Chapter VIII
Shen Junchuan was still very good at talking at this time, although he was dissatisfied after listening to Lin Qinghe's words, he still had a smile on his face, and his speech was quite gentle, not too aggressive.
"In the end, it's my father-in-law's relics, and it's always bad to give it to others. So, the book and the loom must be the same for us today, and tell me which one we will take away. Shen Junchuan looked at Xu Bowen with a smile.
Of course, Xu Bowen chose the book: "Brother Shen take the loom away, Xiaosheng is a reader, and those books are still useful for Xiaosheng, but they are useless in the hands of Brother Shen and Senior Sister Yun." The loom can also be used to weave cloth for money, and for today's Shen family, the loom is the most important. ”
Lin Zhiyun tugged on Shen Junchuan's sleeve and cried quietly: "Xianggong, I want books, those books have Daddy's handwriting on them, and I am reluctant to leave them to others." ”
Wang hurriedly said, "Why are you so ignorant? Have you forgotten that your father wanted to leave these books to UBM? UBM has access to these books, what is the use of you coming? ”
Lin Zhiyun twitched and said: "Daddy is not left to Xu Xiucai, Daddy is to be left to his future son-in-law." Now that Xu Xiucai is no longer his son-in-law, these books naturally can't be given to Xu Xiucai! ”
"Your father hopes that UBM can get ahead, otherwise how could he take care of the Xu family so much in the first place?"
"In order to take care of the Xu family, my father made a marriage to Xu Xiucai and me, and most of the savings were given to the Xu family, and in the end all I was left with a loom and a box of books. Before he died, he said to me that he hoped that Xu Xiucai and I would support each other, and that Xu Xiucai would be able to get ahead, so that I could have a good life in the future. Why didn't the eldest aunt remember all the words? Lin Zhiyun cried, "The eldest aunt keeps saying that my father wishes, my father hopes, if you really care so much about my father's feelings, how can you replace me and my sister?" ”
Shen Junchuan sneered: "Isn't it? I know that I can't climb the Lin family now, and if the Lin family's aunt is not satisfied, she can just come to the door and withdraw from her relatives, why ruin Yun Niang's good family affairs? ”
"I ...... I didn't think ......"
"If the dowry is like this, you have to say that you don't want to change relatives, isn't this treating everyone as a fool?" Shen Junchuan said with a smile, "And Yun Niang's wedding date was originally next year, and she deliberately married the eldest girl on the same day a year earlier, isn't it just to make it easier?" Let me guess again, the Lin family did this to protect the reputation of the Xu family, right? After all, the Xu family has been taken care of by my father-in-law for five years, and even if he falls in love with Miss Lin, he doesn't dare to rashly withdraw from his relatives and marry another, and scholars can't afford to have an ungrateful reputation. ”
Is that the case? The onlookers didn't understand it at first, but they suddenly understood it when Shen Junchuan dialed it like this. Over the years, the reputation of the Lin family has been very good, and when the poor scholar's younger brother died, they took the little niece back and put it in their own home to raise, even if the little niece was lazy, they had no complaints, which was quite sympathetic. But the little niece's family business was exchanged for five years by the father, and the Lin family secretly changed it, which is really not good.
"Where is Yun Yatou worthy of Xu Xiucai? Isn't it because her father has supported the Xu family for five years? Our Lin family has also raised her for five years, so what if you want her to come over? As soon as Wang was in a hurry, she exposed her shameless nature.
When the onlookers heard this, they felt that this seemed to be quite reasonable, they had been raised for five years, and the Lin family should have repaid the favor owed by the Xu family to Lin Qingshan.
Lin Zhiyun sneered in her heart, the Xu family's income over the years has basically been earned by her, but she often can't eat enough, and the Wang family actually dares to say such a thing? But this is also expected, the Wang family is a black-hearted person, otherwise how could her reputation stink like this over the years? Although she has been changed now, the people who will really sympathize with her are afraid that there is no, everyone thinks that only Lin Xiuyue is worthy of Xu Xiucai, and a notorious woman like her is naturally more compatible with the equally notorious Shen Junchuan.
"Although it is the same five years, the money and energy that can be spent may not be the same, how can it be compared?" Shen Junchuan turned his head to Xu Bowen and said, "I don't want to take away the books you transported from Yun Niang's old house today, but I have three conditions. ”
Xu Bowen didn't expect him to let go so easily, and always felt that there was some conspiracy: "Tell me about it." ”
"First, since the marriage between Xu Xiucai and Yun Niang has been stopped, please return the token of the marriage that year, I remember that it was a pair of koi jade pendants, right?"
Lin Zhiyun nodded and took out the jade pendant he had been hanging around his neck. The jade is not big, but it is a very transparent red jade, and the carved koi is round and chubby, which is very cute. Lin Xiuyue's eyes were red when she saw it, she didn't expect Lin Zhiyun to have such a good thing on her, if she had known before, she would have snatched it a long time ago!
Xu Bowen was a little reluctant to wear the jade pendant, he had worn it for many years, and even when he was the poorest, he never thought of selling it. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, he always feels that since he has that piece of jade, everything he does is quite smooth.
"It's better for Senior Sister Yun to make a price, I have been wearing this jade pendant for many years and am reluctant to leave it, I can buy Senior Sister together." Xu Bowen said.
Lin Xiuyue hurriedly echoed: "Since my husband likes this piece of jade, then let's buy it, is five taels enough?" ”
When Qian heard that there could be five taels, he immediately smiled: "Enough is enough, Yun Niang will sell this jade quickly." ”
"I'm not selling!" Lin Zhiyun's eyes were red with anger, she glared at Xu Bowen and said, "I really don't understand what Xu Xiucai means?" Again and again asked me for my father's relics! Does my family owe you anything? You're used to wearing it, but am I? ”
Yes, did Lin Qingshan's father and daughter owe anything to the Xu family? Not only did I owe it, but I also gave a lot! Even if they all think that Lin Zhiyun is not worthy of Xu Xiucai, but this Xu Xiucai can't always worry about other people's relics! Can't just because someone has raised him for five years, he will treat all the things in the second room of the Lin family as his own, right? People used to treat him as a son-in-law, but now he is not a son-in-law!
Lin Xiuyue said with a smile: "Second sister, this doesn't know the hearts of good people, speaking of the second uncle's situation, where is the jade pendant bought worth five taels?" Isn't my husband and I afraid of the Shen family's poverty and want to add more input to you? ”
Tu Shi was very satisfied when he heard this, and thought that the decision to change the bride was indeed right. Lin Zhiyun even had to worry about a few books with their family, but Lin Xiuyue was five taels as soon as she made a move, thinking that she should marry a lot of money this time.
"Then thank you for the kindness of the eldest sister, but the incorruptible are not subject to the food that comes from the mouth, and I still want to get the things back more than the five taels of silver. Originally, it was also appropriate to return to his relatives, but Xu Xiucai read the book of sages and sages, but he didn't even understand this truth? Lin Zhiyun sneered.
Xu Bowen didn't expect Lin Zhiyun to look at the soft and weak speech that was quite choked, and this was not vulgar, obviously he had read a book. Probably because I studied with Uncle Lin for a few years and couldn't do rough work, so I became a lazy existence, right?
If he had been in high school, he might have preferred such a woman who could speak well and was beautiful, but now he needed someone who could provide him with a school.
Thinking of this, Xu Bowen reluctantly returned the jade pendant: "The first condition, I agreed." ”
