Chapter 166 Lin Yu Asks for Money
"Why did you buy so much food?"
"Yu'er, our family is no longer the same as before. You can't be so lavish with your money anymore!"
"Li'er is small and has a small appetite. She can't finish even one snack you buy. If you buy so many, won't it all be wasted?"
"Can I still return it now? If I can, then send it in for a return!"
Such words would never have come out of Mrs. Lin's mouth before.
In the past, Mrs. Lin would just feel that she didn’t buy enough.
But now, he actually asked if he could return it.
When Lin Yu heard these words, he felt not only unbelievable but also extremely embarrassed.
In front of Li'er, his mother said such words, which not only made Li'er feel uncomfortable, but also made him lose face!
"It's impossible to return it." Lin Yu's tone was stiff. "Mother, don't feel so bad. This is the last time I will use your money. From now on, I won't spend your money again!"
When Mrs. Lin heard Lin Yu's cold and harsh words, her eyes instantly turned red.
"Yu'er, what do you mean by this? Are you blaming mother? Our lives now are really different from before, you should also understand mother! You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are because you don't manage the household. Just buying some snacks cost dozens of taels. If we save these dozens of taels, we can eat for a month or two, you-"
“That’s enough!”
Lin Yu's voice suddenly rose and he interrupted Mrs. Lin fiercely.
"I've already told you this is the last time I'll spend your money, and I won't spend it again. Why are you still nagging me? It's just a few dozen taels of silver, isn't it? When I earn more money, I'll pay you back double, a hundred times, ten times, a hundred times the rice, isn't that enough? Can you please be quiet now? Look at how scared you've made Li'er. Her eyes are red and she's afraid to eat. Are you satisfied with this?"
Regardless of Mrs. Lin's reaction, after Lin Yu finished speaking in an annoyed tone, he squatted down and looked at Lin Ruoli gently.
"Li'er, don't be afraid! Just eat without worry! Uncle will go out and earn money soon, and he will definitely let you live the same life as before!"
Lin Ruoli's eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
She sobbed but didn't dare make any sound.
Not only were his eyes red, but his nose was also red. He looked extremely pitiful.
"Uncle, please don't quarrel with grandma because of Li'er!"
"Li'er doesn't have to eat cakes! Li'er just hopes that her uncle and grandmother are well!"
"Li'er can just eat the cool, hard buns!"
"Uncle, can you please tell grandma that Li'er is really easy to raise and not to drive her out?"
Listening to Lin Ruoli saying these words in a tearful voice, Lin Yu felt as if his heart was about to break.
"Li'er, you don't have to worry about so much! You just need to eat and drink well, and don't worry about anything else!"
Lin Yu stood up and said, "Mother, I'm going out to earn money now. Please don't make things difficult for Li'er! If I come back and find that Li'er is missing or injured in any way, I will leave here and you will never see me again!"
After leaving these words, Lin Yu strode out.
Mrs. Lin didn't come back to her senses until she could no longer see Lin Yu's back.
This...what on earth is going on?
She just asked Lin Yu not to spend money lavishly and to buy only one kind of pastry at a time to avoid waste and save some money.
Her original intention was clearly good, and she was clearly considering the future lives of the three of them.
Why did it become Lin Yu who was going to make things difficult for Lin Ruoli?
And what did Lin Ruoli mean by what she just said?
When was she going to kick Lin Ruoli out?
When will Lin Ruoli be forced to eat cold steamed buns?
Thinking back on what Lin Ruoli just said, why did it seem so much like she was just trying to seduce me?
Mrs. Lin lowered her eyes to look at Lin Ruoli, and saw that Lin Ruoli just looked up.
The two looked at each other.
After a moment, Lin Ruoli suddenly lowered her eyes, and her small body trembled.
"Grandma, can mother come out? Will I be without a mother in the future?"
Lin Ruoli's voice was filled with tears.
She is not very old and is a small person.
At this moment, the body was huddled and looked even smaller.
Hearing Lin Ruoli's words and looking at her trembling body, Mrs. Lin's doubts instantly disappeared, and only heartache remained.
How could she doubt Lin Ruoli!
This is the granddaughter she has watched grow up since she was a child!
Although we are not related by blood, I have indeed called her grandmother for so many years.
For such a young child who has experienced such a big change, it is amazing that he is not crazy or stupid. How could he possibly play tricks at any time!
Mrs. Lin squatted down, took Lin Ruoli in her arms, and gently patted her back.
"Li'er, don't think so much!"
"Just remember that your grandmother and your uncle will always love you!"
"From now on, the three of us will depend on each other and we will be able to survive!"
Lin Ruoli's body stiffened for a moment, but soon softened.
She threw herself directly into Mrs. Lin's arms, opened her arms, hugged Mrs. Lin, and cried sadly.
Hearing Lin Ruoli's crying, Mrs. Lin's eyes became even redder, and tears fell like beads from a broken string.
The two hugged each other and cried for a long time before gradually calming down.
Mrs. Lin asked the little maid to fetch some water and helped Lin Ruoli and herself wash their hands and faces.
The tear marks on the face were washed away, but the red circles under the eyes and nose would not disappear in a short time.
Mrs. Lin smiled gently, "Li'er, are you tired of crying? Come and eat something! These are all your favorites! Your uncle bought them especially for you, don't waste them!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Lin took a piece of cake and handed it to Lin Ruoli.
Lin Ruoli took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, grandma."
Listening to Lin Ruoli's soft and slightly hoarse voice, Mrs. Lin's heart softened even more.
"You're welcome, just eat!"
Lin Ruoli held the pastry in both hands, lowered her head and ate it in small bites.
She lowered her head and cast down her eyes.
Mrs. Lin sat next to her and could not see the coldness and indifference in her eyes.
...
After Lin Yu left home, he naturally did not go to work to earn money.
He was born in the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion and was born as the Yong'an Marquis's legitimate son.
Although he did not ask for the establishment of a crown prince, he had lived a life of luxury over the years.
He had never thought about working to earn money, let alone doing it.
Although the Lin family has fallen into decline now, he still has many good friends over the years!
These friends used to drink with him, watch plays and listen to music, and go horseback riding, hunting and outings in the suburbs.
Although they are not biological brothers, their relationship is closer than that of biological brothers.
In the past, if someone had any problems and asked for money, he would give the money without hesitation.
At that time, they said that if he needed help or money in the future, he only needed to tell them and they would definitely help him!
He doesn't need them to help him out of all their pockets now. Just giving him a few hundred taels of silver will be enough!
A few hundred taels of silver is not a big sum for them, they can take it out casually!
Lin Yu was thinking this in his heart when he arrived at the door of a good friend's house.
He straightened his clothes slightly before walking to the door.
As soon as I got close, the gatekeeper came over.
Lin Yu curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a bright smile.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the servant scolding him impatiently.
"Where did you come from, you stinky beggar! Who asked you to block our door? Are you tired of living?"
Lin Yu was shocked by these words, and the smile on his face froze.
"You...what did you say? Who are you calling a stinking beggar? Open your dog eyes and see clearly, I am your Master Lin! I'm here to see your young master! Hurry up and report!"
The servant waved his hand impatiently, "What Young Master Lin? I don't know him! My Young Master has never known anyone with the last name Lin! Who do you think you are? You want to see our Young Master, and he has to see you? You take yourself too seriously! Get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for calling someone to beat you up!"
Lin Yu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He pointed at the servant and was speechless.
Of course, he didn't want to leave just like that. He was about to continue arguing with the servant when he saw the servant turn around and run to the gate, shouting, "Someone's here to cause trouble! Hurry up and come out with your weapons! Teach this ignorant guy a lesson!"
As the servant finished speaking, a group of guards actually ran out with knives, guns, sticks and clubs.
They all looked ferocious and were running towards Lin Yu.
Lin Yu's face turned pale the moment he was frightened. He didn't dare to stay there any longer and turned around and ran away.
Only after running two blocks away did Lin Yu stop panting.
Looking back, seeing that no one was catching up with him, Lin Yu finally felt relieved.
After the fear is gone, all that is left is anger!
"This ungrateful thing used to be like a dog around me, and now he dares to let his wings bite me. He's really grown wings! When I turn things around in the future, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"
"It's not like I only have this one friend!"
"Wait until I find the others... Then, I'll tell them what he did and see how he can survive in the capital!"
Lin Yu muttered to himself, but kept walking, and soon he arrived at the door of another "friend's" house.
Just as he was about to step onto the stairs, a dog rushed out of the gate and rushed towards him.
Lin Yu was frightened by the dog and subconsciously wanted to run, but his legs were not as fast as his brain.
When he turned around, he tripped himself and rolled down the stairs.
Although there were only a few steps, Lin Yu would not fall to his death, but he would still be injured.
Lin Yu was lying on the ground in a mess, his body covered in dust, and his exposed hands and face had scratches of varying degrees.
