h we don't know what Yang Lin means by "steel" and "glass," it's clear that he's playing a big game!"Why are you doing this"Li Yuyao asked in confusion.She could imagine that if Yang Lin said all this...What

"Liu Youcai wants to see me"

After Zhao Kanggang left, Liu Youcai's wife came over.

Yang Lin was also surprised to learn that Liu Youcai wanted to see him.

Zhao Fugui hurriedly said, "This old dog Liu Youcai, who knows what bad intentions he has. Yang Lin, listen to me, let's just ignore him!"

"Not necessarily! A dying man's words are often the wisest. He is now at his wit's end, and wanting to see me might not be a bad thing after all. I want to see what grand gift he has in store for me."

As soon as the convoy escorting Liu Youcai left the village, Yang Lin came out of Zhao Fu貴's house and happened to catch up.

"Yang Lin, come here!"

Liu Youcai shouted from afar.

This is Yang Lin's first time truly seeing the only landowner in this mountain village.

In his forties, he was a bit overweight with the look of wealth and prosperity. However, at this moment, with handcuffs on his hands, he looked quite disheveled.

Yang Lin felt a mix of emotions in his heart. After so much animosity between the two sides, this was their first meeting today!

Liu Youcai has already asked his wife to take care of the yamen officers, allowing him to be alone with Yang Lin.

"What's up"

With no one around, Yang Lin got straight to the point.

Yang Lin was very curious. At this time, if he had anything to say, he should say it to his wife and children. Why would he want to see him

"I said, I'm going to give you a big gift!"

Liu Youcai didn't beat around the bush. He said directly, "I, Liu Youcai, have been operating in Kaoshan Village for many years, accumulating a considerable fortune. Now, thanks to you, I'm afraid this will be my last departure and I may never return!"

"Having said that, he glanced at Yang Lin and coldly said, 'You tell me, what will happen to my Liu family after I leave'

"

Yang Lin was slightly taken aback, then immediately understood. "You're worried your son won't be able to protect your family business But why did you come to me"

As the saying goes, starting a business is hard, but keeping it going is even harder!

Liu Youcai has one son and one daughter. His daughter is only fourteen years old and still young.

The son is Liu Liang. Everyone in the village knows what kind of person he is.

Formerly, with Liu Youcai supporting the Liu family, Liu Liang could still flaunt his power in the village.

Now, he's about to be gone, and Yang Lin has risen to power in the village. As for the Liu family's future, it goes without saying what will happen.

Before, he went all out against Yang Lin because their Liu family had already reached the end of the road!

Leaving such a mess behind and handing it over to his incompetent son, the outcome is predictable.

However, Yang Lin still didn't understand why he was looking for him.

"I'm going to give you all the savings I've accumulated!"

Liu Youcai's words took Yang Lin completely by surprise.

"Alas!"

Liu Youcai sighed deeply: “Over so many years, I've scraped together over three thousand taels of silver and nearly two thousand acres of land using all sorts of means!”

Here you go! “These are all yours!”

Yang Lin swallowed nervously. It was impossible to say he wasn't moved.

But he also understood that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

"What do you want"

He wouldn't naively believe that Liu Youcai would willingly leave his fortune to him for no reason.

Liu Youcai's face was grave: "There are only two conditions."

"First, marry my daughter, Liu Qiao Yun!"

"Second, protect my wife, children, and the elderly, so that we can live peacefully for the rest of our lives!"

After finishing his words, Liu Youcai stared intently at Yang Lin with blazing eyes.

Yang Lin understood now, he was entrusting himself to her.

"It's just... Yang Lin wryly smiled and said, "Why are you looking for me Aren't you filled with hatred for me" "Alas!"

Liu Youcai sighed heavily again.

"Hate is hate, obedience is obedience."

"I, Liu Youcai, managed to accumulate this vast fortune. What do you think it was due to"

He raised his handcuffed hands and pointed to his eyes.

"I believe in my judgment, I won't get the wrong person."

"Yang Lin, you are a person who I underestimated in the past, but recently these things have made me look at you with admiration. I believe you are a hidden dragon!"

He pointed at Yang Lin and sighed, "It's truly a sad tale. Our Liu family is large and prosperous, with numerous relatives. But when I was arrested and wanted to entrust everything, I suddenly realized that after running this business for so many years, there wasn't a single person I could rely on!"

Liu Youcai shook his head self-deprecatingly, a bitter smile on his face.

"Then you thought of me" Yang Lin smiled wryly, pointing at himself. "Entrusting your family to your enemy I really don't know what you were thinking! Aren't you afraid that I'll take over your family business and then abandon your family"

"Be not afraid!"

Liu Youcai said without hesitation.

"Still the same, I believe in my judgment. I've always been good at seeing people!"

Liu Youcai's eyes gleamed as he stared at Yang Lin and said, "You're a man of principle, always lending money to the poor. I even heard you hosted a pig feast, inviting over a hundred people"

"Spending so much money just to have them eat meat Hmph, I can't possibly understand what you're doing!"

"So you and I are different. I'm selfish, but you have your principles. I believe in your promises; you keep your word!"

Yang Lin narrowed his eyes and asked, "What if I refuse"

"No"

Over three thousand taels of silver, over a thousand mu of land! Don't you agree

Liu Youcai was suddenly flustered, staring at Yang Lin in disbelief.

Yang Lin shrugged. "Silver is certainly tempting, but as you know, my business is very profitable too. This money doesn't really mean much to me."

Liu Youcai's body involuntarily stumbled, and with a thud, he fell to his knees.

"Yang Lin, please!"

"I've lost, completely defeated! From now on, there's only you, Yang Lin, in our village. No more Liu Youcai! Please, give them a way to live!"

As he spoke, he suddenly began to kowtow to Yang Lin, head after head.

Far off, the yamen servants and villagers who were watching this scene were all dumbfounded.

Yang Lin also sighed.

This man is a pushover. Liu Youcai, capable of doing anything for his family, even humbled himself before this enemy. It's hard not to feel a pang of sympathy.

Okay, I promise!

> But I cannot marry your daughter.

“I know you want me to marry your daughter because you think that's the only way I'll truly care for your family.”

But you also said that you believe me, so just listen to me.

"Having received your money, I will protect your family to the best of my ability from being bullied by others. I can't guarantee anything more than that."

"The world is tough, and it's not easy for anyone to live. Can you understand that"

Liu Youcai heard this and nodded hurriedly.

"Good, good, no problem! As long as you promise, I Liu Youcai will believe you!"

"There are only over three hundred taels of silver left in my house, the rest were all buried by me in the backyard, under that big locust tree

"

“As for the land deeds, they’re all with my wife. I’ll have my wife bring them all to you right away.”

As for Qiao Yun, she is a good girl. You would be best to marry her, but if you are unwilling, do not force yourself.

Saying that, Liu Youcai with difficulty rushed to Yang Lin and bowed.

"Leave everything to me!"

I don't ask for them to be rich and powerful, I just wish they could live a peaceful life.

That night, Yang Lin received the silver Liu Youcai had left him, as well as deeds to nearly two thousand acres of land!ng they want to give us a big gift!""Just..."The steward hesitated to speak."What is it"Zhou Kun hurriedly asked.The houseman hurriedly said, "I just saw them.
