Xu Jiaolan: ...

Duan Yaoyao: ……

Others: ...

They all looked either unhappy or embarrassed.

Everyone present was intelligent and understood what she meant.

Lin Jingyu's voice continued, "As for whether I am a kind person or not, does that have anything to do with you wanting to live in our courtyard for free?"

"Leaving aside the fact that I don't intend to sell the yard anytime soon, the fact that you're clearly trying to get a free place to live in our yard while acting like 'I'm doing you a favor by looking after the house,' makes me want to throw you all out the door."

"Lin Zhiqing, you've misunderstood. We didn't mean that..."

Xu Jiaolan was interrupted by Lin Jingyu as soon as she spoke, "An explanation is just a cover-up."

Neither you nor I are fools; any further explanation would be mere sophistry.

Please leave, everyone. Our courtyard will not be rented to anyone.

"Of course, if you can afford the price, we're happy to sell it to you."

Women: ...

It was clear that Lin Jingyu and the other woman didn't like them, so they had no choice but to leave.

But secretly, I regretted not having the chance to live in such a beautiful courtyard.

“That’s too much.”

After they left, Peng Shiyu was filled with anger that she couldn't vent. "I've never seen such shameless people."

There's no need to be angry.

Lin Jingyu shook her head. "They really don't have much money, and the front yard is too crowded, so it's not surprising that they have this plan."

They just thought we were fools.

They say they'll rent our yard, but they're actually hoping to live there for free.

For the first two months, they might give us a dollar or two to get rid of us.

After a year or two.

They will definitely find other excuses not to pay rent.

It won't be easy for us to kick them out then.

No matter what, this is the educated youth's backyard. If they just stay here and do nothing, we really can't do anything about it.

The best solution is to simply prevent them from moving in.

"Of course, if someone can afford it, we wouldn't mind selling it to her."

"I don't want to sell for the time being."

Peng Shiyu muttered, "We've lived here for two or three years, and we've gotten used to it."

It's convenient for us to come back and stay when we have time.

Besides, we have so much furniture and household goods in our home, why should we give them away to others for free?

They shouldn't even think about it.

"If you don't want to sell, then don't sell. We're not short of a few hundred dollars."

Lin Jingyu didn't care; she could sell it or not.

Then he added, "When we leave, we should tell Shujue and Su Zhiqing to keep an eye on our courtyard so that the shameless people in front won't force us to move in."

"Yes, we must remind them of that."

"We still need to pack up what needs to be packed. We'll take back what we can to the county town first."

"I see."

...

The two of them were busy tidying up their homes.

evening.

Lin Jingyu brought food to the cowshed.

Since Grandpa Sun moved to the county town, Uncle Liu has been living alone in the cowshed.

"Third Grandfather, please come back to the county town with us."

Lin Jingyu sincerely suggested, "If you don't want to stay at my house, you can go and keep Grandpa Sun company. Wouldn't it be great if we could meet in the county town every day?"

"Nonsense, even if we went to the county town, we couldn't possibly see each other every day."

While eating, Third Master Liu replied, "You young girls have to go to class. Why do you have to see us old men every day? You should be doing well in your studies."

"Third Grandfather, you've agreed to go to the county town?"

Lin Jingyu smiled brightly, "No going back on your word. You'll be coming to the county town with us in a couple of days."

"You girl."

Uncle Liu chuckled, "It's fine to stay there for a while, but I can't stand living in the county town long-term. It's more comfortable and carefree in the village."

"What do you mean by comfortable and carefree? You just want to find something to do."

Lin Jingyu had long seen that the old man was someone who couldn't sit still, and said frankly, "Don't worry, when we get to the county town, I'll definitely find you a lot of things to do, so you won't even have time to doze off."

"Okay."

Master Liu replied with a smile, "It all depends on whether you can find me some work to do."

Lin Jingyu raised her eyebrows at the old man and said, "Just you wait and see."

"You're quite capable, I believe you have a solution."

Master Liu smiled and asked again, "Is it still possible to get your grandfather's pistol?"

"You knew about this too?"

The topic changed so quickly that Lin Jingyu was taken aback. "Third Grandfather, did you see the gun in my maternal grandfather's hand?"

"What, can't I even look?"

"No, Third Grandfather, that's not what I meant."

"Don't try to fool me, you little brat."

Third Master Liu glared at her, "If you can get one, get one for me and Old Man Sun."

Lin Jingyu blurted out, "Isn't it supposed to be a gun ban?"

"You don't need to worry about that. If you can get them back, get two for us."

"I can't guarantee that, we can only give it a try."

"You little rascal, tell people to be careful, this thing is indeed quite eye-catching."

"I know, I won't do anything reckless."

...

Back home.

Lin Jingyu lay in bed, unable to sleep.

I couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and the gun kept getting on my mind.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Master Liu and Old Master Sun.

Instead, it felt like giving away a handful of these things was like opening Doraemon's magic pocket, with people constantly taking things out and you couldn't control it.
