Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Lin Yuanzhi, who was standing by, simply picked up the teapot and poured water for him.

"Thank you!" Hu Shao drank five or six more cups before putting down the cup.

After drinking the water, Hu Shao took out a booklet from his chest and handed it to Lin Yinan, "Sister, take a look, we brought back more than 500 people with you this time."

Lin Yinan took it and opened the account book. Although Hu Shao was usually careless, he was actually very careful in his work. He knew how to register by surname. He knew how many households with each surname, how many people were in each household, and who were the family members. The booklet recorded everything clearly.

"Well, well done. I'll ask Second Aunt to make you a delicious meal later." Lin Yinan said.

Hu Shao's mouth watered when he heard about the delicious food, and he asked hurriedly, "What delicious food?"

"While you were away, we cleared the pond outside the county government office and caught a lot of fish. Aunt Zhang specially left some for the brothers outside and kept them in water tanks. They are very fresh." Speaking of the taste of fish, a young man couldn't help but sip.

Seeing that no one was following him, Lin Yinan asked, "Where are Pan Qingfeng and Lin Yisong?"

Hu Shao said, "They should be outside the county government office by now."

Lin Yinan, Yun Mo and the others stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."

As soon as they stepped out of the county government office, they saw Pan Qingfeng leading a group of old, young women and children walking towards them from the street at the city gate.

"Greetings, His Excellency the City Lord!" Pan Qingfeng bowed when he saw Lin Yinan.

Seeing this, the people behind him also followed suit and saluted.

Lin Yinan had already roughly read the booklet given by Hu Shao. The number of Pan Qingfeng's clansmen was not as many as he had said before, only more than a hundred people.

"How are your people doing?" Lin Yinan asked.

Pan Qingfeng was somewhat sad. "I am ashamed of the city lord's request. I only brought back more than a hundred people. When I arrived in Shigong City, many clan leaders were unable to survive and sold themselves to noble families as private slaves."

"The remaining tribesmen were unwilling to submit and clashed with the noble families. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise..."

As he spoke, his eyes were red. If he had come a little later, his grandfather and the others would have met with an accident.

A middle-aged man in the crowd limped forward and patted him on the shoulder soothingly, "Feng'er, don't be sad. This is not your fault."

Lin Yinan saw that his feet seemed to be injured, and then saw that most of the people in the crowd were injured to varying degrees, so he turned to Qianxia and ordered, "Go call doctors Lu and Lin."

"Yes." Qianxia took the order and left.

The clansmen behind Pan Qingfeng were very moved when they heard this. His grandfather stepped forward and saluted Lin Yinan.

"Lord City Lord, I heard from Feng'er that what kind of contract do I need to sign to stay in your Longtan County?"

"There's no rush. We can talk about it in detail after you recover from your injuries," said Lin Yinan.

The old man glanced at his grandson, Pan Qingfeng understood what he meant, and said to Lin Yinan, "Lord City Lord, what my grandfather meant is that the contract will have to be signed sooner or later, so it is better to sign it now, so that they will feel more at ease."

"In that case, then sign it."

Lin Yiheng quickly had the tables and chairs brought out, and asked Lin Fu to take out the contract he had copied and place it on the table.

At this time, Doctors Lu and Lin came out from the backyard.

Lin Yiheng instructed, "Everyone, after you sign the contract, you can go to the two doctors for consultation. The doctors will check everyone's health problems for free."

As soon as he finished speaking, a long line formed in front of the table waiting to sign the contract.

Led by Pan Qingfeng's grandfather, they signed the contract very readily without even reading it.

"Old man, why don't you read it carefully before signing?" Lin Yuanzhi reminded him.

Pan Qingfeng's grandfather waved his hands repeatedly, "Qingfeng has already told us, we already know what we should know, no need to look, I trust my grandson."

What he didn't say was that from the time he entered the city until now, his eyesight had not been blurry, and everything he saw was a thriving scene.

"We have nothing on us, if anyone wants to cheat us, we can only cheat us of our brute force." The people behind him were even more open-minded.

"Besides, I don't think you need to lie to us."

There were more than 500 households in total, and the contracts were signed quickly.

If someone was sick, they would take the prescription to the medicine boy and ask him to get the medicine for free.

Not only is medical treatment free here, but medicine is also free. Those who are in good health are so eager to ask the doctor to prescribe two sets of cooling and hot medicine.

After operating it several times, Lin Yiheng and Lin Yuanzhi were very familiar with the process and quickly signed contracts for everyone.

The house had already been cleaned up, so someone took them downstairs to rest.

Most of them were injured and had traveled such a long distance, so Lin Yinan let them rest for two days before going back to work.

Watching the crowd gradually leave, Hu Shao approached Lin Yinan and lowered his voice and said, "Sister, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

Lin Yinan rolled his eyes at him. Young people are just full of energy.

"Stop talking so much and say what you want to say."

Hu Shao laughed and said, "Grandma Liu is dead!"

"Who?" Lin Yinan couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

"Yu Niang is that vicious mother-in-law." Lin Yiheng reminded.

Lin Yinan suddenly realized what was going on and asked curiously, "How did she die?"

Hu Shao said, "She had an argument with someone in Yongqing City and was surrounded and beaten to death by a dozen beggars. Her eldest son and his wife saw that the situation was not good, so they didn't even take her body. They took the money in the house and ran away with the family of four."

Lin Yisong, who was standing by and hated evil, pouted, "Good thing he died! He should have died long ago."

"However, Cui Gensheng followed us back and is now kneeling at the city gate, begging for Yu Niang's forgiveness."

Yun Mo brought people back and just heard it. He frowned and said, "Didn't they divorce already?"

After thinking for a while, Lin Yinan turned to Lin Fu and said, "Ah Fu, go to the canteen and call Yu Niang over. It's up to her to decide whether Cui Gensheng will have a baby."

Everyone started moving tables and chairs into the county government office. Lin Yiheng took Lin Yuanzhi and others to the clerk's office at the back to sort out the documents.

Soon, Yu Niang came hurriedly, carrying her five-year-old child on her back.

"Why don't you put the dog down?"

Lin Yinan saw that she carried the child on her back while working every day and rarely put the child down.

Yu Niang said, "He will be asleep soon. It's okay. He is not heavy and I can carry him."

"How's Goudan doing lately?"

Lin Yinan walked behind her to look at the sleeping child, and her little face turned a little red.

Speaking of her son, Yu Niang smiled. "He's much better now. He can walk a few steps by himself with the help of a table and chair. Doctor Lu said that he will be able to walk by himself by the end of this year and should be able to go to school next year."

In the past, she would not have dared to think about it.

Lin Yinan pulled her to sit on the stool next to her, poured her a cup of tea, and told her about what happened between Mrs. Liu and Cui Gensheng.

Yu Niang was surprised at first, then calm, and then said with a firm expression, "Third Madam, I have divorced Cui Gensheng now. His affairs have nothing to do with me. He can kneel as long as he wants. As for how to deal with him, there is no need to ask me."

She gathered the strands of hair around her ears, her eyes showing no sadness or joy, as if she had never known Cui Gensheng.

Lin Yinan knew that Yu Niang had let go of the past.
