But after saying that, he seemed to realize that he was being rather useless.

He chuckled awkwardly and said, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for my second sister and in-laws?"

He wasn't stupid; he could naturally tell that Lin Jiujiu, his sister-in-law, was the one in charge of the household.

Even her father-in-law and mother-in-law have to listen to her.

Lin Jiujiu laughed and said, "It's alright. Although my eldest sister is married, she is still our parents' child and our sister. Hua Ge'er and Yu Jie'er are her children, so they are naturally family as well. It is only right that we think about them."

Liang Xing seemed to sense something was wrong when he heard this, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

As long as he treats his wife and children well, he won't have any objections.

Instead, she assured him, "Second sister, don't worry. I will definitely work more and eat less in the future, and I will find a way to make up for the children's tuition."

Lin Jiujiu didn't react to his words, but her mother gave her a disapproving look.

Although they knew she was telling the truth, excluding Liang Xing like that would make anyone with a sharp mind hold a grudge against them.

This kid is honest and didn't think that much about it.

Lin Jiujiu gave her mother a reassuring smile.

She did it on purpose; she wanted to see what kind of person her brother-in-law was.

If he is true to himself, she wouldn't mind treating him as family.

If she's two-faced, it's better to see through her sooner rather than later for her older sister's sake.

If the eldest sister likes him, she will keep him and then give him a love charm so that he can only be truly devoted to her for the rest of his life.

If the eldest sister doesn't like it, she can just kick the person out.

However, it seems that this eldest sister-in-law is not bad at all.

As for whether money will corrupt him and change his nature in the future, we'll see.

Anyway, she's not a good person. She protects whoever treats her well, and there's nothing wrong with that.

With Lin Yun'er's matter settled and the Liang family's matter already in place, Lin Jiujiu didn't think this would be difficult. She then pulled Lin Yun'er aside, saying she would show her their room, and took her away.

Lin Jiujiu said she would take Lin Yun'er to see the room, and she really did take her to see the room.

Lin Xiaomei also came out to join in the fun.

They are all temporarily staying in the main courtyard, and Lin Yun'er and the others' rooms are naturally on the second floor.

Because Lin Jiujiu had planned to bring Lin Yun'er's family back to live with her from the beginning, her room was far from simple.

In fact, considering that Lin Yun'er and Liang Xing are a couple, their room is decorated even more exquisitely than those of Lin Xiaomei, Lin Luo, and Lin Yu.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin enjoyed lively gatherings, so their rooms were all on the second floor, leaving the main room for the two of them.

The three sons lived in the east wing, while the three daughters lived in the west wing. The eldest son and eldest daughter's rooms were located next to the main house, according to their age.

Lin Jiujiu was no exception, but there was nothing inconvenient about living like this.

She designed it all when she built the house, and even the side rooms were fully equipped, including bedrooms, washrooms, flower halls, and studies, making it a small suite.

It's more than enough for two people, or even a whole family.

The clean room is designed according to the style of a modern bathroom, and is divided into two parts: dry and wet areas.

Inside, she had a toilet specially made, and for easier flushing, she even installed a water tank on top.

She brought the water down from the mountain and used gravity to pressurize it, so she wasn't worried about insufficient water pressure.

This way, there won't be any unpleasant odors in the room from relieving oneself.

In the bedroom, besides a canopy bed, there was a set of double-door wardrobes, and by the window was a dressing table with several jewelry boxes on it, containing some simple silk flowers, hairpins, and cosmetics—not expensive, but complete.

But the most attractive feature is the mercury mirror on the dressing table.

That was made by Tantai Yueming at Lin Jiujiu's request. She knew the techniques for making glass and how to make mirrors.

The process of simply applying silver can easily lead to poisoning if not handled properly, so she never considered having her family do it.

Such high-end items are easily targeted, and without powerful backing, they are prone to attracting trouble.

So she sold them to Tantai Yueming.

However, she sold it privately, and no one except Tantai Yueming and Baili Chenyuan knew about it.

Tantai Yueming was generous and gave her 20,000 taels of silver directly. He then had someone come over to test the formula and sent her and the formula to the capital by fast horse.

As for how much he can earn from it, that's not something Lin Jiujiu should worry about.

All she wanted was for Tantai Yueming not to reveal her identity.

Looking at the room, Lin Yun'er felt both excited and at a loss.

She had never seen such a beautiful room before. It belonged to Lin Miao'er, who had switched her sister's marriage and was said to have married into the city.

Her wedding room wasn't this nice either.

What left Lin Yun'er at a loss was that she was already married and shouldn't be enjoying the blessings brought by her family.

After looking around the room, Lin Yun'er said to Lin Jiujiu.

"Jiujiu, I know how you feel. I don't deserve such a nice house. Let's just find a woodshed downstairs and live there as a family."

Lin Jiujiu's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.

Lin Xiaomei even said it outright.

"Big sister, how can you say that? You are also a daughter of this family. We live upstairs, and you and your husband live in the woodshed. What kind of situation is that?"

Lin Jiujiu could roughly guess what she was thinking, and patiently comforted her while holding her hand.

"Eldest sister, you are also our parents' child, our sister. Even if you get married, that will never change."

Don't always think that living at someone's house means you're taking advantage of them.

We are a family. We are so happy that you are with us, how could we have any other thoughts?

My parents don't know how, my younger sister and I don't know how, my older brother, second brother, and third brother don't know how either. You know what kind of person my sister-in-law is. Besides, we originally planned to have her bring Aunt Hu over to live with us. If you're so timid, how will my older brother face her when he brings his mother-in-law over?

As for whether my second and third brothers' future wives will have any objections, I can't guarantee it right now.

But if anyone dares to say anything in front of you, you can tell me.

"A tree grows up and branches out, children grow up and move out; it's not a big deal. At worst, they can live in their own yard, and we can just have less contact with them in the future."

Although she didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was clear: whoever had objections would be reassigned.

The room arranged for Lin Yun'er was right next to Lin's mother's. Lin Luo and Lin Yu were about to come and take a look when they heard their second sister's words and immediately shrank back.

Lin Luo, that little lackey, immediately pledged his loyalty.

"Second sister, I don't have to get married."

Lin Yun'er rolled her eyes at him with a smile, "If you say that, I'm even more afraid to stay at home."

Lin Luo panicked and immediately tugged at his second brother for help.
