Chapter 142: The Lin family has internal ghosts
said that he was going to walk in the garden, but Lin Ru went straight to the stone bench under the vines in the garden, the grapevines in winter had already been properly trayed and buried, and the comfortable place to spend summer in summer looked a little depressed now.
Lin Ran had no choice but to casually greet the cleaner who was busy cleaning the garden on the other side, and asked her to go to the house to spread a message, ask someone to come over to clean up, and bring some tea and snacks by the way.
Lin Ru stood aside, looking at Lin Ran lightly arranging manpower and entertaining her in an orderly manner.
Although the age difference is very large, and the generation is also a generation apart, Lin Ru is a guest today, and it is indeed Lin Ran who should entertain her.
There was a layer of unknown emotion in her eyes, although she still looked like a child, she was indeed a teenager and an old man.
Soon, two little nannies came in with snacks and tea, cleaned the stone table and stone benches, and put two soft cushions.
"Uncle Cheng said that you have loved to eat mung bean crisp since you were a child," one of the little nannies smiled respectfully, "This is made in the kitchen at home this morning, and the two of you use it slowly." ”
Lin Ran wondered in her heart: I didn't expect Uncle Cheng to know this second aunt in the third room like this.
"I also lived in the old mansion for a few years, and my uncle and aunt were busy, so I had to take care of me by Uncle Cheng. Lin Ru saw her doubts at a glance, and after pinching a piece of mung bean crisp and eating it slowly, she said, "Only Uncle Cheng remembers that I can't eat too sweet, and he will halve the sugar of the filling." ”
From this perspective, you can see that most of the garden is planted with evergreen plants in all seasons, but it doesn't look beautiful in other seasons.
Lin Ru looked at it with emotion for a while.
She didn't speak, so Lin Ran naturally wouldn't bother.
"You're different from Zhou Xixue," she retracted her gaze and looked at Lin Ran's appearance and hooked her lips, "Although children like us are always more mature than ordinary people, I haven't seen a few like you over the years." ”
Lin Ran went around in circles with her: "I have a weird personality and am usually lazy, so I look different from people of the same age, and I may look a little old." ”
I first told myself that I have a weird personality, you can't find anything else to say to scare me, right?
"You're willing to talk about yourself." Lin Ru pursed her lips, "Are you afraid of me?" ”
"I'm afraid...... Of course I'm afraid. Lin Ran didn't hide it, and said generously, "I'm afraid that the second aunt will scold me like you did to the two cousins." ”
Lin Ru's eyes flashed: This kid is in and out of place, and he knows when to say something......
There is such a person, no wonder the second elder has not been relaxed about the inheritance over the years.
And I heard that this year's ancestor worship is also ......
Her smile deepened, but she didn't look at Lin Ran anymore, just looked at the cup of hot tea in her hand: "The two of them are too fake, I just said what was in their hearts, and everyone in the province still bothered to pretend to be harmonious." ”
Lin Ran was embarrassed, although she didn't have a good impression of those two families, but she felt that today's words were definitely not Lin Ru's misinterpretation, they were just normal polite words.
Lin Ru didn't mind her silence at all, she just said what she wanted to say: "You don't have to worry about Zhou Xixue's previous events, I still have brains, I know that your mother is your mother, and you are you." There is no need to be angry with the juniors for the grievances of the previous generation. ”
didn't expect her to say it so clearly, Lin Ran smiled bitterly from the bottom of her heart: "That's really thank you Second Aunt." ”
As if inadvertently, Lin Ru brought up the past: "I guess my aunt also told you about the past." But I can tell you that I don't know much about the Lin family over the years, not because of Zhou Xixue, but because of the internal ...... of the Lin family There are inner ghosts. ”
Lin Ran's spirits perked.
She and Lin Jinghe both felt that the Lin family had a person hiding behind and spying on everything, but even if Lin Jinghe was frustrated because of this person, he only vaguely felt a shadow.
But Lin Ru, as the eldest daughter of the third room, has enough age and seniority, and I heard that the third uncle values this daughter very much, so maybe he will tell her his opinion as it is, and let her help him analyze the situation.
She looked at Lin Ru and said sincerely: "Second aunt, don't hide it from you, there are some things that grandparents are also hiding from me, and I still haven't figured it out, what happened to my brother at that time, and the entire fourth room is now like it is not the Lin family at all......"
"The fourth room was at home at the time, and it can be said that it is extremely beautiful." Lin Ru didn't answer her directly, "At that time, your father had an accident, and Zhou Xixue took you to remarry Qiao Jingyi, and the old man in the fourth room is the closest to your grandfather." ”
Lin Ran had no choice but to sit more straight, looking like she was listening.
Lin Ru let out a short laugh mockingly: "I won't hide it from you, our family did make a small move on the fourth room at that time, because at that time, Lin Jinghe was the best among the juniors, not to mention, he was still the eldest, and everyone felt that the Lin family would inherit it from him in the future...... Who would have thought that the old man in the fourth room was angry because of this, saying that the things of the family belong to the family, no matter how others covet it, the people in the fourth room will never fight the idea of inheritance. ”
Although it is better to be as good as Lin Jinghe as if he is a sibling, but for the fourth uncle, Lin Ran has the impression of a white-bearded old man who will secretly stuff her pocket money with a smile.
Now it sounds like a man of full temperament.
"As soon as these words came out, they slapped all of us in the face, but they did stifle the competition between you and me on the surface." Lin Ru sighed, "At that time, I persuaded my father to stop fighting the idea of inheritance, at least not until my uncle and aunt relented...... Not to mention that it hurts the brotherhood, it doesn't sound good to spread out, it looks like it's going to make a fortune, and it is true. ”
To say that Lin Ran is not surprised, it is false.
She didn't expect that Lin Ru would so calmly reveal the inside story of the Lin family's chaos, and even tell her family's plans.
Her surprise was not completely hidden, and Lin Ru, who discovered this, said slowly: "In a family like ours, outsiders look at the scenery, and only they know the pain inside. Our family is too, and the inside is actually not enough to support a luxurious life in the future, but we have to do it for the sake of the surface, so when I hear that I can inherit my family's property, regardless of whether the rumored Wanguan family wealth is true or false, it is certain that it is biased. ”
Lin Ran didn't pretend either: "I can understand all this, but the family's wealth and so-called transcendent status ......"
She shook her head: "Grandparents have never been involved in business in their lives, even if their lives are better than ordinary people, they can only be regarded as the last in the wealthy family." As for the transcendent status, it is just that outsiders have come for the past merits of the two of them, and if the successor himself is not capable, it will only cause people to laugh at it. ”
"Yes, you can understand something that a little kid can understand, but they can't." Lin Ru didn't know what she thought, and sneered again, "My dad promised to consider what I said, but I couldn't persuade Lin Qi, not to mention that there was a Jin Congmeng jumping up and down next to him, so he simply took advantage of what happened to your mother a few years ago, and never had anything to do with other people in the family and cut off the relationship." ”
Since she couldn't change this puddle of sludge, she simply withdrew and left.
Everyone is drunk and I am sober, it is easy to say, but it is not easy to do.
If Lin Ru is really the same as what he says on the outside, this kind of determination and sobriety is quite admirable.
But Lin Ran is different, she is the granddaughter of the old man and the old lady, and she must be planning for the second elder.
"Second aunt, you said that the Lin family has internal ghosts, did you find anything?" After digesting her words, Lin Ran asked.
"No, I can even tell you that I don't even have proof, so believe it or not." Lin Ru rubbed her temples, "After Lin Jinghe's incident came out, after thinking about it, I still told my ex-husband and rushed back from abroad, because Lin Jinghe really can't be a child who will kill others for the sake of self-theft in prison." ”
