Chapter 676 After my husband passed the imperial examination, I became his second wife (4)

The Lin family did not want to marry into the Sun family, but unfortunately the Sun family took a fancy to the Lin family. To be precise, it was Mrs. Sun who took a fancy to Lin Shichu.

The original owner had a gentle personality and she didn't even speak loudly. Madam Sun felt that she was soft-tempered and easy to control, and she was the only daughter of the Lin family. If she married her, all the property of the Lin family would definitely belong to her and her husband. This was a great temptation, so the greedy Madam Sun took a fancy to Lin Shichu.

This is because Madam Sun doesn't know that Lin Shichu has a new soul, so she thinks so. What's so wrong about being weak and easy to control? That was all in the past. The current Lin Shichu has nothing to do with weakness. If anyone dares to trample on her, she will twist the person's head off and kick it.

"Master, when you discuss business with Master Lin next time, bring Ying'er with you. Let him behave well in front of Master Lin. It would be best if he could visit the Lin family more often and talk about their childhood friendship with Miss Lin." Mrs. Sun had many calculations in her mind, but she spoke very directly to her husband.

When Master Sun heard her words, how could he not know that she had set her eyes on Miss Lin as her daughter-in-law? But he did not want his son to marry the daughter of a rich man. He felt that his son was talented in studying and could pursue a career in politics in the future. Of course, he wanted to marry someone who would help him in his career. At the very least, she had to be the daughter of his teacher or the daughter of a county magistrate. It would be even better if she passed the imperial examination and was chosen as a son-in-law by a high-ranking official. However, Lin Shichu was just the daughter of a rich man, so it was not worthwhile to marry her.

Therefore, Master Sun frowned and said, "Don't match us up randomly. You should think carefully about your son's marriage. The Lin family is just a little rich, but our son is very talented. He will definitely have a bright future and rise to prominence. How can the daughter of the Lin family be worthy of our son? Don't be so short-sighted and lose the big picture for the small!"

When Madam Sun heard this, she immediately believed her husband's words, so even though she was reluctant to give up the Lin family's wealth, she had to grit her teeth and give it up. Holding back the pain in her heart, Madam Sun quickly asked her husband: "Then our son's marriage cannot be decided lightly, we have to look at it carefully."

Lin Shichu had no idea that after being coveted by others, she was soon despised. If she knew, she would definitely be in tears and laughter. She looked down on the Sun family at all. Where did the Sun family get their sense of superiority to feel that they were not worthy of their son?

If Sun Ying was really gifted in studying, how come he hadn't passed the exam to become a scholar at the age of nearly 20? Although Fang Yu'an was a bit scheming and had bad intentions, he had actually passed the exam to become a scholar. Sun Ying couldn't even compare to Fang Yu'an, so where did his parents get the confidence that he would pass the exam?

It was ridiculous that the whole family thought highly of themselves and were so ambitious, especially when Lin Shichu finally went out shopping and met Mrs. Sun in a jewelry store.

Lin Shichu asked her politely, "Mrs. Sun, are you here shopping too?"

"Yes." Madam Sun nodded at her modestly, then raised her chin and looked down at Lin Shichu's gorgeous and luxurious clothes. She frowned and said disapprovingly, "Young girl, you should dress simply and elegantly. Too much luxury and luxury will not show your virtue. Lin's girl, I have watched you grow up. I am saying this to you today. Don't blame me. I am doing this for your own good. Although I know that your Lin family has some wealth, you can't be obsessed with the outside and ignore the inside..."

The smile in Lin Shichu's eyes disappeared immediately. He felt that this Madam Sun was really weird. She was just the wife of one of his father's business partners. How could she have the right to lecture him?

"Madam Sun, I appreciate your kindness, but you don't need to interfere in my affairs. My family is rich. The clothes I wear may be too luxurious for you, but they are very simple for me." Lin Shichu said with a wry smile.

Then he pushed back in a neither soft nor hard way: "By the way, I heard from my father that Uncle Sun had some problems with his business recently, and he came to my father for help. No wonder Madam has to be frugal. Oh, by the way, have you solved the business problem?"

After Lin Shichu said this, Madam Sun was so angry that her face turned red. Finally, she said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? There is no problem with my family's business! You are so sharp-tongued at such a young age, and you are not gentle and virtuous at all..."

After saying these words to Lin Shichu, Madam Sun left in a rage. She was afraid that Lin Shichu would tear her face even more. She knew that her family's business had been in trouble recently. How could she bear it if Lin Shichu said it in public? She could only leave a harsh word and run away.

Lin Shichu was not worried about whether this would affect his relationship with the Sun family. The Sun family's business was no match for the Lin family. Moreover, Mr. Sun had to count on her father for help recently. If he knew that his wife had spoken rudely to him, Mr. Sun would go to Mrs. Sun to settle the score himself.

Moreover, Lin Shichu had no relationship with Madam Sun, so he would not force himself to listen to her pointing fingers and inexplicable accusations.

When Lin Shichu went back and told his mother about this, his mother was so angry that she said, "How dare Madam Sun say such things about my daughter? I can't bear to say anything about her. She is getting more and more sarcastic. Chu'er, you don't have to care about your father's face when you meet her in the future. You should refute her when necessary, otherwise she will spread the word and ruin your reputation. Forget it, stay away from her in the future."

Lin Shichu nodded and said, "It's better to stay away from such people. By the way, let Dad gradually distance himself from Master Sun. I heard that he is in big trouble in his business this time. Dad can help a little, but if it will affect your family, then don't bother."

"I'll remind your father, don't worry." Mother Lin said, touching her daughter's beautiful face, and then she became a little worried, "You're already fifteen this year, and your marriage hasn't been decided yet. I'm really in a dilemma."

Lin Shichu quickly persuaded her, "Mom, I'm only fifteen, I can still accompany you for a few more years. No, I might as well not get married. Wouldn't it be better to find a son-in-law at home? You can take your time to choose a son-in-law, there's no need to rush to settle down."

Mother Lin was stunned: "Chu'er, what did you say? To marry a son-in-law? But it's hard to find a good candidate for a son-in-law, how can I let you down?"

"Mom, take your time to look for someone. You'll always find someone you like." Lin Shichu said nonchalantly. She was only fifteen years old. Why would she look for a man? She would just put it off as long as possible.

When Lin's mother first learned that her daughter wanted to marry a son-in-law, she was very worried. But after Lin Shichu's persuasion, she felt more and more that it was a good thing for her daughter to marry a son-in-law. It was much better than marrying into another family and being controlled by others. What's more, the child born by marrying a son-in-law would have the surname Lin, and the family business could be completely passed on to the child...

Lin's mother has already started thinking about how to persuade Lin's father to agree to let his daughter marry into the family.
