Chapter 511: Chapter 514 Not Even One Tael!_1
Because at Yin Yinyue’s most painful moment, not only did her father fail to offer comfort, he also snatched away her power to manage the household.
However, Yin Yinyue had no time to resent him.
In comparison, Yin Gang’s actions were even more detestable.
Yin Gang could say all sorts of nonsense when he wanted Silver, but once the Silver was in his hands, he acted as if he had amnesia, completely forgetting his solemn promises, didn’t he?
Yin Yinyue frowned and asked, "Uncle has deceived you for so many years, why do you still believe his lies?"
"Your uncle’s rank has been rising, he must be getting busier and busier. How could he think about my affairs every day?"
Yin Zheng defended his elder brother.
Yin Gang was his blood brother; he wouldn’t ignore him completely.
The reason there had been no movement these years was that Yin Gang’s official rank wasn’t high enough to have a say in the Prefecture Office.
But now, things had changed. Yin Gang had become the head of the Prefecture Office, and securing a position as County Magistrate for him would be a piece of cake.
However, when he said these words, there was an obvious lack of confidence. Yin Zheng knew deep down how Yin Gang had treated him over the years.
But besides Yin Gang, whom could he trust?
Yin Gang was his own brother, surely more reliable than outsiders.
"Then why hasn’t he forgotten to come ask us for money? How much did we help him to secure his position as Magistrate? But what about him? Has he done a single thing for you over these years? Let alone taking you with him to rise in rank and wealth, he hasn’t even sent a token gift!"
Yin Yinyue asked without holding back, having suppressed these emotions for years.
She had worked hard to manage the family business, yet in the end, a large portion of the profits went into someone else’s pocket. How could she not be angry?
Yin Zheng said with a stern face, "He’s your uncle, you must not talk nonsense!"
"Am I talking nonsense? If only my uncle would put in a little effort, you wouldn’t have been stuck as an assistant to the County Magistrate for a thousand years!" said Yin Yinyue with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
If her father had any real power, not to mention borrowing a few pieces of Liang Hao’s courage, he wouldn’t have dared to write a divorce letter.
Yin Zheng couldn’t hide his embarrassment; this had always been a sore point he didn’t want to talk about.
The Master, subordinate to the County Magistrate, was forever suppressed.
The bitterness of it was indescribable to others.
Yin Yinyue resolutely said, "Starting this year, I will not give Uncle a single tael of Silver, and as a divorced woman, I’m inauspicious, so I will no longer entertain him."
"Yue’er, your uncle said that this time it will definitely work out. Let’s trust him one more time."
Yin Zheng pleaded patiently, just in case it was true this time.
Yin Yinyue sneered softly, "Let’s wait until you become the County Magistrate. Then, I will present ten times the Silver."
"Do you think all this maneuvering doesn’t require Silver Coin? I’m still in charge of this family. Just do as I say!"
Yin Zheng invoked the authority of the head of the family, attempting to suppress Yin Yinyue.
Yin Yinyue said with a cold laugh, "The Silver I’ve given him in the past few years could buy the position of ten County Magistrates. Don’t try to scare me. I have control over the Silver. If I don’t want to hand it over, none of you can do anything about it."
Yin Yinyue held her head high, her features filled with pride,
After years immersed in the world of business, if she hadn’t possessed some skills, she would have been thoroughly devoured by others leaving not even bones behind.
As for Yin Zheng, he had no chance of bringing her down.
Yin Zheng felt he had already been quite patient, but being repeatedly disrespected by his daughter, his anger was naturally uncontainable.
He finally lost his temper, "Your uncle will come to the province for a visit in a month. If the Silver isn’t ready by then, you can just get out!"
After saying that, Yin Zheng stormed off.
Yin Zheng, this is perfect for you!
Yin Yinyue swiped the tea set from the table to the floor, taking several deep breaths to suppress her rage.
