"Mother-in-law, I wonder if you could spare some money to help with the renovation and expansion of the house?" Bei Yutang asked with a smile.
Bei Yutang cried poor directly, catching Lin off guard.
She came to ask her for money, but in the end, she was the one asking her for money. This really made Lin very angry, but she couldn't do anything about it.
Lin took a deep breath and said, "I don't have any money here. Since you brought up the matter of repairing and expanding the house, it's natural that you will be responsible for it until the end."
Bei Yutang sighed, "I don't need to. It seems that I can only sell some jewelry to slow down the process. Otherwise, the neighbors will know about the house renovation. If we don't do it, we will lose face. My husband is a scholar, and the most important thing is his reputation. Without his reputation, his career will be over."
When Lin heard that this matter concerned Fu Yibo's future, she immediately tensed up and said nervously, "We can't be careless about this matter. If we damage Yibo's reputation, we'll be finished."
"It's not necessary for my daughter-in-law. But once the craftsmen arrive, my mother-in-law will need to spend more time and effort on the food at home. After all, this also concerns my husband's reputation." Bei Yutang said with a smile.
This is a matter concerning Fu Yibo. Even if Lin is extremely unwilling, he has no choice but to agree now.
Being able to squeeze some money out of the stingy Lin family would make them feel the pain for a long time.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Bei Yutang stood up and said goodbye.
Mrs. Lin was worried about the money for food, so she naturally wouldn't keep her.
She could bear to feed the craftsmen for a day or two, but if it went on for a long time, it would cost a lot of money, and all this money would flow out of her hands.
When she thought of this, Lin felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She was originally happy to be able to renovate the house and expand it, thinking she had gotten a good deal. But now she has to be responsible for entertaining the craftsmen's food. Lin blamed Bei Yutang for bringing up the matter of renovating the house.
In her previous life, it was the original owner who had suggested renovating the Fu family's house. She was simply responsible for paying, while Lin handled the rest. Initially, they had agreed to expand the house, and the original owner had given the money. But in the end, under Lin's advice, it was simply a simple renovation that wouldn't cost much.
Lin pocketed all the extra silver.
The original owner was thin-skinned, and since the other party was her mother-in-law, she naturally would not ask her for such a small amount of silver and ruin their relationship, so she pretended to know nothing.
Because of this incident, Lin knew the original owner's personality. Knowing that she was easy to manipulate, Lin began to use various excuses to get money from the original owner.
After learning that she owned shops and fertile land, they used all kinds of bizarre excuses to take the money from her, claiming that she was helping to keep an eye on it, but in the end the money went into her pocket.
Bei Yutang will not give Lin any chance. When dealing with people like Lin, you can't be thin-skinned. Once you are thin-skinned, Lin will get the upper hand.
Nanny Wang was very efficient. She arranged for the craftsmen that day, and the tiles, wood and other materials were delivered the next day. The neighbors saw this and knew that the Fu family next door really wanted to expand their house.
They gathered around the Fu family's yard, craning their necks to look inside.
