When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

The thank you gifts from the magistrate and the others were genuine, and they did not treat the Shen family like ordinary people who were rubbed at will.

Sometimes the reality is so ironic, if Fang Tianlin is still a farmer digging in the soil, not even a landlord, then they can send him away for a few dozen taels of silver, not to mention condescending to go there in person It's expensive, and it's not a bad conscience to send a steward to pay for the treatment, and then give some silver taels to arrange the follow-up matters properly.

The same thing is done by people of different status, and the value is different.Don't think that such things only happened in ancient times. Even in modern times, it is probably similar to this, but the degree is not so serious.

The grace of saving lives is actually not as important as people think, at least it is the case in many cases. If the benefactor really asks the saved person for something, it may be said to be a return of favor.

Neither Fang Tianlin nor Shen Jiahe expected them to do this to make the rescued family members feel grateful.Of course, it's not that they didn't gain anything. Putting aside the gifts in front of them, they got involved with every family anyway.With the name of a lifesaver, the Shen family was equivalent to an extra layer of protection. From then on, no one dared to find fault at will.As long as it is not a matter of life and death for each family, if the Shen family begs to come to the door, if they don't want to bear the reputation of being ungrateful, no matter how reluctant they are, they will have to do something.

When he first saved people, Fang Tianlin didn't have such a utilitarian idea, but when he got rewarded afterwards, he also accepted it very naturally.He still can't be as selfless as Lei Feng, who wholeheartedly serve the people. One must know that in order to save these children, Shen Jiahe suffered serious injuries. If the other party didn't express anything, he would definitely feel unhappy.

"Tianlin, most of these things can only be seen, not worn or eaten. It would be nice if they could be exchanged for silver." Shen Jiahe said regretfully.

"..." Fang Tianlin didn't know what to say, if he was asked to choose, he would also choose silver.This can only show that the two of them are not "cultivated" enough. The third generation reads food, the fourth generation reads through, and the fifth generation reads articles. These words are indeed not for nothing.More importantly, he needs money, a large amount of money, and those expensive decorations are naturally difficult to catch his eyes.And these things can't be sold, they can only be given away or used by oneself, which is a bit tasteless.

The appreciation level of the triplets is obviously much higher than that of the two, especially the two children, Shen Bi and Shen Huang, when they see these good things that are rare at home, like an old man who has studied the art, from time to time He stopped and looked carefully, although he couldn't tell why, but it still looked like that, at least he was much more professional than the two parents.

Shen Zhang's hobbies are very obvious. He is only interested in those golden and shiny things. If you give him gold and crystals, they will attract his attention more than anything else.Of course, he only does this in front of his own family. When strangers are around, he will try to restrain his preferences.

Whenever he thinks of this matter, Shen Jiahe feels very lucky.Fortunately, when he and Tianlin's second son first showed this preference, they never tire of whispering in his ear, which made Shen Zhang develop this habit, otherwise, I really don't know what will happen.

Precious decorations and the like were hard to sell, so Fang Tianlin made the best use of them and placed them directly in the halls and rooms. As for food, cloth and medicinal materials, he picked out what he needed and gave away the rest.

The Shen family doesn't have many relatives in Yunzhou City, so there are quite a few of them, and a little gift from each family is enough.After all, there were only a dozen or so gift givers, and the number was not large enough for them to disperse at will.Moreover, the value of these items is relatively high, and it is not the resistance goods that people with a little money like homespun are unwilling to wear.

"Tianlin, the cargo ship will be able to pick up the goods soon, but the manpower is not yet recruited, what are you going to do?" Shen Jiahe has been recuperating at home for a while, and Fang Tianlin is taking care of everything alone, so the progress has been slowed down a bit.

"Don't worry, I've been waiting for a few months, so it doesn't matter if I wait a while longer." Fang Tianlin said casually.Compared with Shen Jiahe's body, everything else has to stand aside, "You can rest for a few more days, and discuss this matter after the injury is completely healed."

Shen Jiahe knew that his daughter-in-law was doing it for his own benefit, so he didn't say any more about it. After pondering for a while, he said with some embarrassment: "Tianlin, I'm a little worried about my parents and elder brothers, how about we take them over for a while?"

"Okay, but this is not a solution. Parents and the others can take over. There are still three uncles and elder sisters in Anyang Village, as well as clansmen and other villagers. How should we manage these?" Fang Tianlin did not object, but this only solved the symptoms and not the root cause.The Shen family can't intervene in this matter, and they can only hope that the prefect and the people above can completely pull down the black hands behind the scenes. Even if they can't, at least they will have no spare time to take care of Yunzhou City.

After a slight pause, Fang Tianlin continued: "But you don't have to worry too much. 'Thousand Day Drunk' is a banned drug. This thing is so terrible that even the top person is afraid. He will definitely order a strict investigation. I'm afraid I'm too busy to get away in time, so how can I care about it? Without 'Thousand Day Drunk', it's not so easy to get it in the village."

"Then this is what we have?" Shen Jiahe's heartbeat intensified, "Thousand Days Drunk" is like this, wouldn't it be more...

"Don't worry, the only ones left were put away by me on the same day. I have already used them. After so many days, there is no way to find them. You see, no officers and soldiers have come to search the matter for so long. The Shen family has already picked it up. Someone will mention this again.” As soon as Fang Tianlin returned home on the day of the incident, he put all the invisible items in the house into the basement or into the water space, so that even if someone broke into his house directly, he couldn’t find it. If they find any clues, they don't need to scare themselves.

"That's good." Shen Jiahe's face that was a little pale just now turned rosy again, "In this case, then only parents are invited, whether the elder brother's family comes or not is up to them."

"Then it's settled. I'll go to Anyang Village to pick up my parents when I see Zongbing Ling." Fang Tianlin made a final decision.

Because the Ling family and the Shen family were not related on the surface, the place where Ling Zongbing and Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe agreed to meet was not a teahouse or restaurant, but a relatively secluded courtyard.This other courtyard is not under the name of the Ling family, even if someone checks it, it will be difficult to find out the name of the Ling family.

The two parties were not familiar with each other, so after a short exchange of pleasantries, Ling Jingcheng got to the point without procrastinating at all, and directly explained his purpose of coming clearly.

Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe were shocked when they first heard Zongbing Ling's words, but they came back to their senses later.The Shen family has helped the Ling family so much, it seems reasonable for the Ling family to contribute a little bit.The two looked at each other, and they both understood their thoughts from each other's eyes, and agreed immediately.

Ling Jing acted swiftly and resolutely, and after seeing the agreement of the two Shen family members, he immediately handed over the prepared personnel to them: "Take this talisman, and after receiving someone outside the city, this talisman will become invalid, just destroy it. I still have something to do, so I won’t accompany you, so I’ll leave.”

The two of them only had time to express their thanks before General Ling disappeared from their sight.

"The difference between civil servants and military officials is really obvious." After leaving the other courtyard, Fang Tianlin sighed softly.

"I like to get along with such people. Talking to those officials in the government office is too much brain work. I go around for a long time, but I may not be able to get the point. This fighter is too powerful. In the past, They talk so long, maybe I can't even understand the meaning of what they said." Speaking of this, Shen Jiahe felt his brain hurt.

Fang Tianlin was also deeply touched by this point.Although officials usually speak vernacular and don't talk to them in written language, what they say is much more profound than that of ordinary people, and sometimes they may not be able to hear the subtext.As my daughter-in-law said, with a dull head, even if the other party scolded him, he might still respond with a smile, and he didn't know what to say behind his back.

After sending Shen Jiahe home, Fang Tianlin immediately left the city.

Chief Ling arranged a total of eight veterans, not too many, but enough to protect the Shen family.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Fang Tianlin showed the order talisman, and after the two sides checked their identities, the eight veterans followed Fang Tianlin.

The law and order in Yunzhou City is good, and it is not easy to fight there. The Shen family is quite safe, so Fang Tianlin planned to arrange most of the eight veterans to Anyang Village.

"Third daughter-in-law, why did you come here alone? Who are they?" Mr. Shen originally wanted to ask other questions, but he stopped talking when he saw eight strong men standing behind Fang Tianlin.

"Father, let's talk after we go in." Fang Tianlin stepped out of the carriage and led the people into the house through the main entrance.

Now the two elders of the Shen family live in a new house, a new house in the true sense, not a renovated mansion like Shen's house, everything looks very comfortable.The two elders no longer lived alone, and after the completion of the new house, the necessary servants were gradually added.

As soon as Fang Tianlin and the others entered the front hall, a servant brought tea and snacks.

Mr. Shen glanced at the eight strong men, and finally put his eyes on Fang Tianlin.

"Father, these are the guards that Jiahe and I borrowed from other places. During this period of time, they are responsible for protecting parents and the elder brother's family. What do you think of their bodies?" Fang Tianlin didn't go into details about what happened, and many places are from one place to another. Pass.

Mr. Shen didn't ask too much. If the third daughter-in-law wanted to talk about this kind of thing, she wouldn't hide it from him. Since he didn't say it, there must be a reason why he couldn't say it. He just had to follow the third wife's wishes to make a decision. .

These people look good, and their treatment will not be too bad.Mr. Shen began to think about how much monthly money he should give them. Even though it was just a borrowed nursing home, the Shen family should pay the money during the period of their stay in the Shen family.But this matter is not urgent now, he will discuss it with the third daughter-in-law in private later.

There were outsiders around, and Mr. Shen didn't want to talk too much. After talking to these people briefly, he agreed.

After arranging the person to the guest courtyard, Mr. Shen called his wife, and the three of them went into the study to discuss matters.

"Third daughter-in-law, why didn't Jiahe come? Has his injury healed yet?" the old lady asked with a worried expression.

"It's almost healed. After a few more days, he will be alive and kicking. The carriage was a bit bumpy, so I didn't let him come."

"Well, you did the right thing, that's how it should be." The old lady smiled immediately.At that time, she learned that the third son had a big wound, but she was taken aback. Even though she found out afterwards that the third son's injury was not serious, she still didn't sleep well for two days until there was no news. Only then did I feel at ease.

Hearing that his third son was about to recover soon, Mr. Shen was also very happy.Now that the family has money and their children and grandchildren are well-off, he doesn't expect anything else, he just hopes that the whole family will be safe and sound: "Third daughter-in-law, how do you plan to arrange for those people? What about monthly payments?"

"According to the original payment, just distribute more food and clothing on weekdays." Fang Tianlin didn't intend to break the rules and offer them a high price. After that, who would be willing to go back?Mr. Ling didn't say that these people will be given to them in the future. These eight veterans are good citizens, not servants who can be bought and sold at will.

"Leave six in Anyang Village, father and elder brother each have two, and the other two patrol around the village, often walking around the family of the third uncle and elder sister. The last two will come back to Yunzhou City with me, and I will rent a The small courtyard is for them. If the second brother and the fourth brother go out of the city, they can take them with them. Father, do you think this arrangement is good?" Fang Tianlin was not polite at all, and directly expressed his thoughts.

Old Master Shen's eyes narrowed slightly, he stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and agreed to the plan. If there was anything inappropriate, he could fine-tune it.

"Father, mother, I have something to do this time. Jiahe is a little worried about you and wants to invite you to stay at home for a while. It happens that the cargo ship will be launched soon. When the manpower is ready, Jiahe and I may I can go out to sea, and there is no one watching over the vegetable garden. I can’t rest assured of those at home, and I want to ask you to go and take care of it.” Fang Tianlin is not thin-skinned at all, and he still feels a little embarrassed when talking about this matter.

The two elders didn't care about this at all. They obviously didn't focus on it. When they heard that they were going to go to sea, they all asked anxiously: "Where are you going? Will it take a long time?"

"Well, the destination hasn't been determined yet. I have a general direction. Just walk around the southeast coast. It shouldn't be a big problem to pay attention to offshore sailing. How long will it take? It will take at least one or two months. If it takes longer, It may take half a year to go back and forth." Fang Tianlin already has a goal, but he hasn't visited it on the spot, and he can't be sure whether it meets his requirements, so he can only vaguely describe it.

"Can't you leave it to the people below?" The old lady frowned.Although she doesn't care about outside affairs, she has much more knowledge than before. She knows that as long as the boss is at the helm, it doesn't have to be everything.In that case, it’s okay to be a small landlord, but how can you manage the stall when it’s too big?

Fang Tianlin shook his head.

The old lady still wanted to persuade her, but before she could speak, she was stopped by Mr. Shen: "Have you decided?"

"Ah."

"Then go ahead and do it. I've heard people say that sailing at sea is relatively risky. You should try to drive as close to the shore as possible, so that even if there is an accident, you can be rescued easily." Mr. Shen said this, but the worry in his eyes could not deceive anyone. .

But what can he do?The children are all grown up, especially the third daughter-in-law, who made such a big commotion just a few days ago. It is no problem at all to be a low-level general with this skill. How could he stay at home safely?

They can stop it for a while, but they can't stop it forever.Maybe what they did would disrupt the pace of the third daughter-in-law. Maybe there would be more problems in the future, so he might as well just follow his wishes. At least he wasn't unprepared and acted impulsively when he got hot.The cargo ship has been scheduled for several months, and I also know that the third daughter-in-law has already planned this matter, and he should have a sense of proportion in his heart and will not mess around.

These days, the villagers in Anyang Village are more vigilant. If there is no acquaintance to lead the way, it is difficult for strangers to approach, and the village is peaceful.Seeing the unexpected danger, Shen Jiahai's family had already moved back a few days ago.

After discussing with the two elders, Fang Tianlin went to Shen Jiahai's house and asked them if they would like to live in his house for a while.The answer is naturally no, living in a relative's house is not as comfortable as living in one's own.

Fang Tianlin didn't say much, chatted for a while, and then returned to the two elders' homes.He said that the matter of the nursing home was not appropriate, and after a while the manpower was allocated, Mr. Shen would come forward to solve it.

As soon as Fang Tianlin stepped into the main room, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.Mr. Shen and the eight veterans sat on both sides. No one spoke.Everyone stared at the cup in their hands and kept pouring water, as if they had a grudge against it.

"What's wrong?" Fang Tianlin was surprised.

"It's nothing, it's just that they only obey your orders, without your instructions, I can't move them." Old Man Shen said with a smile.Fortunately, he had just enjoyed the life of a rich old man, so he didn't care much about these things. If he were someone else, his face would turn dark when he encountered such a shameful thing.

"..." Fang Tianlin didn't expect Zongbing Ling to give such an order. Did these soldiers obey orders too much?But this is also good, people who abide by the rules are better than lawless people, and this kind of people are safe to use, even if it is only temporary.

Since he was following his command, Fang Tianlin would not be polite, and immediately told everyone what he meant.Although he had learned about the abilities of these people on the way, he had only heard about them and had no actual verification. Fang Tianlin finally decided to let them choose their own positions.

"Father, it's late, you take these two to the eldest brother's house, and then talk to the village branch, so that the villagers don't treat them as thieves." Looking up at the sky, Fang Tianlin suggested.

Mr. Shen nodded, and led the people out to do business.

The old lady is busy packing her bags at this time. This time she will be staying in the city for a long time. There are a lot of items that need to be prepared. The valuables must be put away, the family affairs must be explained clearly, and the servants to follow must be selected. I'm in trouble.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Fang Tianlin wanted to step forward to help, but after seeing the servants who were busy all the time, he stopped thinking about it.Now that he is also the master, it doesn't seem very good to compete with the servants for work.Seeing that there was no point in sitting, he simply turned to the back garden.

The garden of the two elders' home is also worthy of the name, only a small area is reserved as a vegetable field, so that the two elders can use it to pass the time when they are free.Although it can't be compared with the real wealthy family, it looks much more glamorous than the large vegetable garden in Fang Tianlin's house.

Fang Tianlin turned around, seeing that if he didn't leave, he would be locked up outside the city, so Mr. Shen sent someone to call him.

"The third daughter-in-law, the boss and the others will stay to look after the house, and Maid Mei will go into the city with us." Old Master Shen looked up at Fang Tianlin, seeing that he was not dissatisfied, a faint smile appeared on his face.Last time, I frightened my eldest granddaughter, but now she dare not even go out, this is not acceptable.In two or three years at most, she will be going out. If she is so timid, she will be bullied by her in-laws and have no place to stand. It would be better to change to a lively environment to refresh her mind.

"Father, are you ready?" The two elders took over, and Fang Tianlin didn't mind having another eldest niece.

"Okay, let's go."

The two carriages left Shen's house one after another, followed by four guards who were veterans.

A few days later, the large cargo ship ordered by the Shen family was delivered as scheduled. As long as there are no problems after launching and trial voyage, the deal will be considered complete.

That day, the dock was very lively, and all relatives and friends of the Shen family came.Before the high tide, the dam opened the gates first, and the seawater flooded into the dock, covering the bottom. After the high tide, the tide slowly raised the hull until the peak of the tide was approaching, and the cargo ship finally sailed out of the dock.

Since there was no trial voyage, no one knew if there was anything wrong with the ship. There were only boatmen on board, and Fang Tianlin and the others could only watch from the side of the dock.

The waiting time was extremely long, and when the initial excitement passed, many people must have been a little sluggish.It's a scorching summer now, and after watching for two or three hours in a row, everyone's faces are tired.

Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe had already made preparations.People brought tea when they were thirsty, and snacks when they were hungry. Apart from being uncomfortable in the sun, everyone was also happy to watch.

"Father, Father, the boat is back." Shen Bi's eyes were sharp, and his mind was spinning quickly. When the little black shadow came into view, he immediately reacted.He also took advantage of the favorable location, with a wide view on the shore, and there was not much difference in height except that he could see farther.If it was changed to the noisy street, with his height, he might only be able to see other people's thighs.

"Yeah, Father saw it." Fang Tianlin straightened the brim of his hat, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Then we can take the big boat?" Shen Zhang looked eager to try, not affected by the hot weather at all.

"You can sit without any problem." Fang Tianlin took out a cotton kerchief and wiped the sweat off his face, and said to Shen Jiahe, "Father and mother are getting old, why don't you take them to sit under the arbor?"

"I asked before, they were unwilling, they all wanted to get on the boat and have a look at the first time." Shen Jiahe's eyes were filled with helplessness, but also a hint of joy.

"Okay, as long as you're healthy, let them do it." Fang Tianlin turned his attention to the cargo ship that was getting closer and closer to the shore.

After waiting for a while, the ship turned into Yunzhou Port, which meant that the trial voyage of the cargo ship was successful.

After seeing the boat turn, everyone moved to the dock.

"How is it?" Some of the people on the trial voyage were boatmen hired by Fang Tianlin. Once he arrived at the place, he asked the ship's officer.
