Chapter 11 Do You Know Who I Am?

ed it up and took a look, she discovered that it was a light luxury style dress. She couldn't help but ask a few more questions out of curiosity."Did you all design this type of thing"The girl answere...Having 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 than Yang Lin.

Upon seeing Yang Lin, Du Jing was also slightly surprised.

"Lin Di, how come you're here Come, sit down, sit down."

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

Immediately, he leaned down at the door and peered out. Seeing that his wife hadn't come in, he hurriedly took a small silver coin from his belt and stuffed 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, "Lin brother, don't think it's a small amount. Our family isn't doing well recently. We used to be able to make ends meet by writing, but a while back I offended a spoiled young master, and many people are afraid to come to me for writing anymore."

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

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

"Wasn't it a loan"

Du Jing was slightly taken aback.

He knew Yang Lin's circumstances were worse than his own, and Yang Lin was someone with an especially strong sense of pride. He would rather suffer than ask for money. In the past, he always took the initiative to help him out. Now, finding him all the way here must mean he had hit a rough patch. Only then would he take out this little bit of silver he had managed to save.

As a result, Yang Lin surprisingly said he didn't borrow money

"Well, I want to ask Jingge to help me out at my place. It's not for free, 500 wen a month for now, and I'll pay more when we make money later."

Du Jing's eyes widened suddenly.

"What Five hundred wen"

He stared at Yang Lin in disbelief, as if he no longer recognized this 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 save up such large silver ingots. Ordinary families only had small silver coins.

Yang Lin smiled: "This is ten months' salary. As long as Brother Jing goes with me, I guarantee that you'll make 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.

"Keep it simple, just play to your strengths and bring those creative ideas you've had to life!" Yang Lin said.

"Creative ideas"

Du Jing was startled again.

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

For example, you discovered that mixing lard with wood ash makes your hands cleaner and almost created soap.

"Besides, you once used bamboo and animal hide tied together with a string, flying it into the wind, almost making a kite."

Listening to Yang Lin say these words, Du Jing felt ashamed and waved his hand with a sigh. He mocked himself: "Oh, when I was younger, I always thought about all sorts of ridiculous things. Everyone called me crazy."

Now that he's grown up, he hasn't passed the civil service exams and can't make any money. It's hard to even support himself, let alone think about these trivial matters

"Lin Di, I've already forgotten the past. Why are you thinking about these tricks and techniques"

Hearing Yang Lin just now mention things like pulleys, soap, and kites... although they were all terms he had never heard before, they instantly brought back memories from the past.

Do you not regret it, really

To write articles, to take exams for imperial examinations, is this truly what you desire

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

Over the years, you've helped me a lot. This silver is for you. Whether you go or stay, it's yours.

"But I still hope, Jing Ge, can go with me, to change this world!"

After finishing his words, Yang Lin turned and left.

But Du Jing was anxious and quickly stuffed the silver into Yang Lin's hands.

“No, no, this is too much! I usually write for people, and in a month I only earn over a hundred wen. I can help you, but you’re giving me so much, I feel ashamed.” Just then, Yu Juan walked in, saw the silver in Du Jing's hand, and her eyes widened instantly.

"This is!"

She stared at the silver, her mouth moving as if to swallow.

Du Jing helplessly said, "It's Lin Di. He wants me to go over and help him, and he insists on paying me, 500 wen a month!"

Du Jing stretched out a hand and shook his head, "Can I take this money"

"Sure thing!"

At this, Yu Juan snatched the silver from him, glared at Du Jing with a smirk, and said, "As for Yang Lin's matter, you can't just ignore it. Yang Lin even invited you here on purpose, why are you putting on airs"

"As for this silver, my dear brother Lin, I truly give it to you with sincerity. If you refuse to accept it, wouldn't that be inappropriate Don't you agree, Brother Lin"

Yu Juan smiled and looked at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin nodded: "My sister-in-law is right, even close brothers settle accounts. Jing Ge helped me in the past, and I definitely need to pay him back."

"Right, right, right!" Yujuan smiled and put the silver away, urging Dujing, "Hurry up and pack your things and help Lin Di."

"No rush. Jing Ge, if you've made up your mind, go to Koushan Village tomorrow. I'll arrange things for you when you get there."

When Yang Lin returned to the tailor shop, he heard an argument coming from inside before even reaching the door.

Yang Lin was startled and rushed in.

Just then, a dandy in silk and satin appeared, dressed flamboyantly, confronting his wives.

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

Over there, the tailor shop owner was so anxious he could barely stand it.

“Don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive, Young Master Zhao, ladies, please everyone, don’t be impulsive.”

At the sight of Yang Lin's return, the women seemed to have found a savior.

"My husband!"

"My husband!"

"I'm the boss!"

All the women shouted excitedly.

He wants to bully his older sister.

Before Yang Lin could even ask, Xiao Jiu was already pointing angrily at the young master.

Look at Li Yuyao again, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, her face was cold and murderous in her eyes.

Yang Lin had no doubt that if that young master dared to step forward, she would dare to stab him to death with this pair of scissors!

That young master was also furious at the moment.

As the son of a county magistrate, he was used to teasing women and getting away with it. Who would dare to confront him

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

Upon seeing Yang Lin enter, he flew into a rage and said to him, "Are all these women your wives and concubines This one, I shall buy!"

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

Yang Lin raised his hand, and with a "slap," he slapped him.

"Get out!"

Yang Lin's sudden strike caught Zhao Gongzi completely off guard.

"Dare you hit me"

He glared at Yang Lin furiously, his face contorted in disbelief as he growled, “Do you know who I am”

"My father is the county magistrate of Jianghe! You dare to hit me You're asking for death!"

However...

"Bang!"

Yang Lin slapped him again!

"Then do you know who I am" Yang Lin asked in return.iousness and thoughts, if it could be used by the people of M country, they would absolutely not allow it to exist. Destruction and death would be her ultimate fate.How did you knowWhen she thought of...
