"Third brother, you're a teacher, your salary isn't high, and you don't have any children, so we're leaving you a few more houses. You can live in them if you want, or sell them if you don't. It's up to you."
Finally, there's the issue of shares. The fourth brother managed the group and made the most contributions, so he gets the lion's share; the rest of you get smaller shares. However…”
Lin Shuyu paused for a moment, then said irritably, "I will make a will later. If you really marry into the Lin family and your household registration is no longer with the Lin family, I will take back the shares."
This was a last-minute decision he made. If his son were to marry into another family, Lin Shuyu felt like he would crawl out of the ground and die. What use would a son be? In the end, he would still be born to someone else's family! It would be better to have a daughter. Maybe when a daughter grows up, she can get a son for free.
The reason he hasn't taken any action yet is because Lin Shuyu is a bit stubborn; he doesn't want to hand over the company to outsiders, but he doesn't trust his eldest and second sons, so in the end, he still has to rely on his youngest son. This makes him feel both frustrated and angry.
We should try to avoid seeing these unfortunate kids as much as possible in the future. They could have lived to be over a hundred, but if they upset us a few times, they might die in a couple of years. It's not worth it.
"Alright, you can look up the other details yourselves when you get back. Now you can all go."
After saying that, he walked out of the pavilion with his hands behind his back and slowly left without looking back at his children.
Lin Shuyu left, and the four of them stared at the agreement in their hands for a few moments without saying a word.
After three to five minutes, Lin Zhan walked over to his younger brother and said, "Xiao Shen, you should reconsider the matter of marrying into the family. We can't let Dad take back these shares for you."
Lin Shen said calmly, "I know what I'm doing."
If the Xia family really wanted Lin Shen to marry into the family, Lin Shen wouldn't object. But actually, Wen Xi didn't ask him anything. On the contrary, it seemed like his father felt that he already had one foot in the Xia family's door.
Seeing his younger brother's indifferent expression, Lin Zhan blurted out his thoughts in his anxiety. Even if he hadn't said it, everyone knew what he was anxious about.
"What will happen to the company if you quit? I finally have so many shares. I can only get more dividends if the company does well. What if the company disappears and I'm left penniless?"
This was like the sky falling for Lin Zhan. He had even envied his sister just now. How nice the house was! Even if he didn't live there himself, he could rent it out or sell it.
Lin Ji sighed and said, "Second Brother, Xiao Shen is also very tired and under a lot of pressure managing the company. Why are you saying such things?"
"We're brothers, what can't we say? Don't you think so, brother?"
Lin Yu knew that his younger brother was lazy and good-for-nothing, and although he was used to it, it didn't stop him from being speechless.
"It's getting late, let's go back. Let's go back to the old house together tomorrow, and tell Mom about what happened today."
After leaving the resort, Lin Shen called Xia Wenxi and told her everything that had happened that day, without holding anything back.
Xia Wenxi was so shocked by Lin Shuyu's words that she couldn't speak for a long time.
"What kind of image do you have of me in your dad's eyes now? A femme fatale?"
Xia Wenxi wondered if Lin Shuyu would spit in her face and yell at her if he ever saw her again: "It's all your fault, you bad woman, for seducing my best son away!"
Lin Shen bluntly stated, "His opinion is not important at all."
"But to be honest, I never said I wanted you to marry into my family."
Xia Wenxi also admired Lin Shuyu's imagination. What was he thinking? Did being loyal to a relationship mean marrying into the family? Was being a playboy who toyed with women the only way to avoid being manipulated by them?
Lin Shen chuckled, "Yes, I know. Let's not talk about him. What did you do today?"
Xia Wenxi is still lying in bed. She went out for a long time today, which can be considered a high-intensity training session.
“I went to the mall with my mom to pick out a gift for Minghuan’s parents. We’re going out again tomorrow. My mom said we should prepare some local specialties so we can go to the old town tomorrow.”
The mother and daughter went today. After returning, Xia Wenxi was listless, while Ke Shurong was full of energy and didn't seem tired at all.
Of course, Xia Hengyuan's absence doesn't mean he was idle.
"My mom thinks my dad has terrible taste and won't let him go shopping with her. She wants him to stay home and plan the trip, but I want to switch with my dad tomorrow. I'm really too tired to walk anymore."
Hearing Xia Wenxi's tone, Lin Shen smiled again, "Wenxi, have you considered increasing your exercise?"
"No."
Xia Wenxi answered without hesitation, but then quickly thought of her recent weight gain...
He sighed inwardly, his confidence waning.
She paused for a moment and then changed her mind, saying, "I'll go for a run when I have time."
Lin Shen could tell she was reluctant, but exercise wasn't a bad thing, and he couldn't just refuse to exercise if he didn't want to.
However, some suggestions were still offered: "You can start with walking. Go for a stroll after dinner in the evening, and then gradually move on to jogging. But since the weather is cold now, you can wait until spring to start."
Xia Wenxi couldn't help but laugh, "You, I thought you were going to persuade me to exercise more, but aren't you just giving me an excuse to be lazy? There's still a long time until spring."
"It's not a bad thing to have a little extra fat in winter."
As if it were a timely remark, just as Lin Shen's words came over, Xia Wenxi heard her aunt knocking on the door and calling her to have dinner.
"You're right. I'm going to eat now. Bye."
Xia Wenxi hung up the phone, got up and went out.
It's really cold outside right now, and it gets dark early. Going out for a walk under these conditions makes you feel like you're living a miserable life...
So she decided to just walk slowly on the treadmill in her home gym; she really didn't want to be worse off than her parents or children anymore.
At the dinner table, Xia Wenxi told her parents that she wanted to switch places with her dad tomorrow, so he could accompany her mom shopping while she stayed home to plan the trip.
Ko Shu-jung readily agreed to this request.
After all, it's about buying local specialties, so aesthetic taste isn't that important.
"Xiao Bao, you're going to visit Xiao Shen's family for the New Year, so you'll need to prepare a gift. There are a lot of people in his family, so you'll need to buy a lot. You need to prepare in advance."
"Mmm." Xia Wenxi nodded. "I've been thinking about it. Don't worry."
Xia Hengyuan said worriedly, "I don't know if Lin Shuyu will come back then. Should Dad go with you?"
"What's wrong with you? Your father even came along the first time you visited. How can you do that? People will think you're eager to marry off your daughter!"
"Well... I haven't asked Lin Shen yet. I'll ask him later. But even if he comes back, it shouldn't be a big deal. He can't do anything to me anyway."
No one is afraid of Lin Shuyu. At most, the situation will be a little awkward. He can't hit anyone, can he?
Xia Hengyuan still shook his head, "Such a good child, stuck with a father like this. You two must make sure your children don't turn out like their grandfather!"
