Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 439 I naturally want a formal title.

Just as Lin Beishan was about to express his feelings, Lin Chang'er added, "Of course, I still make money. Compared to what I earn, the extra labor costs are nothing."

Lin Beishan said "Oh," thinking to himself, "That's right. If we just keep subsidizing them, she won't be able to come up with 20,000 taels to fill their deficit all at once."

However, even though women can earn money, Lin Beishan still felt guilty and was determined to help his daughter earn more money.

Undeterred, he asked her, "So you're not going to improve the equipment?"

Lin Chang'er said, "Of course I want to! Before, my development was limited to the fields under my own name in Linshui Village."

"Now we have more contact with neighboring villages, so we can get other villages to plant sugarcane together, and I'll harvest the sugarcane later."

"We definitely need to increase production capacity."

Lin Beishan chuckled, as if he could finally do something for his daughter, and patted his chest, "Just leave it to your parents, we'll make sure it's handled properly."

Lin Chang'er chuckled, "Alright, then it's up to you and your mother."

Lin Beishan's smile widened, becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

At this moment, Raindrop, who had been asleep, started to whine and cry.

Lin Chang'er hurriedly reached out and touched the diaper. It was dry, no poop. She then asked her father, "How long has it been since you had any food?"

Lin Beishan scratched his head, "Three hours or so?"

Lin Chang'er slapped his arm. "What a terrible thing you've done! He's only a little over a month old, which is the time when he needs to eat small meals frequently. You haven't even given him a sip of water in over three hours."

They quickly took the little one and coaxed him to go find Aunt Gu.

Lin Beishan scratched his head. "Is it really that troublesome? This kid is quite well-behaved and rarely cries."

Gu Ersao was also very relieved. When she saw Lin Chang'er carrying the crying Yudian back, she asked with a smile if the child was too difficult to take care of.

Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "It's not that Yudian is hard to take care of, it's just that my dad is unreliable. He treats him like a big kid, and he will call out when he's hungry or thirsty."

"How old is he? But this kid is really good at holding back. If he hadn't woken up from hunger, he probably wouldn't have cried."

Gu Ersao smiled, patting her son's head as she said to Lin Chang'er, "Your father-in-law loves his son so much; he carries him everywhere. It's Yudian'er's good fortune to be with him."

Lin Chang'er suddenly remembered that before, because of her muteness, Gu Ersao had suggested that she raise Yudian for her, fearing it would affect Yudian.

Now that her father is like this, it has relieved Gu Ersao's worries.

Although her father is unreliable, he has a lot of solid knowledge in his head, so the children can't be too bad off with him.

Especially for children like Yudian, they are truly influenced by what they see and hear.

She felt relieved and patted Gu Ersao's shoulder, saying, "It's good that you don't feel sorry for him or blame him."

Second Sister-in-law Gu waved her hand, "My father-in-law has helped me a great deal, how could I possibly blame him?"

Seeing that Gu Ersao was genuinely happy, Lin Chang'er's resentment towards her father completely disappeared.

The next morning, Wu Qingfeng and the others were to return to the county government office. As for the bandits they had captured the previous night, they had already been interrogated that night.

Since they had not committed any murders, they were spared and allowed to remain in Linshui Village for labor.

Before leaving, Wu Qingfeng left two yamen runners to guard him.

The two selected constables were overjoyed, as if they had received a windfall.

Those who weren't chosen were quite dejected, but they became a little happier when they heard that the job was rotated every two weeks.

Lin Chang'er was going to deliver goods, so she went with them.

On the way, she asked Wu Qingfeng, "What are you going to do about this?"

Wu Qingfeng said, "There's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days and guarding against thieves for a thousand days. Those few last night were relatively well-behaved, and we have a general idea of ​​where their hideout is."

"but……"

Lin Chang'er asked, "Is there anything you can't say?"

Wu Qingfeng shook his head. "If what they say is true, I suspect that this matter is inextricably linked to Guo Dabao and his mother."

Lin Chang'er was taken aback. "What does this have to do with the two of them?"

Wu Qingfeng continued, "According to the confessions of those we captured last night, their leader also heard from others that there are wealthy gentry here, and he had enough to live on for three years."

"And since the wealthy man is not at home, this is the perfect time."

"That's why we sent these people to scout the location."

Lin Chang'er frowned. What they were saying did seem to be talking about her. Moreover, the resentful look in Guo Dabao's eyes when they left the village that day still gave her the creeps.

Thinking of something, she said, "Wouldn't it be too much to alert them if we just arrested them this time? Should we find a chance to let them escape, and then secretly follow them and catch them all in one fell swoop?"

Wu Qingfeng shook his head, "Most of these people were forced to go up the mountain. If they had other ways to survive, they probably wouldn't go up the mountain again."

Lin Chang'er: "So you want to just fight your way up like this?"

Wu Qingfeng said, "Suppressing bandits is also the duty of local officials; it just takes a little more effort."

Lin Chang'er said, "Okay, after I get back, I'll discuss it with Uncle Hai and ask the nearby villages to send people together. The main force will still be drawn from our village, so it will be easier for you to mobilize them."

First, he doesn't have military power; he has to wait for approval from above, going up and down layer by layer, and it's unclear how long that will take.

Instead, we should utilize the resources we have on hand.

"Okay!" Wu Qingfeng didn't stand on ceremony with her.

The two talked and soon entered the city.

Lin Chang'er still remembered the matter of suppressing the bandits, so she didn't stay long after delivering the goods. He Fei, on the other hand, was waiting at the city gate with a bundle in hand.

Lin Chang'er understood immediately upon seeing his expression. "Should I give this to Sister Xing'er?"

He Fei nodded. Everyone here is smart. He guessed that Lin Chang'er must have figured out about his relationship with Wang Xing'er.

To be straightforward and honest, I simply said, "Thank you for your help."

Lin Chang'er said, "It's just along the way, but I don't know what Brother He's plans are." Speaking of which, Wang Xing'er was someone she brought back to the village as a sworn sister.

He Fei said, "Of course I want a formal title, but Xing'er..."

Lin Chang'er was relieved to hear that he hadn't come to cause trouble. "Okay, if you and Sister Xing'er have any difficulties, just tell me properly later. Sister Xing'er is my nominal sworn sister. Although we've never officially acknowledged each other as relatives, others know that."

"She has suffered a lot before, so it would be good if someone were willing to support her."

"If it's just a passing fancy, then so be it. I'll arrange her future myself."

Hearing her say that, He Fei's face flushed red with anxiety. "Master Lin, I am definitely not the second type of person you described. Xing'er and I have known each other for a long time. If it weren't for her brother and sister-in-law interfering..."

After pausing for a moment, she said, "In short, don't worry. If she's willing to be with me, I'll definitely treat her well. As for Chuan'er, I'll treat him as my own son. If she's not willing, I still want to take care of them as much as possible."
