Chapter 32 Scruples



Lin Erya, that is, the little girl that Lin Jinyue traveled through time and space, she and her sister Lin Daya were almost pushed out, but at that time the Lin family had plenty of food, and Lin Youcai strongly opposed it, so they were able to save their lives.

Lin Shucheng: "If you ask me, the Lin Youliang family deserves to die. Except for the eldest daughter-in-law, the eldest and second Lin brothers, and their wives and sons are all worthless. Even if they die in front of me tomorrow, I think they deserve it!"

Lin Shucheng wanted to get rid of their family the most, but as soon as he showed this idea, his daughter would choke it out.

Lin Jinyue comforted her parents: "Dad, Mom, don't worry too much. After all, they are the original family. Now that we have come here, the most important thing is to gain a firm foothold in the ancient times. Others should step aside."

Jiang Yun was puzzled, "What does this have to do with anything?"

Lin Jinyue explained: "We can't go too far. After all, the villagers have been with him for such a long time. If we do too much, we will have quarrels with everyone in the future. They may worry that we are ruthless and can't tolerate others. If a village has such suspicions, it will be easy to be provoked in the future. Although this is just a guess, what if it happens? On the road of escaping famine, the most taboo is for everyone to suspect each other."

Jiang Yun didn't like that family. She thought it was a waste to give them coarse grains to eat. "If you are suspicious of them, there is no need to be with them."

Lin Xueqing also agreed: "And the village chief said to use clan law, but I have never seen him use it."

Lin Jinyue shook her head: "Is it really necessary for our family to be with them?"

The other three were puzzled: "Why?"

Lin Jinyue explained: "The ancient times are really different from the modern times. In our previous life, we had a big farm. If we wanted to see a neighbor, we had to drive for more than an hour. Not to mention the farm, even when you were working and living in a house in the center of the city, let alone neighbors visiting each other, we lived there for several years and never met each other..."

"But it was different in ancient times. Let me put it this way. Every time you go back to grandma's house, do you complain that those relatives are too nosy and nagging? In ancient times, it was an enhanced version of "no favors". My uncle brought a different girlfriend back every year, and they would scold him. And my aunt, because she was not married, had to be gossiped about every year when she went home. She only went back once or twice a year, but she was still annoyed enough. You can see how important favors are to reputation and relatives."

"With a good reputation, people will respect you when you go out. We get along well with the villagers. Not to mention that we can help each other on the road, we don't have to keep watch at night. Even when we go to Lingnan in the future, they will talk about our family to others, which is to promote our reputation. Otherwise, it will be difficult for our family of four to gain a foothold there."

Moreover, these villages are generally xenophobic. Take for example Liu the Butcher's family, who only moved here a few years ago. They were excluded everywhere after moving to Linjia Village. No one talked to them about important matters such as land distribution, tax payment, and labor service in the village. So, if all of us work together, instead of just our family making unilateral efforts, there will be more people to help pay attention if anything happens.

Even the Chen family who have been in our village for decades, the village chief would never assign important jobs to them just because they do not have the same surname. If there is any danger, the Lin family will definitely push them out.

In addition, there is another reason.

However, Lin Jinyue was still not sure, so she did not tell her family.

Recently, Lin Jinyue found that the system was upgrading much faster. After checking the experience details, she found that a large number of points had been increased. They were all very small bonuses of around one or two points, but they could not resist the large amount.

These experiences all have [Collect] written behind them, but sometimes, even if her parents didn’t go to collect them, the experience was still added.

Lin Jinyue thought that this was the experience points that the villagers gave her when they picked herbs.

However, the strange thing is that there was no experience bonus in the first month. It was during this period that her mother continued to treat people and her family helped the village solve the water problem, which increased her experience points more and more.

Lin Jinyue guessed that it was probably because her prestige in the hearts of others had increased, so these people's gathering and farming could increase her experience points.

In other words, if Lin Jinyue could settle down with them in the future, each of these people would grow some land at home, and she could just sit back and collect experience points. These people were her lifelong friends, and she didn't know the system's evaluation criteria yet, so it would not be easy for her to specifically look for people to help her grow land and gain experience points in the future.

It is so difficult to gain farm experience. Now it is only level 4, and the most basic toothpaste and toothbrush cannot be unlocked. Lin Jinyue is still counting on the system upgrade to unlock the farm and her villa.

If we rely on them alone, it will take a long time.

Therefore, as long as this group of people do not have any major problems in principle, Lin Jinyue would prefer to take them away with her.

Seeing that her parents were somewhat dissatisfied with the attitude of the village chief, Lin Jinyue also spoke well of the village chief:

"Dad, Mom, don't look down on Village Chief Lin for being indecisive. If you ask me, he is quite kind, but he is never too soft-hearted when it comes to major issues. Think about it, we are brothers after all. If our uncle killed someone, we would definitely be willing to call the police."

The three of them nodded. After all, it was ancient times and the way of thinking was completely different from modern times.

In fact, the villagers are pretty nice.

Anyway, no one in the village likes Lin Youliang's family now, and they are still tied up with ropes, so there is no need to worry about them causing trouble.

But Jiang Yun still couldn't swallow her anger: "So we're just going to let Lin Youliang and his family go?"

Lin Jinyue shook her head: "That's definitely not possible."

Lin Jinyue took out the map and showed it to them: "Look, we are almost at the border of Ruyang County now. If we continue to go south, we will arrive in two months. If we can get more carriages and carts, we will reach Lingnan in more than a month. Look, this is Shawan Town. After much thought, I think this is the best place. It has a good geographical location, is close to the sea, and is remote. We have a farm, so we don't have to worry about the poor soil. This is probably the Guangzhou of the future."

Lin Shucheng was a little stunned: "Two months? There's still so much time... There's no rush. Forget about buying a carriage. The cost-effectiveness is not high. It's better to save the money and buy a cow."

Lin Jinyue: "Not long, very soon."

Then she pointed to another place and said, "Look, this is Songshi Town. It's almost at the border of Guangzhou, but it's still a long way from our destination, Shawan Town. Also, this place is far away from Prince Jing's jurisdiction. It's a relatively barren place, and there's miasma. Let's leave Lin Youliang and his family here and let them fend for themselves."

Jiang Yun recalled that before they came here, the original family suffered a lot of grievances in the Lin family because they didn't have a son, and their daughter was even more miserable. "I always feel that it's hard to swallow that breath if I just let them go."

Lin Jinyue stared at her brother: "How about we go ahead and let my brother break their legs?"

This is a real interruption, not a joke.

Jiang Yun stood up and went to the storeroom to look for medicine: "No, this family is too disgusting, I'll make them some chronic poison."
