[Comprehensive] Tragedy Subversion

Chapter 24 Through Madame Grandet

After solving the problem of eating, the next thing Lin Anan has to think about is how to prevent Eugenie from falling in love with Charlie.

Lin Anan has no affection for Charlie, a playboy who loves vanity and has a bad heart.Thinking about how Eugenie treated him in the original book, and how he treated Eugenie, it is even more disgusting.

Besides, Eugenie was Charlie's cousin.Cousins ​​get together, which is clearly incest in Chinese eyes.Of course, Westerners don't pay attention to this, but Lin Anan can't accept it.

Poor Eugenie, it's all right if she pays by mistake because of her infatuation.Knowing that Charlie had fallen in love with a noble lady, in order to let him have no worries, he did not hesitate to spend millions to fill up the huge debt left by Charlie's father, but he married Mr. De Pengfeng - a hypocritical and stingy man. The man, who became a figurehead husband and wife, kept his innocence for Charlie until his death.

In Lin An'an's opinion, Eugenie is too kind and can be called the Holy Mother of the West.

Therefore, how to change Eugenie has become Lin Anan's top priority.It's not difficult to drive Charlie away. Even if she doesn't make a move, isn't there still Mr. Grandet?He was not an old miser who would let a poor boy abduct his daughter and share his vast fortune.If it is learned that Charlie is trying to calculate his family business, it will definitely make Charlie die ugly.

The difficulty lies in how to change Eugenie's mind and how to measure it.After all, it was necessary to change Eugenie's character so that she would no longer be so credulous, but if she did too much, she was worried that Eugenie would become the next Mr. Grandet.

Lin Anan thought that she might simply take Eugenie to Paris and let her get in touch with the outside world, lest she be ignorant of the world and be too innocent and kind.

It costs a lot to go to Paris. Mr. Grandet, who has been stingy all his life, feels heartbroken when he thinks that his wife and daughter will spend his hard-earned wealth in Paris, a gold-selling cave.

After the heartache was over, he said angrily: "No, I will never let you go to Paris. You can go, but I will never give you a word. My hard-earned money, I didn't ask you to be so extravagant."

Lin Anan is not a submissive character. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "Oh, the money you worked so hard to earn? Didn't I hand over the money I inherited from my mother to you?"

When Mr. Grandet heard her mentioning the rich inheritance he got from his mother-in-law, his momentum immediately weakened: "Madam, it's not that I don't let you spend money, but I can't go to places like Paris." He also proposed He came up with a compromise plan, "How about this, I'll take you around the neighborhood, and you can buy whatever you want. Ma'am, is this okay?"

Lin Anan ignored him, and said to Eugenie: "Since your father is unwilling to pay, we will go to the banker, Mr. Grassan. Anyway, everyone knows that our family has money, so we want to ask Mr. Grassan to borrow some money to spend." , not a problem."

Mr. Grandet was really going crazy: "Madam, don't go, you have to pay interest on borrowing money." Then he sighed and said that the family was unlucky, and hoped that Lin Anan's conscience would find out and change his mind.

Lin Anan understood what he was thinking, and didn't expose it, just smiled slightly, and pulled Eugenie out.

Mr. Grandet hurriedly stopped his complaints, and said with a smile on his face: "Madam, don't be angry, I'll go get you money right away."

In order to make him get the money more easily, Lin Anan asked Eugenie to leave first, and said to Mr. Grandet: "Sir, do you think that going to Paris is for myself?"

Mr. Grandet asked sullenly: "Then what are you doing?"

Lin Anan sighed: "I'm here to increase my knowledge for Eugenie. Otherwise, she has been living in the city of Saumur for 20 years and has never seen the outside world. If a man deceives her in the future, wouldn't it be hard work for you?" All the accumulated family business has been given away?"

Mr. Grandet imagined the horrible scene where his gold coins were taken away by outsiders, and suddenly felt that the small investment was worth it, "You are right, you should go." After saying that, he went to the vault to get the money, and then Reluctantly, he gave the money to Lin Anan.

Lin Anan took Eugenie to play all the way, and brainwashed her from time to time, and asked Mr. Grandet to explain business matters to Eugenie after returning home.

Although Mr. Grandet is stingy, his business talent is indeed extraordinary.As his daughter, Eugenie was naturally not an idiot, but she was too kind-hearted and lacked insight into people.After going through all these things, naturally it is not so simple.Although she is not as fond of money as Mr. Grandet, she is not the ignorant girl who was ignorant of the world.

At this moment, Lin Anan learned that Grandet had received a letter from his brother, saying that Charlie was coming to Saumur to stay for a few days.

Lin Anan's eyes lit up, just in time, isn't the playboy from Paris sent to Eugenie's door to practice his skills?If Eugenie is not bewitched by him, there is no need to worry about other things in the future.Therefore, Lin Anan was looking forward to Charlie's arrival.

Charlie is indeed a greasy-faced little boy, his speech is as sweet as honey, and his dress is also the most fashionable in Paris today.

However, at this time he did not know Mr. Grandet's huge net worth, nor did he know that his father was about to go bankrupt.

Seeing that not only the door of Grandet's house is old and dilapidated, but also the house is shabby, which looks like the most typical dilapidated family, so he doesn't think much of them.

In his eyes, Eugenie, although she was not bad, was still older than herself, and she was brought up in Saumur. She was simply a country girl, far inferior to the fashionable ladies in Paris. , therefore, was not enthusiastic about Eugenie.

Eugenie had been educated by Mr. Grandet and Lin Anan, so she didn't have a special liking for such a pampered boy like Charlie.Seeing that he disliked his family very much, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, wishing that he would leave earlier, and did not develop any love for him.

When Charlie learned that his father went bankrupt and that he had suddenly changed from a rich man to a pauper with negative assets, and that Mr. Grandet had huge wealth, and Eugenie was the sole heir to his huge assets, he immediately moved his mind. , began to court Eugenie.

Its attitude is condescending before and respectful later, and it is not inferior to China's Sichuan face-changing, which is really amazing.

Eugenie saw Charlie's transformation clearly, and despised his character even more in her heart.However, they are relatives after all, so Eugenie comforted Charlie with good words and gave him 1000 francs, but she didn't even mention a word about repaying debts for Charlie's father.

Mr. Grandet has no kinship with his brother, and when he thinks that his brother made a fortune, he didn't help him a little bit. Now that he is bankrupt, of course he has no right to ask himself to lend a helping hand.

Without any real help, Charlie had to embark on a gold panning journey to India.

Lin Anan was deeply relieved that Eugenie was not seduced by Charlie.

The life of the Grandet family continued to go on without any waves.

It's a pity that Mr. Grandet can't change the essence of miserliness.

As long as she saw Lin An'an and Eugenie dressed up beautifully and eating delicious food, they would instinctively calculate how much they spent.Then my heart hurt even more, and I desperately saved money.He is more than seventy years old, and he is so good at calculating, so he naturally worked hard, and within two years he ran out of oil and burned out.

However, Mr. Grandet had arranged everything before his death, and Eugenie gradually revealed her talent in business.

Without the stingy Mr. Grandet, Lin Anan and Eugenie lived happier lives.

There are many men vying to be courteous to Eugenie, and Eugenie, who is constantly improving her eyesight, finally chooses a man who is also rich and good at earning money and enjoying life.

Let's go back to the Charlie thing.

In order to earn a large sum of money as soon as possible, Charlie did not hesitate to engage in lucrative businesses such as smuggling and human trafficking.

It has to be said that Charlie was born to be good at doing these things, and within a few years, he made a fortune.

Charlie, who made a fortune, began to pursue the life of the upper class. In order to enter the upper class as soon as possible, he proposed to an aristocratic lady.

This noble lady is indeed of high birth, but her family is declining day by day. She is greedy for Charlie's money, so she is willing to marry him.

With the help of the noble lady, Charlie naturally quickly integrated into the upper class.

Unfortunately, before the marriage, it was discovered that he was the son of the wealthy Paris businessman who went bankrupt a few years ago.It was all good now, and the creditors came to the door one after another, asking him to repay the debt for his father.

The noble lady heard that Charlie was the son of a bankrupt rich businessman, and his family property was not enough to fill the hole of the year, so she immediately repented of the marriage.

Charlie was not willing to pay his father's debts and plunge himself into poverty again.At this time, he heard that Mr. Grandet was dead and Eugenie had inherited a huge fortune, so he once again set his mind on Eugenie.Soon, she wrote a long and affectionate letter to Eugenie, expressing her longing.

Eugenie laughed and showed it to her husband, and then forgot about it.

Charlie failed to get Eugenie's assistance, his property was seized, and he was reduced to pauper again, so he had to go to India again.

But this time, his luck was not so good. Unfortunately, he contracted cholera and died in India.

Eugenie didn't know about this. At this time, she had given birth to a daughter, and planned to have a son in a few years. She lived happily and sweetly.
