The shopkeeper was a little curious, but he knew that this was not something he should ask.

As soon as Lin Jiuyue left Yimeng Tower, Lin Jinlian and her daughter followed.

The father and daughter waited in Yimeng Tower for a long time, but did not see Lin Jiuyue come out, so they had to go back into Yimeng Tower to ask people.

When the shopkeeper saw that the visitors were Lin Dongming and his daughter, who claimed to be Miss Lin's uncle yesterday, his face turned a little unhappy.

"What are you doing here again?"

Lin Dongming smiled in a servile manner.

"Hehe, boss, I want to ask, where is Miss Lin who lives in your inn? Is she still there?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyelids.

"What are you looking for her for? She's not here!"

"How is that possible? We came here early in the morning and didn't see her leave. Boss, are you lying to us?"

The shopkeeper frowned.

Miss Lin had said before that she was indeed related to this family by blood, but her uncle's family treated her badly.

The two families had already drawn a clear line between themselves when they fled the famine. These two people came here just yesterday, why are they here again today?

Just as Miss Lin said, this family is difficult to deal with.

"I'm just a businessman, why would I lie to you? What do you want from Miss Lin? I can help you pass on the message."

Lin Jinlian frowned, then smiled and spoke.

"In that case, we won't bother you any more. Let's go find my sister when she comes back."

Seeing Lin Jinlian like this, the shopkeeper believed Lin Jiuyue's words even more and kept a wary eye on Lin Dongming and his daughter. He thought that when Lin Jiuyue came back, he must tell her about Lin Dongming and his daughter's visit.

After leaving Yimenglou, Lin Jinlian and her daughter walked aimlessly on the street.

"Jinlian, that naughty girl Lin Jiuyue, I don't know if she's deliberately avoiding us or what, she's been missing since early this morning."

Lin Jinlian was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

"Dad, it shouldn't be."

"How do you say that?"

Lin Dongming looked at his daughter with a puzzled look on his face.

"Dad, think about it, Lin Jiuyue is also one of the refugees. It's impossible for her to live in the inn all the time. Besides, we have only seen Lin Jiuyue so far. There is also Lin Qiye, who we haven't seen yet. Lin Jiuyue disappeared so early in the morning. I guess he went to look for Lin Qiye."

Lin Dongming frowned.

"That's true, but we don't know which village Lin Jiuyue and her brother were assigned to. It would be great if we knew which village they were in."

Lin Dongming smacked his lips and said with some regret.

"Dad, why are you in such a hurry? We already know that Lin Jiuyue and her siblings are in this town. Sooner or later, we'll find out which village they've been assigned to."

Lin Dongming said "hmm".

"That being said, our family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat. If we don't get some money quickly, what are we going to do in the future?"

Because of Lin Jiuyue, Lin Dongming and his daughter also lost their jobs. Now they rely on Lin Jinshan and Liu Xiaohua to work. However, they don’t earn much money, so it is impossible for them to pay the rent in a short time.

Lin Dongming was also afraid that if the villagers didn't receive the rent in time, they would kick him and his family out.

The winter here in the capital is colder than in Lijia Village. It's already September. If we are driven out, how will we survive this winter?

When Lin Jinlian heard this, she also frowned.

"Dad, don't worry. There's a saying that goes, 'There's always a way out.' I believe we can find a way."

Lin Jinlian looked confident, which gave Lin Dongming some comfort.

"Well, I hope so."

After leaving the inn, Lin Jiuyue headed towards Shangbei Village.

When I arrived at the village, I found the village chief and told him about my idea of ​​buying land. The village chief was stunned.

"Miss Lin, you said you wanted to buy land?"

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

"Yes, village chief."

The village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue.

This Miss Lin is indeed someone with connections behind her. She built a house, spent a large sum of money, and even had money to buy land. How does this look like someone who is fleeing famine?

"Ms. Lin, how much land do you plan to buy?"

Lin Jiuyue frowned.

How much land should I buy? I haven't really thought about it carefully.

I want to buy land just to use the land to find a way to get the food in my space.

"As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you won't be worried. The more land you have, the better."

village head:……

The more the better? How much money does Miss Lin have left? How dare you ask for such a high price?

"However, it would be best if this land was connected. It would be difficult to manage if it was too scattered."

The village chief nodded and agreed with Lin Jiuyue's request.

"Miss Lin, what you said makes sense. However, our village doesn't have that much land to sell right now. How about I help you find out first? I'll tell you when I find out."

Lin Jiuyue frowned.

There's no contiguous land in Shangbei Village? If I want to buy land, doesn't that mean I have to go to another village?

"Miss Lin, I don't think you bought this land to farm it yourself, right?"

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

"As the village chief knows, my family consists of only my brother and I. We don't have much labor, so even if we wanted to farm, we'd be unable to. After we buy the land, we'll have to hire someone to farm it."

The village chief had long guessed that Lin Jiuyue would hire someone to farm the land. He spoke.

"It's easy to find people who know how to farm, but it's hard to buy this kind of land. You have to rely on luck."

Lin Jiuyue frowned.

It seems that I have to put aside my idea of ​​buying a large piece of land for the time being.

"Village Chief, what about that little hill on the back of our mountain? Is anyone interested in buying it?"

The village chief shook his head.

"That little bag belongs to the village, and no one has bought it yet."

Lin Jiuyue lowered his head and thought about it.

"Village Chief, I wonder if you would like to sell that little hill? If so, what would be the price?"

The hill was neither big nor small. Lin Jiuyue thought that if she couldn't buy a whole piece of land, and the price of the hill was right, she would buy it.

It would also be a good option to hire someone to slowly open up the wasteland at that time. Of course, the premise is that the price of the hill must be beautiful.

The village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.

"Miss Lin, you're not thinking of buying that little hill, are you? Let me tell you, the soil there isn't good enough. The yield from growing crops there won't be as good as other places."

The village chief did not hide anything and said it directly.

Lin Jiuyue smiled.

"Village Chief, I know this."

If the soil on that hill was really suitable for growing crops, it would have been bought by the villagers long ago. How could it be my turn to talk about it now?
