Lin Lin had heard of Shen's mother. She was partial to her eldest son and always bullied Lin Ting's parents-in-law.

Before the family split up, she often didn't give her sister food. Now, contrary to her usual behavior, she came to this place to find her. I'm afraid she knew that the owner of Chayulou was her and came to ask for money.

Lin Lin was thankful that they didn't know yet that Lin Ting controlled half of the Tea House, otherwise her sister would be disturbed again.

"Take her to the backyard. I'll meet her later."

Shen's mother was taken to a remote place in the backyard. She arrived before dawn and waited for Lin Lin for an hour, but she still didn't show up.

When Lin Lin was about to go see her, someone made her a pot of tea with tea leaves and served her a small plate of crooked pastries.

Seeing these things, Shen's mother couldn't wait to eat them. The pastry didn't look very good, but it tasted definitely the best thing she had ever eaten in her life.

After finishing one, she was about to put the rest in her mouth when she thought of Shen Jizu again, so she hid the cake in her hand in the lapel of her shirt.

"Isn't this Wanyi's great-grandmother? Grandma Shen, how come you have time to come to me?"

Lin Lin greeted me with a smile on her face and walked with a breeze. One could tell at a glance that she was a very busy person.

"I'm sorry, Grandma Shen. I didn't know you were coming, so I'm late. But when I woke up this morning, I heard a magpie calling outside the house. I knew something good was going to happen today, and that's why I met Grandma Shen today."

Shen's mother was not familiar with Lin Lin. She originally just wanted to ask Lin Lin to help their family, but Lin Lin's enthusiasm scared her.

"Lin Lin, now that you have such a big tea house, money must be flowing in like water, non-stop.

I see you sold a lot of cakes and tea this morning, didn't you?"

Lin Lin was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, with not many jewelries on her, which only complemented her appearance perfectly.

"No, no, Grandma Shen, you only know that the Tea House looks bright and beautiful on the surface, but there are also unknown hardships behind it."

Lin Lin stopped laughing, frowned, and sighed.

"Hey... My teahouse has just opened. I need to buy some raw materials to make tea and cakes every day. I don't know how much money it costs.

Grandma Shen, you can see that I have so many workers here, and it’s a headache to pay them at the end of the month.”

"How is that possible? Lin Lin, are you kidding me? I think you can earn a hundred or eighty taels every day."

Shen Rou told Shen's mother these words in person, and she believed them without a doubt. She would never believe Lin Lin when she said she had no money.

If she didn't have money, Shen Dali's family would not be able to build a house, unless Lin Ting sucked her dry.

Lin Lin was even more certain of her purpose when she heard Shen's mother's anxious tone.

"It would be great if there really were so many. Unfortunately, it's difficult for women to do anything in this world, and it's even more difficult for me to manage this teahouse. It's barely enough for me to make a living."

Mother Shen didn't believe it: "How is this possible?"

Lin Lin: "How is it impossible? Others say that I have made money, but I have more money than what I just mentioned.

I still have to pay taxes, but that's not a big deal. If someone causes trouble in the teahouse, what can I, a woman, do?

So, I paid a lot of money in the black area, and of course, I also paid money to the government.

If anyone dares to cause any disturbance here, it's hard to say whether she will be arrested by the government or someone else."

What Lin Lin meant was that she used her money to support a bunch of vicious people to protect her, as well as the government.

If she dares to throw a tantrum here, she will die a miserable death.

"Hehehe...it's really not easy..."

Mother Shen's face turned extremely ugly. She wanted to smile but couldn't, as if her muscles had no strength.

"It's not easy. I didn't get the silver, and I still owe a lot of silver to the tea merchants. Now I can't sleep all night.

Fortunately, I met you, Grandma Shen, today. You are the grandmother of my sister's husband. So we are relatives.

I also heard that the ancestors of the Shen family were high-ranking officials, and the family was well-educated and had countless fertile fields.

Now I am in trouble, please help me, Grandma Shen, just lend me one hundred taels of silver, and I will pay you back when I get through this difficult time."

Upon hearing this, Shen's mother stood up suddenly, her eyes widening: "One hundred taels? Even if you grind me into ashes, I still don't have it."

Life is like a play, it depends on acting.

"Grandma Shen, if one hundred taels doesn't work, then eighty taels will do. Your family has so much land, selling a dozen or twenty acres will be enough. When I make money, I will definitely pay you back with interest."

The Shen family’s fields have almost been sold. Where can they get so much fields to sell? Even if they did, she would not lend it to Lin Lin.

They are all distant relatives who are not related to her at all. Who would want to lend her money?

"I don't have the silver. You need the silver. I won't sell your own land or your husband Li's."

Shen's mother didn't know about Lin Lin's divorce. After she said this, she realized that there was no sign of the Li family here.

"Alas... the Li family has sold everything they can, whether it's fields, land, or hills, they've all been sold, and even their house has been lost.

Li Ergou forced me to divorce him, and now he's run away with my mother-in-law, and I can't find them. So, now only Grandma Shen can help me, you must help me."

Mother Shen's facial muscles twitched. She had gotten up early in the morning to ask her for money, but now, Lin Lin came to borrow money from her.

Hold back!

Mother Shen must hold back and not lose her temper at Lin Lin. What if she gets unhappy and asks those thugs to beat her to death?

"Oh, Lin Lin, I have difficulties too. I see you are quite busy, so I won't bother you anymore. I'm going home to collect manure."

After Shen's mother finished speaking, when she was about to turn around and leave, she stretched out her hands covered with black spots and took away all the remaining pastries on the table.

Shen's mother, a little old lady, ran away quickly, and Lin Lin turned and cried out in pain at her back.

"Grandma Shen, if you don't lend me the money, we won't be relatives anymore, and I won't recognize you anymore."

Mother Shen ran out of the Tea House as if she was escaping for her life, but Lin Lin's face became colder and colder.

"Huh! He's such a person, and he bullied my sister for so many years."

Lin Lin walked to the cabinet in the hall and gave Xiaofu instructions.

"Xiaofu, if you meet this old lady next time, just kick her out."

"it is good!"

Xiaofu remembered it.

After Shen's mother left the Chayu Building, she kept cursing.

"What a shitty relative! He pretends to be a nouveau riche, but he's actually a poor bastard. No wonder he almost killed Shen Rou for thirty coins. Ugh..."
