Chapter 32: The Red Landlord

Lin Xiaoxi's eyebrows smiled, "You must not have thought of anything good happening." ”

"What's good?" Lin Xiaoliang asked, and began to think about whether anything good happened at this time in his previous life, but he found that he had blocked too many things in his previous life, and he didn't even know any rumors.

"The government returned the confiscated property of our Lin family at that time." Lin Xiaoxi's voice unconsciously raised.

"How is that possible?" Lin Xiaoliang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened and said, "Could it be that our Lin family is a red landlord?" ”

He had heard about this in his previous life, but in his own family, because of the existence of the Red Guards, the elders didn't dare to mention the affairs of those ancestors even after closing the door, so she didn't know much.

"You got it?" Lin Xiaoxi was a little disappointed, and a little excited: "I also only know that many elders in our grandfather and clan have saved * and the Eighth Route Army, and when a team of the Eighth Route Army was killed, it was our grandfather who led people to hide them in the partition wall. Later, the Japanese searched too carefully, and Ah Gong let them hide in the mountains from behind the door. At that time, the Japanese did not dare to enter the mountains, for fear of being plotted by the locals, and the Eighth Route Army also escaped life. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoxi frowned, "I also knew that the Japanese didn't dare to enter the mountain at the beginning, but later they dared to enter the mountain, or because there were traitors in the local area, and those traitors brought them, they dared to enter the mountain." Later, the Eighth Route Army never reappeared, and I don't know if it survived. ”

"I heard from the second uncle that the company commander of the Eighth Route Army at that time still wanted to take the uncle away as a guard, but Ah Gong refused to do it."

"Also, the second uncle said that Ah Gong helped the Eighth Route Army at the beginning. The Japanese found out about it, and they were caught and shot. Later, our aunt, who was a capitalist in J City, took the money to ransom people, but the Japanese didn't let me ransom them, but my aunt couldn't help it, so he said that he wanted to meet, but the other party wouldn't let him. said that the person had been shot, so my aunt went to the execution ground, but I didn't find the body, so I couldn't go to the cell again, but I really saw my grandfather there. Only then did I know that someone had the same name as our grandfather and became our grandfather's substitute ghost. Afterward. Ah Gong was successfully redeemed by using someone else's identity. ”

Speaking of the glorious deeds of his ancestors, Lin Xiaoxi was very excited, "This time, after the above policy, our Lin family can get back their property." ”

"How much did you get?" Lin Xiaoliang was also a little excited in her heart, she knew that the life of the little brother's family and the second uncle's family was not very good. It's just that both of them have hearts, and she can't help even if she wants to.

If she remembered it well, the wealth of their entire Lin family was not a small amount at the beginning.

No wonder she secretly went back to sweep the tomb and found that the entire Lin family was no longer the dilapidated and decadent in her memory, she only thought that the Lin family had struggled by themselves, just like the little brother.

- Because of his father's words and deeds, Lin Xiaoliang has always believed that the people of the Lin family have inherited the smart minds passed down from their ancestors.

Lin Xiaoxi replied: "A total of 60,000 yuan, our grandfather's room is 7,900 yuan, and the uncle's room is 6,500 yuan." The second uncle's house was 5,600 yuan, the third uncle's room was 9,000 yuan, and the fourth uncle's room was 4,800 yuan. The house of the fifth uncle is 6,100 yuan, the sixth uncle is 8,200 yuan, the eighth uncle is 5,900 yuan, and the ninth uncle is 6,000 yuan. ”

In fact, according to the value of the various antique calligraphy and paintings confiscated by the Lin family at the beginning, it is not enough to increase the money tenfold, but it is good to get some points. Lin Xiaoxi did not feel dissatisfied.

Lin Xiaoliang and Lin Xiaoxi's grandfather's generation, there are nine cousins combined. They are all the eldest sons of the nine houses that have been passed down by the Lin family for hundreds of years, as for the other clansmen. Even if it is their own brother, they all belong to the side branch.

According to the consistent rules of the Lin family, the property of their house should actually be inherited by the long house, that is, the uncle, and now that the uncle is not there, it should naturally belong to Lin Xiaoxi.

But Lin Xiaoliang knew that neither the eldest aunt nor the younger brother would do this.

Sure enough, Lin Xiaoxi said: "A-Niang said, we will keep 3,000 yuan for this money, 3,000 yuan for the second uncle's family, and the remaining 1,900 yuan for you, as for Xiaokang, they have 3,000 yuan from selling you, and they don't lose anything." At the end of the day, his tone was full of coldness.

"You don't have to give me the money." Lin Xiaoliang shook his head and said, "Little brother, you know, I don't lack this money at all." At the beginning, she directly put 10,000 yuan in front of her little brother, and she didn't hide from him how much money she made from selling flowers, so he knew her situation best.

"It's not lacking, and it can't be cheap, those four wolf-hearted dogs!" Lin Xiaoxi said dissatisfied.

"That's not how it works." Lin Xiaoliang raised his hand and brushed the hair around his ears, and said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "I don't miss this money, but if it is because I received this money, the other party feels that he doesn't owe me, and that is more than worth the loss." ”

For those four brothers, Lin Xiaoliang's mood is very complicated, without the regrets of her previous life, she can't hate them anymore, but because she hasn't seen each other for decades in her previous life, the relationship between brother and sister has faded. In her previous life, she couldn't retaliate against them, and it's the same in this life, but that doesn't mean she's happy to see them live without guilt.

Only after living a lifetime does she know how much damage their actions have caused to her.

Lin Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, the anger in his heart was no longer there, and he nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you, I'll go back and give them the money." ”

Saying this, he was a little gloating, don't look at him thinking that it would be good to be able to give them 1,900 yuan, but some of his cousins-in-law will definitely be dissatisfied, after all, the second uncle's family has 3,000, and they will not reflect on what they did to their little sister in the first place.

That's what he wanted, and the more restless they were, the happier he was to watch.

As he spoke, he handed the prepared 1,000 yuan to Lin Xiaoliang, "You take this money." ”

Lin Xiaoliang didn't refuse this time, he knew that it was not a comfortable thing to owe money to others, but she was still a little worried: "Little brother, do you have enough money to do business?" If not enough, I've got quite a few here. ”

"No, you don't." Lin Xiaoxi hurriedly shook his head, "This time it's also thanks to the thousand yuan you gave, I used it to double my earnings, otherwise, A-Niang wouldn't have agreed to me doing business." ”

Li Fangmei is not stupid. No matter how stable a job is, it is not as good as having money in her hands, after all, she not only has a son, but also several daughters whose in-laws are not very financially well-off, and she can also subsidize them with money.

"That's good." Lin Xiaoliang felt happy in his heart, and asked again: "Then Brother Xiaoping, what are their plans?" ”

"I didn't ask them. But depending on what they mean, they plan to come out and do business as well. Lin Xiaoxi's tone was very relaxed.

Lin Xiaoliang frowned when she heard this, she is not easy to talk about people like Yu Xiaomiao who have just met, but she can still participate in the affairs of a few cousins.

But this matter does not need to be said now, she has to think about it and make suggestions according to the different personalities of several cousins. According to her thoughts. In fact, she doesn't want them to participate in a business together, it's easy to say if it's small, but if it's big, it's easy to have entanglements when the time comes, and she doesn't want to see the drama of brothers turning against each other in the future.

Especially. In my hometown, the phrase "brothers settle accounts" does not work, even if they are not brothers, they never make IOUs when borrowing money between relatives and friends. Although this is very humane, it is easy to have disputes in individual cases, and the parties have no way to protect their rights and interests after the fact that they do not repay their debts.

This kind of business cooperation, especially between brothers, is definitely a verbal contract, and good times are good. If something goes wrong, it is easy for one party to suffer a big loss, and then it will hurt the feelings, and it is possible to die and not get along.

It's time to eat. Lin Xiaoliang asked Lin Xiaoxi to play with the two children, and went into the kitchen to cook by himself.

Lin Xiaoxi took the opportunity to visit the little sister's new home, and found that it was really good, several times better than he imagined, and thought of the little sister's ruddy complexion, and couldn't help but identify with Shen Chi's brother-in-law a little more.

Wait until Lin Xiaoliang brings the dishes up. Lin Xiaoxi couldn't help frowning, "It's just two of us adults and one child." What should I do if I can't eat so many dishes? ”

Braised pork, tofu and fish head soup, beef stew with potatoes, and spinach with ginger sauce are all dishes that Lin Xiaoxi likes to eat.

Of course. This is what Lin Xiaoliang knew in his previous life, after all, at this time, Lin Xiaoxi had not eaten many vegetables.

"Don't worry, eat it, we still have the power of the girl, right?" Lin Xiaoliang touched Yaya's head.

Yaya nodded heavily, "Auntie, I'll eat all the dishes." ”

Yaya's meal is really large, Lin Xiaoliang also took her for a while to know that she used to eat only five minutes full at every meal, of course, Yaya herself didn't know about it, let alone Yu Xiaomiao, she has always served Yaya according to the normal child's food amount. Yaya is also sensible, knowing that there is no money at home, she will never ask for more food, and over time she thinks that five points full is full.

Yaya loves to eat meat very much, this is not just said, like the braised pork she loves to eat, she can eat half a catty with a meal, but Lin Xiaoliang is afraid that she will eat her stomach, so she usually doesn't let her eat openly, and she doesn't do it every day, today she is actually stained with Lin Xiaoxi's light.

And she also digests quickly, she is hungry easily, Lin Xiaoliang always needs to prepare some snacks such as biscuits and pastries for her.

Lin Xiaoxi originally thought that this was Lin Xiaoliang joking, but when the meal started, he found out that this little girl is not fat, the amount of food is really amazing, especially when eating meat, it is so fierce, and she ate several pieces of fat and thin braised pork without paying attention.

He leaned into Lin Xiaoyan's ear and whispered: "How expensive does it cost her to eat like this?" He couldn't help but worry about his sister-in-law, don't be fooled, right?

"Her mother gave me ten dollars a month for food." Lin Xiaoliang also replied quietly.

She also knew her brother's worries, but because she liked Yaya, she really didn't care about that money, not to mention that Yu Xiaomiao really didn't know that her daughter's meal was so terrifying.

Ten dollars seems like a lot?

Lin Xiaoxi just breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned, according to the dish of the little sister today, let alone ten yuan, twenty yuan is not enough.

He was a little entangled, thinking that he had to find an opportunity to settle the account for his little sister in private. (To be continued)

ps: Most of the descriptions of the red landlord in the article are true, Ah Xue's mother's grandfather is the landlord, but because of bad luck, the Eighth Route Army he saved was no longer alive if he confiscated the family property, and he was shot because he refused to hand over the family property, and it was a little embarrassing to think about it
