Chapter 59: From the People, For the People

ation here! Let us plot great matters!"Saying that, Liao Hongying knelt before Li Y Yao again, her face resolute.Li Yuyao stared blankly at Liao Hongying.Only then did she realize that if she gave up,...What would Liu Qiyun want when she comes to find herself

A wave of emotion washed over him as he thought back to the past. Yang Lin walked into the room.

Inside, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in a green skirt, looking docile and well-behaved, stood up nervously, her eyes full of anticipation, looking at Yang Lin.

"Qiyun, do you have something for me"

Now Yang Lin is no longer the thin-skinned, blushing scholar who would turn red half his face when speaking a single word. Facing Liu Qiao Yun, he naturally wouldn't feel any pressure at all.

The girl hurriedly nodded obediently, lowering her head and daring not to meet Yang Lin's gaze. She stammered, "Sorry... I didn't know my father was going to harm you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Liu Qiaoyun's head had already dropped deeply to her chest.

Yang Lin immediately understood the other person's thoughts and comforted him: "It's okay, my business with your father is over. Besides, your father has received the punishment he deserved. He even compensated me with a lot of silver and land. The past is in the past, and I won't blame you."

"No!"

Liu Qiao Yun quickly shook her head: "Actually, my father gave you the silver and land because he was worried that during his absence, our family's wealth would attract misfortune. So, he put it with you to divert disaster! When he returns, he will deal with you and take back all the silver and land!"

"Really! When my mother and brother told me these things today, I heard them all."

"My father also arranged for my older brother to be sent to Pingyuan County. I asked a powerful fourth master from our family to help! This fourth master has a lot of influence in Pingyuan County. As long as he is willing to help, my father will be able to get him back soon, and they definitely won't let you off at that time!"

"And there's more, my family actually has more than just the silver I gave you. Besides those over three thousand taels, my family still has over a thousand taels left!"

Liu Qiao Yun hastily explained.

Yang Lin was dumbfounded.

He was not surprised by Liu Youcai's plan, but by Liu Qiaoyun, who had actually become a traitor to the Liu family for him.

Is this the power of love

It's just a pity that Yang Lin no longer has the hazy infatuation he once had for her. At most, there's only pity now.

"Thank you for telling me these things."

Yang Lin nodded and sincerely expressed his gratitude.

Liu Qiao Yun hurriedly shook her head: "This is what I should do. It's my father who owes you an apology, but I... I don't want you to oppose my father either. What if... I wait for my father to come back, and you two cooperate together!"

Liu Qiao Yun nervously watched Yang Lin, afraid that Yang Lin would say no.

Yang Lin smiled bitterly: "Between me and your father, there is an irreconcilable contradiction. This is not a question of one mountain not tolerating two tigers, but the inevitable result of exploitation meeting anti-exploitation."

Seeing Liu Qiyun's confused and lost expression, Yang Lin took a deep breath: "Qiyun, forget me! I have a wife now, and things I want to do. I promised your father that I would take care of your family. As long as they stop bothering me, I will keep my word."

As for us…

Yang Lin shook his head.

Seeing tears swirling in the girl's eyes, Yang Lin steeled himself and made a gesture of invitation.

Liu Qiao Yun's tears could no longer be held back, she cried and ran out.

He knew that doing this would make Liu Qiaoyun very heartbroken, but when it comes to love, you have to be decisive and cut things off cleanly. He wasn't a scumbag, if he didn't like someone, he wouldn't string them along.

Now Yang Lin is very content with his life.

These wives I brought back haven't even gotten acquainted yet, so where would I have time to think about new relationships

The next afternoon, a pork feast!

More than 200 households, with at least five or six hundred people, gathered at the village entrance.

Beneath twenty iron cauldrons, the firewood crackled merrily. The aroma of meat had already permeated the entire mountain village. Every face was beaming with happiness. Children clutched their bowls and chopsticks, standing before the great cauldron, their mouths watering.

"Ding dong!"

Zhao Fugui knocked on the gong and shouted loudly, "Be quiet! The pork feast is about to begin. Before today's pork feast, Yang Lin has something to say to everyone!"

Upon hearing the name Yang Lin, the villagers immediately fell silent, eagerly looking at Yang Lin who stood atop the large rock.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Dear brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, welcome everyone to attend the banquet and show your support. Are you all wondering now that I, Yang Lin, have stepped out again, will there be any good news" The villagers looked at Yang Lin eagerly and blankly.

Good news

They would never have dared to imagine it.

Yesterday, five good things were announced. In just one day, where did so many good things come from

You all got it right!

"Today there's still something good to announce, everyone!"

Hearing Yang Lin's words, the scene immediately became noisy.

Everyone was astonished. Could something good happen so soon

"Quiet! Listen to Yang Lin!"

Zhao Fu Gui knocked on the bronze gong again.

“The thing is, before Liu Youcai was arrested, he felt very guilty about what he had done to me. So besides compensating me for all the land he had extorted from me, he also compensated me with three thousand taels of silver!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene erupted in an uproar once again.

Three thousand two!

This is simply astronomical for the villagers.

Everyone stared in astonishment at Yang Lin.

Everybody understands the saying "don't flaunt your wealth," Yang Lin wouldn't be unaware of that, but why would he, after receiving so much silver, not hide it at all, but instead openly declare it

What is he trying to do

"I'm sure you're all wondering why I'm bringing this up Showing off Of course not!"

Yang Lin shook his head. "As I said, I, Yang Lin, make money the right way, never engaging in illicit activities!"

"The silver Liu Youcai gave me was earned over many years by squeezing the common people. If I used it for pleasure, I, Yang Lin, wouldn't feel at ease! Besides, I am not really interested in money."

"But although this money is mine, I can't just give it away for nothing! Giving someone money for free will make me look like a fool."

Everyone laughed out loud.

"So I decided, all of this money, I spent it all!"

The villagers were surprised again.

Spend it

That's over three thousand ounces!

Can I afford it

As for how to spend it meaningfully, I came up with a way.

As the saying goes, "take from the people and use it for the people." We should make every effort to use this money for its intended purpose and improve everyone's lives!

Before Yang Lin could finish his words, Li Yuyao's heart beside him was pounding wildly.

From the people, for the people!

This makes so much sense!

Although the words are simple, the realm within them is awe-inspiring!

I can't believe such words would come from the mouth of a country scholar!

Li Yuyao stared blankly at Yang Lin, her mind racing...

“I am going to divide this three thousand taels of silver into three parts to spend.”

"The first part, I contribute five hundred taels of silver to establish a mutual aid fund to help everyone solve the difficulties in their lives!"

"This mutual aid fund, I'll leave it to our village head to manage." for the crossbow on the floor."There are people in the courtyard! Four of them!""Big sister spoke nervously, her voice trembling,"Yang Lin's heart skipped a beat.FourThe other party really thinks hig...
