Chapter 5: Old Lady Jiang
Lin Shangyi, the old man of the Lin family, has always been a little restless recently, has a bad appetite, and can't sleep well.
He has always lived a regular life, learned a little internal kung fu in his early years, and insisted on practicing Tai Chi and Baduanjin all year round, although he is more than eighty, his health has always been very good, and his personal doctor said that his heart is healthier than that of ordinary young people.
But for some reason, during this time, I obviously felt that my body was poor, my qi was weak and weak, and I had no strength when I moved a little.
He thought that his limit was approaching, so he planned to take advantage of the fact that he still had a breath to make good arrangements for the afterlife. The most important of these is the marriage of the granddaughter.
"That kid from the Li family has been gone for so many years, and I don't know what happened?"
Every evening, Lin Shangyi is used to going out for a walk, and he can't walk after walking for a long time today.
"Master, let's go back. Lin Chanming, the housekeeper who followed him, said.
There are several housekeepers in the Lin Mansion, and Lin Chanming is the general manager, but he doesn't care about specific affairs, he is only responsible for Lin Shangyi's daily life and diet. With Lin Cicada by his side, Lin Shangyi is relieved, and people up and down the Lin Mansion are also relieved.
"Cicada Ming, you've been following me for more than ten years. β
Lin Chanming was stunned, and he didn't know why Lin Shangyi suddenly said this, "Yes, it's been sixteen years." β
"It's been sixteen years, and you're old. Lin Shangyi said with emotion, "It's not okay for people to be disobedient to old age!"
Remember https://m in a second.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"For so many years, you have worked very hard with me, have you ever thought about starting some industry yourself?"
Lin Chanming shook his head: "The master treats me well, Cicada Ming is willing to follow left and right, and there is no second heart!"
"Haha, you're thinking too much. Lin Shangyi laughed heartily, "I'm so old, I'm going to leave sooner or later, I'm leaving, and you're still following a fart." β
"Old man......"
Lin Shangyi waved his hand to stop Lin Chanming from continuing, "You and I are not outsiders, so I won't say those clichΓ©s." People will eventually die, and there are good taboos. A few years ago, I bought a small island in the East China Sea, and the development should be about the same. I know you don't want to be in the company of the laity, so how about going to the East China Sea to be the owner of Peach Blossom Island?"
Lin Chanming hurriedly said, "Thank you, master." β
"Don't rush to thank me. Lin Shangyi said, "I also want to ask you for a favor." β
"Sir, please speak. β
"Don't worry, sir, this is what I should have done. β
"There is one more thing, there is a ...... named Li Muchen" Lin Shangyi paused, turned around and said, "Let's go, I'll tell you more about this matter when I go back." β
The two walked back, and when they arrived at the gate of the villa area, the security guard saw the old man coming back, saluted, bowed and said, "The old man came back so early today?"
Lin Shangyi has always been easy-going with the people below, and said with a smile: "I'm old, I can't walk." β
The security guard said: "Master Lin treats us as subordinates and poor relatives in the countryside so well, he is a very good person, my mother has told me since I was a child that good people can live a long life." β
Lin Shangyi laughed: "How can there be a long life, no matter how loud your fart beats, it can't change the fate of my old horse." β
Suddenly thinking of something, he turned his head to look at the security guard and asked, "What did you just say about the poor relative?"
The security guard said: "Isn't it common for poor people to come to us to visit relatives, and you have told us that we should be polite to them, have you forgotten? β
Lin Shangyi was very happy and patted the security guard on the shoulder, "You did the right thing, people who are poor can't be short-minded, and people who are rich can't forget their roots." Accumulate a lot of virtue and do good, and live three generations, and your children and grandchildren will also be a rich family. β
The security guard smiled innocently: "Dafu doesn't dare to think about it, Xiaofu can do it, hehe." β
Lin Shangyi was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, he was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked, "You just said little Taoist, what little Taoist?"
The security guard said: "Today, there is a young man, dressed like a Taoist priest, who came to you by name, saying that he is your relative, and it seems that his name is Li Hechen." β
"What do you say his name is?" Lin Shangyi put away his smile and asked sharply.
The security guard didn't know why Lin Shangyi was suddenly unhappy, and was startled, "His name is Li ...... Wood...... Cheng, yes, his name is Li Mucheng, and he was received by Steward Luo. β
"What about people?"
"Gone. β
Lin Shangyi was furious and shouted, "Call Luo Mingsha to me!"
The security guard's heart was pounding, the old man of the Lin family was plain and amiable, but once he launched Weilai, no one was not afraid.
Could it be that this person surnamed Li is a liar?
Alas, it angered the old man, it seems that he is going to be unlucky, and it also affects Steward Luo.
β¦β¦
Lin Qiusheng didn't know what was going on at home, and the old man called him home in a hurry.
Recently, the business situation has been continuous, which has made him anxious, and he really can't take care of his family affairs at all.
Back at the old man's residence, his wife Yan Huimin, son Lin Yun, cousin Lin Laifeng, and nephew Lin Shaoheng had already arrived, except for his daughter Lin Manqing, who went to college in Qiantang, and his little nephew Lin Shaoping, who studied abroad, the main figures of the Lin family came.
Lin Qiusheng felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, no one greeted him after he entered the door, not even his wife, and everyone was silent.
The old man sitting on the sofa seemed calm, but there was a sense of anger on his face, he should have just been angry.
Could it be that the old man has known about the recent setbacks in his business?
"Dad, what's wrong?" Lin Qiusheng asked with some apprehension.
"Then ask your mother-in-law," the old man suddenly became angry, and his voice was like thunder, "you ask her what good things she has done!"
Mrs. Lin shuddered with fright, lowered her head, and began to sob.
Lin Qiusheng didn't understand why his father was so angry, so he had to walk over and ask his wife.
While crying, Mrs. Lin told the events of the day and concealed some details.
"I think, give him two million, it won't be a disadvantage to him, he and our Man Qing have never met, just came to the door like this, Man Qing will definitely not accept it. Besides, how can the daughter of our Lin family marry a poor boy from the mountains, and this will spread ......"
Lin Qiusheng understood, of course he knew that his daughter had a marriage contract since she was a child, but he never took it to heart, thinking it was a joke.
I didn't expect that after so many years, people really came to the door.
"You said you were too, why didn't you tell your dad and make a claim. β
"Isn't Dad in bad health lately, I think, this little thing, don't bother Dad. And the marriage contract was made by my father back then, and my father is a person who wants to save face, and there are some things that we should be our children to share our father's worries. β
Mrs. Lin's words are reasonable, and she can be said to be leaky, and her sobbing appearance attracted the sympathy of those present.
Lin Qiusheng also felt in his heart that his wife had done the right thing, and his father was a little confused.
But he didn't dare to contradict his father, and looked at his cousin Lin Laifeng as if he were asking for help.
Lin Laifeng is the son of his uncle, because the uncle died early, and the old man felt guilty, so it was sometimes easier to speak in front of the old man than Lin Qiusheng.
Lin Laifeng coughed lightly:
"Yes, uncle, what Hui Min said makes sense, not to mention that this is not the right family, just say that the two have never met, how can Manqing accept it? β
Lin Qiusheng glanced at his cousin gratefully, and felt that it should be almost the same with his cousin to help him speak, so he stepped forward and said, "Dad......"
As soon as he spoke, Lin Shangyi suddenly stood up, grabbed the teapot on the table, and smashed it out.
There was a crisp sound, and the purple clay pot fell to pieces.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
This purple clay pot is made by a famous artist, the price is expensive, and it is also the old man's favorite thing, even the purple clay pot has fallen, which shows how angry the old man is.
Now no one dares to speak.
"Poor boy?" Lin Shangyi sneered, "What's wrong with the poor, open the family tree and dig up for three generations, who hasn't been poor?
"I, Lin Shangyi, were also poor back then! When I was in trouble, I couldn't even eat enough, if I want to be like you, can I marry your mother?"
"Master, don't be angry, you can't do it. Lin Chanming, who was standing behind Lin Shangyi, persuaded softly.
"Dad......" Lin Qiusheng didn't understand what the relationship was between whether he could take over the family business and this person named Li Muchen, whether the old man was confused, but he didn't dare to say so, he only asked: "You say, what should we do, so that you can dissipate your anger?"
"Find, go and find, mobilize everyone, don't find people back," Old Man Lin pointed at Lin Qiusheng, "You don't want to be the head of this family anymore, and let your mother-in-law go back to Meicheng." β
This last sentence almost made Yan Huimin collapse to the ground.
