“But no matter how powerful the Zhang family is, what does it have to do with a servant like you? Try stomping your feet and see if it causes an earthquake. Or you can go and see if the Zhang family will stomp their feet and cause an earthquake for you. Don’t think that you are a human being just because you are standing next to the master and learning to wag your tail.” Lin Jiuxi is also quite powerful when it comes to his venomous tongue.

Xiao Cui rolled up her sleeves, not intending to let Lin Jiuxi off so easily, and shouted, "You cowardly bastard, why are you running? If you have the guts, tell me your father's name."

It was Sister Jin who stopped her: "Alright, that's enough. We are here to sell things, not to quarrel with others."

She had already seen that the reason why this girl was so imposing and completely disdainful of others was that she had a backer who was different from everyone else here. With a strong background, she naturally would not be afraid of these two servants.

As for how powerful Lin Jiuxi himself was, they couldn't even imagine it.

She is just a woman. No matter how powerful she is, she can only rely on her parents and family, and at most she has a good husband.

Myself? No one would be so foolish as to think that being good at embroidery or cooking well is considered powerful.

This person's words were unanimously agreed by those around him.

Because they were all starving to the point of being skin and bones, the rise and fall of their chests when they breathed was very obvious.

Even when walking on East Street, Lin Jiuxi could still hear many people talking weakly because of hunger.

"That's right. Being a woman might even attract Lord Zhang's attention. Not only will you not have to worry about food and drink, but your family will also be able to send you some food. I heard that the little girl from our village ate and drank well after being sold in. She didn't even remember that her parents were suffering outside. Her brother starved to death. This woman was cruel and didn't care at all. As a result, she ate a lot of meat and fish every day and ate herself to death. Her belly was as big as a few months old, and her eyes were rolled back. In my opinion, she deserved it! People who don't even care about their parents, don't they deserve to die?"

"Hey, what's the big deal? If you let me have a full meal now, I'll die tomorrow. Look at our current situation. It's a question whether we can survive for three months. If you beat me to death, then so be it. Anyway, I think it's much more painful to starve to death than to be beaten to death. I'd rather be beaten to death. It's a pity that I'm too ugly, so they don't want me. Alas, it would be nice if I were a woman."

Lin Jiuxi and Xiao Yueran don't fit in with most of the people here.

They don't want anything, just to stay alive.

The upper class people don't treat them as human beings at all.

Maybe he is dead.

Lin Jiuxi looked forward silently, and she seemed to hear the sound of the waves in her ears. She knew that it was not the sound of the sea. It was the sound of blood flowing in her body and the expansion of her eardrums.

…

But the others flattered her, emphasizing how well-behaved and sensible their daughters were, and how they could be brought into the Zhang Mansion without any money and serve as slaves and servants for them all their lives.

Leading everyone towards a brighter world, with laws to abide by and governance in accordance with the law.

"Yes, it will be fine once we enter Zhang's house. We can eat and drink as much as we want, instead of lying on the ground like we are, starving and unable to move."

Lin Jiuxi silently made a vow in her heart that she would tear apart this ugly world.

Xiao Yueran whispered, "There are several people lying on the ground, not moving at all. Are they dead?"

Lin Jiuxi couldn't bear to see her looking so pitiful, so he asked her gently, "What's wrong?"

Sister Jin said before that they were here to sell things.

That is the voice of being born as a human being, full of vitality.

There is an indescribable feeling in my heart, as if it is a magic in the world.

"It's not easy to get in there. People in there beat and scolded you. I heard that some people were kicked to death before they survived for three months."

But they feel truly happy that they can sell themselves.

Especially my daughter.

And what Lin Jiuxi had done was beyond their imagination.

Anyway, it was very easy to accuse someone with just a few words. Xiao Yueran looked at Lin Jiuxi timidly while holding the candied haws.

As for how a sold maid could have a good meal every day and support her parents, that was not something they could consider.

But there were a few people here who showed no signs of breathing at all.

Otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

They all believed that even if their children were sold, they should still be filial to their parents.

The tone of his voice was so matter-of-fact that he didn't even consider these people as his own kind, just like a pair of shoes or a table, no different from anything else, just talking and moving objects.

Unless the embroidery is done with the Thunderstorm Flower Needle.

Lin Jiuxi took Xiao Yueran away.

If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people.

Lin Jiuxi looked in the direction Xiao Yueran pointed, and indeed, there were several people lying on the ground with pale faces, eyes closed, motionless, and even their chests were not moving.

Lin Jiuxi listened to their loud laughter and the joy that came from the bottom of his heart when his children were sold.

This is the new world she hopes to build.

Someone who was close to them laughed when he heard Xiao Yuran's words: "Here, people die every day. It's normal to have so many deaths. It's still relatively good here. There was a flood in Yanzhou in the north, and more people died than here."

"Flood?" Lin Jiuxi was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, not only is there a flood, but there is also a plague. This is really too much for God to bear. I heard that there are dead bodies everywhere, rotting and no one cares. Some people even come to us." The man chuckled as he spoke, "I thought we were in the frontier of Jiangnan. We can't even feed ourselves, so they just follow us and wait to die."

"Then why don't you leave?" Lin Jiuxi asked puzzledly.

She didn't know about the flood in Yanzhou before, but even the people of Yanzhou knew to flee to other places. The refugees who had previously fled to Jizhou were now organized into the Peach Blossom Gang by her.
