The shopkeeper waved his hands, trying to drive Lin Jinlian and her daughter away quickly.

When Lin Dongming heard what the shopkeeper said, he was disappointed.

I thought I could find Lin Jiuyue today and ask for some money from her, but I didn’t expect that this news was unreliable!

"Jinlian, since it's not Lin Jiuyue, let's leave quickly."

Just as Lin Jinlian was about to leave, she saw a figure walking down from upstairs.

Who else could it be but Lin Jiuyue?

"Dad, look, I told you Lin Jiuyue lives in this inn, right? You didn't believe me!"

After Lin Jinlian finished speaking, she didn't know where she got the strength from, but she pushed away the shopkeeper who was blocking her way and took two steps towards the stairs.

When the shopkeeper saw Lin Jiuyue coming down, he tactfully stepped aside.

Lin Jiuyue just walked up the stairs when she heard voices in the lobby on the first floor of the inn. When she reached the stairs, she saw that the people talking were actually Lin Jinlian and her daughter. And they were looking for her!

It was a strange coincidence that I and the Lin family met on such a narrow road. I had been fleeing the famine and thought I would never see them again, but I didn't expect that I would actually run into them in the end.

“Lin Jiuyue, I didn’t expect you to be here.”

"Dad, look, I was right, wasn't I? Lin Jiuyue is really here."

Lin Jinlian said happily to Lin Dongming.

Lin Dongming became much bolder when he saw Lin Jiuyue. He walked forward and looked at Lin Jiuyue.

"Oh, September girl, your sister said you were staying in this inn. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect you to actually live here. It's really great."

Lin Jiuyue frowned, looking displeased.

I didn’t feel that way before, but now why do I feel like the Lin family is like a dog-skin plaster that I can’t get rid of?

"What do you want from me?"

Lin Jinlian stepped forward and held Lin Jiuyue's hand, as if what happened before never happened.

"Lin Jiuyue, after all, we are cousins. We have finally met each other after fleeing all this time. Don't be so cold when you speak to us."

Lin Jiuyue took two steps back.

"Who are you and your cousin? If I remember correctly, we had already severed our relationship before fleeing the famine."

"It was your eldest son who initiated this matter. How long has it been? Have you already forgotten?"

Lin Jiuyue thought about how before fleeing the famine, the eldest wife gave her and her siblings a few days of food and then "kicked" them out.

Now that I have finally escaped famine and reached the capital, this Lin family member has come to find me again.

Could it be that he heard that I'm doing well now and wanted to come over and make some money?

"Oh, sister Jiuyue, look at what you are saying. How can we sever our blood relationship just like that? My father was just joking with you."

After Lin Jinlian finished speaking, she turned around and winked at Lin Dongming, as if she was afraid that Lin Jiuyue would not believe her.

"Dad, aren't you right?"

Lin Dongming was not a fool, and he immediately understood what his daughter meant.

"Yes, yes, Jiuyue girl, your uncle and your father are brothers. Although our two families separated in the past, our blood relationship cannot be severed."

A sneer appeared on Lin Jiuyue's lips.

"Really? That's not what my uncle said when we were fleeing the famine."

Lin Dongming felt embarrassed by Lin Jiuyue and looked a little embarrassed.

"Haha, Jiuyue girl, the situation was urgent at the time, and uncle said the wrong thing in a hurry. Please don't take it to heart."

Lin Jiuyue found a table in the lobby of the inn and sat down, pouring herself a cup of tea.

"I didn't take it to heart. After all, we're just acquaintances at best. I, Lin Jiuyue, don't have the time to bother with someone who's not even close to me."

When Lin Dongming and his daughter heard the first half of the sentence, they were secretly happy. But when they heard the second half, their faces instantly turned sour.

"Girl, why are you holding a grudge like that? Uncle has already said..."

Lin Jiuyue raised her hand to stop Lin Dongming from speaking.

"Lin Dongming, stop talking nonsense and tell me, what do you want to do by coming to see me today?"

Considering the Lin family's character of not coming to visit me for no reason, they must have a purpose for coming to me in such a high-profile manner.

When Lin Dongming heard this, he rubbed his hands in a servile manner.

"Um, September girl, you..."

Lin Dongming was interrupted by Lin Jinlian halfway through his words.

"Sister Jiuyue, it's actually nothing. We saw you yesterday and were a little unsure if it was you, so we came here today to confirm. Now that we see you arrived in the capital safely, we're relieved."

Lin Jiuyue raised her eyes and looked at Lin Jinlian.

Lin Jinlian suddenly felt like she was seen through.

"Sister Jiuyue, which village were you assigned to? Why are you staying in an inn?"

Lin Jiuyue curled the corners of his mouth and revealed a hint of a sneer.

The father and daughter are worried that they are fake and want to find out whether their address is real?

"Why? You guys think I have no money to use, so you want to give me some?"

Lin Jinlian: ...

"Sister Jiuyue, you're joking. Our family can't even afford to eat right now, so how could we possibly give you money? If we had money, we would definitely help you."

Lin Jiuyue looked at Lin Jinlian calmly.

"In that case, why are you asking about my residence?"

Lin Jinlian smiled and leaned closer to Lin Jiuyue.

"Sister Jiuyue, we are relatives after all. Isn't this for the sake of making it easier for us to visit each other in the future?"

"There's no need to move around. From the moment your eldest son abused us, there's no kinship left between us and you."

Hearing this, Lin Dongming was immediately furious and wanted to teach Lin Jiuyue a lesson as an elder, but was stopped by Lin Jinlian.

"Haha, sister Jiuyue, you are still angry now, so we won't bother you. We will come to see you when you calm down."

After saying that, he pulled Lin Dongming and walked out.

Lin Jiuyue looked at the two people's backs as they left with amusement.

Lin Jinlian is quite patient.

"Miss Lin, is that really your relative?"

The shopkeeper nodded in the direction where Lin Dongming and his daughter were leaving.

"I guess so, but it doesn't matter anymore. You don't have to pay attention to them when you see them in the future."

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly.

I seemed to have mentioned Miss Lin’s sad story.

"Miss Lin, I'm sorry, I don't know your family situation. I'm sorry for saying too much."

Lin Jiuyue smiled indifferently.

"It's okay, he's not an important person anyway. Don't mind it, boss."

The original owner's parents were both dead, and he had only one younger brother, who was his own younger brother Lin Qiye who traveled through time and space.

It can be said that in this world, the only real relative he has is his brother Lin Qiye. As for others, whoever he loves can do whatever he wants.
