Chapter 97
Before Wen Jiunian could say anything, his mother said, "He's already grown up, and he's still collecting yearly allowances!"
"No matter how old he is, he is still my grandson. I have to give him to you."
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma." Wen Jiunian was not polite and accepted it with a smile. At the same time, he also took the New Year's money given by his grandparents.
Lin Nanzhi felt that the atmosphere in this family was really good.
Just as she was thinking this, Lin Nanzhi called, so she used this as an excuse to leave the living room and ran to the balcony to answer the phone.
Looking at the myriad lights outside, she sighed as she realized that none of them belonged to the dark Wan family.
"Happy New Year, sis!"
"Happiness, bullshit!" Lin Nanxuan said this as soon as she opened her mouth. Her voice was filled with anger and it was obvious that she was angry.
"What's going on?"
"I'm telling you, it was a wise decision for you not to come home for the New Year. If I had known I wouldn't have come back. I would have rather died out there."
Lin Nanzhi: “…”
That's a bit too much.
However, Lin Nanzhi was very curious about what had happened that made Lin Nanxuan so angry that she even said she would die outside.
"What happened?"
Let's go back a few hours...
In the second half of this year, every household built a new house. Even the poorer families saw their economy boosted and the government contributed part of the money, so they also started building their houses.
The families of several uncles were no exception. They all had a three-story small house, but because of the renovation, they had no money to buy furniture, so they did not move in.
Several families lived at Uncle Lin's house and Father Lin's house, and at the end of the year they planned to celebrate the New Year together.
There was actually nothing wrong with celebrating the New Year together. After all, the whole family hadn't had a meal together for many years, let alone celebrating the New Year together, so no one had any objections.
But just when they were eating, Uncle Lin realized that Lin Nanzhi was not there, so he said, "My brother, is your Lin Nanzhi not here? Or is he next door?"
Father Lin was handling the chicken in his hand and replied, "She said she had something to do and couldn't come back. She won't be coming home for the New Year this year."
Uncle Lin frowned upon hearing this, and with an elder brother's look, he began to lecture Lin's father: "My brother, you guys are too used to her! It's okay if she doesn't come back at other times, but you don't come back during the Chinese New Year. It means you don't take this place seriously at all.
They say the Chinese New Year is about family reunions. If the whole family is not together, what’s the point of reunion?
How big of a problem is it that you can’t come back for Chinese New Year? If you don’t come back for Chinese New Year now, you will definitely not come back when you grow up! "
Father Lin waved his hands.
If it was in the past, he might have been angry, but now that Lin Nanzhi has her own opinion, he just ignores Lin Nanzhi. If she says there is something wrong, then it must be something wrong. It’s okay if she doesn’t go home for the New Year!
After all, I was at home every year before, it’s just this one year!
"It's okay. She just has something to do. It doesn't matter if she doesn't come back."
Uncle Lin was even more furious when he saw Father Lin like this, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Next to her, when she heard that the whole family would be together for the New Year, Lin's mother was reluctant to join in the fun, but Aunt Lin and her children kept persuading her, so she sighed and said, "Okay, let's go!"
The New Year's Eve is next door, and it's the house her daughter is renovating. It's no big deal for her to go there. What is there to be afraid of?
So she went over to help.
It was a lively and festive time, but during the meal, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin started to make trouble.
"Sister-in-law, where is your Nanzhi?"
Hearing Auntie Lin calling her sister-in-law, Mother Lin was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was calling her and looked at Auntie Lin.
Aunt Lin was short, less than 1.6 meters tall, with an oval face and good-looking features, but not stunning. She was wearing a khaki suit and her eyes were full of calculation. Sitting next to her was Uncle Lin, who was about 1.7 meters tall, with yellow skin, a small mustache, and a stern look.
When his wife asked this question, he stared at Lin's mother.
"Zhizhi, she's busy and won't be back."
"What's the matter?"
What does it have to do with you?
Lin's mother wanted to say this, but she thought that it was Chinese New Year and she wanted to be harmonious, so she didn't say it. Instead, she smiled and replied, "I don't know. She is a very independent child. If something happens, it must be urgent."
"What's so urgent that you can't go home for the New Year?
I'm not saying anything bad about you, sister-in-law. When Nan Ye, Nan Xuan and Nan Zhi were young, they lacked discipline. It's a rare occasion that you and your brother are at home, so you must take good care of them. What's the big deal that you don't go home for the New Year?
Although it is said that girls will get married in the future and will not spend the New Year at home, but now she is not married yet and she is running away. It will not sound good if the news gets out."
What this means is that Lin Nanzhi went out to fool around, and if others find out, it will be bad for his reputation and no one will want him in the future.
He also said that this was all because Lin's mother did not discipline her child well.
After hearing this, Lin's mother didn't know whether she could tolerate Lin Nanxuan, but she herself couldn't bear it anymore.
With a snap, the chopsticks in her hand broke.
Aunt Lin seemed to have just noticed her: "Hey, Nanxuan, I heard that you have a stable job now. How is your salary? You haven't even graduated from junior high school, so it's amazing that you have a stable job."
Lin Nanxuan was extremely angry. Just as she was about to speak, she was pulled back by Lin Nanye. She looked at Lin Nanye feeling very aggrieved and thought that Lin Nanye was trying to protect his aunt.
Unexpectedly, Lin Nanye said directly: "Second Aunt, you don't have to worry about this. My daughter Xuanxuan was able to pass the civil service exam and get a stable job. That was naturally her ability.
Our child Zhizhi is also very capable. He was able to make money at a very young age. He must be busy making money now and cannot come back.
In fact, I am very grateful to my mother. If it weren't for her, none of us would be so successful.
By the way, Auntie, do you have any plans for your son Haohao in the future?"
Every word Lin Nanye said pierced Aunt Lin's heart.
She is Lin Nanye's biological aunt, but Lin Nanye calls her second aunt and calls that unrelated woman mother, clearly distinguishing between close and distant relatives.
Lin Nanhao, the eldest son in her family, had just graduated from junior high school and later went to a vocational school, but he had a girlfriend. Both of them were young, full of energy, and didn't understand those things, so they just did whatever they wanted.
Now, the girl got pregnant but Lin Nanhao refused to take responsibility. In fact, the girl didn't want him to take responsibility, but just wanted him to give her some money for an abortion. However, Lin Nanhao was unwilling to do so for the sake of a few thousand dollars. As a result, the girl's parents found out, went to her house, beat her up, and then sued Lin Nanhao directly.
Unfortunately, Lin Nanhao is over sixteen and can pay for his actions, while the girl is less than sixteen.
Uncle Lin had no choice but to call home and tell Lin's father about the incident. He said that the girl's family demanded $300,000 after the lawsuit, otherwise the matter could not be resolved and Lin Nanhao would have to be sent to jail.
Lin Nanhao and his youngest daughter Lin Nanping have average grades, but his second son Lin Nanze is a bright prospect and always ranks first in his grade in every exam.
Father Lin had always been optimistic about him, and was afraid that he would be ruined by Lin Nanhao, so he kept analyzing the situation with Uncle Lin, and finally paid 150,000 yuan to Uncle Lin's family, which made the girl's family withdraw the lawsuit, and the matter was settled.
Now that Lin Nanye mentioned this, Aunt Lin Er thought of this matter and her face looked very ugly.
