    “You don’t need to worry about me. I have capable hands, and I won’t starve,” reassured Wang San.


    Chen Lin’er had already made up her mind to learn culinary skills from Qin


    Zhenzhen. If possible, she also wanted to acquire massage techniques from Qin Zhenzhen’s health center. If Mrs. Su decided to open a health center in Shanglin, Chen Lin’er was willing to lend her support.


    Regardless, Wang San adamantly refused to ept Chen Lin’er’s shop.


    “If you decide to return to the countryside, I’ll assist you in selling the shop and acquiring the fields. I’ll even help you with the nting, though I’d prefer to rent thend from you.”<div>


    “You can consider marrying someone else. When the timees, any child will carry my name, and the fields will still be yours.”


    “As for me, don’t worry. I’ve thought it through. The deceased are gone, and the living must go on. I’ll actively face the future.”


    “I’ll work hard to earn a living, get married, and have children. I won’t allow the Wang family’s lineage to end.”


    Chen Lin’er was deeply moved. In ancient times, having no immediate rtives was amon predicament. For someone like her, without a child or husband, her family line would cease to exist, and her assets would be divided among her husband’s cousins and nsmen. She might even be forced back to her mother’s house.


    By voluntarily handing over her assets to Wang San, she expected him to ept, but he genuinely didn’t want them.


    “You understand. Even if I don’t give it to you, I won’t be able to protect it.” “I might as well give it to you now. Sell the shop before those people find out.” Only then did Wang San grasp Chen Lin’er’s underlying concern.


    Indignantly, he eximed, “What right does a n member have to divide your assets?”


    “When you were condemned to death, I pleaded with the n leader to intervene, urging him to file a joint petition to overturn the case for you.


    However, they were all so paralyzed by fear that they didn’t even dare to show their faces, afraid that Ms. Zhang’s brothers would seek revenge.”


    “They argued that they needed to safeguard their families and couldn’t risk antagonizing the mountain bandits. I understood their position, and I didn’t press them further.”


    “Now that you’ve been acquitted and have reimed your assets, how can they shamelesslye forward to im everything from you?”


    Just as Wang San concluded, a dissenting voice interjected, “Wang San, what are you saying!”


    “The n has always had a rule! Every member of the Wang family must adhere to it!”


    “How can we allow outsiders to seize the assets our kinsfolk worked hard to earn?”


    “Are you out of your mind? You stand to gain the most from this extinction. ording to our n’s rules, the one closer to extinction receives a greater share of the assets!”


    The speaker was Wang Yi, the n leader of the Wang family. Behind him stood four middle-aged men and two elderly members.


    Wang Yi, aged about 60, had held the position of patriarch for two decades, seeding his father, andmanded great respect within the n.


    The journey from the small mountain vige to Shanglin Prefecture took them a day and a half. Aware of Su Bin’s intent to overturn Chen Lin’er’s case, they had sent someone to observe the proceedings. However, they remained concealed in the crowd, hesitant to reveal themselves, fearing retaliation from the bandits.


    After Ms. Zhang’s execution, Chen Lin’er reimed the house and the shop, but the matter of food extinction remained unspoken, as they dreaded offending the bandits.


    Later, they received reliable information that Governor Su had issued a call to heroes worldwide, urging them to assist in eliminating the bandits and posted an announcement exining the situation.


    Shanglin was gued by banditry, causing immense hardship for the people. Due to the national army’smitment to border defense, troops couldn’t be spared to address the mountain bandits, allowing their audacity to grow unchecked.


    The governor’s call sought to rally heroes from across the world in Shanglin, presenting a united force to eradicate the bandit menace..
