Chapter 17: A coincidence

Everyone walked back together. Lin Nan didn't feel anything at first, but after walking out for a while, he found something strange. The fourth uncle Lin De approached Lin Fu intentionally or unintentionally, but Lin Fu and Lin Shou seemed to be walking the other way, pulling Lin Nan and Lin Zhi and talking nonstop, as if they were afraid of avoiding it...

Thinking about what he saw when he went shopping today, Lin Nan suddenly felt overwhelmed. The things in the family were difficult to sort out for a while, and it was impossible to get rid of them, unless he was not named Lin. But with his current situation, it would be better not to investigate these things in depth.

I don’t want to, but it makes Lin Nan a little angry. Judging from the performance of my cousin Lin Fu, the shopping behavior today was probably premeditated. Although I don’t know what the specific situation is, I’m afraid that I have been calculated by Lin Fu invisibly.

Lin Nan talked to several people perfunctorily while walking forward. As soon as everyone turned the street and went on the main road, a carriage passed by in front of them and stopped beside the people. Outside the carriage was covered with gold and a pendant was hanging. Everyone was stunned. When they lifted the curtain of the car, a fair face appeared inside.

"Ouch! It looks like you from a distance, but it's you from a close distance! Isn't this Lin De? Why are you so leisurely? Today... I won't go to make a fight?" The face showed off, and the complexion was a woman, but her facial features were a handsome man with a hint of a tough look. At this time, the delicate man lifted the curtain of the car with his thin white fingers, and he leaned out his head and greeted Lin De.

When Lin De saw this man, he hurriedly came forward and bent down, but when he heard him say this, his face froze and said with a smirk: "Young Master, I... am I just coming back..."

"What?" The young man in the car burst out laughing, pointing at Lin De's nose: "Your slutty and I have only come back... Have you been back for a day? If you leave Beijing again, will I see ghosts these days?" The young man said, his eyes glanced behind Lin De. He nodded with laughter when he saw Lin Fu and Lin Shou. When he saw Lin Nan and Lin Zhi, he showed a little surprise and said, "Oh, it turns out that you have a customer. Okay, let's talk about it another day!"

Lin De still had to explain something. The curtain had been put down, so Lin De had to bow to the back of the carriage. After seeing the young master, Lin De's face turned a little ugly. When Lin Fu and Lin Shou saw it, they no longer talked loudly like they had just now. They subconsciously lowered their heads and dared not look at him.

Everyone walked through the streets and alleys, and saw that they had arrived at the mansion after walking for a while. At this time, Lin De suddenly slowed down and turned around and smiled at Lin Nan: "Nan'er, the fourth uncle suddenly remembered that there is a store not far from here. The osmanthus duck made in it is quite authentic. How about going to sit there?"

"Ah..." Lin Nan seemed to be flattered, and said in a daze, "Didn't the fourth uncle have already set up the mat at noon, so why can I let the fourth uncle spend money? I'm about to arrive at the mansion. If my grandmother knew that we had been out for a day, maybe she would have to blame her..."

"Well... it's also..." Lin De's expression darkened again when he heard him mention Zhao's family, and his body lowered unconsciously. But his eyes were still a little burning, as if he didn't want to give up anything. After Lin Nan finished speaking, he said something else to Lin Fulinshou next to him. For a moment, he didn't look at the fourth uncle again. However, Lin Zhi frowned and didn't say anything for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

There was nothing to say along the way. Lin De walked in front with a depressed face, not knowing what he was thinking. Lin Fu and Lin Shou talked and laughed on the surface, but they were obviously absent-minded. Finally, the mansion was in sight. Lin Nanru took Lin Zhi a few steps and wanted to step into the mansion. However, the fourth uncle Lin De suddenly grabbed him, his eyes full of pleading: "Nan'er, the fourth uncle..."

"Ah...hehe, Nan'er was eating very well on the table today. I have to thank the fourth uncle here." Lin Nan pulled his hand slightly and didn't pull it back. He hurriedly bowed. Lin De couldn't do it too obvious, so he had to put his hand down. After Lin Nan said this, seeing Lin De let go, he quickly took a step back, smiled, and entered the mansion. Lin De stretched out his right hand, as if he wanted to grab him, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

Lin Fu and Lin Shou followed Lin Nan into the mansion. Several people came to the main hall. Zhao and Zhou were chatting in the hall. Lin Fu and the other four hurriedly said. Seeing that the four of them were in good spirits, Zhao said, "It's so crazy. If you don't go out, you'll be gone for most of the day. Look at you, you're so muddy, and you won't go to wash it! You'll come back to talk later!" The four of them hurriedly went back to the yard to wash.

After Lin Nan finished washing up, he did not go to the main hall to talk immediately, but paced back and forth in the outside of his room, with a look of worry on his face. Lin Zhi had just finished washing, and water was dripping on his hair. Seeing his brother like this, he couldn't help but say wonderingly: "Brother, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing... You won't understand what the person on the street said just now, right?"

"This..." Lin Zhi's head also lowered, and after a while he looked up at Lin Nan: "Brother, what do you want to do?"

"Oh!" Lin Nan sighed heavily: "I just don't know what to do now, so I'm wandering around here!"

Lin Zhi sighed and suddenly said, "If you want me to tell me, brother might as well put this aside. We just came to our uncle. If we exposed this and offend the fourth uncle, in the future... Besides, Brother Fu and Brother Shou would have known it a long time ago, not..."

"It's not something?" Lin Nan said to his younger brother, lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly looked up and asked Lin Zhi: "Do you really think so?"

"Yeah!" Lin Zhi nodded heavily.

"Well... OK, then let's do it first, wait until the fourth uncle has seen his grandmother."

Sometimes things are like this. When I want to know, I don’t know. When I want to pretend not to know, I have to say it out. After Lin Nan and his younger brother discussed it, they thought the matter would be covered up like this. But they didn’t know that they had just arrived at the entrance of the main hall. Before they could pick up the curtains, they heard the angrily shout of grandmother Zhao from inside: “Okay! What a third brother. Now it seems that he has a hard wing and a big family business, right? Life in the south must be quite good, and even his own brothers dare to treat him like this!”

Hum? Lin Nan was stunned when he heard this and looked at Lin Zhi. Where did this start? What did the third uncle Lin He do that made his grandmother so angry?

Lin Nan hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the curtain and entered the main hall.
