As soon as Lin Dan settled Qi's family, a group of people came outside the inn, clamoring for her. The shopkeeper was afraid that these people would destroy his store when they made trouble, so he stopped him from entering. Even if they couldn't get in, these people stood outside the door and cried, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.
Lin Dan opened the window to take a peek, and found that the leader was an old woman, wearing white washed clothes and no pearls on her head, looking very depressed. Yan Yikuan supported her next to her, calling out "mother" one by one, seeming to be extremely sad.
It seems that this is Yan Bo's wife, Lin Baotian's wife, Lin Dan should also call her a teacher. But this honorific title Lin Dan is really hard to say, just because what the old woman is doing now is enough to knock Lin Dan's reputation for Lin Baotian's whitewash down into the abyss.
I saw the old woman beating her chest and howling: "Damn Lin Baotian, you can bully our orphans and widowed mothers, even if you let your daughter bully us! Your daughter said that you are a filial piety for my old man's retirement. Bah! When you say this, do you feel guilty? The old man has been lying on the hospital bed for several months, and he has not even given him a glass of water, let alone Lin Baotian. My son delivered the letter, but he was afraid that he would fight with him for the family property after my son came back. He promised well on the face, and he burned the letter when he went out, so that my son could not come back in time to see his father for the last time. My son is supposed to inherit the family business, what qualifications does he have to stop him? The old man died and no son fell into the basin, so he threatened me with this, and asked me to give him all the money in the family. The old man is buried. What can I do when I am helpless? The old man's coffin is still at home, I can't let him have nowhere to rest..."
The heartbroken look of the old woman made passersby cry. If it goes on like this, Lin Dan's reputation for cleaning up Lin Baotian's reputation will be blackened again.
Qi Shi, who finally closed his eyes, woke up, and said with grief and indignation: "She is talking nonsense! She is talking nonsense! Your master is ill, even if your father wants to send a letter to Yan Yikuan, it is your mistress who is holding him back. She said that Yan Yikuan is about to have a scientific examination, so she can't be distracted. How did she know that your master's condition developed so rapidly, and he was confused after half a month's effort, and he couldn't take care of himself. , I don't even know where it went. Your father took the feces and urine, served the soup and medicine for your master, and then had to support the family. He did all the work inside and outside, and your wife was too dirty and tired to hide away. Far away. When your teacher died, she said that all the money was handed over to her son to study, and she couldn't get any extra money for your teacher's funeral. She cried and begged your father to find a way. In the end, your father took out all the savings and borrowed five Ten taels of lucrative money, that's why your teacher was buried safely. In order to repay the debt, your father didn't take a break. The next day after the burial, he went out to work to earn money, and went all the way to the capital. It's a pity that he didn't leave a certificate, even if we have a hundred mouths, we can't tell!"
Qi opened the package and took out two tablets, crying, "Your father is a good person, but why is there no reward for a good person!"
She also wanted to go out and have a theory with the old woman, but the other party was Lin Baotian's wife, and she raised him since childhood. The seniority and kindness were all there. The more she argued, the more disrespectful and bitter she appeared to be. Mean, but downside down. The ethics of the world are exactly like this—the elders can beat and scold the juniors as they wish, but the juniors cannot disobey even half a cent, and a single word of "filial piety" can crush people to death. Furthermore, she was not articulate, and instead of talking, she was led into a ditch, and in the end she was wronged by her deceased husband.
Compared with the group of people outside, Lin Dan naturally believed in Qi more. Moreover, in her memory, Lin Baotian was indeed a good person, and he had never done anything wrong in his life. Since Lin Dan bears the name of his daughter, he must find a way to maintain his reputation. But arguing and refuting is obviously the last resort. No matter how articulate her mouth is, she has already lost half of her seniority. It is not a glorious thing to quarrel with an elder and win.
"Mother, pack up your baggage, we'll leave the capital now." Lin Dan said with determination, "Give me the tablet, and I'll return it to them."
Without even thinking about it, Mrs Qi handed it over. Before she knew it, her daughter had already become her backbone.
Lin Dan wrapped the tablet in white silk, carefully held it in his arms, and walked downstairs.
"Come out, come out! The mother and daughter of the Lin family are out!" Someone recognized Lin Dan and the Qi family, and quickly shouted loudly. Passersby who were already very interested in this matter gathered more and more to see what happened.
"Okay, you guys are finally willing to come out!" The old woman wiped away her tears and rushed forward, ready to grab the two of them for the theory, and make sure to make their reputation stinky. She is Lin Baotian's mistress and Lin Dan's mistress, so no matter what she says, she will take care of it, not afraid that the mother and daughter will turn the world upside down.
Lin Dan raised the tablet to block it, and when the old woman spread her five fingers to grab her collar, she shoved the tablet into her hand, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said slowly, "Master, my mother and I. This is leaving the capital, you always take care. This is the tablet of the master, please take it back, my mother and I are not qualified to worship his old man again. "
The old woman hated and poisoned the Lin Baotian family, how could she listen carefully to her words, and smashed the things in her hands on the ground without thinking.
Qi Shi exclaimed and hurriedly went to fish, but after all, he was a step slower. After the tablet fell to the ground, it flicked, and the loosely wrapped white silk unraveled, revealing the engraved words on it. Everyone craned their necks to look at it, and found that it was indeed Yan Bo's tablet. Most of the base was blackened, but it didn't look dirty. Instead, a layer of oily light appeared. It can be seen that there are often people offering incense and candles on weekdays, and some people use silk cloth. Wipe finely.
But the tablet, which is so well maintained, is now torn apart by the old woman, what a sin!
Someone next to him immediately scolded: "I even smashed the tablets of my ancestors, aren't you afraid of five thunders from the sky?"
The old woman was blinded when she saw the tablet, and Yan Yikuan couldn't react in time. Mr. Qi took the tablet first and wiped it with a handkerchief. When he touched the gap, his fingertips trembled, showing how restless his heart was.
Lin Dan, who had always been expressionless, finally burst into tears, took the tablet lightly and lightly, wiped it with his sleeve cautiously, and placed it on the steps respectfully, pulling his mother and slamming it three times. He shook his head, and then staggered away.
Both of them had blood on their foreheads, leaving two bright red marks in front of the steps, which was shocking to see. They didn't say a word, but it was better than the old woman's thousand words. The passers-by who were still filled with righteous indignation were silent before, not to mention that they would help the old woman to find Lin Dan and her daughter and teach them a lesson. Right and wrong black and white, who is loyal and who is traitor, only this tablet is enough to see clearly.
"Old, old man!" Only then did the old woman slowly regain her senses, and she slumped on the ground when her legs went limp. Yan Yikuan is neither standing nor kneeling, his face is red and white, so wonderful.
No one noticed that the old butler of Yongding Hou's mansion was standing outside the crowd watching, while the young master was sitting in the teahouse opposite, seeing the farce clearly. Staring at the direction in which Lin Dan's mother and daughter were leaving, he let out a long sigh, and finally took out a few banknotes and handed them over to Chang Sui, asking him to chase.
Lin Dan naturally declined Xiaohou Ye's help. Her intuition told her that only by staying away from Xiaohou Ye and Yan Langqing could she live an An birthday.
Knowing that, he took the bank note back untouched, and Xiaohou Ye had mixed feelings for a while. He thought he knew Lin Dan very well, but only now did he realize that she was so stubborn and so fierce that she had to walk barefoot even knowing that there were thorns in front of her.
When the little Marquis returned home unhappy, the old butler was reporting the situation to the old Marquis one by one: "When the old slave went, the Zhou family was in trouble, attracting many people to watch, one pot after another. The dirty water poured on Chef Lin's head so much that Lin Dan and Mrs Qi didn't dare to show their faces. Seeing that they were talking more and more outrageous, the old slave was about to step forward to stop them, but Lin Dan and Mrs Qi were forced to do nothing. When he came out, he didn't say anything to defend himself. He returned Yan Yuchu's tablet to them, and kowtowed three times to Zhou and the tablet, and they went away. Zhou knew that it was Yan Yuchu's tablet and held it up ruthlessly. Hit the ground hard, and immediately smashed a big hole..."
In fact, the Zhou family didn't even know that it was Yan Bo's tablet. She was scolding fiercely at the time, and Lin Dan deliberately slowed down the pace of speech and lowered the volume, so it was strange that she could distinguish carefully. It's a pity that others paid special attention to Lin Dan's words, so they all knew that the thing wrapped in white silk was Yan Bo's tablet, and naturally they thought that the Zhou family knew.
Hearing this, the old marquis sighed: "Even the deceased husband's tablet was smashed, so it can be seen that the Zhou family was all nonsense before! She really has no affection for Yan Yuchu, how can she take good care of him when he is seriously ill, and even more so. Don't mention her unfilial son. If there were no Baotian, where would the Yan family be today. After all, money is the cause of trouble. These people really see money and their consciences are ruined."
The old butler echoed: "Isn't it! If you don't pour dirty water on Chef Lin, how can they justifiably snatch the golden knife, recipes and restaurants? Chef Lin finally made the name of Yan's cuisine out, and they wanted to pick it up. Ready-made cheap, others are fools, can't see their calculations! No matter how they slander Chef Lin for being unkind, unfaithful and unfilial, this tablet that has been enshrined all year round can silence them. Yan! He really did something to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors. Does Chef Lin dare to offer Master's tablet at home every day? On the contrary, it was Zhou Shi and Yan Yikuan who were so frightened that their legs softened when they saw the tablet. ."
"What kind of person is Baotian? This Marquis knows best. He will never do those evil things. Inheriting the mantle and mantle is not inheriting the family wealth. It is yours if it is given to you. You can spend it as you like. First of all, you must have that strength. It’s not easy to be good, and you’ll see if you have real skills as soon as you hit the stove. Unless the chef Yan Yu is confused, he will pass the mantle to Yan Yikuan, who doesn’t know what to do. Isn’t that smashing his own brand in vain?” The old Houye became more and more angry .
"Isn't that true! The Yan family is sure that Chef Lin is dead and cannot stand up to confront them. Poor Lin Dan and Mrs Qi have no choice but to leave sadly." The old housekeeper shook his head and sighed.
"Send someone to get them back, it's not easy for orphans and widows." The old man couldn't bear it, and finally waved his hands.
The old housekeeper hurriedly went, and the old man found his son standing at the door. He frowned and said: "Go and send Yan Langqing away. Our mansion will not keep these people with corrupt morals. The good cook, Ben Hou Xiang. You can hire as many as you want, no less than her."
The little prince nodded, cupped his hands, and left without saying a word.
Yan Langqing, who was about to stay in the Hou Mansion to show her skills, never dreamed that her grandmother and her father would make a big fuss. Not only did she not restore the reputation of the Yan family, but she also lost her good job.
