“Deng Shi couldn’t stand it and gave her uncle and cousin a tael of silver before they left. Lin Lanhua saw that.”
Lin Lanhua’s body trembled, and sweat dripped down her forehead.
Second Uncle Lin frowned when he heard that.
His wife gave money to her maternal uncle and cousin?
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Second Uncle Lin’s expression and a look of disdain flashed across her face.
“Lin Lanhua also overheard the conversation between the three of them. She learned that Deng Shi was engaged to her cousin before she married you.” Second Uncle Lin’s face instantly darkened.
“Heh, at that time, Deng Shi’s uncle didn’t manage to borrow money from the Lin family, so he was very angry. If they knew that Deng Shi would marry into such a family, they might as well let her and her cousin get married back then.” Everyone immediately looked at Second Uncle Lin.
Second Uncle Lin clenched his fists, wishing he could immediately go home and give his wife a beating.
Lin Xiaoyue continued.
“However, Deng Shi loved you. She told her uncle not to spout nonsense and even said that you were the one who gave them the tael of silver.”
Second Uncle Lin was stunned.
“Lin Lanhua didn’t think so after hearing it. She thought that she had something on Deng Shi, forcing her to pay to keep her mouth shut.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Lin Lanhua.
“How smart. She turned Deng Shi into her source of income.”
“All these years, almost all the money she saved up has gone into her pocket.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled as she looked at Second UncleLin, who was frozen.
“Deng Shi said that you were the one who gave the money, it’s not exactly wrong. Didn’t you earn all the money you gave her?”
Second Uncle Lin’s expression changed drastically, and he almost staggered. He did give her money all these years. He didn’t even know the exact amount. However, he knew that it was not little.
When he occasionally needed money, he would ask Deng Shi for money and she always refused.
He thought that she was saving money. Now that he thought about it, perhaps she really did not have any money on hand.
The money that he, Dashan, and Xiaoshan had worked so hard to earn was gone? And it went into his youngest sister’s pocket?
Second Uncle Lin could barely catch his breath.
Just this thought alone made him feel a little suffocated.
First Uncle Lin looked at his brother’s reaction and felt a little lucky.
If what Lin Xiaoyue said was true, then his family didn’t have any money at all…
Lin Xiaoyue retracted her gaze from Second Uncle Lin in satisfaction and looked at First Uncle Lin again.
“Also, about your children going to the academy…” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
Lin Xiaoyue continued, “back then, um…when Lin Yuanshan failed his first exam, Lin Dachui actually considered it.”
“Although he didn’t plan to let everyone go, Lin Dachui’s idea at that time was to let one child from each of your families go.” As for Lin Xiaoyue’s family, Xiaozhi was only three years old at that time and was not considered.
“It’s a pity. After Lin Lanhua heard him and Old Madam Lin discussing this matter, she immediately went to tell Lin Yuanshan about it.”
“Lin Yuanshan…hehe, he’s determined to be the only hope of the Lin family, so of course he wouldn’t let that happen.”
“So, he gave Lin Lanhua some benefits and the two of them went to talk to Old
Madam Lin. He convinced her to change her mind..”
