The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan gave a bitter smile and felt a headache about this matter.

But he would never agree to abort the child.

"Then Miss Chen, tell me, what should be done about this matter? I'll listen to you."

Finally, he asked Chen Xue again.

After hearing this, I thought for a long time but couldn't think of any countermeasures.

Perhaps because of long-term thinking, she just wanted to stay by Lin Xiaofan's side.

But deep down she still hated Lin Xiaofan and was unwilling to marry him.

After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Then from today on, I will live in your home. But whether I marry you or not depends on your performance."

The further she spoke, the lower her voice became, as if she was losing courage.

When Lin Xiaofan heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said:

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

This is indeed a good choice.

Chen Xue is pregnant with his child, and he has a grudge against the Chen family. If she returns to the Chen family, no matter how she will be dealt with, the child in her belly cannot be saved.

Staying at his home, with someone taking care of her, the two of them would have a chance to develop a relationship.

Then he looked at the slave in green clothes and asked cautiously:

"That's fine, but can we not take this person with us?"

Although this slave is pretty good-looking, her eyes are too ferocious, and she is a time bomb if she stays at home.

"What do you mean!"

The slave in green clothes immediately raised the knife and looked at Lin Xiaofan with a look that wanted to eat him alive.

"No."

Chen Xue also refused.

"Okay, then you stay here."

Lin Xiaofan smiled bitterly and could only compromise with the two of them.

It seems that my home will not be safe in the future. After returning home, he must let Xiaoxuan teach him martial arts as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to protect himself.

Just when the situation was getting more and more embarrassing, the leader of the police hurriedly came over.

"Magistrate Lin, people gathered in the Yamen and said they are looking for you."

What are they here for?

Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan's heart sank. Could it be that he took office for Lin Yu?

Logically speaking, this matter would not spread so quickly. Could it be that something happened to Lin Yu?

If this is the case, Lin Yu must not be allowed to stay.

"Ms. Chen, wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Lin Xiaofan adjusted his facial expression and walked out.

Outside the lobby, there were dozens of people standing in the yamen. Lin Xiaofan glanced at them. They all looked to be in their forties or fifties, and none of them were dressed like ordinary people.

"Magistrate Lin!"

Seeing Lin Xiaofan come out, everyone saluted.

"Forgive me, why did you come to the Yamen this time?"

Lin Xiaofan asked straight to the point.

The people below looked left and right, and finally an old man in his fifties or sixties took a few steps forward, saluted Lin Xiaofan and said:

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, a few days ago, you sent Baotou leaders to recruit soldiers in our villages to form a convoy to resist the bandits. And we heard that the wages of this convoy were borne by County Magistrate Lin alone. "

It turned out to be because of this little thing!

When Lin Xiaofan heard this, he immediately understood that these people wanted to express their gratitude.

He waved his hand and said:

"I am the county magistrate, so naturally I cannot just sit back and watch the people in the county being plundered by rogue bandits. And the government has no money or food left. You have just experienced a heavy snowfall, so you probably don't have much food left in your hands, right? So I We will organize this escort team at our own expense.”

"To tell you the truth, I do some small business in the city and I have some spare money. It is enough to cover the expenses of a guard team."

Seeing Magistrate Lin's indifferent expression, the leading old man opened his mouth, feeling moved in his heart and a little moist at the corners of his eyes.

The county magistrate didn't even want the money and food delivered to his door. If the previous county magistrates had been left alone, I am afraid they would have been brought into the government long ago.

However, they are the leaders of each village. This time they came here under the entrustment of the villagers. If they take the money and food back again, they will definitely be ridiculed by the villagers.

"Magistrate Lin is righteous!"

The old man bowed again and then preached:

"You are the county magistrate. No matter how ferocious the bandits are, they can only bully us and cannot touch you at all. Under such circumstances, we are very grateful that you are willing to pay to form a convoy to fight against the bandits. . If this money comes from you, we will feel uneasy."

They are already satisfied with such a good official, so how can they let him spend money?

"It's such a small thing, nothing worth mentioning."

Lin Xiaofan spoke.

A few taels of silver a day was nothing to him.

Besides, the people of the escort team are equivalent to his private army. When the bandit rebellion is over, won't they be used by him?

In this troubled world, one's own armed forces are very important. Not to mention a few taels of silver a day, even dozens of taels are worth it.

"We come from various villages in Degao County. When we came to the Yamen this time, we brought food and hoped that Magistrate Lin would accept it."

After saying that, the old man bowed again.

A policeman walked over quickly and whispered:

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, there are many people coming outside, bringing hundreds of carts of grain and grass. I saw that the total amount must be three to four hundred shi."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly and bowed to everyone:

"Fellow fellow villagers, to tell you the truth, I am also from Degao County. In recent years, Qingzhou County has experienced frequent disasters and extremely high taxes. The food you sent must have been squeezed out from house to house, right?"

Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads.

What County Magistrate Lin said is true. There are many families who are almost out of food, but they still have to contribute some food.

Because they had suffered several disasters caused by rogue bandits, every time the food they had saved so hard for a year was robbed. And the county magistrates all did nothing.

Magistrate Lin was willing to form a convoy for them to fight against the bandits, and they were also willing to contribute their meager efforts.

"County Magistrate Lin, just accept it. We are used to living a hard life, so it doesn't hurt to eat less."

"That's right, Magistrate Lin. How can we take back the things we are sending out? If we take the food back, we will feel uneasy!"

"Just take it, Magistrate Lin. This is our intention."

Everyone spoke one after another. Before coming, everyone in the village had told them to hand over the food to County Magistrate Lin.

If they take the things back, firstly, they will have a bad conscience, and secondly, they will not be able to explain to the people in the village!

Lin Xiaofan sighed slightly. It seemed that if he didn't take the car, these people would probably not leave.

Thinking about it, he said:

"Fellows and fellow villagers, I have accepted your wishes. Otherwise, you can take the grain back first and treat it as something you owe me. If this year is still a good harvest year, how about you pay it back later?"

"I am the county magistrate. If I see you hungry, I will feel uneasy. I hope you will not make things difficult for me."

"Take this food back and wait until there is a good harvest. Then we won't be in debt."

After hearing this, the leader thought for a moment and realized that it was not an option to waste it like this. Magistrate Lin would never accept this food, so he said:

"Okay, Magistrate Lin, let's take these grains back first. When the harvest comes, you must harvest them!"

"Don't worry, if you don't give it to me, I will beg for it from you."

Lin Xiaofan said with a smile.
