——*——*——*——
A bright light suddenly flashed on the dark sky, and then a dull thunder sounded from far to near. Almost at the same time, a cold wind blew up, and raindrops the size of soybeans fell down, creating a cool feeling mixed with moisture.
Rushing towards me, everything was completely white in an instant, and the rainwater falling on the roof flowed down along the eaves, almost forming a curtain of water.
Lin Jinyin stood on the porch sadly, letting the rain splash and soaking her shoes and clothes, and listened to the quarrel between her parents in the house.
Mr. Lin San said loudly: "Please tell me clearly, why didn't I know anything about such a big thing? Who do I really look like in the eyes of your brother and sister?"
Mrs. Tao said sharply: "You are so strange. My brother is spending his own money without using your Lin family's money. Why does he need your permission? Is it possible that your surname is Tao?"
Mr. Lin San smashed things: "He's so kind! He often gives you things for no reason, why don't you see him give me some? It's obviously selfish of you. You took so much money for nothing, but you still kept it from me.
!”
This sentence can be regarded as poking a hornet's nest. Tao cursed: "My brother is happy to give me something! If I don't give you something, you don't deserve it! Lin Rugong, if you dare to smash my things again, I will give you your torn paper drawings."
Burn it! Do you believe it or not? You still know it’s my dowry? Why don’t you just say it’s your money? It’s so shameless!”
Mr. Lin San's self-esteem was seriously hurt, and his voice was trembling: "How do you think you got your dowry? It wasn't my family's betrothal gift in exchange for it!"
Mrs. Tao's voice became louder and louder: "I'm sorry to say it! My family's dowry is nearly three times that of yours. I still have the betrothal gift list written by your family. Do you want to take a look at it? The father-in-law paid less than one-third of the money for marrying his daughter.
One, I'm filling in the rest, and there are several more below. Is your share enough?! If you can, don't use my dowry, use your own money!"
"I won't talk to you about this!" Mr. Lin San began to lose. "The law also stipulates that the husband is the main owner of a woman's dowry assets and property purchased with dowry money. Three obediences and four virtues, obey your husband when you marry, you asked me
?No matter where you go, you always make no sense!"
"Law? Bah!" Mrs. Tao spat, "How dare you say such a thing? Come and get my dowry if you can? Look at how Pingzhou people drown you with their spit! The Lin family has a good man.
, you will rob your wife of her dowry! What a skill you have!"
Indeed, the law stipulates this, but it is customary to belong to the woman's title, and she has the right to control. This is the case among the people. Even in court, they will favor the woman. Mr. Lin San has nothing to do.
He retorted and yelled at the top of his lungs: "Tao Cailing, you shrew! Who stole your dowry? He gave you something, why didn't you repay the favor? Why don't you use my money to repay it! I can't teach you a lesson, you
I simply don’t know what the sky and the earth are!”
"Where did your money and the pile of junk paper and rocks in your room come from? To repay the favor, they give you gifts every year and festival, how many favors have we repaid?" Tao refused to budge: "Lin Rugong, you have
If you can’t kill me, you can kill me, if you can’t kill me, you can wait to die!”
"If his boy wants to marry my girl, shouldn't he give gifts? Oh, by the way, my family gave your family a lot of gifts back then, and that should also be included in the betrothal gift!"
"You are so good at calculating accounts and calculating accurately!"
There was a loud crackling sound, and it was not clear who hit whom. Anyway, both of them were silent and silent. When Lin Jinyin heard that her dowry was being mentioned, she felt extremely sad and sore. She also listened to her parents talking about old stories and comparing who was better.
There were too many dowries for the wedding, and I felt embarrassed. I really couldn't stand it. Just as I was about to knock on the door desperately, Lin Jinrong, who was soaked all over, rushed over and smashed the door: "Open the door! Open the door! Why should you close the door outside?"
Even in the heavy rain, there were people squatting down to listen to the excitement, and they were so happy when they heard it, it would be better to open the door and call them directly to see it!"
It was suddenly quiet inside.
After a long time, the door opened. Mrs. Tao stood at the door with a straight face, scolding Lin Jinrong angrily: "Look at you like this, you don't have any rules at all! Come in and change clothes quickly!"
Lin Jinrong saw that her clothes were neat and tidy, but her face was flushed with anger, and she was still a little out of breath. He knew that the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light, so it was no big deal. He glanced into the room and saw everything on the floor.
There were messes, books, pillows, cushions, feather dusters, etc. everywhere. Master Lin San was wearing a Taoist robe, his bun was askew, standing by the window, breathing heavily, and his eyes were darting towards Mrs. Tao.
knife.
Lin Jinrong took the cloak handed by Gong's mother and wrapped it around herself. She lowered her eyes and said, "When I came in just now, there were two or three people squatting there by the door of the courtyard, not afraid of the rain, listening to jokes. They only saw me coming.
Run away! I don’t know which yard it is from?”
Mrs. Tao hated the people who were hiding outside to watch the fun. She knew who among her sisters-in-law was instigating the instigation. She wanted to tear them to pieces to relieve her anger. So she sneered: "Who could be there? It's just someone who can't be seen.
I have a good brother who came here deliberately to cause trouble for me. But someone got stupid and listened to what he said and came to work as a thug. This time the others were happy and satisfied. "
Mr. Lin San also came back to his senses and said angrily, "It's your fault that you didn't tell me! I don't want to quarrel with you in front of my daughter, so don't mess with me!"
Why should I tell you when my mother-in-law gives me something? What are you doing? Mrs. Tao snorted and said, "Nanny, tell me who bought this land and did it cost me any money?"
Lin Jinrong said: "It was a gift from my uncle. My uncle bought a total of eighty acres of land, half of which was given to me and half to my seventh brother. It's nothing to throw away. You may make a profit when it becomes fertile land." I kept this matter secret.
There was no need to hide it anymore, but she never said that she insisted on buying it and used her own money. Secretly, she wanted to put all the credit for buying the saline-alkali land on Tao Shunqin.
Mr. Lin thought for a long time and suddenly asked: "Is it really possible to make money?" Tao Shunqin has a bright mind and rarely loses money in business. Even Mr. Lin, although he often criticizes him for not doing his job properly, Tao Shunqin always makes money every time he comes to the door.
It’s also very face-saving.
Mrs. Tao rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Mr. Lin San said shamelessly: "How about we buy some more?"
Mr. Tao stepped aside and said, "No money! The third master bought it with his own money."
"Are you stupid?" Mr. Lin San said confidently: "Use my money to buy it, and everyone will get it in the future? Do you want your brother and sister-in-law to come and share it with us? Just use your dowry to buy it."
In fact, you want to buy a property for that bitch Lin Yizhi, right? Tao sneered and said nothing.
Mr. Lin San sat for a while. Seeing that the rain outside had lightened up, he stood up and said, "That's it. I'll go see the land tomorrow."
Mrs. Tao's anger rushed to her throat, and she was about to explode, when she saw her two daughters winking at her at the same time. She managed to hold back a breath, and then thought, if it is written in her name, it is her own asset, and she will be the one to keep it in the future.
It was left to Lin Shenzhi, and no one could do anything. He smiled and said, "Third Master, let's go buy it. But let me say up front that I have no money. I have to keep my money to prepare dowries and shopping for my three children."
Betrothal wealth. I want my daughter’s dowry to be two or three times higher than others, and my son’s betrothal wealth will not be underestimated.”
Master Lin San was angry: "I have money! I don't want it from you!"
Lin Jinyin hurriedly reminded him: "Dad, you should be careful. Uncle said that he is not sure. It doesn't cost much. It doesn't matter if you have it or not. He has money, but we are different... What if that happens?
,you……"
Being looked down upon by his daughter, Mr. Lin San said angrily: "I will buy it! I can afford to pay for it!"
Lin Jinrong winked at Lin Jinyin, meaning to leave him alone and let him go. She felt that even if she had taken advantage of everyone in the world, don't stay until the end to take advantage of Lu Yan.
Lin Jinyin was silent. Although she hid a lot of things for Lin Jinrong, she felt very conflicted. She didn't agree with Lin Jinrong's behavior. He was too enthusiastic about money and valued money too much, as if he was crazy. But she always loved her.
Tao Shunqin, who admired and trusted Lin Jinrong, seemed to agree with Lin Jinrong's behavior, which made her have doubts. She didn't know how to deal with Lin Jinrong's behavior for a while.
Lin Jinrong saw her contradiction and hesitation, so he changed his clothes, drank the ginger soup brought by Chun Ya, sat next to her, touched her shoulder lightly, and whispered: "I didn't expect uncle to be so
It's a big deal, but I don't want to owe him too much and embarrass myself in front of my cousins. I will obey the authority when it comes to matters of urgency, and I promise that I will never do something as embarrassing as selling jewelry again."
Lin Jinyin ignored her, but the corners of her lips curved slightly.
Lin Jinrong shamelessly bumped into him, and the two sisters fell on the couch together. Lin Jinyin turned over, pinched Lin Jinrong fiercely, and whispered: "Why don't you come to me?"
Lin Jinrong whispered in her ear: "Isn't your money the same as your uncle's family's money? What's the difference?"
Lin Jinyin was so embarrassed that she refused to forgive her. The two sisters got into a fight and laughed so hard that they couldn't breathe. Mrs. Tao, who was full of resentment and anger, couldn't help but calm down when she saw this, and one of them stepped forward and gave her a gentle slap.
He slapped her: "Go, go, you are a big girl and you are still making such nonsense?"
The next day, Mr. Lin San went to see the salt-alkali land in a furious manner. He originally planned to buy an eighty-cent piece that was no less than Tao Shunqin's, but when things happened, he changed it to forty-cent piece. The people in the government office raised the price and insisted.
One hundred pennies per acre was not enough, so he got angry and changed it to ten cents. It was too much to spend a hundred pennies, and he repeatedly cursed the people of the government as being evil.
Tao laughed at him: "How much money did you think you had?"
Mr. Lin San shouted: "My family already has so many, why buy so many more? How can we buy all the saline-alkali land in the world? Let me ask you, what do you think of Yizhi's marriage?"
Father asked about it before."
Mrs. Tao said calmly: "We have recommended a few in Pingzhou, and there are also suitable ones in Qingzhou. When I go to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday, I will stay in Qingzhou for a few more days to see each other. I will inform my parents-in-law after I decide.
"
The tacit understanding between the couple formed over many years of fighting was a sign that neither of them wanted to quarrel. Mr. Lin San stopped interfering and pretended to order: "You are so lucky, don't let others laugh at you." Then he waddled out to show off.
How big a piece of land Mr. Tao bought, and how good it would be in the future, was ridiculed by everyone. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said that they were all jealous and had no courage.
The matter quickly reached the ears of Mr. Lin. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) (To be continued.)
