"Go and call them back for dinner."
After sending Liu Shi away, Yue Jiuyue put the bed back in the mall's storage space, bought a pair of gloves to wear, and casually tied her hair up.
Oh right, I was so busy taking a shower last night that I didn't even get a chance to see what the original owner of this body looked like.
Yue Jiuyue then opened the online store again to compare prices and found that the cheaper floor mirrors were even cheaper than some makeup mirrors, so she simply spent thirty-nine coins to buy a floor mirror.
She took out the mirror, but there wasn't a flat place to put it. Yue Jiuyue didn't care about such trivial matters. What she cared about was whether the skinny, dark-skinned person in the mirror, who looked even worse than a beggar, was really her.
Unbelievable!
She was a young woman in her early twenties, in the prime of her life. Although she had become an orphan and lived with others since childhood, wearing hand-me-downs, she still grew up to be as beautiful as a flower, fair and delicate. This beggar-like appearance was something she could never have. Even the old women on the street who beg for money with a bowl in their hands are dressed properly.
It's unbearable to look at!
When Lin Chaodong and the others returned, the family each had a bowl of wild vegetable soup. Lin Chaodong went to the mountain spring to fetch water, while Lin Chaonan took the two kinds of medicinal herbs, Polygala tenuifolia and Pinellia ternata, that Lin Chaobei had dug up the day before and headed to town. Lin Chaobei went up the mountain to dig up medicinal herbs with great excitement. Liu stayed at home to take care of the children, while Yue Jiuyue went to the clan chief's house.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I've come to talk to you about medicinal herbs. Last night, my third son went to the clinic in town and asked around. They said they buy a few kinds of herbs, namely fine grass, crow's eye, carnation, chicken wine, and sweet grass root."
Fine grass, crow's eye, and chicks drinking wine—these three require their roots; carnations require those that grow above ground; and sweet grass roots require both the roots and rhizomes.
Yue Jiuyue wasn't good at those roundabout social niceties, and she was also thinking about finishing her story as soon as possible so she could hurry up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs, so she got straight to the point.
Clan Chief: ...
Wang: ...
Is this kid stupid? He just blurted out a way to make money like that?
Wang and the clan leader exchanged a meaningful glance.
After Yue Jiuyue finished speaking, seeing that neither the clan chief nor his wife intended to say anything, she decided to go up the mountain to pull weeds.
Her goal was simply to avoid her family becoming the scapegoat. In the famine, every household was starving, and some were even selling their children. If her family really made a lot of money, even if everyone in the village was a member of the Lin family, there would definitely be some envious people. Who knows what they might do in the end?
Anyway, she still has herbs like goosegrass, pigweed, and windmill grass to exchange for money in the mall. They are all common herbs, and no one is competing with her for them. She can make a fortune quietly, which is simply wonderful.
But the clan chief and his wife, Madam Wang, didn't know that. When Yue Jiuyue finished speaking and turned to leave, Madam Wang immediately grabbed Yue Jiuyue's arm.
“Oh! Auntie, this is a business that can make money, how could you just say it out loud like that? My family is barely making ends meet, you should do it yourself.”
It's normal for the younger generation in the clan to remember their family if they get any benefits. Their family has a clan head and a village head. Even if they share the same ancestor, the lineage has been passed down for countless years. There will always be people who are close and distant, and there will always be times when they need help from others. So they have to curry favor with their family.
