Chapter 443: Eldest Uncle Is in Trouble
Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Eldest Uncle Is in Trouble
Lin Xiaoyan found a buffet restaurant with many positive reviews online and a wide variety of dishes, so she booked it directly online.
Lin Cong and Li Yan had never been to a buffet before. As they entered the hotel, they curiously looked around.
Lin Fu: "Congcong, Yanyan, take whatever you want to eat, help yourselves."
Lin Cong: "Okay, Uncle."
They quickly grabbed some food, and Lin Xiaoyan ordered a few more dishes.
This hotel costs three hundred and eighty per person.
"Aunt, you don’t know, my mom keeps calling us, saying there’s no money, no money..."
While eating, Li Yan couldn’t help complaining to Lin Mu.
She met Lin Cong online, and after they got to know each other, she moved into Lin Cong’s house.
Back then, when Lin Fu and Lin Mu learned about it, they specially went home to meet Li Yan and even took her shopping for clothes.
Then she married Lin Cong, and it was Uncle and Aunt who kept busy with everything.
Uncle renovated the house, and Aunt took her shopping.
She has always remembered these kindnesses in her heart.
So, after marriage, no matter what her mother-in-law said about Uncle and Aunt, she never believed it.
She never took her mother-in-law’s side.
Of course, she knew well whether Uncle and Aunt were good or not; she wasn’t a fool.
So, every time she saw Lin Mu, she couldn’t help but share her grievances.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mu immediately said, "Your mom is something. She does this in front of your sister too.
She calls her every day saying there’s no money.
Now she asks you for money as well. Doesn’t she think about how hard you work outside, how difficult it is to earn money?"
Li Yan nodded repeatedly, as Aunt’s words hit home for her.
"Exactly!"
Lin Cong sighed upon hearing this.
"I’m so angry I can’t stand it. I asked my mom, at home, how much could meals and drinks possibly cost?
Doesn’t my dad work?"
Lin Fu smirked, "If your dad dared to take a day off at home, your mom would scold him to death!"
Lin Cong: "Exactly, my dad works all year round every day except for New Year, or when it rains in the fall.
He can’t even have a day’s rest!
My mom is really unreasonable!"
Li Yan: "When I was home earlier, I tried to persuade my dad to take a chill pill at his age, to work less.
But my mom overheard and started yelling at me."
Lin Mu: "That’s just how your mom is, don’t take it to heart."
Li Yan: "Thank goodness the two of us moved out, if we stayed at home, I doubt we could manage."
Fan Lalan listened to Li Yan’s words, feeling relieved that her mother-in-law wasn’t like the others.
Lin Xiaoyan listened on and chimed in occasionally.
Xiao Bo and Nan Xi remained silent, eating quietly.
After a satisfying meal, everyone felt very content.
As they walked out of the restaurant, Lin Cong snuggled close to Lin Xiaoyan.
"Sis, thanks for treating us to dinner today."
Lin Xiaoyan laughed, "When you get home, treat me to a meal."
Li Cong promised, "Definitely, for sure!"
With a playful grin, he nudged Lin Xiaoyan with his shoulder, "Make sure to invite brother-in-law too!"
Suddenly, visions appeared before Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes.
Her feet paused for a moment.
Since meeting Lin Cong and Li Yan today, they had been chatting with her parents. Yet, when she brushed against Lin Cong, she unexpectedly "saw" visions.
The visions were about her uncle!
Lin Xiaoyan agreed to her cousin’s words as she quickly scanned through those visions.
After all the visions "played out," Lin Xiaoyan exhaled deeply and looked at her happily smiling cousin and his beaming wife.
It was hard to imagine that in a few months, the two of them would be worn and weary from the troubles caused by her uncle, living with daily pain and arguments.
Lin Cong and Li Yan left happily, and Lin Fu and Lin Mu decided to head home.
In the afternoon, they checked out of the hotel and drove back home.
By evening, they had arrived home.
Once home, Lin Xiaoyan took advantage of her sister-in-law being at rest and pulled her parents into a room to discuss the situation with her uncle.
"Dad, I had a vision when I touched Congcong today."
Lin Fu: !!!
"Something happened to Congcong?"
Lin Xiaoyan sighed, "It’s not him, it’s Uncle."
Lin Fu looked at his daughter in astonishment, "Your uncle?!"
Lin Mu quickly asked, "What about your uncle?"
Lin Xiaoyan: "From Congcong, I saw Uncle being swindled into signing a contract.
And then he’d have to pay back the debt.
It seemed like over a million..."
Lin Fu: !!!
Lin Mu: "Seriously, your uncle... I thought he was smarter than that!"
Lin Xiaoyan: "It seemed like they wanted Uncle to be the middleman, introduced by Master Ming, who had a piece of land to sell to someone from Aunt’s family or something.
Then they had Uncle act as the middleman, and he signed the contract, receiving a fifteen thousand commission.
They even used his ID to handle the paperwork..."
After hearing this, Lin Fu cursed directly, "Doesn’t your uncle have a brain?
In this day and age, who would do something so foolish!
Who dares to lend out their ID or sign a contract...
Just for that fifteen thousand bucks, doing something like this, to end up owing over a million, he couldn’t pay it back even if he sold himself!"
"That Lin Tianming is such a scoundrel! Did he set this up to deceive our brother?" Lin Mu felt disgusted just mentioning Lin Tianming.
Lin Tianming was an elder of distant relation in the Lin Family, whom Lin Fu and others called Uncle, but Lin Tianming was known for his scheming ways.
The villagers all steered clear of his affairs.
Lin Fu was in a panic and immediately took out his phone, "I’ll call him right now!"
"Don’t!"
Lin Mu and Lin Xiaoyan stopped Lin Fu at the same time.
Lin Mu: "Are you out of your mind, what are you going to say on the call? What would you say?"
Lin Xiaoyan looked at her father, "Yeah, Dad, it’s not something you can easily bring up since it hasn’t even happened yet."
Lin Mu continued, "With someone like your sister-in-law, the more you try to stop her, the more she’ll do the opposite!"
Calming down, Lin Fu put down his phone and thought, "I’ll call Congcong."
"And say what?"
Lin Fu picked up his phone again, ready to make a call, "Don’t worry about it, I’ll handle it myself."
Lin Mu and Lin Xiaoyan were speechless, sitting there watching Lin Fu make the call.
The call was answered quickly.
Lin Cong saw his uncle’s call and thought that he had mentioned returning to Sea City this afternoon. Now calling, he must have already reached Sea City.
"Hello, Uncle."
Lin Fu’s voice was serious, "Cong, I have something to tell you, where are you now? Are you off work?"
Lin Cong heard his uncle’s solemn tone, gave a glance around, and walked out.
"Uncle. I haven’t clocked out yet, but I’m free at the moment, go ahead."
Lin Fu: "I just got a call, concerning your dad.
Your Master Ming and others plan to deceive your dad into signing a contract.
They’re saying they’ll give your dad a fifteen thousand commission for acting as a middleman, then they’ve taken his ID saying it’s for handling stuff, but it’s actually being used for a loan..."
