The two knelt down and begged Lin Youcai, crying and saying, "Uncle, we were blinded by greed for a moment, but you can't leave us alone. We won't say anything in the future. We also know that the third brother's family has contributed a lot, but these few days, we are so hungry that we are starving. We really want this bite."
Lin Youcai was suddenly in a difficult position.
Lin Jinyue rolled her eyes in her heart. Lin Youliang's family didn't know what being poor meant. She had such a big golden finger, but they ate fried black beans and pine needles with the villagers, and only had one meal at the farm every day. Lin Youliang's family would rather starve than eat, and yet they wanted to morally blackmail others?
No way.
Lin Jinyue sat on the ground and cried, "Wow, why am I so miserable? My uncle and aunt want to sell me, and if they can't sell me, they want to steal food from my family. They scold me and my mother every day and say we are unlucky. Dad, I'm afraid that if you don't keep an eye on me, my aunt and the others will secretly catch me and sell me. Dad, let's go by ourselves. In the future, we don't have to share the delicious food with others."
Jiang Yun continued to scold: "You are hungry, so you think of ways to steal my niece's food every day? Who is not hungry on the road to escape famine? Just because you are hungry, you are right? How can you raise a bunch of ungrateful people? We will not do this thankless job anymore. There will be such a thing in the future. We will find people to cooperate with ourselves, and we can't cooperate with everyone anymore."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the village became furious and started scolding Lin Lao Da and his family for holding the villagers back. They even wanted to drown them in a pond.
Lin Youcai had already spoken, and this time he was determined to drive this group of people away no matter what.
However, they all underestimated the stubbornness of Lin Youliang's family. They couldn't be driven away and they followed them from a distance of ten meters.
Lin Jinyue wished they would make more trouble. In ancient times, filial piety was more important than anything else. It was not easy for their family to continue to chase them away. Dividing the family and severing ties was already the limit.
Moreover, the weak are always more likely to arouse sympathy from others. Lin Jinyue also wanted to save some trouble. Who doesn't have a few stupid people? You can't just vent your anger on others because of these few people.
The best way is to let Lin Youliang and the others do it themselves.
Now that she has been kicked out of the team, Lin Jinyue won't have to worry about feeding these people in the future. It would be better if Lin Youliang and his family starved to death.
At night, they found a place to rest.
As the temperature gradually grew warmer, it was already the end of April and they were still heading south. The further south they went, the more poisonous the insects became.
At night, while the villagers were settling down, Jiang Yun began to sew the tent. Lin Xueqing and Lin Shucheng were also busy, cutting bamboo to make a support.
Lin Xueqing is very deft and even made a convenient folding rack.
Lin Jinyue was cooking porridge on the side.
She grabbed a handful of rice and prepared to cook porridge.
In order not to attract attention, she always eats brown rice, and even complains that brown rice porridge hurts her throat.
But before she started cooking, she glanced at the people around her. Some families cooked quickly and they licked the bottom of their dirty, chipped earthenware bowls.
At the village chief's house next door, there was no porridge in Lin Fugui's wife's bowl, just a few grains of rice floating on the rice soup. There was a little more rice in the man's bowl, but the soup was still watery.
Everyone in the village is like this.
Lin Jinyue is not without thoughts. With so much food, everyone has a scale in their eyes. If they find that her family cannot finish all the rice, they will find something wrong with a little attention, and then the commander will give her a red card warning.
She only threw a handful of rice into the pot.
I sighed, wondering how long this would last.
Her family could eat secretly on the farm, but the villagers had to starve.
It was quiet at night, and Lin Jinyue could hear their stomachs rumbling. She felt a little bit sorry for them, but for now she could only walk like this.
It took Jiang Yun and his friends more than an hour to set up the tent. After eating the thin porridge that was like rice soup, they were starving.
The tent is big enough for a family of four to squeeze in.
As soon as they got into the tent, Lin Jinyue took them into the farm.
Jiang Yun took privacy into consideration when sewing the tent. She was worried that they would be discovered after entering the farm, so she specially sewed a double layer of coarse cloth to cover the inside tightly. Even with a candle lit, the outline of the inside could not be seen from outside.
After entering the farm, Lin Xueqing and the other two collapsed on the ground one after another, feeling dizzy and starving. Lin Jinyue quickly bought some bread for them to fill their stomachs.
It took them a while to recover.
Lin Xueqing was barely breathing: "Yueyue, aren't you hungry?"
Lin Jinyue was a little embarrassed: "I used the excuse of going to the toilet to secretly eat a piece of bread. I wanted to give it to you, but I didn't find the opportunity. Many people were watching you making tents."
A piece of bread cost one cent, which was not cheap. They only had a little over two taels of silver in their hands, so they had to be frugal.
But they couldn't be too stingy. When Lin Jinyue moved the rice and flour out of the warehouse, she also moved out the two boxes of cloth. After calculating the money, they could exchange it for a lot, so they decided not to treat themselves badly.
I've been eating pine black beans for two days. Although I don't feel uncomfortable like the first two times, I can even taste the sweetness in it. However, I have to drink it with cold water. It's more comfortable to eat it hot.
Lin Jinyue suggested: "Mom, let's make some convenient food to carry with us. I still feel more comfortable eating rice and noodles. Let's not save this money. I will go to farm in a while."
Jiang Yun was also worried about her daughter, so she said, "Old Lin, you knead the dough while I fry some pumpkin crisps and meatballs. You can keep them with you and eat somewhere empty when you're hungry. From now on, we'll cook the same way as everyone else."
Jiang Yun continued: "Xueqing, you go do farm work, don't delay the time you can come in. Each time is two and a half hours, and there is a six-hour cooling-off period each time. We can't waste time. Buy a pound of pork tonight, I'll cook some vegetables and make some pancakes. We can't come to the farm often in the future, so eat quickly and come out. Yueyue, what else do you think is missing?"
Lin Jinyue looked around and said, "We need to dig a pond to plant lotus roots and some watermelons. We will also need the rest."
The whole family was busy. Lin Shucheng and his wife were frying food, Lin Jinyue and Lin Xueqing were digging a pond, and they would catch some fish fry to raise later.
The family is working hard on the farm.
Looking at the current state of the farm, it is much better than before when it was just a large bare lawn.
Next to the cabin is a chicken coop, a rabbit hutch, and a duck coop, but they haven't been able to get ducks yet, and the cowshed is occupied by four horses. Originally, their family hadn't thought of buying horses, as they are expensive and not practical.
It's another story to do it for free.
Looking at the current scene, it does look a bit like a farm.
Lin Jinyue's face was covered in dirt after digging the soil for an hour and a half. She finally dug a small hole. She could only wait to dig a little every night to make a small pond.
Although she was dirty, she didn't look tired at all.
I'm just hungry.
Jiang Yun and Lin Shucheng worked together and the explosion went very quickly.
A dozen meat patties, mochi, and pumpkin crisps were enough to feed their family of four for three days.
With a little more flour and pumpkin, Jiang Yunqi made pumpkin dumpling noodles and fried the remaining half a pound of pork and carrots. For a while, the farm was filled with fragrance.
