Nalan Jin thought that he hadn't gone out for so long since he came to the Western Regions, and the Lin family, as Dongfang Yi's godmother, was half a mother-in-law, so he took this opportunity to take the Lin family out for a walk, and by the way, he bought something as a meeting gift.

But no matter what Nalan Jin took to ask Lin's suggestion, she always nodded and agreed, one bite at a time, and nodded and said yes without even looking at it.

"Godmother, what do you think of this jade bracelet?" Nalan Jin looked at the emerald green bracelet and asked.

"Yes, yes." Lin looked out absentmindedly.

Nalan Jin frowned and looked at the Lin family, her attention was still behind her, as if something big had happened, or she was worried about something.

"Godmother, do you have something on your mind?" Nalan Jin glanced in the direction of the Lin family, "Why are you absent-minded all the way, you always agree to ask anything, and you are not listening to me at all." ”

Lin was questioned by Nalan Jin, and he was even more scared, and almost broke the porcelain vase in the store when he retreated.

"No, I'm just a countryman, I don't understand such a thing, you have seen the world better than me, and the one you pick must be good." Lin looked at Nalan Jin with a smile.

Although the Lin family has never seen the world, he is not a reserved person. Looking at her appearance along the way, it is clear that she has something in her heart.

"Godmother, are you not feeling well, or is there something else?" Nalan Jin suddenly had a bad premonition.

She has been muttering in her heart, to make the Lin family so flustered, there should be no second person besides Lin Dacheng. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

"No, it's not like that, Dacheng ......," Lin hurriedly explained.

Although the Lin family said a lot of good things about Lin Dacheng's reform, Lin's eyes and her expression betrayed her.

"Godmother, you are confused."

Nalan Jin threw down a sentence, left the Lin family alone in the jade shop, and ran back to the store quickly. The boss of the jade shop took the bracelet and looked at the back of Nalan Jin running, thinking that a good business would turn yellow in the blink of an eye.

Lin looked at the bracelet in the boss's hand and was shy, the boss looked at Lin and was not a person who used this kind of luxury, just like Lin, and he didn't keep persuading like Nalan Jin.

Lin thought that if Nalan Jin went back and collided with Lin Dacheng, he would definitely have a conflict, and the atmosphere that had finally eased up became tense again. I also hurried back to the store.

Nalan Jin went back and saw that there was no shadow of Lin Dacheng in the store except for the guys, and everyone thought something had happened when they saw Nalan Jin's anxious appearance.

Without saying a word, she ran directly to the warehouse, and saw that the door was intact and locked, and Nalan Jin thought that it was really her villain's heart.

"Boss, why are you here again?" The guy looked at Nalan Jin suspiciously.

"What do you mean, did I just come here?" Nalan Jin became more and more strange.

"Didn't you have no time just now, so you asked Lin Dacheng to come over and take away the batch of goods that came in the warehouse the day before yesterday."

The man's words made Nalan Jin feel like he had been hit by a thunderbolt from the sky, and his head felt like he was about to crack. The batch of goods the day before yesterday was to be picked up by the guests in the afternoon, and they were booked seven days in advance, and even the deposit was paid.

"Open the door!"

Nalan Jin glared and asked the guy to open the door, and sure enough, the batch of goods the day before yesterday didn't even have a single thread left, and all of them were taken away. She was so angry that the anger in her heart almost set the treasury on fire.

"When will the customer come to pick up the goods?" Nalan Jin asked.

"The appointment is in the afternoon, and if there is something to do, it can be delayed for a while." The dude did the math.

"In this way, quickly order someone to fill the goods, and after the guests come, try to delay as long as possible. Don't tell anyone about this thing, you know? Nalan Jin rationally explained the current matter.

"Yes."

According to Nalan Jin's instructions, the man re-ordered all the goods according to the requirements of the guests, and the time to transport them back to the warehouse was a little time-consuming, so he asked people to take the guests who came to pick up the goods to go around the store to buy time.

Dongfang Yi came back and saw that the guy was busy carrying the goods again, and he felt very strange, so he asked the guy. At first, the guy listened to Nalan Jin's words and refused to speak, but later he told the truth under Dongfang Yi's questioning.

"Boss, it was Lin Dacheng who took the goods of the afternoon guests, and the proprietress was worried that she would lose her trust, so she told us to hurry up and buy the goods again." The guy was a little torn and said, "It's the boss lady who won't let me say it, but don't say it's what I said." ”

"Got it, hard work."

Dongfang Yi was conflicted in her heart, such things happened one after another, at first Nalan Jin was angry with him and defended a few words, but now she just didn't tell him, maybe in her heart, it was not so important to talk to Dongfang Yi or not.

He didn't want to believe that Lin Dacheng was greedy for money in the store, and he must have accumulated gambling debts, so he had to make this decision. Thinking about the poor and helpless Lin, this matter was concealed like this.

He handed Lin into his room, closed the door and talked quietly, "Godmother, do you know that Dacheng went to pick up the things in the store again, I don't blame him, it's just that if it goes on like this, it will really hurt him." ”

Lin looked at Dongfang Yi's eyes and knew that what Lin Dacheng did during the day had spread in the store here, and everyone didn't want to mention it because of her face.

"I know that Dacheng took the things in the store while I was out shopping with Jin'er." Lin lowered his head in shame.

"Godmother knows? So you went out with Jin'er on purpose? Why, you know that you still ...... "Dongfang Yi really doesn't understand Lin's physiognomy."

"I know that everyone looks down on Dacheng and doesn't want to be under the same roof as him, I think he has money, let him leave alone, he owes you, I will pay it back for him, I can work." Lin begged Dongfang Yi with tears in his eyes.

Dongfang Yi can understand the hardships of a woman raising her child with hard work, know the sins suffered by the Lin family, and look at her pitiful appearance, so she can't ask again, so she has to let the Lin family rest well and stop asking.

However, Lin Dacheng lived up to Lin's hard work, and put his face on his face in exchange for a stable life, as soon as the goods were sold, the money in his hand was not hot, he couldn't hold back the itching of his hands, and went to the gambling house to gamble.

This gambling house is notoriously ruthless, and all gamblers who owe money and do not pay it back will pay off their debts with their arms and legs.

At the beginning, he won a few handfuls, Lin Dacheng wanted to use the money in his hand to turn the tables, but he didn't expect a big bet to go down, not only lost a fine light, but also owed thousands of taels of silver to the gambling house.

"Open big! This is going to drive me wide! The beads of sweat on Lin Dacheng's head kept rolling down.

Lin Dacheng gambled until his eyes were red, and he didn't know that he had no gambling money in his hands at all, but he still wiped the sweat on his head and shouted together, but the boss who had been monitoring him next to him saw it really.

"Wait!" The boss shouted and walked down, "We are not a good place for a casino here, you don't have any silver in your hand, forget it, come on!" Drop-off! ”

The eyes of the people in the casino will automatically search for those who have money, especially the eyes of the casino owner are like eagle eyes, keen and penetrating, and what kind of people can be seen at a glance.

Therefore, Lin Dacheng's little bit of Taoism has nothing to hide in front of the casino owner.

"Why do you look down on people? If you don't let me block all my money, can't you afford to lose, or are you afraid that I will win out? Lin Dacheng pretended to be justified and reasoned with the people in the gambling house.

"Haha, joke! You don't want to inquire about when my Dayuan Gambling House has climbed. If you can come up with gambling funds, I will accompany you to the end! The owner of the gambling house stared at Lin Dacheng.

Lin Dacheng looked at the empty table in front of him, then touched the shriveled pocket, and looked around in a panic, but it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to hold on to the scene.

"I didn't bring it when I came out in a hurry, so I won't play today." Lin Dacheng left under the pretext.

The owner of Dayuan Gambling House knew that Lin Dacheng was a thing that couldn't get on the table, so he hurriedly ran away before he finished speaking, but Lin Dacheng owed money and wanted to run, which was whimsical.

He was worried that he would be beaten by the people of Dayuan Gambling House, so he hid and did not dare to go back to the store.

Lin didn't see Lin Dacheng return to the store for several days, and he was very worried, so he went to Dongfang Yi for help. I went there several times in a row and saw that Dongfang Yi was busy, so he was embarrassed to speak when the words came to his lips.

Nalan Jin was on the side, watching the Lin family walk around.

In the past few days, Nalan Jin has also heard some rumors about Lin Dacheng outside, good things don't go out, and evil things go thousands of miles.

"Look, your godmother has something to do with you, and you've been around for a long time, why don't you go over and take a look?" Nalan Jin's eyes hinted at Dongfang Yi.

Only then did Dongfang Yi put down the business in his hand and paid attention to the Lin family on the side, seeing that the Lin family was full of anxiety, it should have encountered a hundred thousand urgent things.

"Godmother, what are you doing standing at the door, come in and say something." Dongfang Yi brought Lin into the house and sat down.

"I ...... Actually, it's nothing, your business matters, if you have something to do, get busy first. Lin Shi saw that Dongfang Yi had been busy looking at the work on the other side.

"I'm fine." Dongfang Yi looked at the Lin family as if he was preoccupied, "Is there something wrong with the godmother?" We're all family, so don't hesitate to say anything. ”

"I didn't ...... It's just that I haven't seen Dacheng for a few days, if you have time, help me find it, you are busy. ”

After Lin finished speaking, he left, and when Dongfang Yi was still confused, Lin was already far away. Nalan Jin looked at Lin and twisted his eyebrows in thought. Dongfang Yi felt that Nalan Jin seemed to know Lin's worries.

"Do you know what the godmother is for?" Dongfang Yi walked up to Nalan Jin and tilted his head to look at her.

Nalan Jin wanted to take this opportunity to try out Dongfang Yi's attitude towards Lin Dacheng's matter.

"Dacheng stole things from the store to gamble again, and everyone on the street said that he owed money to the gambling house, and it is estimated that the people in the gambling house were looking for him everywhere, and he didn't dare to come back for so long." Nalan Jin said tentatively.

"Oh."

Dongfang Yi just hummed expressionlessly, and didn't react much at all.
