Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Where's the silver? I've borrowed it for three years, and I haven't paid a cent back."

“Not a penny of the agreed interest has been paid.”

"Brother-in-law, I am not as knowledgeable as you. I want to ask you, if I don't close the shop, will you forget about this matter?"

Lin Ruhai asked very impolitely. He had never thought that the Jia family would come to the Lin family to force his wife.

I was in the yamen today and only found out about it when the steward hurriedly informed me.

"No, no, isn't it that we can't raise the money?"

"The palace has always been tense, you know that."

"If I had it, wouldn't I have given it to you?"

Jia She explained with a smile and winked at Jia Lian.

It's your turn to speak, why are you so nervous?

Jia Lian shrugged his shoulders, took a deep breath, and bowed to Lin Ruhai.

"Uncle, the family has been spending more than they earn for several years. Now, it's even difficult to pay the monthly salary on time. It's starting to fall behind."

"If the shop's profits continue to decline, our family's internal problems will really come to light in the future."

"I think my uncle knows that people like us should live a decent life."

"If there is no decency left to support it."

"It will easily attract people who will take advantage of your misfortune."

"Even the eunuchs in the palace are becoming more and more greedy."

"And the farm's output, then this farm owner will cry poor every year carrying an empty sack."

At this point, Jia Lian seemed to be thinking of something embarrassing, and some pain appeared on his face.

"Is that so?" Lin Ruhai looked around and looked at everyone in the Jia family.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's not easy." Jia She said with a grin.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian really revealed his poverty.

Mrs. Xing also nodded continuously. It was terrible that her monthly allowance was almost gone.

I can't compare with the great achievements of Lady Wang and others. My own family was not doing well to begin with, and now it's in decline. I'm relying on this little monthly salary.

The remaining few people looked sad and felt that it was a bit shameful to do so.

Especially Mrs. Wang, there is also Granny Liu at home.

How am I different from Granny Liu now?

Oh no, I left in a hurry early in the morning and had a lot to do, so I forgot to send Aunt Liu away.

Will this Granny Liu cause any trouble in the mansion?

She couldn't help but smile bitterly. Life is full of irony.

Now the Lin family's flower hall was extremely quiet, and the sound of gurgling water concealed their embarrassment.

"Since everyone thinks so, I won't beat around the bush." ​​Lin Ruhai's cold voice broke the silence.

He reached out and pulled out a ledger.

"I have an account book here. I can show it to my mother-in-law first."

"If my mother-in-law agrees, I will read it in person."

After saying this, Lin Ruhai respectfully handed the account book to Lady Jia.

Grandmother Jia looked at Lin Ruhai with an ambiguous expression.

There is a huge difference between the mentality of my daughter and that of my son-in-law. I was prepared for this.

Jia Min also looked nervously at what Lin Ruhai took out.

She had never seen this thing.

Lin Ruhai gave her a comforting look and said nothing.

Grandmother Jia opened the account book and casually flipped through a few pages. Her eyelids twitched violently, and her fingers trembled. She could hardly hold the account book, and closed it with a "snap".

Grandmother Jia controlled her mentality for a few times, and her tone became cold.

"Lin Ruhai, you investigated the Jia family very carefully!"

"You're thinking too much."

"Are you ready to break off completely with the Jia family?"

Lin Ruhai's face showed a conflicted look. Who would be willing to go this far?

The one who is in trouble at this point is his wife.

But it cannot be extended indefinitely.

If Yonglin hadn't been dragging his feet, he would have taken action against the Jia family long ago.

It is difficult to restrain the desire for extravagance and luxury.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

If the Jia family cannot undergo a transformation, they will eventually suffer the disaster of being confiscated as described in Daiyu's dream.

Seeing Lin Ruhai was indifferent, Jia Mu couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that this relationship is going to end.

"Jia Min, mother asks you again, will you come with me?"

"Ah..." Jia Min was still at a loss and confused.

What does it mean to go with mom?

"Mom! Why?"

"Husband, why?"

Jia Min turned her head to look at Lady Jia and Lin Ruhai respectively, and saw that the two sides were in a heated confrontation.

She just felt like she was about to fall.

Lin Ruhai stepped forward and supported Jia Min, "Madam, there is nothing for you to do now."

"You can go back and rest if you want."

"If you can't rest, just wait!"

There was no way Jia Min could rest, and she couldn't leave with Lady Jia at this time.

Lin Daiyu sighed, damn it, this is forcing Jia Min.

For someone like Jia Min, divorce or breaking away from her mother's family is a matter of life and death.

But she has to think it through and get through this hurdle on her own.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu walked to Jia Min and gently held her hand.

"Mom, I'll accompany you."

When Lady Jia saw Jia Min's weak look, she knew that she could not take her away today.

Grandmother Jia was heartbroken and said, "Jia Min, this is all your own decision."

"My family can't help you with anything."

"We won't eat your Lin family's food. We are not so poor as to beggars."

After saying this, he didn't want to pay any attention to the tears on Jia Min's face.

Grandmother Jia picked up her crutches, turned around and walked away. Even when Wang Xifeng reached out to support her, Grandmother Jia just shook her hand off and walked quickly forward.

But he held the account book tightly in his hand.

He closed his eyes and a turbid tear fell.

I am old, really old. These evil children started to make trouble before I could even be buried.

Jia She was a little confused, "Mom! What's going on?"

"What's the matter with leaving now?"

"You useless piece of shit, keep your mouth shut and talk when you get back." Grandmother Jia looked at her son hatefully.

What a great guy! He did so many good things behind my back.

Jia She felt as if he was stung by a wasp when he was looked at by his mother.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Jia's mother turned around helplessly and looked at Jia Min again. Jia Min's daughter and son were standing beside her, wiping her tears.

Lin Ruhai lowered his head and explained something.

Grandmother Jia felt a surge of bitterness in her heart.

Is there any medicine for regret in life?

If there is an afterlife, would you still agree to send Jia Yuanchun into the palace?

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Min with poison in her eyes.

Why did it fail again?

What's next?

Are we going to let the Jia family fail?

……

Along the way, everyone in the Jia family was in a nervous mood and walked a little unsteadily.

A group of people with frosty faces came back.

When the news reached Ning Mansion, people were confused again.

In Jia's mother's room, the door was tightly closed.

Grandmother Jia looked at her children and grandchildren kneeling on the ground, her tone was very sad.

"Don't you understand why I asked you to kneel?"

"Look at them all!"

"Starting from the eldest, let's take a look at what each of you has done."

After saying that, she threw the account book onto Jia She's face with a "bang".

Jia She stiffened his neck and showed an unconvinced look on his face, which turned red.

Jia She picked up the account book from the ground and opened it.

He stood up with a shout.

"Damn it, Lin Ruhai."
