Chapter Twenty-Three: Uncle
The small kitchen of Moyuan Pavilion was repaired in only three days, and the uncle also arrived in the capital.
As early as when their sister and brother opened their hearts and made a plan, Lin Jingyuan sent a letter to his grandmother in Yangzhou, hoping that his uncle would come to the capital in the near future, and asked his grandmother for manpower.
Uncle Shen Huaishan was dusty, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, he went straight to the Ding'an Hou Mansion.
Lin Yanyan's sister and brother went out to greet them, and saw that the uncle was still followed by a group of people, including Li's mother, and the sister and brother were overjoyed.
Mother Li was originally her mother's companion, and she served her mother since she was a child. After her mother died, Yao's family sent Li's mother out in the name of Rongyang, but she didn't expect her grandmother to send Li's mother over again this time.
"Yan Yan, Jing Yuan, is something wrong with you? The letter is not clear, but your grandmother has not slept peacefully since receiving the letter, so let me bring someone over quickly. Shen Huaishan said with concern.
"Uncle, it's inconvenient to talk here, let's go into the house and say, Mother Li, you can come too."
The four of them sat down, and Yan Yan told him what had happened in the past few days.
"I was just afraid that the divorce would not go so smoothly, so I wanted my uncle to support me, but I didn't expect it to be solved smoothly."
Shen Huaishan angrily slapped the case: "Shameless, shameless, too shameless, I'm going to go to the old lady to ask for an explanation, bullying my niece and niece without the support of my family, right?" β
"Uncle, don't worry, my grandmother knows that you are here, and she will definitely come to invite you later, and it will not be too late for you to knock and knock again." Lin Yanyan persuaded.
Beating is necessary, otherwise, some people in the Hou Mansion really think that their sisters and brothers can be bullied without a father or mother.
Shen Huaishan sat down and said indignantly: "I want them to look good later." β
Lin Yanyan's sister and brother looked at each other, and it felt good to have someone to support them.
"Yan Yan, how did you cure your illness?" Only then did Shen Huaishan remember to ask Yan Yan. He has to come to the capital several times a year, and every time he comes, he has to visit his two nieces and nephews, and the bad thing is that Yan Yan is getting fatter and fatter every time, and they have also invited doctors to come and see, but they don't see it well.
Lin Yanyan: "I'm glad I met a miracle doctor who cured my illness with earthworks." β
Don't look at the uncle who usually smiles and talks very well, but when his temper comes up, no one is afraid of him.
If you tell the uncle that she was poisoned by the Yao family, the uncle will be able to beat the Yao family violently at this time.
So she and Jing Yuan were going to hide it from their uncle first.
Shen Huaishan sighed: "I said that your father has served the country and the people all his life, and your mother is also a kind-hearted person, God shouldn't let you suffer so many crimes, it can be seen that God still has eyes." β
"What my uncle said is that in the future, my sister and I will have a better life, and now my grandmother has promised that we will take care of the affairs of Moyuan Pavilion by ourselves, which can be regarded as self-reliance."
"It's good to stand on your own, and you don't have to deal with those shameless people in the future." Only then did Shen Huaishan understand why Jing Yuan asked for manpower in the letter, which shows that Yan Yan and Jing Yuan have no one to trust and use in the Hou Mansion.
The second lady of the Hou Mansion took advantage of Yan Yan's illness and filial piety, so she dared to seduce Yan Yan's fiancΓ©, and if you want to say that the old lady and the second room Yao don't know, he will never believe it, not to mention that they instructed, but also their acquiescence and connivance.
Such a person, who doesn't want courtesy, righteousness and shame, how can he be trusted?
This Ding'an Hou Mansion is an upright person for his brother-in-law.
"This time, I only brought Mother Li, four maids, four family members, and four nursing homes, and I will send more people over when I go back."
"Uncle, it's enough, Moyuan Pavilion is just me and Jing Yuan, and we don't need so many people to serve you."
"You have to listen to your uncle about this. By the way, you set up your own door, so where do your daily expenses come from? Does the old lady give? β
Lin Yanyan said: "Grandmother returned to us the thirty percent dowry left by my mother, which should be enough for our daily expenses." β
Lin Jingyuan immediately took out the house deed and showed it to his uncle.
Shen Huaishan looked angry again: "This is also called Sancheng?" What about deceiving children? β
"Uncle, it's not thirty percent, how much is that?" Lin Jingyuan asked.
"One percent is insufficient, your mother's dowry was prepared by me, a total of twenty-eight shops, six Zhuangzi, and silk and satin cloth, and eighteen boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry."
Mother Li said proudly: "When Miss got married, ten miles of red makeup, the whole capital was a sensation. β
The sister and brother gasped, obediently, the grandfather's family was simply rich.
Lin Yanyan went to hold the jewelry box left by his mother and said, "Mother only left this box of jewelry." β
She still remembers what Yao said when he handed her the box jewelry...... This is the jewelry left by your mother, it's all here, you can keep it!
When she saw that her mother was dressed plainly, she believed it, and said that her mother's jewelry was not much.
Mother Li sneered: "A box? The rest of them were swallowed by the second lady! β
Shen Huaishan couldn't sit still, and went to the Hall of Mercy and Grace without waiting for the old lady to invite him, but Lin Yanyan couldn't stop him, so he had to let Jing Yuan follow.
Mother Li said: "I'll go too, Madame's jewelry slave has to go and come back." β
Lin Yanyan nodded, and let the uncle make trouble, the Yao family is really too much, so many things, the Yao family is afraid that she doesn't want to keep it as a dowry for her own daughter! Why? That was what her mother left for her and Jing Yuan.
About half an hour later, the uncle came back, Jing Yuan followed behind and laughed smilingly, Lin Yanyan knew that it was done.
The uncle had other important matters to deal with, so he said goodbye first, saying that he would come again before leaving Beijing.
As soon as the uncle left, Jing Yuan took out a stack of bills: "Sister, the uncle is really powerful, it takes no effort, and he wants to come back with four shops, a Zhuangzi, and say that three achievements will be thirty percent, and one less point will not work." β
"The funniest thing is that the second aunt was greedy for the jewelry left by her mother, and her grandmother didn't know about it, and Mother Li reported it the same, and her grandmother's face was green, and the second aunt defended that she was afraid that we would lose it when we were young, so she kept it first. But even if you want to keep it, you have to let your grandmother know, right? And it's not a small amount. β
"Uncle said, according to the laws of Dasheng, the in-laws are not qualified to use the woman's dowry, my sister-in-law has a good heart, and is willing to take it out to supplement the Hou Mansion, I have nothing to say, but my sister's jewelry is left for the two children, they are willing to take it or throw it away, they are all at their will, don't worry about you, return it as soon as possible, otherwise, I will sue Shuntian Mansion with a complaint."
"Scared the second aunt, said that I would send it back later, sister, the second aunt is finished." Kyungwon gloated.
Lin Yanyan said: "Grandmother's trust in the second aunt is gradually collapsing, but it's still too early to finish, after all, there is the second uncle, and Jingwen and Jing Xiu are already famous, they are the talisman of the second aunt." β
"Anyway, sooner or later, it's going to be over." Lin Jingyuan said firmly, it's not that he didn't report that the time had not come.
