Linjiagou has always been poor because the village is located in a mountain valley. The village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the land in the village is also mountainous. Even in years with good weather, after paying all kinds of taxes, every household still has to tighten their belts to make ends meet. They have never had a single good day.
Lin Chaonan was just eighteen years old, a time of youthful passion and enthusiasm. He was full of ideas and energy, and wanted to contribute to the village, so Yue Jiuyue naturally wouldn't stop him.
"Yes, that's fine."
Unexpectedly, Yue Jiuyue agreed so easily. Lin Chaonan, who had hesitated for a long time and prepared many speeches in his mind, was stunned in disbelief.
Is this his mother?
Is his mother really that easy to talk to?
This is a business that can make money, and he just let it go like that, and his mother wasn't even angry?
Shouldn't we be furious and accuse him?
If that doesn't work, just chase him all over the village with a millstone.
Lin Chaonan was a little scared that he had agreed so easily, without any prior warning...
"Mother, you agree?"
"What's wrong? Are you upset that you haven't been scolded yet? Or do you want to get beaten up? Are you itching for a beating?"
Yue Jiuyue's words put Lin Chaonan at ease. His mother was still his mother. Perhaps it was because these days were too difficult, and his mother wanted to do something for the village.
Lin Chaonan comforted himself in this way, secretly encouraging himself that he must learn how to process medicinal herbs as soon as possible so that he could teach his clansmen how to process medicinal herbs.
Yue Jiuyue panicked for a moment; she almost got exposed just now, all because the moonlight was too beautiful!
She wasn't the original owner of this body after all, and she couldn't control herself with her new identity. She felt that since the other person had learned things through their own abilities, they could teach them to whomever they wanted, and it was none of her business.
But she forgot how unreasonable it was that when her own family was so poor they had no food, her son wanted to contribute to the whole village, and she, as his mother, had no objection.
Fortunately, Lin Chaonan didn't ask any more questions, otherwise she would have had to rack her brains to come up with some excuse to fool him.
She secretly reminded herself that she couldn't be distracted anymore. She had to keep her identity in mind at all times and maintain her persona properly, otherwise, if her true identity was exposed one day, she might have to rise from the ashes.
After returning home, Yue Jiuyue hurriedly went into her room and bolted the door. She took a bath, brushed her teeth, poured the dirty water little by little into the mouse hole, took out her bed, and quickly climbed into bed to fall fast asleep.
It's just a cold shower; I'll get through it soon.
When she was in school, in order to save on electricity bills, the dormitory would boil water once and then two people would shower together. The one in front was fine, but the one behind could only hope for the best. If there wasn't much hot water left in the water heater, they would have to use cold water. She was cheated several times in the dead of winter. Of course, the one behind her was in the same situation.
It's already April, and with the dry weather, the temperature is almost like May. Taking a cold shower is really fine, except for the waste of water.
Another problem is that because of the lack of water, Yue Jiuyue can't wash her hair. She always feels that there is not much difference between her and not taking a bath. Her head is itchy, and she still feels itchy when she is asleep. She even suspects that she has lice on her head.
Before going to sleep, Yue Jiuyue suddenly remembered the rat hole that she had filled with two bathtubs of water. She wondered if there were still rats in that hole. They should be gone, right? Otherwise, they would have escaped long ago.
