However, the letter never actually reached Lin Shikang, because they had no idea that Lin Shikang had gone to the capital. Even Fan Shi and Lin Mingfu didn't know that they were not taking the same route back to their hometown...
News of what happened at the Lin family's place was quickly relayed to Yang Cui, who smiled but remained silent upon hearing it.
Although she didn't know the situation on Lin Shikang's side, Cen Xiao had told Yang Cui that Lin Shikang had previously sent people to contact Qingyang. In addition, Yuan Weimin was Qingyang King's man and he had married Yuan Yajing, so it was impossible for Lin Shikang to be unharmed. His dismissal was inevitable.
The Lin family actually dared to dream that Lin Shih-kang would build an academy for them! What a pipe dream!
There's also the matter of donkey testicles and cow testicles, which Yang Cui hasn't mentioned yet. Lin Shikang is definitely keeping it from her as well, otherwise the Lin family wouldn't be so quiet, and they wouldn't still have so many expectations of him.
When all of this is exposed in the future, I wonder what the Lin clan members will look like?
I'm really looking forward to it...

The establishment of a health station is such a big event that it cannot be as simple as setting off firecrackers and beating drums.
Zhou Daqing and Chief Yan slaughtered all the sheep that Yang Cui had given them earlier. The two clans also jointly bought several hundred catties of fish, and the women from both villages worked together to cook a big meal so that the villagers from both villages could have a good time.
With both lamb and fish, more than a dozen stoves were set up and lit simultaneously, the aroma wafting far and wide, making the children of the Lin family next door drool with envy.
Yang Cui was the main character at such an important occasion, so she had to attend, and she was even seated in the main seat.
Before the banquet began, Village Chief Zhou and Clan Chief Yan each gave speeches, which were nothing more than thanking Yang Cui and admonishing the clansmen to always remember Yang Cui's kindness.
"I didn't do anything special, I just set up a platform. In the end, it still depends on your own efforts," Yang Cui said.
"You're too modest, sir. Now when we go out and say we're from Zhou'an Village, who wouldn't be envious? Hehe..."
"That's right, without the village head, how could we have such a life?"
"Lord, could you please not admit girls to medical and pharmaceutical programs? Girls will eventually get married and leave the family, but sons are the family's own. I want my son to study medicine."
“I also want my son to learn it. Supporting the family is a man’s job. It’s not very useful for girls to learn it.”
...
Yang Cui never expected to encounter this situation while having a meal.
Her face turned a little pale. She knew how serious the preference for sons over daughters was in ancient times, but she was still unhappy. Didn't her daughter know her own child?
She looked around and then said, "Do you all think that girls are a financial burden? Once they learn how to earn a living, they have to get married and can't bring money home, so you feel like you're losing out big time?"
They didn't say anything, but their eyes and expressions told Yang Cui that this was what they thought.
She continued, "Every family focuses their resources on their sons, but have you ever thought that your daughters are also your children? If your daughter marries and meets a good mother-in-law and husband, great. But if she meets a bad one, she will have a skill to rely on. If she is bullied by her husband's family in the future, she will have confidence!"
"Girls grow up without a home."
These words brought tears to the eyes of many of the aunts and sisters-in-law present.
Once you're married, your husband's family treats you like an outsider. If you're bullied and go back to your parents' home for a few more days, your parents' family will also be unhappy, feeling that you're eating their food and taking up their bed. If you're beaten by your husband's family, you can only endure it because they have no other way out!
Just like the original owner of this body, why did she commit suicide? Because she had no way out!
