Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

A group of old women followed Lin Shuangshuang up the mountain carrying clothes. Lin Shuangshuang picked out twenty tall and strong young men and asked them to change into these temporarily modified official uniforms.

"Leave ten people on the mountain to watch these people work."

"The remaining dozen or so will follow me down the mountain and patrol the entrance of the village."

When everyone heard Lin Shuangshuang's words, they instantly knew what she was going to do.

A lime mine was discovered on the mountain in Hegou Village, and the emperor sent officials to mine the ore, so there have always been people mining on the mountain.

It’s just that those officials didn’t want to live in the village, but lived in the town instead, so Hegou Village was not affected much.

When winter comes, the weather is cold and all work will stop, including mining. Mining will resume after spring.

But the bandits were not from Hegou Village, so they were not aware of this.

As long as the bandits who came to scout the area saw officials patrolling the village, they would not dare to enter the village rashly.

When everyone understood, they were no longer so afraid and did as Lin Shuangshuang said. Those who should play the role of police officers played the role of police officers, and those who should play the role of miners played the role of miners.

In order to make it more realistic, some villagers even brought whips from their homes.

"Brother Niu, take it. Those officers have whips in their hands. They will whip anyone who doesn't obey. That's the way it should be."

Daniu held the whip and smiled: "Hey! It really looks like that."

"Don't laugh, it won't look like it if you laugh."

Daniu got into the role in a second, whipping the ground with a whip and making a loud clacking sound: "You haven't eaten yet, go work for me!!!"

"Whoever dares to be lazy, the whip in my hand has no eyes!!"

Everyone was stunned and wanted to laugh but held it back. This was not the time to joke, registration was the most important thing.

Everyone worked diligently, and no one complained even when their hands and feet were red from the cold.

At the foot of the mountain, four or five officers were drinking, eating meat and playing dice in a thatched hut at the entrance of the village, while another four or five officers were patrolling the village.

The village was quiet and almost empty.

When four or five bandits approached quietly, they saw officials patrolling the village, and shouting and cursing could be heard from the mountain from time to time.

The bandits didn't dare to approach rashly and could only hide nearby and observe the situation.

After a while, a group of ragged laborers came down from the mountain and were carrying stones down the mountain. They then loaded them onto carts and transported them out of the village one by one. During the transportation of the stones, there were officials to suppress them.

"What's going on? Why are there soldiers patrolling this village?"

"What are those stones?"

"I heard that some kind of mine was discovered in the nearby mountains. These people are coolies digging for stones."

"Damn it, this imperial court is nothing. They let these coolies dig in the middle of winter. They really don't take human life seriously."

"Let's go to another village. There are officials here, and we can't take advantage of them."

The scarred man who led the group looked reluctant: "Other villages are already full of people, where should we go?"

"We can't go into Hegou Village. We don't know how many officials are there in the village. If we rush in, we will die."

"Let's go, find a random village. Even if there are five of us, we can't make them poor."

The scarred man spat viciously: "Bah, what a damn bad luck."

A few people quietly went into the woods and moved away from Hegou Village, but they were caught by another team halfway.

Li Bingwen personally led people to capture the five bandits, and then assigned three real officials to follow the fake officials into Hegou Village.

The villagers learned that five bandits had been captured and three real officials were left behind to protect them.

But the villagers still dare not let their guard down, as who knows if there will be another wave of bandits.

They thought Lin Shuangshuang's idea was good, so they would wear officials' clothes and wander around the village, and then send people to guard the village entrance just in case.

Everyone else did what they were supposed to do, but the officials didn't do their work to avoid being exposed.

It's just that everyone takes turns wearing it so that everyone can have a day off.

Even so, the villagers were still in a panic, fearing that bandits would break in again, and the elderly and children tried their best to stay at home.

Yang and Wang went to Lin Shuangshuang's house together and strongly suggested that she move to the second room.

"Shuang'er, you have a house full of women and children. If bandits really break in, there won't even be a man left at home."

At this point, Yang thought of her bastard son. He was a great general and the one who was most capable of protecting people, but he made his wife and children the weakest ones with no one to protect them.

"You guys should move in with mom. If something happens, we'll have someone to take care of our whole family."

"Yes, sister-in-law, it's really worrying for you, a woman, to take care of two half-grown children and two newborn babies."

"Oh, and Dong'er is still young. If something happens, it will be hard for her to protect herself, let alone you."

"Don't worry, there are enough rooms at home, and you can each live in one."

Lin Shuangshuang asked, "Where are my third sister and eldest brother?"

Because in her opinion, Gu Xinghua and Gu Jinzhong are the most worrying ones.

Yang said, "Everyone should move to the second room temporarily and move back in the spring."

"Your third sister is raising three girls, and your eldest brother is disabled. I am worried about him."

Wang didn't object either. Although it would be a bit crowded for so many people to live in her house, there were reasons for it and she would not be confused at this critical juncture.

"Okay, I'll pack up and move over in a moment."

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the worried expressions of Yang and Wang, and knew that they really cared about her, so she agreed.

Although she is not afraid, she is now a mother and needs to consider everything more.

In this way, a month passed peacefully, and Hegou Village welcomed another New Year in anxious anticipation.

Everyone has some extra money this year, so we should have a lively and prosperous new year.

But because they were afraid of attracting bandits into the village, every household lived a low-key life, but they still ate a lot of meat.

Overall, it is much better than previous years!

On New Year's Day, Yang was busy running around. Seeing the whole family reunited, she felt indescribably happy. The home had not been so lively for a long time.

The only thing that made her feel regretful was that her beloved youngest son could no longer have the reunion dinner with them.

Yang was sad for only a moment, then quickly put on a smile, fearing that she would ruin the welcoming atmosphere.

"Mom, I bought you a gold hairpin. Try it on." Gu Xinghua suddenly took out a gold hairpin and handed it to Yang.

It is a very simple style, without complicated tassels, and only carved with some simple auspicious patterns, which is very suitable for her age.

Yang was stunned and hurriedly pushed the hairpin back: "No, take it back, there is too much money to burn, why did you buy this thing?"

"You have three children to feed and you don't need to eat or drink much. Don't spend all your money. You need to learn to save money. When you are broke in the future, even a penny can make you anxious."
