The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 429 Lin Yan's Thoughts

Lao Tan has earned a lot of money over the years.

He doesn't know how much he earns. He is a person who doesn't like to manage money, and works outside all year round, so the salary card is kept at home, and Lin Yan takes care of it.

In addition to salary, Lao Tan also has a management fee. The management fee is a separate card. This card is enough for Lao Tan to use for his own expenses, and there is still some leftover.

Lin Yan's salary has also increased since she became a business manager, so she doesn't bother with Lao Tan's salary card.Their company is very big, and their business covers the entire Northeast region.Large and small companies hardly do distribution business, and all of them are transferred to small logistics companies with better relationships.

Small logistics companies generally do not have cold storage, and all orders are delivered by express delivery.

Lin Yan is a business manager with resources in her hands, so she has a good relationship with a small logistics company.Sometimes Lin Yan also takes some small orders to cooperate with them, earning thousands or eight hundred each time.

After a long time, I got acquainted with the small logistics company, and sometimes the small logistics company would put it on the back if the capital turnover was not enough, and then return the money to her when the money came back. Both of them trusted each other.

At the beginning of October, a small logistics company that often cooperates with Lin Yan ran out of funds again, and this time the amount was a bit large, 200,000.

Lin Yan didn't plan to borrow it, because she didn't have the money in her hand, and if she borrowed it, she would have to use Lao Tan's salary card.She has already lent part of the money in Lao Tan's salary card to the elder brother to buy a truck, and the elder brother is planning to engage in long-distance transportation.

But I have been cooperating with this company for a long time, and I have a good reputation. The boss also said that he is sincere, and he also guaranteed that the money will be returned immediately.

Lin Yan hesitated and borrowed the money.

It turned out that the money was meat buns beating dogs - never returned.

Here's the thing.

This is a batch of quick-frozen seafood. It was picked up from Qingdao to Harbin, but there was a car accident on the highway. The car and the goods were scrapped. Unfortunately, the small logistics boss was also in the car and died on the spot.

Lin Yan got angry, her mouth was full of bubbles, and she couldn't sleep for several nights.

No matter what Lin Yan's attitude towards Lao Tan is, she can do a good job in managing the family and living a life, and she is a living person in the words of ordinary people.In our consistent cognition, all women who are called living people like to control money, and once the money is in the hands, it is difficult to get it out.

200,000 is not a small amount. Can you not feel distressed for Lin Yan, who is diligent and thrifty?
I can't help but feel distressed, the boss is dead, and he will come back if he wants.

She thought of Lao Tan, the legal husband.

The money belongs to Lao Tan, and of course it belongs to the family.If the money is being used regularly, she won't feel distressed, and she won't count it up. Even if Lao Tan asks, she can be justified.

But the money was borrowed privately by myself, and it was the kind of money that never came back. I was distressed and guilty at the same time.

When I borrowed money from my eldest brother, I felt a little guilty without discussing it with Lao Tan. After all, it is not a small amount, and I know very well that it will not be certain when it is.But he was his younger brother after all, so he could accept it even if he didn't return it.To put it bluntly, Lao Tan asked one day, and he had something to say - can't I lend it to your brother-in-law?

But not this time.

She also knew that even if Lao Tan knew about it, he wouldn't blame her. At most, he would say that if he didn't have it, he wouldn't have it, and if he didn't have it, he would make more money.

Having been married for twenty years, she knows her husband well.

Although we get together less and leave more all the year round, we also sleep in separate rooms when we get together, and there is no married life, but we are husband and wife after all.

She understands her husband's personality, temperament, his tone of voice, his way of doing things, and his living habits, tastes and hobbies.She knew all of this, but all these years she had focused on her son and neglected her husband.

Ignore, is it to ignore?
she asked herself.

It seems that it's not just ignoring, but also hurting.

These years, no matter what Lao Tan was doing outside, whether there were women or not, at least the family didn't care.Those who earn a lot of money never ask how much they spend, where they spend it, and how they spend it.

Of course, I didn't spend my money indiscriminately.

Having said that, although gentlemen should earn money to support their families, there are very few who can do what Lao Tan does. This must be admitted.

Lao Tan is very good.

Thinking about it carefully, what I have done in these years has been a bit too much, saying what I say, and not discussing with Lao Tan about everything I do, as if there is no such person.She never gave Lao Tan's wife the tenderness, nor did she show a good face, nor even a soft word——
But what about Lao Tan?Is he afraid of himself?What a joke, can he be afraid?
Old Tan doesn't seem to be angry, even if he is angry, he doesn't vent it to himself, at most he hides out to drink.Otherwise, I would pack up my things and go to other places, only to come back in a few months.

To be honest, she was angry with Lao Tan for his tendency to walk away without saying anything.Just walk away, where are you going?where to live?There are still people outside who have a place to live, otherwise they won't be taken away.

As soon as he left, he threw his home and children to himself. Is this what old men do?I really don't know what to do with the old man.

But now that I think about it, isn't it all caused by myself?As long as I treat him better and fulfill my duties as a wife, it won't be like this.

This is the first time Lin Yan has reflected on herself in these years.

She knew that Lao Tan was in poor health, with high blood pressure, bronchiectasis, and frequent vomiting of blood.

As a wife, she didn't say or do anything she cared about, and she didn't even visit him when he was sick and recuperating, let alone take care of her——
And now he's wasting his money again--
Some hurt Lao Tan.

No matter how good-tempered a person is, he won't be able to get hurt, and it would be good if he didn't get divorced.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan naturally transitioned from self-reflection to reflection on her marriage and family over the years.

She felt like a failure. She could have a good life, but she was messed up by herself.

How did you live like this?
She could feel Lao Tan's disappointment, frustration and helplessness towards her. She was relieved by Lao Tan's reactions before, as if she had won something, but what had she won?

Now that I think about it, I am stupid. Not only did I not win anything, but I lost.

Don't tell Lao Tan about the money in advance, and you will bear it yourself if you mess up. In the future, you will receive more orders and slowly make up for the card.

I've been sorry for Lao Tan these years, when he comes back we can have a good talk, if not then--leave.

Lin Yan thought of divorce. She felt that these years had not only treated Lao Tan badly, but also dragged Lao Tan down. Maybe divorce is the best choice.

Thinking of the divorce made me unable to sleep even more. I told Lao Tan that the divorce was due to my temperament, and I felt that I could live alone with my children, and it was very good.At that time, I was centered on myself and did not consider others.

It seems to be atonement now.

She thought that she had negotiated with Lao Tan before the divorce, that the house could be abandoned, but her son had to be with her.Lao Tan may not agree, but he has no choice, he cannot do without his son.

Also, when it comes to lending money, I will tell him at that time. Anyway, I have decided not to want the house, so I will treat it as nothing.

And, son—
Will the son agree to their divorce?

How can I tell my son?
Do you still ask your son like he did when he was a child: I divorced your dad, are you with me or your dad?
She remembered that her son cried for a long time that time, and while crying, he twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "I won't ask you two to divorce, I won't ask you two to divorce—"
