Chen Dawei and his son Chen Fuxi were furious.

Chen Dawei cursed under his breath, "These useless bastards actually ran away first!"

Although Chen Fuxi wanted to teach this group a lesson, he didn't dare to act rashly when he saw the crossbow bolts pointed at him.

Liu Dazhuang also fell silent.

But the next moment, he shot another arrow, this time nailing Chen Dawei's clothes to the tree.

Chen Fuxi was so frightened that he wet his pants on the spot.

As they ran, a patch of ground became wet.

Liu Dazhuang looked at it with disdain, "You shameless bastard, our village has already followed Er Ya's lead in being civilized and hygienic, how come you still peed on our land?"

Liu Dazhuang wondered if he could discuss with Er Ya tomorrow about getting compensation from them.

The next morning, Liu Dazhuang stubbornly stayed awake, waiting for Lin Jinyue to get up.

After hearing about what happened last night, Lin Jinyue said, "It's okay, don't be scared. If they dare to come, we'll charge in and fight them. Just one thing: don't take out those crossbows that you've made. Hide them away unless absolutely necessary."

She's not afraid of Chen Dawei's underhanded tactics; she can be even more cunning.

They weren't afraid of Chen Dawei reporting them to the authorities, as Gu Shao still owed her a favor. Moreover, with Magistrate Ji's letter of introduction, the officials of Shawan County wouldn't make things too difficult for their family.

Lin Jinyue should just go about her business; let those demons and monsters come as they please.

She's been very busy lately, figuring out what other profitable businesses she could pursue besides ice making.

Making ice is too complicated, so the price has to be raised. If it's expensive, I don't know if anyone will be willing to buy it.

Looking at the vast coastline, the fruit trees covering the mountains, and the coconut trees that could be seen everywhere on the beach, Lin Jinyue's mind began to wander.

There are quite a few ways to make money.

But just then, her father called out to her, "Yueyue, come quick! Our new house is all set up, and we can move in today."

Lin Jinyue looked at the rows of bamboo houses, large and small, arranged in a pleasing manner, each with its own large courtyard.

When the houses were being built, Lin Jinyue said that regardless of age or gender, each family's house would be built according to the number of people, with one room for each person, plus a main hall.

The houses of sisters like Qiaohua and Qiaoyun are relatively small, with only three rooms.

The girls in the village were overjoyed and kept thanking Er Ya.

If it weren't for Er Ya, several girls would have to squeeze into one room.

However, the village reserved the best and largest plot of land for Lin Jinyue's family, and Lin Jinyue's room was also the best.

Lin Jinyue's room is very large, with the bedroom and study connected together. There are two doors, one leading in from the main courtyard and the other leading to a small balcony that belongs to her alone.

The balcony was spacious, with a recliner and a small round table, not much different from her balcony in her previous life, except that they were all made of wood and bamboo.

Her father even thoughtfully made an extra-large foldable rain shelter.

Except for a tree with a swing tied to it on the side, all the other trees in the yard have been cleared away. Sitting on the balcony, you can see the lake view in the distance.

Lin Jinyue could imagine how pleasant it would be to have a glass of iced watermelon juice on a summer afternoon, lie in a rocking chair and look at the lake view.

In high spirits, she stood in the courtyard and shouted, "Come out, everyone! It's time to divide the silver and the land!"

Everyone arrived, each carrying a small stool, and came to Lin Jinyue's courtyard. The courtyard was spacious enough that even with more than seventy people present, it wasn't crowded at all.

Lin Jinyue held a piece of paper and wrote and drew with Arabic numerals.

Lin Youcai leaned over to take a look. What did it say? He couldn't quite understand it anyway.

Lin Jinyue held the paper and said to everyone, "I've calculated it. There's a lot of land in the mountains. Even though it's on the other side of the river, we can build a bridge to get there. We can leave some land in the mountains to plant trees, and since there are large open spaces, we can plant some vegetables and fruits. I have quite a few seeds on me."

Each household received land and silver according to the number of people in their family. Each person received two taels of silver and three mu of land, which included two hills, enough for their group to divide.

While grains cannot be grown in the mountains, vegetables, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, can be grown.

Lin Jinyue instructed, "Everyone, remember to leave some land. If I get new seeds later, I will distribute them to you to plant."

"Don't refuse this money. When we were fleeing, we treated each other like family. Some people took advantage of others, and some people did more work. No one complained. But now that things are stable, we can't do that anymore. We should only get what we put in."

After Lin Jinyue said this, everyone became a little worried. Why did it feel like the group was about to break up?

Everyone immediately started to worry.

Lin Jinyue hurriedly said, "No, no, no, we'll still be from the same village. When dealing with outsiders, we still need to stick together. However, to prevent anyone from slacking off and taking advantage of everyone, we've decided to stick to the old ways in the village. If something happens, we'll all share the burden, but even close brothers need to keep clear accounts."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Jinyue offered many suggestions, such as the two sisters Qiaoyun and Qiaohua learning medicine from Jiang Yun and being allocated six acres of land. Since no one was willing to cultivate it, they could rent out the land to those who were willing to do so.

For example, none of the families have furniture now; they just use simple bamboo bundles tied together to make do with beds. If they need help from blacksmith Li or carpenter Wang in the future, they will have to pay for their labor.

After Lin Jinyue mentioned these points, the villagers all said they could accept them.

I thought everyone would be happy to receive the money, but instead, they all looked worried.

When Lin Jinyue asked, Lin Youcai replied, "But we don't have any land."
