The Princess of Northern Land

"It's so comfortable." Chang Ting rolled on the kang, and Yan Zhi rolled with him.

Lin Changshu felt very warm in his heart after reading it, and felt that all the fatigue these days were worth it.

"Miss Lin, we brought you the tools you asked for today." Early in the morning, Si Si pulled the cart over.

"Okay." Lin Ziyin nodded.

"Send it to the oil mill nearby." She said to Si Si, "I'm sorry for bothering you."

"Move." Si Si ordered the boy to bring him. The last time Si Jinhan hurt Lin Ziyin, as an accomplice, he always felt guilty towards Lin Ziyin. Therefore, he would try his best to help complete whatever Lin Ziyin asked him to do recently.

"It's right here, thank you." When they arrived at the oil shop, Lin Ziyin pointed to the open space and said to the boy.

So the boy put everything aside.

"How to fix these things?" Wu Dayou looked at a pile of iron tools and looked around for a long time but still couldn't find the trick.

Lin Ziyin smiled lightly and said to him, "You and your brother help, and I will assemble it."

In order to prevent Si Jinhan from seeing the secret, the drawings she gave were just the parts.

"You said, let's do it again." Lin Changshu said.

So the three of them got started. Lin Ziyin took the wooden frame he made and assembled the simple oil press all morning.

"When will we start pressing oil?" Lin Changshu asked.

"I can do it tomorrow. But the oil mill needs people, and the tofu business is short of manpower." Lin Ziyin said.

"What should we do?" Wu Dayou and Lin Changshu were both worried.

"It's better to hire someone." Lin Ziyin said, "Brother, you ask Brother Bai and Brother Bai to come over, as well as Wu Dali and Wu Erli from Li Zheng's family."

"How are wages calculated?" Lin Changshu asked.

"The wages are twenty-five cents a day." Lin Ziyin replied, "They help grind the soy milk and steam the beans. However, when they come, they have to sign an agreement with us. They cannot spread the Lin family's recipes to others, otherwise they will have to pay compensation. And they must avoid the most important process of the Lin family."

Lin Changshu was a little embarrassed. The fellow villagers had to sign an agreement. Doesn't this mean they don't trust people?

"The agreement must be signed." Lin Ziyin was very insistent on this point.

"Okay." Lin Changshu agreed, planning to go find someone to discuss it in the evening.

But at night, something happened in the village, and it was a big deal.

"Master, why did you just go like this?" The cry was so terrifying in the dark night, it was so miserable that it made people's skin crawl all over.

"What happened?" Lin Ziyin asked.

"I don't know." Zi Ge replied, shaking his head.

"I'll go out and take a look." Lin Changshu said.

"I'll go too." Wu Dayou also stood up.

After the two people hurried out, Guo Huiniang quickly locked the door.

Although it's nice that the house is big, many rooms are unoccupied and look empty, which makes me feel a little nervous at night.

Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou went out but did not come back for a long time. Lin Ziyin couldn't help but panic.

"I'll go out and take a look." The cries outside turned into several, including those crying for the son, those crying for the head of the family, and those crying for the father, as well as making noises. This was a big deal, and several people in the room were a little uneasy.

"I'll go too." Guo Huiniang said. "Take the kids with you."

So everyone in the Lin family went out and followed the light of the fire to the open space at the entrance of the village.

Here, most of the people in the village were surrounded. Because there were too many people, Lin Ziyin did not see the people crying inside, nor did he figure out what was going on inside.

"Shuan Zhu's wife, you have to hold on, you still have a baby in your belly." Someone in the inner circle of the crowd exclaimed.

Then another group of people fell on their backs.

Shuanzhu's wife? The image of a shy little daughter-in-law flashed in Lin Ziyin's mind.

"What's going on?" In the crowd, Guo Huiniang took her two children and finally saw Lin Changshu and the others.

"Fang Shuanzhu and the Wei brothers went to the city to work and were killed when they encountered Tatar spies sneaking in." Lin Changshu replied with a sad look on his face.
