In the early morning, the noise outside woke Lin Wanjie up.
"What's up?"
Lin Wanjie got up quickly, put on clothes and walked to the yard.
There were many maids in the yard, and everyone surrounded the eldest lady.
Xiao Yuchan's eyes were red as if she was crying.
After getting along for a long time, Lin Wanjie also developed a brother-like caring attitude toward the eldest lady. He stepped forward and asked, "Miss, why are you crying? What happened?"
"It's not all you!" Xiao Yuchan stared at Lin Wanjie angrily.
Lin Wanjie looked confused, what does it have to do with me?
"It's not your idea to make a bet on my engagement, but now the Li family has come to the door."
When Lin Wanjie heard about the Li family, his expression changed.
Seeing Lin Da's expression, Xiao Yuchan was even more angry: "I didn't believe it at first. Some people said it was you who came up with the idea! Now looking at you, it's really your idea. Now the Li family has come to the door and my mother has resigned. No, you have to let me consummate the marriage. Lin Da, if you ruin my life, I will never let you go."
Strange!
Lin Wanjie scrawled: "What's going on with the Li family? Can't they even resign?"
Xiao Lian came to the eldest lady's yard to protect her. She stared at her eyes and said, "No! The Li family is really helpless. The wife said that the betrothal gift should be returned to them, but the Li family refused."
Lin Wanjie roughly understands the situation.
The original plan was to eat up the Li family's betrothal gift.
But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Unexpectedly, after the new year, the underwear sales exploded, and the Xiao family's economic crisis was resolved.
Although fifty thousand taels is a large sum of money, it is not absolutely necessary for the Xiao family.
That's why the eldest lady thought about returning the money.
Unexpectedly, the Li family disagreed. No matter how much money was returned, the marriage must be consummated.
After understanding the situation, Lin Wanjie fell into deep thought.
Xiao Yuchan was very anxious and shouted, pointing at Lin Wanjie: "Lin Da, please think of a solution quickly, you are the one with the most evil ideas in the house."
Lin Wanjie came back to her senses and said in a deep voice: "Send the eldest lady to Xiande Academy and study as usual. She has been living in the academy for the past few days. It is relatively safe there, and she is not afraid of them coming to rob her. Leave the rest to me, don't believe me You can’t even cure a small Li family.”
When the maids heard this, they asked in a low voice: "Um... do you want to ask the eldest lady?"
"Do as I tell you, and you will still listen to me when Madam comes!"
Lin Wanjie patted his chest, as if he was holding a needle in the sea.
The servants of the Xiao family also believe that as long as what Brother Lin says, they are all confident.
"Miss, Brother Lin is right."
"Yes, it is actually safer to go to Xiande Academy now!"
"Miss, let's go!"
Xiao Yuchan looked at Lin Wanjie eagerly: "Lin Da..."
Lin Wanjie had already walked out and walked towards the front yard.
Before reaching the front yard, I could already hear the noise and commotion outside.
This was not the first time he encountered such a situation. Lin Wanjie did not panic and walked to the corner to observe silently.
There were quite a few people coming to the Li family, servants ranging in size from forty to fifty, all of them with evil faces, holding sticks in their hands, and looking like they were going to rob someone directly.
The young master of the Li family, Li Mingyu, stood in front, holding the marriage certificate in his hand, followed by the matchmaker, making a loud voice.
"The marriage certificate and betrothal gift are here, and the word has been spread. How can a family as big as the Xiao family continue to default on its debt? If the marriage contract can be treated as a child's play, I think your young lady's reputation will be difficult to protect!"
"I said you don't have to pay for the betrothal gift. The Xiao family will never agree to this marriage."
"Hahaha..." Li Mingyu burst into laughter, "The marriage was cancelled, and the betrothal gift was paid. Who do you think the Li family is? If the Xiao family doesn't come up with an explanation today, we will never retreat!"
"Yes! Never retreat!"
The servants in the rear shouted loudly and held up sticks with great momentum.
The eldest lady pressed her forehead, she was afraid of meeting such an unreasonable person.
In the past, merchants in Hangzhou had some etiquette, and even if they were treacherous, they still wanted to have face.
The young master of the Li family is a tyrannical boss. He never follows routines in doing business, he is just tyrannical.
He can be aggressive about things that are not reasonable for him, let alone what happened today is due to other people's reasoning.
The eldest lady is now complaining about Lin Wanjie. She feels that it was not this boy's idea and she would not let the Xiao family be so passive.
You shouldn't use your daughter as a bet.
Now that the Xiao family has finally stabilized their funds, their daughter has been sold again.
The Xiao family is having troubles one after another, which is a headache.
"Mrs. Xiao, don't pretend to be dumb. If you don't give us an explanation today, we won't leave! Just stay at your Xiao's house!"
"Yes, stay at Xiao's house!"
"Hurry up and hand over the eldest lady!"
"Hand over the eldest lady!"
"Hand over the eldest lady!"
"have you had enough!"
Everyone in the Li family shouted in unison, and Lin Wanjie's voice drowned out everyone else.
All eyes were focused on Lin Wanjie. Seeing Lin Wanjie's bull-like figure walking over step by step, everyone present couldn't help but swallowed and subconsciously took a step back.
Even Li Mingyu frowned warily.
In Li Mingyu's eyes, the most difficult person in the Xiao family is either Mrs. Xiao or the family member Lin Da!
This servant is born with an invisible force of oppression. Li Mingyu is arrogant in business, and Lin Da is arrogant in all aspects.
Seeing Lin Wanjie, Li Mingyu was a little frightened and wiped his sweat subconsciously.
Seeing Lin Wanjie, the eldest lady finally breathed a sigh of relief and was a little angry: "Why did you come here?"
This tone sounded like a woman was being offended by her man's delay in coming.
Lin Wanjie raised his hands to the eldest lady and said nothing. Instead, he looked at Li Mingyu without saying anything.
Li Mingyu was stared at a little and was the first to ask: "What do you want to do? Here is the marriage certificate, with black writing on the red paper! You can't change it even if you act arrogantly!"
Lin Wanjie said calmly: "Let's make a price."
"A price? What's the price?"
"The price of breaking off the engagement, how much money do you have to give back before you are willing to cancel the engagement."
Li Mingyu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this fool to be so free and easy, and sneered: "Do your words work? Madam, do his words count?"
Lin Wanjie turned around and glanced at the eldest lady. The eldest lady whispered anxiously: "You can't let them raise the price like this. It's definitely a lion's mouth."
"Don't worry, madam, I have my own sense of discretion!"
The eldest lady is doubtful, but in the past, Lin Wanjie has never disappointed anyone.
So the eldest lady nodded: "What Lin Da means is what I mean."
Lin Wanjie stared at the other party: "Did you hear that?"
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll make an offer! My betrothal gift to the Xiao family is fifty thousand taels of silver. If you want to break off the engagement, you have to refund me one hundred thousand taels of silver. Do you think this is true?"
"yes!"
"One hundred thousand? Why don't you go and rob it! The Xiao family can't afford that much money!"
"If you can't get the money, just hand it over! Hahaha..."
"Okay!" Lin Wanjie raised his hand and interrupted everyone's conversation, "One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand. I will give you the money tomorrow, and the people who brought you will get out immediately."
