The Master Goes Down The Mountain: I Am Not A Son-In-Law

Lin Shangyi, the old man of the Lin family, has been a little restless recently, with a bad appetite and restless sleep.

He has always lived a regular life. He learned a little inner martial arts in his early years and insisted on practicing Taijiquan and Baduanjin all the year round. Although he is over 80, he has always been in good health. His personal doctor said that his heart is healthier than that of ordinary young people. .

But for some reason, during this period of time, I obviously felt that my body was weak, and I was weak, and I lost strength when I moved a little.

He thought that his time was approaching, so he planned to make good arrangements for his affairs while he was still alive. The most important of these is the marriage of the granddaughter.

'That kid from the Li family has been there for so many years, and I don't know what's going on? '

Every evening, Lin Shangyi was used to going out for a walk, but he couldn't walk for a short distance today.

"Master, let's go back." Lin Chanming, the housekeeper who was beside him, said.

There are several housekeepers in Lin's residence, Lin Chanming is the manager, but he doesn't care about specific affairs, he is only responsible for Lin Shangyi's daily life and food. With Lin Chanming by his side, Lin Shangyi was relieved, and everyone in the Lin family was also relieved.

"Cicada, you have been with me for more than ten years."

Lin Chanming was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Lin Shangyi suddenly mentioned this, "Yes, it has been sixteen years."

"It's been sixteen years, and you're old too." Lin Shangyi said with emotion, "It's impossible for people to refuse to accept old age!"

"Master, what's the matter?"

"For so many years, it's been hard for you to follow me. Have you ever thought about starting a business by yourself?"

Lin Chanming shook his head: "Master treats me well, Chanming is willing to follow around, without any second thoughts!"

"Haha, you're overthinking." Lin Shangyi laughed heartily, "I'm old, and I'm leaving sooner or later. I'm leaving, and you're still following me."

"master……"

Lin Shangyi waved his hand to stop Lin Chanming from continuing, "You and I are not outsiders, so I won't say those clichés. People are mortal, and there are many taboos. A few years ago, I bought a small island in the East China Sea and developed it. It should be almost the same. I know you don’t want to be with ordinary people, so how about going to the East China Sea to be the owner of Peach Blossom Island?”

Lin Chanming hurriedly said, "Thank you, master."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me." Lin Shangyi said, "I still want to ask you for a favor."

"Sir, please tell me."

"The catastrophe of the Lin family more than 20 years ago, I still have lingering fears when I think about it. Now the Lin family seems to be thriving, but there are many internal and external troubles. Once I die, I am afraid it will explode. I want to ask for your help. , after my death, within three years, you must protect the descendants of my Lin family."

"Don't worry, master, this is what I should do."

"One more thing, there is a man named Li Muchen..." Lin Shangyi paused, then turned around and said, "Let's go, I'll tell you about this matter when I get back."

The two walked back, and when they reached the gate of the villa area, the security guard saw the old man coming back, saluted him, bowed and said, "The old man came back so early today?"

Lin Shangyi has always been easy-going towards the people below, and said with a smile: "I'm old, I can't walk anymore."

The security guard said: "Master Lin treats us servants and poor relatives from the countryside so well. He is a very good person. My mother told me since I was a child that good people can live a long life."

Lin Shangyi laughed loudly: "There is no such thing as a long life. No matter how much you flatter me, it will not change the fate of my old horse."

Suddenly thought of something, turned to look at the security guard and asked, "What did you say about poor relatives?"

The security guard said: "Isn't it that poor people often come to us to seek relatives? You also told us to be polite to them. Did you forget? Isn't there a little Taoist priest coming today?"

Lin Shangyi was very happy, and patted the security guard on the shoulder, "You did the right thing. A poor man should not be short-sighted, and a rich man should not forget his roots. Do a lot of good deeds, and after three generations, your descendants will also be rich."

The security guard smiled naively: "Da Fu doesn't dare to think about it, but Xiao Fu will do, hehe."

Just as Lin Shangyi was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something. He was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and asked, "You just said little Taoist, what little Taoist?"

The security guard said: "Today, a young man dressed like a Taoist priest came to see you by name. He said he was your relative. His name seemed to be Li Hechen."

"What did you say his name was?" Lin Shangyi put away his smile and asked sharply.

The security guard didn't know why Lin Shangyi was suddenly upset, and he was taken aback, "His name is Li Mucheng, yes, Li Mucheng, and Steward Luo received him."

"Where are people?"

"gone."

Lin Shangyi was furious and shouted: "Call me Luo Mingsha!"

The security guard's heart skipped a beat. The old man of the Lin family was usually kind and amiable, but once he threatened him, no one would be afraid.

Is this man surnamed Li a liar?

Alas, it looks like bad luck for offending the old man, and also implicating Butler Luo.

...

Lin Qiusheng didn't know what happened at home, the old man hurriedly called him home.

Recently, the constant business situation has caused him to be overwhelmed, and he really doesn't care about family affairs at all.

Back at the old man's residence, his wife Yan Huimin, his son Lin Yun, his cousin Lin Laifeng, and his nephew Lin Shaoheng had already arrived. Except for his daughter Lin Manqing, who was studying in Qiantang University, and his nephew Lin Shaoping, who was studying abroad, the main figures of the Lin family were all here. .

Lin Qiusheng felt that the atmosphere was not right. After he entered the door, no one greeted him, not even his wife, and everyone was silent.

While the old man sitting on the sofa seemed calm, but there was anger on his face, he should have just lost his temper.

Could it be that the old man knew about the recent setbacks in business?

"Dad, what happened?" Lin Qiusheng asked a little nervously.

"Then I have to ask your wife," the old man suddenly became angry, and his voice was like thunder, "Ask her what good deed she has done!"

Mrs. Lin trembled with fright, lowered her head, and sobbed.

Lin Qiusheng didn't understand why his father was so angry, so he went over to ask his wife.

While crying, Mrs. Lin told about the day's events and concealed some details.

"I think, if you give him two million, you won't treat him badly. He and our Manqing have never met before, and he just came to our door like this. Manqing will definitely not accept it. Besides, our daughter of the Lin family, how come Can marry a poor boy from the mountains, spread the word..."

Lin Qiusheng understood. Of course he knew about his daughter's marriage contract since she was a child, but he never took it to heart, thinking it was a joke.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, people really came to the door.

"You said you too, why didn't you tell Dad, and just made up your own mind."

"Isn't Dad not in good health recently? I think, this little thing, don't bother Dad. And the marriage contract was set by Dad back then. Dad is a person who wants to save face. Some things, we should be children to share Dad's worries. .”

What Mrs. Lin said was reasonable, and it could be said that nothing leaked, and the way she was sobbing aroused the sympathy of the people present.

Lin Qiusheng also felt that his wife had done the right thing, and his father was a little confused.

But he didn't dare to contradict his father, and looked at his cousin Lin Laifeng as if asking for help.

Lin Laifeng was his uncle's son, and because his uncle died early, the old man felt guilty, so speaking in front of the old man was sometimes easier than Lin Qiusheng.

Lin Laifeng coughed softly:

"That's right, Uncle, what Hui Min said makes sense, not to mention that this family is not a good family, but that the two of them have never met before, how can Man Qing accept it? You are not ignorant of Man Qing's temper."

Lin Qiusheng glanced at his cousin gratefully, and felt that it was almost done with his help, so he took a step forward and said, "Dad..."

Unexpectedly, just as he opened his mouth, Lin Shangyi suddenly stood up, grabbed the teapot on the table, and threw it out forcefully.

With a crisp snap, the purple clay pot fell to pieces.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This purple clay pot is made by famous masters, it is expensive, and it is also the favorite of the old man. Even the purple clay pot fell, which shows how angry the old man is.

No one dared to speak now.

"Poor boy?" Lin Shangyi sneered, "What's the matter with the poor? Open the genealogy and dig up three generations. Who has never been poor? Your old Yan's family has never been poor?"

"I, Lin Shangyi, was also poor back then! When I was in trouble, I couldn't even get enough to eat. If I were like you, would I be able to marry your mother?"

"Master, don't be angry, there's nothing wrong with it." Lin Chanming, who was standing behind Lin Shangyi, persuaded softly.

"It's not that I'm angry, it's that these unworthy bastards are too disappointing!" Lin Shangyi pointed at the people in the living room with trembling fingers, "I'm running out of time, if I leave, who of you can take over such a big family fortune?" ? Drive away Li Muchen, you will regret it!"

"Dad..." Lin Qiusheng didn't understand the relationship between whether he could take over the family business and this man named Li Muchen. The old man was confused, but he didn't dare to say that. He just asked, "Say, how can we Do it, so you can calm down?"

"Look! Look for it, mobilize everyone, and don't bring him back," Mr. Lin pointed at Lin Qiusheng, "Don't be the head of this family anymore, and tell your wife to go back to Meicheng."

This last sentence almost made Yan Huimin collapse on the ground.
