"Snapped."

A heavy slap sounded in the Yu family, and Yu's mother fell to the ground in tears, "Husband, I did this for Yuan'er!"

"For Yuan'er? How dare you, a vicious woman, instigate Yuan'er to say those nonsense to the daughter of the Lin family? You want our Yu family to never stand up again and be a lowly merchant forever." He grabbed his wife and dragged her to the window. "Look, Mr. Lin returned all the things. What does this mean? The two families will not have any contact in the future."

Mother Yu never thought that a joke she made to her son would be so serious. "The Lin family is just a scholar. There are many of them in Yanjing..."

"Mom, although Lin Yining's father is a scholar, he is a student of Yunfei Academy with a promising future. Lin Yining's grandmother is a newly appointed princess by the emperor, and her grandfather is a general. No matter what their status is, it is not something our family can have." Yu Ke cried. If she had known, she would not have taken her brother with her, causing such a big disaster. And her mother, she was so out of tune.

"It's just a childish remark, but Mr. Lin took it so seriously. He's really narrow-minded. Why don't you find someone else, husband? Isn't Ke'er studying in a girls' school?" said Yu's mother.

"Change someone?" Yu Fugui said with sarcasm, "Do you think that other people, with their high positions, would be interested in my little gifts? I tell you, even if those people accepted my filial piety, they would just treat me like a dog and abandon me when they should. What I want is that little favor, so that they will remember the kindness of rising to a higher position."

Mother Yu did not refute, but silently lowered her head and cried.

Xiao Yining moved his neck uncomfortably and counted his own small treasury.

Lin Yuzan looked down and said, "I didn't expect Sister Qing to be good at saving money. Here are ten or so taels of silver."

Little Yining immediately put away the money with his frizzy hair, "No matter how much money you have, you can't give it to Dad. This is Sister Qing's."

Tsk, what a little money-grubber.

"Daddy feels bad to return your sister Yu's things. Without those, sister Qing will have to save money." Lin Yuzan couldn't help but rub his daughter's little bun again. After not seeing her for a few days, her hair had become much thicker. Wan Niang must have taken good care of her.

Xiao Yining rolled her eyes inwardly, wondering how much money she could possibly spend.

She pouted and said, "Don't worry, Dad. I will still use the money I save to buy medicine for you. After all, you need to spend 72,000 taels, and Mom is still looking for money everywhere."

It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.

Lin Yuzan withdrew his hand and said calmly, "After a few days, Dad will have a good talk with Doctor Shangguan."

Seeing his father stop, Xiao Yining stretched his head over again and pushed him twice, "Dad, why don't you touch me anymore? Touch me, touch Qingjie's hair and put it on your head, then Dad will have hair."

In order to recover as soon as possible, Lin Yuzan did not wear the warm hat prepared by Wan Niang in the house. Now he only had a few strands of hair, so thin that even his daughter could count them.

Xiao Yining: I have even less hair than Qiu Qianren, hehehe.

Lin Yuzan endured it again and again, and finally the word "get out" came out from between his teeth.

Xiao Yining pulled his eyelids with his fingers, made a face, and ran away.

Lin Yuzan: ...Another day when I feel itchy.

"If you return the things of the Yu family, you won't have to worry about the Yu family giving them to others." Wang Cheng slowly turned a page and said, "Now my mother is a princess, my father is a general, and my family is getting richer than yours. I don't have to worry about my parents looking down on you for being useless and unable to give my sister a good life."

"Tsk... I thought you would be mad about the Yu family letting my mother-in-law buy shares, but you are so careless." Lin Yuzan sneered.

The two of them were very upset about what the Yu family did, not to mention what the Yu family kid said to Xiao Yining yesterday. The child didn't understand and was still very happy, but the adults were all pale.

"Master, uncle, Yu Fugui and his family are here to visit." At this time, Old Man Zheng's son Zheng Da came into the room and reported.

The two men sneered at the same time, making their already terrifying faces look like evil spirits in the night.

Zheng Da shuddered.

"Let them wait in the hall." Lin Yuzan said.

Little Yining hid behind the wall and watched his father and uncle walking towards the hall without covering their hats at all, and hurriedly followed them.

Qiu Yi stomped her feet and said, "Miss, we can't go!"

"I'll just go and see who Daddy is going to scare." Little Yining had already run away.

The hall was quite lively today. As soon as Xiao Yining arrived, she heard a deafening cry. Oh, wasn’t this the voice of Xiao Yuanzi who was going to marry her yesterday?

No way, he just said he wanted to marry her yesterday, and today he brought his parents here to propose marriage. Didn’t her father return all the things from the Yu family?

She sneaked in quietly and heard her father say in an unwavering tone, "You have the guts to want to marry my daughter."

Yu Ke wiped her tears and hugged her crying brother. She only heard yesterday that Yining's elder sister was not in good health, but she didn't expect that he would become like this.

When the two of them came in just now, the Yu family members were so scared that they stepped back one after another, and the two children were frightened to tears.

Yu Fugui had seen a lot of things, so he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Wang, it's all my fault that I didn't teach my son well. He brought his temper from home and said nonsense to your daughter. I punished him last night, so I brought him here today to make amends."

Lin Yuzan put down the cup and said indifferently, "Take these two crying children to the Madam."

Yu Fugui smiled awkwardly, which meant that the children from the two families were not allowed to interact with each other.

Little Yining breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yu Ke and her brother being taken away by Uncle Zheng's wife. Fortunately, her father didn't say he would go to her place, otherwise she would have to run back to entertain the guests, which would be so tiring.

Wang Cheng turned his head to look at the naughty little feet exposed beside the screen, and said coldly, "Qiu Yi, if you can't keep an eye on the young lady, I will let your master sell you out."

Xiao Yining: ...

She turned around and looked at Qiu Yi who had just stepped into the hall. Qiu Yi immediately rolled up his sleeves and carried her away.

Xiao Yining: My uncle is so mean.

Xiao Yining had no idea what the discussion between her family and the Yu family was like that day, but that night the Yu family sent double the amount of things over, and also presented countless silver bills and land deeds.

Lin Yuzan looked at these things and sneered, "He's smart."

Little Yining grabbed his father's leaky trouser leg and said nervously, "Dad, are you selling me out?"

Lin Yuzan bent down and picked up the plump kid with great effort. “These things can’t even be bought with a finger of Sister Qing’er.”

Xiao Yining looked at her little finger. If she could get so much by losing one finger, she would be happy. Who doesn't love money? Poor Sister Yu, your family has been cheated by my father.

On the way back, Yu Fugui was filled with a decadent air.

"Dad, they still won't forgive us?" Yu Ke asked worriedly. She didn't see Sister Yining today, and even Madam Lin didn't look at them as enthusiastically as before.

"Ke'er, half of Dad's family fortune is gone. From now on, remember that only when Lin Yining is well, our family will be well."

Yu Ke nodded, not quite understanding.

"Her father and uncle are not ordinary people." Yu Fugui sighed.
