Lin Jinyue's entire family transmigrated. They started in hell mode, with a three-year drought and war. During their escape, her mother and brother fell into a coma, and Lin Jinyue nearly becam...
Lin Youliang was scolded by a group of people until he was completely humiliated. He was a senior member of the village, and all the younger generation treated him with utmost respect.
As a result, today everyone was pointing their fingers at him and cursing him, saying all sorts of nasty things.
These people are scoundrels.
Jiang Yun is nothing but the daughter of a barefoot doctor. The fact that the villagers believe she can cure diseases is just luck. How could he not know what kind of person his daughter-in-law is?
What's even more ridiculous is that the villagers actually pointed at a little girl and tried to find a way to feed them.
That's worse than believing that sows can climb trees.
Lin Youliang was absolutely furious with his third son's family.

After Lin Jinyue and the others finished eating, the whole family started getting busy.
Lin Jinyue remembered how to make the mountain radish. First, she washed the radish and steamed it. Then, she mixed in the extra rice that her family had cooked and mashed it into a paste. She then found a clean place to air dry it.
This "mountain-guarding grain" is a recipe she saw in "Qianzhai Medical Talks". After making it into a paste, it is applied to the wall and left to dry naturally. After drying, it will not be infested by insects or rot, and the longer it is stored, the stronger it becomes.
When it's time to eat, just cut it off, boil it in water to make porridge, and it will be very filling.
If you carry provisions from the mountains while fleeing famine, you'll definitely suffer less on the road.
They didn't bring back many radishes today, and Lin Jinyue didn't know if the mountain food supply would be enough, so she only prepared a portion.
Time flows faster inside the space, so at night, taking advantage of the darkness, Lin Jinyue stored the mountain provisions into the space.
When she took it out the next morning, the paste-like stuff had almost dried out. The rice inside was something she had secretly bought from her spatial storage.
She planned to tell the villagers that it was made from radish and tree root powder when they asked.
Lin Jinyue called her neighbor to cook for her.
It was fine when cooking, but the flavor of the rice was completely masked by the fragrance of the radish.
When the villagers got up, they saw the bowl of yellowish rice porridge and their eyes lit up. They had been so hungry that they were eating tree bark, but when they suddenly saw the porridge in Lin Jinyue's bowl, how could they resist?
Each family was given a palm-sized piece of grain for guarding the mountain. They were so hungry that each person broke off a small half and ate it dry.
Lin Jinyue's great-uncle's family could still patiently cook it, but Lin Youxi took a sip and frowned: "Why can I still taste the rice in this?"
Stone also said, "Grandpa, I also think it smells like rice, it tastes so good."
Aunt Wang next door, however, said, "How come I can't taste it? It must be because you haven't eaten rice in so long that everything you eat tastes like rice. All I taste is radish."
At this moment, cold sweat broke out on Lin Jinyue's forehead.
Just as her great-uncle Lin Youxi said the grain rations for guarding the mountain smelled of rice, a sharp alarm sounded in her mind:
[System: Warning, warning! Host behavior violates regulations and risks exposing the system. Three red card warnings will result in system unbinding. If the system's existence is exposed, the system will be unbound immediately, and items in the farm warehouse will be destroyed.]
Lin Jinyue's heart was in her throat.
She absolutely cannot lose her farm advantage; in these difficult times, if she loses the farm, her family will definitely have a hard time surviving.
Fortunately, Aunt Wang from the village is a picky eater and hates radishes. If it weren't for her comment, everyone would be worried that there was rice or flour in the grain rations. Luckily, she didn't make too much in the first batch, otherwise the system would have directly identified her as having exposed the system.
If there's an excess of grain, people will inevitably wonder where the rice came from.
Lin Jinyue sighed. It seemed that they would have to find another way to solve the problem of everyone not having enough to eat. She decided to go to the mountains with her parents to try their luck.
The forest was vast, and at this time, with everyone around and hardly anyone else, the family spoke without any restraint.
Lin Shucheng: "Is your system so stingy? Is all this food only for our family?"
Lin Jinyue nodded: "Yes, I asked later, and the system said that our family is the chosen one, so we can eat whatever we want. It gives us fair prices. The system doesn't care about the lives of other people. If we want to use the food to help others, it's not impossible, but we need to think of a suitable way."
Lin Shucheng laughed as he heard this: "The chosen one of destiny, talking about our family? Before we transmigrated, we lived in a villa on the hillside, and your father drove a Rolls-Royce. We didn't have any illegitimate children or mistresses or any other messy affairs. Our family was living a very comfortable life."
"Your father has lived a life of good deeds, risking being scammed to take an old lady who had fainted to the hospital, and here I am, transmigrated into this godforsaken place? And they call me a chosen one? This is such bad luck..."
Lin Shucheng's voice trailed off as he spoke, because his wife's death stare fell upon him.
Jiang Yun is somewhat superstitious, especially now that she has traveled through time again, and she forbids them from saying anything that might bring bad luck.
Lin Shucheng, who had been bragging just moments before, immediately turned into a lamb. He changed his tune, saying, "Well, it really was just good luck. Otherwise, how could our family have survived such a disaster and even been given a golden finger?"
Lin Jinyue couldn't help but chuckle as she watched her parents interact. If her father's business partners from her past life saw that he was a henpecked husband, they would definitely laugh at him.
After walking for a while, Lin Jinyue saw a bunch of edamame, some of which were ripe and burst open, and the kernels inside were actually black!
She picked a handful, took a bite, and confirmed that they were indeed black beans, but the beans weren't as plump as the genetically modified ones from her previous life.
Lin Jinyue then had her father and brother pick the black beans together.
Hearing that it could solve the famine problem, the other three breathed a sigh of relief and picked a lot of black beans without stopping.
Although they always said that they only needed to take care of their own families, they couldn't bear to see the villagers starving and emaciated, especially when their own family was eating meat in the space; it always made them feel uneasy.
Now there seems to be a solution.
Lin Jinyue picked black beans and went back to Lin Youcai's house to borrow an iron pot to stir-fry them.
Among the fleeing famine group, only the village chief's family had an iron pot. The Lin family members were all skin and bones, but they couldn't bear to throw it away.
Lin Jinyue chattered, "Grandpa, I remembered that we can eat roasted black beans and pine needles together. I heard my maternal grandfather say that if you drink it with cold water, it will keep you full and is also good for your health. We are saved!"
Lin Youcai was so excited that tears streamed down his face: "You really have a way with things. No wonder your father dotes on you so much. Er Ya, you've saved the lives of the whole village!"
There are plenty of black beans in this forest, and pine trees are everywhere. They were running out of ammunition and food and were about to die, but now things have taken a turn for the better!
Taking this opportunity, Lin Jinyue added, "In short, everyone keep moving forward, don't abandon anyone, and don't let the girls at home go hungry. There's always a way to overcome difficulties."
Lin Youcai nodded solemnly, "Okay."
The group looked at Lin Jinyue with piety in their eyes; she had saved so many of their lives.
At this point, no one would treat Lin Jinyue as a child anymore.
In the past two days, the villagers have started looking for black beans, and they have searched almost the entire forest. They dare not go any deeper than that, for fear of wild animals.
The group searched for food in the mountains in large groups, no longer as hesitant as before, not daring to search only in one area.
I've actually found quite a few good things these past few days.
