Chapter 1904: Chapter 1906: Targeted

The Yang Family didn’t take the matter of a live-in son-in-law seriously, but that doesn’t mean the villagers who heard of it wouldn’t take it seriously.

It spread like wildfire until it reached the county town.

In a rundown temple on the outskirts of the county town.

A few ragged men holding broken bowls sat on straw mats inside the rundown temple, chatting idly.

One of them spoke like he was offering a treasure, "Hey, let me tell you, I heard some good news."

"What good news?" the others asked in confusion.

"You know the Yang Family Village in our county, the one with the fish pond, right?"

"Of course, they also have a shop in town. What’s up with them?" The fact that the Yang Family opened a fish pond and a shop was well-known in the county town. It had been the talk of the town for a while, so people didn’t understand what new gossip could come from them.

"I heard their daughter is looking for a live-in son-in-law."

"What? A live-in son-in-law?"

The man, with a hint of greed in his eyes, said, "Yes, a few days ago I even went to take a look at the shop. That girl is quite beautiful. Whoever becomes their live-in son-in-law won’t have to worry about food and clothing, and money will definitely be pouring in."

"Wow, that is indeed good news."

At this point, the man gave a sly smile, adjusted his hair, revealing his somewhat decent looks, and said, "Hehe, right? Hey, what do you guys think of my looks? Do you think I can make it as a live-in son-in-law?"

This action caused everyone to burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Your looks are okay, but folks like us, beggars, why would they fancy us? Even a live-in son-in-law needs to be selected, right?"

The man revealed a calculating gleam in his eyes and said, "Help me, and if it works out, I definitely won’t treat you poorly."

As soon as he said this, everyone stopped thinking it was a joke, collected their laughter, and asked, "How can we help?"

The man gestured for everyone to gather around and said, "When we run into that girl one day, go up and surround her, doesn’t matter if it’s robbery or whatever, and then I’ll appear as the hero saving the damsel, and you guys pretend to injure me. She definitely won’t leave me unattended, and that way I can get to know her, and from there I can find a way to become the live-in son-in-law."

At this point, nobody spoke up, they all pondered over the plan.

The man continued as he saw their hesitation, "Once I become the live-in son-in-law, I definitely won’t forget you all. At the very least, we won’t have to beg anymore or sleep in this rundown temple. By then, everyone can eat rich foods and wear fine clothes. So, what do you say? Are you in or not?"

Such tempting conditions indeed made people a bit excited, and someone asked, "Are you serious about this?"

"Of course, I’m serious. We’ve been begging in this area for so long, so naturally, if there’s happiness to share, we will. If this works out, there will be benefits for you too," the man said, trying to persuade them.

But in his mind, he thought that once he had that girl and became the live-in son-in-law, living a life above others, who would recognize these beggars anymore?

Those beggars, after exchanging glances and discussing among themselves, said, "Alright! So, when do we do this?"

"I’ve observed that when the girl is at the shop, she often goes to Xiangxiang Cloth Shop and she goes on foot. We’ll make our move then..."
