She was replaced by a husband, married the future tyrant and farmed to fight back

Chapter 184

"My dear, why are you asking about Gao Yucheng?" The long-time attendant was his right-hand man chosen from the Black Wind Village. He also knew a little about the situation in each village.

He was puzzled by Qin Yiran's request for him to investigate a village boy. Was it necessary? He had to deal with important matters.

"He has always had improper thoughts about the Qin family's manor. I'm worried that he will take action after I leave. Go and find out if he has taken any action."

"Yes, sir." The attendant replied and turned to leave.

In the evening of the day when Qin Yiran left, after everyone in the manor had finished dinner, Liu Yingyue immediately called for the manager Tian and said, "Call all the farmhands here. I have something to tell you."

Manager Tian thought she wanted to give instructions on spring ploughing, so he didn't ask any questions and immediately passed the message on.

Soon, all the farmhands came to the main house in the front yard.

"Madam Ying, all forty-three farmhands on the farm are here." Manager Tian said, pointing at the crowd.

The big guys stood in several rows, looking at Liu Yingyue, waiting for instructions on farm work.

But Liu Yingyue said, "I called you all here today not to instruct you on farm work, but because I have something special to tell you."

Everyone looked at each other, and seeing Liu Yingyue's serious expression, they all asked, "Madam Ying, please speak."

Liu Yingyue looked at everyone, "If, I mean if, our manor suddenly disappeared, was robbed, and someone chased you away, what would you do?"

"Madam Ying, who wants to rob our farm?" Blacksmith Feng was the first to ask loudly.

His son's condition was under control, thanks to Liu Yingyue's help.

His whole family was brought to the village by Liu Yingyue. Not only did the workload not increase, but their monthly salary also increased by 100 wen, and the family also lived in one more room than in Liujiazhuang.

He has regarded Qinjiazhuang as his home.

As soon as he asked, others followed suit.

Since these farmhands came to Qinjiazhuang, their income has increased a lot compared to when they worked on their own at home, and everyone regards the Qin family as their own home.

Such a home must not be taken away by anyone. Seeing everyone's excitement and nervousness, Liu Yingyue felt very relieved.

She said, "I received news that in the neighboring county, there is a group of thieves committing crimes everywhere, specifically robbing the farms of the wealthy families in the villages. I am worried that they will come to rob us as well."

"Madam Ying, report to the authorities! The current county magistrate is Miss Liu's man! He is someone you know, Madam Ying." Blacksmith Feng said immediately.

Liu Yingyue shook her head. "We can report to the police only if the thieves come. If the thieves don't come, how can you let the government catch them? Where can we catch them?"

Her question left Blacksmith Feng and everyone else speechless.

"What should we do then?" Blacksmith Feng scratched his head and became anxious.

"Madam Ying, close the doors to the front and back yards every night and put a few vicious dogs guarding the gate to see if the thieves dare to come in." Someone suggested.

Several people said that this was a good idea.

"There are so many thieves, a few dogs may not be able to scare them away." Liu Yingyue shook her head, "But I have an idea."

"What's your idea, Lady Ying?"

"They have a lot of people, but are we still a small number?" Liu Yingyue looked at everyone, "Are you willing to protect Qinjiazhuang with me?"

"Of course I am willing!" Blacksmith Feng said loudly.

Others also agreed and said they were willing.

Having this courage is enough.

Liu Yingyue raised the corner of her lips slightly. In fact, there were not many thieves, only Gao Yucheng and a few of his followers.

But she didn't dare to be careless, she had to take precautions in advance.
