Chapter 3: Raising Money
When having breakfast the next morning, Mrs. Lin hesitated to tell Lin Shiwei what Lin Bozhou meant.
"Shi Wei, your father has been in charge of the silver all these years, and my mother really doesn't have much cash in her hands, you see, how much silver do you have, our family will get together and rescue your father first."
Lin Shiwei frowned: "Mother, although 30,000 taels is a lot, it's not that our family can't get it together, how much worse are you?" ”
Mrs. Lin glanced at her face carefully, and then said cautiously: "There are still fifteen thousand taels left......
"What?" Lin Shiwei's face changed suddenly.
Mrs. Lin hurriedly said again: "That, if you sell another piece of jewelry, and then return the set clothes, maybe you can still make up 5,000 taels, then there is a shortage of 10,000 taels." ”
No matter how stupid Lin Shiwei is, he understands now that he is asking her for money temporarily!
"Mother, you also know, I only have a little silver per month, my clothes and jewelry are all from the public, where do I have silver?" Lin Shiwei couldn't help but ask, paused, and said again: "Mother, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person, how much have you and your father subsidized your eldest brother over the years?" In our family, including you and your father, the richest person is probably the eldest brother! You should let the eldest brother give a little, she is also our family! ”
The Lin family has a simple population and few masters, and Lin Shiwei's monthly routine is fifty taels a month, which is a lot of silver in the monthly monthly case of the rich lady, but Lin Baizhou has a monthly silver of eight hundred taels per month, and sometimes it is not enough, Mrs. Lin and Lin Dayi will always subsidize it.
Mrs. Lin's face changed suddenly: "Are you branding your eldest brother's idea?" Your eldest brother is a man, and the cost of socializing outside is already large, and you are still not satisfied? You go out and ask, in the whole Huaizhou, how many young ladies have a higher monthly rate than you? ”
Lin Shiwei said expressionlessly: "There are not many men whose monthly cases are higher than that of the eldest brother. ”
"You!" Mrs. Lin's face changed when she was stunned, and then she clutched her chest and screamed: "Why did I give birth to you, an unfilial daughter, and now that your father is in trouble, you even refuse to help!" I knew you were so conscienceless, I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place, it's enough to have your eldest brother! ”
Lin Shiwei lowered her head and smiled abruptly, since her father's accident, it was she who came forward to deal with it, comforting the victim's family, and the things in the shop, including going to the yamen to inquire about the news, were all supported by her, and her eldest brother was hiding from anyone at all.
But now, according to Mrs. Lin's meaning, it was as if she had done nothing.
Even if he has long been accustomed to his mother's partiality, Lin Shiwei still inevitably feels uncomfortable in his heart.
Lin Baizhou returned from a hangover, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard Mrs. Lin's scream, and hurriedly walked in, and when he saw this situation, he pointed at Lin Shiwei and scolded: "Lin Shiwei, let me tell you, if you make a good fool of yourself, I won't let you go!" Don't think that now that Dad is gone, you will be lawless! There are still men in the Lin family! ”
Lin Shiwei looked at Lin Baizhou drunk and frowned: "Where did you go?" Daddy is still in prison, don't fool around! ”
Lin Baizhou's eyes flashed, but he said angrily: "You don't talk about me!" Is it your turn to take care of me? ”
When Mrs. Lin saw her son, she had confidence in her heart and hugged him in her arms, "Bai Zhou, Bai Zhou, you can count on it, my mother can see it, my mother can't count on anyone, I can only count on you!" As he spoke, he wiped away his tears.
Xiaoxi on the side desperately gave Lin Shiwei a look and asked her not to agree.
Lin Baizhou said: "Mother, don't be afraid, my son is here, my son won't let anyone bully you!" After a pause, he glared at Lin Shiwei angrily: "You don't want to make amends to your mother quickly, if it weren't for the fact that your mother hurt her body when she gave birth to you, how could your mother's body be so bad?" Lin Shiwei, do you still have a conscience? ”
This is true, when Mrs. Lin was born prematurely when Lin was in decline, she almost lost two lives, and in the end, although she was saved, she lost her body, so that she never gave birth again.
Maybe Mrs. Lin is partial to Lin Baizhou, and there is also this reason for not wanting to see Lin Shiwei.
But the reason why Mrs. Lin was born prematurely was because Lin Baizhou was naughty and hit Mrs. Lin's body, and Mrs. Lin fell before she fell.
However, Mrs. Lin had instinctively ignored the reason, and only remembered that it was Lin Shiwei who made her suffer.
Lin Shiwei felt astringent in his heart, but said: "Mother, don't be angry with me, it's my fault, don't be angry." ”
Mrs. Lin didn't look at her, still clutching her chest and screaming.
Lin Shiwei was helpless: "Mother, don't be angry, Dad is still waiting for us to save him." ”
Mrs. Lin immediately stopped screaming, she looked at Lin Shiwei with her eyes, and asked weakly, "Then you are willing to pay?" ”
Xiaoxi sighed, it's over, the general trend has gone, and her young lady will definitely compromise.
Lin Shiwei thought for a while, and then said: "Mother, I really don't have that much, I only have five thousand taels in my hand, and I will let Xiaoxi give it to you later." ”
"It's only five thousand taels." Mrs. Lin was a little disappointed, she was a little unconvinced: "You didn't follow your father to do business outside, so there wasn't much left?" ”
Lin Shiwei finally couldn't help but be annoyed: "Mother, those are all money on the counter, every transaction has to be recorded in the account book, how can it be moved!" ”
Mrs. Lin's expression was sneering, "Okay, okay, my mother didn't say anything, let's take the silver and rescue your father first." ”
Lin Shiwei sighed, nodded and took your head, I don't have the heart to eat now, and I took Xiaoxi back to get the silver.
As soon as she left the main hall, Xiaoxi couldn't help but complain: "Miss, why do you agree?" The five thousand taels of silver were secretly given to you by the master, saying that they were for you to marry and add makeup to the bottom of the box! ”
Five thousand taels of silver is actually a lot, but over the years, Lin Baizhou has spent more than five thousand taels a year, and Xiaoxi really feels that it is not worth it for her young lady.
Lin Shiwei said: "It's okay, it's important to save my father." ”
There is no shortage of her dowry in the family, and if she can save her father with these five thousand taels of silver, she doesn't feel reluctant.
Now that he had made up his mind, Lin Shiwei married the silver and sent it to Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin put the silver tickets together, and then said: "This is all pieced together by me, and the silver in the public has already been taken out, alas, I really hope to save your father." ”
Mrs. Lin said, and she was about to hand the silver containing the silver ticket to Lin Shiwei.
"Wait!" Lin Baizhou suddenly shouted, and Mrs. Lin's hand was stunned.
