The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 48: Proud Young Master, Future Arrow God

Tianfeng County.

Just as Lin Fan was preparing to host a grand banquet, allowing his wife and family to bask in the limelight, a figure dressed in black with a masked face quietly entered an exquisite courtyard.

"Young Master, the Shadow Guard requests an audience."

The person in black entered the courtyard and respectfully bowed in front of a room.

Creak~

Not long after he spoke, the door to the room slowly opened, and a young woman in a red dress walked out from inside.

"Wei Wu, you're back so soon. Did something happen to that person?" The young woman was excited.

The person in black nodded, "Yes, Young Master. I followed your orders and kept a close watch on him. There were no incidents earlier, but yesterday, something happened."

"What happened? Tell me quickly!" The young woman became even more excited, urging the person to speak.

"Yes!"

The person in black respectfully nodded and slowly recounted the situation.

The incident was none other than the conflict between Lin Fan and the Vice Leader of the Si River Gang in Su Family Village.

"Alright, I already know about this. You go back and continue to keep watch. Report immediately if there are any developments!" The young woman nodded in satisfaction after listening, then dismissed the person in black.

"Yes!"

The person in black left after receiving the order.

Only the young woman remained in front of the room. At this moment, she couldn't help but smirk.

"Jian Ling, just wait at home. Soon, your little secret will be exposed by this proud young master!"

The young woman revealed a smug smile, then walked out of the door with large strides.

"Another drink!"

Su Family Village.

Lin Fan was surrounded by a group of men. Among them, Su Erhuo took the lead, holding a bowl of alcohol and enthusiastically toasting Lin Fan. His clothes were already soaked.

"Sure, another drink."

Lin Fan accepted every bowl offered to him. As long as someone dared to present a bowl in front of him, he would gulp it down.

With his vigorous physique, he wasn't just capable of riding three horses at once or fighting on the battlefield every night. When it came to drinking, he was definitely at the Divine Grade level.

Especially in this era, the alcohol wasn't distilled, and its alcohol content was similar to beer.

Even without his vigorous physique, an experienced drinker like Lin Fan could easily down several large barrels.

Although the men in Su Family Village were fond of alcohol, they were only fond of it. They might not even have a chance to drink it once a year.

Compared to these inexperienced drinkers, even a young man from modern times could outdrink them.

And that was indeed the case.

Even if Lin Fan drank against a group of them, he didn't hold back and easily outdrank them all.

However, despite getting drunk, everyone was having a great time. The children were even happier than during the New Year. Rare meat was being eaten openly at all times.

Eating until they were full, eating until they vomited.

This wasn't an adjective.

Some children ate so much that they vomited forcefully.

Some couldn't walk because their bellies were so bloated. If it weren't for the adults stopping them in time, they would have caused themselves harm.

Some elderly people even cried while eating, feeling that they had wasted their past few decades.

Today's feast was better than all the previous ones combined.

"The daughter-in-law of the Sanshui family has truly found a good husband. From today onwards, her family will prosper!"

An elderly person sighed emotionally.

Although they didn't know the specifics, they were well aware that hosting such a grand event would require an unimaginable amount of money. Even the wealthy landlords might not be able to afford it.

Even if they could afford it, they wouldn't be willing to spend so much.

After all, it was impossible for them to spend a large sum of money to treat a group of peasants.

Only those truly wealthy and influential individuals would be willing to do so.

Because what ordinary people considered a large sum of money was just pocket change to those influential figures.

"Yes! Look at how radiant Sister-in-law is, her eyes are shining brightly."

"Haha, what's so special about that? Look at Su Jianwu, he's smiling so much that his mouth is about to split open. If it weren't for his broken leg, he would be flying."

The older generation chatted while eating, their words filled with envy.

A Feast.

Everyone enjoyed themselves very much.

Lin Fan's goal was also achieved. From now on, the in-laws of his own wife in this village would definitely have face, and no one would dare to look down on them.

There was no need for explicit instructions; everyone present knew how to handle themselves.

The feast came to an end.

Lin Fan only stayed for one night before planning to go home.

There was no other way; living here was too inconvenient.

"Erhu, have you really decided to leave the village and work with me?" Lin Fan asked Erhu, who had come to his doorstep, in front of the carriage.

Originally, he had planned to set off, but he didn't expect that as soon as Su Erhu woke up from his drunken state, he came looking for him, nervously expressing that he also wanted to have a job by his side like Wang Erxiao.

During the feast, he had a good chat with Wang Erxiao and learned about the situation. When he found out that Lin Fan was about to leave, he couldn't sit still.

However, this kind of matter was a bit abrupt, and he was nervous in his words.

When asked, he nodded hesitantly, "Yes... I don't know if you're willing to take me in. Don't worry, Erhu won't slack off no matter what work he does. I can do anything."

Afraid that Lin Fan would refuse, he vigorously patted his chest to assure him.

Compared to other men from the mountains, Su Erhu was quite sturdy, with muscles beneath his dark skin.

Through the conversation during the feast, Lin Fan also knew that because he came from a family of hunters, he could often go up the mountain to hunt for wild game to improve their diet. So, compared to the common malnutrition, his family was better off in this regard.

But it was also because of this that his thoughts were more active compared to other men in the village.

Living off the mountains couldn't satisfy his young and restless heart; he wanted to see the outside world.

And to achieve this, following a big shot was undoubtedly the best choice.

"It's not impossible to follow me, but you must have a special skill, like Erxiao. He is clever and can drive a carriage," Lin Fan didn't immediately agree, but instead asked the other person.

He did need some help now, especially someone who knew the ins and outs.

But not just anyone would do; he wouldn't take someone who couldn't contribute. After all, he needed people to help, not someone who only knew how to eat.

Su Erhu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, as long as he didn't outright refuse.

As for having a special skill, he had already thought about it when he came.

If he didn't have his own strengths, he wouldn't dare to actively come and ask for a job.

"Master, although I don't have the same strong abilities as Erxiao, I can drive a carriage for you. But I also have some other skills," Su Erhu smiled and said, taking off the cloth bag hanging from his shoulder and opening it, taking out a wooden longbow.

When Lin Fan saw the longbow, he wasn't surprised, after all, the other person was a hunter.

But what happened next surprised him, or rather, shocked him.

Su Erhu nodded at Lin Fan, then picked up three homemade arrows, drew the bowstring with a little force, and released them into the sky in front of everyone.

The arrows shot through the air.

Then three birds that happened to be flying by were shot down from the sky.

Three arrows, all hitting their targets.

Su Erhu, who seemed simple-minded, turned out to be a sharpshooter who never missed a shot.

"So impressive?" Lin Fan's eyes widened slightly, realizing that he had found a treasure.

As long as he could train the other person's strength to be even stronger and provide him with a good bow, he would have a powerful bodyguard ready-made.

If anyone threatened Lin Fan, the other person could assassinate them from a distance.

Even the top experts in the martial world might not be able to escape a sudden attack.

"Your skills are very good. You can follow me from now on," Lin Fan calmed his inner waves and nodded in agreement to the other person's request.

"Thank you, Master!" Su Erhu was excited upon hearing this, unaware of his true value.

At this moment, he was only excited.

Excited that he, Su Erhu, could finally leave the mountain village.

Lin Fan smiled at this.

A future invincible archer had been recruited under his command.
