Liu Qi could not accompany his sister because he had to watch over the family business.

Liu Qi thought for a while and said, “Alright then! If that’s the case, then I’ll have to trouble brother Zhou to accompany my younger sister on this trip!”

“Brother Liu, we’re good brothers, and your sister is my sister. Don’t worry. If your sister loses even a single hair on this trip to the Lin family Village, you can take it out on me!” Zhou Wencai made a promise.

Liu Qi immediately clasped his hands together and said, “Brother Zhou, what are you saying? Of course, I’m at ease knowing that my sister is in your care.” Then, he turned to Liu Jiaying and said unhappily, “you should be satisfied now, right?”

Liu Jiaying broke into a smile.

…

Lin Yuelan didn’t know that guests were coming to her house.

She had just returned to the village when she ran into the village chief, who was hurrying over. He said, “Lan ‘Er!”

Lin Yuelan smiled and said, “Grandpa village chief, what’s the matter?”

Lin Yiwei said, “girl, didn’t you ask me to find you some high-grade fields for sale some time ago? It just so happens that a family in the neighboring village has five Mu of high-grade farmland. The land faces the sun and has plenty of water. The family urgently needs money now, so they are selling all the fields at the price of thirteen taels. Do you want to go and take a look?”

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “Sure, I’ll go and take a look!”

Lin Yiwei said, “Alright, I’ll take you there tomorrow.” If you like it, you can pay the money and get the title deed tomorrow.”

Lin Yuelan nodded and replied, “Okay!”

Lin Yiwei thought of something else and asked, “Oh, right. Girl, once you buy those fields, you would need to start farming them. The sowing season is coming, so you’ll need to prepare the seeds. Also, do you plan to hire workers to help you?”

There were already five men in Lin Yuelan’s home, so there was no need to hire a helper at all. However, Lin Yiwei knew that Jiang Zhennan was the defender-general of the state. It was already quite embarrassing to have the great general sleep in a tent in the courtyard. He didn’t think it was appropriate for the great general and his people to go to farm the land.

Based on Lin Yiwei’s perspective, someone as great as Jiang Zhennan should be treated with respect. But Lan ‘Er was ordering them around like slaves. This made Lin Yiwei very scared. He was afraid that Jiang Zhennan would suddenly explode and burn down the entire Lin Family Village.

Therefore, to appease the general and his people, Lin Yiwei didn’t want the men to work in the fields.

Lin Yiwei glanced at little twelve, who was standing next to them, and then asked nervously, “Lan ‘Er, you make them work every day. Won’t they… Won’t they be angry?”

Little twelve rolled his eyes when he heard that.

How could they dare to be angry?

Lin Yuelan saved their lives, and she provided them with good food and drinks. Apart from working for her, they really didn’t know how to repay her. He couldn’t repay her by offering her his body, right?

Then, Little Twelve started to think. He seemed to recall his boss having a special relationship with Lin Yuelan. Perhaps his boss should offer his body to Miss Lin to repay her. That was not a bad idea. Little Twelve scratched his chin.

Lin Yuelan didn’t know what little twelve was thinking. But she was thinking along the same line as Little Twelve, ‘these freeloaders wouldn’t dare to get angry at me.’

Of course, Lin Yuelan didn’t share that with Lin Yiwei. She didn’t want to scare him. Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, “Grandpa village chief, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”

Although Lin Yiwei was suspicious, since the two parties had something arranged, he didn’t want to comment further. He hoped that great general wouldn’t mind the lack of respectful treatment he had gotten at the Lin Family Village.

Lin Yiwei nodded and whispered, “Alright. Lan ‘Er, don’t make them angry!”

“Yes, Grandpa Village Chief!” Lin Yuelan replied.

Jiang Zhennan, Guo Bing, and the rest continued to work the wildlands. The sky was getting darker and darker.

“Boss, what do you think miss Lin will cook tonight?” Guo Bing asked Jiang Zhennan as he looked forward to tonight’s dinner.
