When Lin Dongming heard this, his eyes lit up.

I'm so old, but I've never ridden in a carriage.

I thought my wish to ride in a carriage today would be aborted, but I didn't expect that the little girl Lin Jiuyue would change her mind at the last moment.

I'm going back in a carriage today. Won't the villagers be envious of me? I'll have something to brag about then.

Lin Dongming felt proud just thinking about it, and even raised his head a little higher.

"Dad, what are you doing? Be restrained. What if Lin Jiuyue finds out and changes her mind? I wonder what you'll do!"

Lin Jinlian frowned and said in a low voice.

Lin Jiuyue and her brother already held a grudge against their family, and it was hard for them to get Lin Jiuyue to agree to go to their house. They hadn't even gone there yet, so they couldn't let Lin Jiuyue change her mind just because of a small matter.

Otherwise, it won't be so easy to "invite" Lin Jiuyue next time.

Lin Dongming pretended to cough twice.

"Haha, hasn't your father ever ridden in a carriage? Thinking of letting Lin Jiuyue drive the carriage back to the village, we can not only save time but also gain face. This is a good thing."

"You know we are a family that fled from famine. Even after so long, the villagers still treat us as strangers."

"Dad thought that if Lin Jiuyue drove the carriage back to the village with us, the villagers would see that we have a rich relative, and maybe their current situation would improve."

"We can't be so obvious about it. If Lin Jiuyue sees something, won't all our efforts be wasted?"

Lin Jinlian also wanted Lin Jiuyue to drive the carriage to the village.

But whether to drive the carriage or not is not up to him. If he pushes Lin Jiuyue too far and she changes her mind and doesn't go, then it will be more trouble than gain.

"Hasn't she agreed? Why are you worrying so much?"

Lin Dongming said indifferently.

In the backyard, Lin Jiuyue was tidying up the carriage while focusing her attention on the conversation between Lin Jinlian and her daughter.

But after listening for a long time, he still didn't hear what the father and daughter wanted to do to him.

Afraid that Lin Jinlian and her father would get anxious, Lin Jiuyue came out leading the carriage.

"Let's go."

When Lin Dongming saw that Lin Jiuyue really brought out a carriage, he looked at it happily.

"September girl, did you buy this carriage? It's really impressive."

Wow! When Jinlian said Lin Jiuyue was driving a carriage, she didn’t quite believe it. She thought Lin Jiuyue’s carriage was borrowed from someone else. Unexpectedly, it really was her carriage.

I don’t know where this little girl got so much money. When others fled from famine, the rich ones became beggars, but when she fled from famine, she even bought a carriage!

How strange! How strange!

Lin Jiuyue smiled.

"You like this carriage too?"

Lin Dongming nodded involuntarily.

"I like it. A carriage. You can't buy it just by having money. Jiu Yue girl, how did you buy this carriage?"

Lin Jinlian was afraid that Lin Dongming would reveal his true identity if he spoke too much, so she quickly interrupted him.

"Dad, stop talking so much. Let's go quickly. Maybe Mom has already started preparing dinner."

Lin Jiuyue didn't say anything, just smiled.

According to what Lin Jinlian and her daughter said before, their family is not living a good life now.

Since it's not a good day, how much food can be cooked? It's good enough to have some oil on it, how can we start preparing food so early?

"Haha, let's go then?"

Lin Dongming smiled awkwardly.

Be patient, be patient! Wait until I get the money from Lin Jiuyue before I talk about other things.

Lin Dongming kept reminding himself in his heart.

Lin Jiuyue, driving the carriage, looked at Lin Jinlian and her father standing beside them and frowned. She hadn't wanted to let them ride in her carriage, but then she thought about what they were going to do and decided to hold back.

Lin Dongming got on Lin Jiuyue's carriage as he wished, with a smile on his face. He touched this and that. He was so happy.

People who didn’t know him would think that the carriage was bought by Lin Dongming when they saw his appearance.

Lin Jiuyue had never been to Lin Dongming's village, so it was with the help of Lin Jinlian and Lin Dongming that she finally arrived at the village.

In order to show off, Lin Dongming even directed Lin Jiuyue to walk around the village.

Lin Jiuyue looked at Lin Dongming speechlessly.

This Lin Dongming, did he really think of himself as his groom? He actually ordered himself around!

"Hey, Lin family, are you buying a carriage?"

When the people in the village saw Lin Dongming sitting in the carriage, they immediately became curious and couldn't help asking a question.

Lin Dongming walked around the village just to show off. Now that someone finally asked him a question, Lin Dongming immediately became excited.

"Haha, no, this carriage belongs to my niece. This is my niece."

Lin Dongming pointed at Lin Jiuyue who was driving the carriage.

Lin Jiuyue's face had turned ashen. She spoke directly, not caring whether there were outsiders around.

"Lin Dongming, where is your home? If you can't find it, I'll just leave you here."

When Lin Jinlian heard that Lin Jiuyue's tone was wrong, she hurriedly tugged at Lin Dongming's clothes.

"Sister September, it's right under the elm tree we just walked past."

Lin Jiuyue was speechless.

I thought of countless possibilities, but I never expected that Lin Dongming, in order to show off, would treat me like a coachman and let me drive the carriage around the village!

Lin Dongming felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Fortunately, Lin Jiuyue's voice was not loud, and the person who asked the question just now probably didn't hear it.

"Oh, Lin Dongming, I didn't expect that someone like you who fled from famine would have such wealthy relatives? If your family is so wealthy, how come I heard that you haven't paid the rent yet?"

"Are you planning on shirking your responsibility? That won't do."

Lin Dongming's face turned red.

I wanted to deny my debt, but I had just arrived and wasn't familiar with the people. To them, I was still an outsider. If I dared to deny my debt at this moment, the village chief would be the first to punish me!

"Who said that? Even if I, Lin Dongming, am poor, I can't do something like refusing to pay my debts. I'm short of money right now, and I can't make ends meet for a while. When I have money, I will definitely be able to pay the rent."

Lin Jiuyue had originally wanted to go and see where Lin Dongming's family lived as soon as possible, but after hearing the conversation between the villagers and Lin Dongming, she wanted to take out some melon seeds and crack them.

Lin Jinlian's face turned red when she heard what the villagers said.

"Sister September, let's go."
