Before Lin Yu could recover from Mrs. Yin's incident, Qingqing interrupted her seriously.

"We have to prepare for it in advance, in fact, the old lady hinted at this when she came to me the day before yesterday." Qingqing said with a serious face.

"I think tomorrow at the latest, the old lady will give everyone paperwork. According to the past practice, it will probably only be left for a few days for us to pack our things, and it will not be too long. First of all, the first one is to find a house to live in, we can't compare with Mrs. Yin, Mrs. Yin's family has many servants, although there is no one in her mother's house, but the family property is all hers, and she has a rich net worth, and there are several Zhuangzi in the courtyard alone. ”

Lin Yu also sighed when she heard her seriousness. She has inquired about the current prices, the two women must have their own courtyard for safety, renting a four-room house with a yard will cost at least ten taels of silver a year, and it will cost seventy or eighty taels to buy it, but no matter how frugal a person is outside a year, it will cost ten taels of silver. Although Lin Yu has nearly two hundred taels on hand and some jewelry, he can't sit back and eat empty.

I don't know how much severance pay the Hou Mansion can give, Lin Yu sighed, even if it is less, there is no way to fight a divorce lawsuit in ancient times, besides, even if a divorce lawsuit is fought, it will not be Lin Yu's turn to be a nominal concubine, it should be a matter of Mrs. Yin and the Hou Mansion.

Qingqing has also counted her net worth, which is more than the cash in Lin Yu's hand, with two hundred and ten taels, and less jewelry. But her jewelry is all low-grade, mostly gold and silver, easy to sell, and there are four or five hundred taels in total, it seems that a favored girl is more wealthy than those concubines.

Because he didn't have much hope for the severance pay given by the Hou Mansion, Lin Yu was really pleasantly surprised the next day, not only because of the generous divorce alimony, but because he found that Lin Ruoyu actually had an inheritance.

In fact, Mrs. Lin's feelings for Lin Yu, her niece, are still very complicated. Her mother's family is a small family, her grandfather only gave birth to two brothers, and the heirs of the two brothers are scarce. Before she got married, her widowed mother took her to live, and her uncle took care of her on weekdays, and the two families were not separated, and there were only two sisters and brothers of the same age in the family, so they were naturally very close to their cousins, and ordinary sisters and brothers may not be close to them.

It's just that not long after she got married, her widowed mother and uncle also died one after another, and the family completely declined, she married into the capital as the step-room of the young master of the Hou Mansion, and her cousin became a petty official in the south. When they met again, the old Hou Ye died, and she became the wife of the Hou Mansion, but the cousin had to resign because he was seriously injured in the case ten years ago. Although she hired many famous doctors for treatment, it didn't take long, leaving only an eight-year-old daughter. She didn't have a biological daughter herself, and she completely raised her niece as a daughter.

She originally planned very well, her niece Ruoyu admired her son Yuanzhi since she was a child, and Yuanzhi herself also had a good impression of Ruoyu, and Mrs. Yin has never given birth. Compared with several other low-status concubines, as long as the niece can give birth to a son, she is the most legitimate heir. What's more, when my cousin was injured in the case of the Yin family and rescued Lord Yin (although Lord Yin didn't last a few days), Mrs. Yin still owed Ruoyu a favor. As long as Ruoyu doesn't act too much, even if she is a hundred years later, even if Mrs. Yin has her own son, she will not suppress Ruoyu very much.

However, people are not as good as heaven, her son is actually obsessed with the fox spirit of the Zhang family, although she is angry, Mrs. Lin still loves her son more after all, and more importantly, there is a deep reason why she can't stop it. It's better to be dragged by the concubine and the third prince than to be interfered with by the concubine and the third prince above. She knows Yin's temperament very well, and she and her son have always been in harmony, so she may not agree with the separation.

didn't expect Ruoyu to be spoiled by himself, and he actually committed suicide. If there is really something, how will she go underground to see her uncle and brother in the future, but now she is a little crazy and stupid, and she doesn't even recognize people. She really wanted to keep this niece by her side for two years, but two days ago, her sister-in-law, the concubine in the palace, sent her grandmother to bring a message, asking her to meet the conditions of the little fox spirit of the Zhang family first, so as not to have more twists and turns. At present, Lin Yu can only be arranged to leave the Hou Mansion first. But it didn't stop her from stuffing more silver into her niece.

It was precisely because of the intervention of the concubines in the palace that the resignation meeting of the Hou Mansion was held in advance, and the current chairman, Mrs. Lin, interviewed the general manager, Mrs. Yin, and found Lin Yu for a private conversation.

How much alimony the Hou Mansion gave to Mrs. Yin, Lin Yu didn't know what to do. But every concubine was given a thousand taels on the surface, and Lin Yu was no exception, and personal items such as jewelry and clothes could also be taken away, which can be said to be the first rich in the capital. According to the gossip inquired by Qingqing, the prince of Xue Wangfu died a few years ago, and the princess dismissed several concubines, as if she had given three hundred taels to five hundred taels, which was not less.

In addition to the severance pay of 1,000 taels on the surface, Mrs. Lin actually gave Lin Yu 5,000 taels of silver in private, which shocked Lin Yu and didn't dare to accept it at first.

"Auntie, no, it's too much money." Although it is good to have more silver, Lin Yu is also afraid that Old Madam Lin has other plans.

"If you are told to take it, you will take it." Old Madam Lin said with some disgust. "Auntie, tell you the truth, this money is not from the Hou Mansion, the little vixen of the Zhang family wants to enter the door, and he must pay some price. I also bought you a small village of about ten acres, right next to the Zhuangzi that your father left for you. ”

Lin Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and suddenly remembered a joke he had read before, someone in a foreign newspaper advertised that a brand-new Ferrari sports car was sold for more than one dollar. Most people don't believe this to be true. Even if a young man thinks it's fake, he has nothing to lose, so he contacts the owner. It turned out to be a real dollar to buy the sports car. The car seller was a rich wife, her husband eloped with someone, and the letter said - divorce nothing, just send him the money from the sale of the sports car.

At present, Mrs. Lin's actions are similar to that lady's, they are all generous to others, Lin Yu heard it, and he no longer shirked, who would dislike having more money.

Mrs. Lin not only gave Lin Yu a lot of money, but also promised to wait for two years, the matter was almost forgotten, and then find her a good in-law's house, Lin Yu was noncommittal about this, but she did not explicitly refuse the old lady.

Old Madam Lin saw that Lin Yu didn't seem to be very interested in marrying, so she just sighed and continued to advise.

"Qingqing, this girl has a good temperament, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, don't rush to give her the deed of sale, and don't let her know how much money you have. After moving to a new residence, buy a few more girls and daughters-in-law as soon as possible, and pick up those honest ones, hey, you're afraid you're not very good at picking people right now. It's okay, you put your things here first, and when you find the house and send someone to send me a letter, I'll send someone to clean up and arrange it for you first. I have prepared a few hollow silver-plated copper bracelets and hairpins for you, but you can put the silver ticket title deed in it first, and the money and land deed should not be put in one place, it must be separated. ”

This is all useful experience, although Qingqing is really good, and her bearing is quite extraordinary, but this money is indeed a lot, in case she has a bad heart, with Lin Yu's little heart and understanding of feudal society, she will definitely be unlucky.

Mrs. Lin told her for a long time before she asked someone to hand a small box to Lin Yu and let her check it. Lin Yu opened the box and found that it was two-tiered, the upper floor was a thick pile of silver tickets inside, both large and small, and the lower floor was the title deed.

Lin Yu counted it and found that it was a lot more than he thought, it stands to reason that it should be 6,500 taels of silver tickets, a small village. Why is there more than 20,000 taels of silver tickets in the box, two land deeds, and two shop title deeds?
