Chapter 11 Do you know who I am?

also buy from others, rightIt's not a hassle to sell it yourself in the county, why go through a middleman and give others a cutThe moment Zhao Ji turned to leave, the smile on Xu Liang's face immedia...When he entered the room, Du Jing was writing.

Although Du Jing is only two years older than Yang Lin, he has a beard and looks much older and more world-weary.

Upon seeing Yang Lin, Du Jing was also slightly taken aback.

"Lin Di, how did you come Come sit, come sit."

Du Jing hurriedly put down his pen and warmly greeted Yang Lin.

Immediately, he crouched down at the door and peeked outside. Seeing that his wife hadn't come in, he hurriedly fished out a small silver coin from his belt and shoved it into Yang Lin's hand.

"Quick, don't let your sister-in-law see this. This is my hidden stash of money."

"When Yang Lin didn't answer, Du Jing lowered his voice and sighed, "Brother Lin, don't think it's too little. Our family isn't doing well recently either. We used to be able to make a living just by writing, but some time ago I offended a spoiled young master, and now many people are afraid to come to me for writing."

Du Jing sighed: "So you have to understand your brother, your brother can only help you so much!"

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Jing Ge, I'm not here to borrow money this time."

"Isn't it borrowing money"

Du Jing was slightly taken aback.

He knew Yang Lin's circumstances were worse than his own, and Yang Lin was also someone with an extremely strong sense of pride. He would rather suffer than admit defeat by asking for money. In the past, he always took the initiative to help him out. Now, he had come all this way to find him, it must be that he had encountered a major obstacle, so he took out the little silver he had saved with great difficulty.

As a result, Yang Lin surprisingly said it wasn't about borrowing money

"Well, I'd like to ask Jing Ge to come help me out. It won't be for free, five hundred coins a month temporarily, and more when we make money later."

Du Jing listened and his eyes widened instantly.

"What Five hundred wen"

He stared at Yang Lin in disbelief, as if he no longer recognized his unfortunate cousin.

Yang Lin directly took out a small silver ingot and casually threw it to Du Jing.

Du Jing took it and was greatly surprised.

"This... this is five taels of silver Where did you get so much money!"

Only wealthy families could afford to save such large silver ingots. Ordinary families only had silver coins.

Yang Lin smiled: "This is ten months' salary, as long as Brother Jing goes with me to work, I guarantee that we will earn even more in the future."

"Lin Di, you gave me so much money, what do you want me to do"

Du Jing was at a loss.

"It's simple, just unleash your talents and bring those brilliant ideas you've had to life!" Yang Lin said.

"Ingenious ideas"

Du Jing was stunned again.

Yang Lin nodded. "For example, when you were twelve years old, you once made a pulley. After that, it became easier to draw water from the well."

For example, you discover that lard and wood ash mixed together make your hands cleaner when washing them. You almost invented soap.

And you once used bamboo and animal hide bound together with twine, facing the wind to release them, almost making kites.

Listening to Yang Lin's words, Du Jing couldn't help but feel ashamed. He waved his hand and sighed with self-deprecating humor: "Alas, when I was younger, I always thought about all sorts of nonsense. Everyone called me crazy."

"Now that he is old, he has failed to achieve fame and fortune. He struggles to even support his family, so where could he possibly find the time or inclination to think about such frivolous things"

"Lin Di, I've already forgotten the past. Why are you dwelling on these tricks"

Having heard what Yang Lin just said about pulleys, soap, and kites... although they were all terms he had never heard before, he instantly recalled bits and pieces from his past.

Don't you really regret it

To write articles and pursue official positions, is that truly what you desire

"Technology can change the world, Jingge, you are not wrong, it's this world that is!"

"These past years, you've helped me a lot. This silver is yours to keep, whether you go or stay, it belongs to you."

"But I still hope that Jing Ge can go with me to change the world!"

After finishing, Yang Lin turned around and left.

But Du Jing was in a hurry, and quickly shoved the silver into Yang Lin's hand.

"No, no, this is too much! I usually write for people, and in a month I only earn over a hundred wen. I'm willing to help, but you're giving me so much, I feel ashamed." At that moment, Yu Juan walked in, saw the silver in Du Jing's hand, and her eyes widened instantly.

Here it is!

She stared at the silver piece in disbelief, swallowing hard.

Du Jing sighed helplessly: "It's Lin. He wants me to go and help him, and he insists on paying me, five hundred wen a month!"

Du Jing stretched out a palm and shook his head: "Can I take this money"

"Of course!"

Yu Juan snatched the silver away, glared at Du Jing with a smile, and said, "You can't ignore Yang Lin's matter, you know Yang Lin even asked you to come here personally. What are you putting on airs for"

"As for this silver, my brother Lin, I sincerely give it to you. If you don't accept it, wouldn't that be inappropriate Right, Brother Lin"

Yu Juan smiled and looked at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin nodded. "My sister-in-law is right, even close brothers settle accounts clearly. Jing ge helped me in the past, so I definitely have to pay him."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yujuan smiled and tucked the silver away, urging Du Jing, "Quickly pack your things and help Lin di."

"No rush. Brother Jing, if you've made up your mind, go to Gaoshan Village tomorrow. I'll make arrangements for you when you get there."

When Yang Lin returned to the tailor shop, before he even had a chance to open the door, he heard a commotion coming from inside.

Yang Lin was startled and rushed in.

Just then, a young man in silk robes and fine attire appeared, facing off against his wives.

The women stood together, each holding scissors, rolling pins, rulers... all staring nervously at the young master.

On the side, the tailor shop owner was so anxious he could barely stand it.

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, Master Zhao, ladies, please everyone, don't be impulsive."

Seeing Yang Lin return, the women seemed to have seen a savior.

"My husband!"

"Husband!"

"I'm in charge!"

All the women cried out.

He wants to bully his older sister.

Before Yang Lin could ask, Xiao Jiu had already puffed up her cheeks and pointed at the young master.

Look at Li Yuyao again. She holds a pair of scissors in her hand, her face is cold, and there is a murderous look in her eyes.

Yang Lin had no doubt that if the young master dared to come forward, she would dare to stab him to death with these scissors!

That young master was also furious at this moment.

As the son of a county magistrate, he'd usually tease women and no one dared to provoke him.

However, the women he encountered today were so bold as to dare to resist This made him lose face!

At this moment, when Yang Lin entered, he was furious and said to Yang Lin, "They are all your wives and concubines This one, I want to buy!"

Young Zhao just pulled out a silver coin from his purse.

The result was Yang Lin raised his hand, and with a "slap," he gave him a slap.

"Get out!"

Yang Lin's sudden outburst completely stunned Young Master Zhao.

"Dare you hit me"

He glared at Yang Lin with rage, his voice filled with disbelief as he growled, "Do you know who I am"

"My father is Wei of Jianghe County! You dare hit me You're looking for death!"

However…

"Bang!"

Yang Lin slapped him again!

"Then, do you know who I am" Yang Lin countered.re you all doing blocking this place Are you looking for death Get out of my way immediately, or I'll have you all arrested!"Zhou Zhengyang pointed at the crowd watching the commotion and began to sho...
