Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 682: No one owes the other anything

"You, you have no evidence, don't slander me!"

Lin Shuwen's face turned from blue to white and then back to blue. A trace of disbelief quickly appeared on his face, but soon disappeared. He pointed at Lin Wanru and said, "You want to firmly control the Lin family and are reluctant to give up power, so you use such despicable means to frame your second uncle. You don't even have the Lin family in your eyes, and you don't even have me, your second uncle!"

"It is because I still have the Lin family and my second uncle in my eyes that I wanted to suppress this matter..."

Lin Wanru sighed and said, "But after what happened just now After Uncle Er's reminder, Wanru suddenly realized that this Lin family is not my Lin family, nor Uncle Er's Lin family, but everyone's Lin family. Everyone trusts me so much, but Wanru actually wants to be partial to me. I feel really ashamed..."

"As for the evidence..."

Lin Wanru took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve, put them on the table beside her, and said, "These are all evidences of Uncle Er's corruption in the past year. They are written very clearly, and everyone can take a look."

Lin Shuwen grabbed the papers and glanced at them. His face immediately turned pale.

His legs softened, and he knelt on the ground, crying: "Wanru, Wanru, please let me go. It's my second uncle's fault. My second uncle is possessed by a ghost. I beg you, I beg you, don't report me to the police. I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go to jail!"

The second master of the Lin family, who was just righteous and indignant, and always said that he was thinking about the Lin family, was now crying and snotting. He no longer mentioned the splitting of the store, and knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, and almost kowtowed.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. Someone took the papers and glanced at them, and his face changed immediately.

"Second brother, you, how could you..."

"Eighteen thousand taels, the part that was missing was all taken by you!"

"You, you still said Wanru, it turned out to be you!"

Looking at Lin Shuwen's performance, they didn't have to doubt the authenticity of these papers at all, and the hall immediately became an uproar.

Lin Wanru moved slightly and stood on the side of Lin Shuwen, not letting him face her. She looked at everyone and said, "This is our Lin family's family affair. What do you think should be done about this?"

The noisy voice in the hall was slightly reduced. Everyone looked at each other for a few times and did not speak. This matter was really difficult to handle.

Lin Shuwen was a member of the Lin family after all. If he was really sent to the officials, it would be a loss of face for the Lin family and would not be conducive to the stability within the Lin family.

But if it was just revealed and pretended not to see it, it would naturally not convince everyone.

After a while, an old man sighed and said, "Although Shuwen was wrong, he is still a member of my Lin family. There is no need to trouble the government for this matter, right?"

Another man nodded and said, "Uncle San is right. Family disgrace should not be made public. If it is spread out, my Lin family will become a laughing stock in Fengzhou City."

"There is no need to trouble the government. Wanru, what do you think should be done about this matter?" Someone shook his head and looked at Lin Wanru.

Lin Shuwen raised his head suddenly, and a glimmer of hope emerged in his eyes.

Lin Wanru was silent for a while, and said: "Second uncle will not have to worry about the supply of the store in the future. I will slowly deduct the money from the second room..."

"Thank you Wanru, thank you Wanru!"

Lin Shuwen stood up from the ground, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said repeatedly.

Lin Wanru turned his head and looked at the other two: "Third uncle, fourth uncle, you don't have to be busy with the store these two days. I will arrange a new shopkeeper to go there in a few days."

The expressions on the faces of the two men were stunned. They were not the ones who embezzled money, so what did it have to do with them?

"Wanru, this, this is probably not appropriate..."

A man spoke with difficulty, but was interrupted by someone behind him before he finished speaking.

"Let's do it this way. Wanru, you can arrange these things. We will listen to you on business matters."

"Yes, yes, third and fourth uncles, just clean up when I ask you to. Why are there so many problems." As soon as the voice fell, someone else intervened.

"Okay..." Seeing that people kept speaking, the two of them gradually showed despair on their faces, and finally they could only grit their teeth and agree unwillingly.

"I'm busy in the shop. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Lin Wanru glanced at everyone and asked.

"No, no, Wanru, you go and get busy."

"The shop's business is important, it's okay here."

"Remember to inform the government and say it's a misunderstanding..."

Everyone spoke up after hearing this. If it wasn't necessary, they didn't want to stay with her. Even if she stood there without saying anything, it would put an invisible pressure on them...

Today was clearly a big drama of the second room forcing the palace. In the end, the second room, the third room, and the fourth room lost their wives and soldiers, and they were completely unrelated to the Lin family's business. The power of delegation turned into power collection. In the future, her right to speak in the Lin family will only be more important...

Looking at her leaving back, and then looking at Lin Shuwen with cold sweat on her forehead, many people shook their heads secretly. They still underestimated this eldest daughter of the Lin family!

Lin Yong leaned against the door, grinning. Seeing Lin Wanru coming out, he hurriedly followed her.

“Miss, where are you going now?”

Lin Wanru walked through a moon gate and said, “To the store.”

Lin Yong scratched his head and asked in confusion, “Ah, to the store, not to the government office?”

“Why go to the government office if you have nothing to do?” Lin Wanru said as she walked, “A batch of new goods has been delayed for two days, remember to urge them…”

"Won't the government send someone to arrest the second master?" Lin Yong was stunned, but he didn't care much. Of course he wanted to go to the shop instead of the Yamen.

Seeing that meal time was almost here, it would be nice to go to Brother Li's place for a bowl of porridge. To be honest, he had never had such delicious porridge in his life.

Although I don’t care if I am full, after drinking, I feel that my whole body is full of strength, and I can finally raise my head in front of my mother-in-law at night. However, my nose bleeds easily after eating, so I always have to keep a cloth to block it...

In the small courtyard next to Fanglin Garden, the meal time today was a quarter of an hour earlier than usual.

If it's time for dinner and Brother Lin eats two bowls of it, there won't be enough food for the two of them.

These are all money-consuming things. Today is different from the past. A penny has to be split into two halves. With those medicinal materials, Miss Liu Er's body has recovered very well. Now she can walk on her own without support. Of course, now She still can't use her true energy very well and can only be obedient most of the time. Li Yi can do whatever he wants for the time being without worrying about retaliation from her...

However, I have to think of another way to make more money. This time I can't find a jade pendant worth a thousand taels of silver.

When he was worried, there was a knock on the door. Lin Yong was not in the habit of knocking. Li Yi looked up at Lin Wanru and asked, "Has the accounting matter been resolved?"

After all, I have received so many favors from this girl, so doing something for her is considered as repaying the favor.

"solved."

Lin Wanru nodded and said, "Thank you this time."

Without those pieces of paper, this matter would have been a bit troublesome. She had never doubted that there would be so many problems with the accounts that had been verified.

This time, the scholar she picked up really gave her a big surprise.

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, this is the responsibility of Mr. Accountant."

Lin Wanru's face showed a rare smile, and she said: "It's just a temporary measure, you don't need to take it seriously. To be honest, you did solve a big trouble for me this time."

Nearly twenty thousand taels of silver permanently eliminated the instability within the family. A few days ago, Lin Wanru never thought that this picked scholar would be of such great help to her.

Lin Wanru looked at him and said, "I don't like to owe favors. If you have any difficulties, just ask. I will try my best to help you complete whatever I can."

Li Yi looked at her and asked, "Do you really have to thank me?"

Lin Wanru nodded.

"To be honest, I don't really like to owe people favors." Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Actually, in the past, when someone asked me to check accounts, terrible things would happen, and the cost was not small... Forget it this time, you You helped me, and I helped you. We don’t owe each other, how about it?”

Lin Wanru nodded, turned around and walked outside. When she reached the door, she stopped again and turned around to ask.

"I don't know, what do you mean by the terrible things?"

After saying this, he felt that this sentence was a bit redundant. Before Li Yi could answer, he shook his head and turned to leave.

In the courtyard, Li Yi sighed and said leisurely: "The court is unstable, officials are dismissed, homes are confiscated and exiled, and people are killed..."
