Chapter 50 Bandits Arrive

to buy it from us. If the Purple-Clothed Maiden wants to find her, just wait for her next time she comes to buy tofu.""Tofu"In purple, her face was strange as she questioned, "When will she be here ne...Evening, Yang Lin's home.

When the women saw the silver and deeds brought back from Liu's house, they all swallowed hard.

"All done!"

Little Jiu excitedly announced: “Two thousand three hundred and eighty taels of silver, eighty-five taels of gold, three deeds to a house, one hundred and twenty-eight land deeds, totaling seventeen hundred and eighty acres of farmland!”

Little Jiu closed the ledger and excitedly said, "Brother, we're rich!"

All the women's faces were very strange.

Liu Youcai's success today is all thanks to Yang Lin.

But he surprisingly left all his property to Yang Lin

Li Yuyao asked in puzzlement, "Why did he do that"

The women all nodded in agreement, looking at Yang Lin curiously.

Yang Lin sighed: "Why Because he's a smart person, he sees through it all."

Women still don't understand.

Even if he's gone, with over three thousand taels of silver, his family can live comfortably for a lifetime! Even without entrusting it to Yang Lin, they can still live well.

"Still don't get it"

Yang Lin smiled wryly and said, "If there were a baby on the street holding a gold nugget, what do you think would happen to it"

Xiao Jiu hurriedly said, "Will it be taken away"

Yang Lin nodded. “That’s right, Liu family's situation is actually not optimistic!”

"Liu Youcai may be unscrupulous in his work, but he is capable."

"When he was alive, he could protect the Liu family's wealth; now that he is gone, if the Liu family still possesses such vast riches, it will be constantly targeted and they may ultimately face ruin!"

"So I said Liu Youcai was a smart man, he was ruthless and knew the saying, 'If you don't cut off ties, you'll suffer from them.'"

"The wealth has become a burden for the Liu family now. By giving me the wealth, he's buying my promise, it's his best choice!"

Li Yuxiang sat there, listening silently to this, her clenched fist trembling.

Once upon a time, when his father was on his deathbed, he also said to him the same words that Yang Lin just said!

The Emperor knew from the start that he might not be able to hold onto the throne, so he gave her two choices.

One option was to give the throne to the King of Yan, in exchange for his promise to ensure her safety for the rest of her life!

But from childhood, the proud Li Yuyao chose the second option.

He ascended the throne himself, opening a precedent for all future generations!

...Result.

She lost!

And now, the Liu family entrusts their wealth to Yang Lin. How similar this is!

A landowner in a village can make wise choices.

And what about the person I used to be

Li Yuyao thought, she couldn't help but bite her red lips tightly, deeply unwilling...

The next morning, just as Yang Lin was preparing to plan his next steps, Zhao Fuguai rushed over in a hurry.

"Something's wrong! Something's wrong!"

From afar, Zhao Fugui shouted loudly.

What's wrong

Yang Lin poured a glass of water for Zhao Fuguì.

“Bandits! Bandits are coming! Just now, people from Xiaoliu Village came to report that bandits went to Xiaoliu Village. In an hour or two, they will be here!”

Zhao Fuguai grabbed Yang Lin's arm and said nervously.

Yang Lin frowned: "Why would bandits come at this time"

Zhao Fugui also nodded in agreement: "Who would disagree During this period of transition between seasons, bandits wouldn't come at any other time."

"Oh, never mind why he's here. Nephew, go to the riverbank immediately and tell the tofu factory to stop working. Then, take your wife and money and run to the back mountains as fast as you can!"

“I'll also tell others to come. Remember to run fast!” Zhao Fugui said, and then he was about to leave.

"Uncle Three, wait a moment. How many bandits are there" Yang Lin asked.

"Uh"

Zhao Fugui was taken aback. "Why do you ask that"

"Just casually asking, in all my years, I've never seen a bandit before."

Yang Lin said calmly.

Koushan Village was well-located, being farther away from the bandits' mountain lair. Thus, every time the bandits descended the mountain to raid, other villages would send word before they reached Koushan Village.

If there is a lot of food at home, and it cannot be moved for a while, it will be robbed.

But Yang Lin was too poor in the past, living alone. Every time bandits came, he would follow the villagers into the mountains for refuge and didn't worry about anything valuable in his home being stolen by bandits, so he hasn't seen any bandits to this day.

Zhao Fugui twitched the corners of his mouth: "What's there to see about bandits They are all demons who kill without batting an eye. I heard that this group that came this time, there were seven or eight of them."

"Only seven or eight"

Yang Lin was surprised again.

Zhao Fugui chuckled, "My little ancestor, you're already seven or eight years old! You wouldn't want to mess with bandits, would you Don't even think about it! For your father's sake, I won't let you cause trouble!"

Yang Lin hurriedly nodded: "Uncle Three, don't worry, I won't make trouble. You go and inform the others quickly."

When Zhao Fugui stepped out, all the women looked towards Yang Lin.

"Lord husband, do you want to fight the bandits" Si Mei asked.

Yang Lin did not answer, but looked at the women and asked, "Are you afraid"

"Be not afraid!"

Third Sister Liao Hongying immediately shouted.

Li Yuxi also shook her head.

The rest hesitated for a moment, but then their faces lit up with excitement.

Yesterday, facing the county magistrate's constables, they almost came to blows.

Now there are only seven or eight bandits. Compared to before, it doesn't seem very scary.

"Alright, since you're not afraid, let's do this!" Yang Lin said.

We don't have much time, let's all get to action now.

"Xiao Jiu, go to the tofu shop and tell them about the bandits. Ask them to stop work and put all their valuable tools away."

"Little Seven, Little Eight, you two go and inform the logging team and the quarrying team."

"Big sister, second sister, the two of you go to the blacksmith's forge to retrieve crossbow parts."

"The rest of you, come help me decorate the house. We'll just stay here and wait for them!"

After Yang Lin finished speaking, everyone immediately sprang into action.

Just an hour or two, there's not much to prepare. Just some cover for them to hide behind and shoot arrows! Provide covering fire!

Soon, the elder sister and second sister retrieved the crossbow components. Everyone assembled them together.

This time, a total of five sets of parts were refined. Adding the previous three sets, there are a total of eight crossbows and one hundred crossbow arrows!

Besides Xia Qi, Xia Ba, and Xia Jiu, everyone else has one.

"Eldest Sister, Second Sister, you two hide in the vegetable garden, using the haystack as cover, and conduct crossfire from both sides."

"Si Mei, Wu Mei, Liu Mei, the three of you stay in the courtyard and focus on shooting those bandits in front of you. Ignore everything else."

"Third sister, how was it going on top of Aunt Lin's house"

Liao Hongying glanced at the roof of that house, and nodded.

"Great location! No problem!"

Lin Shen's home is just next door, a little further from our yard. The location is excellent, but because it's a bit farther away, Yang Lin worried that others wouldn't be able to hit the target accurately, so she arranged for Liao Hongying to stay there.

"My lady, we'll both go to bed together later!"

Li Yuxiao nodded.

With everyone's positions arranged, Yang Lin took a deep breath.

This battle, they could only win, not lose!married Qiao Yun, now we're a family. You, you are my brother-in-law..."Looking at Yang Lin's cold gaze, Liu Liang's voice grew smaller and smaller until finally, even he himself could no longer hear...
