She continued talking about the other benefits the system gave her: "Dad, Mom, we can buy pork from now on. We have more than two taels of silver. Pork is twenty coins a catty. In addition to pork, there is also the old bread we used to eat. It is very soft and palm-sized, but it is a bit expensive. It costs one coin each. I guess Dad and Brother will have to eat two to be full."

Lin Shucheng: "We can simply buy these and then resell them."

Lin Jinyue immediately rejected the idea: "No way. It's probably because we took advantage of a loophole last time to exchange a lot of things with brown rice. Now, after the upgrade, all the products have a sign next to them that says: 'Reselling is prohibited, otherwise you will be given a red card warning.'"

She doesn't have many more chances to get a red card, so she can't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture.

Lin Shucheng then asked, "Can we sell the things we grow and the animals we raise?"

Lin Jinyue nodded: "This is something we can sell."

Lin Shucheng then turned his attention to the horse: "Wow, this horse must be worth a lot of money, right?"

Lin Jinyue nodded: "That's right. Horses were strategic resources in ancient times, especially during times of chaos. They could sell for ten taels of silver a horse. Now that there is famine everywhere, the price may be several times higher."

Lin Shucheng immediately calculated, "Our family of four needs to buy at least a pound of meat a day, otherwise how can our bodies withstand the famine? That's 600 coins a month. We still need to buy rice and flour. Our family of four consumes a lot of energy, so we need at least a pound. A pound of rice costs 7 coins, which is 200 coins a month. Not counting seasonings, this little over two ounces of silver isn't enough to last three months."

He then set his sights on the horse: "If this horse could fetch fifteen taels of silver..."

Lin Jinyue immediately protected the horse: "No, no, the horse can't be sold. The three females can stay in the space to have foals, the other six males need to pull the cart for us, and the rest can be used for breeding. Dad, you can't sell the horse."

Lin Shucheng felt it was a bit of a pity: "Daughter, let's just stick to farming tonight, we can save some money."

Jiang Yun glared at him: "If you want to eat meat, take Xueqing hunting. We need to save this money. From now on, we can only use the money to buy rice and flour. We can buy meat when our daughter is craving it. We need to save money to buy medicine in town and also to buy a set of silver needles."

Without these things around her, Jiang Yun always felt uneasy.

The family continued walking, and after half an hour, they finally found a grove of trees where they spotted each other.

Everyone was preparing to start a fire and cook, their legs were sore from running, and it was already afternoon. They hadn't had lunch yet, and everyone was starving.

When she returned, Lin Jinyue called the villagers to come and distribute the grain.

Lin Jinyue wanted to take all the grain to distribute, as her family also owned a farm, but the village chief, Lin Youcai, insisted that her family take a whole bag.

She glanced at the few sacks of grain left and nodded. It didn't matter that everyone had little food; each person had some provisions for guarding the mountain, as well as black beans and pine needles, so they certainly wouldn't go hungry.

However, Lin Jinyue did not expect that what looked like five or six large sacks would, after being distributed to the ten households by Village Chief Lin, amount to only a small sack per person, which looked to weigh about a pound.

Lin Jinyue looked at the rice and was a little worried: "After all this effort, I thought it would last a long time, but this rice will probably only last for five or six days."

At this moment, a sarcastic voice rang out: "Ha, you really think you're some kind of pampered young lady. Do you think every family gets so much food like yours? Our rations for half a month are only enough for five or six days here?"

The person speaking was Lin Jinyue's aunt, Wang Chunmei, who was the one who shouted the loudest when the original owner of this body was sold.

Wang Chunmei pointed to a cart and a large bag of grain in the corner and questioned, "Why did her family not only get a cart and a horse, but also a large bag of grain?"

"There are sixty of us in total. If we divide the bags among sixty people, why does her family of four get a big bag? Why?"

The group, who had been happy to receive a bag of grain for free, suddenly felt disappointed.

On the road to escape famine, everyone has their own calculations; otherwise, it would be difficult to survive.

But they all knew where the food came from.

Would the other fifty-odd people dare to go and steal their grain?

Lin Jinyue had already been extremely kind to their family. Fearing that they would be implicated, she let them leave first. After taking the carts, she didn't forget the villagers. She distributed all three carts and three horses to the villagers.

Unexpectedly, they were able to share those five bags of grain with the villagers. Grain was so precious on the road of fleeing famine. Lin Jinyue had already been very kind to the villagers, and now she had brought so much grain. Lin Youcai felt embarrassed to accept it.

The third child's family really suffered a loss by traveling with them.

But Lin the Elder wouldn't let it go: "We came together and received so many things, so we should definitely share them together. Didn't we share the mountain guard's grain a few days ago? Besides, when Jiang goes to see a doctor, the villagers give her eggs. We can't keep taking advantage of her all the time."

Wang Chunmei also said, "We've all said we should work together as one and support each other, so why do you only remember your own family when it comes to sharing the benefits?"

Everyone rolled their eyes upon hearing this.

How can you say something like that without any shame?

Lin Youcai gave a wry smile and cautiously looked at Lin Jinyue and Jiang Shi who were approaching.

Why did he suddenly become soft-hearted and bring Lin Youliang, that big troublemaker, along?

When they fled the famine, his family was the first to receive the news. It was already considered that he, as the village chief, had done his best to inform the whole village. On the way, Lin Youliang had many troubles, such as food shortages and having to raise money to treat Lin Lao Er's illness. That was fine, as cousins ​​helping each other out was easy to do.

But Lin Youliang was completely clueless the whole way. Despite his advanced age, he couldn't see the situation clearly and even dragged the whole village down with him. Lin Youcai absolutely couldn't tolerate that.
