Chapter 41 Parents Who Listen to Advice
"So much... so much..."
Lin Jianbin looked shocked and stammered.
But when he came to his senses, he quickly closed the courtyard gate and looked nervously at Lin Muyan.
"Daughter, this money is..."
Lin Jianbin feared that all this money came from the Shen family. The attitude of the Shen couple was clear; if they found out that their daughter had taken tens of millions of assets with her when she left the Shen family, they would definitely not let it go.
Lin Muyan knew what her father was worried about, and she smiled and said:
“This money has absolutely nothing to do with the Shen family. After I left the Shen family, they froze all my bank cards, and I have already canceled them all. Now my money has nothing to do with the Shen family; it was all earned by myself.”
Of course, it was all thanks to the golden shovel; she didn't use any of the Shen family's original connections. Even if the Shen family knew she had money, they couldn't find out her relationship with the Shen family.
Even if they want to rob, they need to have a reason to do so, otherwise it is robbery. Even wealthy families cannot disregard the law!
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianbin breathed a sigh of relief. He trusted his daughter; if she had no connection with the Shen family, then there was no problem.
As for how Mu Yan earned so much money all at once, he wouldn't pry, much less ask her for money.
At this moment, Wang Yanqin also returned, dragging large and small bags.
The tricycle was pushed into the yard, with piles of coal in burlap sacks, a lot of easy-to-store vegetables, three large bags of rice, and five barrels of oil behind it.
“My daughter is home! Come and see! I was lucky today and found a great seller. This whole truckload of stuff only cost me less than a thousand yuan.”
Coal doesn't fetch a good price here, and city dwellers don't use old-fashioned stoves for cooking, so the market for coal is still mainly in the countryside.
Lin Muyan glanced at the supplies her mother had bought; they were all very practical items and had been stored for a while. She couldn't help but nod in approval.
Her parents listened to her advice, saving her the trouble of arguing.
However, Lin Muyan thought for a moment and reminded her:
"It's best to be discreet when stockpiling supplies, so that too many people don't see it. You can also buy more warm clothes and blankets, and buy more for your older brother and Xiao Nuan as well."
Lin Muyan did not bring up the idea of preparing something to cool off in the summer, as it was still the dead of winter and she was afraid that saying so would cause her mother anxiety.
Wang Yanqin nodded repeatedly, her face beaming with smiles.
"Don't worry, honey. Since it's for preparing supplies for the apocalypse, we should keep a low profile. Mom understands. Oh, and Mom will also prepare some clothes for you. Size M should be enough for you, right?"
Lin Muyan was about to refuse, but seeing her mother's expectant look, she nodded: "Okay, Mom, you can buy whatever you want. I won't be picky. If you don't have enough money, just ask me. I just showed Dad my savings. We're not short of money."
"However, you don't need to pay back the money you owe. If they come to collect the debt again, tell me and I'll handle it."
The end of the world is coming, why should my mother's relatives on her side of the family have to pay back the money they owe?
This isn't considered defaulting on a debt. It's unreasonable for a scoundrel uncle to owe money and expect his mother to pay it back. This money wasn't originally theirs to begin with.
Wang Yanqin was taken aback when she heard this. When the Lin family's debts were mentioned, she immediately felt a pang of self-reproach.
"It's all my fault. My good-for-nothing brother is drowning in gambling debts. The debt collectors are trying to break his arms and legs. Your grandparents came to me for help, saying they would use the money meant for their retirement to pay off his debts. I was soft-hearted and agreed to help him pay off part of it. Who knew that all the gambling debts would end up on my shoulders?"
Wang Yanqin gritted her teeth silently, then suddenly hardened her heart and said firmly:
"No, we won't help them. Let them live or die as they please. Don't worry, daughter, Mom will listen to you."
She needed to make a decision and separate herself from her family. She felt extremely guilty for dragging the Lin family down with her.
Now that my eldest son has entered the workforce, he'll eventually need to get married, and I'll have to help him with buying a house and a car.
The second daughter is capable, and she has never been raised by my side for a single day. I must make it up to her. She has never experienced hardship, and I shouldn't make her suffer after she returns to the Lin family.
The youngest child, Nuannuan, is only in first grade. Education is becoming increasingly demanding these days. While other children are enrolling in classes to learn this and that, Nuannuan has already fallen behind.
And her husband, who has always supported her, has to support the family and pay off her debts. She owes him so much.
My daughter is right. That debt doesn't need to be repaid. She has no obligation to help her brother pay off his debts, especially gambling debts.
After helping to arrange a few pieces of furniture, Lin Muyan drove her little pickup truck out.
After she left, Wang Yanqin pulled Lin Jianbin aside and asked him in a low voice.
"Honey, what's this about the savings our daughter mentioned?"
Lin Jianbin felt there was no need to hide this from the child's mother, so he told her the truth:
"Mu Yan has this amount of savings."
He held up three fingers, and Wang Yanqin's eyes widened immediately.
"Three million? Where did she get so much money?"
"No, it's missing a zero, it's thirty million."
"Three! Thirty million!" Wang Yanqin was almost too shocked. After realizing what had happened, she quickly covered her mouth and then became worried as well.
"Could this money be money my daughter brought from the Shen family? If the Shen family finds out, wouldn't that be..."
Lin Jianbin smiled upon hearing this: "Don't worry, she earned it all herself. She's capable. We should discuss this. If we can't help her, that's fine, but we absolutely can't become a burden to her."
Wang Yanqin immediately composed herself and nodded in agreement.
I never expected my daughter to be so capable. Thirty million is an amount that ordinary people can't earn in several lifetimes. We must not let the Shen family covet this money, or my daughter will suffer.
"Don't tell Xiao Nuan and A Xiao about Mu Yan's wealth. Although the two children know their limits, it's better to be safe than sorry."
Wang Yanqin instructed Lin Jianbin to keep it a secret, while secretly resolving to sever ties with her family as soon as possible.
We must never let them know that our daughter has money, otherwise they will definitely become greedy, and that would really harm our daughter.
**
Lin Muyan drove to the Black Pearl Restaurant from yesterday, and as the manager had said, they were indeed closed for the day.
After parking the car, Lin Muyan hummed a little tune as she walked inside. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure in front of her. Her face immediately darkened, and she quickly turned around to avoid the person, but it was too late.
"Oh, isn't this the Shen family's daughter? No, no, look at my brain, I should call you Miss Lin now."
Fu Sinian stared at Lin Muyan's slightly impatient expression with amusement, oblivious to the fact that he was blocking her way. He bent down and leaned closer, looking like a spoiled and arrogant young master.
"Lift your head up. How am I supposed to laugh at you if you keep your head down like this?"
Although Fu Sinian said this, he no longer had the intention of teasing Lin Muyan. Instead, a hint of heartache flashed across his eyes.
The live chat exploded.
It's him, it's that kid!
[Isn't this the tsundere Young Master Fu? Could it be that he heard Lin Muyan was expelled from the Shen family and came here because he smelled the scent?]
[Young Master Fu is quite a breath of fresh air, it's just that his tea-tasting skills are terrible, he actually likes...]
