Chapter 202
"Old lady."
Lin Yunjiao was gone, leaving only Lin Yunwan.
She didn't expect that Mrs. Lin would go to all the trouble and promise to take half of it each.
In other words, the Lin family still returned the full amount of Su's dowry back then, but half of it went into her hands.
"Yun Wan, I just said everything that needs to be said. You don't have to think too much. Everything I said is true."
Lin Yunwan nodded. She knew that the old lady would not tell lies.
Mrs. Lin smiled gently and said: "Don't your friends also want to pack the boxes for you? Go back, I want to take a rest too."
"yes."
Lin Yunwan bent her knees and left.
After everyone left, Mrs. Lin rubbed her temples and said to Aunt Fan, "...Why are my eyes so blurry?"
Aunt Fan sighed and waited for a long time before saying, "You have taken the initiative for the second master, have you thought about what to do in the future?"
"The dowry Su brought over back then was not a small amount of money."
Mrs. Lin also sighed deeply.
How could she not guess that her selfish, stupid son probably only had half left in his hands to return to the original owner.
"If I can't give the whole amount, I have to give half to the Su family!"
Mrs. Lin said thoughtfully: "Otherwise, do you think they will give up?"
Grandma Fan was noncommittal.
She helped the old lady to rest, and said, "You really need a good rest. I'm afraid the second master will come over after finishing his drink."
It was another storm.
"I know."
Mrs. Lin went to rest with an indifferent look.
There is nothing I can do about the sins I have committed.
It was just getting dark when Lin Huabin and his relatives finished drinking and rushed to the old lady without changing their clothes.
On the surface, he didn't dare to lose his temper, but his tone of voice was not very good.
"You understand the righteousness well. Have you ever thought about your son? With so much money... My son has spent all these years managing it, but it's impossible for him to keep it intact."
"You just refund half of it. How do you know the pain in your son's heart?"
Mrs. Lin looked at her second son quietly. After he finished speaking, she asked, "Are you done? If there is anything else you want to say, you can finish it all."
Lin Huabin's face was ashen: "My son has finished speaking."
Mrs. Lin said calmly: "I only want to ask you three questions."
"Just ask whatever you want!"
Lin Huabin still looked unconvinced.
"Do you and the Su family have a legitimate son?"
"If you go to court, do you have the ability to bribe the prefect Jiang Qian to protect you? Will your daughter 'Yun Wan' help you take over this hot potato?"
"Do you want to return the Su family's entire dowry?"
Lin Huabin's mind suddenly became clear.
This is not a question of whether he wants to return it, but he must return it!
If the old lady hadn't made the decision, and if Yun Wan insisted on not giving up, if the Su family went to court, they wouldn't just be giving half...
"Mother, son... son..."
Mrs. Lin said sharply: "You didn't listen to a word I said back then."
"After Su's death, the dowry will remain unchanged, and it won't be used on Yun Wan who lives in the countryside. You can't afford it even if you want to."
"It's your own fault that the road is blocked, you can't blame others."
Lin Huabin was ashamed, lowered his head feebly, lowered his hands and said: "Mother, my son is wrong."
Mrs. Lin didn't speak.
Lin Huabin looked up at the old lady and asked with a blushing face: "Mother, what should my son do now?"
Mrs. Lin paused and then said: "How much of Su's dowry is left?"
"One...half!"
Lin Huabin couldn't hear the old lady's voice, and he was pounding in his heart. He said: "There are too many shops under the Su family's name. If some of them are not managed well, the son will cash them out, or change to something else. If he doesn't do it well, he will have to go back to business." Cashed in."
"Is there anything else..."
"That's enough. Stop talking."
Mrs. Lin looked irritated and said, "Let's pay Yun Wan's dowry first!"
"Make a dowry for Yun Wan?!"
Lin Huabin saw that the old lady's face didn't look like she was joking, so he asked, "Really?"
Mrs. Lin sneered and said, "Do you think you can hide it from King Huan, or from your uncle?"
Neither King Huan nor Yun Wan could take the blame for him.
Mr. Su is not easy to fool.
Lin Huabin muttered, always wanting to say something, but his mind was like a ball of mush.
He was already trapped in a state of anxiety.
Mrs. Lin smoothed the faint wrinkles on her sleeves, trying to wake him up: "Your uncle is much easier to talk to than Yun Wan and Prince Huan. You can make up your own mind."
"Then I'll listen to you."
Lin Huabin was still in a dilemma: "Then, what about the half given to the Su family?"
He really couldn't take it out.
Mrs. Lin also thought about it and said: "You should move things in your house that should not be taken by you, Zheng and Yunjiao in the first place. Sell what should be sold and take out what should be taken out."
Lin Huabin was very reluctant and was still trying to think of a way to refuse: "Mother, this can't be completely consistent with the original dowry list."
It would be great if I could give less or not give at all!
"The Su family are not stingy people. Even if you can't pay it back intact, you can always make it through by paying back a similar amount of money and slowly making up for it in the future."
Mrs. Su closed her eyes and became very impatient: "Stop nagging! Go and ask your eldest brother and third brother to come over."
Are you asking your eldest brother and third brother for help?
Lin Huabin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My son will go now."
Mrs. Lin shook her head in disappointment.
Aunt Fan said helplessly: "The second master thought you wanted the eldest master and the third master to take the blame for him."
"He thinks beautifully."
Mrs. Lin is not yet old and confused. She said coldly: "Back then, he was afraid that the brothers would take the Su family's property and wanted to divide the family. I have already divided the family according to him. Now I still want the boss and the third to do it. He cleans up the mess and is just talking nonsense!"
She leaned back and sighed: "If you can't write two characters "lin" in one stroke, our Lin family still has to take care of the face of the Lin family. But what he owes to the Su family, he has to pay it back himself."
Aunt Fan sighed secretly.
It’s hard to be a mother!
But the most pitiable thing is Su and her daughter who died young.
"Why are you standing waiting for me?"
Lin Yunwan returned to Bixi Hall and saw that Dong Shuangshuang's belly was round and pregnant.
Dong Shuangshuang said with a smile: "I came out for a walk because I was tired from sitting, and you came back just in time."
The two of them went in hand in hand, and Cuiqin happened to be changing tea.
"Yun Wan, you scared me to death!"
Dong Shuangshuang took Lin Yunwan's hand and said, "I heard that you were going to marry Prince Huan. I thought it was a lie!"
Lin Yunwan wrote to her for the first time.
The two were talking and laughing. Although Dong Shuangshuang thought Lin Yunwan's marriage was surprising, she was more concerned about Yun Wan's life.
"With the old lady at home, my life is very good. How are you?"
Dong Shuangshuang mentioned her husband indifferently: "He can no longer move. When he loses his temper, he just smashes things. My sister and I have moved to another yard."
She rubbed her belly and smiled: "The old lady goes to pray to God and Buddha every day to bless me for giving birth to a boy."
"You don't know that my old lady is extremely generous to me and my sister. She sends delicacies from the mountains and seas and various supplements to me every day."
Lin Yunwan was very curious: "Your old lady doesn't care about her son's gambling debts, but she is still willing to support you?"
Dong Shuangshuang also found it ridiculous: "Do you think the Lu family has no money?"
"The Lu family is very well-off, and their business is very far-reaching. But the old lady is reluctant to give up her son to a gambler. Now she is all counting on the one in my belly..."
Lin Yunwan was thoughtful.
Dong Shuangshuang looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yun smiled and said, "Your good days are ahead."
Dong Shuangshuang was a little confused.
Lin Yunwan said: "Don't forget, the Lu family is a single generation of three generations. When you marry, you will be the matron of the house."
"Mother..."
Dong Shuangshuang murmured, she never thought of doing what her mother-in-law did!
But she had two kids and she had to do it.
The wedding date of Yun Wan and Qi Lingheng was set at the beginning of winter.
Lin's mansion has been "busy" for a few days.
Except for Bixitang, things were moved everywhere in the second room. They were mostly moved outside and rarely moved inside.
It was said to be a dowry for the girl, but everyone in the Lin family knew that the second wife was paying off a debt.
"Ma'am, didn't you make trouble?"
After listening to the news for a few days, Lin Yunwan felt that Mrs. Zheng was too quiet, unusually quiet.
Cuiqin said: "My wife didn't quarrel with the master. On the contrary, the second young lady had a quarrel with the women and girls who were moving things. But as soon as my wife passed by, the second young lady became honest."
Lin Yun smiled: "When did the second young lady become so obedient? She hates it when others take her things."
Isn't that right? Lin Yunjiao almost lifted the roof when she watched others move away the things she was used to.
Mrs. Zheng hurried over and held her down with just one word.
"Do you want to be Princess Huan?"
The mother and daughter closed the door and talked. Zheng murmured for a long time, and finally said: "... Those who move out now are nothing. When you go to Prince Huan's Mansion in the future, there will be better things than this."
"And these things are only moved away temporarily, they will still be yours in the future."
Lin Yunjiao's face was still stained with tears.
"Mom, is it true?"
Mrs. Zheng wiped away her tears and said, "When did mother lie to you?"
Lin Yunjiao was doubtful.
She muttered: "But mother, how come the things I use are all left by Yun Wan's mother..."
Mrs. Zheng kept talking but did not tell the reason.
"Be good. Just listen to mother. Mother will let you live a good life forever."
Lin Yunjiao nodded.
After her mother left, she couldn't help but think of cousin Wenhai again.
"cousin……"
What on earth does her mother want to do? Is it a lie to her?
