Lin Jinyong felt as if he was watching a large pile of silver taels grow wings and fly away with a "whoosh" sound, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He wanted to say more, but was pulled by Lin Jinyin, who said in a low voice, "Fourth sister, these things are not for us to worry about, let's go see Father." In the past few days, Lin Jinyong had been confined at home and couldn't come to visit Lin SanYe, who was hiding away in shame and didn't dare to come out. Now that he had finally left the house, he should at least go take a look, or else he would be accused of being unfilial.

  Lin Jinyong had an attitude of being able to see or not see, indifferent towards Lin San Ye, but she still remembered another thing and followed Lin Jinyin out the door, first asking her: "I haven't been able to come out these days, I don't know how Mother's conflict with Grandmother will be handled after Aunt left?"

  Lin Jinyan sighed: "I don't know either, I asked my mother, she seemed to be not worried at all, just said that she had a way, and told us not to worry."

  The two sisters did not know that Tao had become pregnant again. Lin Jinrong was curious: "What method?"

  Lin Jinyan said: "I don't know, she didn't say. But I see that Gong Mama and others are all confident, and my aunt is not in a hurry."

  Isn't it Wu who gave Tao advice? Wu dares to leave, so there shouldn't be any major issues. Lin Jinyong also stopped worrying about this matter and asked Lin Jin in a low voice: "Tonight is the grandmother's farewell dinner for her sister-in-law, and all the older brothers have gone out to play. Father must be too embarrassed to show his face, then who will entertain Big Brother?"

  Lin Jin-yin felt a bit embarrassed: "I heard it was Grandfather, Eldest Uncle and the others, Seventh Brother also attended. The embarrassing thing is that her grandfather still supported her, but her own father didn't dare to show up because of that reason."

  "Where is Big Brother now?" Lin Jinrong asked. "This time he came to see his sister, I'm afraid they haven't exchanged a word yet."

  Lin Jianyin hastily glanced around, covering Lin Jianrong's mouth with a handkerchief and whispered: "Don't spout nonsense! Not seeing is the right reason. How do I know where he is?" Although she said so, her eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy and shyness that couldn't be concealed.

  Lin Jinyong suddenly realized that Lin Jinyong not only knew where Tao Fengtang was, but also met and talked to him. He didn't expose the truth, but sighed: "It's because of Big Brother's help last time, I wanted to personally bid him farewell, and also sent things and entrusted someone with a message, and even blew a whistle for a while. It's a pity that it was hard to come out this time and couldn't see anyone."

  Lin Jinyan lowered her eyes and didn't speak, only urging her: "Hurry up, later Father might be asleep." As soon as she finished speaking, she quickened her pace.

  Lin Jinrong saw the situation, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he also quickened his pace. Lin Sanlao was injured on the head and didn't want to go out to greet the guests, but Tao Fengtang couldn't not come to visit her future father-in-law and uncle. At this time, Tao Fengtang must be in Lin Sanlao's room saying goodbye! Tao let Lin Jinrong accompany herself to visit Lin Sanlao, wasn't it also considerate of the two young people?

  Lin Jin saw her sister on the way, smiled with pursed lips, and the two sisters held hands, only to hurry along with their heads down. Lin San's old residence was not far from the Tao family, and after a while, they arrived. From afar, Lin Jin saw several maids standing under the porch with their hands hanging down, and she felt relieved. According to Lin San's habit, there must be guests in the house at this time!

  As expected, the two sisters had just entered the yard when they heard Tao Fengtang say from inside: "Uncle, rest assured and take care of yourself. I'll leave now and won't disturb you again tomorrow!"

  "Ahem, ahem... I'm afraid I've caught a bad cold. Forgive me, my dear nephew. Please apologize to your mother on my behalf and give your father my regards."

  Lin Jianrong and Lin Jianyin are both speechless, with a cold wind. Now everyone in the Lin family knows that he beat up Old Master Lin until his head was bleeding, and yet he's still pretending to be innocent. However, if Third Master Lin didn't do this kind of thing, covering up his nose and deceiving people's eyes, then he wouldn't be Third Master Lin.

  Lin Jinrong thought that Lin Jinyan was too embarrassed to speak up, so she simply instructed Lychee: "When my eldest brother comes out, tell him that I have something to ask him to bring to Uncle Lao, and trouble him to wait for a moment."

  Lychee smiled and nodded in response. The two sisters then solemnly called out to inform someone, after which Old Master Lin San summoned them. Tao Fengtang came out, exchanged a slight smile and nod with the two of them, and then stood aside. Lin Jinyan wanted to look at him but felt too embarrassed, so she kept her gaze fixed on the front and stiffly followed Lin Jinrong into the inner room.

  Lin Jinyong couldn't help but laugh at the side, mischievously winked at Tao Fengtang, only to see Tao Fengtang with a serious expression, as if looking down at her own shoe tip, coincidentally saw Lin Jinyong's eye signal, and secretly made a gesture, pretending to hit her.

  Let's just get this over with! Lin Jinrong was in a great mood, to the point where she didn't even mind seeing Old Master Lin San as much. She curiously looked at what had become of him and saw that his room, which had a traditional Chinese painting hanging on the wall and was tidy and organized, had a strong smell of medicine coming from it. Old Master Lin San was lying in bed with his back to her and her sister, the curtains half-drawn, and she could vaguely see that he had a white cloth wrapped around his head. Huang Yiniang was standing beside him, with a small table next to her holding a bowl of dark medicine.

  Lin Jinyong snorted in disdain, thinking to himself: "These thirty or forty-year-old old men, can't they even take their medicine without being coaxed by a concubine? No wonder his own wife couldn't win his favor, how disgusting." But on the surface, he maintained a solemn expression and followed Lin Jinyong's lead in paying respects, asking after each other's well-being in unison.

  Mr. Lin also had nothing to say to his daughter, and only scolded Lin Jiren a few words in a tone of voice, asking her to repent sincerely, respect the elderly, love the young, be virtuous and obedient, and also entrusted Lin Jin with teaching her younger sister and brother well, and let them withdraw.

  Lin Jinrong felt wronged, and being scolded in front of outsiders was just for show. Now that there were no outsiders around, it meant he truly didn't care. Lin Jinrong was very angry, but as a child doesn't speak ill of his father, he could only sulk with a dark face. Lin Jinrong, however, wasn't bothered, having no other thoughts in her mind, not considering him as her father, so she didn't take it to heart, just like the wind passing over the mountain, or the moon leaving no trace.

  The two of them walked out of the room, but saw Tao Fengtang still standing under the lamp in the corridor, looking over here with his neck stretched. Lin Jiren then pulled her sister's hand and walked towards Tao Fengtang, first chattering randomly for a while, until Lin Jianyun and Tao Fengtang had enough of staring at each other. Then, he became serious and said: "Big brother, I have something to entrust you with."

  Tao Fengtang smiled and said: "Go ahead."

  "I just heard my mother say that she wants to ask Auntie to exchange some gold and silver, to buy some things for me..." Lin Jinrong slowly recited her excuse.

  "This isn't our own territory, it's not good to let Huang Niang hear about it. Lin Jin-yin hurriedly went to intercept Lin Jin-rong: "Didn't mother just say that we shouldn't interfere? What do you want to do? Let's go out and talk!"

  Sister is fine, just a bit timid, but it's not her fault, she was more sensible and capable than herself in her past life. If she hadn't gone through this experience, how would she dare to be so reckless? Lin Jiran deliberately chose this place to speak, who made the Tao family not listen to advice? It seems that other plans need to be made.

  "It's raining outside, I'm talking about serious business!" Lin Jinrong pretended not to understand Lin Jinyu's hint and continued to beg in a low voice: "I am still young, Seventh Brother is also small, there will be many opportunities to use money in the future, Mother's dowry is limited, it would be good to exchange for more. Why not? I'm not asking you to disobey your elders, nor do I want Big Brother to go against his elders. I just want to ask Big Brother to help me exchange the dozens of taels of gold in my hand for silver and store them. When spring comes next year and taxes are due, we can take a look. If it really works out, then you can help me earn some... if not, then consider it as me being mischievous and tolerate me this once."

  If Tao Fengtang really had the ability to make money on her own as Wu said, she should have seen the business opportunity and dared to take a risk. She didn't expect them to believe in her much, just a little bit would do, even if they weren't willing to listen to her, at least they could help her this once, and then she could make a start. After all, you can't swallow a big bun in one bite. At this point, Lin Jirong began to hate herself for being a woman, if she were a man, why would she need to ask others for everything?

  Lin Jinyan's face turned red with shame and embarrassment. How could her sister cry in front of the Tao family? It was too humiliating! She scolded, "You're so unreasonable! If you didn't have money, you could've told Mother or me. Why did you do this?" This was not only her uncle's house but also her future husband's home. However, she bore the Lin surname and was a daughter of the Lin family. The Lin family had dignity, and therefore, she did too.

  Lin Jianrong looked up at Lin Jianyin and said calmly, "Because I know that Uncle and Auntie, as well as Brother-in-law, have always treated us with the best intentions. I don't consider them outsiders. I want to save face, but also grasp the substance. Sister doesn't understand why I'm angry, I don't blame her, but this is something I must do. If Brother-in-law won't help me, then I'll go find someone else!"

  Tao Fengtang's eyes flashed and she directly grasped the key point: "You said you heard people talking from outside Liting House?"

  Lin Jin looked at him directly, nodded without a doubt, and lowered his voice: "I don't know who said it, but it's true. Otherwise, how would I understand this?" Then he smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's just that I want to help my mother worry less, and I'm thinking wildly, what if the adults already knew about it earlier? But, big brother, the silver price only rises and doesn't fall, if you're not in a hurry to use it, waiting a bit longer won't hurt. If you buy more when the silver price is low and exchange it when the price is high, won't you make a lot of money?"

  Tao Fengtang touched his head, this is indeed true. But such a message that seems to be but not quite, originally can't be taken as true, otherwise with the Tao family's power in Qingzhou and the Lin family's power in Pingzhou, it's impossible not to know any wind. And how much money would it take to store silver on a large scale? Some goods still need to be sold off, this decision is something that even Father needs to think thrice before daring to make, can't be done by oneself. Forget it, just humor little sister-in-law and watch over the silver for her, it won't decrease anyway. Having made up his mind, he said: "It's your money, do what you want with it. I promise you."

  Lin Jianrong understood as soon as he heard this, that it was a big deal that didn't work out, and even if it were a small matter, others would still think it's just teasing a child.
