The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Chapter 197 Why did Lin Guojun stop picking up trash?

Let him curse Grandpa Lin, he'll never have any good luck in this life.

Seeing that Lin Xi had finally let him go, the security guard opened the door and ran out, but unexpectedly tripped over his own feet and fell flat on his face.

His nose hit the stair railing, and warm blood instantly flowed from his nostrils onto his clothes, and he couldn't stop it no matter what he did.

The scene was quite eerie.

I stumbled downstairs, but twisted my ankle as soon as I stepped out the door and fell down the steps.

He Zhicheng strolled around the neighborhood for a while, and when he felt it was about time, he started to walk back. He then saw the security guard covered in blood, limping towards him, and he immediately froze on the spot.

Ouch! What terrible crime did he commit to deserve this?

The security guard had barely opened his mouth when he bit his tongue, and tears welled up in his eyes from the pain.

"Waaah, Ding Li, I... I want to eat paper!"

He Zhicheng looked completely bewildered. "Huh? What did you say?"

The security guard, wiping his nosebleed, said through gritted teeth, "I...want...to...resign!"

He Zhicheng said disdainfully, "Oh, what resignation? You were fired."

Lin Xi walked over from behind and called out "Manager He." The security guard immediately shuddered and ran away, dragging his limping leg.

While running, he stammered incoherently, "Ding Li, you elbowed me, I, sweet, dog, I don't want the money anymore."

Lin Xi was still angry, and her tone was still not good, "Manager He, I have a suggestion for you, don't hire just anyone!"

He Zhicheng felt wronged; he hadn't hired this person! But before he could explain, Lin Xi turned and left.

He Zhicheng, holding his breath, immediately called over the personnel department. He wanted to see how this guy had gotten in.

It turned out that a young woman in the HR department took money from the cafeteria lady and put her son in the job without any evaluation.

The key point is that the guy was a habitual thief who never reformed, and he had just been released from the police station before starting his job.

He Zhicheng was so angry that he cursed loudly. No wonder Lin Xi said those words. His reputation was ruined by these few bad apples.

Lin Xi went back home feeling depressed. What could she do to help her grandfather resolve his inner conflict?

The story goes back to the first day Lin Guojun started collecting garbage.

When he returned, he was rummaging through the community's trash cans with a sack of bottles. Afraid that others would look down on him, he even made a special pair of tongs to pick up trash.

Just then, a security guard with a pockmarked face shouted, "Hey! You old geezer, how did you get in here? This isn't a place for you to collect trash, get out of here right now!"

Lin Guojun had never seen such an uncivilized person before. He frowned and said, "Why should I leave? I live in this neighborhood!"

"Give me a break, who are you trying to fool? You think a stinking beggar like you can afford a villa? You're not even fit to clean toilets here."

Although Lin Guojun was angry, he was more puzzled. How could someone like this be a security guard here? He had heard that the security guards in this community not only had to go through layers of assessments, but also had to meet educational requirements.

"How can you have such a foul mouth at such a young age? How does picking up trash make me a stinking beggar! On the contrary, you, with your kind of character, are an insult to the security guard profession!"

I'm too lazy to argue with you. My name is Lin Guojun, and I live in Villa No. 4. You can ask around!

So what if I live in a villa? So what if I pick up trash? I enjoy living in a villa and picking up trash!

Seeing that Lin Guojun was speaking confidently and with great conviction, Wang Mazi thought about it carefully.

He hadn't been there long and hadn't memorized the residents' names yet, but it seemed there really was a family with the surname Lin.

However, judging from his scavenging, he couldn't be any big shot and had no right to lecture him. So he sneered, "Ha, I misjudged you. So what if you live here? You're still not respectable."

Look at those old men, they're either collecting antiques and paintings, practicing calligraphy, or raising flowers and birds to cultivate their minds.

Look at Villa No. 5, the balcony is full of expensive flowers, each pot costs tens of thousands.

There's also Villa No. 1, where the old man keeps a talking bird, and he won't sell it for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

You live in the same place as other people, yet you're rummaging through trash cans here. Tsk tsk, aren't you ashamed? You're being laughed at by countless people behind your back!

You're so old, aren't you afraid of people gossiping? Your family will suffer! Oh dear, I feel so sorry for them.

I don't know what your child thinks. If I were your son, I would be disgusted with him.

If someone asks what your dad's been up to lately, and he says he's collecting trash? Haha, that's kind of funny, hahahahaha…

From that day on, Lin Guojun gave up the idea of ​​picking up trash.

He knew that the man was full of bad intentions and had ill intentions. He also knew that his son and granddaughter would not despise him, but what about others?

He has accomplished nothing in his life; he cannot be a source of pride for his children, but he also cannot be a burden to them.

At the very least, we can't let others look down on children because of us...

Upon learning the truth, Lin Xi felt as if she had been struck on the head with a club, and was too distressed to speak.

Her efforts all along seem like a joke.

She works hard to earn money and find ways to provide a comfortable life for her family. She studies hard to become a child her family can be proud of. She strives to earn "love coins" to secure a future for herself and her family.

However, they overlooked their true inner needs.

Grandpa has suffered so much injustice for so long.

She couldn't imagine how sad her grandfather must have been lately.

Grandma, she must miss the free and lively life in Linjia Village!

A deep sense of guilt lingered in my heart, and a tear involuntarily slid down my cheek—it was my heartache for my family.

Lin Xi didn't sleep much that night, but in the morning she still showed the same smile as usual.

Seeing that her grandparents liked Xiao Ai, she left the scooter at home and took the bus to school.

Lin Xi had already completed all the course material for the semester, so even though she was daydreaming during class, no teacher criticized her.

Du Ying even took the initiative to talk to Principal Dong, saying that Lin Xidu was bored and spacing out, so why not just send her to the second year of high school, so as not to waste the child's time.

Dong Yongshu disagreed, saying that a solid foundation is very important and skipping grades too quickly is not a good thing. He gave Du Ying a stack of textbooks for the second semester of the first year of high school and asked Lin Xi to look at them.

Lin Xi was in a bad mood and wanted to rest for a day. She didn't even want to complete the system learning tasks, but seeing that the teacher had already prepared the books, she habitually started studying.

As she studied, her mind opened up, and she came up with a good idea.

I'm stuck in a dead end. Why keep thinking about how to persuade Grandpa? I should just do it!

Actions speak louder than words!

Once she thought of a solution, Lin Xi's previously listless eyes suddenly lit up.

Li Xiaonuan and her roommates Jian hope were finally relieved.

Lin Xi was in a bad mood all day and barely spoke during lunch, which worried them quite a bit.

After all that, it turns out the reason was that there were no books to read.

Sure enough, as soon as I started studying, my mood immediately improved.

Later, when Li Xiaonuan saw that Lin Xi was in a bad mood, she gave her a book, a move that always puzzled Lin Xi.

After school, Lin Xi didn't go straight home. Instead, she took her bank card to the bank first, saw the balance, and smiled with satisfaction.

Money is still very important; we still need to earn it.

When I got back to the community, I didn't go straight home. I went to the property management building first.
