Long Lin was filled with joy and immediately felt relieved after hearing his grandfather's words.
"Grandpa, my grandson is in the Ministry of Rites. He wants to do something, but he still lacks some money."
As soon as Long Lin said these words, Lei Xiao suddenly understood.
It turned out that he wanted some money. Originally, he wanted to use some money to compensate for his debt to his grandson.
I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"Tell me, grandson, how much money do you need? It's not troublesome, grandpa will just get it for you."
"Thank you, Grandpa. Grandpa, I need 150,000 taels. The court is also short of money now. My father only allocated 50,000 taels to me. Now I am still short of 100,000 taels."
"How much? One hundred thousand taels?"
"Yeah, one hundred thousand taels."
When Lei Xiao heard this, he couldn't sit still immediately. If he hadn't been old, he might have jumped up.
Grandpa's reaction was so intense that Long Lin's heart immediately trembled.
His grandfather was a little better. Uncle Lei Ming stood up in shock after hearing the amount he said.
Uncle Lei Ming's eyes were wider than eggs.
These two people reacted so violently? Long Lin's heart sank instantly.
No, with such a big Lei Mansion and such a well-known grandfather and uncle, they wouldn't be as paupers as his father, right?
This is his last hope. If he still can't get the money, what else can he do?
The main reason is that time is a little tight, and he wants to make everything faster.
Long Lin couldn't continue to speak, he could only look at his grandfather helplessly.
Long Lin stared at his grandfather Lei Xiao, Lei Ming looked at his father in surprise, and Lei Xiao's old eyes were staring at the corner of the table in the distance.
None of the three people spoke, and they fell into silence for a moment.
Time passed slowly, Long Lin was going crazy with anxiety, but his face was calm.
What happened was a bit beyond his expectation. He originally thought that one hundred thousand taels was not a big amount for his grandfather.
But now it is not difficult to see that such a sum of money is also a very huge amount for the Lei family.
As for Lei Mansion's background, he couldn't make any wild guesses now, but it was definitely not as rich as he thought before.
Long Lin was a little puzzled. One hundred thousand taels of silver? Is it really that much for an important elder in the court?
Bibi and Zhongtang, isn’t that a drop in the bucket?
Bibi's compensation for ceding land is not even a drop in the bucket.
Lei Xiao was silent for a long time, and finally took a deep breath.
"Grandson, what do you want to do when you need so much money all at once?"
If it was a small amount of silver, Lei Xiao would not ask at all and would just take out the money.
But one hundred thousand taels was really too much for him, so much that he felt he couldn't bear it.
Hearing his grandfather speak again, Long Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that this old man would be obsessed with money, so he would be guilty of a big crime.
Long Lin opened his mouth and expressed all his thoughts. He wanted to rebuild the school so that more people could study.
In order to get his grandfather to agree, Long Lin also told him about the establishment of the card.
As soon as these words were spoken, the old man immediately started coughing violently. Uncle Lei Ming's eyes were full of angry glare.
After listening to his explanation, the two of them finally calmed down.
Judging from the two people's reactions, how could Long Lin not understand? He must have misunderstood.
The two of them thought he was cursing his grandfather to die.
How could he? This was his grandfather, and he was also his God of Wealth. Of course he only hoped that his grandfather would live a long life.
After he finished speaking, both of them understood what he was thinking.
Uncle Lei Ming's face was full of sorrow, but Grandpa Lei was a little better and calmer.
"Thunder, how much money do we still have in our house?"
When his father asked, Lei Ming thought for a while and said it.
"Father, the money in the house is probably less than one hundred thousand taels even if it is full."
Long Lin was nearby and could hear these words clearly.
Grandpa did not look at Lei Ming from beginning to end. Even when he asked that question, his eyes were looking at him.
From Lei Ming's reaction, Long Lin felt that his uncle must be telling the truth.
He didn't expect that his grandpa's family only had so little money in total.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately gave his grandfather a bargain. Now he didn't have to think about it. I was afraid he wouldn't be able to get much money.
Long Lin had given up hope. Grandpa only had one hundred thousand taels, and with such a big family, it was not easy to get him ten thousand taels.
In an instant, Long Lin felt a little discouraged and his expression became somewhat lost.
Lei Xiao saw everything in his eyes and looked very calm.
"Grandson, you have also heard that grandpa only has so much money. Let's do this. Grandpa will give you 60,000 taels."
"What? Grandpa, is it true?"
"Father? Is sixty thousand taels too much?"
Lei Ming and Long Lin spoke almost at the same time.
After hearing what Uncle Lei Ming said, Long Lin suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.
Lei Xiao turned his head and looked at Lei Ming, his eyes becoming very stern.
"Lei Ming, he is in trouble. I am his grandfather, shouldn't I help him?"
"He is not using this money for random expenses. It is for the country and the people. I, Lei Xiao, should help as much as I have the ability."
"The remaining money should be enough for our Lei Mansion to face some sudden events."
"In the face of big issues of right and wrong, you put your sights above money. When will you become the pillar of my Lei family?"
Grandpa Lei's words were loud and clear, and his expression was very stern.
Long Lin couldn't help but feel his heart tremble when he heard such a stern voice.
Facing the thunder in the sky, his body couldn't help but start to tremble.
"What the father taught me is that the child understands that it is the child's fault. The child is just worried that if something happens to the little money left, we will not be able to deal with it. Now the child understands."
These thunderous words made Long Lin feel embarrassed in his heart.
He can understand his uncle and he is not wrong.
"Grandpa? I..."
Lei Xiao turned his head and looked at Long Lin.
"Grandson, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. Nothing will happen to Lei Mansion. Everything is fine."
"You take this money and go do business. Grandpa doesn't need you to pay it back. You have to concentrate on doing what you want to do."
"The card issue is not important to grandpa. Grandpa is also very happy to be able to select more talents for the court."
"As long as you don't do bad things, as long as you don't do evil, grandpa will do his best to support you."
These words were spoken with a look of love on Lei Xiao's face.
When Long Lin heard it, he felt that his whole heart was about to be completely melted.
He only had 100,000 taels of silver, but he could get him 60,000 taels. This kind of move was deeply remembered in Long Lin's heart, and he was afraid he would never forget it for the rest of his life.
