Mr. Gu coughed awkwardly.

"Ahem, look at you two. Your child is already this grown up, but you still act so dishonestly. Can you just speculate about Cheng'er's affairs? If outsiders heard about it, who knows what would happen."

General Gu and Madam Gu were both somewhat unhappy after hearing what Grandpa Gu said.

"Dad, how could we possibly say this outside? We only say it at home..."

"Don't tell anyone at home, be careful, the walls may be eavesdropping."

General Gu: ...

Mrs. Gu: ...

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say it, okay?"

General Gu took a sip of tea.

After all, he's my father. As his son, I can't say anything more. If I say more, I might get criticized.

At this moment, Mr. Gu no longer cared about what his son was thinking. He was only thinking about when his grandson would get married and when he would have a great-grandson.

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but smile. From time to time, I would chuckle.

Mrs. Gu laughed out loud when she saw her father-in-law was thinking about something. She nudged General Gu with her elbow.

"What is our father thinking about? Why is he thinking so happily?"

General Gu shook his head.

"have no idea."

Following the housekeeper all the way to the place where the new household registration was to be processed, Lin Jiuyue talked to Gu Chengyan along the way. After arriving at the place, the housekeeper took over all the affairs.

Lin Jiuyue got the new household registration without any hesitation.

"Ms. Lin, the new household registration has been processed. This is your new household registration. Please keep it carefully and don't lose it."

The housekeeper handed the new household registration to Lin Jiuyue, who took a look at it and put it away.

"Thank you very much."

Listening to Lin Jiuyue thanking him, the housekeeper was still a little nervous.

It's obvious that Miss Lin has a special relationship with my young master. I don't deserve this thank you.

"Miss Lin, you are too polite. It is our duty as servants to share our master's worries."

I looked through the household registration.

"Gu Chengyan, where is Shangbei Village?"

Gu Chengyan rarely visited the capital and wasn't very familiar with small places like these villages. He could only turn his gaze to the housekeeper standing beside him.

"Oh, Miss Lin, I forgot to tell you that Shangbei Village is ten miles outside the city. It's the closest village to the city gate."

"I'm just thinking of having someone arrange a village closer for you. I haven't thought about anything else. If Miss Lin is not satisfied, we can always change."

If it were any other refugee, they would definitely not receive this treatment.

However, Lin Jiuyue was different. The housekeeper used the Gu family's identity to help Lin Jiuyue apply for a new household registration.

The person in charge of household registration was also very discerning. Seeing that the visitors were from the Gu family, he immediately assigned Lin Jiuyue and her brother to the village closest to the capital and the richest one without saying a word.

After listening to the housekeeper's words, Lin Jiuyue sighed.

It's true that it's easier to get things done when there's someone to help.

After thanking him again, Lin Jiuyue thought about taking her younger brother to see where she would live in the future.

Gu Chengyan was afraid that Lin Jiuyue was not familiar with the place since it was her first time there, so he went along too.

The housekeeper followed behind Gu Chengyan, thinking that since his young master had already gone, it would be a bit unreasonable for him not to go, so he followed him.

The carriage soon arrived at Lin Jiuyue's new registered residence, Shangbei Village.

I asked the villagers on the road about the location of the village chief's house.

"Sister, what kind of person is the head of Shangbei Village? Is he easy to get along with?"

When Lin Jiuyue heard this, she almost rolled her eyes.

"I am your sister, a human being. Although I have some achievements, I don't have the ability to predict the future."

Lin Qiye curled his lips.

It's okay for my sister to be Yin Yang herself, but after being Yin Yang herself, she even took the opportunity to praise herself again! I don't know what to say to her.

Not long after the question was asked, some villagers ran to inform the village chief.

"Village chief, village chief, there are a few strangers in our village. Judging from their attire, they are not ordinary people. Village chief, do you want to go out and take a look?"

After hearing this, the village chief walked towards the village entrance.

Before they reached the village chief's house, they ran into the village chief who was rushing to the village entrance.

The moment he saw the village chief, Lin Jiuyue regretted that he should not have brought Gu Chengyan and his servant with him.

The way these two people were dressed didn't look like they were fleeing famine.

"Who are you?"

The village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue and others in confusion.

Who were these high-ranking officials? They brought a carriage with them, but it was a cart instead of a carriage. It was obvious that it was not for passengers.

How could they be considered ordinary people? The way one of the young men was dressed didn't seem like that.

The village chief was a little confused.

"Hello, we are refugees from the famine and new settlers in Shangbei Village. We would like to speak with the village chief."

After hearing this, the village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.

This girl said they were fleeing famine? How could someone fleeing famine dress like that? And with a carriage behind them?

"You said you came here to escape famine?"

Lin Jiuyue nodded and patiently repeated it.

"Yes, we want to find the village chief."

"I am the village chief, please follow me."

The village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue and others, and walked ahead with mixed feelings.

Lin Jiuyue and others followed the village chief. After a while, the village chief stopped in front of a blue brick and tile house.

"Come in first."

Lin Jiuyue looked up at the house in front of her. It was a blue brick and tile house with a yard inside the gate. There was a small vegetable garden in the yard. Although the area was not large, the vegetables in the garden were growing well. It was obvious that it was well taken care of on a daily basis.

"Sit down and talk."

Lin Jiuyue smiled at the village chief, took out the new household registration she had just processed today, and handed it to the village chief.

"Village head, this is the new household registration issued by the government. Please take a look."

The village chief took it, opened it and took a look.

"The head of the household, Lin Qiye? Lin Jiuyue, is that you?"

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

"Yes, the head of the household is my younger brother."

In this era, although women can live independently, if they really set up a female household, they will definitely be subject to gossip.

Lin Jiuyue thought that since there were only herself and her younger brother Lin Qiye in the family, it didn't matter whose name was used to register the household. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Jiuyue directly registered the household in Lin Qiye's name.

The village chief frowned.

"Is it just the two of you in your family?"

Lin Jiuyue blinked.

"Village Chief, is there a problem?"

It's good to have fewer people in a family. Fewer people means fewer family conflicts. Isn't that a good thing? Why does the village chief look a little strange?
