It is now the middle of the month.The night was deep, a round moon hung high in the sky.Inside the Yang family home, everyone sat together, watching Xiao Jiu calculate.A line of about ten people walked at the front. Leading them was a graceful young man fanning himself, followed by a merchant in green robes, and behind them were ten or so servants.

"Is it you"

Zhao Ji's face turned pale. He recognized the young man in the green robe as the shopkeeper of Yongxing Commerce, Xu Maocai, whom he had met in the county town two days ago.

However, Xu Maocai ignored Zhao Ji and walked towards Yang Lin with a chuckle, extending his hand and gesturing: "This is Zhou Zhengyang, the eldest son of the Zhou family in the county town, Young Master Zhou!"

Mr. Yang, regarding the tofu from your household, we have investigated thoroughly. Young Master Zhou is very interested in your tofu. From today onwards, Young Master Zhou will purchase all of the tofu you make. From now on, you are not allowed to sell any of it to anyone else!

Xu Maochai smiled and, facing Yang Lin, held up a finger.

"Oh, by the way, and the price"

"Although you claim that a block of tofu costs two cash, we've also investigated and found that at two cash per block, you're still making a profit. Therefore, from now on, supply our Zhou family with tofu at two cash per block!"

Saying that, he pulled a piece of paper out from his sleeve.

"This is a supply contract, please sign it."

Xu Maochai's face was smiling, but what he said was impossible to refuse.

Yang Lin glanced at the piece of paper the other person handed over, and secretly sighed in his heart.

What must come, will come in the end.

He didn't expect the wolf to arrive so quickly!

"What if I don't sign"

Yang Lin asked.

"Oh Not signing"

Xu Maochai's face remained unchanged, and he still smiled and said: "Perhaps I didn't explain clearly. This is Miss Zhou from the Zhou family in the county town. Mr. Zhou, her father, manages the county government's criminal department."

Xu Maocai's smile now clearly held a threatening edge.

Yang Lin knew that Xu Maocai's "punishment room" referred to the institution responsible for managing life and death, theft, lawsuits, arrest warrants, and guards. It was roughly equivalent to the police department in his previous life.

But this world lacks strict laws, so these gentry and officials in the county town are no different from local tyrants.

"Boy, have some shame!"

Zhou Zhengyang let out a cold snort, still not looking at Yang Lin in the eye. He raised his head and said, "In this Jianghe County, no one dares to disrespect my Zhou family!"

Behind Yang Lin, the women's faces were all very ugly.

They even beat up the son of the county magistrate last time. They wouldn't even think twice about a mere jailer's son.

However, they also understood that last time the other party didn't know them, but now that the other party has come to them, if they don't agree, I'm afraid the Zhou family wouldn't let it go.

If you agree, it's not just a block of tofu, but also one penny of profit.

It's the most important thing, being forced to sign this contract by others is just too pathetic!

All the women glared angrily at Yang Lin.

Zhao Fugui then hurriedly tugged on Yang Lin's sleeve and whispered, "Just admit it! Signing will at least give you a way out!"

Yang Lin's eyebrows shot up.

But judging from Zhao Fugui's words, if they don't cooperate with the Zhou family, I'm afraid they won't even have a way to survive

"What are you waiting for!"

Xu Maochai's smile disappeared from his face, his eyebrows shot up, and he pushed the contract in his hand towards Yang Lin again.

"Our young master coming here personally already gives you face. In this Jianghe County, just saying you're doing things for our Zhou family is quite respectable."

"Mr. Yang, don't be so oblivious!"

Xu Maocai narrowed his eyes and handed the document to Yang Lin.

Yang Lin casually took it, but without even looking, he ripped it in half.

Ha ha!

All the faces around suddenly changed. "You can buy tofu, but with your conditions... well, I'm afraid I can't accept them."

Yang Lin tore the paper in half and threw the two pieces to either side.

"Oh my!"

Zhao Fu貴 was so anxious that he slapped his thigh.

He quickly picked up the torn paper and leaned in, apologizing profusely.

"Mr. Zhou, I am so sorry. This Yang Lin has always been a simpleton with no worldly experience. He doesn't know the prestige of the Zhou family. Sir, you are magnanimous; please don't hold it against him. Please wait, and I will have a good talk with him."

Zhao Fu貴 bent over, about to go over and explain the ins and outs of the matter to Yang Lin, but Zhou Zhengyang had already kicked him over, knocking Zhao Fu貴 to the ground.

"Who the hell are you, get out of here!"

Zhou Zhengyang slapped his folding fan shut with a loud *crack*, his eyes fixed on Yang Lin as he let out a cold laugh: "Hahaha, refusing the Zhou family You think you can get away with this From now on, I guarantee you won't even be able to sell a single block of tofu!"

Zhou Zhengyang walked closer and glared at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin did not look at Zhou Zhengyang, but instead went to help Zhao Fu貴.

"Uncle Three, are you alright"

Zhao Fugui was still in a panic: "I'm fine, you go apologize to Young Master Zhou quickly! The Zhou family, we can't afford to provoke them!" and he received a generous amount of bonuses. In just over a month, he earned more money than in the past few years combined!But on the flip side, there's fatigue! Especially whenever I face the task...
