He might not be able to stand here in one piece at this moment, even though he had left a hundred taels of silver notes and later sent Chu Jiu to deliver a thank-you gift.

But these are external things, and are insignificant compared to the life-saving grace.

What's more, he knew that Lu Yanzhou was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination, so he secretly thought it was only right for him to help him.

"I'm afraid that when Mr. Lu sees you in the future, he will definitely be shocked."

Chu Jiu stood beside Xiao Er and followed Xiao Er's gaze, watching Lu Yanzhou gradually go away.

At this time, Lu Yanzhou, who was hurriedly rushing back to the inn, could not suppress his excitement. He just wanted to return to the inn as soon as possible and write a letter to the Lin family to inform them of the news that he had been admitted to high school.

Let them and my grandmother be happy too. Although the news of my high school admission will be announced soon by someone going to Qingxi Village, it will be much faster than writing a letter back myself.

But now he just wanted to tell the Lin family and Lin Yunchu in person. There was a difference between writing a letter from his own son and informing someone specifically.

The more Lu Yanzhou thought about this, the faster his steps became. His face no longer had the indifference of the past. Instead, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a faint smile and a hint of imperceptible affection.

Lin Yunchu and the other Lin family members in Qingxi Village who were busy working in the Lin family snack shop knew nothing about this and were all busy with their own things.

Only Lin's mother would occasionally sigh, "I don't know how Yanzhou is doing. He's been gone for such a long time, and there's no news at all. I'm really worried!"

The eldest sister-in-law Yao responded with a smile:

"You just love to worry. Yanzhou is the most knowledgeable person in our village. He will definitely have no problem taking the imperial examination. We should just wait for good news from him at home."

Lu Yanzhou was a scholar and a juren, and nothing had ever gone wrong on his journey until he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Yao had often visited the Lin family in the past, so she was familiar with Lu Yanzhou and was very confident in him.

After hearing what Yao said, Lin's mother couldn't help but look outside from a distance. Thinking about what happened on the day Lu Yanzhou left, she couldn't help but nodded.

As the two were talking, they heard a noise coming from outside the yard. They hurried forward to open the gate and saw a carriage parked in front of the Lin family's courtyard.

Seeing this, Lin's mother couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was the carriage that the county clerk took when he came here yesterday. Now the carriage came back again. It should be Lin's father and Lin Qingshan who came back.

Before Mother Lin could ask, she saw the curtain of the carriage being pulled open by a large hand, and the first person to lean out was Father Lin.

"Mother, sister-in-law, I'm back with my brother."

After saying that, he jumped off the carriage with a smile, and Lin Qingshan behind him also got off the carriage. Then the two turned around and thanked the coachman with a smile.

The driver didn't say much. He sent the two back to the Lin family and then jumped on the carriage and headed back to the town.

"Yesterday, Yunchu came back and asked about you two. I said you must have been busy late, so I kept you overnight. Sure enough, you came back today. Are you done with your work?"

When Lin's mother saw the two of them coming back, she was very happy and asked them questions with a smile.

"We've finished all the work, and there's nothing else to do. Once that's done, we'll ask for your resignation. We really can't get used to living out here."

Father Lin shook his head with a smile on his face. He had gained a lot of reputation now. Whenever his master encountered any difficulties with potatoes, he would send people to find him to take a look.

He was extremely nice to him, calling him Brother Lin all the time, which was quite respectful to him.

However, he remembered Lin Yunchu's words, and was always polite to both his legal advisor and the yamen runners who came to ask for his help, and he never took advantage of his ability to do such things to show off.

"Okay, let's go inside and talk."

Lin Qingshan, who was watching what was happening outside the Lin family courtyard, couldn't help but urge them to go inside first before discussing the matter. After all, this was a matter that even the county magistrate was concerned about, and they couldn't talk about it outside.

Hearing what his elder brother said, Father Lin couldn't help but fall silent and followed Lin Qingshan into the yard.

Lin's mother and Yao quickly heated up the lunch left over from noon and brought it out to the two of them.

They didn't know when the two men would come back today. This town was not close to Qingxi Village. If they rushed back all the way, they would definitely be hungry, so they left some extra food for lunch.

It was just right that the two of them could eat as soon as they came back. Lin Qingshan and Lin's father had also been rushing all the way and were already very hungry. They didn't bother to say anything else and just picked up their bowls and chopsticks to start eating.

"Finally, I'm full and it's comfortable at home."

After finishing his meal, Father Lin put down his bowl and chopsticks and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although every time he went out, the legal advisor and the people in the county government office were very polite to them.

They were treated to delicious food and drinks, but they were originally honest farmers and had never had any dealings with people from the county government before.

No matter how enthusiastic they were towards them, they were still a little scared in their hearts. They were always worried, and only when they returned home did they feel relieved.

"By the way, we're not at home these past two days. Is there anything going on at home?"

After Father Lin had eaten, he remembered that Mother Lin seemed to have mentioned that Yun Chu had asked about them yesterday.

Lin's mother shook her head. This family does the same work every day, so what could go wrong?

Besides, there is still a village head in the village. You know, the Lin family workshop has hired two more helpers, and the village head must be very happy.

Even if that blind person came to the Lin family to cause trouble, the village head would probably come out and scold him before they could even say a word.

As long as the Lin family workshop grows bigger and bigger, more people in the village will be able to work there in the future, and the entire Qingxi Village will become better and better.

This is something that many surrounding villages envy but cannot achieve. You have to know that when the Lin family workshop is looking for helpers, they first consider people from their own village, and people from the surrounding villages cannot come even if they want to.

The wages offered by the Lin family workshop are not low, much higher than the wages you can get by finding a job yourself, and there are also gifts during festivals.

If anyone is so blind as to come here and cause trouble, the village head will definitely be the first one to disagree.

"We are all here, what can go wrong?"

Mother Lin shook her head nonchalantly, then thought of something else and quickly said:

"Xie An's wedding is coming up in a few days. Yunchu said that we'll let Changping and Cuizhi look after the shop for a day. I've prepared all the gifts, and we'll go over there early in the morning to help."

Xie An had been engaged for quite some time, and the wedding day had finally arrived. On that day, his family had to go there early to help and join in the fun.

Xie An's marriage is a big event for the Xie family. Lin's father nodded and echoed Lin's mother's words.
