There will be bleeding no matter what, but how much will be given?
This conversation confused Old Mrs. Lin, and he was a little undecided for a moment. If there was less sincerity, An Ning would not do it. But if there was too much... I really couldn't bear to part with it.
How difficult it is!
Lin Ji expressed his opinion for the first time, "Brother An, most of the property I got back was in An's hometown. It's far away from the Lin family and I can't take care of it. My second brother is busy in office and can't take care of it. So,
What's the difference between taking it back and not taking it back? So, slowly, a lot of money was sold out. The silver coins I got back were all used to buy land in Henan and Shandong. You may know this. But what you don't know is,
It's the source of these lands... It's not convenient for me to say more about the things inside. I can only tell you that this is a gift from the emperor. Otherwise, even if I have 50% more silver, I may not be able to buy it! We are talking
If these things are not taken into consideration, it would be an injustice to the Lin family!"
As soon as Lin said it, the old man nodded.
An Ning also knew, so he nodded, "What Brother Lin said makes sense. However, I'm afraid there are some things that Uncle Lin and Brother Lin don't know about... Brother Lin, your role in this matter is
Not small. But my brother-in-law was not incapable of obtaining and protecting this property at that time... The reason why the Lin family got it... is because my brother-in-law wanted it this way."
Old man Lin, old lady and Lin Ji were all a little surprised.
An Ning said, "My brother-in-law... said that his grandfather was a man of great wisdom. He was lucky and allowed the Lin family to gain a foothold in the capital. My father... is Uncle Lin. He is gentle and honest, but not as capable as his grandfather."
Old Mrs. Lin grinned, isn't that what happened?
An Ning said, "The second uncle, who was more shrewd and capable, was in poor health. After the family was separated, he died young. The reason why the Lin family can still be stable and prosperous in the capital is because the emperor values elder brother Lin. But this is not a long-term solution. If
The Lin family will go downhill quickly without the support of industry. My brother-in-law said that he should have been the one to support the Lin family...but he had no choice but to stay away from the capital."
After listening to this, Mr. Lin suddenly turned his eyes and looked at his wife intently.
There are some things that he has never thought about before, nor is he willing to think about...
Mrs. Lin's heart skipped a beat and her eyes dodged.
An Ning continued, "Although my brother-in-law does not regret this choice, he still feels guilty towards the Lin family. Therefore, it was him who told his sister that he would hand over this property to the Lin family. And he promised that the Lin family and he would be in good hands.
Treat my sister and Lin Zhixiu. My sister... loves her brother-in-law the most. She will not object to anything he says. Uncle Lin, my sister, is actually a person who is affectionate and righteous, simple-minded and kind-hearted, and does not value money.
What a strange woman."
You, the Lin family, failed her.
"That's why what happened next. Uncle Lin, I want this property because its surname is An, which means inheritance. The younger generation wants to get married, to continue the incest for their parents, and not to be a prodigal! It's not... really
I care about this money. If I have the ability to support myself and my wife, I can also give her a generous dowry when she gets married."
The old man's face felt a little hot as he listened. He had already said this, and if he wanted to lose face, he should give it all back.
But... the second son is right! Without this industry, how long can the Lin family... last?
The old man's face was hot and his heart ached. He had no choice but to take care of the Lin family. My face is nothing. I had to grit my teeth and cut through the mess quickly. "Nephew, then, in this way, the Lin family will take your sister's dowry and return it all. The income earned over the years can be regarded as filial piety."
She's an old woman, shut her mouth! From now on, she has nothing to say. I'll give you 25% of An's property. What do you think?"
The old lady heard the contempt for herself in her husband's words. She was worried and angry, but she did not dare to vent.
The plan proposed by Mrs. Lin was to allow An Ning to object and allow room for bargaining.
In the end, An Ning just nodded, "Juniors don't want so many, just 20%!"
When the old man and Lin Ji heard this, they were very surprised.
An Ning nodded solemnly, "That's it, 20% of the property, the shop in the capital, and the belongings my sister left in the house. These are the three things! I don't want any of the income and income for so many years! Use it in exchange for a guarantee!"
The old man murmured, "What...what guarantee?!"
"Make it clear about the contribution my sister and brother-in-law have made to the Lin family. I don't want to hear anyone say that my sister and brother-in-law are unfilial again! I don't want to hear that my niece is an orphan with no parents and no property, relying on her grandparents and uncle to support her! Finally, Lin Zhi
Xiu’s marriage requires my consent!”
The old man was so upset that he couldn't care about it for a while and wanted to settle the matter while it was hot. "Okay! I agree. Xiu girl is my legitimate granddaughter, just like my other granddaughters! When she was in the boudoir, Jin Yi
No one will treat her badly. Then, she will find a reliable person to entrust her to for life, and will support her after she gets married... Of course, you, as an uncle, also have the right to discuss with the Lin family. Her dowry will be paid according to the law.
The standard payment for the eldest daughter! The old man agreed to these on behalf of the Lin family. My eldest son is here, and he also heard it!"
Lin Ji quickly nodded, "The son should obey his father's wishes."
Only the old lady was unwilling to accept "Where is Lin Feng?"
An Ning said, "Lin Feng is the grandson of the Lin family. How he is treated is beyond An Ning's control. When he gets married, I, as an uncle, will naturally express my feelings."
The old lady blushed and was extremely embarrassed.
The old man nodded, let's do it! It's a foregone conclusion that An Ning will be adopted. If you don't give it at all, the Lin family will be in big trouble. What's more, take this opportunity to straighten things out and complete the procedures. It's better than before.
It's more secure to hold it in case a thunder blows up one day.
Then the expression on his face became brighter, "An Ning is a cheerful person, so let's draft something!"
Lin Ji said, "Brother An, we have just settled all the previous matters. From now on, we will only talk about family ties."
An Ning said, "Uncle Lin, Brother Lin, it's settled."
After the matter was discussed, the Lin family was about to prepare things. An Ning was taken to Chaoyunju by the eldest girl next to the old lady.
Lin Zhixiu had been waiting in the yard for a long time. Seeing him come in, she quickly ran out of the house with a smile on her face, "Uncle!"
An Ning took a look and saw a beautiful girl running towards him. She is so beautiful, "Xiu'er! My God, my uncle doesn't even dare to recognize you! You've grown a lot taller and you're even more beautiful!"
The two of them haven't seen each other for almost two years.
Lin Zhixiu looked at An Ning, her expression was very good, she was well-groomed, and she was relieved, "Xiu'er hasn't seen uncle for a year and a half? Of course he is a lot taller. Uncle, you look so impressive!"
An Ning said, "Haha, uncle has gained some weight, right? He drinks a lot of wine these days!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "You are so impressive! Uncle, are everything okay?"
An Ning said, "Everything is fine! Just very busy! When you settle down, uncle will take you to Jinyu Alley to have a look. He has prepared a yard for you. It is very beautiful, but it has not been cleaned up. Uncle really has no time, so he thought,
Decorate your yard according to your own wishes."
Lin Zhixiu said happily, "Hey, uncle, I will buy Xiu'er a kitten then."
"Okay, uncle has been to the flower and bird market, and there is a very beautiful kitten! The two eyes are different colors."
Lin Zhixiu led her uncle, "Okay, uncle, this is Chaoyunju of the Lin family."
An Ning looked around in the yard and house, and nodded, "This yard is not bad!"
Lin Zhixiu blinked, "It's indeed good."
An Ning looked at her and smiled knowingly and said, "Xiu'er, uncle knows you are capable! But, Xiu'er, uncle is very good now. The prince thinks highly of her and has made a lot of money. You don't have to be like you in the past."
I have been thinking so hard, uncle, I can support you!"
"Yes, Xiu'er knows! Uncle, what were you talking about just now?"
An Ning smiled to herself, still unable to let go of these things. "Just now..." He told the old man, Lin Ji and the old lady what they had discussed.
Lin Zhixiu was a little surprised, "Ah?!" He only asked for 20%?
An Ning said, "Xiu'er, what we were talking about at the beginning was that if you get 50%, you should get at least 30%. My uncle knows that you are worried about your parents and want the Lin family to pay the price. Your uncle also thought so at the beginning, but you
Day by day, you are now a grown-up girl, and you are about to get engaged. Although you are smart and capable, and you have me as your uncle, your surname is Lin after all! The Lin family, to a large extent, can take charge of your marriage. A girl's family,
In this matter, there can be no mistakes. Your parents don't care about property, but they care about you, their daughter! So my uncle is not willing to get too entangled with the Lin family, but gives up a piece of property and wants to
I made a promise from the Lin family: they are not allowed to criticize your parents anymore. Your marriage must be approved by your uncle. You are so outstanding, and your uncle must guard against them blindly marrying you out for their own purposes!"
"Uncle...you love Xiu'er the most." Lin Zhixiu was disappointed and moved at the same time.
My uncle didn't know what the Lin family owed him in his previous life, but he was brave enough to give up his vast wealth just for himself...
Even though it's only 10% less, that's not a decimal.
One party is his adopted uncle, and the other party is his blood relative.
Fortunately, I have an uncle. Fortunately, I no longer place my hope on them.
An Ning smiled and said, "Besides, the shops in the capital have been brought back and put into your hands. From now on, there will be thousands of taels of silver coming in every year. With more money in hand, it will be easier for you to do the things you want to do."
Lin Zhixiu nodded, "Okay. Uncle, this is good."
I bought flowers yesterday and put them in the room. My mood improved a lot.
