Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1170 - 561: Lin Juan (Part 2)

An Youyou: !!!

"Little Seven!" An Youyou was even more moved, "I knew it at the time, among all the little brothers, you would definitely be the most successful one!"

Lin Qi was also very moved and searched more eagerly for the passbook.

Qin Huai watched the absurd scene in front of him, feeling a bit like scratching his head. He turned around and asked Shi Dadan, "Old Shi, do you think we'll be arrested for scamming the elderly after leaving the nursing home today?"

Shi Dadan was chewing on an apple and thought seriously, "Aren't we just scamming the elderly?"

Lin Qi kept talking while looking for the passbook. Due to his poor memory, Lin Qi often repeated stories, so Qin Huai could only listen for the key points.

After getting rich, Lin Qi lived a good life in the city for a few years but felt city life was just so-so. He thought it was better to move back to the village to wait for the boss, so Lin Qi returned to the village for a few years.

After Lin Qi's wife died of cancer, his children, worried about him living alone in the village, forcibly took him back to the city. However, less than a year after returning, Lin Qi was diagnosed with dementia.

Of course, Qin Huai judged this part through Lin Qi's narration and information from a private detective because, in Lin Qi's words, he did not have dementia. Instead, his children and grandchildren suddenly all disappeared and only appeared occasionally. Replacing them were a few deceitful young and middle-aged people who locked him up in this place, pretending to visit and care for him, actually intending to find out about the three gold bars he had and trying to cheat money from him.

At this point, Lin Qi assured An Youyou again that he had three gold bars in his hand, a secret unknown to his son and daughter. Those scammers didn't torture him, so he hadn't revealed anything.

Lin Qi asked An Youyou to first dig up the gold bars, then find his sons and daughters, and if conditions allowed, it would be best if the boss took him out of there.

Lin Qi's condition caused his descriptions of recent memories to be increasingly messy, often confusing himself while speaking. But he remembered past events very clearly, such as when he received a letter from An Youyou and found out there was even ten yuan from the boss in it, he was ecstatic knowing the boss was reincarnated with memories.

Yes, at that time, Lin Qi was very sure that An Youyou hadn't come back to life but was reborn without drinking Mengpo Soup.

As for why... this involved something the deceased did not know, but all of An Youyou's little brothers knew — back then, Lin Qi, Xu Chenggang, Jiang Weiguo, and Chen Shun went all the way to Guangdong Province to take care of An Youyou's body (An Youyou died of illness in Guangdong Province), bought a good coffin, and picked a good burial site.

As for the money An Youyou saved, part was used for the coffin and burial site, the majority was given to Chen Shun, and a small portion was evenly split among Lin Qi, Xu Chenggang, and Jiang Weiguo.

Lin Qi inherited An Youyou's inheritance back then.

Incidentally, the wealthiest among the little brothers, Xu Chenggang, secretly consulted a master for feng shui. The master said An Youyou had a tragic death and needed to be continuously worshipped for at least 30 years, letting her have incense offerings underground so she could reincarnate peacefully.

Back then, Lin Qi didn't even have land to farm and the boat ticket from Shanghai to Guangdong Province was bought by Jiang Weiguo for him. Such a high-difficulty task naturally didn't fall on him. Lin Qi didn't know how Jiang Weiguo and Xu Chenggang discussed it, but he believed Ninth Brother and Brother Thirteen must have conducted the worship well. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

When An Youyou mailed a letter to Lin Qi, it hadn't even been 30 years since his death. Reincarnating so quickly meant the worship was effective.

Qin Huai and the other two were dumbfounded after hearing this part.

Don't say it, but as ridiculous as it sounds, Lin Qi's logic was internally consistent.

An Youyou didn't even need to reveal she was a spirit; she simply admitted honestly, yes, she didn't drink Mengpo Soup before reincarnation. After all, Lin Qi knew An Youyou was his boss and believed whatever An Youyou said, his mind wasn't very clear.

An Youyou didn't bother to say she was a spirit, just repeatedly confirmed the location where the gold bars were buried wasn't wrong, planning to dig them up tonight to avoid any long delays.

As for the rest, there wasn't much to say.

Lin Qi's life was actually very ordinary. Even the seemingly enviable demolition was done in half the village together. Lin Qi's old house was small, so less land was demolished, and the housing he got was the least among the village's relocation households.

He spent most of his life as a farmer, facing the land and struggling to barely feed his son and daughter. The most worth mentioning in his life was actually the legendary days begging with An Youyou when he was young, after all, not everyone had such an impressive boss who could support 13 little brothers by begging.

Lin Qi finished telling what he could bit by bit, but he couldn't find where the passbook was.

An Youyou didn't want the passbook so much since the three gold bars were enough. Using Lin Qi's passbook to withdraw money was very likely to get caught, and transferring money online from Lin Xi in this status would also easily get caught. An Youyou had this basic legal awareness.

Toward the end, An Youyou was a bit envious of Zhao Cheng'an. His senior brother was better; his senior brother didn't have dementia and could transfer money anytime.

After receiving the gold bars, An Youyou naturally needed to act.

An Youyou wasn't a fool; she could definitely see that Lin Qi's illness was indeed serious. Otherwise, the Lin family wouldn't have specifically hired two caregivers to take care of him. Also, the children and grandchildren Lin Qi didn't recognize were real, and his children and grandchildren seemed quite filial since those 'scammers' frequently came to the nursing home to see him, showing concern for him, trying to find out the whereabouts of the three gold bars.
