Chapter 40: Chapter 40- It was an accident the last time

At that moment, Manager Chen was not the only one who was kneeling on the ground with his face covered in tears.
The villagers looked towards Young Master Lin with a stunned expression like they had misheard.
They thought that Young Master Lin would console them and say some useless words. However, they didn’t think that he would actually say that he would provide grain for them.
That was something that hadn’t dared to imagine.
“Are they shocked beyond words?”
“That makes sense. There really aren’t too many nice and kind people like me.”
Lin Fan felt really good; maybe that was the case. Manager Chen was touched by him, and the villagers were shocked speechless.
Such a feeling was really good.
Manager Chen raised his hand with much difficulty and pulled his Young Master’s sleeves. His lips were dry, “Young Master…”
Lin Fan told Manager Chen to not speak, “I know what you want to say, this is something I should do.”
Manager Chen felt like the sky was crumbling.
Young Master had no idea what he wanted to say.
If Old Master found out about this, everything would turn to chaos.
Although he wasn’t certain, such a thing probably would occur.
Just at that moment, the villagers came to their senses. Their expressions had a huge change, turning from desperation to hope.
Putong!
They were too used to kneeling down, as all of them knelt on the ground, “Thank you, Young Master Lin!”
Looking at a black patch of villagers, Lin Fan originally wanted to tell them to stop. It wasn’t a large matter, but it was useless even if he said that.
Kneel if they wanted to.
He was just a rich young master who wanted to enjoy life, not a landlord that did evil.
“You don’t have to thank me. I will say the same thing. Farm well, whether or not I can enjoy life depends on all of you.”
Lin Fan’s words were really direct.
What was the point of saying fake words?
He had allocated the fertile grain of the Lin Family to increase profits, to create more wealth to increase his enjoyment.
Just the short term farming model was too dangerous.
It wouldn’t last for long.
How many of the villagers could survive? In the end, if they did a final struggle, the outcome would be catastrophic.
“Don’t worry, Young Master Lin. We will try our best to farm. We won’t let Young Master Lin down.”
When they were in despair, Young Master Lin appeared and gave them hope.
They had no way to repay the faith and could only try their best at farming and farm well.
“Rise up. Tomorrow I will distribute grain. Come to the Lin Manor to wait.” Lin Fan said and waved his hands, “We will go back.”
Manager Chen wanted to stand up, but his legs trembled, and he fell back down. In the end, Zhou Zhongmao helped him up.
“Manager Chen, your body is a little weak.” Zhou Zhongmao said.
Manager Chen wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He wanted to exclaim that it wasn’t his body that was weak, but that he was frightened by the young master.
Lin Manor back courtyard.
After coming back, Lin Fan laid there. In his hands was a map of You City. He took a look, and after memorising it, he tossed it to the side.
“Young Master, do we take the grain from our granary?” Gou’zi asked.
He didn’t understand either.
That was a lose-lose situation.
Even if he sympathised with them, Young Master was just handing out their own grain.
“Guess.” Lin Fan smiled.
Gou’zi scratched his head, how could he manage to guess anything?
At that moment, right as Lin Fan was prepared to act, rage points started to climb.
“Rage Points +111.”
“Rage +223.”
“Rage Points +333.”
Only to see Zhou Zhongmao dash in hurriedly, “Cousin, this is not good. Uncle is coming!”
He was panicking.
Although he knew that what Cousin did would make Uncle angry, he didn’t expect that it would actually cause him to come personally.
“What?”
Lin Fan was stunned. That was a little too quick.
He knew that Father would definitely be angry, but for him to rush over here with a blade was too terrifying.
No.
He shouldn’t be that angry yet.
Otherwise, the rage points wouldn’t be so low.
“This unfilial child.” Before he even arrived, a furious voice spread forth.
Lin Wanyi’s expression was really fierce. He had just told him not to cause trouble. Who knew that in a blink of an eye, he did just that.
Xiu!
A light flashed, and then a blade stabbed into the ground. It trembled and buzzed.
Under the shine of the light, the snow-white blade gave out a glittering glow.
Lin Fan and his cousin exchanged glances with one another.
What was going on?
Did he have enough and was about to sacrifice him to the heavens?
“Cousin, apologise to Uncle. I think he is serious this time.” Zhou Zhongmao said.
“Oh my god.”
Lin Fan was actually speechless, “It isn’t a big issue, is there even a need for all this?”
Very quickly, Lin Wanyi had arrived. Old Wu followed beside him, giving different gazes towards Young Master to ask him to admit his mistakes.
However, to Lin Fan, admitting his mistake wasn’t a solution.
“Father, did something happen?” Lin Fan asked.
“Scoff.” Lin Wanyi scoffed coldly, “Did something happen? Do you have no idea? You have grown strong and are giving grain to the villagers. How strong can you be?”
Facing the rage of his father, Lin Fan kept calm and didn’t panic.
“Father, didn’t you say that I have already grown up, and as long as I know what I am doing, it is fine?” Lin Fan said.
“You unfilial child, you don’t remember the good things and only know how to remember this. You want to say that you know what you are doing?” Lin Wanyi was totally furious. This unfilial kid really dared to argue with him; he really grew some courage.
Old Wu sighed.
Looking at the situation, Young Master wouldn’t apologise to Old Master.
“Of course I know what I am doing! Yuan and Liang Families are assholes to steal the stored grain, asking them to die. Now that they are under us, we have to do something.” Lin Fan said.
Lin Wanyi laughed coldly, “What are you going to do?”
“Use the Lin Family stored grain.” Lin Fan replied directly.
“That belongs to the Lin Family, not you.” Lin Wanyi said.
Lin Fan shook his head, “No, it is mine. I am the Lin Family Young Master, your only son.”
“You…” Lin Wanyi was speechless. This unfilial kid made it impossible for him to retort; his words did make some sense.
Old Wu looked at this father and son pair like he was looking at an interesting game.
In the past, Young Master rarely spoke so much to Old Master.
Now that Young Master had started to argue with him, this was good progress.
“Good, I will not talk to you. Now pick up the blade. As long as you can win, I won’t ask about this matter.” Lin Wanyi said.
“Father, you just want to beat me up. You are so strong, so how can I fight you?” Lin Fan said.
What a joke.
He knew that his father was really strong.
Even if Yuan and Liang Families worked together, his father would still win.
“Your external cultivation is not bad, martial path Grade Three, your internal cultivation is weaker at Grade One. I will suppress my cultivation to martial path Grade Two. Don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance to win.” Lin Wanyi didn’t bother with Lin Fan’s cultivation. Even if he used Grade Two cultivation, he would be able to suppress this unfilial kid.
His way of thinking was really simple.
He wanted to use the strength from martial path Grade Two to let the unfilial kid know that his cultivation was far from enough.
Lin Fan was delighted, “Father, you aren’t lying to me, are you?”
“Take your blade and stop speaking nonsense.” Lin Wanyi said furiously.
“Great, then I apologise in advance. If I injure you, don’t blame me.” Lin Fan felt like his father didn’t even look him in the eye, actually using Martial Path Grade Two to fight him.
Lin Wanyi was about to laugh from the rage he felt upon hearing this kid’s words.
Injure him?
Scoff.
What happened last time was an accident.
