Chapter 572: Colluding
At Lin Laosan’s family, many people gathered.
“What? San ‘Er, is what you said true?” Lin Laosan took a puff of his cigarette as he asked Lin Sanniu with a serious expression. “did the head of the Yan family really give you five taels of silver for you to Sue that brat for being unfilial? ”
Li Cuihua’s focus was different. When she heard that Yan Lin was going to give Lin Sanniu five taels of silver, her eyes immediately lit up. “San ‘Er, does Yan Lin really plan to give you five taels of silver? ” she asked excitedly. “Has he given it to you? Hurry up and give it to me. ” She couldn’t wait to get the five taels of silver.
To them, five taels of silver was not a small amount.
When Lin Sanniu heard his mother’s words, a troubled expression appeared on his face. He said, ” mother, this money is the complaint fee that I need to pay to the county court to sue that girl.” Once he handed it over to his mother, he would not be able to Sue that girl for being unfilial.
Li Cuihua was a short-sighted old woman. She wanted the five taels of silver to belong to her, but she also wanted the girl to disappear from her sight.
Thus, she rolled her eyes and immediately waved her hand as if it didn’t matter. “leave the money to me for safekeeping first. I’ll return it to you when you set off on the day you leave. How about that? ” When that day came, he could get Lin Sanniu to ask for another five taels of silver from Yan Lin. He could just find an excuse to say that it had been stolen.
She believed that Yan Lin, who hated Lin yuelan, would not refuse to pay Lin Sanniu more money.
Li Cuihua’s little plan was well thought out.
However, she should not think of everyone as fools who were so easy to deceive.
Lin Sanniu was in a difficult position.
He had never rejected any request from his mother, and he did not know how to reject anything his mother said.
Lin Sanniu looked helplessly at his father.
Lin Laosan’s eyes swept across the room, and he immediately knew what his wife was up to.
He immediately rebuked sternly, “What for? Can you still take it out after he gives it to you? Why are you so shallow? This is the money San ‘Er was going to use to Sue that wretched girl. As long as we can Sue that wretched girl, not to mention five taels of silver, even five hundred taels or five thousand taels of silver will be yours.”
That girl’s net worth was more than five thousand taels of silver just from her house, not to mention the hundred mu of land. The Lin’s medicine shop and other things added up to at least ten thousand taels of silver.
Li Cuihua heard Lin Laosan’s reprimand and then heard five hundred taels. Five thousand taels of money in hand. Her expression immediately flashed with greed and the joy of getting money.
She immediately chuckled and said, ” yes, yes, the old man is right. San “er, you should keep the five taels of silver for yourself. Mother is waiting for you to bring big money to show your filial respect to mother. After that, our whole family can sit happily in that big courtyard.”
She imagined a beautiful future.
What a whimsical idea!
When Lin Sanniu heard that the whole family would be staying in the big courtyard, he could not help but feel excited. He had done so much because he wanted to live with his parents and be filial to them.
Lin Sanniu had always wanted to be filial to his parents, but he never gave any thought to Lin Yuelan. Now, other than coveting her money, he was even trying to occupy that big house. He was simply not worthy of being a father.
Lin Sanniu left his parent’s house and made a detour to the Yan residence.
When they arrived at the Yan residence, Lin Sanniu looked around warily before knocking on the door.
A moment later, the door was opened.
The moment Lin Sanniu entered, he saw Yan Lin basking in the sun in the courtyard.
Yan Lin’s eyes were closed as he lay on the recliner as if he was asleep.
After a moment, he closed his eyes and said, ” you’re here!” It was obvious that he was referring to Lin Sanniu.
After that, he made a gesture.
The servants immediately retreated from the courtyard.
Yan Lin’s eyes opened slightly. Then, he pointed to a chair at the side and said, ” sit down!” His tone was neither cold nor indifferent. Then, he closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep again.
After Lin Sanniu sat down, he said, ” I’ve already followed your instructions and mastered the technique of growing vegetables in winter. I’ve brought you some vegetable seedlings and destroyed some of them in the greenhouse. When can I get the five taels of silver?”
