When the shopkeeper heard Lin Jiuyue’s words, he immediately understood.
Miss Lin is having a conflict with her uncle's family. She should be more discerning in the future. Otherwise, it would be bad if she offended someone.
Lin Jinlian pulled Lin Dongming all the way to where he worked. After they were far away from Yimeng Tower, Lin Dongming finally couldn't help but speak.
"Girl, why did you pull me just now? If you hadn't pulled me, we might have already gotten the money from Lin Jiuyue."
Lin Jinlian looked at her father, sighed and said.
"Dad, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. We already know that Lin Jiuyue is in the same town as us. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Lin Dongming frowned.
"We'll talk about it later. We took the money from her today, and we can still get money from her in the future."
When Lin Jinlian heard what Lin Dongming said, she almost rolled her eyes.
"Dad, Lin Jiuyue is very wary of us now. Even if we can get some money from her today, it won't be much."
"My daughter saw Lin Jiuyue today. She must have become rich. We might as well use this time to repair our relationship with her. In the future, when Lin Jiuyue has any benefits, she will think of us first."
"Given Lin Jiuyue's current condition, even the little bit of liquid that flows out from between her fingers will be enough for our family to enjoy a good life."
Lin Dongming widened his eyes.
"Are you kidding your father? Even if Lin Jiuyue can stay in an inn now, she can't be that rich, right?"
Lin Jinlian pointed to the inn not far away.
"Dad, do you think anyone can afford to live in Yimeng Tower? I've already inquired about it. Even a regular room there costs thirty copper coins a day!"
"Thirty copper coins! A whole day of carrying bags at the docks with my brother is enough for Lin Jiuyue to stay for one night. Besides, judging from the shopkeeper's attitude towards Lin Jiuyue, it doesn't look like she's staying in an ordinary guest room."
Lin Dongming was even more shocked after hearing this.
"What? You mean that inn called Yimenglou, where a standard room costs thirty copper coins a night?"
Lin Jinlian nodded.
"That's what I found out. It can't be wrong."
Lin Dongming touched his chin, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or to Lin Jinlian.
"Could it be that that stinky girl Lin Jiuyue has really become successful?"
That little girl spent a day's wages just to stay there for one night. If I didn't have some money, I wouldn't dare to spend it like that.
Besides, I don’t know whether that little girl Lin Jiuyue lives in an ordinary room or not. If she lives in a high room, how much money would it cost per night?
No, no, I can’t think about it anymore. If I think about it again, I will be heartbroken.
"That should be correct. Dad, the most important thing for us right now is not to ask Lin Jiuyue for money, but to build a good relationship with her."
"Think about it, Lin Jiuyue doesn't have any relatives in this world, and you're her uncle. If she becomes successful, wouldn't she help you?"
Lin Dongming nodded.
My daughter is right, a steady and steady approach is the long-term solution. If I want benefits, there is no need to rush.
"Jinlian, you're really thoughtful. Let's go back and have a good discussion about what to do next."
After hearing this, Lin Jinlian was very happy.
If I go back to discuss it, it will delay my work time. My father said this, does that mean that I don’t have to go to work today?
"Well, we need to discuss this carefully. Come on, Dad, let's go back first."
At this time, Lin Jiuyue was rushing to the village, and she had no idea that because of this, the Lin family began to make plans of their own again.
Upper North Village.
As soon as Lin Jiuyue and her brother arrived in Shangbei Village, they began to build their house on a large scale. Many people in the village would come to see them every day.
Normally, Lin Jiuyue and her brother were not in the village, as the construction of the house was left to the people hired by Gu Chengyan. Therefore, the villagers only watched from afar.
"Ms. Lin, your family is really rich. You and your brother can actually build such a big house. I'm so envious."
"By the way, Miss Lin, could you tell us fellow villagers what you did to earn so much money?"
When Lin Jiuyue heard these sarcastic words, she turned around and saw a woman with a mean look.
"What else can he do to make money? Of course, he makes money by gossiping about people behind their backs and spreading rumors."
"Auntie, you've been gossiping about other people's families so much, but haven't you made any money?"
When the woman heard Lin Jiuyue's words, her face suddenly turned ugly.
"Lin Jiuyue, we are all from the same village. Why are you speaking so harshly? Are you looking down on us poor fellow villagers?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Auntie, you're right. I, Lin Jiuyue, look down on people like you who have no ability and can only be jealous of others."
The woman who spoke: ...
"Oh, right, let me give you a piece of advice. When it comes to life, don't get involved in things you shouldn't be involved in, and don't say things you shouldn't say. Sometimes, disaster comes from people's mouths. Just like Auntie, if you talk bad about others carelessly, you might get into trouble one day."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, he looked at the woman meaningfully.
Everything about the village is good, except for the village women, who are like international intelligence agencies, eager to learn all kinds of news. They're not afraid of getting into trouble.
When the woman heard Lin Jiuyue's words, her face turned red.
"Haha, Miss Lin, you are really good at talking. I can't argue with you."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Does this person really think that he doesn’t know anything just because he is not in the village?
"I know exactly how much bad things Auntie said about my sister and me behind our backs. I just didn't take it too seriously. If I really wanted to investigate, I would have had you arrested long ago."
After hearing this, the woman subconsciously stepped back.
Lin Jiuyue's brother and sister are not simple people. If they offend them, their family will have a hard time.
"Haha, Miss Lin. I'm just asking casually. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. But don't take it to heart."
Lin Jiuyue curled her lips.
Everyone here said they were just saying it casually. It really was free of charge.
"Auntie, since you know that saying this will make people angry, please don't say it again in the future. I, Lin Jiuyue, am easy to talk to, but that doesn't mean that my sister and I can let others bully us."
The woman stepped back.
"Look at what you are saying, little girl! Even if I say something bad about anyone, I won't say anything bad about you, right?"
Although the Lin Jiuyue siblings had fled famine to Shangbei Village, their reputation for evil spread as soon as they arrived. He didn't dare speak ill of them openly.
