He could have risen to great heights, with beautiful women by his side, but now all of that has vanished. Who is responsible for all of this?
It's Yang Cui!
Lin Shikang stared sharply in the direction of Anjia Village, having already made up his mind...
...
The position of Lin clan leader ultimately fell to Lin Gouya. Lin Shikang repeatedly instructed him to restrain his clansmen and keep a low profile.
Lin Gouya may not be a qualified leader, but he is definitely obedient and will agree to whatever Lin Shikang says.
This obedient attitude reassured Lin Shikang somewhat.
Lin Shih-kang decided to set off in three days. His clansmen were thinking of holding a banquet to celebrate, but now he had no intention of doing so at all.
After receiving Wang Mengyun's letter, he didn't want to take Fan Shi and Lin Daya with him when he went to Gansu and Ningxia to take up his post, fearing that it was not safe there. However, given Fan Shi's personality, Lin Shikang was worried that no one could control her if she stayed at home. He was concerned that she would provoke Yang Cui again, which would disrupt his plans.
For safety reasons, Lin Shikang quickly hired four bodyguards in the county town at a high price before setting off, who would accompany him to Gansu and Ningxia.
Upon learning that Lin Shikang was about to leave, Fang Xiaodan and her mother-in-law went to Lin Shikang and asked him to take their two sons to Ganning County!
“My son was jilted because of you. So much time has passed, there should be an explanation. I don’t want any money. Just take my two children with you, and I’ll run errands for you. Having a job will make it easier to find him a wife in the future.”
“I also hope to have my own people by my side, but the situation over there is still unknown, and there are certain dangers in working for the government. Are you willing to give them up?”
"We're willing to give them up! What danger could there be if we followed you? A man's ambition lies in all corners of the world, so let them go with you. We trust you, hehe!"
Fang Xiaodan was overjoyed. In her eyes, her son and Lin Shikang were both members of the Lin family, so they were family and confidants. Why would Lin Shikang assign them dangerous tasks? They certainly wouldn't be given the dirty or hard work!
Fang Xiaodan had a wonderful idea and quickly packed Donkey Egg and Cow Egg's luggage.
"Maybe we shouldn't go," Fang Xiaodan's husband said, somewhat reluctant to part with their child.
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaodan immediately scolded, "What do you know! What future is there in keeping the children at home? Go away for two or three years, each of them can earn thirty or fifty taels of silver and come back. Then build a house, buy a few acres of land, wouldn't that be a good life? Would it be hard to get a wife then?"
Donkey Egg: "Mother, don't worry, I'll come back as soon as I've earned enough money to buy you and Grandma new clothes, a big gold bracelet, and the best wine for my father."
Niu Dan: "I'll use my money to build a big house for our family, even more impressive than Er Ya's new house!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaodan was moved to tears: "You are truly my good sons, I can't bear to part with you..."
