Realm Overlord

Chapter 12 Time is a butcher's knife (various requests)

When I went out, I didn't expect my neighbor's Faxiao to be waiting at the entrance of the alley.

It has to be said that half a fish is quite powerful.

In the past, I would not get up and go out so early when I was young.

"Yudan, why did you get up so early today? We're not going the same way!"

Lin Qi smiled and said, grabbing the boy of the same age and walking onto the main street.

Fa Xiao's family is a small businessman, running two grocery stores, and his life is quite comfortable.

Don't underestimate small merchants who can run businesses in urban areas. It's not easy to make connections.

From what I hear, it seems that I am still related to a certain big family in the city.

Yadan was just given a nickname, his real name was Du Ruqi, and he went to the best private school in the city.

It's not that their family can't send him to a county school, or that they're reluctant to pay the expensive tuition, but they have already made plans for his future life.

When we were playing together in the past, Yadan had slipped up.

Their family has connections, and they can send him to a large commercial bank in the county for an internship, but not as a low-level clerk.

Even if it doesn't work, isn't there still a grocery store at home that can be inherited?

The same is true. The family's requirements for him are not high, as long as he can learn to read and write in a private school, and he can also calculate accounts.

Unlike the Lin Qi family, their parents sent the two brothers to the county school to build a better future, even if they tried to sell things.

Lin Qi and his younger brother Lin Fan can be said to be highly anticipated by their parents.

There is no way, given the current financial situation of the family, if neither of the two brothers can take the lead, the days to come will be particularly difficult.

Even if Lin Qi can take over his father Lin Cai's job in the county government, when will he be able to pay off the family's heavy debt?
The two brothers were under great pressure, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and persevere.

In terms of family background, the Lin Qi family is not as good as the Du Ruqi family.

Of course, apart from Lin Qi's mature psychology, Fa Xiao and his younger brother wouldn't care about this. They were close at home and naturally played together.

Before the two brothers went to the county school, they often had troubles with a few young children, such as digging out bird eggs and frying cow dung, which often caused all kinds of troubles.

"It wasn't the half fish your mother sent last night that caught my father's attention!"

Fa Xiao Du Ruqi yawned and said angrily: "You want me to help you ask, where do your fish come from?"

"You two brothers also know that my family's shop is connected to restaurants and taverns on the street!"

"Even some weddings and weddings require the supply of fresh fish. It is too expensive to sell in the market. If there is a way, it can be put into operation!"

As he spoke, a pair of small eyes showed a shrewd look, and he gave Lin Qi an "understanding" look.

He patted his pocket casually, making a crisp sound like the collision of copper plates.

Damn, you have the potential to be a profiteer at such a young age, and you will be even better when you grow up!
Lin Qi smiled in her heart, without any emotion.

I really thought he was only focused on studying and didn't understand anything about outside things.

Not to mention the large restaurants in the county, the raw material supply of the small taverns has been divided up by the gangs in the city. If you get involved rashly, you will easily get burned.

Paper can't hold fire!
Maybe, if you don't get it right in the end, you might end up getting a lot of trouble.

"elder brother!"

Brother Lin Fan suddenly spoke, his eyes full of enthusiasm.

Obviously, my brother was moved.

"No need!"

Not missing the flash of pride in his eyes, Lin Qi chuckled and said, "The boiled fish we ate at home yesterday and the two fish we sent out were all caught by me!"

Having said this, he looked at Fa Xiao and said with a smile: "We are all buddies, there is no need to be polite!"

"If you really want to learn how to catch fish and shrimps, just follow me when you take a rest!"

"Really?" Fa Xiao's face was filled with surprise, and the look on his face was very vivid.

Obviously, he didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.

"Of course it's true, what did I lie to you for?"

He gently tugged on his brother's sleeve to signal him not to speak.

Walking briskly through the main street at the entrance of the alley, the two brothers parted ways with their little one.

"elder brother……"

After the figure of the little duck egg disappeared from sight, the brother finally couldn't bear to speak, his little face was full of confusion and displeasure.

"Didn't I make it clear yesterday?"

Lin Qi said angrily: "You can eat the fish and shrimp you catch yourself, but you must not sell them outside, otherwise you will suffer a big disaster!"

"But Yadan is one of our own, he won't harm us!"

The younger brother argued: "Their family and ours are also neighbors, so we have a good relationship!"

"What a good idea?"

Lin Qi asked funnyly: "You should tell me!"

startled!
The brother was speechless for a moment, with a little embarrassment on his face.

Neighbors can also be divided into close ones and distant ones!

It just so happened that the Du family, where Duck Egg Du Ruqi lived, had a fairly average relationship with the Lin family.

The reason is very simple. They are engaged in different professions and have nothing in common.

The Du family's small business was doing well, and they were related to the county's wealthy families, so there was no need to fawn over the yamen officials.

In addition, the Lin family is in financial difficulty. Who among the neighbors doesn’t know?

There is a saying that goes like this: If you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives, but if you are poor in the city, no one cares about you!

How could a family like the Du family with connections, connections, and wealth have a close relationship with the Lin family? Isn't it funny?

No matter how good the relationship between the two brothers and Yadan Du Ruqi is, the elders of the Du family will not change their views on the Lin family.

Unless Lin Cai, the head of the Lin family, changes his bad habit of being addicted to playing cards.

The performance of the two brothers in the county school is outstanding!
“The neighbors all know what’s going on in our house!”

Seeing that his brother was a little embarrassed, Lin Qi started to explain: "Yadan's father saw the half fish that mother sent, and naturally knew that it was not bought!"

"It just so happens that his family has a way to sell the fish and shrimp we catch!"

At this point, Lin Qi's tone became a little leisurely: "Their family has connections and connections, and they are not afraid of scoundrels looking for trouble. Our family cannot withstand the trouble!"

"It's good to have fish to eat, but you still want to make money?"

But I felt quite sad in my heart, sighing that time is really a butcher's knife!

The innocent friendship in childhood changes when interests are involved.

Yadan is no longer the cheerful, heartless guy he used to be.

It has only been less than two years, but he has already started to help the family and provide children with gadgets. As expected, time flies and people change.

Unlike his depressed brother, Lin Qi didn't care too much about minor changes, and there was nothing to worry about.

He saw things very clearly: What was the purpose of making money, other than to improve his diet and increase his protein and meat intake?

If you can eat fresh fish every day, your goal has been achieved in disguise.

The most important goal is achieved, whether it can make money, what does it matter?

Anyway, Lin Qi had no intention of fussing.
