Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Mother, I think you are having a hard time supporting yourself. The whole family relies on you to barely maintain the reputation of the Duke's Mansion."

"With you here, Big Brother and Second Brother, we can be free and carefree."

"Since the old method doesn't work, why not try a new one?"

"Mom! Please divide the property for them!" Jia Min expressed her thoughts with great difficulty.

When Lady Jia heard this, her eyes lit up, but then became dull again.

"You think too simply. Look at which duke's mansion has split up."

"Or which company can share the profits."

"Even a bastard is firmly clinging to the title."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't even be considered an ordinary wealthy family in the capital."

"The family has been divided. Wherever I am is equivalent to where the Duke's Mansion is."

"Who should I follow? Your eldest brother, your second brother, or Brother Zhen from the Ning Mansion."

"What about the others?"

"This method is simply not feasible. You don't have to worry about it. I have my own ideas."

"I asked you to come in because I have found a way to pay the interest on that money."

"You don't have to be embarrassed."

Grandmother Jia ruthlessly interrupted Jia Min's thoughts.

Deep down, she found it hard to accept that she and Jia She were her eldest son.

Thinking that if the family was divided, she would have to follow the eldest son, she felt that she might die faster.

You will be pissed off soon.

But after I die, these granddaughters and grandsons will not have grown up yet, and the quality of their future marriages will be downgraded several levels.

It's not good to always owe money and cause chaos at home.

Grandmother Jia has already made up her mind. If all else fails, she can use the money stored by the Zhen family!

Let’s just live one day at a time!

When Jia Min heard her mother calling her in about this, she felt very embarrassed.

But the money was pawned by Yonglin and she had no say in it.

"Mother, I'm sorry to bother you."

"But I still think you can be like the common people in the market and give them the opportunity to show respect in turn, or you can follow whoever you want."

"Just think about your own health. As long as you are here, Rongguo Mansion is here."

"No matter which son you follow, they will all provide for you and respect you."

After Jia Min finished speaking, Jia's mother thought about this possibility.

"You don't have to say anything. I'm not going anywhere in Rongqing Hall."

"I'd rather die here."

Seeing that Lady Jia was so determined, Jia Min was at a loss for words.

"Wait a moment, the relatives have left, you should leave too, or your eldest brother will have trouble with you."

Grandmother Jia felt a headache when she thought about Jia She's incident.

He hasn't been seen for the past two days, and I don't know where he has gone or what bad things he has done.

"Okay, you don't have to watch over me anymore, go out! Call your sister-in-law and Yuanyang in!"

Grandmother Jia said to Jia Min,

"Mom! Let me serve you here for a few days!"

"I can't trouble you all the time, sister-in-law. My mother is sick, and every daughter has to be by her side to take care of her for a few days."

Grandmother Jia sighed and said helplessly, "I have no shortage of servants here. Your sister-in-law had a quarrel with your brother, and she didn't dare to go back."

“So I stayed here.”

When Jia Min heard this, she was shocked. What happened to her sister-in-law, Mrs. Xing?

How dare you quarrel with elder brother?

"Mom! Is my sister-in-law okay?"

Grandmother Jia said angrily, "What can she do? She thought she had no temper, but she was so angry that she actually dared to take action."

"If she had this ability earlier, the eldest brother wouldn't have become more and more outrageous."

Jia Min was speechless. As a mother, she couldn't control her son and expected her daughter-in-law to do it.

My eldest brother was in such a bad state that even my first wife couldn't control him and he passed away early. How could Mrs. Xing, as a second wife, control him?

On the contrary, it got worse.

"In that case, I will go out and call my sister-in-law and Yuanyang in." Jia Min had no choice but to say goodbye to her mother and leave.

But the worry in my heart became even stronger.

If the mother can no longer protect her daughter-in-law, can she still stay in this family?

Alas! If someone in the family must have died, Jia Min now felt that it should be her eldest brother.

What a sin! What a sin!

Jia Min felt guilty for having such thoughts.

So much so that when she called her sister-in-law in, she actually felt very guilty looking at her.

He bowed to Madam Xing and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

Mrs. Xing looked a little haggard these two days. She had never thought that there was anyone in the Jia family who could respect her.

Treat her as a human being, not just a joke.

A second wife has no family background and no children.

He makes a living by currying favor with the master.

I don't know what got me wrong a few days ago, but I had the guts to resort to violence.

Not to mention thinking about it afterwards, even now my hands and feet are still shaking.

Mrs. Xing recalled the feeling countless times, wondering where that anger came from.

Relief, addictive.

If I were to ask if I was scared or not, of course I was a little scared.

If I could go back to that time now, would I do the same thing? Would I continue to be a grandson or fight hard?

She still didn't know, but if she had the ability to beat Jia She, she would definitely beat him several times a day.

Dalang, it’s time to take medicine.

What a great word, just let him be a wimp every day.

Mrs. Xing sometimes fell into her own fantasies.

When will I be able to become truly powerful?

Just like Jia Min, Mrs. Wang, Concubine Nan'an... so many successful people, why can't I be added as one?

So Jia Min's salute made her feel flattered.

Who is Jia Min? She is the person that Grandmother Jia holds in her heart.

He was a person that even the high and mighty Mrs. Wang envied.

Mrs. Xing didn't even have time to hide the crazy light in her eyes, and she hurriedly returned the gift.

"You are so polite, aunt. This is what I should do. I just hope my mother can live a long life."

I added in my mind, I hope your elder brother dies soon and is reborn so that I can become a widow.

My life now is even worse than that of the widow Li Wan.

When Jia Min saw Mrs. Xing's gleaming eyes, she took a step back.

Is this sister-in-law getting more energetic?

Jia Min smiled and nodded to Mrs. Xing and left.

This home is a little different!

……

After the ladies and young ladies had seen the patients, they happened to find the lost imperial gifts in the mansion, which was considered a happy event, so they were invited to dinner.

After the meal, everyone said goodbye one after another, leaving only the close relatives of the Shi family, Shi Xiangyun, Fang Zhengya, behind.

Jia Min and Lin Daiyu also had to stay for a few days. Although Grandmother Jia asked her to go back, as daughters, even if she didn't have to be served, she still had to stay for the basic visit.

I stayed behind voluntarily to help Madam Wang and Madam Xing see off all the relatives and friends.

At the gate of Rongguo Mansion, everyone said goodbye to each other.

It was winter, and everyone wrapped themselves in thick hoods and cloaks and got into the sedan chair and left early.

So much so that no one noticed that a servant hurriedly ran into the mansion.

"Quick, report to the old lady that the master has been beaten."

The servant's voice sounded particularly urgent in the cold wind.
