Chapter 468 - 6 Tomb Sweeping_2
"It’s you who didn’t pull Mr. Lin’s name, right?" Lin Xiaoguai realized, "I bet they definitely think you’re just some moderately wealthy country landlord, who’d have thought with you always drilling up into the tea mountains with the workers?"
Seeing her brother’s skin that had become somewhat shiny and dark, Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t help but laugh, "I’m telling you, sir, the rich get fatter in brain and belly as they get wealthier, but why do you increasingly resemble a refugee?"
"What refugee? Can’t you speak properly?" Lin Xiaoxi pretended to be angry as he knocked on her head, "This is called sharing sweet and sour with the people, understand?"
"Okay, so you’re approachable now, happy?" Lin Xiaogui couldn’t keep back a chuckle.
"And don’t you mock your brother." Tang Hanfang, who was next to them, spoke up for her husband, "Because he always makes trips to the tea mountains, his reputation in this generation is genuinely good. They say that even though he’s rich, he doesn’t put on airs and is like family with the locals. When the outside businessmen saw the tea business doing well, they thought about poaching our company’s tea channels, but they miscalculated. The moment they went to those tea farmers, the farmers immediately came to notify Xiao Xi."
"That’s why he’s been going up to the tea mountain more and more often, treating it like another home. Sometimes he can’t make it back for meals and just enjoys having packed lunches with the farmers."
Listening to this, Lin Xiaoguai smiled, unable to resist nodding, "Makes sense. Although brother is dark and thin, he does look younger, and climbing mountains is indeed good for your health."
"Right?" Lin Xiaoxi grinned, "And you know, looking like this has another advantage. When foreign merchants who don’t know better come to discuss business and see me like this, they belittle me a bit, but the advantage ends up being mine."
"Still a merchant at heart, crafty and cunning." Lin Xiaoguai teased.
"I’ll take your earlier words as a compliment then," Lin Xiaoxi gestured with a bow, as if accepting praise graciously.
