Chapter 324: 138, software is ready, live streaming started! The whole family appears on camera, facing Chen Shanhe!_7
“Just stay at home, Grandpa promises to feed you until you’re chubby and plump.”
Lin Xiaoxiao bit into a piece of fish and said vaguely, “Okay, I will eat Grandpa’s cooking every day from now on.”
While everyone was eating, they talked about recent events.
Actually, it was mainly Lin Siyu who was talking, babbling on while the rest of the family listened attentively.
It had to be said, Lin Siyu truly had a knack for storytelling; with her embellishments, Lin Mo’s already shining image instantly seemed even more impressive.
Especially since Lin Siyu knew a bit about stocks, so when she talked about Wall Street, her explanations were simple yet profound, and her analysis spot on. Under Lin Siyu’s depiction, Lin Mo was nearly portrayed as America’s most famous stock market mogul!
Although Lin Changshui and the others didn’t fully understand, they were still greatly amazed.
Lin Siyu said with a laugh, “I’m telling you, my brother is like the modern-day Buffett. No, even Buffett can’t hold a candle to him.”
“My brother’s operations these days are absolutely the greatest maneuvers I’ve seen in my many years in the business.”
Lin Mo picked up a piece of spicy chicken for her and said with a smile, “You can’t stop talking even when eating. Hurry up and eat; no matter how much you brag about me, I still won’t buy you a Rolls-Royce.”
He couldn’t understand why his little sister, a girl, was so fond of Rolls-Royce cars. They had discussed it for a long time on the way back.
But Lin Mo thought the car was just too showy, so he turned her down.
“Brother, what are you saying? Am I the kind of person who would make up facts just for a car?” Lin Siyu said with a smile, “If you don’t believe me, just ask my sister-in-law and see if I’m lying.”
Li Jinwen put down her chopsticks and nodded lightly, “Yes, it’s true, the little sister is right, he has made quite a bit of money recently. From now on, our family won’t have to worry about money anymore.”
Lin Changshui and the others all nodded with smiles, urging them to eat more. Money was secondary; what mattered was that the family was together, happy and healthy.
After dinner, with the exception of Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Jinwen, who were shooed out of the kitchen, everyone else was busy there.
Seizing this opportunity, Lin Mo also told his parents about the upcoming live stream and the original purpose of making money in America, which was to develop a software for live streaming. He explained everything to his parents, warning them to prepare mentally, and then told them to go to bed early that night as they had to go somewhere else the next day.
After hearing this, Lin Changshui was similarly shocked, never expecting things could be handled in such a way!
However, they all expressed their support for any decision Lin Mo made!
Although they occasionally watched live streams online, they still didn’t quite understand such novel things.
Then, because they needed to get up early the next day, after chatting until about ten o’clock, everyone returned to their respective rooms, washed up, and prepared for bed.
Perhaps due to jet lag, and because they had eaten a bit too much at night, everyone was having a bit of trouble falling asleep.
…
In the bedroom.
Xu Qin tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and asked, “Old man, what do you think about what our son said today?”
“What can I think?” Lin Changshui turned over and, looking up at the ceiling, said, “We don’t understand these things; we just do whatever our son arranges.”
Xu Qin nodded, “Yes, you’re right. I just wanted to ask, have you thought about what to say to our former neighbors and relatives when the live stream starts? What if they happen to see it? It would be good to explain, and let them know we’re not that kind of people.”
Relatives?
Neighbors?
Lin Changshui let out a snort of derision, somewhat indignant, “Didn’t you see what people were saying about us in the Douyin comment section? Was there a single nice word?”
“Damn relatives, they’re all sweet when times are good, but the first to kick you when you’re down.”
“Take Li Wu from our village, for example. When his mother got seriously ill, it was I who carried her to the hospital. But what about now?”
“After our incident, that kid jumped all over, fabricating all sorts of stories about our family on Douyin, and now he has 200,000 followers, live streaming and selling products every day, it just irritates me.”
“Thinking of them gets me angry; let’s just sleep. If we really had to say something, I’d rather curse them out!”
Xu Qin was aware of all these situations, as Lin Changshui described them.
Even with their changed status, who could resist checking out news about themselves on the internet, and then reading the comments in the comment section?
They did look when they had nothing else to do, but every time they did, they would inexplicably become angry.
That’s just how the world was, and they were helpless against it.
…
It wasn’t just Lin Changshui and Xu Qin.
Li Jinwen and Lin Mo, lying in bed, were also pondering this issue.
Lin Mo began, “Wife, you don’t have to show up in the live stream tomorrow. Parents, little sister, and I can handle it.”
“What’s wrong? Are you worried I’ll see those comments? I want to share the burden with you; it’s okay, I’m not that fragile! I can handle it!” Li Jinwen thought Lin Mo was concerned she might be affected by the comments.
Lin Mo explained, “Yes, that’s part of my concern, but mainly, our daughter needs someone to take care of her. This matter certainly can’t be known to our daughter.”
“Well… okay then.”
Li Jinwen hugged Lin Mo. She really wanted to join in the live stream and share her own hardships, but what Lin Mo said made sense; their daughter couldn’t be left unattended, nor could she be involved in these matters, “I’ll take good care of the child at home. You guys, make sure you come back safe and sound!”
