Chapter 68
Lin Li's eyes widened as she looked at the maid who had come to report secretly, especially when she heard Sanfang's actions, she raised her eyebrows, "Really? β
The maid nodded.
Only then did she wave her hand and signal the maid to go down, and hurriedly turned her head to look at Lin Bai's family, "Mother, do you know that the third aunt actually dares to be the master of Lin Long at this juncture?" β
Lin Bai glanced at his daughter, "Don't get involved in this matter, the big house is ruined, and we are not close, your father and your uncle have discussed this matter, and they are all tacitly agreed, and now your reputation is not very good, and this rich marriage will not fall on your head, and you will watch it from the side." β
Lin Li looked at her mother incredulously, it turned out that the whole family knew about this, but she was the only one who was kept in the dark? "It's so cheap, Lin Lin?" Her hand pointed outward, as if she was not admitting defeat.
"And what else do you want?" Lin Bai said angrily, "The opportunity was also placed in front of you, but you couldn't grasp it, who is to blame?" Their mother and daughter are despicable, but they can't stand the fact that others have taken the lead now, you also have to think about your brother, if there is such a relative, your brother's future career will be much easier, even if you can't climb the height of your grandfather, but it is not difficult to be the same as your short-lived ghost uncle. β
After calculating it, my father and mother are partial, and all my thoughts are for the eldest brother, Lin Li was so angry that her chest fell together, and she didn't look at her mother's face, and turned to leave.
"Madam, does the girl seem to be angry?" The grandmother on the side said worriedly to Lin Bai's family.
"It's up to her to figure it out sooner or later." Lin Baishi pinched the bridge of his nose and said with a headache, thinking that she would be comfortable with such a cheap person?
When Lin Li went back to her yard, she glanced at Lin Lin, who was pretending to be a painter in the yard, and her silver teeth were clenched tightly, and the handkerchief was even rolled into a salted vegetable by her.
Feeling that Lin Qiong, who was grinding ink next to Lin Lin, was about to look over, she snorted coldly and turned around and left.
"What's wrong?" Lin Lin saw Lin Qiong stop and be stunned there, and her face was immediately full of displeasure.
"I think I just saw my sister-in-law." Lin Qiong was a little uncertain, raised her head and smiled at Lin Lin, after the incident of her aunt being beaten last night, she strengthened her determination to tie Lin Lin's face, only in this way can she and her aunt turn over.
"If you see it, you will see it, what are you afraid of her doing?" Lin Mei washed the paintbrush in her hand, anyway, she has no play now, so naturally she can only count on the eldest sister, "With my sister here, she doesn't dare to look for you casually now." β
Lin Qiong thought about it, and hurriedly rubbed the two sisters with doglegs.
My sister's words were quite pleasant, and Lin Lin naturally nodded happily, "If you have something, I will make the decision for you." β
Such a taunt of her words, Lin Li, who didn't go too far, listened to it word for word, and the anger in her chest couldn't be stopped, and she turned her head and glared at her fiercely in disgust.
With a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she raised her hand to beckon her henchmaid, whispered a few words in her ear, and then patted her on the shoulder, "Go ahead." β
The maid nodded knowingly, and soon trotted out of sight.
"I'd like to see if you can have the last laugh." Lin Li sneered coldly, turned around and left disdainfully, what she couldn't get, and she would never give it cheaply to these scheming sisters.
However, as soon as the group of ladies were sent away, Lin Long settled the accounts in the store, and the abacus was "crackling".
Lin Nan was in a good mood and brought her tea, "Girl, let's drink a bowl of tea first." β
"If it's out of the way, I'll do the math." Lin Long didn't even raise her head, she had never felt so cool to count the silver, and she was anxious to know how much she had made today.
Lin Nan smirked on the side, he calculated privately, I was afraid that today would be the most ruthless day since the opening, so he licked his lips and waited for the final number to come out.
Lin Long's last abacus fell to the ground, and looking at the numbers on it, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"How much?" Aunt Green's interest was also aroused, and she hurried over.
"One thousand two hundred taels." Lin Long said excitedly, got up and hugged Aunt Lu in a circle, "Erniang, we are developed, developed......"
She has been worried about money, this is the first time in three years that she feels that life is not so tense, and finally has a little confidence, this more than 1,000 taels of silver is not a joke, she never thought that she would make so much money when she opened this shop.
Aunt Green was dumbfounded, she could earn seventy taels on the opening day, which made her excited and couldn't sleep all night, and now it is a huge amount of more than 1,000 taels, "Sister Long, do you pinch me to see if it hurts?" β
How could Lin Long really pinch Aunt Green, stopped turning in circles and clasped her arms with both hands, "Erniang, this is true, we really have more than a thousand taels of silver......
Aunt Green couldn't help but smirk twice.
Lin Long shook her head, and didn't shake her up again, she also wanted to have such a sweet dream for a while, and finally closed the account book and put the abacus beads aside, "It's all thanks to Mrs. Zheng, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to make so much money." β
Lin Nan, who was so happy that he cried, wiped his tears, "Isn't it?" Fortunately, there is a big backer of the governor's wife, otherwise how could our shop pΓΉ become famous in such a short period of time? β
However, when Lin Long thought of what Zheng Huahan had said, his excited heart suddenly calmed down again, and this kindness was still conditional in the end.
At this time, Lin Qi hurriedly broke into the store, "Sister, are you there?" Something big is wrong. β
Lin Long hurriedly turned out from behind the counter and grabbed his panting sister, "What's wrong?" β
Lin Qi only had time to breathe for a while, unable to speak.
Lin Long saw that there were customers coming in the store, so he was busy greeting Uncle Nan, and helped his sister into the inner courtyard at the back. Aunt Green followed closely behind, uneasy for some reason.
After Lin Qi tried to catch his breath, he said all the words from the maid sent by Lin Li to his own sister.
"How unreasonable!" Aunt Green said angrily, "When they should be elders, they shouldn't be, but now they are holding up the elders' shelves to do this bad thing." β
"That's right, sister, they want to marry you off now so as to reduce the number of places in competition, which is really dampening." Lin Qi's anger was no less than that of Aunt Green, and as soon as she heard such a ridiculous word, she immediately ran to tell her eldest sister.
Lin Long was already too angry and didn't react much, he had long known that they didn't miss family affection, but he didn't expect that he would act like this, clenching his fists, it seems that she was still too easy to talk last time.
"Sister Long, let's go to the door for this matter." Aunt Green couldn't allow others to bully Lin Long like this, she was originally optimistic about the Cao family's marriage, but after a series of incidents, she didn't think about it for a long time.
People go to high places, water flows to low places, Lin Long deserves better people to match, it is a pity to give it to Dr. Cao, not to mention that his mother is really unbearable.
"Erniang is right." Lin Long also nodded in agreement this time, "I don't want to marry the Cao family for 10,000 people." β
If she doesn't make trouble now, there will be no chance to make trouble in the future, she can't sit still, she doesn't have a father according to the law, it is logical for her uncle and aunt to take charge of the marriage, Aunt Green started as a concubine, and she can't decide her marriage, Lin Dong's brother is too young.
When Lin Long and his party rushed to Lin Gang's new house in anger, it was already dark, and as soon as the doorkeeper was opened, Lin Long pushed it open, and this time her goal was clear and went to the third room.
Whoever dared to stand in her way along the way was unceremoniously pushed or kicked away by her.
Lin Yu was talking to Lin Chuang, who would have known that Lin Long's family had broken in like that.
Lin Chuang slapped the table angrily, "It's the other way around, and you won't report when you come in......."
Lin Long sneered, "Notification? If I tell the truth, I'm afraid that I have already been sold by you, and I am counting the money for you? β
"Sister Long, what are you talking nonsense?" Lin Yu's willow eyebrows were raised, "When are we going to sell you?" β
"Just find a marriage for my family, isn't this for sale?" Lin Qiren's low voice is not small, and he has long been angry with these shameless uncles.
Lin Long pulled the little sister back behind him, "Do you dare to admit it?" β
Lin Yushi frowned, this marriage is just a preliminary orientation today, how did she know so quickly? Originally, she planned to finish the etiquette of marriage, so she immediately tricked Lin Long into the new house, immediately tied him up and sent him to the sedan chair, worshiped heaven and earth and entered the cave room, who can regret it?
"This is a happy event, and it's not unsightly, why don't you dare to admit it?" Lin Chuang said angrily, "You actually broke in unruly, and you have lost the face of our Lin family if you spread it out like this." β
"Since it's a happy event, why don't you marry your daughter? She is a year older than our sister Long, and she will marry first. Aunt Green said angrily.
"Presumptuous!" Lin Yu shouted angrily, "Our master speaks, when will it be your turn to come forward as a concubine?" Come on, drag her down to play the twenty big board for a long memory. "A belly of anger can just come out of Aunt Green's body.
Lin Long glared at those who dared to touch Aunt Green, "I'm going to say ugly things ahead, if you dare to touch Aunt Green a single hair, I will let the strong man who guarded the door last time beat you half to death, you weigh it yourself." β
A group of servants have all seen those big men, and when they heard Lin Long mention it at this moment, they were naturally scared to death, and they shrunk their shoulders and didn't dare to step forward.
Lin Yu looked at the servant who didn't dare to step forward, and he was really angry at this moment, "Okay, you two ......"
Lin Long didn't care about them, but walked straight to Lin Yu's and spread his hands towards her: "What about Geng Ti?" There are also gifts from the Cao family, you can hand them over to me. β
"No, I'm an elder, how can I be threatened by you?" Lin Yu refused to admit defeat.
Lin Chuang naturally supported his wife, "If you don't want Gengti, you wait to get out of the cabinet......"
Lin Long naturally didn't talk nonsense with them, smashed the tea cup on their table to the ground, and raised his voice again, "Geng Ti!" β
Although Lin Chuang is a big man, he is useless and a scholar, and when he smashes the tea bowl with no power, he can't help but feel his heart skip a beat, "You, you dare-"
"What am I afraid of?" Lin Long glanced at his sister.
Lin Qi had already wanted to do it, and without Lin Long saying a word, he immediately smashed the furnishings in this room, clapped his palms and smiled provocatively at the third uncle, she grinds jasmine seeds every day, she has strength, let alone a vegetarian, and the third uncle who is afraid of cutting chickens in vain is not her opponent.
"I'll say it again, bring it to Gengti." Lin Long spread his palms again.
Where did Lin Yu's clan go through such a battle, when Lin Qi smashed things, he was already frightened, "You sisters are all uneducated people......
"If you dare to say half a word more, believe it or not, I'll go and call all the heroes from last time." Lin Long waved his fist in front of her, this person just owes a beating.
Lin Long made a big fuss about the three rooms, how could Lin Bai, who had been the housewife of the Lin family in Suzhou for many years, not receive the slightest rumor?
"I'm afraid your third aunt won't do well this time." Lin Bai gloated.
Lin Li and her mother looked in front of the courtyard gate of the third room, she wanted to go in and have a look, but her mother grabbed her and reminded her of the charcoal last time, she suddenly shuddered, what can't this cousin do if she is ruthless?
They didn't wait long, but they saw Lin Long walking out first, followed by Lin Qi and Aunt Lu who were holding the gifts brought by the Cao family, and the last was naturally the domestic servants brought back by Lin Chuang and his wife from the capital.
The two factions were distinct, and those servants obviously did not dare to approach Lin Long and the others.
When Lin Long passed by Lin Bai's mother and daughter, he paused and looked at Lin Li, "Cousin Li, thank you this time." "Without her tip-off, she wouldn't have known so quickly, otherwise it would have been bad if they had even booked their marriage.
"You're welcome." Lin Li subconsciously replied, and as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to bite his tongue.
Lin Bai pinched his daughter, was she really the one who reported to this Lin Long?
"Next time, Cousin Li will come to the store and choose two favorite rouge gouaches." Lin Long said with a smile.
Lin Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and the rouge gouache produced by Lin Long was very easy to use. "Really?"
"Of course." Lin Long smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth, "But it's only a five-percent discount, this is the best price in our store." β
Lin Li had a feeling that she had been tricked, and immediately glared at her.
Lin Long didn't care, just raised his feet and left, passing by the mother and daughter.
"I'll go with a triple discount." Lin Li shouted behind them.
"No problem." Lin Long also replied in a chic manner.
Lin Li found that she didn't hate Lin Long so much, and she could calmly look at her back and laugh.
"Li'er?" Lin Bai saw that Lin Lin and the two sisters had come closer, and immediately called out to their daughter.
Lin Li glanced back at Lin Lin's angry eyes, and snorted lightly in a comfortable mood, "You do the first year of junior high school, I do the fifteenth, and no one takes advantage of anyone." β
"What good do you get out of doing bad things for me?" Lin Lin gritted her silver teeth and asked angrily.
"I'm so happy." Lin Li responded unceremoniously, "One report and one report, heaven and earth." β
"Sister Chang, then Lin Long is just two stinky money now, how can you stand on her side?"
"It's not too late for you to come back to teach me a lesson when you really enter the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion one day."
Lin Li looked at her sister contemptuously, she hasn't really married into it yet, she just thinks she is a vegetable, she's it! This time it was her turn to walk past them on her toes.
Lin Bai's family is more worried than her daughter, and it is obvious that Lin Lin has the advantage now, "Sister Lin, don't worry about her in general, she is just straightforward, and the second aunt will talk about her well." β
"That aunt really needs to be taught well." Lin Lin said lightly, and then turned around and entered her mother's yard gracefully, not knowing what Lin Long would make of inside.
Lin Bai's face was red and blue, this Lin Lin was too arrogant, right? Before she skimmed these eight characters, she dared to show her her face like this? turned his head to look at Lin Qiong looking at her, and scolded angrily: "What do you see?" Be careful I dig up your pair of tricks. β
Lin Qiong immediately fled in a hurry like a frightened rabbit.
Dr. Cao couldn't hide his joy, "Mother, it's really done?" β
"Of course, with her uncle in charge, why can't it be done? This is much better than Aunt Naraush. Cao Zhou smiled.
Father Cao took a hard puff of hookah, "This girl has a wild temperament and is not easy to control, I don't approve of marrying her......"
Doctor Cao looked at his father anxiously, "Miss Lin is very good, when I was deceived, she also came forward to help me get justice......
"Listen, my son is satisfied, what are you talking about?" Cao Zhou roared at his old man.
Father Cao glanced at his wife, whose attitude had changed quite quickly, and shook his head, how could the husband and wife not know that she had fallen in love with someone else's money-making gouache shop, and lowered his head and took another puff of stuffy smoke.
At this time, Lin Long suddenly came in, put the things in his hand on the table of their house, glanced at Cao Zhou's who came forward with a smiling face, and stuffed the Geng post on the cuff into Cao Zhou's hand, "Mrs. Cao, I won't say much, return my Geng post, this marriage will not be counted." β
"Miss Lin, I told your aunt about this, why don't you count?" Cao Zhou shouted.
"I don't admit it, I don't count." Lin Long naturally didn't have a good face, "You hurry up and come back." β
"You're going to be from our family, and if you want to go back to Gengti, there's no way." Of course Cao Zhou's will not give it, Lin Long's shop will lay golden eggs, and it would be stupid for her to return it.
"Miss Lin, mother......" Dr. Cao was a little dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Okay, it's okay if you don't pay it back, I'll change Ming'er to find a lawyer to go to the yamen to sue you for cheating on marriage, in short, I don't agree to this marriage, and no one can force me to get on the sedan chair." Lin Long's face did not change.
Cao Zhou was dumbfounded, "When did I cheat on marriage?" This is what your aunt agreed to......"
"I ask one last time, do you give it or not?" Lin Long's face was very cold.
"Miss Lin, don't be like this, my mother is also really good for us......" Doctor Cao still thinks about Lin Long in the end, as long as he can get her, he doesn't mind playing tricks.
"Okay, if you don't give it, then wait for the lawsuit." Lin Long turned around and left, and there was no room for negotiation at all.
Father Cao has been practicing medicine for many years, and he still has this face, forcing him to marry someone else's girl, he can't do it, so he went to take the Geng post that was pressed under the incense burner of the ancestral tablet, "Take it away." β
"Old man, you're crazy......" Cao Zhou wanted to retrieve.
Lin Long got it in his hands as soon as possible, and did not give Cao Zhou's room to regret it, thanked Cao's father, and immediately turned around and left, not caring about the mess of the Cao family.
Clenching her own Geng post in her hand, Lin Long was unprecedentedly determined, but her heart still couldn't stop sinking, she had made a lot of money, but she still couldn't take her fate into her hands, and this kind of frustration was not good for her.
When he returned to the Lin family's ancestral house under the escort of Lin Nan, the stars had already been lit, and Lin Long's mood was extremely heavy.
Suddenly, seeing the conspicuous white in the night, she couldn't help but be stunned, Ye Xuyao, what is he doing?
