Chapter 262: The Eloquent Lin Yuanshan

Thinking about it this way, she really did not want to live with her mother-in-law just for the money.

“You’re still spending your family’s money to go to school now. How are you going to support your parents?” Deng Shi suddenly said.

“You’re smart. You know that Lanhua is at the age to get married, which means you will exchange her for the betrothal money.”

When Deng Shi said this, their expressions changed.

“Lanhua took 28 taels of silver from us. I have no objections if you want to take her, but you have to pay me back!” Second Uncle Lin immediately said.

Lin Lanhua’s expression changed and she quickly looked at Lin Yuanshan.

Lin Yuanshan frowned.

Yes, he wanted to take Lin Lanhua because he wanted to exchange her for a betrothal gift in the future.

But now…

“The family hasn’t split up yet, so you shouldn’t have any personal savings. That money should belong to father and mother.”

As soon as these words were said, Deng Shi was almost fuming with anger.

“Yes! If we were not separated yet, you should give me all the money! Lanhua is my daughter, so the betrothal gift is also mine!” Old Madam Lin suddenly said.

Lin Yuanshan looked at Second Uncle Lin, who was so angry that he couldn’t speak.

“Think about the family. If Lanhua didn’t do this, who would have known that Deng Shi had secretly saved up more than 20 taels of silver?”

Lin Yuanshan spoke before Second Uncle Lin could.

“Alright, since we’ve come to this point today. Let’s talk about it openly.”

“If you want father and mother to divide the family’s money, that’s fine. Then, according to what I said, each household should give two taels of silver to father and mother every month. Then, when they are sick and need medication, we will split the bill evenly.”

“As for Deng Shi, you’re worried that I won’t pay…” Lin Yuanshan looked at Deng Shi.

“Don’t worry, even if I have to sell the land, I will still give the money to my parents. Also, at most, I’ll work at the town’s bookstore. I can also earn money!”

“If you’re not willing to give them allowance, then leave the money for them.”

They all looked at each other conflicted.

They did not know how much money Old Madam Lin had.

The old lady also favored Lin Yuanshan. Even if she had a lot of money, she would probably not let them know. Perhaps they would only take out a small portion of it.

In that case, they would rather not take it to save 2 taels of silver a month.

That would be 24 taels a year.

The money they receive might not be much more than this amount.

“Fine! But mother, you have to get me a wife!” Fourth Uncle Lin suddenly said.

In an instant, everyone looked at Old Madam Lin.

“Everyone has a wife! Why should I be single?”

Old Madam Lin glared at Fourth Uncle Lin angrily.

“You good-for-nothing!” She cursed at him.

Before she could continue, she saw Lin Yuanshan give her a look.

Only then did she shut her mouth.

“I’ll give you 10 taels of silver. Do it yourself!”

Fourth Uncle Lin was not convinced.

He was about to speak when Lin Yuanshan interrupted him.

“You said it yourself. Since you’re not picky, 10 taels of silver is enough.”

“If you want to push further, you might not even get 10 taels of silver,” Lin Yuanshan said with a dark face.

Fourth Uncle Lin hesitated.

“Fine!” Then, he nodded angrily..
