Chapter 57: The Lin Family
A military villa in Kyoto
"Grandpa, why did you transfer me back? Why didn't you even consult with me? "A girl cried so much that she was like Lin Yi who had appeared in Baxing Village.
Sitting on the chair is a very elegant old man, it is the pillar of the Lin family - Lin Wenzhe, Lin Wenzhe is not like the old man Zhong Qingshan is famous for being brave and not afraid of death, he is doing political and religious work in the army, he and the old man Zhong have been partners since 1944, cooperate with each other, and are nicknamed "black and white" by the enemy, because Zhong Qingshan's skin is as black as black charcoal, and Lin Wenzhe is a polite white-faced scholar.
"If I don't transfer you back, will I let you be embarrassed in S City?" Old Man Lin looked at Lin Yi who was crying in disappointment.
Mr. Lin has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Lin Siyun, who is also Lin Yi's father, was born to Mr. Lin's first wife, Meng Wanyun, who was his college classmate, and the two had similar aspirations and defected to the revolution together. However, Wanyun escaped the pursuit of the enemy army in 47 years and gave birth to their eldest son and died of blood, and the name of the eldest son, Siyun, is also taken from the meaning of missing Wanyun. The eldest daughter Lin Siya and the youngest son Lin Sijiang were born to his later wife Shangguan Qing, Shangguan Qing was also his college classmate, at the beginning, he, Meng Wanyun, and Shangguan Qing embarked on the road of revolution together, after Wanyun's sacrifice, Shangguan Qing loved Lin Siyun very much, and he fell in love with Shangguan Qing for a long time.
After marriage, Shangguan Qing gave birth to a daughter and a son, although Shangguan Qing is not as beautiful as Wanyun, but he is gentle and careless, and takes care of his life properly, and Wanyun has a superior family background since childhood, and is beautiful and talented, so he disdains the trivial things in life, and he takes care of Wanyun most of the time after marriage. Now that I think about it, even if Wanyun hadn't died so early, maybe the two of them wouldn't have made it to the end.
But it was Wanyun who left early, and what remained in his heart was always her pouting as if she was happy and resentful, and the scene when the two were in love with each other appeared in his heart from time to time, so he has always taken good care of his eldest son's family, and because his granddaughter Lin Yi's eyebrows are a bit like her grandmother, he has always looked at this granddaughter differently, who knows that Lin Yi is extremely disappointed in him.
"What did I lose? I just like Han Jian, I just want to marry him! "Lin Yi simply let it go?
"But Han Jian, he doesn't like you, you have also seen the woman he likes, except for the family background worse than you, which other thing is worse than you?" Old Man Lin lightly stated the facts.
Han Jian, the young man, he saw once in Lao Zhong's house last year, on the surface, although he was polite, introverted and shy, he knew that this was just the appearance, in fact, this young prince was arrogant and cold in his heart, and he was disdainful of others, but if Han Jian really fell in love with a woman, then this woman who was in love was the happiest person in the world.
That's why he supported Lin Yi to get close to Han Jian before, if he succeeded, then his granddaughter would be happy for a lifetime. Another reason is also his selfishness, Lao Zhong's family is prosperous, his children are very promising, and his status is also rising, but his Lin family is declining, and the only one who has a future is Lin Yi's father Lin Siyun, but he has only mixed to the level of vice governor, Siyun is already in his 60s, and his political career is almost over. The daughter is quite self-motivated, but her ability is limited, and now she is the director of the Ministry of Health, and he sees that in the future, she will get at most a deputy director to do it, and the youngest son looks the most like him, but it is also the last thing he wants to mention, Lin Sijiang is not interested in politics and business, he just wants to be an art worker, and now he is an art professor at Q University, and he is very famous in country Z, but what is the use of this?
Like the children of the Zhong family, the military commander, the provincial governor, the princess's princess, even the Zhong family's most disobedient youngest son, Zhong Haoran, is now the president of a multinational company. And the younger generation is not to mention, all of them are extraordinary, and I don't know what kind of shit luck Lao Zhong has taken, and the children and grandchildren born are all dragons and phoenixes among people, unlike him, Lin Wenzhe, but one generation is not as good as the generation.
Lin Siyun and Lin Siya are both daughters, needless to say, the only one who can do it is the youngest grandson Lin Zheng, Lin Zheng is 21 years old this year, is Lin Sijiang's son, unlike his father, who is indifferent to politics, Lin Zheng has shown a keen intuition about politics since he was a child, which made the old man Lin ecstatic, and took the little grandson to his side to educate him personally, so as not to be taught by his parents to be like them and become a nerd.
In recent years, he has felt that his body is not as good as before, and the folk often say that once he is eighty years old, his life is not in his hands, and he has to leave a way back for the Lin family, lest he close his eyes, and the Lin family will be drowned in the rolling waves of Kyoto. But Lin Zheng is still too young to support the Lin family, he can only look for foreign aid, originally Lao Zhong's grandson is the best candidate, but three of Lao Zhong's five grandsons are married, and the younger two are too young, so they have to find the most suitable Han Jian, but unfortunately Han Jian can't look down on Lin Yi, originally he still wanted to use the old friendship between the two families to see if he could let Lao Zhong put pressure on Han Jian, but Lao Zhong said that Han Jian's marriage can only be done with his own consent, even his father and mother have no right to interfere. It seems that he has to find another candidate, Lin Wenzhe silently deleted the school-age man in Kyoto in his heart.
At this time, Lin Yi didn't know that she had already been used by her grandfather as a tool to revitalize the family, she thought that she was still her grandfather's favorite granddaughter, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, will you let me go back to S City?" I will make Han Jian fall in love with me, that woman is not only divorced, but also brought a drag oil bottle, Grandpa Zhong and Han Jian's parents will not agree. ”
"What about divorce? What about taking your son? Can't stand Han Jian liking her, Xiaoyi, you have to recognize one thing, as long as a man likes you, no matter how black you are, you are white in his eyes, but if he doesn't like you, no matter how white you are, you are black in his eyes. Lin Wenzhe sneered in his heart, he is a man himself, do you still know about men? And he has seen Molly's photo, it is indeed very beautiful and very smart, it does not look like a 29-year-old young woman at all, it is the type that men like the most. Besides, as long as the man likes it and doesn't divorce, what does it matter if he has a son or not? Didn't the Duke of Windsor in England abandon the country for a married woman who is not beautiful, not to mention that Molly is a big beauty!
Seeing that Lin Yi seemed to be unconvinced and wanted to refute, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with her anymore, and directly scolded her to go back to the room, he really didn't want to care about people with unenlightened brains, he used to look at this granddaughter and was a little smart, but now it seems that she is completely like her mother, love is supreme, hum, can love be eaten? Can love guarantee that the Lin family will always prosper?
Lin Siyun's eldest daughter-in-law, Liao Liyan, has always been dissatisfied, and after getting married, she refused to have children for the sake of her career, and she didn't give birth to a daughter until Siyun was almost forty. Although the Liao family is the number one scholarly family in country Z, this is of no great use to the Lin family at all.
What he needs is an influential family in the political and military circles, and if it doesn't work, it can be in the business world, what is the use of you in the cultural world? That is, it sounds good, and it is of no practical use at all, but he can't bear that the eldest son must marry himself, and he can't help it.
To say that he used to look down on the old and rough old Zhong, but now he really admires it, he can give birth to and fight, several children listen to him, get married and have children early, and now they are almost five generations in the same house, which is like his Lin family withering. And the wives married by the juniors are also candidates with extraordinary family backgrounds, even if the daughter marries so far, she marries well, although the country is small, it can't stand people, the country is rich, and the status is naturally high. The Zhong family and those in-laws are like big trees, intertwined, holding the Zhong family firmly.
Alas! Old Man Lin sighed heavily, he Lin Wenzhe asked himself that he never loses to anyone, but at the old bell, he was compared to him again and again, seeing that everyone was about to meet Marx, how could he let him win once!
