Lin was silently thinking in his heart what excuse to come up with.
Lin was thinking about something, and the matter was over.
When she went out to buy groceries, Lin remembered that she had not asked Bei Yutang for the money yet, but she had already left. She could only pay for it herself and ask her for it later.
After Lin came back, the first thing he did was to find Bei Yutang.
"Wife Yutang, the money for buying groceries this morning..." Lin stopped here, and the meaning was very clear.
"Vegetable money?" Bei Yutang looked at her with confusion.
Seeing her like this, Lin became a little anxious and said shamelessly, "Didn't you say you would give me money for the food?"
Bei Yutang raised her eyebrows and looked at her in surprise.
If someone else were here, even if they hadn't said this, they would have given the money to save face for both parties. However, Bei Yutang never intended to give her the money.
"Vegetable money? Mother-in-law, did you remember it wrong?" Bei Yutang didn't give her any face.
In the previous life, the original owner gave too much face to Lin, which led to her becoming arrogant and trampling on the original owner to death.
Lin's face turned ugly.
What she meant was that she was not going to pay for the food.
Bei Yutang continued, "Mother-in-law, is it that my husband didn't give you this month's allowance? Don't worry, I'll have a good talk with him when he comes back."
In the feudal society, a daughter-in-law's dowry was her personal property. Whether she was willing to give it to the family depended on her willingness. Otherwise, if someone openly tried to take the daughter-in-law's dowry, he would be scolded by the people around him.
In her previous life, Lin had imprisoned Bei Yutang in this small world, never allowing her to leave the house. Even if she had any grievances, she couldn't express them to outsiders. Furthermore, Lin often lamented to the neighbors, subtly complaining about how spoiled the original owner was, and how she had to serve him like a maid and a servant.
Outsiders didn't know the original owner's situation, so they naturally believed what Lin said. Therefore, even if the original owner died, they didn't think there was anything wrong with the Fu family.
Things were different now. After Bei Yutang came over, she naturally wanted to build good relationships with the neighbors and let outsiders know that the Fu family relied on her to live a good life. If there was anything wrong with the Fu family in the future, someone would naturally speak out.
Fu Yi Bo is a scholar, and the most important thing to him is reputation. If his reputation is bad, even if he passes the imperial examination, he will not be able to serve as an official in the court.
When Lin heard her say this, she was furious.
Lin was also a thick-skinned woman. She suppressed her displeasure and said with a smile, "As you can see, our family is not wealthy. Even if you bring four people home, the money in the treasury won't be enough to spend."
"Grandma is worried about this, but you don't have to worry. I'll tell Aunt Wang and the others later that I'll be responsible for their food, clothing, and other expenses. I won't let them take a single cent from you, Grandma."
Bei Yutang’s meaning was very clear. I will take care of my own people, but she is not responsible for the others.
"If you have money in your household, could you please contribute a bit towards the renovations and expansion? I thought a hundred taels of silver would be enough, but I didn't expect it would be so expensive. To be honest, I had a fight with my parents before I got married, and the dowry they gave me was all flashy stuff, not much practical money. Now that we're renovating and expanding the house, I'm running out of money."
