The delivery queue is moving very fast.
The first was that it was getting dark, and everyone was anxious and didn't want to dawdle. The second was that Lin Shiyu didn't say a word except to register, so those who wanted to say something were unable to do so.
The speed is incredible.
"Closing the stall, leaving!"
After the last person registered, Lin Shiyu immediately asked Liu and Tian Ge'er to move the tables and chairs in, not giving the villagers any time to stay.
…
The second day.
"Cousin, there are many more villagers outside. They are carrying a lot of herbs. Do you want to open the door?"
When Tian Ge'er heard the noise outside, he climbed up the wall to take a look, then hurried back to report to Lin Shiyu.
"No need to open the door. Just go to the door and tell them that we really don't accept herbs anymore."
Tian Ge'er hesitated, not moving an inch: "You really don't want to accept them? I feel really sorry for them..."
He just took a quick glance and noticed that the villagers outside looked exhausted and their clothes were messy and wet. He knew without a doubt that they had been outside picking herbs all night long.
Lin Shiyu waved her hands. She was deliberately ignoring the villagers. No matter how pitiful they were, she had to suppress her compassion at this time.
This is a matter of attitude. As long as we can establish our authority this time, we will have much less trouble in the future.
After all, this society emphasizes that everyone prospers and everyone suffers together. For her father's sake, these factors that will hinder her should be eliminated as soon as possible.
Tian Ge'er did not hesitate after receiving the order. He was just a guest, and no matter how compassionate he was, he could not be the master of the house.
For two consecutive days, villagers came to surround the Lin family, hoping that Lin Shiyu would continue to purchase herbs, but Lin Shiyu ignored them.
For this reason, the whole family did not go out for the past two days.
Anyway, there is food, drink and work to do at home, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t go out.
…
"Everything is finally settled." Lin Shiyu stood up and stretched.
"Then should we open the gate tomorrow?" Liu asked tentatively.
They hadn't been out for nearly half a month, and she was tired of the food at home.
She didn’t like going out before, and she didn’t feel anything special at that time. Why does she feel uncomfortable this time when she can’t go out?
You're staying at home like before?
"Go ahead, I didn't stop you from going out."
Lin Shiyu looked at Liu in surprise. Except for the first two days when she didn't let her go out, she didn't stop her for the rest of the time?
Liu: (⊙o⊙)
Brother Tian on the side: ?(????)??????
He should be the one suffering the most among the three!
A teenager is at his most active and lively at this time of his life, but he is stuck at home for ten days or half a month, which makes him feel very wronged.
Dadada...
Brother Tian ran out of the yard happily. Even though he didn't know many people in Yamada Village, he didn't want to stay at home all the time.
He opened the door, rushed out impatiently, and then...
Um?
He hit someone and was bounced back.
"Village...Village Chief?"
Tian Ge'er touched his nose, awkwardly led the people to the lobby, and then ran out, but this time he slowed down a little when he reached the gate of the courtyard.
In the lobby.
After Liu served their homemade tea, she retreated, leaving the space for the old man and the young man.
It would be shocking for outsiders to see two people with different identities and status sitting together as equals. Unfortunately, the gate of the Lin family courtyard was closed, and Liu was guarding the lobby door, so outsiders had no chance to see this scene.
The village chief came here this time to ask the Lin family to continue purchasing herbs.
Although picking herbs is hard work and the income is not high, this little bit of money is an important source of income for every family in Shantian Village (except for those with craftsmanship).
The same goes for the village chief's own family. Although his family's living conditions are better than other families, they are only a little better.
They all have two meals a day, but the only difference is that there are just a few more grains of rice in his porridge than in other families.
"Grandpa Village Chief, have some tea." Lin Shiyu pushed the tea in front of the dazed Village Chief.
The words he was organizing in his heart were interrupted. The village chief had no choice but to take the tea and sip it, continuing to think about how to start.
He had started organizing his words a long time ago and had been doing it for several days, but he only finalized it today. However, even though he had already entered the Lin family, he still hadn't figured out how to start.
It would be better if the little guy in front of him was Lin Anru. They are all men, so it would be easier to talk to him. He is also a junior he has helped, so it is easy to play the emotional card.
However, this is a girl, and she is not from Yamada Village. Not only has she not received their help, but she has also helped everyone in the village.
Wouldn't it be too bullying to ask her to continue purchasing herbs as an elder?
It was a small cup of tea, and no matter how slowly he sipped it, it didn't take him long. When the cup was empty, the village chief felt embarrassed to delay any longer.
Looking at the little girl with big watery eyes, the village chief subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Shiyu..."
But just as he called out her name, he was interrupted by Lin Shiyu: "Grandpa Village Chief, I know why you are here."
Someone brought up the topic, and the subsequent discussion became much easier. The village chief tried to sit up straight, looked at her expectantly, and said:
"Since you already know what's going on, I won't say any more. I'll just take the liberty of asking, is there any chance of a turnaround?"
"Whether there is a chance of recovery or not is not decided by me, but by everyone. Grandpa Village Chief, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand." The village chief responded immediately: "I will talk to them and ask them to come and apologize to you."
The villagers were being unkind. They weren't grateful for the Lin family's help in making them rich, but they actually complained about their leaders earning more than they did. This was worse than eating with a bowl in hand and then cursing after putting it down.
"No, no, no, village chief, you don't understand what I mean."
The village chief looked puzzled?
What's wrong?
What went wrong?
"Purchasing herbs and picking them ourselves to sell requires about the same amount of work, and the money earned is about the same. If they're similar, why does the Lin family want to tell the villagers how to pick them? Have you ever thought about why?"
Their family can make money, and apart from the money from these ordinary herbal medicines, the biggest part comes from the ointments she makes herself and the time when she helped the villagers treat ascariasis.
"Isn't it your father who wants to repay the villagers for their financial support?"
He also knew this reason, which Lin Shiyu had mentioned before.
It's called aid, but it's actually a loan, and you have to pay it back. The money I owe to the villagers has been repaid, but the favor is still owed!
