Chapter 444: Lin Cong Returns Home
Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Lin Cong Returns Home
Lin Cong’s expression gradually turned serious, "Uncle, has my dad signed it yet?"
Lin Cong didn’t doubt his uncle’s words at all because he knew that Lin Tianming always liked to visit their home frequently.
He used to be bothered by this person when he was home; always smiling but with calculative eyes, always scheming.
And his dad, honestly, was that gullible, coupled with his mom’s love for taking advantage of things, it’d be no surprise if his dad ended up doing this.
Lin Fu continued, "That person told me, if your dad really signs that contract, gives out his ID, he’ll probably have to pay someone over one million yuan."
Hearing this number, Lin Cong felt dizzy.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Our whole family wouldn’t earn over a million, even if we worked all our lives without eating or drinking!!!"
Lin Fu: "Your dad probably hasn’t signed yet, call him. If not, go back home and keep an eye on your dad and mom. Don’t end up being sold out and happily counting the money for others."
Hearing that his dad hadn’t signed yet, Lin Cong exhaled deeply, relieved.
Thank goodness, there’s still hope!
"Alright, Uncle, I got it. I’ll book a ticket home now."
After hanging up, Lin Fu looked relaxed and triumphantly said to his wife and daughter, "It’s settled."
Lin Mu: "Will Congcong make it home in time?"
Lin Xiaoyan: "He should. If he gets the ticket now, tomorrow... uh, I’m not sure."
Lin Xiaoyan recalled the scene she "saw", the date on the contract Uncle signed seemed to be... tomorrow!
"It’s tomorrow. I don’t know when Congcong can reach home."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fu called Lin Cong again.
"Cong, that person just messaged me, saying they’ll have your dad sign tomorrow. Can you make it back?"
Lin Cong felt uneasy inside, "I can, I’m booking a flight ticket!"
Lin Fu: "Plane tickets are expensive, I’ll transfer you some money. When you’re home, talk to your parents, tell them not to take advantage of everything, and not to easily give their ID or sign anything..."
Listening to his uncle, Lin Cong felt warm inside, his eyes turning slightly red, "Uncle, I know. Don’t transfer me money, I have enough."
After hanging up, Lin Cong saw his uncle had transferred him three thousand yuan.
Looking at the transfer, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
His parents never cared for him this much.
Lin Cong rubbed his eyes, returned the transfer to his uncle, and sent him a voice message saying he had enough money.
Then Lin Cong quickly booked a flight ticket.
Luckily, there was a direct flight home at 9:30 tonight.
He would reach home around one in the morning.
After booking the ticket, he immediately returned to the factory to request leave from his team leader.
Then he went to find his wife, telling her he needed to go home.
Li Yan was a bit puzzled, "Why are you going home? Did something happen?"
Lin Cong: "Our uncle called, said someone is trying to trick our dad into signing some money-conniving contract. They’re planning to sign it tomorrow, and I’ve booked a flight. I’ll be home tonight."
Upon hearing this, Li Yan frowned, "No, is our dad that naive? Someone tells him to sign, and he just signs it?"
Lin Cong was also agitated, "I don’t know, he has no common sense at all, lived in vain for decades!
Enough said, I’ll go pack, then head to the airport later."
Li Yan nodded, "Alright, take care on the way and message me when you get home."
Lin Cong agreed quickly, then ran towards the dormitory.
Watching her husband leave, Li Yan felt anxious and uncertain inside.
She wanted to go home too, but the airfare was too high, and back home, she’d have to put up with her mother-in-law, she thought she’d rather not.
Lin Cong returned to the dorm, grabbed his documents, didn’t even pack a change of clothes, knowing everything was at home and he’d only be there for a short time, he left lightly packed.
Not until he was on the plane did Lin Cong remember he hadn’t told his parents he’d be home that night!
He thought about it and decided to tell them once he got home.
At the same time, after seeing off Lin Tianming, Uncle Lin turned and closed the door.
He returned to the room with a hesitant face.
"Where’s your ID card? Find it quickly, sign the paper tomorrow, and give your ID to Master Ming."
Uncle Lin watched as his wife rummaged through drawers looking for his ID, he said, "Aren’t you keeping my ID? I don’t know where it is."
Aunt Lin casually scolded, "Can’t rely on you for anything, ask you anything, you know nothing! What’s the use of having you..."
Uncle Lin, used to these scoldings, walked to the bedside, sat down.
"Do you think this matter is reliable?"
Aunt Lin found the ID card from the cabinet drawer, took it out.
"What’s not reliable?"
Uncle Lin: "What Master Ming said."
Aunt Lin’s eyes widened, "How could Master Ming deceive us? It’s just signing a paper, being an intermediary, what’s not reliable about that?
Afterwards, they give you fifteen thousand yuan!"
Thinking she’ll have fifteen thousand by tomorrow, Aunt Lin was overjoyed.
Uncle Lin, on the other hand, felt some concern, "Why does he want me to sign? They could just directly handle the deal and save the fifteen thousand."
Aunt Lin put her hands on her hips, "Why? You ask why!
Didn’t Master Ming say it’s because those two are from where my family is, my father’s acquaintances, thinking of us as their own, that’s why they made you a middleman to bargain with them.
Are you deaf?
If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t get that fifteen thousand!"
Uncle Lin looked at his fierce wife with a silly smile, "I’m just afraid if I sign that contract, something might happen, why are you getting angry."
Aunt Lin snorted coldly, "Humph, don’t be stupid, the money’s right in front of you, if you don’t want it, I’ll kick you!"
Uncle Lin quickly agreed, "Alright, alright, I’ll sign tomorrow, make sure the ID is kept properly, don’t end up not finding it tomorrow when we need it."
Aunt Lin glared at him, "Can’t rely on you, I have to worry about everything!"
By night, Lin Cong was out of the airport, it was already two o’clock, and he took a cab home.
Being late night, the roads were deserted.
It took an hour from the city to home.
The car stopped at the village entrance, Lin Cong wrapped his clothes tighter, then got out.
As soon as he got out, a chill hit him.
"Ssssss"
Unable to hold back, Lin Cong sniffed, home was indeed cold!
"Thanks, driver!"
Lin Cong thanked the driver, and the driver then drove away.
In the middle of the night, the village was quiet.
Lin Cong hugged his arms and walked home.
Everywhere was pitch black, but growing up in the village, he wasn’t afraid at all.
"Woof, woof, woof, woof..."
Hearing the dogs barking, Lin Cong felt an intense longing.
While working outside, he really missed home.
Lin Cong quickly reached home, knocking on the door, but it was silent inside.
After thinking for a moment, he went to the back of the house, to the room where his parents stayed, and called out loudly.
"Dad, Mom, open the door..."
Calling for a long time, Aunt Lin vaguely heard her son’s voice. Suddenly awake from her dream, she listened carefully, it really was her son!
