Chapter 17 It's all your fault



After he said this, he didn't envy the aunts and ladies who had jobs in the city so much anymore.

The people in the city were also hungry like them and also depended on the harvest from their farms.

"By the way, Yoko, your brothers and sisters go to your uncle's house every day to ask for food. Your uncle has a hard time too. Tell me about this..."

Lin Chaoyang frowned, "Do they earn work points by working?"

"I will definitely go to work, but my work is not very good. I don't think I will get much food."

"The bulk of your family's food is probably from the work points you earn at home."

"Your brothers and sisters are unreliable, especially Xiaoyun, who works for three days and rests for two days."

When talking about the Lin family's children, the aunts and sisters all shook their heads.

These children are totally unreliable. If we rely on them to support themselves, I'm afraid they will starve to death.

"Yangzi, I'm not saying anything too much, you should think more about yourself."

"That's right. You're already eighteen, and you still need to find a partner. How can you get married without some financial resources?"

"Xiao Yun is already fifteen, if she can't do anything else, she can just find someone to marry, and she can help support the family, don't you think?"

Lin Chaoyang nodded perfunctorily, "I know, I'll tell her."

After talking about this, Lin Chaoyang’s goal was basically achieved, and he didn’t want to chat any more.

"I'll go back first. I still have to visit my uncle. I won't chat with you guys anymore."

Several aunts and sisters waved their hands and watched him leave.

Lin Chaoyang didn't go home directly, he went to his second uncle's house.

My second uncle is very kind to my second aunt, so I guess those guys probably often come to my second uncle's house to eat for free.

But it wasn't easy at my uncle and aunt's house either, as they had to squeeze out enough food to make ends meet.

Lin Chaoyang did come back empty-handed this time, and everyone was watching, so he couldn't suddenly take out food.

He could only secretly take out ten dollars from the supermarket and put it in his pocket.

It's working time now, so my second uncle, my eldest cousin and my second cousin are not at home, only my second aunt and my younger sister are at home.

Second Aunt was quite surprised to see Lin Chaoyang and quickly welcomed him in.

"Yoko, why are you back? Didn't you go to work in the city?"

Lin Chaoyang smiled and said, "When the company is on holiday, I will come back to see you."

Second Aunt poured him a bowl of water and said, "You must be thirsty after walking all this way, right?"

Lin Chaoyang took it and drank a few sips before smiling and saying, "Second Aunt, I heard about it when I came back. Xiaoyun and the others came to eat together."

Second Aunt smiled kindly, "You're not at home, Xiaoyun and the others have nothing to eat, so come over and have a bite, it's not a problem."

Lin Chaoyang silently took out ten yuan from his pocket and said, "Second Aunt, I don't have any food here, take these ten yuan."

Second Aunt waved her hands quickly, "No, no, how can I take money from a child like you!"

Lin Chaoyang stuffed money into her pocket and said, "I'm working, Second Aunt, I have a salary, and I don't have to spend money to eat in the cafeteria."

Second Aunt was a little at a loss. She felt the banknotes in her pocket, but finally put them away with a red face.

Her family was indeed not well off, but with the ten yuan, she could allow her husband to exchange some food on the black market to make up for the shortfall.

After paying, Lin Chaoyang didn't sit any longer. If he sat any longer, Second Aunt would definitely keep some food for him.

Lin Chaoyang returned home only after leaving his second uncle's house.

It was supposed to be time to go to work, but Lin Chaoyun stayed at home, sitting in the yard, thinking about something.

When she saw Lin Chaoyang coming back, her expression changed instantly.

"Why did you come back? Did you come back to see how miserable we are?"

Lin Chaoyang did not answer, but asked, "Why don't you go to work?"

Lin Chaoyun stood up fiercely and said, "Go to work, go to work, what can I achieve by going to work!"

She pointed at Lin Chaoyang, her tone filled with uncontrollable hatred.

"Why can you work in a coal mine while I can only farm at home?"

"I can live my life again, I should be the best among people!"

Lin Chaoyang didn't want to talk to her about rebirth at all, so he brought up what the aunt said.

"You are fifteen years old. If you feel that life at home is hard, then get married."

Although it is a bit early to get married at the age of fifteen in the countryside, most families with poor conditions also do so.

If you start dating now and get married during the slack season, you will be considered sixteen years old.

"I won't marry! I will never marry a country boy! My best days are still to come!"

Lin Chaoyang didn't really plan to let her get married, and he didn't want to get involved in these matters.

"If you don't want to get married, then find a way to earn food yourself. Don't go to your second uncle's house for free meals every day. You are shameless."

Lin Chaoyun also knew that it was inappropriate to go to her second uncle's house for a free meal, but she had no choice because there was really no food at home.

"If you hadn't hidden the food, would we have gone to Second Uncle's house for free meals? It's all because you, Lin Chaoyang, are too selfish!"

"This is all your fault. How dare you say that we should go to Second Uncle's house for a free meal?"

Lin Chaoyang sneered, "You three ungrateful bastards, everything I give you is yours, do you know how to write the word gratitude?"

"Second uncle gave you food. What did you do for Second uncle's family? You ran away after eating it, right?"

"As your eldest brother, I have raised you up, but you still think I am incompetent and have not given you a good life."

"If I were selfish, you would have starved to death long ago. How could you still be alive today?"

Lin Chaoyun gritted his teeth and said, "But now that you have become a worker and are eating the rations, you want to abandon us and ignore us. You have no conscience!"

"We are born of the same parents, you are the eldest brother, you should be nice to us!"

"Lin Chaoyang, have you forgotten what Mom said before she died?"

Lin Chaoyang didn't want to talk to her at all. It would be useless to talk to such a person.

He just turned around and left, leaving Lin Chaoyun jumping up and down and cursing him behind him.

In his previous life, he shouldered the responsibility for the rest of his life because his mother asked him to take good care of his younger siblings before she died.

He worked so hard to raise those three ungrateful people, and it brought him so much suffering.

He had already fulfilled his mother's wishes in his previous life, and he would not be taken advantage of again in this life.

And wasn’t Lin Chaoyun also reborn? There's no way she can't survive.

He would never be a bloodthirster to these vampires again.

After leaving the team, Lin Chaoyang went straight back to the city.

Taking advantage of his free time during the day off, he decided to go to the black market.

Sister Hong and the others said that everyone in the city is scrambling for food, so the food business on the black market must be booming.

Instead of selling food everywhere by himself, he might as well find someone to cooperate with in the black market.

You can easily make money by regularly providing food to people in the black market.

He had already inquired about the location of the black market.

Many people in the coal mines would go to the black market to buy things. Although the prices were slightly higher, no tickets were required.

Lin Chaoyang followed the address and found an old warehouse.

At the door of the old warehouse, a few people were sitting in the sun, but their eyes were always on the situation nearby.

Guessing that these people were from the black market, Lin Chaoyang walked straight up to them.
