CHAPTER 207: CHAPTER 207: APOLOGY

As soon as he entered the door, Daniu knelt down in front of Lin Sanshui, his eyes red, and slapped himself on the face, "Third Uncle, I have wronged you."

The sound was loud and real, without any falsehood.

"Daniu, what are you doing? Get up quickly!" Lin Sanshui’s face was also red, but it was because he was happy from drinking.

"Old San, just let him kneel. If it weren’t for my old face, I would have knelt down to you myself!" Lin Shui had never felt ashamed in his life, even when facing his own brother.

"Big Brother?" Lin Sanshui knew that it was probably Mrs. Wang who was behind the recipe issue.

It’s said an upright official finds it difficult to settle family affairs. Facing one’s relatives makes it difficult to either blame or not blame, and it’s truly hard to decide.

He certainly didn’t blame Lin Shui; he was aware of what kind of person his big brother was, but after all, Mrs. Wang was his daughter-in-law.

"Old San, Big Brother knows in his heart that you wanted to support me and Old Er, which is why you took us along to work. Usually, Daniu’s wife seemed honest; I didn’t expect her to do such a thing, secretly disclosing the recipe to her own family. I’ve already made Daniu divorce her; she was sent back to her family yesterday afternoon. Unless the Wang Family is willing to stop their sausage business, our family will never accept this daughter-in-law again. Big Brother feels he let you down; the recipe has already been leaked out, and if the Wang Family truly refuses to stop, there’s nothing I can do. In the future, Big Brother will have no face to keep working here..."

"Big Brother, you’re taking this too seriously. No matter what, you will always be my big brother. We can’t let someone else’s mistake ruin the bond between us brothers. Mrs. Wang has already been sent back to her family; let’s put this matter behind us. From now on, let’s carry on as usual." Lin Sanshui hurriedly said.

But Lin Shui waved his hand, "After such an incident, for you to let me continue working here, I truly have no face for it. Old San, just the fact that you’re not blaming me makes me very grateful to you. Our brotherly bond will never change; as for work, let’s leave it aside."

Money stirs emotions; now there’s Mrs. Wang, and the future inevitably holds more.

He is grateful that his brother is willing to help him. Compared to silver, he is more reluctant to let money harm the bond between brothers in the future.

No matter how Lin Sanshui tried to persuade him, Lin Shui remained unmoved, leaving Lin Sanshui feeling helpless, yet moved and worried about his elder brother.

After Lin Shui left with Daniu, Lin Ershui thought about it and wanted to make the same decision as Lin Shui.

But as soon as he spoke, Lin Sanshui retorted him.

Ultimately, the originally lively atmosphere dissipated, replaced by a heavy mood for everyone.

At dawn, Gu Nian wrapped herself up snugly and got out of bed, only to hear bad news.

Mrs. Wang, who had been sent back to Little Xizhuang, hanged herself last night. Although she was saved, she lost almost half her life. Now, the village chief of Little Xizhuang, along with her family, were blocking the main door of the Lin Family.

The commotion had attracted half of the village to come and watch the scene.

Lin Sanshui was worried about his big brother; he was about to take a look when Mrs. Jiang pulled him aside and said, "Dahu is about to leave. He’s just a child and doesn’t know much. Are you sure about letting him take Wanzi back to the restaurant alone? Niannian has been cooped up at home and hasn’t gone out these days; take her to town with you and have a good talk with the Young Master. Don’t forget the price we negotiated last night. If he doesn’t stand by us in times of trouble, there’s no need to be polite. Since he doesn’t care about relationships, we must talk about money!"
