Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Jiang Yunying had come to pay her respects to the two elders, not to collect money, and immediately began to decline.

Lin Ping was displeased. He snatched the land deed, stuffed it into his pocket, and turned his head back, saying, "It's rare for this old fellow to be so generous. I'll accept it on behalf of my wife!"

Seeing Lin Ping's arrogant demeanor, Jiang Yunying really wanted to teach him a lesson on behalf of Lin's mother, but she was afraid that Lin's mother would feel sorry for him, so she could only show him the loving side.

Lin Xiaomei stared at Jiang Yunying for a long time before hurriedly bowing and saying, "Greetings, sister-in-law!"

Jiang Yunying knew that Lin Ping had a younger sister, so she hurriedly searched her body to find a decent gift to give as a greeting, since Lin's mother had already given her the land deed.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, Jiang Yunying couldn't find anything valuable.

So, he wanted to do Lin Ping a favor and return the land deed, but Lin Ping stopped him.

"Take this and buy some candied hawthorns. This is a gift from your sister-in-law!" Lin Ping pulled out ten copper coins from his pocket and handed them to Lin Xiaomei with an air of superiority.

The girl's pupils dilated immediately, and she danced with joy, repeatedly thanking her, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

"..." Jiang Yunying was stunned. She really couldn't find a suitable word to describe this family. Fortunately, Lin Ping was a son-in-law. If she had married into the family, who knows what kind of situation she would have been forced into.

Lin Ping was a notorious spendthrift who spent money like water, while Lin Xiaomei would jump for joy at the sight of ten coins, which shows their respective status in the family.

Jiang Yunying didn't want to interfere in the Lin family's affairs, and hurriedly kowtowed to Lin Fugui, saying, "Daughter-in-law Yunying greets Father!"

Before meeting Jiang Yunying, Lin Fugui generally disliked this daughter-in-law. Now, after just one glance, he made up his mind that even if it meant going bankrupt, he would protect this marriage for his son.

Jiang Yunying's bow startled Lin Fugui, who was at a loss for what decent gift he could offer.

Jiang Yunying regretted it a little, as it made it seem like she wanted a red envelope, but out of politeness, she couldn't refuse to bow.

"This..." Lin Fugui was so anxious that he kept scratching his head and forgot to tell Jiang Yunying to get up.

Lin Ping was furious and stretched out his hand, saying, "Old man, hurry up and pay up!"

Lin Fugui also wanted to contribute money, but he didn't have any! Ever since Lin Ping squandered all his family's wealth, all that was left was this house. The family of three was practically starving, so they had no money left.

"How much...how much?" Lin Fugui stammered, knowing that Lin Ping would offer a price, which was his usual style.

"Not much, just one million taels!" Lin Ping shook his leg, striking a pose that looked like he was asking for a beating.

"One million taels?" Lin Fugui was so shocked that he stumbled. Luckily, he was leaning against the door frame, otherwise he would have definitely fallen to the ground.

This is an astronomical figure for the Lin family. Even at its peak, the Lin family had only 100,000 taels of silver. Now, Lin Ping has already sold off most of it, and with the land deeds already handed over, they can't even come up with 100 taels, let alone 1 million taels.

"What? Can't you produce it?" Lin Ping said coldly. "If you don't have one million taels, your son will be kicked out of the city lord's mansion and will never find such a beautiful wife again!"

"That won't do!" Lin Fugui slapped his thigh anxiously and said seriously, "Even if it costs me my old life, I will earn you a million taels!"

The current Lin Ping is no longer the spendthrift he once was. His original intention was not to ask Lin Fugui for one million taels of silver, but to have him manage Zhao Yinian's Qingfeng Tower. In order to save himself some trouble, he deliberately used this method.

Hearing Lin Fugui's words, Lin Ping felt guilty and suddenly felt like he was living off his parents, having become the kind of person he despised the most.

"You think you can make money?" Lin Ping said disdainfully. "I suppose you don't have any capital. Just take this 10,000 taels of silver and take over Qingfeng Tower, then gradually expand it."

Lin Fugui didn't want Lin Ping's money, but he knew that even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. If he could really acquire Qingfeng Tower, he might actually earn a million taels in his lifetime.

However, Lin Fugui knew the size of Qingfeng Tower and also knew that Zhao Yinian loved money more than anything. Even if he offered 50,000 taels of silver, he might not be able to buy it.

Of course, there was one thing Lin Fugui was unaware of.

Not long ago, Lin Ping caused a huge disturbance at Qingfeng Tower, even forcing Zhao Yinian to offend the prefect. It was already a stroke of luck that he was able to get out of prison, so how could he dare to let Qingfeng Tower continue to operate?

Even worse, the prefect directly ordered the Qingfeng Tower to be sealed off, and no one dared to risk public condemnation by taking on this mess.

Therefore, Qingfeng Tower is now a hot potato; no one would want it even if it were given away for free.

Lin Fugui had more than enough money to make the acquisition with 10,000 taels of silver, and he could even save money to hire cooks and waiters.

Although Lin Fugui was quite unsuccessful in educating his son, he was well-versed in business. Lin Ping didn't need to reveal the full details of his plan; he could stop short of revealing everything.

"Greetings, Uncle! Greetings, Aunt!" Jiang Yunyu bowed respectfully in return.

Lin Fugui wasn't stupid; he could tell the other person's identity from their clothes and appearance. He panicked again; he couldn't possibly lose his 10,000 taels of capital again.

"Old man, this is the heir of the city lord's mansion. Don't even think about getting him up without a silver tael as a red envelope!" Lin Ping said irritably, which was also a reminder to Lin Fugui.

Lin Fugui nodded knowingly, struggled to pull out a tael of silver from the sole of his shoe, and said with a smile, "Young Master, please rise quickly."

Jiang Yunyu's tears came out, but not from being held captive by the other party, but from... the stench.

You, Lin Fugui, are a wealthy merchant in Jiangcheng Prefecture. Why would you hide a tael of silver in the sole of your shoe? I just want to ask, doesn't it hurt your feet?

"Sister-in-law, come in quickly! Stay here tonight! Brother's bed is big enough for two people!" Lin Xiaomei said mischievously, linking arms with Jiang Yunying.

Lin Ping was quite satisfied with Lin Xiaomei's performance and even wanted to give her an extra ten coins, which was a great help!

A lone man and a lone woman in a room, and then we recite a couple of poems. I, Lin Ping, don’t believe you won’t feel anything!

"As long as one person can sleep here!" Jiang Yunying replied with a laugh, naturally agreeing to Lin Xiaomei's request.

Is it enough to sleep one person?

Lin Xiaomei kept muttering to herself, when suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but give Lin Ping a thumbs up, thinking that the two of them were inseparable while sleeping.

Lin Ping's heart skipped a beat; he knew he couldn't escape the fate of sleeping on the floor.

After entering the mansion, Lin Ping roughly told Lin Fugui about the situation of Qingfeng Tower and proposed several innovative business models.

For example, they could launch a VIP card program, offering greater discounts the more money customers top up, and even crafting the cards from pure gold to give customers a strong sense of superiority. In addition, they could make the upper-floor private rooms as luxurious as possible, perhaps even hiring a famous singer to perform, selling not just food, but also services!

Lin Fugui suddenly understood, and instead of being surprised by Lin Ping's tremendous progress, he burst into laughter, "As expected of my son, Lin Fugui, hahaha..."

The father and son had a rare pleasant conversation throughout the day, only occasionally overhearing Lin Ping scolding Lin Fugui.

Lin Xiaomei and her mother tried their best to get close to Jiang Yunying, while Li Mingxuan and the others were forced to clean the courtyard.

Such a leisurely day passed quickly, and before long it was night.
