Tu's reaction seemed to be expected. Lin Jinrong silently handed over a cup of warm tea and gently stroked Lu Mian's hand to express comfort.
Lu Yan was probably thirsty because of what he said earlier. When he saw the tea, he drank it all in one gulp. The tea was neither hot nor cold, and the temperature was right. It just extinguished a lot of the dryness in his heart. He grew a
He sat down on the chair, rested for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I just found out today that she invested more than that."
It turned out that Mrs. Tu couldn't keep her mouth shut, so she told the Tu family about this and asked her mother-in-law's family if they wanted to get rich together. Who doesn't want to get rich? Of course the Tu family also wanted to invest money, but they had no money. What should they do if they don't have money?
I borrowed it from Mr. Tu, who had just become rich and could be the master of his own family. Mr. Tu was willing to give it to me when he had no money in the past, but now, he agreed.
If she had made money, it would be fine, and she could deduct it when she distributed dividends. But now that all the money has been wasted, how can she ask anyone to pay back the money? The land that the Tu family used to maintain their livelihood was the same land that Lu Mian tried every means to save pocket money and borrowed from Lin Jinrong.
Dongfeng had made money from buying and selling spices and grain, so she couldn't ask them to sell their land to pay back the money, right? According to the Tu family's custom, it would be better if she didn't cry and make trouble and ask her for money.
If she was a person who could think openly, she would tolerate it. But Mrs. Tu is a person who cannot think clearly. She will suffer losses no matter how she thinks, and feel pain in her body no matter how she thinks. While she blames the second roommate, she also puts her hope on the first room, hoping that the first room can
She tried to find some way to get it back. But she didn't dare to offend Lu Jianxin and Lu Jianzhong, so she could only cry to Lu Jian and complain to Lu Jianzhong.
Lin Jinrong roughly sorted out what happened, looked at Lu Yan sympathetically, and said deliberately: "The third aunt is really kind-hearted, and she is extremely kind to her family."
Lu Yan was silent for a moment and said calmly: "When I helped them redeem their land, I said that this was the last time I would help them. The bottomless pit will never be filled. Since she insisted on not listening to my advice, she volunteered to give money to help.
People should be prepared to lose money. They come to make trouble with me just because they think I will be the same as last time." The Tu family forced Tu, and Tu came to force him again, all because they thought the other party was rich.
, and can be forced out.
Lin Jinrong said: "Now the sixth brother is not at home, the third uncle is ill, and no one can count on the third aunt. She probably thinks that you are reliable, so she will make trouble with you. Just follow her, and there are only a few things left or right."
It’s just a matter of words, and there’s nothing wrong with coaxing her.”
"It's not good to coax her." Lu Mian said noncommittally: "If she comes to see Yi Lang, or makes you cry, you ask her to come to me. You say you can't control it and don't know anything. Don't make promises, let alone
Don't give her anything, she's not at the point where she can't survive yet." He knew best what Mrs. Tu wanted to hear. As long as he told Mrs. Tu, no matter how much the compensation was, he would subsidize her and ensure that Mrs. Tu would stop making trouble immediately.
But he would never say this. Some people cannot have extra money in their hands, otherwise it will become a burden.
Lin Jinrong smiled, but did not answer or comment. At most, Tu dared to shed a few tears in front of her, but he did not dare to make her cry or anything like that.
She didn't say much, but Lu Yan wanted to tell her more: "These days, I feel that she understands a little, but then she becomes confused again. My third uncle is sick, and instead of comforting him, she just keeps crying.
Spoiled."
There is a saying that goes well, it is easy to change the situation, but it is hard to change the nature. This is the case with the Tu family. It is easy to say that things go smoothly, but the true colors are revealed when encountering setbacks. Lin Jinrong stood up and said: "I will let someone set the food first, and we will talk while we eat."
In a flash, dinner was laid, and Lu Yan told Lin Jinrong the details he knew: "Wu Xiang said that he couldn't help it. Someone has been watching Mei Baoqing since the early days. At first, he just thought he was just like us.
He was worried about losing money, so he didn't take it to heart. The man didn't show up until the fleet came back. It wasn't until the fleet came back that the man showed up again... Later, when he thought about it carefully, Mei Baoqing was probably someone.
Let’s calculate, if the storm hadn’t damaged those ten ships, the more cargo there was, the more serious the crime would be. Of course, Mei Baoqing himself is not clean, and he cannot escape the crime of smuggling.”
Mei Baoqing is a habitual smuggler and a big dealer. But really speaking, apart from the Lin family, how clean are the Tao, Lu, and Wu families? Aren't they all taking advantage of the foreclosure business? Lin Jinrong stroked his forehead.
: "I remember that when I was in Beijing, I mentioned Mei Baoqing to Zhang Shanniang. Zhang Shanniang said that she would bite her hands when she had too much money."
Lu Yan pondered for a moment and said: "Now it depends on whether the connections he has established in the past will work. I remember that he has a biological sister who was sent to the palace, and she also has a formal title." After a pause, he lowered his voice.
He said in a voice: "It's either a blessing or a curse!" At this point, he became a little nervous: "If it's a disaster, they will definitely get him and the people above him, and it may involve a lot of things." Maybe everything he did in the past will be involved.
When they came out, Pingzhou's families were afraid that things would be uneasy.
Lin Jinrong handed over the bowls and chopsticks and said calmly: "No, it will definitely not involve us. Mei Baoqing is not that kind of person. He would probably pick one person to carry them all." It was true that the Lu family lost money back then.
But she had never heard of him being involved in such a thing, so she was sure of it.
Lu Yan gave a wry smile: "Even if we are involved, there is nothing we can do about it. We can talk about it wherever we go and eat."
The couple had just finished dinner, and Fangzhu was waiting outside. Lin Jinrong called her in and asked, "What did the Third Master say?"
Fangzhu said: "The third master also learned the news. He also got a message sent by Master Mei. He originally wanted to come over in person to say it earlier, but because the slave passed by, he asked the slave to bring the message.
Mr. Mei's original words are as follows: Mei Baoqing is sorry for everyone and has made everyone's money go down the drain. He apologizes to everyone. If you blame him for hating him, he will accept it. If you are considerate,
As long as he makes a comeback, he will not lose anyone; as for other things, they are his own business and have nothing to do with everyone, so please rest assured."
Just as Lin Jinrong guessed. Lu Yan looked at Lin Jinrong's calm expression, and unknowingly became calm, and said: "You can't blame him. He who signed the deed must have written about the loss.
It's very clear." As for whether Mei Baoqing can get out of trouble and make a comeback afterwards, and how he will repay these people, that is again unfounded and illusory. But Mei Baoqing always conveys his meaning, and he will not be implicated.
He has to bear it alone. I hope that others will not force him and leave him a way to survive. He will remember his kindness.
This person. Lin Jinrong sighed and discussed with Lu Yan: "No matter what, with so many people involved, it would be best to write a letter to Rong Qi and find out what happened, so that we can have an idea."
Lu Yan agreed and sent Fangzhu: "Follow us and tell the great master what you said."
Lu Jianxin sat in the room sadly, and he and Lin Yuzhen were speechless. Compared to Lin Yuzhen, he felt much sadder. Although he had been mentally prepared, after all, it was his years of savings, accumulated bit by bit.
Yes, if you say no, it will be gone, and you may still be involved. How can you not be depressed?
Lin Yuzhen discussed with him: "Don't worry, sir. It's not a big deal. Anyway, you didn't show up at the beginning and you invested in my name. Besides, we gave the money to him not to let him break the law. It's really not possible. Instead, we gave him the money."
Just go over and take a bite!”
Lu Jianxin said: "What do you know? When the old man was still alive, we had a lot of business dealings with him. Every year, just as much as 100,000 banned items were smuggled out of the Qingzhou forecourt and sold through his hands.
How much, I can say that I don’t know, but will people believe it? Is this a good bite?"
Lin Yuzhen had no choice but to say silently: "Have you sent someone to inquire about the news? You should have listened to Erlang and his wife from the beginning."
Lu Jianxin rubbed his brows and said unhappily: "What's the use of talking about this now?"
Suddenly I heard Aunt Fang saying from outside the curtain: "Master, Madam, Aunt He has made wolfberry porridge with her own hands."
Lu Jianxin looked up and saw a pair of narrow golden lotuses peeking out from under the curtain. Knowing that Aunt He was standing there, he peeked at Lin Yuzhen. Seeing Lin Yuzhen's face was solemn and silent, he tentatively said: "It's too late.
No matter how angry you are, you still have to eat, right?"
The mangy dog that can't be driven away is too much! Lin Yuzhen gritted her teeth and said, "Let her be sent in."
Aunt He walked in with a pot of porridge, looked at Lin Yuzhen gratefully, and then looked at Lu Jianxin with concern. Lu Jianxin was not in the mood to comfort her, so he just lowered his head and took the porridge bowl she handed over, and told Lin Yuzhen: "Your body is important.
, eat more.”
"Mrs. Eat some." Aunt He calmly served the porridge with both hands, brushing the edge of the bowl with her fingertips inadvertently. She thought Lin Yuzhen would be angry, but Lin Yuzhen took it and ate it with Lu Jianxin as if she didn't see it.
Already.
Lu Jianxin was in an extremely bad mood. He only ate half a bowl of porridge and couldn't finish it anyway. Before he put down the bowl, he heard Nanny Fang report again: "Master, madam, the second master and the second grandma are here. They say something is wrong."
To report."
Lu Jianxin didn't expect this matter to pass the exam to Lu Jian and his wife. He guessed that they were probably here to inquire about the information for others, so he half-heartedly said: "Let them come in." Seeing Fang Zhu follow him in, he couldn't help but look at him in confusion.
Lu Mian.
Lu Yan glanced at Aunt He who was standing by and said, "My son has just learned some news. I want to tell my father about it."
Lu Jianxin waved to Aunt He nonchalantly: "Get down!"
Aunt He retreated obediently.
Lu Yan then ordered Fangzhu to repeat Mei Baoqing's words, and then said: "When my son gets back, he will write a letter and send it to someone in the capital to inquire about this matter."
Lu Jianxin stroked his beard and thought for a long time, then said: "It's good for him to have such a consciousness, but I'm afraid others won't be able to let him go. However, if he is willing to give up money, it doesn't necessarily mean he can't get away." For this reason, he decided to
All we can do is wait.
