Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 781 - 097 Condolences_2

"What do you mean by wailing like at a funeral? I am in mourning!" Lin Jiazhong had long harbored dissatisfaction with his deceitful younger brother, and now everything about him was irksome.

"Are you ever going to finish?" Lin Jiaxiao’s eyes bulged with anger, "If you don’t start talking, I’m leaving!"

"Who are you trying to intimidate? And you call yourself ’sir’! If you’re the big man, then cough up the silver, didn’t you work in the town for several months? You must have made a tidy sum, just right to show some filial piety to our father!"

Seeing Lin Jiazhong’s outstretched hand, a chill ran down Lin Jiaxiao’s spine—he knew this old fool had nothing good for him, and even hiding inside, he was still called out.

Lin Jiaxiao rolled his eyes, thinking he could get money from him? No chance!

"No money!"

"No money? Then how did you afford Chunfeng Building?" Lin Jiazhong was both angry and shocked to hear such blatant lies from his younger brother, and in a moment of emotional loss, he blurted out what he had seen before.

Lin Jiaxiao, in a panic, stamped his foot and glanced at the villagers watching them. With a flushed face, he argued, "Who—Who went to the Chunfeng Building? Don’t slander me! How could I possibly go to such a place?" freewёbnoνel.com

Inwardly, he berated himself, thinking how could his secrecy have been discovered by his eldest brother? Misfortune!

Lin Jiazhong knew he had hit a sore spot and snorted coldly, extending his hand: "I was not mistaken; it all depends on what you do now."

Despicable! Sly!

Pressured, Lin Jiaxiao silently cursed the old wretch, while digging out a silver piece from his shoe and throwing it into Lin Jiazhong’s hand as if to vent, "That’s all there is!"

Weighing the two taels of silver pieces in his hand, Lin Jiazhong smacked his lips. Though not much, it was certainly better than nothing. Since his brother had given silver, as the eldest, he couldn’t come empty-handed.

After squeezing another two taels of silver from Lady Ma, Lin Jiazhong handed the hard-earned four taels of silver to Da Han, "Save where you can. I’ve been mingling in the city for years; I know exactly what these things should cost."

His words implied a warning to Da Han and Third Uncle Lin not to get any ideas about cheating him out of his silver.

"What did you say!" Third Uncle Lin’s face darkened with anger. He had been serving the village faithfully for many years; everyone said he was competent. Only Lin Jiazhong spoke as if spewing filth!

Da Han quickly pulled him aside, "Enough, Third Brother. His family just lost an elder; he must be in pain. Don’t take it personally, don’t get angry. Once we’re through with this, I’ll treat you to a drink!"

"Hmph! He’s grieving over the death of an elder? I think he couldn’t wait for his old man to die!" Seeing Da Han still defend Lin Jiazhong vexed Third Uncle Lin, "On the day his father fell ill, who went to the town to fetch the doctor? Was it him? It was you! He, as a son, neglects his own father, wanting nothing more than his early death."

Da Han sighed heavily, and as they walked out, he said, "Ah, what can we do? How did Uncle Lin end up with such a son? None of them are filial, and the only one who was got kicked out of the house by him! I wonder if Uncle Lin regretted his decision at the end."

Third Uncle Lin snorted coldly, "So what if he regrets it now? The man is gone; it’s too late for anything."

Thinking about it, Third Uncle Lin felt a pang of sentimentality, "After all, the second son is the sensible one, and so is his daughter. They knew to give you silver to fetch the best doctor from Shande Hall. Ah, such good children and grandchildren, and he stubbornly rejected them, practically blinding himself!"

Da Han knew all too well. Not just them, but everyone in the village said the same. They would all have loved to have such relatives, but the Lin family insisted on driving away such a Lucky Star! And now, look at those close to Lin Yuan’s family, like Lin Lanhua’s and Lin Ershuan’s families; they’re doing better and better. Who would have thought that Lin Yuan, once deemed a Little Disaster Star, turned out to be a true Lucky Star?

"Surprisingly, that Blind Lin’s prediction turned out to be pretty accurate; the Lin girl really is a beacon of fortune."

With Da Han and Third Uncle Lin off to the town to purchase what was needed, they hesitated outside Lin Yuan’s house; after all, it was a family affair. Whether they should join the mourning, the two outsiders decided it was best not to butt in.
