The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

"In that case, let's meet at the government office!

What kind of parents you are? The government will find out once the time comes, and the people will naturally know the truth too!

You will be able to judge right from wrong!

I will accept whatever sentence the government gives me when the time comes!

But you want to take three thousand taels of silver and give you a word? Dream on! "

Lin Dashan stood up and walked out, directly expressing his attitude and not continuing the conversation.

When the six members of the Li family opposite heard the six words "The government will know once it investigates", their eyes became panicked for a moment.

A very brief moment.

Lin Dashan happened to be right opposite them and saw everything.

His mind moved slightly and his eyes darkened, but his face remained expressionless and he continued to walk out.

Soon, the old man Li called out from behind, "Wait! If we really go to the government office, both sides will suffer. We can take a step back and not ask for your three thousand taels. Give us two thousand taels of silver and we will sign a contract immediately. In addition to promising not to bother you again in the future, I can also tell you a secret about Su Lan! You only have this one chance, so think about it carefully. But you don't have much time, so I'll only give you one night to think about it!"

Hearing this, Lin Dashan looked back, took a deep look at these people, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Okay, I will definitely think it over carefully tonight."

After saying that, he lifted the partition curtain connecting to the front hall and walked out.

The gray curtain that fell again swayed slightly in the air and it took a while for it to become still.

The young man holding a child sitting on a chair gritted his teeth, his eyes sinister, and turned his head to say dissatisfiedly, "Dad, Mom, are we just going to let him go like this? We asked along the way and heard that Lin Dashan was honest and simple. Do you think he is honest? We have come such a long way and stayed here for so many days. The few copper coins we brought with us have long been spent! If we can't get the silver, we won't even be able to go back! How long will this matter drag on? Are we really going to beg for food here and fight with them at the same time!"

The young woman rolled her eyes and hesitated, "Dad, Mom, I don't think they are willing to give us such a large sum of money. If the Lin family doesn't give us a reply tomorrow, and they really have to go to the government, it won't be a good thing for our family--"

"Shut up!" Old man Li shouted, glancing at the door curtain and lowering his voice, "If you have anything to say, wait until you leave here! This is not our home, you can say whatever you want! Even in your own home, you still have to be careful of ears! You two idiots!"

The young couple was silenced by the scolding and dared not say anything. They stood up and followed their parents out of Sifang Pharmacy.

In the front hall of the pharmacy, the clerk was busy at the counter, sorting and sorting herbs for customers who came to buy them. The old doctor was also at the counter, fiddling with an abacus to keep accounts.

The old man from the Li family took a few special glances before walking out of the pharmacy. Seeing this scene, he felt a little relieved.

The doctor and the waiter were busy and probably didn't hear what they said later.

After they disappeared, the old doctor pushed the abacus in front of him, pulled the waiter over, and whispered quickly in his ear, "They have been staying in the abandoned houses in the back alleys for the past two days. Take a dozen copper coins and give them to the beggars who are active there. Ask them to help keep an eye on these people. It would be best if you could find out what they are saying in private!"

The clerk nodded immediately, put a handful of copper coins in his pocket and walked out of the pharmacy quickly.

Let’s not talk about the character of the Lin family, just look at the entire Wutong Town. The Lin family only sells Baixiangcao to their Sifang Pharmacy, so everyone is a family.

If something happens to his own people, he will of course help his relatives instead of helping others.

……

The family's nine acres of medicinal land, which housed 100-year-old herb, was sold for more than thirty taels of silver.

The Lin family's dinner today was much more sumptuous than usual. They added a large plate of braised pork, stewed a big fat chicken, fried two dishes of fresh vegetables picked from the garden, a pot of white rice, and a small bowl of cornmeal.

The weather was hot, and eating pancakes could easily cause getting a sore throat, so they replaced the pancakes with a basket of steamed buns bought from the canteen.

When it comes to food, Mrs. Lin is never stingy.

Sulan needs to eat more good food with her big belly. The three children are also growing up and cannot be neglected. The adults work hard during the day and are tired all day, so of course they also need to eat well.

In short, if you have money, just prepare the food for your family.

In addition to his own family, the old general and his wife are also present at the dinner table at home recently.

Old Madam Xiao would run to the Lin family every day. She would sit in the main room and stare at Li Sulan for most of the day without making any noise. As for the old general, of course, she would follow her husband's lead.

He follows his old wife wherever she goes.

While his wife was staring at someone in a daze, he was chatting and gossiping with the old man from the Lin family. The day passed in the blink of an eye, and it was very natural for him to sit at the dinner table.

There was a lot of laughter and conversation during the dinner, and Mrs. Lin took the opportunity to talk about the plan to build two rooms behind the main hall.

The small open space at the back also belongs to the Lin family. In the past, it was used to store branches and pine needles pulled down from the mountain... After they were piled there to dry, they would be chopped and tied and stacked in the woodshed.

Now that my family needs it, that piece of land can be used to build a house.

"...Dashan, Dashan? What's wrong with you? You're distracted while eating." Everyone else in the family nodded in agreement with Mrs. Lin's words, except Lin Dashan, who was distracted from time to time and didn't hear anything said during the meal.

After being called several times by my mother, he finally responded and laughed, "No, I was just thinking about something. What did you say?"

I got a lot of eye rolls in return.

After dinner, a group of people sat in the yard for a while, chatting and enjoying the cool air, listening to the chirping of insects and appreciating the stars, enjoying the breeze and a cup of tea. It was so pleasant.

Seeing the kids start to yawn, General Xiao stood up and pounded his old legs. "I'm old, and my legs get numb after sitting for too long. Dashan, I'll have to trouble you to carry me back."

"Okay!" Lin Dashan did not doubt him. He stood up and carried the old man on his back. He held the old man steady with one hand and had one hand free to support the silver-haired old woman. "Grandma, hold my arm and walk with me. The light is not good at night. Be careful not to fall."

For some reason, the old general didn't like the way he looked so relaxed, but since his wife was beside him, he didn't act like a troublemaker.

After leaving the Lin family yard, he jumped off Lin Dashan's back and stood firmly on his feet.

Lin Dashan, "..." What is the old general doing?

"Why are you looking at me?" The old general still had sharp eyes despite his age. He could distinguish Lin Dashan's eyes in the dim light and snorted. "You are not paying attention while eating. What difficulties have you encountered? Talk to me. One person's shortcomings are better than two people's. Maybe I can help you solve your doubts and give you some advice."

Madam Xiao nodded again and again, saying, "I can help you solve your doubts and give you some ideas."

"..." Lin Dashan laughed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I am undecided about something. If the old general is willing to listen, I will shamelessly ask for your advice."

Then, he told them about his encounter with the six members of the Li family during the day, and also expressed his doubts and confusions. "The last words of Sulan's father made me suspicious. He said that he had Sulan's secret. Sulan and I have known each other for nine years and have been married for seven years. She has never concealed anything from me. I even know everything about her from childhood to adulthood. There is no secret at all. But what Sulan's father said seems to imply that this secret is something Sulan herself doesn't know... What could it be?"

The old general raised his eyebrows, put his hands behind his back, and showed his iron-blooded aura. "If you don't understand, just go and check. I heard that they came from the next county? It won't take much time to go back and forth. So let's start from their lair and find out what they are holding on to!"

He will take care of this matter.

Borrow people and horses from the little prince!
