Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Baochai knew these old servants of the Lin family.

In her previous life, Daiyu missed their old age and couldn't bear to ask them to leave their hometown and go to the capital. So he left them in their hometown in Gusu and guarded the Lin family's ancestral home for their retirement.

For this reason, many fields were specially left for them to take care of themselves.

Unfortunately, what Daiyu didn't know was that as soon as she entrusted her cousin Jia Lian to appease them, Jia Lian replaced the land deeds with those belonging to the Jia family. When there is a famine the next year, they will be sold to pay debts.

These old servants thought that Daiyu no longer wanted to support them, so they left in shame one by one, only complaining that they were old and useless and had caused trouble to the master's family.

The reason why Baochai knew about this was because her Uncle Xue handled the property sales. At that time, he wrote a letter specifically and asked Xue's mother if there was any obstruction.

Because they had this handle, the Xue family knew that Daiyu was not as favored in the Jia family as they imagined. The family's ambitions only grew more and more.

But Daiyu was completely unaware of this.

Originally, she often corresponded with those old servants and asked about their health. However, these old servants were getting older, and their replies often mentioned news of their deaths due to illness.

Daiyu couldn't bear it, so she didn't read their replies very much, so the Jia family was deceived by her.

Now that Xue Baochai was left with the responsibility of managing the housekeeping accounts, she naturally didn't want Jia Lian to take advantage of her. Every time such an important property issue occurs, it must be carefully checked four or five times before finding a separate and hidden place to store it.

It was obvious that she was acting on guard against others. How could Father Lin not know this? He has been observing Baochai's behavior since he guessed that his daughter was not his biological daughter.

Now he can conclude that his daughter's body belongs to his daughter. But now the soul inside is a poor man who knows his daughter very well.

He only called the people serving Daiyu one by one to ask, and he knew what the problem was. After knowing when his daughter had abnormalities, Lin's father remained silent for a day and chose to take care of Baochai.

Maybe one day, his poor daughter will come back again. He is taking good care of her body now just to retain that little bit of hope.

He was unwilling to admit that his daughter was dead. If he did, his young Yu'er would be too pitiful.

Baochai also accepted his love. Although this father's love was stolen, it was precisely because this father's love was so beautiful that she did not want to deceive him.

Otherwise, with Baochai's intelligence, how difficult would it be to perform in front of a seriously ill person?

In fact, this can be regarded as a different kind of two-way rush.

Even before Lin's father passed away, his funeral affairs had already been sorted out. Baochai lost her snobbery and only focused on the last relationship, learning her insights on life from Lin's father, the young man.

On this day, she had just served Lin's father to drink the medicine and sent away the relatives who came to visit Lin's father. Just when she was about to return to her residence, she was stopped by Lin's father.

"My son, it's time to talk about your dowry."

Father Lin smiled and dismissed everyone, leaving only Baochai. He directed Baochai to take out a brocade box from the secret passage and explained the matter while coughing.

"Inside this is all the inheritance of the Lin family that I have collected. Ahem, the family fortune accumulated from the prosperity of the Lin family is all in it. Ahem."

Baochai was moved and couldn't help but open it to take a look. She really wanted to know how much property the Lin family had.

The top item in the brocade box is a collection of account books. The homepage is the title deed of the Lin family's old home in Gusu.

"Ahem, I'm thinking that the old servants of our family will stay in the old house to look after the house. When you get married in the future, if you want to return to your parents' home, they will have a place to stay."

"Dad." Baochai opened his mouth to remind Lin's father that this matter must not be left to Jia Lian.

"Ahem, listen to me first. I know your concerns and have already made up my mind. The matters here have been entrusted to your master Jia Yucun Jia. In addition to having the proof of the land deed, I have also entrusted him with it. A good friend of mine in the court."

"Except for this, all of our family's property has been proven. In addition to being on guard against your grandfather's family, it is also on guard against your master."

Baochai immediately understood that because of her butterfly effect, Lin's father did not trust the Jia family and Jia Yucun as much as he did in his previous life. The backup plan he left must be extremely appropriate.

"Except for the old house and surrounding properties, I divided our family's property into three parts."

"One is to take one-fifth of it and give it to the Lin family and Jia Yu Village. Although they are separated by a generation, they are still your closest relatives in the world besides the Jia family. With these properties, you can leave a lasting relationship. , ask them to take care of you."

"Daddy." Baochai couldn't help but choked. If parents love their children, they have far-reaching plans. Lin Ruhai handles his family's wealth all for the sake of his daughter.

Seeing how Baochai was doing, Lin's father couldn't help but pat his daughter on the head. He was relieved to see that she understood his painstaking efforts and didn't seem to be so obsessed with money.

"Just don't blame me for being stupid and wasting money."

"How can a daughter be so strange? She knows that her father is doing it for my own good."

Father Lin smiled after hearing this and continued: "I took two-fifths of the remainder and gave it to your grandfather's family. In addition to your mother's dowry, this is a separate tribute to your grandfather's family."

"I heard from your wet nurse that your mother-in-law loves you the most in this family, and your two uncles' families are not bad either. Apart from them, your second brother Lian's family also favors you. I will make the decision and separate a part for you. Second brother Lian and second sister-in-law Lian. With this extra money, you can keep your dowry."

"I will divide the remaining belongings into two parts. Two-thirds will be given to your grandmother to take care of you, and the remaining one-third will be kept by yourself. She wrote a letter saying that you and Baoyu are in love... If it really happens , is your creation. If it fails, the dowry will be wasted by their family. As long as you come back empty, you will be able to survive. "

Baochai was frightened when she heard this. This father Lin is not stupid! Why was it that in the last life, the whole life was left to the care of the Jia family, and then it was swallowed up by those vampires of the Jia family?

Baochai looked at the account book in the box and figured it out for a moment. This family's business includes gold, silver and real estate, with a total of one million taels. It’s not much worse than Xue’s father’s income from his lifetime business.

The Xue family's millionaire fortune turned into 800,000 taels in one trip to Beijing.

When the Xue family left Rongguo Mansion, they had less than 500,000 taels left.

Xue's mother originally promised Baochai that she would leave her one hundred thousand taels as a dowry. It's a pity that in the end, only a few hundred thousand were left by Xue Pan and his sister-in-law Xia Jingui.

When Baochai finally got married, he only got thirty thousand taels.

This is already beyond the reach of ordinary people.

And now the money that Lin's father left for Baochai to keep alone was two hundred thousand taels. The money had been separately beaten into gold ingots and buried in a small house somewhere in the capital.

"You..." Baochai wanted to ask, but was afraid. He gritted his teeth several times and swallowed it back.

"You want to ask me why? Ahem, it's because you and Yu'er are different. Yu'er will think that we are all one family, and what you spend is what you spend. Money will come back after all. As long as the family is happy, true love is worth more than gold. .And you...you don't feel safe!"
