Chapter 20: 21

Chapter 21- Silly Lin Amo

Wu Qingyuan looked at Lin Amo, who was covering his face in front of him, and dared not raise his head, an unspeakably fond smile came out in his heart. 

He told himself that he was still very accurate in assessing people, but his skills didn’t seem to work on Lin Amo. The boy seemed to be more alert than he thought, and a little bit distressingly smart, more than people he assumed he would be.

The situation just now surprised him a bit.

 

 

But despite being smart, when doing risky things some reactions aren’t too unreasonable. At this moment though, the action of hiding his face and shaking his head to deny makes people laugh- he seemed a bit dumb when you look at it.

“If you are not Lin Amo, then why do you call me Brother Wu?” 

Wu Qingyuan couldn’t help but stretch out one hand to take the cloth towel off his head, and at the same time, he grabbed his hand with his other hand and didn’t let it go. He could guarantee that as soon as he let go, this guy would definitely run.

 

“Brother Wu, why are you here, okay, what a coincidence…”

The cloth towel on his head was gone, and the lie was exposed, Lin Amo had to bite the bullet and lift his head, forcing himself to pull the corners of his mouth and smile.

Although he is smiling, the annoyed emotion in his eyes can well express the shadowy area in his heart at this moment. Why is Brother Wu here!?

 

“Unfortunately, I saw you come here first, and then I followed. Don’t you have anything to say to me? For example, what are you doing here? I asked you to come to town this morning- why did you lie to me…?”

Wu Qingyuan explained seriously and pretended to question seriously.

In fact, there is no need to answer the latter question at all. He is not someone as petty and doesn’t really care about that at all, but he wants to amuse him at the moment. The boy’s silly appearance is so funny.

 

“…” 

As soon as he finished his question, the look of annoyance in Lin Amo’s eyes became heavier, and he realized that he could not answer. Looking at him with a guilty conscience, his eyes began to flutter, obviously intending to swallow his pride and hit his past self.

Wu Qingyuan pursed his lips slightly, and looked at him for a while, only then did he smile at the corner of his eyes, let go of him, and spoke slowly.

“If you don’t tell me, I won’t force you. This is a personal issue, but I’m unsure about one thing. I think I can ask your father for advice. They say that the elders eat more salt than the younger ones. I am thinking of what you’re doing here at this building, he can definitely help me answer it, Amo, don’t you think so?”

“I- I just-was just…” 

In less than half a minute, he succeeded in seeing the colorful changes in the expression of the teenager, and both ears were pulled down like a dog, and he nodded aggrievedly to accept the trial and confessed honestly.

In fact, the general matter was similar to what he had heard from the gatekeeper. Lin Amo ran to the Drunken Flower House to make money from the gers and women here.

 

Of course, it would much better for him to say it personally. For fear that Wu Qingyuan would go back to file a complaint, he had a guilty conscience and could only honestly explain all the big and small things.

“… Brother Wu, you must not tell my father. If my father knows that I am here, he will definitely be very angry. I just want to make more money. Adi will soon be a private school. I’m already aware that the private school is already four silver taels a year for housing, and then the cost of books, pens, ink, paper, and food will not be cheap. There may be more.” 

As Lin Amo explained, he carefully counted with his fingers.

“The harvest of our family’s field is only a dozen tael or two in a year. This is still the best-case scenario. Dad goes to work on the docks on most days but those outside foremen always bully others and are dishonest, and they only pay half of their wages if they have poor legs and feet. The matriarch also said that she should keep the money for the marriage of our third uncle. She doesn’t care about my brother’s studies. There are not many in the village who go to school anyway…but my brother is clever. The old gentleman from the private school has seen my brother. He said that Adi is a talented student, and gave him a three-character classic to learn to read. Adi learned all of them in one month.”

Although Lin Amo has never read books and is uneducated, he is thoughtful and a visionary.

He is a ger with limited social status. No matter how he jumps, his ultimate destiny is to live with a man, but his younger brother is different. He is a male, smart, and a possible scholar. If he has the opportunity to study, he will have a bright future. He has to find a way to let his brother go to a private school. 

“You know how to make the merchandise. You can go to the ladies from outside the family. They must give more money and rewards than here. What should you do if someone finds out here?”

Wu Qingyuan looked at the young man who was earnestly breaking his fingers to settle accounts, and a certain string in his heart was gently plucked.

He underestimated the boy a little bit. This seemingly cheerful, silly and skinny boy, so ordinary, but full of incomparable toughness.

Lin Amo didn’t know what he was thinking, so he sighed when he heard what he said. 

“Of course, I know this. Those wealthy ladies and ladies are generous in their actions. The mother-in-law who taught me how to make these used to help the ladies of the big family to do this. Not only do I have a fixed amount of monthly silver for a month, but the lady is also happy to reward me. There is more silver, but who told me to look ugly? Those ladies were already scared when they saw me. I couldn’t even enter the door of other people’s houses, and they didn’t believe me at all when they saw me like this… ..”

“Only the people in the flower houses are willing to let me go. I also know that if the villagers found out since it is not good to go to that place, but apart from this, I don’t know what to do to make money. Everyone dislikes me… ”

He is not to blame for being ugly, but just because he is not good-looking, he is not less discriminated against. He has a cheerful personality, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel sadness. He is not a saint, he is just an ordinary person in the village. He feels the same joy, anger, sorrow, and sadness of ordinary people.

“I’m so pitiful, Brother Wu, if you report this to my father then you have no conscience!” 

Lin Amo felt that the more he spoke that the more he felt wronged, his eyes were a little red at the end, and he raised his head and stared at Wu Qingyuan, complaining with resentment on his face.

“Puff” Wu Qingyuan, who was brewing a deep emotion of cherishment, was amused by his resentful expression and couldn’t help laughing.

“How dare you laugh……”

Lin Amo puffed up his cheeks again, and his eyes grew more resentful, he was so pitiful and so miserable but he could still laugh! 

“Sorry, I didn’t mean it, don’t worry, I won’t tell your father about this.”

Wu Qingyuan couldn’t help but apologize and appease the smile on his face. Although he was sincere in his heart, his smile seemed perfunctory.

 

So Lin Amo glared at him, his cheeks bulged even more, angrily.

With this small appearance, Wu Qingyuan, who wanted to control his emotions broke his power again. He laughed for a long time until the young man couldn’t help but turn around and leave. 

“Don’t be angry, I didn’t laugh at you, I promised you, I will definitely keep this matter secret, but still, you shouldn’t don’t come here again. I found out today, but tomorrow, it will be someone else. When the time comes that the village learns of this, they will not be willing to hear explanations.”

“But I still have to earn money to study for Adi…” Lin Amo was very worried.

“You can think of other ways to earn silver. People’s words are powerful- we may believe in you, but the people in the village don’t necessarily understand. And your face- didn’t I say that I can treat you last time? I’ll make the medicine in a few days. I’m ready to start treating you.”

During this period of time, he has been busy acknowledging his relatives and settling in that the previous promise to help Lin Amo treat his face has been delayed. 

“Really? Can my face be cured?”

Lin Amo is still a little unbelieving. Wu Qingyuan almost forgets if he doesn’t mention it. Can this birthmark that has been with him for 18 years really be cured?

“Yes, in fact, even if it can’t be cured, I think you are actually pretty, you don’t have to despise yourself…”

Wu Qingyuan smiled his dark and deep eyes with a convincing feeling. 

Lin Amo was comforted at once, and his eyes curled up with laughter. It was the first time he heard this from other people except for his father, brother, and Zhou-ger. Even if he knew that these might be comforting words, but he was still very happy.

But when he was happy, he began to worry about other things again. “Then, Brother Wu, how much money does it cost to treat my face?”

Lin Amo was very worried. If he spends a lot of money, he will still die. Anyway, he’s gotten used to his face- it is better to leave the money at home for his younger brother to study, and his face cannot be used as a meal.

“Without spending money, we can go up the mountain to pick the herbs by ourselves.” 

“Really? I- I- Brother Wu, you are such a good person!”

The huge surprise caused Lin Amo to stammer. He didn’t know what to say to thank him, so he habitually stretched out his hands and grabbed the things in front of him for safety and authenticity. The excitement made him jump up.

But because of his foot just now, he fell off as soon as he jumped up. His whole body fell on Wu Qingyuan, and his face hit Wu Qingyuan’s chest. The intimate contact made Wu Qingyuan stiffen for a moment before he relaxed.

“Twisting like this and jumping, sit down, I will help you massage your foot, and then we head to the cloth shop, A-xi is still waiting there…” 

Wu Qingyuan lowered his eyelids after shaking the hand that was holding Lin Amo just now, and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

While speaking, he held the person up to the threshold and sat down, involuntarily stretched out his hands to grab the boy’s ankle, mobilized his abilities, and began to knead gently across the cloth, his actions were intimate but not rude.

 

“Well, thank you, Brother Wu.”

Lin Amo nodded obediently, although it seemed a bit inappropriate, but seeing Wu Qingyuan’s regular movements and expressions- he did not refuse, his feet were indeed painful now. 

However, when his private feet were caught in the hands of others, his always lively and fearless little face was still dyed a little red, a little embarrassed.
