60 A Different Kind of Scholar

However, he was annoyed at those who looked down on his cart.

They were all country bumpkins anyway. If they were so superior, why didn’t they ride a carriage?

“Yes, then you’d better not change it! Your cart is the only ride from our village!” The woman hurriedly said.

Old Man Shi was about to argue with her.

“That’s right. I think this is nice. That scholar surnamed Lin is just pretentious!” Another woman said.

When Old Man Shi heard this, his expression softened.

“Hey, little girl, do you know the scholar?” The woman asked Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

“Yes. He’s Old Man Lin’s fifth son. He’s studying at Qingyun Academy in town.” She didn’t mention her relationship with Lin Yuanshan.

“Qingyun Academy. Oh, my nephew is also studying there. I heard that it costs five taels of silver per quarter!” The woman’s expression was exaggerated as she gestured with her hands.

The other woman was surprised.

“So much?!”

“Right? The food in the academy is expensive. But my nephew is also a good man. He is not picky with his ride.” As the woman spoke, she glanced at Old Man Shi.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyue couldn’t help but cover her mouth.

What? He’s a good person just because he wasn’t picky with his ride?

The woman saw Lin Xiaoyue’s expression, but she didn’t get angry. She smiled and continued, “not only that, he even walked to town when he didn’t have any things with him. He even helped others write notes to earn extra money.”

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyue stopped smiling and her eyes were filled with admiration.

“Not only did he not ask for money from his family, he even gave them an allowance from time to time.”

Lin Xiaoyue and the other woman nodded as they listened, and they admired the scholar even more.

“My eldest brother hurt his leg when he went out to work before the New Year. Otherwise, my family wouldn’t have the heart to let him work so hard. The academy already gives a lot of homework, and he still has to work. We are afraid that he won’t be able to take it.”

The other woman sighed.

“Eh, he’ll be fine. Your nephew is so sensible. He’ll definitely have great prospects in the future!” She comforted her.

“That’s right. Great talents emerge from trials and tribulations. Your nephew will definitely become great,” Lin Xiaoyue encouraged her

As they spoke, they arrived in town in a short while.

The two women reluctantly said goodbye to Lin Xiaoyue and got off the cart.

Then, Old Man Shi rode the cart to Ruyi Restaurant.

When they reached the place, the waiter noticed Lin Xiaoyue. Those who saw her yesterday quickly came up to help her unload the goods.

Old Man Shi asked and found out that Lin Xiaoyue wasn’t going to go home so soon, so he left.

Lin Xiaoyue went inside and saw Chef Liu.

After checking the goods, Chef Liu immediately asked a waiter to weigh them on the spot.

Then, he handed the list to Lin Xiaoyue.

“What a pity. We also accept whole wild boars. Next time, you can send it over directly. I’ll give you 18 coins per catty!” Chef Liu looked at the wild boar meat and said with a regretful expression.

The owner of their Ruyi Restaurant was not the only restaurant in town. It was not hard to get dishes with wild boar meat.

“Hehe, okay. Thank you, Uncle Liu!” Lin Xiaoyue took the bill and thanked him.

“Okay! Go and claim your money.” Chef Liu didn’t say anything more and left.
