Seeing off the chief steward of the Shang family, Lin Run sighed to Lin Qingwan again: "I am not as good as you, if only you were a man." ”

In that way, she will be able to inherit the position of patriarch, and the Lin family will definitely not be so difficult.

Lin Runcai has been the patriarch for more than a year, and he has already deeply felt the difficulties, not only from the resistance from within the clan, but also from the external challenges.

The rights of the patriarch are indeed great, but the responsibilities are equally great.

Lin Run has begun to miss the days when Lin Jiang was the patriarch, and he was really relaxed at that time.

Lin Qingwan just smiled at him, "Fifth brother, things are almost busy here, I'll send someone to escort you back, now is the time of chaos, and there can't be no one in the clan." ”

If something like this happened in the Lin family's courtyard, Zhou Tingshi's tolerance for the homeless people will definitely shrink again, and there will be some action during this time, and the Lin family, as the largest clan in the south of the Yangtze River, will definitely have something to say.

Lin Run asked, "How do you think the Lin family should express its position?" ”

"Yan Zi made Chu, Chu made a thief pass, and the king of Chu asked, 'Are Chu people good at thieves?' Lin Qingwan said: "The fifth brother is full of poetry and books, so he naturally knows that this is not right. ”

Lin Run understood Lin Qingwan's attitude, and he bowed his head and said, "I will stab Shi Ti with Zhou, so that he doesn't accidentally hurt the innocent homeless." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, she ordered not to leave any of them last night, which was already a shock to the outside world.

It is not only a counterattack against the people who provoked behind it, but also a warning to the displaced people.

For the Lin family, this is enough.

At this time, instead of standing on the opposite side of the vast number of displaced people, it is better to divide the displaced people and not beat them to death with a stick.

Kindness is given to those who are just fleeing for their lives, and strong means are used against those who have evil intentions.

The Lin family's most praised thing is that in addition to being virtuous, it is now unsafe, so it is better to strengthen morality.

"Fifth brother, it's better to take the clansmen to help those lonely and homeless people, not only for fame, but also to accumulate some blessings."

Lin Run smiled bitterly, "Where is it so simple, you don't know the situation in the clan, there is no wealth left in the clan, and the clansmen are not very well-off, but I am afraid that they will not be able to give much money to help." If it's just a small fight, it's better not to do it, it seems too petty. ”

"It's better to give the things to Zhou Tingshi and hand them over to him to take them for work."

This is another dilemma for the Lin clan.

The Lin family used to be very rich, not to mention after Lin Ying, that is, the generations before Lin Ying were all Jiangnan clans.

Although most of the money is accumulated in the grandson branch, the side branch is dependent on the grandson branch, and life is still good.

But after the Gengwu disaster, the Yan branch was almost completely wiped out, and only one Lin Zhi remained, and all the family property of the Yan branch naturally belonged to him.

Lin Ying can only fight, and his attention is also upward, but Lin Zhi is not.

He had a knot in his heart, and he hated the side branches when he saw death and did not save them, and when Lin Ying was there, he held the family property tightly in his hands, and discharged the side branches one by one from those money-making industries.

And when his father died, Lin Zhi was even more unrestrained, except for giving some money to the clan every year and some offerings to the ancestral hall, the Yan branch almost did not support anything from the side branches.

He will make money again, and the emperor is ashamed of him, and he has a lot of rewards, and many things are turned a blind eye, so the Lin family has advanced by leaps and bounds in his more than 30 years of management, not only the emperor, but also some old families do not have money for him.

After Lin Jiang took over the position of patriarch, the life of the side branch was a little better, although the mustard was still there, but there was more support.

It's a pity that he was too loser, and he directly donated all the properties of his grandson with a letter.

You must know that most of the Lin family's property is in his hands, and the other side branches don't have much money. Otherwise, why did the three sect elders rush to Yangzhou in a hurry?

Now the status of the Lin clan is a little embarrassing, the clansmen value money more seriously, and Lin Run's great efforts to prepare food relief for the displaced people have been wasted before, and at this time, let them pay for it, which is almost like ascending to the sky.

Although Lin Qingwan does not live in the clan, she also knows the current situation of the Lin clan from Lao Zhongbo, which is also a problem she has been worried about.

Does she have a crush on the Lin clan?

No!

Is there a responsibility for the Lin clan?

Nor did it!

But she can't let them go on like this, a huge family doesn't even have a heart, and she will slowly lose the foundation she has accumulated over hundreds of years.

And she and Yubin actually need her protection, even if they don't like the people of the side tribes who make up her.

The identity of the county lord can give her protection is really limited, in fact, it depends on her own ability and the forces behind it.

For example, Zhong Ruying, who is the same as her as the Holy County Lord, who dares to look down on or bully the County Lord Ruying?

Does Zhao Jie dare?

I'm afraid that he won't even dare to straighten his back when he sees Zhong Ruying, that is, the emperor's several princes have to politely please this righteous sister when they see it.

Why?

Because she can be good at literature and martial arts, has the talent of a general, and because she has 100,000 Western troops in her hands.

Lin Qingwan can't do her part, or she can't do it now, so she can only rely on the family.

At this time, the Lin clan naturally developed better.

"There is a way to give up, the fifth brother go and persuade it, try to raise it first, and I will make up for what is missing," Lin Qingwan thought for a while, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "Those who have money will contribute, and those who have power will contribute, and when the time comes, you will count them and give me their list, whether it is in addition to money, or contribution." ”

Lin Run's heart jumped, and he didn't ask her what she was going to do, but nodded directly: "Okay, I'll talk to the clansmen when I go back." ”

"Then the fifth brother will rest for another night, and I will send you back early tomorrow morning."

Lin Run happily didn't fall asleep for half the night, and his eldest entourage saw that the old man was happy like this, and couldn't help but say: "Master, my aunt and grandmother didn't say what to do, why are you so happy?" ”

"No matter what she's going to do, she's always going to intervene, and that's fine." Lin Run sighed and said, "In the past, I thought that the second brother left Sister Wan at home because he didn't trust me and wait, but now it seems that Sister Wan has that ability." ”

After this incident, Lin Run was very convinced of Lin Qingwan, that is, he would not do better than her in her situation.

"The clan is already going downhill, but my father and I can't find a way out, and now we can only hope for Sister Wan'er."

She must have the resources given by Lin Jiang in her hands, and she still has that IQ.

Through the events of last night, Lin Run knew that she had that decision, if she was willing to meddle in the affairs of the clan, it would be an opportunity for the Lin family.

It's much better than the second uncle ignoring and the second brother letting things go, right?

Early the next morning, Lin Qingwan sent four guards to escort Lin Run's Hui clan before sending the people away, and Steward Zhong came back with the four bereaved families.

The four long-term workers were far away, and the chief steward Zhong had to find all the people or rush overnight to bring them back this morning.

The four families felt bad when the big steward Zhong brought someone to the door, and their first consciousness was that Xiaolang had caused trouble with the owner.

But I didn't expect that people didn't cause trouble, but they died.

Entering the mourning hall, the four families ran to the coffin.

Before the coffin was covered, the four families found their children and couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Lin Yubin helped Lin Qingwan to stand outside the door and watched, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

The four families cried, and then they asked about the long-term workers in the same village as them.

Although Steward Zhong had already told them what had happened, after they discussed it, they felt that they still had to ask others.

If they were really killed by the homeless people to protect the owner, they would admit it, but if they were killed by the owner, although they might not be able to do anything, they should always know what to do.

Chief Steward Zhong glanced at Lin Qingwan and whispered to them: "That's our aunt, you should meet your aunt first." ”

Only then did the four families notice that there was a group of people standing outside the door, and the two girls led by them were very magnificent, like fairies, and they knelt down in a hurry, not even daring to raise their heads.

Lin Qingwan nodded slightly to Lin Yubin, and Lin Yubin hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, "No need to be polite, let's just take a look." ”

Lin Yubin looked at the four coffins, pursed his lips and said: "They died to protect the courtyard, my aunt said before, if he is injured in battle, then my Lin family will be responsible for his life, and if he dies in battle, my Lin family will also take care of his family." Therefore, if you have any requirements and can do it, we will definitely do it for you. ”

The four families were panicked, looked at each other and lowered their heads and said, "There is no request, it is already good for the owner to give them a coffin." ”

Lin Yubin's eyes widened in surprise, obviously not quite understanding.

Human life is not worth much at this time.

Lin Qingwan took a step forward and said, "You have worked hard all the way, so let's go down and rest first." ”

She looked at Steward Zhong and said, "Take them down to meet their fellow villagers and let them comfort them more." ”

Steward Zhong knew that she was going to get rid of their suspicions, so he hurriedly bowed his head and responded.

At present, most of the long-term workers are still in the two side courtyards of the front yard.

The rooms inside were cleaned up to house the wounded, and some of the uninjured were cared for here.

In the past two days, everyone's condition has been a little bad, and when they killed someone, they were already red-eyed and didn't feel it, and they were always a little scared when they dreamed back at midnight afterwards.

The biggest thing these long-term workers had done before that was to leave the village and work in the Lin family's courtyard.

Killing people is so far away for them.

Lin Qingwan knew that they needed psychological counseling, and she was not good at it, all she could do was to affirm their efforts. Then let Fang Datong take the veterans who came down from the battlefield to explain.

Fang Datong and they don't know about the so-called psychological counseling, but they have seen a lot of such things, and when they were in the army, they always met two or three batches of recruits every year.

Aren't they the ones who often have nightmares when they first come down from the battlefield?

No one can remain indifferent to the loss of a human life, whether a comrade or an enemy, except for those who are naturally murderous and indifferent.

When the bereaved family members of the four families went to the side courtyard, they were shocked for a while, and hurriedly found the long-term workers of their respective villages and asked, "Are you all on the battlefield?" How did you hurt so many people? ”

When the long-term workers saw the familiar people, they couldn't help but shed tears, "There are five or six hundred of those mobs, if it weren't for the fact that the owner persuaded more than 100 people to retreat first, and we made preparations in advance, I don't know how many people would have been killed or injured." ”
