The Landowner And His Wife Chapter 1: Bankrupt

The sky was dark and pouring rain, and a man galloped down on a brown horse.

Ignoring the mud under my feet, I got off my horse and knocked on the door next to me.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

This is a farm on the outskirts of Jinling City. In front of it is a five-wide gate and a three-entry yard.

The plaque reads "Lin Fu" in two big characters.

This is the residence of the common landowner, Mr. Lin.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

The servant quickly opened the vermilion door.

The man kicked the little servant with one foot: "Go away!"

The boy fell to the ground with a yo-yo, and before he could say "Master", he rolled a long way, covered in mud from the man's feet.

He grinned in pain, got up from the ground and chased the man: "Master! Master!"

The wind was blowing under the man's feet, and he rushed to the inner house eagerly, with a look of anxiety on his face.

"Foster father! Something is bad!"

After passing through the veranda and entering a courtyard, we arrived at the Qingyun Residence of Master Lin.

In the hall, Lin Baozhu was holding a piece of embroidery in her hand. It was embroidered with delicate and blooming peony. She was talking to Mother Lin at the moment.

Master Lin was lying on his back on the reclining chair, closing his eyes and smoking a big cigarette.

Although he is only a commoner, and now there is a war, and the smoke outside is full of gunpowder, he is a small landowner, and he is not affected by the war.

The family is safe and harmonious, and the little days are nourished.

It was just two days ago that his adopted son Lin Dashan suggested that he take advantage of the war to collect gold. After the war, the price of gold would definitely increase and he would make a fortune.

The family's silver bills have been exchanged for gold. Two days have passed, and he feels a little uneasy.

"Foster father! Something is bad!"

Lin Dashan walked in quickly. He had fat ears and an evil spirit in his small eyes.

As soon as Mr. Lin heard his voice, he opened his eyes and sat up: "What's going on? What's wrong?"

The Lin family is a village that exploits farmers by relying on the land left by their ancestors, and has no other talent except to exploit farmers.

His knowledge is short, and this generation of Master Lin has only one daughter, Lin Baozhu, so he recognized a name and helped him take care of the inside and outside since he was a child.

Lin Dashan was wearing a cyan straight jacket, gasping for breath, his body was also wet from the rain, and his trousers were muddy.

The servant hurriedly took a cloth and wiped it for him.

Lin Dashan didn't care about anything else, and after wiping it hastily, he said: "When our two boxes of gold were transported to the Peacock River, they were suddenly confronted by a large army. One was wearing yellow clothes, the other was wearing regular military uniforms, and the other When the Fang people fought, our people were affected, the boxes were trampled by horses and scattered, and the scene was chaotic. The people who robbed the gold were robbing the gold, and the people who hacked people were killed and injured. Only two people escaped..."

"Bang!"

The big cigarette in Mr. Lin's hand fell, and he shouted at him angrily: "Didn't you say that the road is safe? Didn't you say that you asked your friends in the rivers and lakes that there are no robbers in that place!"

He was blushing with anger, and the rest he had just had was completely taken over by panic.

Lin Baozhu stood next to Mother Lin holding the embroidery. When Mother Lin heard that the gold was gone, she stood up and stared at her and asked, "Is it all gone?"

Lin Baozhu is worried, two boxes of gold...

Master Lin was furious. He shouldn't have listened to Dashan's advice in the first place.

Lin Dashan was ashamed, and he knelt down with a plop: "It's the child who didn't think well--"

"My God—this is killing our Lin family—" Mother Lin threw the handkerchief on the table and cried, "Why did you do such an immoral thing—then But everything from our Lin family—"

Mr. Lin's face was ashen, and he sat down on the chair in despair.

I didn't make any money, but I also wiped out everything in my family.

He has been saving money for more than 20 years——

Master Lin felt a pain in his heart, and when he saw Lin Dashan kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, he picked up a folding fan and hit him: "You broom star! Shaman star! I shouldn't listen to you! What kind of gold!"

"Clap clap-"

He slammed Lin Dashan on the head and body with a savage blow, venting his anger with a face full of anger.

Lin Dashan shrank back and let him beat him without resisting.

Lin Baozhu is used to seeing the scene of her father beating up her adopted brother, so she is not surprised.

In the house, Mother Lin burst into tears, and Father Lin was beating and scolding, making a lot of noise.

Lin Baozhu is fourteen this year, and has not yet reached her hairpin. She has a pure and pleasant appearance, fair and plump eyes, big eyes with raised ends, crystal clear inside, pure and soft, nose bridge upturned, and pink and round lips.

Although the hair is not very thick, it is soft and shiny, soft and submissive on both sides, and the hosta is inserted obliquely, setting off the inexhaustible moonlight flow of an oval face.

After thinking for a while, she suggested softly: "Dad, stop first and ask the big brother which heroic man stole our gold, we will go to the door to find their people to come back."

Lin Dashan raised his arm to cover the fan that Mr. Lin was pumping on his body like the rain. Hearing her words, he felt a sigh of relief. He is really a fool who does not go out of his way. People who stole your gold can still give you back. ?

Now there are wars outside~IndoMTL.com~ You go out and people will not treat you...

And the two chests of gold...

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Master Lin was also tired, so he finally kicked Lin Dashan again: "I didn't hear what Baozhu said? Didn't you say who robbed it?"

Lin Dashan got up and muttered, "I, I don't know which two parties are from."

Master Lin was so angry that he kicked him again.

...

I found someone to inquire about the news, and only then did I know that the battle that took place by the Kongque River today was the forces of the rebel Feng Shengyi and the landowner of Jinling, Gu Xiping.

The Gu family is a big family in Jinling, which is fundamentally different from ordinary people like him.

"Master! The people from the Gu family have come to ask for debts!"

Mr. Lin was surprised, what? So fast?

"The Gu family is also in short supply now, and people are urging them to pay back the money quickly!"

He had borrowed 10,000 taels of silver bills from the Gu family to exchange for gold, but he didn't expect people to collect debts so quickly.

"What should I do? Now where can I get the 10,000 taels of money - don't open the door for him!"

"Sir! Here comes-"

Master Lin walked around the house anxiously, Mother Lin took out the embroidered handkerchief and touched her tears, and Lin Baozhu walked around helplessly—

“Bang——”

The door was kicked open, and a middle-aged man wearing a high hat and a blue straight shirt walked in with raised eyebrows. He swept the room, raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Master Lin! Pay back the money!"

"I kindly pledged 10,000 taels of silver notes to you! You turned me away! I want you to return the principal and interest today!"
