What? Ten, a hundred thousand taels of gold? When Lin Caogen heard Jiang Jiang's inner voice, he was immediately shocked, but the next moment his face was covered with an unusual expression of profiteer, an expression that only belonged to profiteers.
Especially cunning. Not bad, not bad, really good. He liked his daughter's cleverness. Lin Caogen looked at the Tang governor.
The expression on his face was extremely serious, and the Tang governor thought that Lin Caogen was going to reject him. After all, he was risking his reputation for a bite of food.
Just to have a bite to eat.
But I could only hear it.
The voices of the forest grass roots suddenly rose.
"You want to eat at my party?"
Is it really that serious? He was just taking a seat, and he was the governor. This Lin Caogen, a lowly person, was so disrespectful to him, the governor. Governor Tang's eyes were full of anger.
And what the Lin family said was true: this Lin Caogen was completely ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. He waited until his son, Lin Shan, was completely vindicated before he showed such disrespect.
He tried to shout but couldn't. The fat and big-eared Tang governor looked at Lin Caogen with anger in his eyes and just listened to him.
His words were so treacherous.
"You can have dinner with us, after all, guests are welcome. But I've spent quite a bit of money on this assembly line for my daughter. You know, money is hard to come by these days, especially in these politically turbulent times. Not to mention the people of Xujia Village. We're all incredibly poor."
"These days, we can't even get enough to eat. We're so broke." Is this guy even talking like a human being? Pah. Other villages might be poor, but theirs wasn't. I don't know where this Lin Caogen got the nerve to say their entire village was broke. Xu Cuihua happened to be coming over at this time, and when she saw Governor Tang, her eyes were filled with a soft light.
She couldn't help but pat Jiang Jiang's little hands.
"Alas, look at how thin my child is. He has never been as fat as the governor. It would be great if he could be as fat as the governor. The reason why the governor eats fat over there is because he is too rich. Since you have money, why not donate to our child? Our child is in urgent need of your donation."
Xu Cuihua has now also learned to be shameless. He found that when people are shameless, unnecessary disputes will be reduced, and the whole person will become particularly good and in a good mood.
Now Xu Cuihua said to Governor Tang that she looked as cheerful as spring breeze and no one could find any fault with her, as if she was sincerely asking for this blessing.
Governor Tang clenched his fists, which made a crackling sound, but he did not dare to clench them again, for fear that the couple would notice the difference in his expression.
He gritted his teeth.
"I will not go to this banquet for nothing, and I naturally understand the difficulties your family is facing.
"Oh, Governor Tang understands our family's difficulties. That's good. How about giving me 100,000 taels of gold as a gift for my daughter's first birthday party?"
What?
This time, not only Governor Tang but also Lin Xiaoer spoke in unison. Their voices suddenly rose.
And there was such fear in their words, one hundred thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of gold, why don't you just go and rob it? When Lin Xiaoer heard what Lin Caogen said, he refreshed his understanding of this uncle. Aren't they becoming more and more shameless?
They actually openly extorted an official of the imperial court. Aren't they afraid that Your Majesty will arrest them all?
At this moment, when Lin Xiaoer looked at these people, there was deep contempt in his eyes. One by one, they actually asked Tang Shishi for 100,000 taels of gold.
How shameless! And Jiang Jiang was smiling there.
"Brother Xiao Er, there is actually very little gold, at least in the eyes of a child like me. Look, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten..." Jiang Jiang counted the number of gold on his fingers in one go.
"One hundred thousand taels of gold is just like ten fingers." Haha, is he trying to praise her for being smart? Lin Xiaoer was so angry that he laughed at Jiang Jiang's words.
As expected, this level of shamelessness is hereditary.
Jiang Jiang's genes were so accurate. If the three members of the family are shameless, then Lin Shan is probably a shameless person as well. Just after he finished speaking, Lin Shan also said to Governor Tang.
"Sir Governor, your presence in our humble abode is truly a blessing to us, but some things need to be changed. For example, your arrival is a blessing from heaven for my sister. She has been frail and sickly since she was a child, and she has never tasted such delicious food."
"Nowadays, her family is poor and has no money, so she can only watch others enjoy delicious food."
"We can't offer him such good conditions. Isn't it because you, Governor Tang, have come? This is why our humble abode is so bright and glorious. We have never seen such a high-ranking official before. Your arrival is truly a great blessing to us."
"Alas, if only we could be as promising as Lord Tang, we wouldn't have fallen into this state. Look at how kind Lord Tang is, a good man, and generous. He even thought of donating to us when he saw that our family was poor."
Stop flattering me!
When Governor Tang heard what Lin Shan said, he was so shocked that he vomited blood. He didn't know how they came up with the idea.
Isn't this blatant blackmail? Each one of them is becoming more and more shameless. He has never seen such shameless people before. They are really like snakes and rats in the same nest. What goes around comes around.
Their family was truly disgusting. Governor Tang cursed the entire Lin family to pieces in his heart.
Of course, Lin Xiaoer felt the same way. He thought his uncle's family was shameless.
I didn't expect him to be so shameless as to ask the governor for 100,000 taels of gold. Did he know what 100,000 taels of gold meant?
However, Lin Shan kept acting pitifully to Governor Tang.
