“Tatar?” Guo Huiniang covered her mouth in surprise.
Lin Changshu solemnly nodded, “Normally, Tatars only move in winter, but this year, they emerged early. In the past, they only raided border villages, but this year, they even reached Feng City, which is unusual. People are guessing whether the two countries are going to war.”
“A war?” Tears welled up in Guo Huiniang’s eyes.
Lin Zige went pale, “Brother, you and Brother Dayou aren’t going to war, are you?”
“Don’t scare them. These are just village rumors. We don’t even know what’s going on yet. Maybe the Tatars are just trying to disturb the peace.” The old man furrowed his brow and reprimanded Lin Changshu.
“Yeah, it’s just speculation. You don’t need to worry.” Wu Dayou came over to comfort Lin Zige and the others.
“No war.” Lin Yanzhi showed a frightened expression in his eyes.
“No war.” Guo Huiniang held him tighter.
“You should go back. We’ll help out here for now.” Lin Changshu said. “Grandfather, you should also go back.”
The old man nodded in agreement, knowing the presence of men at home would bring some peace of mind to the women.
So, amid the gloom and worry, Guo Huiniang and others returned home.
Lin Ziyin was also somewhat disheartened. Being new here, she had been busy finding ways to earn silver these past days and lacked understanding of the history, geography, and social customs of the Daqin Empire.
Today’s incident kept her on edge.
If the Northern Land, being a border area, posed a threat to personal safety, she would have to find ways to earn more silver, look for a safe place to live with her family, or consider other options.
With unease and concern, Lin Ziyin had a restless sleep that night.
Due to the occurrence of such a major incident in the village, the atmosphere in the village remained somber for several days.
“Sigh, how will the widows and orphans survive henceforth,” Guo Huiniang sighed while picking out bad beans.
“Either way, life must go on.” Lin Zige responded sorrowfully, “We must endure, even for the children’s sake.”
Lin Ziyin quietly listened, not participating in their conversation.
She wasn’t a saint who would randomly show kindness. Given the Lin Family’s current situation, they didn’t have the capacity to look after others.
“Ziyin, I brought over Brother Bai, Wu Dali, and the others.” Lin Changshu walked in from outside, followed by Bai Dazhuang and a few others.
The men looked happy despite their visible fatigue.
“Please sit down, gentlemen.” Lin Ziyin stood up and greeted everyone. “I presume my brother has already discussed the terms with you. If you are willing, we can sign the agreement.”
“Agreed.” Bai Dazhuang, the oldest among them, was the first to agree readily.
“Ziyin, rest assured, we are not reckless men.” Wu Dali also expressed his position.
“I know, otherwise I wouldn’t have asked you here.” Lin Ziyin said, smiling softly, “Let me get the pen and ink.”
Bai Dazhuang and the others were surprised that she could read and write, but recalled that Lin’s late father was literate, and their doubts faded.

Lin Ziyin prepared agreements according to the number of individuals and had them signed by Wu Dali and the others. By the afternoon, the oil extraction workshop was ready to start operations.
“This thing can extract oil?” Wu Erli asked, looking astonished at the machine inside the house after Lin Ziyin’s introduction.
“Yes, during this period, my brother and Brother Dayou may have to stay inside the house,” Lin Ziyin said.
