Chapter 166: Meeting
Old Man Lin obviously didn't want to see the two of them, and lowered his head and picked up the vegetables in his hand without saying a word. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Lin Guifu spoke: "Dad, tomorrow my second child and I will go to Yangzhou to pay off your gambling debts for you." ”
"Have you scraped together enough money?" Old Man Lin is most worried about this matter now, and he also hopes to have a result as soon as possible.
Lin Guilu replied: "Well, we borrowed two hundred taels of silver from others. For the time being, there is no need to rush to sell the kiln and land, our brother will work hard for a few more years and earn it back. ”
"That's good, that's good, I heard that the third family ran away?" Old Man Lin asked, if you want to talk about this village, you can't hide anything. Old man Lin has almost never left home these days, except for going to the field to pull vegetables and digging rice by the river. He really didn't have the face to go out, so the people on the side kindly came to tell him that his third family had all run away.
Lin Guifu said: "Yes, there will be no third child in our family in the future, and you are not allowed to recognize him." ”
"Okay, he won't recognize it when he comes back." Old Man Lin knows the current affairs best, and these two sons will be retired in the future, can you not listen?
After the father and son politely said a few words that were not salty or light, the two brothers took their leave and went back.
Early the next morning, Lin Guilu and his son had breakfast with Li Dajiang, brought dry food, took a hired passenger ship to their own brick kiln to pick up Lin Guifu, and went to Yangzhou together.
Besides, Lin Yujuan has been busy buying shops and paddy fields since Yusuo left. During this time, Xue Tingfang heard that Lin Yujuan's grandfather was designed to gamble and lose money, because Jiang Mingde was going to participate in the Autumn Festival, and he didn't reveal the slightest hint to him. I'm afraid that he will be distracted and won't be able to study with peace of mind.
Xue Tingfang called Huang Xiaosi and asked carefully about what happened that night, and Huang Xiaosi said 1510. When he heard it, he also thought that Lin Yongde was being calculated. So I found someone to inquire carefully about the origin of the small underground casino.
The head of the casino, Zhu Boss, is a local in Yangzhou. Originally, he was not a good learner, he was addicted to gambling and did not do his job, and the doorway inside the casino was naturally clear after a long time. In order to make a living, he recruited a few like-minded friends to open such an underground casino together.
These people work together, and some people go to solicit customers for the casino, especially those merchants who come from other places. There are two coins on his body, if he can't withstand their temptation, he won't lose all of them.
Their background is not very complicated, but it is really difficult to say whether this calculation of Lin Yujuan's matter is intentional or unintentional. Xue Tingfang has only been in Yangzhou for two or three years, and he is not the kind that he has been there all year round, in these aspects, he can at most inquire about the news, and he can't take a few of them for the time being.
Lin Yujuan was very grateful when she received this news, and she just kept the names of these people in her heart. She is a single woman, it would be good if others didn't come to trouble her, where would she have the spare energy to settle accounts with them. I just hope that there will be a chance to clarify this matter in the future.
Recent events have made her feel more and more that it is difficult for a person to gain a foothold in society. It's not enough to have money, you have to have a family behind it. This made her more and more determined to let her parents come to Yangzhou.
In late April, in late spring, the weather is also very warm, and the city of Yangzhou is even more lively. The small wooden boat carrying the four members of the Lin family docked at Dongguan Wharf, because the Lin Guilu brothers could not stay for two or three days and had to rush back to Qintong. So the boatman is still here waiting for them for a few days, so that they can do a good business.
It was the first time for the brothers to go far away, and the farthest they used to go was to the county, which was only a few dozen miles away. This time I entered Yangzhou City, and I naturally felt that I only hated my parents for having a pair of eyes, which was not enough to see at all. There are so many people on the street, so bustling, and there are many strange things that I have never heard of or seen. This is the normal reaction of every first-time visitor.
Lin Yusuo saw that the uncle was walking with his father unconsciously, and he was not in a hurry, so he walked slowly to let them have a good time. I think he was like this when he first came here.
Lin Yusuo explained to Lin Guilu and them what they saw as they walked, and how valuable they were. From time to time, they exclaimed, "What? So expensive? Slowly, the two of them became numb, and they were no longer startled.
A group of four people saw the end of the street while walking, and Lin Yusuo, who was far away, saw his own Lin Ji, and pointed at the signboard with his hand.
"Dad, uncle, look, that's the Lin Ji I opened with my sister. What do you think? Looks even better than the one back home, right? ”
Lin Guifu nodded: "Yes, you kid is really promising." ”
Lin Yusuo was affirmed by the elders, and his heart was also beautiful, but he still knew how to be modest: "I didn't help much, it was all my sister's idea." ”
"You can do it, you can do it. Ah, second child, I really envy you. Lin Guifu's face was full of envy.
"What are you envious, if it weren't for the two of them in Yangzhou, the old man would have been able to come here to make trouble?" Lin Guilu gambled.
"Second child, you're wrong, what's the matter with the children? The old man has been in trouble for so many years, when has he ever endured something? Did he do less of those things that were out of tune? There are more people coming to Yangzhou, so I don't believe that anyone will run to gamble. If you don't learn well, what will you do to others? What the uncle said was really fair, and Lin Yusuo listened to it very much.
"Sister, I'll come back to pull, and my dad and uncle will also come over to pull." Lin Yusuo shouted as soon as he entered the courtyard.
Lin Yujuan estimated that during this time, they should also come here. Someone is definitely going to come to the house, and more than 300 taels of silver, you have to come and find out.
Lin Yujuan came to the courtyard to greet her father and uncle.
"Dad, Uncle is tired along the way, right?"
"Where can I be tired, it's just that I'm too bored to lie in the cabin all day, and I'm so idle." Lin Guilu said, looking at his daughter carefully. His complexion was good, much better than at home, and his heart was completely relaxed.
"Sister, you don't know how much happened to you when you go back to the house this time. Listen to what I tell you・・・・・・" Lin Yusuo couldn't wait to tell Lin Yujuan about the experience of returning to his hometown.
Lin Yujuan listened while beckoning the two elders to come into the house to rest, drink water, and asked Sister-in-law Li to hurry up and make them something to eat.
After Lin Yusuo finished speaking, he found that Lin Yujuan was not as surprised as he expected.
"Sister, why aren't you angry?"
"Hehe, the third uncle's family has made a few troubles in the past for such a little silver. It's strange that his family doesn't make a difference when there is such a big thing in the stall this time. ”
