Chapter 59: What is the identity of the Lin family?
After Yan Xiao finished washing his clothes, he went back to his room to do his own thing. Lin Youwei stayed in the study for a while, maybe because he was too depressed in the study, so he came out.
Seeing that Yan Xiao was not in the yard, he walked to the door of Yan Xiao's room, but he stood for a while, raised his hand and then lowered it. In the end, he didn't knock on the door and went straight out of the backyard.
Yan Xiao was packing her clothes in the room. Although the door and window grids were covered with paper, she still saw a person standing at the door through the light. She knew that it was Lin Youwei, but she had no intention of opening the door for Lin Youwei.
After all, she had said everything that needed to be said. As for whether Lin Youwei would tell his mother or not, that was Lin Youwei's own business.
Seeing that Lin Youwei stood in front of his door for a while and then left, Yan Xiao didn't think much about it.
Lin Youwei came to the front yard. Song Zhiyue walked around in the yard, looking at the backyard from time to time. When he saw Lin Youwei coming out, he hurriedly went up and asked:
"How was it? What did she say?"
Lin Youwei glanced at his mother, sighed and said, "Mom, I haven't done anything shady at all. You should stop making random guesses all day long. This is not good."
"Then how can you say I'm just making random guesses? She runs outside before dawn every day and only comes back in the afternoon. This is something everyone would find strange." Song Zhiyue said angrily.
Lin Youwei walked with Song Zhiyue in the front yard. He said: "Xiaoxiao, she didn't do anything excessive. She just opened a shop outside, which is the shop where Yuqing sells soup today."
"Pandian? Where does she get the money? I don't give her more than two hundred cash every day, so she sells vegetables." Song Zhiyue said, thinking about it while talking.
"She couldn't have taken something from home to sell! No, I have to go to my room to see if those things are still there." Song Zhiyue said and walked to her room.
Lin Youwei saw this and quickly grabbed Song Zhiyue, feeling very unhappy with his mother's behavior.
"Mom, how can Xiaoxiao be as bad as you said? Besides, do we have anything valuable at home? If we did, I would have used it long ago, so why would it be her turn!"
When Song Zhiyue heard Lin Youwei's first sentence, she had no problem raising her hand. When she heard Lin Youwei's last sentence, she raised her hand and gave Lin Youwei a slap on the forehead.
"I found that your kid was really fascinated by that girl, and tried every means to talk to her. What do you mean our family doesn't have anything valuable? Even if she didn't sell our family's things, then the source of her money was not right.
.”
After Song Zhiyue finished speaking, she muttered that maybe it was given to him by that ungrateful person.
"No, Yan Xiao's friend lent her the money." Lin Youwei explained.
When Song Zhiyue heard that Yan Xiao's friend lent Yan Xiao money to open a restaurant, her face was full of disdain. "Her friend is so generous, how can he lend her so much money? Let her invest in such a restaurant?"
"They are the two women who came back with a smile last time. One of them is the most famous embroiderer in Xunyang, and the other is the daughter of the Yue family, a cloth merchant. Naturally, they are not short of money."
Song Zhiyue listened and said: "I didn't expect that she jumped into a well and made others smarter. She already knew that she borrowed money to open a restaurant. Did she buy or rent the restaurant?"
"It was rented for three years." Lin Youwei said truthfully.
Song Zhiyue listened to Lin Youwei's words and said nothing for a long time. Lin Youwei looked at his mother and didn't know what his mother was thinking.
Indeed, Yan Xiao has been a little different since he jumped into the well, but he thinks this is not a bad thing. Compared with the fierce Yan Xiao now, he feels that the previous Yan Xiao was too calm and could make the family ignore her at any time.
The existence of Yanxiao now, although he has a bad temper, he feels that he is very different from others.
"Isn't what she said lying to you?" Song Zhiyue turned around and looked at Lin Youwei.
Lin Youwei came back to his senses and said, "No, Xiaoxiao just showed me the lease, it's three years."
Song Zhiyue nodded after hearing this and was silent again. After a while, Song Zhiyue said, "Go and call Yan Xiao over. I have something to tell her."
Lin Youwei listened without moving and looked at Song Zhiyue, asking Song Zhiyue to explain clearly why he called Yan Xiao over.
"What? Are you still afraid that I will bully your daughter-in-law? You are so big that you have to bend your arms outward." Song Zhiyue said angrily.
"Mom, you can't tell the truth that Yan Xiao is an outsider, otherwise Yan Xiao will be very uncomfortable. Since I have paid homage to Yan Xiao and paid homage to my ancestors, she is now a member of my Lin family." Lin Youwei,
"I know, hurry up and call me over." Song Zhiyue said impatiently.
When Lin Youwei saw that Song Zhiyue agreed to his words, he turned around to talk to Yanxiao.
Song Zhiyue watched Lin Youwei enter the backyard and said, "This is a stubborn person, just like your father."
Lin Youwei entered the backyard. Hong Zhao and Sun's mother were still in the room, but they didn't speak loudly. There were intermittent sentences coming from the window. Lin Youwei walked to Yan Xiao's door and knocked on the door and said, "Mother, call me."
You go over there."
Hearing this, Yan Xiao opened the door, looked at the expression on Lin Youwei's face, and said, "Have you told your mother?"
Lin Youwei nodded and looked at the expression on Yan Xiao's face. Lin Youwei doubted in his heart whether he had done the right thing or not. Maybe he should help Yan Xiao keep this secret.
Yan Xiao said, "I know, just wait for me, I'll be here soon." After Yan Xiao said that, he turned around and picked up the box on the table. Lin Youwei was shocked again when he saw the box Yan Xiao put on the table. It turned out that
, had she expected that she would go back and tell her mother?
Lin Youwei stood at her door for a while and then left. Yan Xiao guessed that Lin Youwei was going to tell Song Zhiyue about her store. When she was packing her clothes, she took out the box and waited for Lin Youwei.
Come and call yourself.
Yan Xiao took the box, walked out of the room, closed the door, and said to Lin Youwei: "I'm going by myself, so you don't need to lead the way. You can go as you should. Of course, if you want to watch the fun, it doesn't matter if you go, but
I can't guarantee whether I will accidentally hurt you."
Lin Youwei frowned, looked at Yan and said with a smile, "Is this how you think of me?"
"Then what if? What can you do? Speak for your mother? Or for me? I told you earlier about our divorce, and you didn't agree, otherwise it wouldn't be so embarrassing now.
Yan Xiao looked at Lin Youwei and said calmly.
After Yan Xiao finished speaking, he left first without caring about the reaction on Lin Youwei's face.
Lin Youwei watched Yan Xiao go down the steps and called Yan Xiao to stop.
"Why do you have to make peace with me?"
"There is no reason. I just feel that we should not be together and are not suitable to be together." Yan Xiao still cannot forgive the death of the original owner. Although Lin Youwei did not kill the original owner directly, the original owner did die because of Lin Youwei.
Yan Xiao took the box to the front yard. Seeing that Song Zhiyue was not in the yard, he went directly to the main hall. As soon as he walked to the door of the main hall, he saw Song Zhiyue sitting high up.
After Yan Xiao entered, he sat down directly below.
Song Zhiyue was sitting on it drinking tea. When Yan Xiao came in, Song Zhiyue noticed the box in Yan Xiao's hand and guessed that it must be Yan Xiao's lease. However, Song Zhiyue was not in a hurry to ask Yan Xiao.
Waiting for Yan Xiao to admit his mistake, Song Zhiyue drank all the tea, but Yan Xiao remained unmoved.
Song Zhiyue was the first to break the silence. She put down her tea cup, straightened her sleeves and said, "You said you opened a restaurant on Dongshi West Street?"
"yes."
"You said you borrowed the money from two of your friends?"
"yes."
"You rented that restaurant for three years?"
"yes."
"I heard that your restaurant's business has been pretty good recently?"
"Yes, barely not losing money."
"You know why I asked Youwei to call you over, right?" Seeing Yanxiao, Song Zhiyue only said one word to herself every time she spoke. In comparison, she seemed to be particularly disrespectful as an elder, and she felt very unhappy.
If it weren't for the lease in Yan Xiao's hand, Song Zhiyue would have fallen out with Yan Xiao on the spot.
"I don't know, but if you want to know something, you can just ask me directly. Don't be so entangled. I will definitely tell you everything." Yan Xiao turned his head and looked at Song Zhiyue.
"You are already the daughter-in-law of my Lin family. As the saying goes, when you get married, everything should be taken care of by your husband's family. It is really inconvenient for you to manage the restaurant by yourself. You have to call out the lease and account books of the restaurant.
, I will take care of it for you. It will save you a little girl running around outside all day long, which will damage the appearance of my Lin family." Song Zhiyue said slowly.
Yan Xiao sneered in his heart after hearing this, knowing that you came to my restaurant for this.
"Okay, but I have something to say first. If you really want this restaurant, it's not impossible. I have conditions. First, Lin Youwei must make peace with me, and the divorce letter must make it clear that I am not at fault. Second,
Lin Youwei must have told you the origin of this restaurant. My friend and I borrowed money to rent it. The total rent for three years was 34,000 taels, plus the purchase of 3,000 taels for the appliances in the store. Please
The 5,000 taels that the craftsmen paid for renovating the restaurant, as well as the wages for the waiters and cooks in the shop, were also advanced by my two friends. These add up to a total of 45,000 taels, and you will need to pay back this money."
Song Zhiyue was so angry that she gritted her teeth when she heard the sum calculated by Yan Xiao. This money would have been nothing in the past. But the Lin family now is no longer the Lin family before. Now the family's shop and Zhuangzi together can earn a monthly income of
The income of two thousand taels is already very good. How can I have the money to pay off such a huge debt?
"I was just joking with you, but you took it seriously. You rented this restaurant, and of course you manage it yourself. I just think it's not good for you to show your face like this. Besides, for people like us,
Family, opening a restaurant is really not suitable for our status." Song Zhiyue said.
When Yan Xiao heard Song Zhiyue's words, he stood up and looked at Song Zhiyue and asked word for word: "Mrs. Lin, I'm curious, what is the identity of your Lin family? Is it a scholarly family? Or is it a noble family? Tiantian said
With your status in the Lin family, you look down on this person and look down on that person every day. The first time my friend sent me home, I showed my face to others, why do they owe you?"
"Tiantian said that he couldn't show his face in public, and that he was sorry for the face of your Lin family. If you really cared about the face of your Lin family, how could you allow Lin Youwei to find a random woman outside, and how could you still laugh and commit suicide by jumping into a well? You
If you really care about the reputation of the Lin family, how can you allow Lin Youwei, who is in his twenties, to still rely on his family to survive?"
"You don't care about the Lin family's reputation at all, you just care about yourself. You are afraid that you will lose your status every time you are with that wife of the Liu family. You are afraid that others will look down on you, and you are afraid that others will gossip about you behind your back. So,
After Yanxiao jumped into the well, you just left her on the bed and left her to fend for herself."
The more Yan Xiao spoke, the more excited she became. Every time she said a word, Yan Xiao took a step forward until she reached Song Zhiyue. She was leaning on the chair with both hands, tears dripping from her eyes, and red bloodshot eyes were covered with them.
Song Zhiyue was so frightened by Yan Xiao's almost crazy appearance that she shrank in her chair and did not dare to say a word.
Lin Youwei had always been worried about Yan Xiao, fearing that his mother would make Yan Xiao look bad, so he stood guard outside the house. When he heard the noise in the house, he rushed in quickly. When he saw Yan Xiao forcing his mother to a chair, she could not speak.
He immediately went up and pulled Yanxiao away.
"Yanxiao, what are you doing?"
Lin Youwei's words were accompanied by a slap. Yan Xiao covered his left cheek and looked at Lin Youwei. This was the first time he had been slapped in the face by a man in this world. Yan Xiao looked at Lin Youwei,
Hatred filled Yan Xiao's eyes.
Lin Youwei realized that he had hit Yan Xiao, and when he saw the red mark on Yan Xiao's face, he immediately regretted it. He said: "Xiao Xiao, listen to me, I didn't mean it. I thought you wanted to,"
"Shut up, Lin Youwei. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
Yan Xiao picked up the box on the small table and strode out.
Lin Youwei quickly chased after Yan Xiao, grabbed Yan Xiao's sleeve, and said, "Xiao Xiao, listen to me and explain to you."
Song Zhiyue saw that her son was still pulling Yan Xiao, and she immediately became angry. She said: "If she wants to leave, just let her go. I don't have such an ignorant daughter-in-law in the Lin family."
Hearing this, Yan Xiao threw off Lin Youwei's clothes and ran out. Lin Youwei wanted to chase after him. When Song Zhiyue saw this, he screamed.
Lin Youwei didn't believe it when he heard his mother's screams, but when he saw his mother's face turned ugly, she turned around and supported Song Zhiyue. This chapter has been completed!
