and the other went insane. A good family was separated just like that!

Mother Lin's stern question immediately attracted Widow Wang next door.

Widow Wang, who came out twisting her waist, looked at the pile of things she dreamed of at Lin Ran's feet, and couldn't help but be shocked.

But think about the current situation of the Lin family, with a pile of foreign debts and a pot that can hardly be lifted, how can they still afford meat?

Looking at Yuan Xiufen's image of a strict mother, a drama of "children not learning well" has already been played out in Widow Wang's mind.

"Sister Yuan, what are you doing?"

"If the child makes mistakes, let's teach him slowly. Today's children are not as honest and kind as we used to be!"

With that said, Widow Wang walked up to Lin Ran and spoke earnestly.

"Xiao Ran, Aunt Wang watched you grow up. You are a filial child!"

"Aunt Wang knows that you want to reduce the burden on your family and improve their lives. You have a kind heart, but we have to take the right path, right?"

"You are still young and cannot control some things, but once this bad reputation spreads, the young man's life will be ruined!"

She kept mumbling, but Widow Wang’s eyes were fixed on the pile of meat, her eyes full of greed!

It seemed that Mrs. Lin would give her a few taels of meat for "hush money", and the little calculation in her heart was going loud!

Upon hearing what Widow Wang said in an embellished manner, Mother Lin's face changed with anger and her whole body started to tremble.

After all, I have devoted my whole life to this child!

Seeing Widow Wang's disgusting face, Lin Ran couldn't help it.

This guy in Xialin Village was famous for his loose tongue.

When she was not living a satisfactory life, she wished that everyone would be like her. Wherever there was gossip, she, the Queen Widow, was bound to be there.

The most important thing is that before her family went out, the widow Wang would borrow things from her family every two days.

Rice, cloth, oil and even towels are always borrowed and never returned!

As long as you can take advantage of it, you can't take advantage of it!

My mother is kind-hearted and sees her as a pitiful person, so she doesn't care too much.

But now, seeing the changes in his own family, and coming here to add insult to injury, Lin Ran couldn't bear it anymore.

"Aunt Wang, please don't slander me. I bought all this rice and meat!"

Lin Ran's retort made the village's tongue-tied woman even more passive.

"Hey, why don't you kid listen?"

"I, Wang Yingju, have walked more roads than you have eaten! Your family can't afford rice now, how can you get the money to buy so much meat!"

As she spoke, Widow Wang's face showed a hint of jealousy.

"Besides, I am doing this for your own good. If it were someone else, even if they were arrested and put in jail, I wouldn't bother to care!"

Seeing Widow Wang's increasingly aggressive look, Mother Lin had no choice but to put on a smile.

"Ju, you are right, but I believe our Xiaoran would not do such a thing."

When Yuan Xiufen said this, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Even though I believed in my heart that my son was not that kind of person, the rice and meat were still a bit unbelievable and seemed so feeble.

"Mom, don't worry, we in the Lin family are poor but ambitious. At least we won't do that kind of bullshit!"

"I went to town today and saw an old man moving by himself, so I went over to help him."

"After we finished, the uncle insisted on giving me money, but I didn't ask for it, so he asked me to see if there was anything useful in the house."

"I took a look and found that a school bag and a photo frame were of some use. Before I left, I remembered that Mom likes to grow flowers, so I grabbed another vase."

"You know mom, I've been good at history since I was a child. After I came out, I found out that the vase was an antique, so I took it to a pawn shop and sold it, so I had money to buy rice and meat!"

As he spoke, Lin Ran took off the old schoolbag he was carrying on his back and took out the photo frame inside, confirming what he just said.

But Lin Ran would not be stupid enough to tell an outsider exactly how much it was sold for.

If Wang Yingju hadn't been so aggressive and wanted to protect his mother, Lin Ran would have continued to hide his clumsiness!

In my two lifetimes, I have seen too many dark sides of human nature, and I am not that naive to do things like being in the limelight!

Seeing that the "human and physical evidence" were all there, Mother Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Yingju, on the other hand, remained unyielding: "How come you, kid, have learned how to lie?"

"How much can a broken vase be worth? Do you really think we are fools?"

Regarding Lin Ran's explanation, Wang Yingju didn't believe anything she said. After all, this kind of thing was beyond her cognitive scope.

"Forget it if you don't believe it. This is a cultural relic, not a broken earthen jar in your house!"

"My parents have taught me to read more since I was a child. If Aunt Wang doesn't understand, it's understandable~"

Wang Yingju, who was speechless after being so rebuffed by Lin Ran, could only curl her lips weakly.

"Hmph! Windfalls are bound to bring disasters. Young people, it's better to be honest and do your duty!"
