The Master Goes Down the Mountain: I Don't Want to be a Son-In-Law/
Chapter 5 Mr. Lin's Anger
Lin Shangyi, the old man of the Lin family, has been a little restless recently. He has a bad appetite and can't sleep well..
He has always lived a regular life. In his early years, he learned a little internal martial arts. He has been practicing Taijiquan and Baduanjin all year round. Although he is over eighty, he has always been in good health. His private doctor said that his heart is healthier than ordinary young people..
But I don't know what happened. I obviously feel weak during this period of time. I have no strength after moving a little..
He thought his time was coming, so he planned to make good arrangements for his future while he still had a breath..
The most important of these is the marriage of my granddaughter..
'That kid from the Li family has been gone for so many years. I wonder how he's doing?'
Every evening, Lin Shangyi was used to going out for a walk. Today, he couldn't walk any further..
"Master, let's go back..
"He said,'I'm not going to tell you.'.
There are several stewards in Lin Mansion. Lin Chanming is the chief steward, but he doesn't care about specific affairs. He is only responsible for Lin Shangyi's daily life and food..
With Lin Chanming by his side, Lin Shangyi could rest assured and everyone in the Lin Mansion could rest assured..
"Cicada Ming, you've been with me for more than ten years, right?.
”
Lin Chanming was stunned. He did not know why Lin Shangyi suddenly mentioned this."Yes, it has been sixteen years.".
”
"Sixteen years, you're old too..
The old man said,"No, no, no."
"What happened to Old Master?"
"It's been hard for you to follow me for so many years. Have you ever thought of starting your own business?"
Lin Chanming shook his head and said," Master has treated me well. Chanming is willing to follow me around. There is no second thoughts!"
"Haha, you think too much..
"I'm old enough to be gone sooner or later," Lin Shangyi laughed heartily."I'm gone, and you still follow my ass.".
”
"Master…"
Lin Shangyi waved his hand to stop Lin Chanming from continuing." You and I are not outsiders, so let's not talk about those clichés.".
People die, and there are taboos..
A few years ago I bought an island in the East China Sea. It should be almost developed.
I know you don't want to associate with laymen, so how about going to the East Sea and becoming a Peach Blossom Island Lord?"
Lin Chanming quickly said,"Thank you, Lord.".
”
"Don't thank me in a hurry..
Lin Shangyi said,"I also want to ask you a favor.".
”
"Yes, sir..
”
"The Lin family disaster more than twenty years ago still haunts me when I think about it..
Now the Lin family seems to be thriving, but there are many internal and external troubles..
Once I'm dead, I'm afraid it's going to explode..
I want you to help me. After I die, for three years, you must protect the safety of my Lin family descendants..
”
"Don't worry, Master. This is what I should have done..
”
" There's one more thing. There's a man named Li Muchen…" Lin Shangyi paused, turned around and said," Let's go. I'll tell you more about this matter when we go back.".
”
The two of them walked back. When they reached the entrance of the villa, the security guard saw the old man return. He saluted and bowed." The old man returned so early today?"
Lin Shangyi always treated his subordinates with ease and smiled and said,"Old, I can't walk anymore.".
”
The security guard said,"Master Lin treats us servants and poor relatives from the countryside so well. He is a very good person. My mother told me when I was young that good people can live a long life.".
”
Lin Shangyi laughed out loud,"There is no such thing as longevity. No matter how loud your flattery is, it will not change the fate of this old horse.".
”
Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to the security guard." What poor relatives did you just say?"
The security guard said,"Don't we often have poor people coming to our place to visit relatives? You also told us to be polite to them. Have you forgotten that there is still a little Taoist priest here today?".
”
Lin Shangyi was very happy. He patted the security guard's shoulder." You did the right thing. Poor people can't be short-sighted. Rich people can't forget their roots.".
Do good deeds, and your descendants will be rich in three generations..
”
The security guard smiled innocently: "Big rich can not dare to think, small rich on the line, hehe.
”
Lin Shangyi was just about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He was stunned for a moment and turned around to ask," You just said Little Taoist. What Little Taoist?"
The security guard said,"Today, a young man dressed like a Taoist priest came to you by name. He said he was your relative. I think his name is Li Chen.".
”
" What did you say his name was?" Lin Shangyi stopped smiling and asked sternly..
The security guard did not know why Lin Shangyi was suddenly unhappy. He was shocked." His name is Li…Mu…Cheng. Yes, Li Mucheng. He was received by Butler Luo..
”
"Where is he?"
"Gone.
”
Lin Shangyi was furious and shouted,"Call Luo Mingsha to me!"
The security guard's heart thumped. Old Master Lin was usually kind and amiable, but once he started to show his might, no one was not afraid..
Could it be that this Li guy was a liar?
:.
Sigh, it seems that I'm going to be unlucky if I anger the old man. I've also implicated Butler Luo..
……
Lin Qiusheng didn't know what had happened at home. The old man called him home anxiously..
Recently, business has been in constant trouble, and he really doesn't care about his family at all..
When he returned to the old man's residence, his wife Yan Huimin, son Lin Yun, cousin Lin Laifeng, and nephew Lin Shaoheng had already arrived. Other than his daughter Lin Manqing, who was studying in Qiantang University, and his nephew Lin Shaoping, who was studying abroad, all the important figures of the Lin family had arrived..
Lin Qiusheng felt that the atmosphere wasn't right. After he entered, no one greeted him. Even his wife didn't say anything. Everyone was silent..
The old man sitting on the sofa seemed calm, but there was anger on his face. He must have just lost his temper..
Could it be that the old man knew about the recent setbacks in his business?
" Dad, what happened?" Lin Qiusheng asked nervously..
" Then you have to ask your wife." The old man suddenly became angry and his voice was like thunder." Ask her what she did!"
Mrs. Lin shivered in fear, lowered her head and sobbed.
Lin Qiusheng did not understand why his father was so angry, so he had to go over and ask his wife..
As she cried, Mrs. Lin recounted what had happened during the day, concealing some details..
"I think, give him two million, also not bad for him ah, he and our Manqing never met, so come to the door, Manqing certainly can not accept.
Besides, how can the daughter of our Lin family marry a poor kid from the mountains? If word gets out…"
Lin Qiusheng understood. Of course, he knew that his daughter had been engaged since childhood, but he never took it to heart. He thought it was a joke..
I didn't expect that after so many years, people would really come to my door..
"You said you were too. Why didn't you tell Dad before you made your own decision?.
”
"Dad hasn't been feeling well recently. I think I shouldn't trouble Dad for such a small matter..
Besides, the engagement was made by Dad back then. Dad is a person who cares about face. There are some things that we should be children to share Dad's worries..
”
What Mrs. Lin said was perfectly reasonable, and the way she sobbed drew sympathy from everyone present.
Lin Qiusheng also felt that his wife had done the right thing. His father was a little old and confused..
However, he did not dare to contradict his father. He looked at his cousin Lin Laifeng as if he was asking for help..
Lin Laifeng was his uncle's son. Because his uncle died early, the old man felt guilty, so sometimes he spoke better than Lin Qiusheng in front of the old man..
Lin Laifeng coughed lightly.
"Yes, uncle, Huimin is right. Let's not talk about whether this family is wrong or not. Just say that the two of them have never met. How can Manqing accept it? It's not like you don't know Manqing's temper..
”
Lin Qiusheng looked at his cousin gratefully. He felt that it was almost time for him to speak up for him. He took a step forward and said," Dad…"
But just as he opened his mouth, Lin Shangyi suddenly stood up, grabbed the teapot on the table and smashed it hard..
With a crisp crack, the purple clay pot broke into pieces..
everyone was stunned.
This purple clay pot was made by a famous artist and was expensive. It was also the old man's favorite thing. Even the purple clay pot was broken. It could be seen how angry the old man was..
No one's talking now..
" Poor kid?" Lin Shangyi sneered." So what if you're poor? Open the genealogy and dig up three generations. Who hasn't been poor? Haven't your Old Yan family been poor before?"
" I, Lin Shangyi, was also poor back then! When I was in trouble, I didn't even have enough to eat. If we were all like you, how could I marry your mother?"
"Master, don't be angry. There's no need to be angry..
"The forest behind the forest is silent..
" It's not that I'm angry, it's just that these unworthy people are too disappointing!" Lin Shangyi pointed at the people in the living room with a trembling hand." I don't have much time left. If I leave, who can take over such a big family business? If you chase Li Muchen away, you will regret it!"
" Dad…" Lin Qiusheng didn't understand the relationship between whether or not he could take over the family business and this Li Muchen. Was the old man confused? However, he didn't dare to say that. He only asked," What do you want us to do to calm you down?"
" Find him! Go find him! Mobilize everyone. If you don't find him," Old Master Lin pointed at Lin Qiusheng." Stop being the head of this family. Also, tell your wife to scram back to Mei City..
”
This last sentence almost made Yan Huimin limp on the ground.
