Lin Jiuyue gave the village chief a look that said 'you know what I mean'.

Seeing this, the village chief asked curiously.

"Jiuyue girl, what's going on? Where did the Lin family get that money?"

If it wasn't illegal, the village chief would have wanted to get involved.

"Uncle, you can't earn the money that the Lin family earns."

The village chief was stunned.

Lin Dongming had seen him himself, and judging from his appearance, he didn't look like someone with any future.

Since Lin Dongming could earn it, why couldn't I? I couldn't compare to Jiu Yue girl, so could it be that I couldn't even compare to Lin Dongming?

"You haven't even told me this, how do you know I can't earn it? What if I can earn that much money?"

Hearing the village chief's words, Lin Jiuyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

If the village chief wanted to earn the same kind of money as the Lin family, he would have to either have the county magistrate's son change his sexual orientation or have a sex change operation.

However, in ancient times, even if one wanted to undergo sex reassignment surgery, the conditions were not available.

Moreover, even if the county magistrate's son had an abnormal sexual orientation, he would not look down on the village chief, an old man with wrinkles all over his face.

"Uncle, don't disbelieve me when I tell you that you can't earn it."

After hearing this, the village chief was still a little unconvinced.

"How do you say that?"

"Did you see the young man standing next to Lin Jinlian today?"

The village chief nodded.

"I saw him. I heard he was the county magistrate's son."

"That's strange, Jiuyue girl. How did the Lin family suddenly become connected to the county magistrate's son? The Lin family was able to earn so much money in such a short period of time. Could it be related to the county magistrate's son?"

Lin Jiuyue looked at the village chief with an expression that said 'You're right'.

"It really is related to the County Magistrate's son? Oh my goodness, the Lin family is really going to be rich. They've even hooked up with the County Magistrate's son."

Lin Jiuyue: ...

The people in Shangbei Village had rarely seen an official. The sudden appearance of an official made them look like a formidable figure.

Now that he heard that the Lin family was related to the county magistrate's son, a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.

"Jiuyue girl, your relationship with the Lin family wasn't very good before. Now that the Lin family has hooked up with the county magistrate's son, you have to be careful. It would be terrible if the Lin family were to do something bad behind your back."

When Lin Jiuyue first saw the village chief’s face full of envy, she thought that the village chief also wanted to curry favor with the Lin family.

Unexpectedly, the village chief’s first thought was not to curry favor with the Lin family, but to worry about himself.

"So what if the Lin family is involved with the county magistrate's son? I live my life, and they live theirs. Can they really come to trouble me for no reason? It's not like they have nothing to do."

After hearing this, the village chief looked disapproving.

"Jiuyue girl, what you said is not right. As your uncle, Lin Dongming and his family are like this. I believe you know them better than your uncle does."

"They came to take advantage of you before but failed and even lost face. Now they've hooked up with the county magistrate's son, so they're going to come back to get even. Anyway, you better be careful."

After listening to this, Lin Jiuyue smiled slightly.

"Uncle, I have always been a person who will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will repay them double. It's fine if they don't provoke me, but if they do, I will make them pay the price."

After listening to this, the village chief shook his head and sighed.

"Alas, September girl, things are different now. The Lin family has a backer now, and you are a businessman. If you can avoid offending officials, you should try your best not to offend them."

"If you offend them, they will definitely make things difficult for you, and then your business will be in trouble."

As the village chief spoke, he actually began to feel a little sorry for Lin Jiuyue.

This girl has no one at home. Her only younger brother, Lin Qiye, has gone to the battlefield and it is unknown when he will be back.

Although September girl has some abilities, she is still a woman after all, and a woman with no one to help her.

It would be very easy for the county magistrate's son to do something bad to Jiu Yue behind her back.

Lin Jiuyue smiled indifferently.

"That's all for the future. It's too early to talk about it now."

In Shangbei Village, the village chief was talking to Lin Jiuyue about the Lin family. In Xiangyang Village, Village Chief Liu was also sitting on a stool and looking worried.

"Boss, can you please stop smoking? You've been smoking non-stop since you came back from town! Do you really think you're a chimney?"

Village Chief Liu sighed.

"Alas, wife, I am worried about this too! Our Liu He only has eyes for the girl from the Lin family. But the girl from the Lin family doesn't even care about our Liu He."

After hearing this, the wife of Village Chief Liu thought of the time when her head of the family went to the Lin family to discuss the marriage between the two families, but was evaded by the Lin family.

"Master, tell me, what are the Lin family thinking? Our Liuhe is so good. Not only is he handsome, but you are also the village chief. Our family lives the best life in the village."

"On the other hand, the Lin family is living in the village like everyone is shouting at them. Our family didn't even say we dislike them, yet they took advantage of us first."

Village Chief Liu said unhappily.

"How can I not take Qiao? I'm so powerful now!"

When the wife of the village head heard this, she felt that her head of the family seemed to be feeling some resentment. She frowned.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? You were fine before you went to town, why are you like this when you come back? Who made you angry?"

The village chief puffed his pipe, taking a long drag. The room instantly filled with smoke, causing the village chief's wife, Liu, to cough continuously.

"Ahem, let me tell you something. Ahem, what's the point of you smoking this cigarette all the time? Does it keep you full or something?"

"What brings you to town today?"

When Village Chief Liu went to the town, his wife was not at home. It was the villagers who told him.

"I don't even know how to start this conversation!"

Village Chief Liu sighed and smoked his pipe, looking troubled.

"Why don't you know how to start? We're a couple and have been together for so many years. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

After being questioned by his wife, Village Chief Liu finally spoke.

"You know that the Lin family borrowed forty taels of silver from Miss Lin from Shangbei Village, right? That's why I went to town today."

"Ah? Didn't you say before that the loan of forty taels of silver had a three-month maturity period? How long has it been? Miss Lin from Shangbei Village has already come to ask for the money?"

When Village Chief Liu came back with the IOU, he told his wife and Liu He about the Lin family's loan, hoping to use this to persuade Liu He.
