Enraged, he summoned his guards and ordered, "Take her and her family back to the county government office and have the head steward send them away. We can't afford to hire people like that."

Two guards were about to come up and pull the woman away when a man emerged from the crowd, rushed forward, and began punching and kicking her without saying a word.

"I told you not to be greedy! I told you not to be lazy! Why don't you think about Donkey Egg? He's still studying at school!"

Enraged, the man collapsed to the ground, no longer bothering to hit the woman, and began to pound the ground and wail loudly.

"She's trying to kill me!"

The woman then became frightened and knelt down in front of Lin Shuo, kowtowing frantically. "Captain Lin, I was wrong! I will never dare to do it again! Please, have mercy and don't drive our family away."

Lin Shuo glanced at her and said to Lin Yisong and Wu Xun, who were standing in the crowd, "Yisong, Wu, record their family's behavior and let the head steward deal with it later."

"Everyone, disperse! Let's get back to work." Old Lin waved to the crowd as it got late.

The woman stood up, ignoring the man who was still slumped on the ground, picked up her basket and went to dig for wild vegetables. She wanted to make up for her mistake with her actions.

Their family cannot be kicked out. Donkey Egg can study and learn to read here. If they work here for ten years, they can own a house and receive a monthly bonus.

The news was quickly relayed to Lin Yinan and his sister, who were working at the county government office, through the secret guards.

"Anan, it's even harder to manage when there are more people."

Lin Yiheng rubbed his sore temples, realizing that everything he was doing now was beyond what he had learned before.
