Early the next morning, Xiahou Shuang came to say goodbye. After accompanying the old lady to finish breakfast, the old lady sent someone to invite Lin.

Under the pretext of taking care of Xiahou Yan, the Lin family has not gone to ask for peace for several days, and now the old lady suddenly sent someone to invite her, although she was puzzled, she did not dare to delay, and hurriedly followed the person to Yanhe Hall.

When I entered the house, I saw that in addition to the old lady Xiahou Shuang, she was also present, and when she saw Xiahou Shuang, the Lin family couldn't help but think of the secret loss of these few meals, and the smile on her face turned cold.

After greeting the old lady, she said: "The daughter-in-law has been busy with Yan'er's injury these days, and she has not come to greet her mother, and she hopes that her mother will atone for her sins." ”

The old lady said lightly: "The third girl is injured, and you are physically and mentally exhausted if you have to take care of it day and night, so it's okay if you don't come." ”

Then he said: "I have Mama Chen and Frost Girl here, you just have to take care of your business." ”

After hearing this, Lin hurriedly stood up: "Thank you mother for your kindness." ”

The old lady waved her hand and motioned for the Lin family to sit down: "I asked you to come here today because I have something to tell you." ”

Lin lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and said, "Mother, please command." ”

The old lady glanced at the Lin family: "The frost girl is big, and she has done a good job in managing the housework during this time, you can hand over the shop and manor left by the Rong family to her to take care of it." ”

The unprepared Lin family listened to the old lady's sudden words, and was shocked for a moment on the spot, and the Lin family, who came back to his senses, smiled dryly: "How did my mother think of this today, did the daughter-in-law do something wrong?"

The old lady glanced at the Lin family, and asked embarrassedly, doing the next stupid thing during this period of time is really a loss of the bearing of the head of the Hou Mansion.

said coldly at the moment: "These products are the dowries brought by the Rong family, and the Rong family has a thin life, so this thing is naturally owned by the frost girl." In the past, the frost girl was young, and she didn't feel at ease to take care of it, but now that she is older, and the housekeeping in the house has been taking care of it recently, she can naturally rest assured that she can be handed it over. ”

After listening to the old lady, Lin's heart was half cold, this is going to be true.

Lin was unwilling, and the shops left by Rong included rouge gouache shops, cloth clothing stores, pawnshops, and medicinal herb shops......

There are nearly ten shops in bits and pieces, and there are tens of thousands of taels of silver in a year. At the end of each year, he would cry to the old lady that the business was not good, and the income was not much, so he only handed over fifty percent of the income, and the remaining fifty percent of the income was left for some use up and down, and the rest was handed over to his brother for safekeeping.

The old lady didn't care about the entry of a few shops in this area, because she had been secretive, and the old lady's trust in herself, so she had never made a mistake.

Although there are a few estates that are not large, they are also rich in seasonal fruits, vegetables and grains every year, and the uneaten food in the house is also converted into cash, which is also a considerable amount of income.

Now he has moved these two cash cows, this is not to rip his own flesh alive!

When Lin thought of this, he felt a twitch of pain in his heart, and now it was imperative to use what words to make the old lady retract this thought.

The afterglow swept to Xiahou Shuang, who was sitting calmly and sipping tea, and Lin sighed in his heart, I am afraid that this matter was not a temporary idea, it must have been caused by this Xiahou Shuang, otherwise the old lady would not have such an idea.

When Lin Shi thought of this, the anger in his heart spread, this Xiahou Shuang is really his own nemesis! Find yourself unhappy everywhere, she hasn't settled accounts with her last time, and this is here again.

It's easy to get it back, it's up to you to take it personally!

Thinking that he has been in business for more than ten years, and almost all of the shopkeepers in it are his henchmen, and what they want them to do is not a matter of words, Lin has some confidence in his heart.

It is impossible to get the old lady to take back her fate today, but how to give her a few days of grace Lin thought about it in his heart.

After not seeing Lin's reply for a long time, the old lady hummed dissatisfied.

When Lin heard the voice, he instantly thought of his words, and opened his mouth to say: "Mother, Sister Rong left a lot of shops and miscellaneous accounts, and I have to worry about Yan'er's injuries day and night, I'm afraid I won't be able to take a break to sort it out for a while, and I ask my mother to give me more time." ”

The old lady frowned in displeasure: "Then how long will it take you?"

Lin ignored the old lady's displeasure, opened his mouth and said, "When Yan'er's injury is healed, I will start sorting out the accounts, no matter what, it will take two or three months." ”

"Mother is delaying time, can't she take it into her own hands?" Xia Houshuang mocked.

Xiahou Shuang's sentence broke what she thought in her heart, and the Lin family was annoyed and angry: "Miss, how can you talk such nonsense, that is the dowry that your mother gave you, how could I give birth to Xiao Xiang!"

In the face of Lin's accusation, Xiahou Shuang was unmoved, and continued: "I'm just wondering, Su Rili's mother is decisive and straightforward, since my mother didn't have any other intentions today, why is she so procrastinating. ”

...... Lin was speechless for a while.

"Mother needs to take care of the third sister, and I really can't pull away, or my mother will directly bring me the account book, I will see it myself, if there is something I don't understand, I don't know what my mother wants?"

"How can I do that, it was because my mother trusted me that I handed over Sister Rong's dowry to me to take care of, and now I want to return it to the eldest lady, and it should be sorted out clearly in all aspects. Lin directly refused.

Xiahou Shuang scoffed, what Lin said was high-sounding, but he didn't want to occupy more time in his hands and make more progress.

"Your mother is right, and she should be handed over to you clearly. Although the old lady was a little annoyed by the Lin family's secret stumbling over Xiahou Shuang, she was her daughter-in-law after all, and she didn't want to make Xiahou Shuang and the Lin family turn against each other.

No matter how smart and capable Xiahou Shuang is, she is not just a little girl, if she marries in the future, she will have to help her mother's family, so she wants to be a peacemaker in the middle, and said to the Lin family: "Just give you a month, if you can't do it, let Yueyun assist you." ”

When Lin Shi heard this, he didn't want to respond: "Don't bother Miss Yueyun anymore, I can do it." ”

"What do you say, frost girl?" the old lady asked as she turned to Xiahou Shuang.

Xiahou Shuang replied: "It's up to your grandmother to decide. ”

The old lady clapped her hands and said, "Then it's decided." ”

Even if the Lin family was unwilling in his heart, he couldn't refute it in any way. Under the pretext of going back to take care of Xiahou Yan, he left with a lot of worries.

Xiahou Shuang also left Yanhe Hall not long after the Lin family left, and walked towards his second aunt's courtyard.
