Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Fourth Uncle Lin instantly realized that something was wrong. He quickly reached out and grabbed his wife.
Seeing that his wife was so angry that she could not breathe, Fourth Uncle Lin quickly said, “don’t be angry. 1’11 arrange this.”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife stared at her husband.
“What are you going to do? They are leaving tomorrow!”
“l…at worst, I’ll rent a house for father to live in!” Fourth Uncle Lin said anxiously.
His wife almost rolled her eyes in anger.
“Why do you think I’m working so hard now?!”
“Renting a house when we are still in debt?!”
Fourth Uncle Lin quickly soothed his wife.
“Then we’ll do whatever you say! Don’t be angry, or you’ll hurt your body!”
If he had known that his wife would be that angry, he would never have agreed.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife looked at Fourth Uncle Lin. After a while, she suppressed the anger in her heart.
Then, she pushed Fourth Uncle Lin away and sat up straight.
She didn’t even look at Fourth Uncle Lin and continued eating.
As she ate, she couldn’t help but cry.
What kind of sin did she commit? After going through so much trouble, she was finally going to be freed from the Lin family. Now, he had to bring the old master over.
Fourth Uncle Lin looked at his wife and saw her cry. He felt that those tears were hitting his heart, making his heart ache.
“Don’t cry. I’ll go to my brothers now and give them the money from selling the houses. 1’11 ask them to leave with father tomorrow morning.” Fourth Uncle Lin stood up.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife was stunned.
“Wait!” She called out to her husband.
Fourth Uncle Lin stopped and turned to look at his wife.
“Father gave you the money from selling the houses?” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife asked.
How was that possible? Other than trusting Yuanshan and Lanhua, when had the old master ever trusted anyone else?
If he sold his house, the old master would have nothing left.
Can you give them the silver? How could he trust them so much?
“Yes.” Fourth Uncle Lin replied.
“In the beginning, it was my second brother who suggested that father give the money from selling the house to him and eldest brother. Then, second brother and eldest brother would support father in his old age.”
“But father said he didn’t want to leave the village.”
“After that, eldest brother said that father should live with us.”
“So, he gave me the money from selling the houses.” Fourth Uncle Lin said truthfully.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife pondered.
“Father agreed?” She asked.
“Yes.” Fourth Uncle Lin replied.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife thought about it
“How much money did the houses sell for?” She asked Fourth Uncle Lin.
The old master was willing to hand over the money. It seemed that he also wanted to live with them.
According to the personalities of his siblings, if her husband went to see them now, they would not give in.
Instead of fighting them, it was better to give in.
If the old master really wanted to live with them and did not play tricks, it was not impossible for them to support him in his old age.
“42 taels.” Fourth Uncle Lin said truthfully.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife was shocked.
42 taels was not a small amount!
Hesitation flashed in her eyes, and Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife finally said, “sit down and eat. There’s no need to go anymore.”
Fourth Uncle Lin was stunned.
He looked at his wife in confusion.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife looked at her husband angrily.
“It’s useless even if you go. Why waste so much time?”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s face lit up.
“Sure, I’m not going! Whatever you say!” He quickly sat down.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife glanced at the man beside her and continued to eat, “it’s not impossible for father to live with us. But before he comes, I have to make three rules.”
“Otherwise, he will have to leave.”
“At worst, I’ll return his retirement money to him and let him rent or build a house.”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s expression instantly became a little nervous.
“What rules?”
“First, we will be in charge of the household together in the future. We will discuss big and small matters. Father can’t be the master of our household.”
Fourth Uncle Lin nodded.
“Yes! In the future, you can call the shots at home. This way, 1 won’t be in a difficult position.” Fourth Uncle Lin said.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife couldn’t help but laugh.
“You said so yourself.”
Her husband was soft-hearted. If the old master played any tricks, it would be difficult for him to be stuck between her and the old master..
