Chapter 29: The Scumbag's Thoughts
Lin Qianqian was sitting under the flower stand in the yard, with a thick stack of visiting cards on the wooden table in front of her.
After a careful look, only Kong Hanlin's condition was somewhat critical.
Kong Hanlin accompanied his old mother to worship Buddha outside the city, but he slipped down the hillside and fell into a coma.
The Kong family said that they had no money, but the house was worth two thousand taels and they were willing to give it to them with both hands.
All the members of the Kong family put their fingerprints on the visiting card to show that they agreed to use their house to save Kong Hanlin.
This family really values family affection, unlike the Lin family, who would even kill their daughter for money, promotion and wealth.
It is also said that the people in the Confucius Mansion are very kind and that they would provide free porridge outside the gate of the Confucius Mansion on the first and fifteenth day of every month.
Such a person is worth her rescue.
"Hongdou, please make some arrangements. We will go to the Confucius Mansion tomorrow."
"Okay girl."
As expected, Kong Hanlin woke up thanks to Lin Qianqian's blessing.
All the members of the Kong family kept their promise. Instead, they packed up their simplest luggage and prepared to move into the dilapidated temple, giving the house to Lin Qianqian.
But this time Lin Qianqian was not in a hurry to collect it.
She found that Kong Hanlin's family was quite poor, and honest officials were rare, so they were precious.
"Let's put this house on hold for now, and you, the Kong family, can live there first."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Song He, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, was extremely angry when he heard about the Kong family. Why did Kong Hanlin only ask for two thousand taels and could buy on credit indefinitely, while he, the sucker, had to pay ten thousand taels in cash?
Song He asked Butler Zhu to find Jiang's house.
Butler Zhu was received by Hongdou.
"Miss Hongdou, your master is not fair. He took 10,000 taels from my master, but only took 2,000 taels from the Kong family. In the end, he even let the Kong family owe him first."
"Oh, my master said that's because Lord Song's life is more valuable than Kong Hanlin's."
Song He was very happy after hearing what Butler Zhu said. He felt relieved when Fuxing said that his life was more valuable.
To be honest, he had embezzled a lot of money, and ten thousand taels was nothing to him. He asked Butler Zhu to go to the Jiang Mansion to argue only because he was angry.
Life is short!
As a result, Fuxing said that he was worth 10,000 taels, but Kong Hanlin was only worth 2,000 taels, less than one-fifth of his worth.
This is really refreshing.
Not only did Song He know about Kong Hanlin, but the Lin family also got the news.
Lin Qingyun was particularly angry: "This girl is really extravagant. She let the Kong family owe her money first, but she never paid it back. She is really a spendthrift girl."
"There are still so many days left, and they are all wasted. I arranged for her to go to visit her family, but she didn't go. If she had gone, she could have earned at least more than 10,000 taels in the past few days."
The more Lin Qingyun thought about it, the angrier he became. Only a fool would not make any money from more than ten thousand taels of silver.
"Madam, go to the Jiang residence again and tell that girl that unmarried women are not allowed to have private wealth. Ask her to hand over the 10,000 taels she earned from being a guest at the Song family."
Everything was good for Lin Qianqian after she moved into Jiang's house, except for the fact that the Lin family always came to visit.
Lin Qianqian went to the Qingcheng Rouge Shop to settle the accounts. As soon as she returned to the gate of Jiang's house, she was stopped by Wang.
She stayed in the carriage and did not come out to see Wang.
Wang could only speak to Hongdou: "The laws of our dynasty stipulate that unmarried women cannot have private wealth. Let your daughter give me the 10,000 taels given by Lord Song. I will keep it for her and give it as a dowry when she gets married."
This is a nice thing to say. Jiang's dowry was used as a dowry when she got married, and it is still in the hands of Old Lady Lin. Old Lady Lin and Wang are now irreconcilable in their fight for Jiang's dowry.
Wang scolded through the curtain, "Qianqian, you didn't even know to get off the carriage and greet the mistress when you saw her."
Lin Qianqian: I’m asking you a stupid question.
Hongdou still had her hands on her hips in the classic pose, she could not lose her aura no matter what she lost: "My girl is a lucky star now, others would have to spend at least several thousand taels of silver to see my girl, you want to take advantage of my girl's blessing for free, no way."
Wang was also angry. Who would want to share in the blessing of your daughter?
The Lin residence is quite far from the Jiang residence. If it weren't for the money, he would not even bother to make this trip.
Wang knew that she could not get the ten thousand taels, so she could only go back and discuss it with Lin Qingyun, and then think of a good plan to make Qianqian voluntarily spit out the money.
Not long after Wang left, Old Mrs. Lin came again.
Hongdou opened the door and pretended not to know him.
"Who are you? Why do you want to see my girl?"
The maid Xiao Xing was still arrogant, pointing at Old Madam Lin and saying, "This is the old lady of the Lin residence, your daughter's grandmother. Why don't you ask your daughter to come out and greet her?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know any Madam Lin. My daughter has been in the mansion for more than half a month, and I have never seen any Madam Lin in the mansion."
Xiao Xing was about to explode, but was stopped by Old Mrs. Lin.
"It's only natural that Qianqian is angry. It's all my fault. Ever since she returned to the Lin Mansion, I haven't been feeling well. I was afraid that I might pass my illness on to Qianqian, so I haven't seen her once."
Hongdou was just pretending to stop her. After all, the girl said that she wanted to see Old Madam Lin and discuss something with her.
"Mrs. Lin, since you sincerely admit your mistake, please follow me into the mansion."
Xiao Xing wanted to follow in, but Hong Dou pushed her out the door.
When she lived in the Lin Mansion, Xiao Xing often went to the stables to act bossy and use chicken feathers as a token of authority.
"My daughter is a blessed person. You, a peach or an apricot, don't even think about taking advantage of my daughter's blessing."
Old Mrs. Lin came into the house without putting on airs. She was all smiles and very kind to Lin Qianqian.
"Qianqian girl, I am your grandmother. Come here, this is my gift to you."
The gift was a silver bracelet of old style.
This old lady was in charge of Lin Qianqian's mother's dowry shop, and earned at least several thousand taels of silver a year, but she gave her away with an old silver bracelet.
What a miser.
"Qianqian girl, I have been suffering from insomnia recently. I can't fall asleep even after dawn."
Lin Qianqian changed the incense in the room to one that helps with sleep.
"Old lady, you should be able to sleep well when you go back tonight. If you want to benefit from my blessing next time, give me the indentures of Wu Pozi's family."
Mrs. Wu saved Lin Qianqian's life. When Lin Qianqian first entered the Lin Mansion, she promised to redeem Mrs. Wu's entire family.
When Mrs. Lin left the house, she already felt sleepy.
As a result, on the way back to the Lin Mansion, the old lady fell asleep in the carriage and slept until dawn.
Old Mrs. Lin felt full of energy. After eating the delicious Ma Ma, she had the strength to do anything.
However, after a few days, she began to suffer from insomnia again.
If you ask what is the most painful thing in life, for Mrs. Lin, insomnia is definitely the most painful.
She remembered the request made by Lin Qianqian.
If we calculate it, if we buy a family of seven like Mrs. Wu from a human trafficker, it will cost at least one hundred taels of silver.
Although Mrs. Lin was reluctant, she still took the indenture and went to Jiang's house.
