As night fell, three generations of the Lin family gathered around for this belated reunion dinner.

At the top sat Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin. At this time, the old man looked at the children and grandchildren on the table with a smile on his face, and listened to the children's conversation funny.

Lin Aiguo, the boss of the Lin family, is smiling all the year round, generous and straightforward. He loves his only brother Lin Aidang very much, and he has not been with this younger brother for more than ten years, which has not affected his brotherly feelings for Lin Aidang at all. When he came back this time, his wife Chen Jingru mentioned many times that the old lady embezzled the Zhou family's property to supplement Lin Ai's party, in addition to feeling guilty about his brother-in-law Zhou Xiaozheng's father and daughter, he was even more distressed that this younger brother's life was not easy, and he had gray hair at a young age.

At this time, he was whispering to Lin Aidang, "I am your brother, remember to discuss with your eldest brother if you have difficulties." If it doesn't go well for you over there, my brother will transfer it back for you. ”

His words provoked Chen Jingru beside him to bow his head and frown.

After her husband's salary was embezzled by the old lady, Chen Jingru felt uncomfortable. Especially after unexpectedly learning that my younger siblings bought a yard a year ago, I was even more worried about a burst of fire.

The husband still wants to help this time, doesn't he have to rely on her little savings? She has planned to arrange her son's yard after her daughter gets married. Where does the ability come from to solve the difficulties of the second family?

"Brother, I'm really not in trouble at the moment. I'll tell you something. Lin Aidang shook his head and said. He owes his eldest brother a lot, and if things really have to be transferred at work, his eldest brother can't help. When he came back this time, his father had already told him about his brother-in-law Zhou Xiaozheng and the old lady, and it was better for him not to return to Beijing for now.

The old lady glanced at the two daughters-in-law sitting beneath her. Turning his head to his eldest grandson Lin Dingsheng, he said, "I came back this time to meet my relatives and friends, and I want to go back?" Listen to grandma, all three of you brothers stay at home and don't go out. ”

Lin Dingsheng smiled and didn't make a sound. He understood what the old lady meant, but he had his own plans. Especially after returning to Beijing this time to meet some people and learn about it, he plans to stay in the place for a few years before coming back.

"Then you will go back after you get married." The old lady couldn't make sense of him, so she could only take the next move. As long as you find someone who is from the capital, what should you do if you see him?

"Milk, find a daughter-in-law, you can help me see it. I'm going to kill myself, and I don't want to be like a piece of pork and let people pick and choose fat and thin. As long as you can look at anyone. ”

When Jiang Jiangyu heard this, he immediately interjected: "Mom, I think my sister-in-law's niece is good. Do you want to let the other person come to the house to sit? ”

Old Man Lin asked with interest, "How old is the girl?" Worthy of my eldest grandson? What do parents do at home? Why didn't you listen to your dad in advance? ”

Old Mrs. Lin squinted at him and bowed her head silently.

"The girl just graduated from high school and is looking for a job. The person is beautiful and has a sweet mouth. Her parents are workers, and there is only one girl among the sons in the family, who is very spoiled at home. Jiang Jiangyu said.

Old man Lin looked at his wife and saw that she bowed her head and was silent. He smiled: "So the girl still forgets." Our granddaughter-in-law is looking for someone who can endure hardships, and the most important thing is to be smart. ”

After speaking, he saw his little granddaughter Lin Xuezhen roll her eyes, and scolded with a smile: "You girl, if you have something to say, just say it." What are you weird about? ”

"Grandpa, my mother said that the other party was beautiful. I'm not convinced! Still sweet? will be a sycophant. I don't like that girl, and we want to go to the compound to play when we meet her. Do you want to introduce such a person to my eldest brother? Is my aunt missing or sick? Is she worthy? ”

Old Mrs. Lin chuckled, "The eyelids are too shallow." You have to find someone who knows the basics. ”

Lin Xuezhen didn't care about her mother's muttering. She frowned and thought about it for a while, clapped her hands and said, "Milk." I don't think anyone is worthy of my big brother. ”

Lin Aiguo looked at his nephew, then at his son, and said with a smile: "Our children are not afraid of not finding a good girl." The marriage is in a hurry, but a few girls in our family have to find someone first. ”

Old Man Lin nodded, he looked at the eldest granddaughter and the second granddaughter, these two are really looking for someone.

After dinner, Old Man Lin took his two sons and Lin Dingsheng into the study.

In the study, after Mr. Lin sat down, he began to get back to business.

He said, "I told you all about it last time, right? Two days ago, your brother-in-law took Jiaojiao and his wife to meet the leaders above. He didn't talk about it to you brothers, did he? ”

Lin Aidang frowned and looked at his eldest brother.

Lin Dingsheng looked at Old Man Lin thoughtfully. He didn't know what his grandfather had said in private last time, but he had gotten a lot of information from Fang Fei and Xiao Zhou in the past few days. It's nothing more than the eldest uncle Zhou Xiaozheng has a grudge with the old lady.

Lin Aiguo sighed and said, "Brother-in-law is indeed separated from us. You can't blame your brother-in-law for this, anyone else would do the same. I've been with him the longest, and his only concern is the child. Now with the Gu family's affairs, no one can untie the knot between him and his mother. ”

Old Man Lin nodded, looked at Lin Aiguo, and said, "Boss, tell me about your mother's affairs in addition to her mother's affairs, is there anything else that offends your brother-in-law by being inconsiderate?" I don't think even your sister cares about your mother now. Something is wrong! Now tell me what's going on? ”

"Dad, the past is over, let's just treat them well in the future. Shall we go out for a walk at night? Lin Aiguo secretly complained. As soon as he told the truth, his little brother didn't feel more guilty.

Seeing him change the topic, Old Man Lin let out a long sigh and said faintly: "Is it a matter of money?" If you don't say it, I know it in my heart. Originally, I wanted to turn a blind eye, but something happened to my family. There are some things you still don't understand, if I'm not mistaken, your mother already knows Zhou Xiaozheng's true background. If you were Zhou Xiaozheng, what would you think? ”

Lin Dingsheng narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, glanced at his uncle, lowered his head and was silent. It seems that he still hasn't learned the truth about many things.

"Say it! Otherwise, I really want to ask your brother-in-law, and I won't be able to figure it out to be my father-in-law in the end. Old Man Lin said. His wife may keep silent about him, but she will definitely say it to her son.

Lin Aiguo frowned and asked in a low voice, "Is the accident at my uncle's house really like you said this time?" ”

"Hmph, you still don't believe me?" After Old Man Lin finished speaking, he saw that his grandson, who he had been carefully cultivating, had a questioning face, thought about it, and then told him about the Gu family's grievances.

After Lin Dingsheng listened, he was silent for a moment, and said to Lin Aiguo: "Uncle, no matter whether the eldest uncle intervenes in this time or not, the Gu family is over." We have to analyze what gap there is between grandma and uncle, and how to act in the future, we all have to know in our hearts. ”

Lin Aiguo looked at the three people in the study with a calm face. After a while, he stood up and said, "I don't know the specific situation, I'd better call my mother in and let her say it herself." ”

Lin Dingsheng hurriedly pulled him and whispered, "Don't let grandma speak!" The matter of her uncle's family has already embarrassed her, how can she still be asked to say these things to us? ”

Lin Aiguo paused and sat down again. He didn't know where to start for a while, and said with a wry smile: "My brother-in-law's savings are all in my mother's, and my mother misappropriated them........"

After listening to what happened, Old Man Lin muttered, "No wonder? No wonder? No wonder? ”

Or did Lin Dingsheng calm down first, and he asked: "So the aunt's family thinks that grandma has usurped their family's property, but she doesn't take care of Jiaojiao?" Do they think that the Gu family is eyeing their money? ”

Seeing that Lin Aidang was about to speak, he immediately stopped his father, knowing that his father would definitely ask where the money was. He more or less knew that the old lady had made up for their family in the past few years. It's just that he never thought that it wasn't the old lady's private money. Nowadays, where to spend the money is not the main problem, but how to solve it.

"Uncle, did my uncle mention this money in front of you? How is your relationship now compared to the past? ”

Lin Aiguo shook his head with a wry smile, "Your uncle is not an ordinary person. How could he embarrass me by mentioning money in front of me? Don't talk about him, even Jiaojiao won't let your aunt mention it. In addition to the fact that the two fathers and daughters don't come to the door, do you see anything abnormal? But the relationship between the two families is different in the end, and it has become more polite and distant. ”

Lin Dingsheng asked, "Where is he so rich?" Is it an ill-gotten income that keeps it to the table? ”

Old Man Lin shook his head when he heard this.

Lin Dingsheng looked at the old man and Lin Aiguo in puzzlement. He didn't understand what was wrong with him? It will make the two elders look disappointed.

"Grandpa......"

Old man Lin faced his eldest grandson, and secretly wondered how to arrange for his eldest grandson in the future. Seeing that he was puzzled, he pressed it with a gesture and asked him to sit down.

After a while, he said, "Grandpa told you before that you must not make up your mind before you know a person. It seems that you have been in the Great Northwest for a long time and have forgotten. You must have met Zhou Xiaozheng when you came back, right? Do you think he'll keep it on the bright side? ”

Lin Aiguo continued: "Soon after he was 15 years old, he took ginseng and those things, ran away from home and ran to S City, and made a lot of money in business for half a year. I guess he wanted to find Liu Xizhi at the earliest, and he didn't plan to enlist in the army. Later, for some reason, after the age of 16, he ran to join the army again. At the beginning, he also donated a lot of private property to the organization, which is a lot of money for him? ”

Old Man Lin saw that his eldest grandson was enlightened, and said: "In everything, you must understand each other first before drawing conclusions." You've been stupid in a small place for the past two years. Second brother, you go back this time to inquire if there is a place to study in Beijing, and then I will find a way to see if I can let my child go to a military school for a while. ”

Lin Dingsheng knew that he couldn't refuse the old man's decision, so he nodded and sat on the side and listened to their arrangement.

Mr. Lin and his two sons talked about the future of their three grandchildren. Seeing that his eldest grandson was a little depressed, he paused and comforted: "Grandpa doesn't think you are bad, but everyone else is improving, and you are indeed standing still." You know what grandpa means, right? You're the boss, and I can only be strict with you. ”

"Grandpa, it's me who slackened. Don't worry, I'll do my best! Lin Dingsheng said in a firm tone.

Old Man Lin nodded. He put these things aside and didn't mention them, and then talked about how to ease the relationship between Zhou Xiaozheng and his family, and let his two sons express their opinions.

This son-in-law will never let him centrifuge. With Zhou Xiaozheng, his Lin family has increased the winning side. If Zhou Jiao and his family help his family, then he will be even more at ease.

He knew that the key was Zhou Jiao. Zhou Jiao and his wife still have a little affection for themselves, but they are worried that they will not be alive in the future, and even the last bit of face will be gone.
