Chapter 68 Lin Yiguang's Gamble
Lin Yi Guang's face suddenly fell. He didn't know how he had offended his father. As long as he made some achievements and others did nothing, he would be the first to pour a bucket of cold water on him.
The originally happy and joyful atmosphere became completely awkward, and everyone didn't quite understand Lin Hongyuan's cold face.
Lin Yue shrugged her shoulders. She knew that her uncle was a rational man, otherwise he would not have been able to grow the Lin family from a commoner. There must be something wrong with her second brother, but she just didn't notice it.
Lin Daxuan tried to minimize his presence, responded softly, and ran away. He didn't want to become the target of his second uncle's resentment.
After everyone dispersed, only Lin Hongyuan and Ruan Xiayu were left.
"Brother Lin, let's play a game of hands."
"good."
Lin Hongyuan agreed readily and seemed to be in a good mood. What was going on?
"Brother Lin, what are you talking about? I don't think you're angry, so why are you humiliating your son in front of everyone?"
Having served in the same court for many years, Ruan Xiayu also knew Lin Hongyuan's character. He was a very principled person in doing things and knew how to behave in a proper manner, so he had a good relationship with people.
"If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful object. I don't believe that Brother Ruan didn't see the problem with my son.
Brother Ruan, it's your turn, please!"
Lin Hongyuan's expression remained unchanged. They might be entangled for hundreds or thousands of years in the future, and deepening their understanding of each other would be conducive to better development.
Ruan Xiayu recalled the scene when Lin Yi Guang had deceived the old man. Although this was indeed unethical, everyone had to make a living like this. There was no need to be so strict with the child if they could just use some tricks!
"Brother Lin has very high expectations for his children, but Brother Guang has only just turned thirty and has a long life ahead of him!"
Lin Hongyuan nodded slightly. It seemed that he and he had completely different problems. If it was really as Ruan Xiayu thought, it would be great. That little shortcoming would now be a shining point.
But he has a fatal flaw in his character, his gambling nature.
When he was first starting school, he found that the teacher always tested on the same topics, so he just memorized those topics. At the beginning, the teacher's feedback was always good, and no one noticed that he was being lazy in this way, until he took part in the provincial examination and failed.
Only after being forced did Lin Hongyuan realize that he had been deceiving his teacher and family in this way. The end result was that he learned nothing and failed the provincial examination.
He was already 20 years old when he took the provincial examination, but what he had learned was basically castles in the air. If he wanted to achieve success in the imperial examination, he had to start from scratch.
But he was a twenty-year-old adult with a child, and it was impossible for him to start over among ten-year-olds.
Therefore, when he reached the age of thirty, he had not achieved anything and was just managing the family business and doing the work of a housekeeper. All of them were his own sons. Wouldn't Lin Hongyuan feel heartbroken when he saw this?
He became interested in sea fishing some time ago, but when faced with danger, instead of saving himself, he bet that others would come to save him.
If a person addicted to gambling is not restrained, once he gets too addicted, he will be like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, and no one can predict the consequences that will eventually occur.
As for the issue of dampening enthusiasm, in such a harsh external environment, he believed that he would take the initiative to do things in order to live a comfortable life, so Lin Hongyuan was not worried at all that he would go on strike!
"Brother Lin, your Lin Yue has a unique vision. The entire Dagan region has completely ignored maritime resources, and even the imperial navy is empty. Without any guidance or inspiration, she can focus on this. It's amazing."
Ruan Xiayu's impression of women is that they take care of their husbands and children, spend all day calculating about clothes and jewelry, and only care about the little piece of land in front of them. They are short-sighted.
But Lin Yue broke his view of women. She led the women in the exile team to realize their own value, allowing girls of the same age to learn more skills and participate in the affairs of Baixiang Village. Their horizons gradually broadened and their views on things also changed.
Therefore, the growth of women is visible to the naked eye, and Ruan Xiayu has finally faced up to his prejudice against women, so now he praises Lin Yue without hesitation.
"Lin Yue is indeed a good child. It's a pity that I didn't realize she had such vision and strategy in the early years. Otherwise, I would definitely bring her under my wing to cultivate her."
Lin Yue said that it would be strange if it was discovered earlier, because the original owner had a low-key personality and acted like a harmless kitten in the mansion.
Lin Hongyuan admired his niece Lin Yue's performance along the way, but he was not very happy. Under her support, his three sons all looked dull.
Whenever someone in the village has a problem, the first person they think of is Lin Yue. The Lin family and even the younger generation of Baixiang Village follow her lead. If things continue like this, the second branch will sooner or later replace the first branch.
The only consolation is that the second branch of the family is not very prosperous. Lin Dayu is the only grandson, and Lin Yue also selects people from the first branch to train.
"But she's still young, so there's still time to cultivate everything. I think it's not impossible for a family that has been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years to have a child."
Ruan Xiayu had no resistance to this temptation. If the family prospered in his hands, it would be remembered by future generations for eternity.
"It's too early to talk about this now. Let's get through this difficult time first."
Lin Hongyuan spoke in a flat tone, obviously not wanting to continue this topic.
The pirates fled from Baixiang Village in a panic and headed towards the county town. On the way, they ambushed and killed the villages they passed by, as if to vent their anger. They slaughtered every village they passed by.
However, the fugitives were all poor, and they later disguised themselves as ordinary people and entered the city to kill and rob again. If the officials had not arrived in time, the county town would most likely have been slaughtered and turned into a deserted city.
Later, the people of Baixiang Village learned that all the nearby villages had been massacred, leaving no one alive. Although the last dozen or so pirates had been killed, the dead could not come back to life.
The final result was nothing more than a line of cold words on the county magistrate's memorial: On XX day, Wenyi County was attacked by pirates and XX number of refugees died.
Even the lost property and weapons are more important than this.
The people of Baixiang Village were stubborn before, but now they are grateful. They have to admit that their era has passed. Here, it is up to the younger generation to open up new developments.
Cheng Hui and Jian Xiaocheng looked at everyone's flattering attitude and smiled at each other. Opportunities often come to those who are prepared.
Even though Lin Yue's prestige in Baixiang Village was not low, there were still people who slandered her behind her back and looked down on her because she was a woman. Although they did not oppose her openly, they procrastinated, making their plans difficult to implement.
Now, all the obstacles have disappeared. They believe that after this, everyone will work together and they will be one step closer to success.
