(Please collect) In the evening, in a small courtyard at the east end of the second entrance of the Lin family mansion, Huang Changqing was lying on the mat with his upper body naked and groaning. There was a layer of black and yellow medicine on his back, which looked like a lump.
The shit was so disgusting to look at. A woman was sitting on a chair next to her, wiping her tears.
"Hey, why are you so cruel? You are also the chief steward of the Lin family after all... Three generations of your family have been working in the Lin family... Just because of the bastard in the third room, the head of the family had someone beat you like this. This is too disrespectful.
Are you showing affection? Hey... After all, the Lin family is still the Lin family. Even if he is a commoner, he is more noble than us outsiders. You have worked hard for the Lin family, but they don't take you seriously..."
The woman was talking nonchalantly, and Huang Changqing, who was already in an extremely bad mood, finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and cursed angrily: "You bastard, can't you just leave me alone for a while? You woman, you've been here since the doctor left.
Do you want to annoy me to death by nagging me now? Get out of here."
The woman patted her thigh and said, "Did I make a mistake? Do they take you seriously? I'll beat you if you want, how merciless are you?"
Huang Changqing was so angry that he reached out and grabbed the bamboo pillow on the bamboo mat and threw it away. Because of the pain in his back, he tilted it when he threw it. The bamboo pillow was too far off and flew out of the door a few feet away from the old woman's body.
"Ouch." A loud shout came from outside the door. Huang Changqing was stunned and looked towards the door, only to see a figure rubbing his arms appearing at the door.
"Uncle Changqing, who are you angry with? Are you so angry? I'm so angry that I was hit. Hahaha." The figure chuckled.
"Oh, it's Mr. Lin Quan. This is so rude. You woman, why are you standing still? Why don't you come and put on my clothes and help me up? The eldest son from the third room is here."
The woman agreed repeatedly, hurriedly came forward and covered Huang Changqing's back with a thin shirt, and helped him sit up with a grin on his face.
The visitor was none other than Lin Quan. He was holding several packages of gifts in his hand. He quickly came to the bamboo bed and said repeatedly: "Don't get up, don't open the wound."
The old woman saluted Lin Quan at the side, and Lin Quan returned the salute. The old woman couldn't help but said: "Master Lin Quan, the head of the family is too cruel. My old man has been loyal and dedicated to the Lin family for so many years. How can he do something small?
How can he be beaten like this? Can his old bones withstand it? Please tell me in front of the head of the house, just say..."
Huang Changqing frowned and interrupted: "Ganggun, why can't you stop talking like this? Why don't you go make tea? Stop getting involved in this matter? Why do women talk so much?"
The old woman snorted and turned to make tea.
Huang Changqing turned to Lin Quan, cupped his hands and said: "I'm really sorry, this woman in my family has a really bad mouth. Don't pay attention to her. Please sit down, please sit down."
Lin Quan chuckled, sat down on the bamboo chair, and said with a smile: "Uncle Changqing, there is nothing to be sorry for. Auntie is right. I asked the housekeeper to be wronged today. I feel very uneasy in my heart.
I originally wanted to visit in the afternoon, but I was afraid that there would be too many people talking, and I was afraid that it would delay your healing, so I didn't come until now. Butler Huang won't blame me."
Manager Huang hurriedly said: "What did you say? It is my honor, Huang Changqing, for the young master to come and visit me."
Lin Quan sighed and said: "In fact, the head of the family cannot be blamed for this matter. After all, in such an occasion and under such circumstances, the head of the family has to act in accordance with the family law."
"How could I blame the head of the family? Three generations of my Huang family have worked in the Lin family. The motto of the Lin family is my family motto of the Huang family. Protecting the Lin family is the only mission of my Huang family. How could I blame the head of the family? The head of the family has been as kind to me as a mountain, and he is so slow.
So what if you kill a few vitex sticks?" Huang Changqing said generously.
Lin Quan pointed his finger and praised: "Well said, Lin Quan admires you very much. We have long regarded your Huang family as our own family. If you are to blame for what happened today, it is the boy from my third room. I really didn't expect it."
He came here today and made such a fuss that Uncle Changqing couldn't get off the stage. I didn't expect that even Xu Zimao couldn't defeat him. Is this kid crazy?"
Huang Changqing waved his hand and said: "I admit defeat. Since I fell into his hands, it can be considered that he is very clever. He is asking for the beating."
"You can't say that. Uncle Changqing is so magnanimous. Doesn't it mean that he is allowing him to do evil? Our Lin family has rules. Uncle Changqing is the chief steward. The head of the family, the three elder brothers of Dafang, and I, Lin, are all very fond of Uncle Changqing.
Respectfully, what he did is a crime. I have discussed this matter with several brothers, and we must not allow him to be so arrogant. Therefore, his arrogance must be curbed."
Huang Changqing raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Quandao: "Do the eldest sons of the eldest family also think so?"
Lin Quan smacked his lips and said: "Of course, we are on your side, how can we allow this kid to be so arrogant and domineering? He is a commoner, but he still wants to change the world in my Lin family? I am the head of the third room, this matter
I also have a responsibility. I usually don't teach well. I failed to teach my father well after his death. What you don't know is that after today's court training, he even dared to insult my mother and my wife, which really made me angry. It must be
He must be punished severely."
Huang Changqing's eyes widened and he whispered: "How dare he do this? Even insulting the old lady and the young lady of the third room?"
Lin Quan smacked his lips and said, "How can I still tell lies? But you don't have to tell anyone about this, and don't report it to the head of the family. After all...after all, I don't want to make the city a storm because of this matter."
Huang Changqing is such a smart person, and he immediately understood that there was something hidden in it. Lin Jue was a concubine of a third wife, and no matter how brave he was, he didn't dare to insult his aunt and sister-in-law. It must have been Lin Quan's mother and wife who caused the trouble first, so he didn't
It may not be reasonable to report it to the head of the family after asking for benefits, so he asked himself not to tell anyone. During today's court training, Lin Jue also revealed that Lin Quan had deducted his monthly salary. Nine times out of ten, it was because
This incident arose.
"It's better that you take care of the reputation of the Lin family. It's really not good to make a fuss. The Lin family is really unfortunate to have such a bastard who has no regard for superiority and inferiority. What makes it even more unworthy for me to stand for the young master is that in the future, the family property of the third family will have to be divided.
Giving him half is simply too cheap for him. What qualifications does he have to share your property?"
Huang Changqing seemed to sympathize with Lin Quan, but in fact he only added fuel to the fire. He knew that this was Lin Quan's heart problem, and he had said it secretly many times, so of course he had to put a needle in Lin Quan's heart at this time.
As expected, Lin Quan's face turned ugly and he gritted his teeth. This was indeed the most unhappy thing for him. Originally, he only got the property of the third house, but now according to the law, he has to give half of it to Lin Jue. This is really shocking.
Annoying. And in two years, when Lin Jue turns 20 and reaches adulthood, he will have to do this. Originally, the property of three-bedroom apartments is not as large as that of two-bedroom apartments and large-bedroom apartments, but it still has to be divided into two. It is really
Extremely angry.
"Don't even think about it. I won't teach him to succeed. Uncle Changqing, Lin Jue's matter must be resolved. How can he be allowed to be so arrogant without being punished? Uncle Changqing, you have many ideas, what do you think we should do about this matter? I
You and the other young masters in the Changfang all support you and cannot allow Lin Jue to be free. Otherwise, he will sit on our heads and shit on us in the future?" Lin Quan didn't hide it anymore. He came here just to discuss with Huang Changqing.
To deal with Lin Jue.
Huang Changqing pondered, twirling his beard and saying nothing. When Lin Quan opened his mouth, he knew his intention. He came to him to use the incident of his being beaten as an excuse. It seemed that he was apologizing for the beating, but in fact
He was taking this opportunity to help him make Lin Jue look bad so that he could deprive Lin Jue of his right to inherit the family property.
For Huang Changqing, this matter is also beneficial to him. It is not all because of today's incident that he must find his place. But as the steward of the Lin family, he must hold tightly to the thighs of the most legitimate young masters. He cannot offend these young masters.
, otherwise you won’t be able to stand on your own.
"Speak, Uncle Changqing, you don't want to just let it go, right?" Lin Quan frowned.
"Young Master, don't be anxious. As for me personally, I naturally cannot complain or complain about today's incident, or even do something inappropriate for my status. However... if this matter is related to Young Master, and Lin Jue has done something
How can I sit back and watch this act of disrespecting my elders? But this matter should not be rushed. To pass the test of the head of the family, what is needed is conclusive evidence. If Lin Jue does something that is not in line with the family rules and has evidence in hand, he will be able to do it when the time comes.
It's justifiable. It's best if he does something that the head of the family doesn't tolerate, then he can be expelled from the Lin family in accordance with the family rules, and then everything will be over." Huang Changqing said in a low voice.
Lin Quan nodded repeatedly and said: "Uncle Changqing is right. If you do it, you will be done with it. Just expel him from the Lin family. Uncle Changqing seems to have a clever plan?"
Huang Changqing smiled and said: "What clever plan can I have? Well... all I can do is send more people to keep an eye on him and record his words and deeds when he comes out of the cabinet. This is also the power given to me by the head of the family. I do this
No one will say anything."
Lin Quan nodded and said: "Yes, I will keep a close eye on him. I don't believe he won't make mistakes."
Huang Changqing whispered: "Everyone makes mistakes. As long as you want to find fault, it is very simple. But if you want to expel him from the Lin family, it must be a big mistake. I can't say that I will definitely be able to catch him.
Lin Jue has always been cowardly and cautious, and he doesn’t show off outside. I’m afraid it will be really difficult to get a big handle on him.”
Lin Quan frowned and said nothing. Although the family rules were strict, the conditions for expulsion from the family were extremely harsh. Those clauses in the family rules that were enough to be expelled from the family should not be touched by Lin Jue at all. What about making friends with evil clan members and committing adultery?
.Things like committing crimes, killing people, setting fires, etc. do not seem to be something Lin Jue would do. This is quite difficult.
"In fact, it is not necessary to make a big mistake. If you continue to catch Lin Jue and criticize him day and night in court, you will accumulate resentment. Even if you do not expel him from the clan, you will deprive him of the right to inherit the family business.
It's possible. It all depends on how you do it." Huang Changqing said in a low voice.
Lin Quanxi said: "It is said that if a little adds up to a big thing, the head of the family will be angry. Let's do it like this. Jiang is still hot, but Uncle Changqing is still powerful. I'd like to thank Uncle Changqing for taking the trouble to keep an eye on this kid. If we have anything to do, we can
Catch him, unless he sleeps in the house every day, we will never teach him to live in peace."
"If something happens, we'll catch it. If nothing happens, we'll just forget about it?" Huang Changqing said softly.
Lin Quan stared at Huang Changqing, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. He slapped Huang Changqing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hahaha, even if nothing happens, something will happen. Everything is man-made. It's really amazing."
Huang Changqing was shaken by the slap, and the wound on his back was painful, and he groaned loudly. Lin Quan apologized hurriedly, handed over a few brown paper bags around him and said with a smile: "A small gift is not a sign of respect. A few bags of good medicine.
, plus a little bit of medical expenses for the treatment of injuries. After the work is completed, I will also thank you deeply. Uncle Changqing recovers well and I'm leaving."
Just as Lin Quan's figure disappeared outside the courtyard gate, Huang Changqing's wife came in holding tea.
"Huh? Where is the third-bedroom eldest son? Is he leaving now?"
Huang Changqing frowned and said, "It takes a long time to make tea. If you have to wait to drink tea, wouldn't you be dying of thirst?"
The old woman said angrily: "He's boiling water and making tea. How could it be so fast? Who knew he would leave after sitting down for a while? Hey, what is this? What kind of gift did you bring?"
The woman put down the tea and picked up the paper bag on the bed, which was heavy in her hands. She was very happy. She stretched out her hand and tore open the paper bag on top, revealing two yellow and orange gold ingots.
"Hey, gold ingots. There are as many as ten taels. Hehehe, that's great, Amitabha, such a wealthy Master Lin Quan."
Huang Changqing frowned at the overjoyed woman and scolded: "If you don't put it away, why are you showing off?"
The woman happily put the ingot into her sleeve, came forward and helped Huang Changqing lie down again, and asked: "Why did he give such a heavy gift?"
Huang Changqing sneered and said: "What is this? The thing I want to do for him is to get him tens of thousands of taels of silver in return. Why won't he spend his money to get it? Ouch, ouch, you old man is going to die of pain.
