The Lin family was one of the top families in Wangjiang City. Unlike the Wang, Fang, and Zhang families of Maplewood City, the Lin family stood out in Wangjiang City.
Especially after Lin Zhengren won first place in the Three Cities Dao Discussion, their reputation reached its peak.
Although there was the incident of Zhu Weiwo suppressing the city with his spear, it wasn't just the Lin family that lost face, but the entire Wangjiang City. Therefore, it didn't damage the Lin family's power much.
Some people were glorious, while others were depressed.
The more glorious those people were, the more depressed he was.
Lin Zhenglun fell from the clouds to the dust overnight after losing the Lin family's medicinal herbs business that was so easy to obtain.
As a member of the Lin family, he naturally didn't have to worry about food and clothing. But in the past, he would call his friends to Wangjiang Restaurant. Now, he could only drink on the streets and seek his dreams.
He hated it deeply, but there was nothing he could do.
Lin Zhengli was the direct descendant of the Lin family, an elite in Wangjiang City's Dao Academy. His father was the head of the Lin family, and his brother was Lin Zhengren!
What did he have to compete with others?
Some things were destined. He didn't believe it before, but now he had no choice but to believe it.
…
"Fill it up!" Lin Zhenglun swayed into the wine shop like a zombie and threw a fat gourd on the table.
The owner of the wine shop took the wine gourd with a troubled expression. "Young … Master Lin, you haven't …"
"What?" Lin Zhenglun suddenly stood up straight and stared at the owner in a daze. "Are you afraid that I can't pay for the wine? I'll pay at the end of the month! "
"Fine, fine, fine." After all, he was a descendant of the Lin family. No matter how shabby the wine shop owner was, he couldn't afford to offend him. He could only lower his head and drink.
Suddenly, a voice penetrated the wine shop. "Isn't this Brother Zhenglun?"
Lin Zhenglun turned around and saw Lin Zhengli surrounded by a group of people. It seemed that he was doing something and passed by here. Then, he heard Lin Zhenglun and the wine shop owner arguing.
"Zhengli … Young Master Lin," Lin Zhenglun said with difficulty. The current scene was too embarrassing, especially when Lin Zhengli saw it.
Lin Zhengli looked up at the sky and then at Lin Zhenglun. He smiled and said, "It's broad daylight. You're in the mood to drink."
"I've made a fool of myself." Lin Zhenglun forced a smile, picked up the wine gourd, and left.
He was practically running away like a stray dog.
"I suddenly remembered … The medicine store seems to have lost a manager recently. We're short of people!" Lin Zhengli said casually from behind him.
Lin Zhenglun stopped in his tracks.
He turned around and forced an unnatural smile on his face. "Young Master Lin, do you think … I can do it?"
"With Brother Zhenglun's ability, there is naturally no problem." With a smile, Lin Zhengli moved closer to Lin Zhenglun and said in a low voice, "I heard that the widow you married is quite beautiful … Is that right?"
"Ruyi?" Lin Zhenglun took two steps back. "No, no!"
He shook his head vigorously, as if he could not resist the terrible struggle in his heart. "This won't do!"
Lin Zhengli stood up straight and maintained his calm smile. "I won't force you."
He turned his head and looked at the owner of the wine shop who was smiling obsequiously. He pointed at Lin Zhenglun and said loudly, "This is a member of my Lin Family! You can't look down on him! From now on, if he wants any wine, just serve him. At the end of the month, just come to my Lin Family to settle the bill. "
The owner of the wine shop replied loudly, "Yes! Since Young Master Lin has spoken, I dare not neglect! "
Lin Zhenglun forced a smile. "Thank you, Young Master Lin."
"You're welcome." Lin Zhengli waved his hand and walked forward.
That group of people crowded around him and went far away.
From time to time, flattery could be heard.
"Young Master Lin is so righteous!"
"What Young Master Lin? You have no eyesight! You should call him Young Clan Leader! "
…
Lin Zhenglun carried the wine gourd and staggered back home.
Today's wine seemed to be particularly strong. He only drank two mouthfuls on the way, but he seemed to be drunk already.
This was a courtyard with two entrances that was cleaned up very well. In particular, there were some flowers and plants in the front yard that were taken care of very well. It was especially pleasing to the eye.
Lin Zhenglun's feet were unsteady and knocked over a flower pot. He became impatient and simply kicked it to pieces!
Crash!
Song Ruyi hurriedly came out from the house and could not help but scold, "Lin Zhenglun! What's wrong with you? "
"It's none of your business!" Lin Zhenglun glanced at her and staggered back into the house.
Song Ruyi moved sideways and blocked in front of him. She held back her grievance and said, "You soak in the wine jar all day long, what is the meaning of this? Don't you want to live anymore? "
"Ha! Interesting. "Lin Zhenglun carried the wine gourd and laughed," What, you still want to divorce me? "
"Fine, we'll divorce!"
"Ha, I didn't hear clearly. What did you say?"
Song Ruyi tightly closed her eyes and forced back her tears. When she opened them again, they were cold and indifferent, "I said, let's divorce."
"Ha! Ha! "
Lin Zhenglun laughed and suddenly smashed the wine gourd in his hand on the ground!
The wine gourd bounced twice on the ground and rolled down the stairs. The gourd itself was not smashed, but the cork of the gourd was knocked away and the wine flowed out. The entire courtyard was instantly filled with the smell of wine.
"Why don't you look at yourself!" Lin Zhenglun angrily roared, "A widow and now you're willing to be an abandoned wife! Do you think you can still marry into a good family? "
Song Ruyi gritted her teeth and said, "It's still better than being with a waste!"
"What did you say? Say it again! " Lin Zhenglun took a large step forward and grabbed her neck. He pushed her against the wall and his eyes were bloodshot, "Say it again!"
Song Ruyi's face turned red and she struggled to say, "You ….. Choke me to death! Anyway, life ….. is better than death! "
Lin Zhenglun let go of his hand and fell back two steps.
"You still feel wronged? You still feel wronged? "Lin Zhenglun pointed at her and said," You sent money to Maplewood City! Sent jade! Isn't that right? You took my money to support your ex-husband's child! Do you know our family's situation now? Father can't even afford to drink wine! "
Song Ruyi bent over and coughed for a while before she could breathe normally. She looked at the man in front of her and felt that everything was too strange.
"Let's not talk about whether or not I should send things to An 'an. Just my dowry alone is enough for me to send to her for ten years! "
"Your dowry?" Lin Zhenglun dragged out his voice and suddenly roared, "Where is it?"
He shouted, "Damn it, why do I have nothing!?"
"You were robbed because you didn't have the ability. Do you blame me?"
"I didn't have the ability? I didn't have the ability! "Lin Zhenglun's face was red and his neck was thick. He no longer had any elegance." I just didn't have a good father! That short-lived ghost didn't leave me anything other than the surname 'Lin'! "
He looked at Song Ruyi and said fiercely, "Otherwise, how can I marry you? Can I let others laugh at me? Laugh at me for marrying a widow? "
"Now you despise me for being a widow?"
Song Ruyi's voice was trembling. "You said that you were a descendant of the Lin family and came from a high family. You were afraid that others would look down on you and laugh at you. I even left An 'an behind and came to Wangjiang City with you!
I asked her brother to take care of her. His brother is only seventeen years old! He hasn't even been crowned! I even took away all of his property!
My heart is already so ruthless. Shouldn't I send her some money? Ah? My descendant of the Lin family! "
She walked closer and looked straight at Lin Zhenglun. She questioned angrily, "You didn't eat or wear anything. You're a descendant of the Lin family who lives in the second courtyard?!"
Pa!
Lin Zhenglun slapped her to the ground.
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! "
Lin Zhenglun turned around and walked out. He stepped on the pool of wine and slipped to the ground.
He quickly got up and stumbled out of the room. "That's ridiculous! Ridiculous! "
"Lin Zhenglun!" Song Ruyi lay on the ground and covered her face with her hands. Tears flowed down her face as she gritted her teeth. "Now that things have come to this, I only have one question for you. Was it true when you said that you loved me?"
"Aha, aha! Love? "
Lin Zhenglun kicked another flower pot away.
"Damn it! What kind of illusory thing is this? "
He ran out of the courtyard as if he was fleeing.
He didn't know where he wanted to go or where he could go. But it seemed that he didn't have the face to stay any longer.
He had to leave. He had to escape.
A stray dog had truly lost his home.
