He did not get off the ox-cart. Instead, he looked down at Old Madam Lin.

“So you’re willing to give me 50 taels of silver?” He asked coldly.

Hatred flashed across Old Madam Lin’s eyes, but she quickly hid it.

Then, she nodded.

Fourth Uncle Lin’s expression became a little better.

“Alright. Then, get on the ox-cart.” He said indifferently.

Old Madam Lin looked at Fourth Uncle Lin in disbelief.

“Aren’t you going to pull me up?”

Fourth Uncle Lin frowned.

“Please hurry up.” He said in a deep voice.

With this land of att.i.tude again, why should he help?

A hint of fear flashed across Old Madam Lin’s face. When she thought of what her fourth son had done to her just now, she did not dare to say anything else.

She propped herself up and crawled out of the snow.

Then, she limped to the ox-cart.

After that, she climbed onto the ox-cart alone.

Fourth Uncle Lin just watched coldly and did not help at all.

After Old Madam Lin entered the carriage, Fourth Brother Lin rode away.

On the way, Fourth Uncle Lin figured out the source of Old Madam Lin’s money.

It turned out that Old Madam Lin had an expensive jade pendant.

The jade pendant was not Old Madam Lin’s. It was something that Liu s.h.i.+ had brought with her when she came to the Lin family.

Fourth Uncle Lin remembered this.

Liu s.h.i.+ was not from Nan’an County or even Anyang County.

When she came to the Lin family, although she did not bring anything, she had an exquisite jade pendant.

However, the jade pendant went missing a few days later.

At that time, because of this matter, his brother had caused a huge ruckus at home. In the end, their mother shut him up.

Mother said that it didn’t even worth that much and that it was not a big deal.

She even blamed Liu s.h.i.+, saying that she was deliberately stirring up trouble at home.

In order to appease her mother-in-law, Liu s.h.i.+ persuaded her husband not to pursue this matter.

It had been more than ten years since the incident. If it weren’t for the fact that the jade pendant was too beautiful and left a deep impression on him, he would have forgotten about it.

He did not expect that the jade pendant was actually stolen by his mother.

Moreover, she had hidden it away for more than ten years.

“A piece of jade is worth 200 taels?”

Old Madam Lin immediately looked at Fourth Brother Lin warily.

Fourth Uncle Lin curled his lips and said, “don’t worry, I’m not interested in the jade pendant. 1 only want 50 taels.”

“Mother, tell me the truth. Tomorrow, I can help you sell the jade pendant for a good price.”

Old Madam Lin’s heart skipped a beat.

“It’s worth more than 200 taels!”

“Back then, after I picked up the jade pendant, 1 went to the shop in town with your father to ask about it.”

“At that time, the shopkeeper offered 250 taels.” Old Madam Lin said proudly.

“Your father and I decided that we can p.a.w.n it for 300 taels.”

Fourth Uncle Lin’s eyes lit up.

300 taels?

His parents had been hiding such a treasure at home.

This time, if it wasn’t for the fact that Yuanshan needed money, she probably wouldn’t have taken it out.

“We’ll ask for 500 taels of silver. The minimum is 300 taels of silver.” Fourth Uncle Lin said.

Old Madam Lin’s eyes lit up.

“Okay! Once the matter is settled, you’ll get 50 taels of silver.”

Old Madam Lin wanted to appease Fourth Uncle Lin.

She hoped that Fourth Uncle Lin would do his best during the negotiation.

Now, she didn’t dare to treat her son as a slave.

Fourth Uncle Lin glanced at Old Madam Lin and continued riding.

Of course, she had to give him what he deserved.

These words were meaningless to him.

The ox-cart finally arrived at the Lin family’s house in the Dais.h.i.+ Village.

Fourth Uncle Lin did not enter the house and waited for Old Madam Lin in the courtyard.

Not long after, Old Madam Lin came out with a wooden box.

Then, as if her body had become more agile, she quickly climbed onto the ox cart.

Since the houses were close to each other, Fourth Uncle Lin did not ask further. He got on the ox-cart and took Old Madam Lin toward the village entrance. Fourth Uncle Lin only asked to see the jade pendant after they left the village. Old Madam Lin did not agree at first, but she did not dare to disobey Fourth UncleLin, so she gave him the box.

Fourth Uncle Lin opened the wooden box and removed the handkerchief that covered the jade pendant. Only then did he see the jade pendant clearly.

It was still as beautiful as he remembered. One look and he knew that it was expensive..
