"This is very fair to you. The assets I left behind for you are real. In the long run, it will definitely be more than what I took away. So, don't be greedy and want to get all the benefits. Sometimes, if one was too greedy, they would only lose their lives. In the end, it would be all for naught. It was better for both sides to take a step back. Everyone could get a piece of fat meat. There was no need to make a big fuss and settle this matter peacefully!”
"Alright, we agree! You can start to write the contract now, and then we'll sign it together. With this written agreement, those industries will be ours. As for the food, we don't want it. Since you're so generous, we can't be stingy. "The two of us have accumulated a lot of money over the years. We can use this money to buy these industries. In this way, no one can use these industries to talk about things in the future. This is the best outcome for both of us! Let's write a written agreement now to avoid any more trouble!”
"Alright, that's exactly what I want! I don't want to put justice before family. Even if I do it cleanly, people might find out. I don't want to have a bad reputation either. A peaceful settlement like this is what I want the most. In the future, the entire Lin family's assets will be yours. As for how you distribute them in the future, it has nothing to do with me whether these assets will still be surnamed Lin or not! After we finish handing them over, their owners will be the two of you. They have nothing to do with me! We'll part on good terms and be strangers from now on."
The moment both parties signed the contract, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. As long as there were no problems with the handover, the matter would be properly resolved! It was indeed beyond Lin Yuanshan's expectation that the matter could be resolved so smoothly. He thought that the other party would throw a tantrum and criticize him from the highest point of morality. He did not expect them to sign the agreement with him so calmly without crying or making a fuss.
Time returned to 15 minutes ago.
"Hua Niang, what do you think of this matter? Should we agree to that kid's conditions? Today, this kid directly laid his cards on the table with us. It seems that this kid has been under a lot of pressure for the past two years. He can't hold on much longer. Should we continue to be in a stalemate with him?”
"Hong Yu, I think it's better for us to agree to his conditions. Didn't you see this kid's attitude today? We have never seen those people with guns outside before. I think this kid has already found external help. If we don't agree to his conditions at this time, he will find a reason to kill us and frame unrelated people. Then, won't we die in vain? Moreover, we married into the Lin family back then because we wanted to live a good life. As long as we can live a life of glory and wealth in the future, there's no need to fight to the death with that kid.”
"Children are different from those old fogies. If he really doesn't care and is willing to bear that infamy, we might really die today. Besides, that kid is very good to us. He only wants the money we have accumulated over the years. Don't have any ulterior motives and secretly hide some. The people around us basically know everything we have. Even if they didn't know some things, they could roughly guess. It wouldn't be worth it if they fell out with each other because of that little money!”
"All these years, I've accumulated nearly 100,000 yuan in my hands, plus some gold and silver. I'll give it all to him. I guess you have about the same amount on hand. The cloth shop and the restaurant earn a lot of money every year. The Lin family's businesses are all golden chickens that lay eggs. That grain trading company earns more every year. In addition, there's also the huge Lin Manor. We're not losing out on this business. Moreover, although the cloth shop and restaurant are actually managed by the two of us, the title deeds of these industries are all in the hands of that kid. If he doesn't care and forcefully takes them back, the two of us won't have a good time either. Why don't we take this opportunity to rightfully take those industries into our pockets? That way, we can be the masters of our own house in the future and don't have to look at other people's faces anymore!”
"As for the grain from the grain trading company, just give it to him. In any case, the batch of food we were going to sell to the Northeast Army has already been shipped according to what they said previously. There's no need to feel bad about giving the remaining food to him.”
"Hua Niang, after listening to your words, I finally understood. In that case, we will agree to that brat's conditions. However, we have to get that kid to sign a contract. When the time comes, we'll hand over the money and the title deed. This way, it won't be easy for there to be any problems when the two sides trade. With that kid's deed and land deed, we can rightfully take over the entire Lin family and its assets. However, that kid is really a thief. He actually didn't give us the land in the countryside. It seems that this kid is planning to return to the countryside and become a landlord. That's exactly what I want.”
“……”
……
Fifteen minutes later, the two parties began to hand over the money and the title deed. Lin Hanqing had someone drive the carriage in and put a few large boxes of money into it. These boxes were much larger than the ones in his warehouse. According to the inventory just now, there was a total of about 200,000 yuan and more than 1000 taels of gold and silver. He did not expect that he had secretly gathered such a large sum of money over the years. He was even richer than the main family. In fact, the main family had much more money than them. However, Father Lin had lost a lot of money in business a few years ago. In addition, the main family had taken out a portion of the money to subsidize their daily expenses in the past few years, and Butler Lin had stolen a portion of it, so there was only a little left.
It was true that a horse wouldn't get fat without grass at night, and a man wouldn't get rich without a windfall. He had actually gotten such a large sum of money in a short time. In total, it was estimated to be two million yuan. To Lin Hanqing, this was really an astronomical figure. If it was in the future, he would definitely enter the ranks of billionaires. He had people drive the carriage to his courtyard and had people guard the outside. He then deposited all the money into the system. He sent all these boxes into the underground secret room, so after he came out, the money seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Only by doing so could they pass through the city gate. Otherwise, it would easily arouse the greed of the soldiers guarding the city and cause a series of unnecessary trouble!
Things went surprisingly smoothly. In less than two hours, everything was settled. Wan 'er and the others had already started to set off one after another. The first person to go out was probably already out of the city. There were four people in the carriage and one person driving the carriage. In addition to the clothes they were wearing, each carriage was equipped with two horses, and the speed was amazing.
When they arrived at the back door, the last carriage had already passed through the back door and was heading out. Seeing this scene, Lin Hanqing almost couldn't help but shout. However, considering that now was not the time to relax, he got on the carriage with the help of Number Ten and followed the main group in front of him to the door.
Sitting in the carriage, Lin Hanqing's thoughts drifted to the Lin family's guards. Compared to the other guards, those ten people were the true core. He wondered how many of them were loyal. Under the current circumstances, they could only abandon them for the time being. Butler Lin, that old fogey, could no longer be trusted. How much loyalty did the guards he brought with him have? It could be said to be a big question mark. He could not risk it and sacrifice more people for one or two of them.
For those loyal to the Lin family, if they realized that something was wrong, they should know what to do next. It was better to protect himself temporarily and find an opportunity to secretly come to the Lin Family Manor to find him. Of course, if they all rebelled, this kind of consideration would only be wishful thinking. It was better for humans to live in the present!
"Sir, the main group in front has already passed through the city gate. According to the previous plan, after leaving the city gate for three miles, the entire group will accelerate towards the Lin family manor. Don't worry, sir. We will escort you safely through the city gate!”
Fifteen minutes later, the carriage arrived at the city gate. A soldier guarding the city walked over with a serious expression and began to ask some questions. The reason why he came over at this time was nothing more than to ask for some benefits. This was a very common thing. To deal with such a situation, he had already made preparations in advance. No. 10 immediately got down from the carriage. He bowed and took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into the soldier's hand. He then took out a dozen dollars from his pocket and placed it in the soldier's hand. Both of them looked at each other and smiled. The soldier immediately informed the person opposite him to let them go.
No. 10 immediately got into the carriage and drove it out of the city gate. Just as they were about to drive out of the city gate, an officer walked over from afar and asked someone to stop the carriage. The entire atmosphere became tense. Lin Hanqing's heart was pounding. Had he been discovered and was about to be intercepted here? Was he going to stay here today? However, he knew that he could not panic at this moment. Otherwise, nothing would become a problem.
No. 10 went down to negotiate with the other party and found out that the officer had a brother-in-law who wanted to go to Beiping City. In the end, all the carriages in the city had been bought by others. He could only go to the city gate to see if there were any carriages going to Beiping and give him a ride. Number Ten took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and placed it in the officer's hand. He told the officer where he was going. The two locations were poles apart, so there was no way he could bring a small sum of money for him. The officer did not continue to pester him. He said that he would let them go and asked someone to get a stool to continue waiting for the next carriage.
No. 10 immediately got on the carriage and continued to drive forward. They drove past the city gate until they were about three miles away from the city gate. Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief. It was really dangerous just now. If they were really blocked there, it was very likely that they would never be able to get out again. In the worst case, they might even be completely wiped out!
