Chapter 246: Self-perception as...
One thousand taels and five hundred taels are exactly twice as much.
Wu Haoran didn't know that he had offended Xiao Yining unintentionally, he just felt that someone was always looking at him. He looked around, but no one in the hall was looking at him.
Because there was a man from outside the room, Lin Yuzan asked someone to bring a screen across the middle, and move it away when Wanniang finished her breakfast and left with her daughter.
This screen also happens to block little Yining's sad sight.
Of course she didn't care about being treated differently by others, but this was a difference of 5 taels!
Woo woo woo, it took her nearly a year to save up 30 taels of silver.
She has no taste for food.
She couldn't sleep at night.
She was about to burst into tears.
"Sister Qing...eat well." Lin Yuzan looked at her unhappily.
Little Yining cast a sad look at her father again.
Lin Yuzan: ...
Another kid who also had no appetite was Lin Yinhu. From the moment he received the banknotes, he felt like he was dreaming and perhaps he fainted from hunger.
How could anyone take out one thousand taels and give it to a stranger without blinking an eye?
Wan Niang glanced at her aggrieved daughter, then looked at him helplessly, "Brother Hu is really hungry, you've already eaten five cold dumplings."
Each of these cold balls is as big as an adult's palm. How can a child eat so many?
Lin Yinhu woke up as if from a dream, his face suddenly turned red, he put down his chopsticks in a hurry, and said embarrassedly, "Aunt, I was thinking about something, so I ate too much."
Wan Niang nodded in understanding. She didn't expect that her husband's classmate would be so generous and was truly a good person.
"Uncle, can I send this one thousand taels back to my parents, and my grandparents? They work hard to earn money." Lin Yinhu spoke cautiously. He glanced at Lin Yuzan and felt embarrassed. He was eating and drinking at his cousin's house, but he was thinking about sending money home.
Lin Yuzan nodded indifferently, but he felt a little sorry for the money in his family, so he had to be more generous when giving gifts to the clan, otherwise he would seem cold and indifferent.
When Xiao Yining heard this, she suddenly felt her purse tighten, and she was afraid that she would not be able to keep the money.
As expected, Lin Yuzan stretched out his evil hand to his daughter and said with a hypocritical smile, "Qing Jie'er is also a filial child, right?"
Xiao Yining: ...
From then on, little Yining lost the largest sum of money since he was born.
All because of a filial child and a greedy father.
Now, she was really about to cry.
Wu Haoran glanced curiously at the little kid who was taken away. He was so happy before dinner, but now he was in tears and looked so pitiful.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your daughter..."
"Nothing, she just missed it too much." Lin Yuzan explained lightly.
Wu Haoran: ..., too milky?
Lin Yuzan said nothing more, but waited patiently for him to speak for the sake of the 1,500 taels of silver.
This person's arrival also disrupted his plan. He originally wanted to take his nephew to find Qingshan Jun.
However, this person seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming here. He strolled in the courtyard with Lin Yuzan and looked curiously at the side door of Chen Guogong for a long time.
After a while, Lin Yuzan began to get impatient, "Brother Wu, I have to take the child to the clinic later. If you have nothing to do, go back!"
Wu Haoran stopped awkwardly. "I was just curious about how Junior Brother Leng's uncle could have recognized the wrong door, so I wanted to see if the layout of the courtyard was the same."
Lin Yuzan crossed his arms and said unhappily, "Then Senior Brother Wu should go to Duke Chen's courtyard, not come to my house. Since you are not here for Senior Brother Kong, leave!"
Seeing this, Wu Haoran couldn't help but mutter, "How urgent."
Then he sighed, "I have taken care of Brother Kong's funeral, which also makes up for my unintentional injury to his hand. But after all, we were classmates. Brother Lin, Brother Wang and Brother Kong have such a good relationship. Can you come and see him off? I sent a message to my fellow brothers in the same courtyard. They either have something to do, or they said that Brother Leng has no brothers and needs to go to his house to help, so they can't spare the time."
"Buried on the same day as Lord Leng?" Lin Yuzan asked with a frown.
Wu Haoran nodded helplessly, "That day was an auspicious day for burial. Several families were burying their dead on that day, so they were all buried together."
"But my eldest uncle and I are also Madam Leng's relatives, so I'm afraid we have to go." Lin Yuzan said with difficulty.
Leng Qingnian was his father-in-law's brother-in-law, and this was an indelible fact. Although he was reluctant, he and Wang Cheng still had to send him off on the day of the burial.
Wu Haoran also suddenly remembered that Leng Shuyu once called himself Wang Cheng's cousin, but later became very secretive about this title.
"Well, I shouldn't have come." Wu Haoran said depressedly, "It turns out that this Junior Brother Leng is in the same boat with you guys. No wonder all the fellow brothers in our courtyard were coaxed away by him, humph."
Lin Yuzan glanced at him sideways. This man was also a wonderful person who could always see the essence.
Although he is a fool, it is still possible to get along with him. More importantly, he is also a stupid rich man.
"Sister Qing, come here." Lin Yuzan turned around and shouted.
Xiao Yining had been hiding not far away, secretly poking at the two bad men with her resentful eyes.
If her eyes could materialize, these two people would have been whipped countless times by now.
It was hard for Lin Yuzan not to notice this little look, and he looked at this little money-grubber helplessly.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Little Yining came to his side reluctantly.
"Dad and my eldest uncle will go to various academies to study with Scholar Jiang in a few days. Uncle Wu usually helps Dad a lot. If you have any inconvenience in the girls' school, you can ask him for help." Lin Yuzan picked up his daughter and advised.
"Oh, hey, hey, Lin Yuzan, what do you mean? What research, what help? Don't talk nonsense. Are you taking this opportunity to let your daughter rely on me?" Wu Haoran once again exposed his thoughts.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuzan and his daughter did not give him this opportunity. Little Yining showed a cute look, looking at him with big cute eyes, and called out in a baby voice, "Godfather..."
Lin Yuzan: ...
Wu Haoran's face instantly changed color, like a cooked shrimp head. He hurriedly took out a handful of banknotes from his sleeve and stuffed them into Xiao Yining's hand. He said angrily, "No matter what your purpose is, don't even think about getting involved with me. Back off, back off, back off, back off, back off..."
Lin Yuzan looked at this man speechlessly as if he was being chased by a demon. He shouted "go back" and ran away in panic.
Little Yining stared at the banknote in her hand, and was blinded by the amount on it. When she saw her father turned his eyes to her, she immediately held it tightly in her arms and said, "Qing Jieer got it with her own ability. Dad can't take it away."
She forgave this guy who favored boys over girls!
Lin Yuzan: ..., as long as you are happy.
Wu Haoran threw away a lot of banknotes and finally fled, and also put the Lin family on the blacklist that he would never enter again.
At this time, the only simple boy in the family ran over, holding a small jar in his hand, "Uncle, Uncle Wu is gone, I was thinking of giving him a jar of jujube wine brewed by my mother!"
Lin Yuzan looked at his nephew, and remembering that he had something to do, he said, "Your uncle will deliver the wine for you. Come with me to see the Master. He doesn't like to see people, but he is well-educated and doesn't want to be taught. Whether he will accept you depends on your luck."
Lin Yinhu was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed, "Uncle, rest assured, I will definitely ask the teacher to accept me. The grandfather of the big family said that anyone who sees me will like me. I am a son of God who can become the Protector of the Country."
Little Yining also raised her fist with determination. She was loved by everyone and would definitely make Wu Haoran accept her as his goddaughter. Silver, here I come...
Lin Yuzan: Haha, as long as you two are happy.
He is really a child, without any self-awareness at all.
