Chapter 554: Discipline
"Very well, since that is the case, there is nothing to say. You want to leave the Lin family, right? Who are they? Raise your hand and I'll see. Lin Jue said coldly.
"Move, the slave family wants to leave."
"I have to go too, who is going to wait here to die."
"And me."
The four women raised their hands nonchalantly, their palms still shaking like white bean sprouts, with a hint of provocation. The other two women who were making trouble with them were smarter, and they smelled a hint of danger, so they didn't raise their hands.
"Very well, you four are leaving, aren't you? I agreed. Lin Jue nodded.
As soon as these words came out, the two women who didn't raise their hands immediately regretted it, but they didn't expect this to be the result. I said yes and I agreed. Now I can eat a dumb loss, and my cleverness is mistaken by my cleverness.
"The twisted melon is not sweet, you are no longer willing to stay in my Lin family, and my Lin family is not rare. We can give you a letter of divorce and let you go out. But before you go, let's settle the score. Lin Jue said.
"Reckoning?" Several women were shocked.
"Exactly." Lin Jue stretched out his hand and pointed at the seventh aunt standing in front of him: "How long have you been with my second uncle?" ”
The seventh aunt straightened her chest and said, "It's been two years and three months, what's the matter?" What do you do? ”
Lin Jue said: "Okay, the time is not too long and not too short. Two years and three months, that's more than 800 days, right? You live in our Lin family's mansion, eat our Lin family's three meals a day, and you are wearing our Lin family's clothes. Doesn't it cost money? If you say it's a deal, then we'll settle the score. If you live in such a house, you will have to pay at least 500 taels a month's rent. Two years and three months, that is a total of twenty-seven months, to give you a discount, twenty-five months, five hundred taels per month, that is 12,500 taels. Three meals a day is counted as one tael of silver, and three taels of silver a day, that is two thousand four hundred taels. Clothes and jewelry, walking expenses or whatever, if you count a hundred taels a month, that is two thousand seven hundred taels. Together, you spent a total of 18,000 taels of silver in our Lin family for two years and three months. ”
Everyone listened blankly as Lin Jue counted the accounts, and their minds were confused, not knowing what he meant.
"How much silver did you pay to receive guests at one time in the Qinglou? To be honest, I can see a lot of your appearance, and I often go to the Qinglou Red Pavilion, and I have a good price in my heart. Say, "How much silver at a time?" Lin Jue said.
Although the seventh aunt didn't understand what Lin Jue meant, she was still very stubborn, gritted her teeth and said, "Fifteen taels are wrapped around your head, how about it?" At the beginning, I was the number one player in the Waterfront Pavilion. ”
Lin Jue smiled and continued to ask: "Okay, count you fifteen taels, how many times have my second uncle asked you to serve in the past two years?" To put it simply, how many times have you had the same room. ”
“……”
Everyone stared at Lin Jue stupidly, this person was afraid that he was crazy, and he could ask such words.
"Tell me, I'll ask you. Since it's a business, don't you keep an account? How many times have you served my second uncle? Lin Jue didn't care, and asked coldly.
"Phew, who's going to remember that? It really doesn't matter. Do you still have any rules? You're still a scholar, Zhuangyuanlang. Aunt Seven said angrily.
"It doesn't matter who I am. Okay, since you didn't keep the account, I'll just count it three hundred times, and serve it once every three days, that's about it. But in fact, my second uncle is a person who has finished fifty years, and there may not be one time in ten days. Let you take advantage of it, three hundred times, at your price, fifteen taels once. It was four thousand five hundred taels of silver. Earlier, you spent 18,000 taels on our Lin family, and after deducting the 4,500 taels of silver you earned, that would be 13,500 taels. Come on, my Lin family is kinder, wipe the change, 13,000 taels of silver is what you owe our Lin family. I ask Erniang to write you a letter of resignation, and you will return the thirteen,000 taels of silver to us, and we will hand over the silver with one hand and the letter of divorce with the other. When you are done, you will take your Yangguan Road, and it has nothing to do with my Lin family. Lin Jue said with a sneer.
"What?" Everyone was dumbfounded, and after a long time, this person was settling the account. Actually asked Aunt Seven to give silver before leaving?
The seventh aunt's motherly body trembled, and she shouted loudly: "How can you settle accounts like this? How can it be reasonable to count money for housing and food? With a rent of five hundred taels a month, will you and I live in your entire house alone? ”
Lin Jue shouted: "That's okay, anyway, you live in this big mansion." The rent of this big house is 500 taels a month, which is still cheap for you. If you live, you will give money. ”
"You're a bastard. So if you calculate it this way, how much is my good youth for more than two years? ”
"Two years of yours? Isn't it two years for someone else? My second uncle is in his fifties, and his time is even more precious. Are you more expensive than my second uncle's time? Lin Jue sneered.
"You...... You're a bummer. Do these things count as money? When your second uncle marries me, don't you have to eat and drink? Is that what husband and wife count? It's a joke. Aunt Seven said angrily.
"You yourself say it's a deal, so why are you talking about a husband and wife? Husbands and wives should be in the same boat, and you will run away when disaster comes, and you are qualified to say husband and wife? Since it is a transaction, let's calculate it clearly, and after the two are cleared, no one owes anyone, which is a fair transaction. Hugh said a lot, and handed over thirteen thousand taels of silver, and then you left. It has nothing to do with my Lin family. Lin Jue said coldly.
"I ...... Where do I have so much silver? You're deliberately making things difficult. "Aunt Seven's motherly nose is crooked.
Lin Jue shouted: "Who has time to make things difficult for you people? Do you think my Lin family has no family law? My Lin family's ancestral business has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it is a big family admired by the world, and everyone dare not violate the family rules and family mottos. No matter what you did before, when you enter my Lin family, you will abide by my Lin family's rules and family precepts. Not to mention that you are a woman's family, and if your husband is in trouble, you should do your best to help and support you. Even if you don't want to save people, you can't make a noise at home and break the rules. Could it be that you are my Lin family is an inn, come when you come, go when you go, there are no rules, let alone the love of husband and wife. Looking at the second uncle's absence, no one will cure you? ”
Women, you look at me, I look at you, you don't speak, but the seventh aunt is arrogant, and she shouts to herself: "You are a three-room concubine, according to the rules of the Lin family, you are still our junior, why do you say these words?" It's not your turn to talk here. ”
Lin Jue sneered and stretched out his hand, a purple wrench on his thumb was shining, it was the symbol of the head of the family.
"Huh? What's going on? Could it be that ......" everyone was stunned.
"Although I am not the head of the family, but the head of the family handed over the wrench to me, and I will do the housework on my behalf, do you think I am qualified? I only ask you, will you give 13,000 taels of silver? Lin Jue said coldly.
"Where do I have so much silver? That's it, I'm not leaving. I'll go back to the room, and I'll be unlucky with your Lin family. Aunt Seven flicked her sleeves and left, she knew that she had encountered hard stubble today.
"Wait, do you say stay and stay? My Lin family may not keep you. Can you keep any shit and horse manure in my Lin family? Pay the money, take the letter of resignation and get out. Lin Jue shouted.
"I ...... I...... Where did the money come from? Aren't you bullying? Aunt Seven shouted.
"Don't you have any money? Good. Someone came and asked her to write an IOU. From tomorrow, pour the commode, pick up the dung, water the garden, sweep the yard, and do chores to settle the account, and when the account of the thirteen thousand taels of silver is paid, you can leave freely. Lin Jue shouted.
The seventh aunt fell to the ground with her legs limp, and wailed loudly. 13,000 taels of silver, doing chores to earn three taels of silver a month, this has to be the year of the monkey to pay off the debt. Isn't the rest of my life ruined here? Besides, I only know that people come to open their legs and open their mouths, and they have always lived by serving men, how can they do those jobs? Isn't this a matter of human life?
"Young Master Lin Jue, spare me, I know it's wrong. Spare me, don't dare again. The seventh aunt turned over and knelt on the ground, and shook it again and again.
Lin Jue's face was gloomy, and he shouted: "It's too late to beg for mercy now." Come on, draw a charge for her. ”
Next to him, the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion wrote an IOU, and he grabbed the hand of the seventh aunt and pressed the handprint. The IOU said that 13,000 taels of silver were owed, and the words were used as miscellaneous labor to pay off the debt. After setting up the note, Yuan took the initiative to write the letter of resignation, and threw the letter of resignation on the face of the seventh aunt. The seventh aunt held the letter of resignation in her hand and wanted to cry without tears. I have been making trouble for a long time, although I have received this letter of resignation, but I have suffered the sins of the rest of my life.
"Take it to the garden, and let her sleep in the firewood room tonight, and bring all the things in her house to the house." Yuan suddenly regained the spirit of the master mother and gave the order. Several mothers-in-law half-dragged and half-dragged the seventh aunt down.
The other three women were already in a cold sweat at the moment, and they saw the fate of the seventh aunt, they never expected it to be such an ending, and they were both shocked and scared. These people usually walk sideways in the back house, relying on Lin Bonian's connivance and arrogance. The eldest lady is no longer in their eyes, and Lin Sheng's little cub is even more played with by them, and Lin Sheng runs like a dog to do it. I met such a three-room boy today. It's completely unreasonable, what kind of account is it called? That's obviously an overlord account.
Lin Jue's gaze shot over, like a sharp blade, and when Lin Jue's gaze swept over the three women, all three of them felt a sting as if they had been stung by a wasp.
"It's your turn, we'll settle the score. How many years have you been in my Lin family? Lin Jue stared at the Sixth Lady.
The sixth lady's heart was cold, and the account was settled on her head. Xiao Qi has only been here for more than two years, and he owes 13,000 taels. I have been here for more than five years, and the house cost more than 30,000 taels alone. I sold all my jewelry, and I took out all my savings for only five or six thousand taels, so how can I pay it off?
"Spare your life, the slave knows it's wrong. Lin Juegongzi, the slave family knew that it was wrong, and they didn't dare anymore. Ask for mercy, ask for mercy. The sixth aunt turned over and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging repeatedly.
"Kaien, Kaien, we were wrong, we don't dare anymore. We were confused for a while, and we failed the master. For the sake of our Lin family serving the master for many years, spare us. The other two women, who had raised their hands, also knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The two women who did not raise their hands were secretly proud as if they had eaten honey, but fortunately they were wise, otherwise they would have knelt on the ground and begged for mercy like them.
Lin Jue actually didn't want to go too far, although these women were really hateful, but after all, they were Lin Bonian's side room. The seventh aunt was too arrogant, and Lin Jue had to kill the chickens and monkeys, so it had such an effect. Lin Jue didn't want to deliberately rectify these women, his purpose was to ensure that the people in Lin Bonian's mansion were stable, could not cause chaos, and did not allow extraneous branches.
"Since a few of you know your mistakes, that's it." Lin Juedao.
"Thank you so much, thank you so much." The three women were ecstatic.
"But the Lin family's family rules are inviolable, according to the Lin family's family rules and family motto, women are not virtuous, immoral and corrupt, and they must be punished by family law. Each of them gave a hundred thorns as a lesson. This is already extraordinarily forgiving. Lin Jue shouted.
"Huh?" The women collapsed on the ground with their faces weeping.
