Not only did he lose all his money gambling away, but he also impulsively borrowed 1,000 taels of silver from the gambling house, and lost it again.
He had clearly made up his mind not to borrow money from the gambling house anymore, but when he got emotional, he couldn't help himself.
Borrowing one thousand after another.
When he finally realized it, he already owed the gambling house six thousand taels of silver!
It happened to be Lin Youran's engagement day, and he couldn't ask his sister for the warehouse key on such a happy day, so he had to wait.
He waited until the next day and quietly found Lin Youran.
"What?! Six thousand taels!"
Lin Youran exclaimed, and Lin Huijin quickly asked her to speak more quietly.
"Brother! Why do you owe so much money again?!"
Lin Youran was so angry that her eyes turned red.
Lin Huijin looked unhappy, "Anyway, I owe you money. Ran'er, take some more things out of the warehouse for me, and I'll pawn them for money.
Ran'er, the amount of money this time is quite a lot. If you can't pay it back, your brother's hands and feet will really be broken!
Please help your brother, Ran'er!"
Lin Youran was distressed and hesitant, but finally couldn't resist Lin Huijin's request and took out a lot of things from the warehouse at night.
However, after pawning all these, the total amount was still not enough for six thousand taels, so Lin Youran took out things two or three more times.
At this point, Lin Youran thought that the matter was over and no one would notice that a lot of things were missing from the warehouse.
But one day later, someone from the clan came to Lin Youran and asked for the key to enter the warehouse.
As soon as I entered, I found that a lot of things were missing from the warehouse.
"Why is it so empty? Where did all the stuff go?"
"Aunt, some things have been pawned. My mother knows about it."
Lin Youran explained calmly.
Lin Zhao stared at Lin Youran suspiciously. "Really? Then I have to ask Ying."
Lin Zhaoshi rushed to find Ying Xixi, and Lin Youran hurriedly followed behind her.
Ying Xixi knew that someone would come to see her soon, so she stood up and sat at the table, asking Qiulin to open the door and wait for the guests.
soon.
"Ying, there are so many things missing from the warehouse. Ran'er said you knew about it, right?"
Lin Zhao asked directly without hesitation.
Ying Xixi raised her eyebrows slightly, "I do know about this. Jin'er was in debt before, and I didn't have any money, so I asked him to take some things from the warehouse to pawn them. What's wrong?
It can’t be that the warehouse is already half empty, right?”
"It's not even half empty yet, but it looks like it will be soon. Ran'er, since you're the head of the household now, go and take inventory of the things in the warehouse again.
No matter how I look at it, I feel something is wrong. Even if Jin'er owes debts and takes things to pawn, just two items would be enough for him to pawn for several thousand taels.
But if the things left inside were pawned, they would be worth at least tens of thousands of taels!
It can't just disappear like that, go and count it now!"
Lin Zhaoshi's attitude was very firm. Lin Youran was very flustered and looked at Ying Xixi for help.
Ying Xixi drank her tea leisurely without looking at Lin Youran.
"Ran'er, since your aunt said so, go and take inventory.
It's better to clarify this so that the three of us won't be suspected."
"Ying, you!"
Lin Zhao understood the implicit meaning of Ying Xixi's words. She wanted to curse but didn't know where to start, so she had to hold it back.
Seeing that Ying Xixi couldn't save her, Lin Youran had no choice but to go and count.
