Workshop, we've had to lay off about half of our staff.Deploy manpower to go up the mountain to fell trees and split firewood.And not far from the workshop, mark out a space and have people dig to get...That night, a group of masked men, carrying clubs, broke into the tofu shop by the river. They smashed at the molds, water tanks, and wooden barrels.

The fish tank was smashed, the wooden bucket was broken, and the mold was thrown to the ground.

Water grinding was also unable to escape the disaster.

"Don't break it, don't break it!"

Who are you

"Stop it!"

The old man who kept watch shouted urgently.

These burly men charged over and beat up Old Man Wang with punches and kicks.

"Old man, remember this, if you don't want to die, don't do anything for Yang Lin!"

Old Wang was beaten and clutched his head, quickly fainting.

This evening, many people in the village near the mountain were beaten by masked strong men and threatened not to work for Yang Lin anymore.

The next morning, Yang Lin's front door was crowded with people. Everyone was excited and waiting for Yang Lin to come out.

"Oh no, Master!"

Wumei said anxiously, "Our tofu shop was smashed last night!"

"Many of our working villagers have been beaten. Now, everyone is outside waiting for you to make a decision."

All the women present were greatly astonished upon hearing this.

The tofu shop is an important source of income for them and the villagers make money there. Now that it has been smashed, what are they going to do

However, Yang Lin remained calm. Hearing the news, he showed no surprise, only asking his fifth sister: "How are everyone's moods"

"Five Mei looked worried. 'It's not good! Some villagers were scared and don't know if they can continue working for us; some villagers are angry and want us to fight back!'"

After finishing, Wu sighed and worriedly asked, "Master, what should we do now"

All the women looked at Yang Lin nervously.

If they can do something like this, who knows what else they might be capable of. If the other party keeps harassing them like this, their tofu shop won't be able to stay in business.

However, Yang Lin smiled.

He muttered to himself, "What's coming will come eventually. The time is ripe. Let's go out."

All the women were surprised. At this time, he was still smiling

Li Yuxiang's heart skipped a beat.

He thought back to before Zhou's family came looking for trouble last time, Yang Lin had already made plans to deal with it.

So what about this time

Could he have anticipated that something like this would happen

As Yang Lin stepped outside, he immediately saw the large crowd of villagers gathered at the door.

When Yang Lin came out, the originally noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

However, only for a moment did the villagers fall silent before they erupted once again.

"Yang Lin, the tofu shop is gone, and we were also beaten. What should we do"

"They are too much!"

"We haven't done anything to provoke anyone. Why are they bullying us"

"Yang Lin, you have to do justice for everyone here."

Yes, we all listen to you!

Old Wang limped out of the crowd, his head still stained with blood. With a sob in his voice, he stammered, "It's my fault, I wasn't able to stop them! Yang Lin, I'm so sorry..."

Wang Lao cried tears of grief.

Yang Lin's face also turned ashen.

"Fellow countrymen, elders!"

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't able to protect you!"

Upon hearing Yang Lin's words, the villagers hurriedly waved their hands.

"Well, this isn't your fault. It's probably Landlord Liu who did it."

"Yes, you make more doing this kind of work than him. His regular workers don't want to do it anymore, so he takes his anger out on you."

"That's right, Yang Lin. We don't blame you at all." everyone chimed in.

Yang Lin gave them so much money, it's understandable that others would be envious. However, it's not Yang Lin's fault that they are jealous. They are still able to tell right from wrong in this matter.

Yang Lin continued, "Everyone who was beaten last night, I will cover the medical expenses!"

And the injured person should stay home and recuperate until they are fully healed, then return to work. During their recovery period, they will still receive their wages!

When Yang Lin finished speaking, the villagers immediately erupted in an uproar.

Not only does he have to pay for medical expenses, but he also gets paid for recuperation

How could something like this possibly happen

"Yang Lin, it's not your fault, why would you take the money"

"Yes, we need to find Liu the landowner!"

"Yeah, when you hit someone, you have to have a reason. There are so many of us, we're not afraid of him!"

Yang Lin waved his hand: "My decision is final, and I won't change it! You don't need to persuade me anymore."

"Today's events have given me a wake-up call."

"Now that we are making money and living better, some people get envious and jealous of us."

"Last night's events, I believe everyone knows who is responsible."

"Our wages are high, and I want everyone to earn more so they can live a little better."

But some people can’t stand it! They don't want everyone to have a better life, they want everyone to keep living in poverty, suffering. No money to spend, no food to eat, only able to borrow from them, sell their land!

Now that everyone has money, they won't sell their land. It's me who blocked people's wealth path.

"What can we do Are we just going to let others ** on our necks Or should we fight to the end"

"I don't know what everyone else thinks, but for me, Yang Lin, I never compromise!"

"If anyone is afraid, timid, and wants to continue living a bitter life, just leave. I, Yang Lin, won't blame him! Now I'll give him his severance pay!"

Yang Lin spoke, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

Yang Lin's words ignited the passion in everyone.

Thinking back to their previous poverty and comparing it to the changes they've experienced this time, even the timidest person has blood in their veins. This moment, Yang Lin completely ignited their bloodlust.

"Fight to the end!"

"Fight to the end!"

We are not afraid of him!

The crowd shouted excitedly.

"Good!"

Yang Lin shouted loudly.

Since no one is willing to be a coward, we have to take up arms and protect ourselves!

"From today on, we establish the security team for Zao Shan Village!"

“I, Yang Lin, will provide the funding. Ten coins a day, no work required. Every day I will train, only to protect our own industry, protect our families, and protect our hard-earned happiness and future!”

The crowd erupted in chaos.

Guard team

This is great!

With a bodyguard, no one would dare to bully them anymore.

And ten cents a day, it sounds so tempting!

I'll participate.

"I want that too!"

Amidst the fervent enthusiasm, villagers eagerly raised their hands to sign up.

"For those interested in joining the guard, please sign up here. Yang Lin doesn't have much money now, so I can only afford to hire ten people. Therefore, the requirements will be stricter."

"Strong men, physically fit, with a martial arts background, who are fearless and courageous, are prioritized!"

"And most importantly, our security detail needs to be disciplined and follow orders!"

"I won't shortchange any of you. Besides ten wen per day, there's also a bonus of one thousand wen at the end of the year!"

Li Yuxiang suddenly realized.

She finally understood Yang Lin's intentions!age.""The village You mean this paper was made by the village workshops"The man in fine clothes frowned again. "Yes, how many of you would like to buy paper today" Liu Xi asked with a chuckle.Although...
