We agreed on a famine year, so how come your family has enough rice and wheat flour?

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and glanced casually at Chen Youtian.

"Chen, when I returned to the village, I encountered three men with knives. They tried to kill me, but I captured them alive. What do you think... should I report this to the authorities?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Youtian was no longer calm.

Those three good-for-nothings were actually captured alive.

Suddenly remembering something, Chen Youtian regained his composure.

"Lin Feng, the government has no time to deal with your trivial matters right now. Just recently, news came from Beishan Village that the bandits had massacred the village. It seems that someone resisted and angered the bandits. Afterwards, a few survivors went to report to the authorities, but it was no use."

"The government doesn't care about such a big matter, so your matter is useless. Why don't you send the person to me, and I, the village head, will take care of it for you."

Lin Feng was stunned.

This band of mountain bandits has started massacring the village!

It was even more brutal than he had imagined.

Lin Feng looked at Chen Youtian, "Chen, I can't hand the person over to you, but I already know who wants to kill me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Youtian's fingers trembled slightly.

Lin Feng continued, "Give me one hundred taels of silver, plus a thirty-year-old wild ginseng, and this matter will end here."

Chen Youtian was so angry he laughed. He had to pay so much for just three servants.

It would be better to let Lin Feng report it to the authorities.

Chen Youtian dropped the pretense and immediately refused: "Impossible. Don't even think about a hundred taels of silver, and don't even think about a thirty-year-old wild ginseng."

"Then it seems there's no point in talking."

Lin Feng stood up expressionlessly.

"Talk? What the hell gives you the right to talk to me!"

Chen Youtian suddenly slammed his cup down and roared angrily.

The servants beside him stared wide-eyed at Lin Feng.

Even the vicious dog roared, ready to tear Lin Feng to shreds at Chen Youtian's command.

Looking at this situation, Lin Feng sneered slightly: "Chen Lizheng, your posture is really intimidating, but it's useless against me. If I dared to come here, I should know that I'm just a worthless life."

"I just don't know if Chen Lizheng is willing to gamble with my life, to see who... dies at whose hands!"

Hearing Lin Feng's threat, Chen Youtian didn't care. With so many servants around him, no matter how powerful Lin Feng was, he was nothing special.

However, Chen Youtian did not want to kill Lin Feng in the Chen family, otherwise it would be quite troublesome to deal with, and he would have to spend money to bribe the government.

Chen Youtian chuckled and said, "Why gamble with your life? I'm already in my forties. I should enjoy my current wealth and have a few more kids with my concubines."

"You should think about your next problem. Don't embarrass the men of Dongshan Village by not being able to get Liu Yu pregnant."

"Alright, you can get lost now!"

"see a visitor out!"

After saying that, Chen Youtian took the fourth concubine's hand and turned to leave, ignoring Lin Feng.

"Didn't you hear me? Get out of here!"

A servant, leading a vicious dog, barked at Lin Feng, trying to intimidate him.

Lin Feng didn't say anything. He glanced at Chen Youtian's back, then at the snarling, vicious dog, and left with a meaningful smile.

Subsequently, Chen Youtian sent people to find those three good-for-nothings.

News quickly came back that the three good-for-nothings had been shot dead.

"Damn it! Lin Feng actually dared to kill my servant."

Chen Youtian flew into a rage.

These slaves who sold themselves into servitude were essentially his private property.

Even the death of one person made Chen Youtian feel a pang of heartache.

"but……"

Chen Youtian was deep in thought.

"When did this idiot become so amazing?"

……

"My lord, you're finally back!"

When the slender Liu Yu saw Lin Feng return, she smiled broadly and used a faded handkerchief to wipe his sweat. She then helped him unload the basket on his back and took out a bundle of firewood.

Seeing Liu Yu's concern for him, Lin Feng felt a warmth in his heart and said with a smile:

"My wife, look at my haul this time."

Lin Feng took out a plump pheasant and a honeycomb weighing nearly two pounds from his basket.

"Wow!" Liu Yu's peach blossom eyes lit up instantly. There was meat and honey.

Smelling the fragrance of cliff honey, Liu Yu smiled and her voice carried a hint of admiration.

"My husband, you're amazing!"

Seeing Liu Yu's admiring gaze, Lin Feng felt a little proud.

"My lady, you must try this cliff honey, it's so sweet!"

Lin Feng broke off a small piece of honeycomb and brought it to Liu Yu's lips.

Liu Yu took a small bite, and the sweetness made her feel weak all over!

"The cliff honey is so sweet!"

Liu Yu had never eaten it before; this was the first time she had tasted such delicious cliff honey.

My heart was bursting with joy.

Lin Feng gave Liu Yu some extra honey, and saved the remaining one and a half catties of cliff honey to sell in the county town the next day.

"Come on, let's make dinner. We're having meat tonight!" Lin Feng said, carrying a plump chicken.

Inside, dinner is ready.

Lin Feng chopped the whole, processed pheasant into small pieces, used them to make soup, added some wild vegetables and coarse salt, and the aroma of the chicken soup instantly filled the air.

"Wife, why don't you sit down and eat?" Lin Feng sat down on the stool and noticed that there was only a bowl of brown rice on the table.

Liu Yu stood to the side, watching longingly. She clearly wanted to eat, but she never sat down at the same table as Lin Feng.

"I...I'm not hungry...Husband, you eat first..."

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, her flat little belly, which hadn't tasted meat in a long time, started to rumble.

The atmosphere became awkward.

Lin Feng chuckled silently.

I understand why Liu Yu didn't sit down and eat with them.

The Great Xia Dynasty was a patriarchal society, especially in rural areas where women generally had to wait for their husbands to finish eating before they could sit down and eat the leftovers.

Liu Yu had been instilled with this idea since childhood, so she naturally and subconsciously stood obediently to the side.

Lin Feng's tiger-like eyes darted around, and seeing Liu Yu's longing gaze, he picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a chicken leg, and waved it in front of Liu Yu.

Looking at the fragrant chicken leg, Liu Yu licked her lips with her scarlet tongue, and a devilish voice echoed in her mind.

I really want to eat it, my love... stop teasing me!

Lin Feng teased, "Wife, do you like your husband's big chicken leg?"

Liu Yu blushed and nodded weakly, "Yu'er likes it."

"What do you like?"

"Big chicken leg."

"Whose big chicken leg?"

"My husband."

Read it aloud together.

"Yu'er likes her husband's big chicken leg."

Lin Feng laughed and took Liu Yu's little hand, making her sit next to him. He then served her a bowl of brown rice and placed a chicken leg on top of it.

"My wife, you don't need to pay attention to those outdated customs at home. The idea that women can't sit at the table is utter nonsense to your husband."

Liu Yu was deeply moved, and the love in her peach blossom eyes almost overflowed.

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He gently stroked Liu Yu's delicate nose. "Alright, stop looking at me like that. Eat your chicken leg!"

In no time, the chicken and chicken soup were completely devoured.

Lin Feng took a shower and then returned to his room.

Just as he was thinking about something, a frail figure pushed open Lin Feng's door and walked in.

"My lord!"

"Yu'er...come and sleep with you..."

Liu Yu's cheeks were flushed, with a hint of shyness, and she was only wearing an old white bodice and underpants.

My wife is so beautiful!

Lin Feng swallowed hard. Liu Yu was so thin she was practically a bamboo pole, but the white undergarment was barely able to support her weight.

Slender branches bear abundant fruit...

Liu Yu pinched the hem of her bodice with her small hands. "Husband, the doctor said that even if we don't have wild ginseng to replenish our vital energy, we can still stimulate it repeatedly through some method, which may help us recover some of our strength."

"This afternoon, my husband went hunting in the mountains, so I went to ask the women in the village for advice and learned some tips," Liu Yu said, biting her lip and speaking in a soft voice.

Before Lin Feng could respond, Liu Yu gave him a flirtatious look, her ears burning, and climbed onto the bed.
