Chapter 440 Survival Guide for Encountering a Sick Woman (27)

Just when Lin Mu was racking his brains to try the password, Mother Zhong appeared quietly, "Qing Ling, what are you looking for?"

"Ah." Lin Mu was taken aback, "I'm just curious to see what's in this safe."

"Are you helping that kid from the Ming family find a design album for woodcarving?" Mother Zhong saw through Lin Mu's purpose.

Seeing this, Lin Mu didn't hide it, and nodded generously: "Yes, Mom, he helped me a lot, and I gave him the design album, which can be considered as a favor to him."

Mother Zhong snorted coldly: "Why are favors so valuable?"

She pulled Lin Mu out of calligraphy and asked the servant to prepare two breakfasts.

Sitting at the dining table, Mother Zhong drank a cup of hot milk before she said, "Qingling, it's not that your mother is stingy. If it's an ordinary design drawing, let alone a design drawing, I'm just giving your father's drawing to me. It doesn't matter if he has it. That atlas is some years old. It is not your father's design at all, but the design draft of a woodcarving master in the Qing Dynasty in his later years. He passed away before he could make it. This atlas After several twists and turns, it passed into the hands of the Zhong family. The Zhong family knew its value, and anyone who got it would have obtained a martial arts secret book that can directly reach the peak. Therefore, the Zhong family passed it down from generation to generation as a family heirloom."

"Your father." Zhong Mu paused, "You also know that he has no ability and likes to take shortcuts. He wanted to take the album and make wood carvings and become famous overnight. The number of designs in it was enough for him to eat for several days. Ten years ago. But your grandfather didn't allow it. He despised people who took shortcuts like this. Therefore, he forced your father to paint oil paintings and made him swear a poisonous oath that he would never use this wood carving album. .”

"Later, he found Zhong Qingshu's representative painting." Zhong's mother said with emotion: "It's really a crime, he might as well take the album and copy it as it is. Your grandfather passed away, and your father has a representative painting. I stopped thinking about doing woodcarving. But when I was drunk, I would occasionally mention this matter. The child of the Ming family heard the news for some reason and wanted it all the time. He tried his best to get close to you, wanting to get that This album. He is also useless, just like your father."

"Then you still want me to marry him?" Lin Mu saw that Zhong's mother's attitude was quite different before and after. He clearly listed Zhong Qingshu as the No. 1 son-in-law before, so why doesn't he look down on him now.

Zhong Mu smiled and put a sandwich for Lin Mu: "Eating more breakfast is good for your health and you won't gain weight. In fact, if you get married, he is indeed one of the best candidates. His family conditions are quite good and he is a pretty good person." , it doesn’t matter if I give him the album, you two can definitely continue the glory of the Zhong family. However, if he gets the album without getting married, the first person he wants to deal with is our Zhong family. "

"You mean..." Lin Mu swallowed the sandwich in his mouth, "If we get married, we are a family and share weal and woe. If we don't get married, he will attack us because he is afraid that others will know that his glory is copied? "

"Of course, Qingling, you should look at the reality. The love in novels is all deceitful, and the truth is that the reality is riddled with holes." Mother Zhong lovingly touched Lin Mu's face.

"I see, Mom, I won't give the album to Ming Anjie lightly." Although Lin Mu didn't think that Ming Anjie's character would be so extreme, she couldn't handle men, especially men with a lot of career. bet.

Seeing that Lin Mu agreed, Mother Zhong was in a good mood, picked up half a sandwich and started eating, "By the way, Qingling, I have something to discuss with you."

"Tell me." Lin Mu said vaguely while still eating.

"Now your father has passed away, and Zhong Qingshu is locked up by you again. We can't just rely on your father's savings to sit and eat. If this continues, even mountains of gold and silver will be eaten up by us." Mother Zhong looked around: "Look, there's no need for money here. It's for servants, drivers, meals, clothes for you and me..."

"Mom, after I finish these things, I will work hard to paint." Lin Mu promised: "Don't worry, when Dad is gone, I will take responsibility and I will support the family."

"Qingling, if we want to maintain the dignity of our Zhong family, we can't rely on you enough. Don't worry about what your mother says about the paintings you are drawing now. Without your father and Zhong Qingshu, who will look at your paintings? " Zhong's mother said her intention: "I see that you brought a lot of Zhong Qingshu's paintings for your father last time, and you haven't had time to publish them. Why don't we use this as a gimmick to hold a painting exhibition for you, and every time you take Get out a few photos of your father's unpublished posthumous work, and hype it up."

"Mom, absolutely not!" Lin Mu objected: "My father's paintings were painted by Zhong Qingshu. This matter is already too wrong. Are you going to make mistakes again and again? Those paintings belong to Zhong Qingshu, they are his. His hard work and talent, we are doing him an injustice."

Zhong Mu persuaded Lin Mu: "As long as Zhong Qingshu's paintings are modern, I will publish them in his name, but isn't it? Qing Ling, you can't live in an ivory tower forever, you have to be more realistic. Our mother Women don’t have many chips, so they have to make full use of every chip, you know?”

"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand." Lin Mu hopes that Zhong Qingling will never understand, she hopes that Zhong Qingling will always retain the innocence in her body, "Mom, I will work hard, whatever my paintings are worthy of, I will not Hype, if I can't afford such a big villa, then let's change to a smaller one. I can live a life according to my ability. But there is one thing, I only rely on myself."

"Qing Ling, you are such a yellow croaker." Mother Zhong poked Lin Mu's forehead with hatred, "Forget it, think about it for yourself, don't be polished by society when the time comes. Ask me to help you plan."

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Lin Mu broke up with Zhong's mother this breakfast.

Ming Anjie came secretly to ask for the album several times, but Lin Mu blocked her back. She was still thinking about what Zhong's mother said, and she didn't know what attitude she should take towards Ming Anjie.

However, after returning in vain again and again, Ming Anjie finally lost his composure and went to find Mother Zhong, who turned her back.

He came to Lin Mu again to ask for marriage, but Lin Mu would never dare to help Zhong Qingling make a decision for such a major life event as marriage, let alone someone with other purposes like Ming Anjie.

At noon that day, Lin Mu accompanied Mother Zhong to finish the meal. She returned to Zhong Qingshu's villa. She wanted to order a takeaway and eat some more. Mother Zhong ate a diet meal, and she was not full.

As a result, Lin Mu saw that Cai's parents were already waiting for her there, and she touched her stomach, which really hurt her stomach.
