Need for money

Zhang Jia didn't expect her daughter to be so bold, daring to break free from his wife's arms, and stepped forward to snatch the silver ingot from Lin Jingzhi's hand. Return things to others."

"No!" Zhang Ting pouted, and hid the silver dollar treasure behind her backhand.

In good conscience, although Zhang Ting is young, Lin Jingzhi doesn't like this kind of behavior. Although he wants to give the gift away, how can a six or seven-year-old child be so bold as to directly grab the gift from the guest? Moreover, this gift is very precious to a child, but if it were his daughter, he would be angry as well.

It's so impolite.

For this reason, Lin Jingzhi frowned and did not speak to dissuade Zhang Jia and his wife from educating their daughter.

Seeing that her daughter was disobedient, Mrs. Zhang turned pale with anger, but she was just such a daughter, and she always held it in her hands. No matter how angry she was, she was reluctant to beat the child, but today was different. There were still two guests standing in front of her. , so she hesitated for a moment, then raised her slap and said intimidatingly: "Hurry up and return the things, or mother will beat you up!"

"A loving mother is a loser!" Zhang Jia had seen through his wife a long time ago. Seeing her daughter being so presumptuous at this time, his wife still couldn't bear to discipline her severely. She stamped her foot on the ground and strode towards her. daughter.

Mrs. Zhang has been paying attention to Xianggong's actions. After all, Xianggong used to beat his daughter a lot. Seeing this, her heart tightened and she quickly shouted: "Ting'er run, run away, come to mother."

After that, he ran forward, intending to stop his man from beating his daughter.

Although Zhang Ting was afraid of being beaten, she was obviously not afraid of her father. When she saw him rushing over, she ran away, and then circled around Aunt Yu. As soon as he came, he turned two or three times, but he didn't catch up.

At this time Mrs. Zhang rushed up and grabbed Zhang Jia's sleeve, "Master, calm down first, I will definitely persuade Ting'er to return the silver ingot."

Although Zhang Jia had a strong temper, she had no choice but to take this extremely protective, hen-like wife, and shook her sleeves vigorously.

Zhang Ting tightly held the ingot in her hand, and before her mother could speak, she hid beside Aunt Yu and said in a crisp voice: "Mother, Ting'er likes this ingot, so let Tinger accept it."

Lin Jingzhi didn't expect that the three members of the Zhang family would have such a scene. He rubbed his nose, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Seeing Zhang Jia's face flushed with embarrassment because of his ignorant daughter, he didn't dare to turn around again. Turning to look at him, I knew that I had to stand up and say a few words, "Mr. Zhang, Ting'er is still young, why should you know her as well? I was going to give her that little ingot, so you let her take it."

Aunt Yu is straightforward and doesn't pay too much attention to these things. She doesn't think there is anything wrong with Zhang Ting, so she can take it if she likes it. He raised his hand, patted her shoulder lightly, and said, "Ting'er just take it if she likes it, and we won't take it back."

"En!" Zhang Ting raised her small face, glanced at Aunt Yu, and then nodded her head heavily.

Aunt Yu's tone was very cold, as soon as she heard it, she knew that she was a difficult person to get along with. Mrs. Zhang was not good at words, so she didn't know what to say when she heard the words.

Seeing his wife looking at him, Zhang Jia glared at her, meaning that you have raised a good daughter, and then shook off her control, took a step forward, and bowed to Lin Jingzhi, "Zhang's goddaughter is innocent!" Fang, let Mr. Lin laugh."

"Ting'er is still young, so she will be sensible in the future. Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be like this. Come on, let's sit down and continue drinking." After Lin Jingzhi finished speaking, he took Zhang Jia's hand and walked towards the table.

Seeing that her father stopped persuading her to return the silver ingot, Zhang Ting giggled, then quickly ran to her mother, and threw herself directly into her arms, her little face flushed with excitement.

"Wait!" At this moment, Aunt Yu suddenly opened her mouth. Seeing that everyone in the hall was looking at her, she didn't feel embarrassed. She walked directly to the table, then reached out to pick up two dishes, and moved to the side hall.

Lin Jingzhi slapped his forehead when he saw this, and then he remembered that Aunt Yu was a woman, and she couldn't have dinner with Zhang Jia. No wonder Aunt Yu didn't give him a good look earlier. The food and wine in the big food box can be placed in three layers up and down, with five plates on each layer, and there are fifteen appetizers. In addition, there is also a large drawer of steamed buns. People can't eat so much, so they reached out to pick up two plates of dishes, and picked up the drawer of buns, and followed Aunt Yu into the side hall.

"Yu'er, do you think these dishes are enough?" When he came to the side hall, he hurried to the table, put the wine, vegetables and baskets on the table, and asked courteously.

Aunt Yu glanced at him lightly, and replied flatly, "Enough."

"Hehe." Lin Jingzhi scratched his head in embarrassment, trying to explain, but he didn't know how to explain, so he laughed a few times, and walked out of the side hall in desperation.

Waiting for Lin Jingzhi's back to disappear behind the door curtain, Aunt Yu's eyes revealed an unspeakable smile. She really didn't expect that this scholar-in-law with the reputation of a young talent would be so naive. silly time.

When he came to the hall, Lin Jingzhi had already calmed down, and after persuading Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Ting to eat in the side hall, he sat down with Zhang Jia again and continued to drink and eat meat.

Zhang Jia has always been a man of his own, and he doesn't like to covet other people's money. At this time, his daughter took Lin Jingzhi's silver ingot, and he couldn't sit still. He saw Lin Jingzhi on the opposite side who was just drinking and eating, and didn't want to talk about business He took the initiative to open his mouth and asked, "Mr. Lin is here this time, does he have something to discuss with Zhang?"

Lin Jingzhi originally wanted to have a meal with Zhang Jia, chat, and wait for the two to get acquainted with each other and figure out Zhang Jia's temperament before talking about serious matters, but now that Zhang Jia took the initiative to ask, he also It's not easy to avoid talking, so he straightened his face and replied: "Yes, I came here this time because I want to talk to Mr. Zhang again about opening up wasteland and digging canals."

"The fortune of the Lin family is great. No matter what business Mr. Lin does, he can probably make a lot of money. Why are you bothering to open up wasteland and dig canals?" Having done detailed planning and knowing the difficulties involved, these few words of persuasion are earnest.

Lin Jingzhi smiled slightly, did not speak, just reached into his bosom, took out the official documents on land reclamation and canal digging, and handed them to Zhang Jia.

Zhang Jia reached out to take it, spread out the official document, read it carefully, and sighed softly. He understood that Lin Jingzhi was a bastard on the scales, and he was determined to work hard!

Handing back the official document in his hand, Zhang Jia's face straightened. Since he had already made up his mind and didn't want to turn back, he naturally couldn't be dissuaded by his mother-in-law like a lady. It's business, "Mr. Lin, just tell me how you want Zhang to help you!"

"It's very simple, Mr. Zhang helps to be the commander-in-chief. After the matter is completed, I will give you a certain reward!"

As soon as Lin Jingzhi's words fell, Zhang Jia waved his hands and said, "No, digging canals in wasteland is a great thing for the benefit of the people. You don't think Mr. Zhang is talkative, and Mr. Zhang is willing to help Mr. Lin without charging a penny."

Lin Jingzhi has heard about Zhang Jia's character for a long time, and knows that he is not a money-grubbing person, but he recruits others to work for him, so there is no reason not to pay him. Mister still has to take it, it is your labor income, otherwise Mr. Zhang will have nothing to support his family in the future."

Zhang Jia originally wanted to evade, but Lin Jingzhi didn't let him speak, and said: "Besides, Ting'er is now six or seven years old, and in a few years, she will be able to find a matchmaker to make a good marriage. If Mr. Zhang can't come up with a decent dowry, won't it ruin Ting'er's marriage."

Women in this era get married early and become mothers at the age of thirteen or fourteen, so Lin Jingzhi's words are quite reasonable.

As if remembering something, Zhang Jia's face suddenly flushed, and he couldn't say any more when he wanted to refuse. Aunt Yu, who was in the hall, had a meal with Mrs. Zhang, mother and daughter, and suddenly heard After hearing Zhang Ting's words, her face changed slightly.
