    Lin Yun said with a serious face, ” but big brother Zhou, whether your father bes an official or not doesn’t seem to have much to do with me, right? ”


    Zhou Wencai choked when he heard that. He immediately analyzed, ” sister Yun, you’re wrong. Think about it. First of all, let’s not talk about the deep friendship between you and me. Just on this point, you should help me, right? Besides, don’t you have my father backing you up in the restaurant and the Lin medicine shop in An Ding County? Besides, everyone in anding County knows that the person behind you is my father, County Magistrate Zhou, right? So, you can’t say that there’s no rtionship between you and my father.”


    Lin yun nodded and said, ” that’s right. However, big brother Zhou, if your father doesn’t be the county Magistrate and lets someone else be the county Magistrate of An Ding County, I think I can still persuade him to be my backer, right?”


    Zhou Wencai choked, but he immediately reacted. “sister Yun, you can’t say that. You see, my father doesn’t seem to be after you for anything, but if it’s a different County Magistrate, it’s not necessarily the case. Just these cherries that cost a few hundred taels a catty and these expensive special fruits are enough to make people jealous. Besides, your farming methods and your winter nting methods can both promote you to a higher position and make a fortune. How is it possible that those people won’te after you? So, in the end, my father is still the most loyal, isn’t he? He’s willing to be your backer and hasn’t been greedy.”


    After hearing this, Lin Yun pretended to think about it seriously for a moment, then nodded and said, ” from what you’ve said, it seems like it’s natural for me to help County Magistrate Zhou, right? ”


    Zhou Wencai’s expression froze. He could neither say yes nor no. He was stunned and did not say a word.


    Lin Yun suddenlyughed and said, ” that’s enough, brother Zhou. I was just joking with you. You actually took it for real. Just like you said, with our friendship and the fact that county Magistrate Zhou is a rare good official, how could I not help you?”


    Zhou Wencai was overjoyed as he immediately jumped up in joy and said, ” sister Yun, what do you want to do? Don’t tell me you’re really going to sell us 50 catties of cherries?”


    Lin yun smiled and said, ” the price of my cherries has increased to 400 taels per catty. 100 catties is 40000 taels of silver. Are you really willing to fork out that much? ”


    The moment he heard 40000 taels, Zhou Wencai’s expression immediately weakened.


    Thest time he had to use 2500 taels to buy this cherry, it had already made his heart ache. If he were to take out another 40000 taels, it wouldn’t just be a heartache, but he would also lose everything.


    In total, the Zhou family’s total assets in the entire anding County were only about 40000 to 50000 taels.


    Was he really going to go bankrupt to buy these 50 catties of cherries? That was not possible.


    Zhou wencai immediately said with a serious expression, ” what do you mean? ” Was she really going to give them a hundred pounds of cherries?


    Lin yun smiled and said, ” you wish. Besides, I don’t want to let that Ji Zhongcai off so easily.”


    She had asked Little Green to inquire about Ji Zhongcai.


    He was simply a scum in human skin. Therefore, no matter what, she couldn’t let Ji Zhongcai take her things and rise to a higher position, make a fortune, and build connections.


    Zhou Wencai was somewhat puzzled. “Sister Yun, what are you nning?”


    Lin yun immediately said seriously, ” big brother Zhou, if I’m not mistaken, the Zhou family in An Ding County is actually a branch of the Zhou family in Beijing, right? ”


    Zhou Wencai was rmed when he heard Lin yun’s question.


    Although this matter wasn’t aplete secret in the capital, it was a secret in anding County. Where did Lin yun find out?


    Could it be that he had heard about it from Jiang Zhennan?


    But on second thought, it was unlikely.


    Jiang Zhennan was a military official who had been away for a long time. He had only returned to Beijing in the past six months. Therefore, he might not be clear about the secrets of the major families in Beijing. He would not be able to guess that he, Zhou wencai, and his father, Zhou Changsheng, were from the branch family of the Zhou family in Beijing.


    Zhou Wencai mumbled, ” sister Yun, how did you know? ”


    Lin Yun shook her head and said seriously, ” you don’t need to know where I found out. You just have to tell me yes or no?”


    Zhou Wencai felt conflicted in his heart for a moment. Then, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, ” yes!”
