Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister
Chapter 37 Loyalty and Righteousness
The visitor was Madam Wu, the eldest aunt of the Lin family.
Lin Dahai and Uncle Lin are grandsons of the same grandfather. Although they are not brothers, they are still considered close relatives.
Madam Li hurriedly greeted everyone, "Sister-in-law, you're here. Please sit down and eat."
Mrs. Wu came in and glanced at the dishes on the table. "No need for food, I'm here to collect money."
Lin Li pulled the person aside and spoke softly, her tone somewhat troubled, "Sister-in-law, things are really tough at home these days. I'll send you the two taels of silver as soon as the crops are harvested next month."
In order to pay for Lin Dahai's medical treatment, Madam Li humbly begged people to lend her money.
Naturally, they also owe their eldest uncle's family.
I borrowed the money from Uncle Lin, and we agreed that I would pay it back after the harvest.
Less than a month later, Ms. Wu came to ask for it back.
With a displeased expression, Wu turned to look at Lin Dahai and said, "Don't tell me you don't have money. Your family is serving meat and white rice, but my family can't afford these things."
Lin Dahai looked embarrassed and was about to explain.
Lin Shuyun asked, "How much money does your family owe you?"
"Two taels of silver."
Ms. Wu's tone was very harsh, "I'm not leaving today until I get the money. Don't give me that nonsense about not having money; my family needs it urgently too."
Lin Shuyun took out two taels of silver from her pocket and placed them on the table.
"Auntie, don't be angry. I didn't say I wouldn't pay it back. I'll pay it back right away. Please show me the IOU."
Upon seeing that there was money, Wu immediately took out the IOU and handed it to Lin Shuyun.
After looking at it, Lin Shuyun handed the silver to Wu Shi and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Uncle and Aunt, for helping my family when we were in trouble."
"This this……"
Wu, who had been looking sharp and mean, suddenly felt embarrassed.
He stammered, "It's not that I'm being unreasonable. I was originally waiting until after the harvest to ask for it back, but your brother Shanzi is getting engaged this month, and the bride's family is asking for a lot of dowry. They said they won't wait until the deadline, so I have no choice..."
The girl was beautiful, and Shanzi took a liking to her at first sight. She was in a hurry to raise the betrothal gifts, which is why she came to Lin Dahai's house with a dark face to ask for money.
Lin Shuyun smiled and said, "I know that my aunt didn't mean it. The fact that she lent my father the money for medical treatment shows that my uncle and aunt are kind-hearted people."
Everyone likes to hear nice words, and Mrs. Wu's face was full of smiles.
At this moment, he praised Li Shi: "Look, raising a daughter is still the most caring. Sons are all troublemakers. I used to think that Dahai had sent Yunniang to a fire pit, but now it seems that Yunniang married well. She paid back the two taels of silver just like that. Your family doesn't have to worry about the money you owe anymore!"
Given the state of the Lin family, they certainly didn't give Lin Shuyun a dowry. Lin Shuyun's money must have come from her husband.
She's only been married for a short time and she already has two taels of silver. She never goes back to her parents' home empty-handed. Isn't that like falling into a lucky nest?
"Who else does the family owe money to?" Lin Shuyun asked Madam Li.
Li kept her head down and remained silent.
Lin Dahai's face darkened, and he said, "This is a family matter. You're a married daughter now, so you don't need to worry about these things. I'll pay it off."
Lin Shuyun then looked at Lin Hongzhi and Lin Hongwen, and the two of them immediately lowered their heads.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lin Shuyun knew that he owed a lot.
He took an empty bowl from the table, filled it with a lot of meat and vegetables, and handed it to Ms. Wu, who was about to leave.
“Take this bowl back for Hu Zi to eat. Please ask your aunt to pass on a message to the villagers and tell them to come to our house with the IOU to collect the money.”
Ms. Wu quickly declined, saying, "Oh dear, I can't accept this. You all eat, and I'll let you all know right away."
Lin Shuyun took Wu's hand and said, "Auntie, you've watched me grow up, so please don't be so distant with me. I like Tiger too."
"Then thank you, Yunniang."
Ms. Wu then accepted the bowl with a touch of embarrassment and happily went out with it.
"you……"
As soon as the person left, Lin Dahai would start to speak.
Lin Shuyun cut him off before Lin Dahai could finish speaking.
"Father, please don't scold me, unless you don't want to acknowledge me as your daughter anymore and want to kick me out of the house."
What could Lin Dahai say? He covered his face and couldn't utter a single word.
Old Xu, who had already started eating, patted Lin Dahai on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't be sad. Your daughter is a filial daughter. Many people would kill for such a thing. Why are you crying?"
Lin Dahai removed his hand, "I didn't cry, I didn't, I..."
"Dad, hurry up and eat." Lin Shuyun put some food on Lin Dahai's plate.
Lin Dahai ate with his head down, without saying a word.
"Lin Dahai, we're here to collect the money! Wu just said she could pay us back today and told us to bring the IOU. Is that true?"
We had just finished eating and hadn't even cleared the dishes when seven or eight villagers came to the door.
"It's true. Please take out the IOUs, uncles and aunts, and I will repay them one by one."
After Lin Shuyun finished speaking, she directed Lin Hongwen to pour tea.
Upon seeing this, Lin Hongwen scurried into the house and brought out several wooden cups to greet the guests.
The cups were all made by Lin Hongzhi from bamboo tubes, and they were even carved with flowers and plants on them.
Then Lin Shuyun repaid the money according to the amount on each IOU, thanking each person she repaid.
These people lent a helping hand when the Lin family was in trouble; they should be thanked.
After all seven or eight people had received their money, the way they looked at Lin Dahai and Madam Li changed.
"Oh my, your son-in-law is so kind and generous, he paid back the money so readily. You two are still very fortunate!"
Everyone had the same thought: Where did the Lin family get the money?
The money that was returned must have come from Jiang Changtian.
Such a kind and loyal son-in-law is truly rare.
They surrounded Jiang Changtian, who was wearing a mask, and bombarded him with questions.
After much difficulty, Madam Li managed to see the group off and then closed the courtyard gate.
When Lin Shuyun returned and was about to clear the dishes, she quickly stopped her, saying, "Yunniang, don't bother, sit down for a while."
Then he poured hot tea for Lin Shuyun and Jiang Changtian again.
The tea leaves at home were picked from the tea trees that Mrs. Li grew in the backyard. They weren't particularly good, but they were very fragrant.
Lin Dahai felt extremely embarrassed and struggled to speak to Jiang Changtian.
"Son-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back later."
Jiang Changtian hurriedly picked up his cane and stood up. "Father-in-law, we are family. You're being too formal. Besides, that money belongs to Yun... Yun herself."
"Even I am supported by her and live off her, father-in-law, please don't embarrass me anymore."
As Jiang Changtian finished speaking, his ears visibly turned red.
Lin Shuyun, who was standing to the side, raised an eyebrow.
Yunyun?
This was the second time she had heard this title; it sounded quite nice.
"Okay, okay, okay." Lin Dahai said "okay" several times in a row, feeling warm inside.
Turning to Lin Shuyun with a serious expression, he said, "Even if you earned the money by digging up medicinal herbs and selling them, you should still discuss things with your son-in-law. Don't make decisions on your own next time. Once you're married, you should put your husband first in everything..."
Lin Shuyun let these words go in one ear and out the other, completely ignoring them.
Seeing that Lin Shuyun didn't like what she was hearing, Madam Li came over and interrupted Lin Dahai.
"Alright, that's enough. It's getting late. I've already made up the kang (heated brick bed). Yunniang has been busy all day. Let the young couple lie down and rest."
